Education: Returning to The Teaching of Rule
EDUCATION: RETURNING TO RULE Our ‘Education’, back when only the aristocracy and it’s imitators could obtain an education, was not to manage, as was true in the as through the 19th century; was not to teach one to be an employee, or labor as it was in the early 20th, or a tax slave, as…
The State of Mathematical Economics
Understanding advanced mathematics of economics and physics for ordinary people. The Mengerian revolution, which we call the Marginalist revolution, occurred when the people of the period applied calculus ( the mathematics of “relative motion”) to what had been largely a combination of accounting and algebra. 20th century economics can be seen largely as an…

Governments as a Hierarchy of Producers of Commons – Where People Possess Common Interests Only
—“My question is how can government peruse multiple solutions while remaining expedient instead of the “one size fits all” solutions that seem to only cause more conflict.”— You can pursue many commons, you cannot pursue multiple norms (cultures). You can form i) a federal government that provides only the functions of insurer of last…
Definitions: Full Accounting vs Perfect Reciprocity
TERMS: FULL ACCOUNTING VS FULL VS PERFECT RECIPROCITY —“Describe what you mean by “FULL reciprocity” if you would.”— “Without having to make an excuse for an involuntary imposition of costs in either direction.” I sometimes use the term ‘perfect reciprocity‘ which is technically impossible, but is less confusing. The possible term is full accounting (what…

Propertarianism: Datatypes, Operations, Grammar, Syntax
PROPERTARIANISM: DataTypes, Operations, Grammar, Syntax Think of Propertarianism as a programming language consisting of data types, operations, grammar, and syntax. if you can ‘write a program’ that ‘computes’ (is operationally constructable’) with those data types, operations, grammar, and syntax, then you can write a formal description of any phenomenon open to human experience in the…
Two Statements on Women.
WOMEN AND GENGHIS KHAN We do not stop Genghis Khan from his parasitism by moral demand, but by eliminating his ability to conduct parasitism. We do not stop women from their natural preening, consumption, nesting, parasitism, currying favor and status through redistribution, and undermining the power structure by engaging them in moral argument. They lack…

Germany Must Ascend, Even at the Cost of the Anglo World
Feb 26, 2017 11:34am Even at the cost of the Anglo world we must ensure that this next ascent of Germany is successful.

Absolute Nuclear Family only Survives Under Special Conditions
The absolute nuclear family only survives under special conditions: when all men are in the militia, all families are culturally homogenous and near kin, and where there is little migration. In other words, it evolved under the middle class version of farming: manorialism, and the middle class version of farms: producing excess for market sale,…
We are Best When We Do Not Rest

Our second wave created a bronze civilization in central europe, and advanced all of europe by doing so. And we rested. Our third wave out of the Ukraine…

Quarterly Reminder – What I Do Here – Fair Warning!
For new friends and followers, please understand what I do here on FB. It is my sketch pad. I work in public like a village blacksmith where you can peer into the forge and see the experimental work being done – good and bad. Propertarianism is a very special thing and you can learn…
(Thoughts) Unwinding Psychology
You know, I can almost unwind this damn thing into a series of dependencies upon information…. not quite, almost. been bothering me since maybe 83? 84? The five factor model is utilitarian not descriptive or causal. what’s the cause?

Virtuous and Ethical Behavior Is Determined by Cost
Feb 28, 2017 4:14pm (full argument)(read it and weep. lol) —“I can struggle not to cheat on my wife. And still fail. While you can argue it’s better that I at least struggled as opposed to gleefully giving into my hedonism, I still missed the mark concerning virtuous behavior.”— Example of a parlor trick. Here…
Property without Magical Thinking
“There is no evidence that objects transform into property, that they are somehow magically infused with an attribute known as ownership. Sure, humans transform inputs into outputs all the time, that’s what we do, and generally we treat things that we have transformed as property. But the truth is that transformed objects are still just…
The Data You Want on the West Vs the Rest
Civilization: Powered by the West, Threatened by the Rest Via William Butchman http://thealternativehypothesis.org/index.php/2017/01/09/civilization-powered-by-the-west-threatened-by-the-rest/ As Butch mentioned above, (I just saw this post tonight, on March 1st) I’m increasingly confident that what accounts for the west consistently competing faster than ‘the rest’ is sovereignty, and its requirement for deflationary truth, and everything else results from it.…
On Unions
ON UNIONS The unions made common mistakes of overreach. They began with the moral: safety, liability, minimum wages, profit sharing, and replacing with cheaper workers (arbitrage). But then proceeded with overreaches that varied from moral hazard: demands for impossible future claims: continuous increases and pensions; then to the immoral: mandatory membership, mandatory fees, and fostering…

If you would be sovereign and confederate, you must equally compromise. If you would be sovereign and equally compromise, you must equally forgo opportunities for gain at another’s loss. If you…
As I Understand It This Is the Current Understanding of Regional and Now Tribal, Group Genetics.
As far as I know all human variation is demonstrably caused by little more than the intensity of expression of possibilities extant already in the genome. Despite partial speciation, we did did not complete sufficient physical speciation for typical classification because our primary means of speciation migrated from the physical to the conceptual, and the…
Europe and East Asia ‘have Done Better’ Because of Territorial Advantage Within Geographic Fortresses
Fortress Europa obtained non-territorial advantage by: A COLLECTION of hypotheses that include: a) europeans have higher neuroticism (creativity) b) europeans have lower clannishness (dislike of outsiders) c) europeans have dramatically reduced the size of the underclass ( produced a higher distribution of Iq, and lower distribution of testosterone) d) there seems to be a longstanding…
