Description (testimony) differs from Story (fiction) as does Measurement from General rule.

1) Money(commodity) vs Money Substitutes (instruments) 2) Law (Reciprocity) vs Law Substitutes (legislation/command) 3) History(description) vs History Substitutes (wisdom lit) 4) Description(measurements) vs Description Substitutes (narrative) 5) Deflationary (logical) vs inflationary (fictional) 6) Truth (Survival) vs Truth Substitutes (Justification)

If you study the evolution and spread of technology, then on the other hand, study linguistics, comparative law, comparative literature, and comparative religion, you fairly quickly understand that certain methods of persuasion are more truthful (recipes, procedures, operations, designs), and some are allegorical (history and literature), and some are loaded, framed, and suggestive (mythology), and…

There is a difference between obeying THE law (reciprocity) independent of regulation, legislation, and command, and obeying regulation, legislation, and command that violates that law. If we obey THE law we are sovereign. Otherwise, prisoners, serfs or slaves.

As far as i know we have discovered only one law and that is reciprocity. in addition we produce findings of law, legislation with the power of law, and regulation with the power of law in cases of prior restraint. law persists while findings, regulation, legislation, and command, do not. Ergo, people want the…

“Wealthy Enough To Practice Folly” That’s actually the answer. I debated a famous communist painter back in the 80’s. He was angry when I explained to him that every work of art he’d mentioned was the product of an expansionary empire that practiced slavery, serfdom, and suppression of local custom in order to increase general…

The British wanted to (rightly) recover the high cost of defending the colonies – the recent war had nearly emptied the treasury – and the colonies didn’t want to pay for it. This process escalated to the point of civil (revolutionary) war. This was extremely foolish for both parties, as creating a house of the…

Stop thinking of them as women, and just other people you talk to. Learn to be friends. Then in a few years you will find a woman. You are too underdeveloped socially to be worth anything to a woman. Women are not stupid. They know you are not worthy yet. https://www.quora.com/Im-inexperienced-with-women-and-I-never-know-what-is-the-next-step-to-take-What-should-I-do

No. A cause generally refers to a particular strategy. It may be charitable, political, social, inspirational, or aesthetic. Many charities have a cause, charity itself is an action, or category. https://www.quora.com/Do-Americans-refer-to-a-charity-as-a-cause

This is not so much a philosophy as the results of science that I can no longer deny, and so I live according to the science – in large part because it is advantageous. We are an expensive life form. Particularly our brains. We must acquire, and we acquire at cost to ourselves. All our…

Hmmm…. Interesting question. Can you trust your own thoughts? Does intelligence mean you can trust your own thoughts? I have an answer for you that you’ll find insightful. Intelligence generally translates to time required to learn – although below somewhere in the 80’s learning even the most trivial of sequences appears nearly impossible. And below…

“Yes, my dear, there is evil in this world.” Every person who does evil, does not do so because he thinks he is evil, but because he thinks his actions are warranted – either via punishment, retribution, restitution, profit, or some version of ‘getting his or her fair share’ (which is the justification we make…

This is a question that demonstrates a misunderstanding of the function of genes. You can’t measure genetic distance by comparison of the genome but by comparison of the consequences produced by the combinations of genes over time. In other words a single change may cause a disease, a small number of changes may produce profound…

Curt Doolittle’s answer: Every person who does evil, does not do so because he thinks he is evil, but because his actions are warranted – either via punishment, retribution, restitution, profit, or some version of ‘getting his or her fair share’ (which is the justification we make for most of ou…

WHEN I SAY ‘NO COUNTRY HAS EVER BEEN SO FRAGILE, AND NO GOVERNMENT SO DESPISED AND REVOLUTION IS TRIVIAL’ — this is the reason why. Three hours of electricity. two days of water, three days of food. In the LA Riots …..

—“And you call yourself libertarian. Lol”— So you mean, you don’t understand semantics, grammar, consistency, correspondence, coherence, parsimony and falsifiability? The only requirement for a libertarian identity is sovereignty, and therefore reciprocity, and therefore reciprocal insurance of sovereignty and reciprocity. Ergo, there is no condition under which untruthful speech does not violate…

—“BUT WHAT DID ROTHBARD INNOVATE?”— 1 – (Respectfully) I always think that’s a rather ridiculous question since of empiricism (Aristotle), Self Improvement(Zeno), Moral Literature (Plato), and Rational Mythology (Augustine), it’s easy to state that all of philosophy is merely footnotes stated in current vocabulary. 2 – My reading of rothbard, particularly “for a…

—“RE: BUT A PLANNER CANNOT KNOW WHICH RAILROAD IS ECONOMICALLY EFFICIENT TO BUILD”— (Responding only because some well intentioned fool ‘liked’ your reply) That’s false. Because all differences in economic productivity are reducible to time. Calculation is possible. The problem is competition that determines price, not the method by which price is…

Curt Doolittle’s answer: Russians (and Putin) were restoring their influence and status in the world. Prior to 2013, Putin was the most respected politician in the world, an idol of the american right, and on the cover of magazines as a hero. The problem was, that when the Ukrainian Maidan Revol…

Positive freedoms cannot exist because they force others to bear your costs against their will. Only negative freedoms are equally extensible to all because they ask us NOT to do something. Rights are merely positive expressions of the right to sue for restitution. So it is ‘Freedom FROM’ false, criminal, unethical, and immoral display,…

Hayek started with a theory of cognition and revolutionized thought. Peterson started in psychology with libertarian sentiments. I started in Artificial intelligence. I dont know hicks’ original line of thought but he has been libertarian. i wouldnt call taleb libertarian, but possibly a sovereigntarian but he came to his conclusions using computer models also. we…
