(to paul krugman via twitter) What happens when we outlaw cherry-picking of capital measurements in economic pseudoscience, and prosecute those who create moral hazards by promoting it? Will you be as equally judicious in your self-criticisms? History will judge you as it has judged Marx, Freud, and Boaz.

Sovereignty Is Only Rational For Superior Peoples
Only a superior people would choose a group strategy of Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Truth(empiricism, operationalism), and Markets in Everything – because only a superior people can compete by sovereign, reciprocal, truthful, trusting, and market-competitive means.And conversely, only inferior people would choose an alternative. Hence the few use truth and markets and the many use fictionalisms. Because…

Psychology Is A Pseudoscience – A Philosophy Gradually Overcoming 150 Years Of Outright Nonsense. Here Is The Alter
1 – if you get mises and hoppe’s property rights analysis, and just add property-in -toto, so that you end up with acquisitionism. 2 – If you then take the cognitive biases you see how evolution fucked with us to keep us taking risks (acting, exploring) within our energy limits. 3 – Then take…
Hoppe’s Work
(from elsewhere) TOCAS is Hoppe’s best work. It is before he is overly affected by Rothbard. Like all Hoppe’s work, he is at his best in the study, description, and articulation of general rules of human incentives, and reduction of all of ethics to statements of property – even though he fails to make…
Psychology, Sociology, Politics, Group Evolutionary Strategy Are Trivially Simple.
But it takes a great deal of Agency (evolutionary advancement) to accept (Tolerate and avoid fictionalisms) that simplicity. Honestly. 1 – if you get mises and hoppe’s property rights analysis, and just add property-in -toto, so that you end up with acquisitionism. 2 – If you then take the cognitive biases…
What’s The Hardest Thing You’ve Ever Had To Do?

Um … the west evolved truth telling regardless of impact on the dominance hierarchy. The east developed lying to circumvent impact on the dominance hierarchy. China’s’ first philosopher is sun-tzu, “delay, deceive, and seek opportunity to act when the opponent is in weak condition”. The west’s first philosopher is unstated: we are…

In reality, you go to college or university, largely to gain access to an organization in which you can benefit from rents without risk of personal assets. Whereas joining the military you risk the most valuable capital that you have on a daily basis – your life. Even if the work (honestly) is not very…
The Answer To The Restoration In A Nutshell
When european women obtained their ‘freedom’ via the mechanical innovations of men, the ballot by the permission of men, and birth control by the scientific innovations of men, they put their efforts not into mechanical and scientific innovations, but to attack men, the church, and did so using the ballot and state. And when American…

In my experience the smartest and least ideological people I speak with are in Africa, South America, and North Eastern Europe, and Russia. Although we must account for russian nihilism due to a long history of powerlessness as slaves of the Golden Horde – their understanding of man is accurate. The Chinese suffer from intrinsic…

Everyone wants to be the leader, manager, executive, financier, politician, general, and king – until they achieve that status. And then they realize that they hold those positions because others want them to, and those that want them to, are customers that they must keep satisfied, or they will find someone else who does treat…

Military service and pensions are, like police service and pensions, the optimum lower middle, and working class forms of redistribution. Risk of one’s life and limb is a capital that the less able have to invest – and one that is detrimental to invest for the more able.

Animals capable of cooperation and communication evolve a heavy preference for gossip as a means of creating equality by preventing advantage in-group. The problem is, in-group equality is to the group’s competitive disadvantage. The Question instead, is how to enable elites to compete for the group. Western civ solved this through heroism and market rotations…

When Was A The White Man Made, And By Whom?
Whiter skin developed gradually beginning about 20k years ago.White People (West Eurasians) developed in ‘generations’ or ‘waves’. In our current form (genetic composition), ‘Whites’ (ethnic europeans) developed between west ukraine, and southern russia north of the black and caspian seas, when they combined Horse, Bronze, and Wheel. As whites moved westward they almost entirely replaced…
Do You Like The ‘hand You Were Dealt’ In Life?
I am proud of what I have done with my life – which is far more than most people can imagine even trying. And that is the only question we must ask: What have I done with the resources at my disposal?Not to fantasize about impossibilities. https://www.quora.com/Do-you-like-the-hand-you-were-dealt-in-life
Why Do So Many Businesses In Seattle Decorate With Severed Heads And Other Hunting Trophies? In Conservative Rural Areas It’s To Be Expected, But In Such A Large And Liberal City, It Seems Like It Would Alienate More Customers Than It Would Attract.
Seattle was a small sleepy town until fairly recently. In the 1970’s there were streets full of boarded up homes, and the east side was where you went camping. I had a small house on Lake Sammamish and it was worth $110k – and that wasn’t that long ago. Seattle is now an island of…
Is It Better For A Woman To Have An Iq Of 140 Or Above And Be Average Looking Or Less, Or To Have An Exceptional Physical Beauty That Defies Age With An Iq Of 100?
It’s actually the wrong question. It is better to have fewer defects than to have extraordinary advantages. LOOSE STATISTICS After a family makes 100K a year (50k each), they do not get happier with more income. After an individual has an IQ above 105 they do not get happier with more. After an individual has…
What Was The Main Cause Of America’s Rise Of Capitalism Steel, Oil Or Railways?
Neither. It was selling off a conquered continent to new settlers. Then selling those settlers goods and services. Then financing that territory, homes, goods, services, and educations. Even today the primary driver of the american economy and the reason for american consumption is housing. https://www.quora.com/What-was-the-main-cause-of-America-s-rise-of-capitalism-steel-oil-or-railways
Roughly, What Percentage Of Historical Humans Have Procreated?
Historically, as a general rule of thumb, something on the order of a third of men and two thirds of women. With periods of punctuated equilibriums where a small number of men generate a vast number of offspring. https://www.quora.com/Roughly-what-percentage-of-historical-humans-have-procreated
If You Were Given 10 Trillion Dollars, A Team Of The World’s Best Scientists And The Use Of Any Scientific Facility Or Facilities In The World And You Were Told To Solve One Scientific Problem What Would It Be?
There are a few well known ‘hard problems’. 1) The unnecessary senescence of cells2) A battery with the energy density of gasoline.3) The constitution of dark matter (the missing ‘charges’)4) General Artificial Intelligence. I suspect that we will solve them in reverse order.All of the problems are seemingly solvable – just very expensive. https://www.quora.com/If-you-were-given-10-trillion-dollars-a-team-of-the-worlds-best-scientists-and-the-use-of-any-scientific-facility-or-facilities-in-the-world-and-you-were-told-to-solve-one-scientific-problem-what-would-it-be
