—“Family is enemy number one of the State”—Tomás Rodriguez Villegas People forget that the reason women have property rights was so that the church could break up the aristocratic families so that the church (state) could acquire their lands. By the French revolution, half of the land in europe was dead capital.

Keynes’ first work was in probability. He was a successful investor. He used probabilities where the law used operations (Legal transactions). He institutionalized the ludic fallacy: that games with limits mirrors human actions that consistently expand limits. All economies head toward disequilibrium. Growth is in fact an instance of disequilibrium.

National socialism for example, is actually and “Authoritarian, Nationalist, Autarkic, Commons-biased, Mixed economy” Classical liberalism for example is actually a “Rule of Law, Nationalist, Private Property-biased, Free Trade, Mixed Economy, with houses for the classes to negotiate commons.” (repost)

TRUMP, RUSSIA, AND THE WORLD – ENDING THE SECOND ATTEMPT AT A SEMITIC DARK AGE Any time you speak of Russia you are speaking of her peers: Italy and Texas. Because they are the same size economies. Russia’s world power status is living off the declining capital of the soviet era and can in no…

Virtue signaling is bad enough. Virtue signaling with your husband’s money is worse. Virtue signaling with other investor’s money is even worse. Virtue signaling with taxpayer’s money is worst of all. Women, for reasons we understand, demonstrate conspicuous consumption and virtue signaling with other people’s money, for nothing other than psychological gratification. It’s an expression…

—“Religion is a guilt economy. Look at the Left. They’ve even got Original Sin (white privilege). Contemporary politics is just a way for people to answer for the guilt they feel about their own flaws by shaming others into feeling guilty. Its just some religions say greed is a sin where others say being white…

It’s because they feel more vulnerable. Our ability to admit we are wrong is a combination of our vulnerability and the degree to which we have over invested in falsehoods in order to create self and other illusions of status and ability. Since both men and women do the latter, the sensitivity to vulnerability is…

I would prefer outlawing all charities that did not convey 100% of donations to the target. and I would demand warranty of that fact. This forces volunteers to produce goods through direct action and eliminates the profit incentive for virtue signaling.

We are Cain (Agriculture and Metalwork) and They are Able (Pastoralists and Parasites). The battle of the Indo European Conquest Continues.

I don’t hate on any group. The fact that it is in some our our interests to separate and some of our interests to mix, is simply an expression of the affordability of that option. Wealth allows expression of preferences. Some of us prefer separatism (because we have superior group traits that provide us premiums)…

They are terribly expensive, but produce extraordinary returns. Now, think about this for a second. Russia invested overly in military and in particular nuclear weapons. Of all the investments in sovereignty Russia made, the only durable one has been those nuclear weapons. Any polity with a few nuclear weapons and an armed populace, with stores…

1) The form of government must be flexible enough to account for ordinary times ( rule of law, judicial monarchy, and markets), endure warfare (fascism), and distribute windfalls ( participatory commons selection ) – although the latter is always questionably necessary unless sufficient to shift classes. 2) When one says “Absolutism” in government, one can…

THE TRICK TO UNDERSTANDING STATISTICS ISN’T MATH – ITS ‘MARKETS’ (COMPETITION IN EQUILIBRATION) There is nothing in genetic charts that requires mathematics to understand, just like there are no mathematical statements that cannot be expressed in ordinary (natural) language, and therefore understandable. The vast majority of genetics is nothing other than statistical analysis. The vast…

When the constitution was written, spelling was often phonetic rather than canonized as it has been post-Webster. Capitalization and font size were used as emphasis – bold not available to the pen, as it is today in print. Grammar was more formal and still retained some academic latin influences – including longer sentence structure. And…

Sovereignty in fact – because a group has enough capacity for violence to produce sovereignty over the will or ability of any and all competitors. Liberty by request – because a group does not have enough capacity for violence to produce sovereignty, but can purchase liberty with fees (taxes). Freedom by permission – because an…

1) Ethical AI is a trivially solvable problem in (a) hardware (b) software design (c) requirement of insurance, and (d) extremely harsh punishment of violations of that law, applied to every person in the chain of decidability. (d) international treaty. 2) We have solved this problem for thousands of years among humans with one single…

ORIGINS —“the earliest populations of the Near East derived around half their ancestry from a ‘Basal Eurasian’ lineage that had little if any Neanderthal admixture and that separated from other non-African lineages before their separation from each other.”— ORIGINS: RACIALIZATION OF THE FIRST FARMERS —“The first farmers of the southern Levant (Israel and Jordan) and…

Sovereignty in fact – because a group has enough capacity for violence to produce sovereignty over the will or ability of any and all competitors.

We are unequal by every possible measure, but to preserve the incentive to, and benefits of, cooperation, the law must adjudicate our interests equally. For this reason the law must always and everywhere treat our interests as equal and our abilities and value to one another unequally.

(It’s just self inducing endorphins – and another form of drug use as escapism. That doesn’t mean the religious “Spiritual” is not a psychological need to relieve the stress of ongoing computation with fragmentary knowledge. ) Yeah, but what if that experience is in fact what you want to consume? And what if consuming that…

by Neil A. Bucklew The Transcendent? Of course the idea boils down to unclear definitions and murky grammar. and none of us have the time to sort them all out. the transcendent cannot be consumed by definition, but there are plenty of illusions that trigger a neurochemical reaction that is expressed as a transcendent emotion.…

Bill Joslin A model for this could be described as concentric rings of influence, centering on the individual and radiating out into the commons based on which domain one acts as judge-of-last-resort. Am I judge-of-last-resort for my mind (clarity of intention) Am I judge-of-last-resort for my body (voluntary intentional action) Am I judge-of-last-resort for my…

Voluntary Association and Disassociation Must be Restored (its loss was a product of the unconstitutional 14th amendment). It is one thing to deny human beings commodities, water, and air. It is another thing altogether to force someone to engage in craftsmanship of any kind whatsoever. Ergo, if you package flour for distribution that’s one thing.…

Let me help you both: 1) We produce the social orders we can afford to produce. 2) We have the values we can afford to have in that social order. 3) We have the social orders and values that our demographics allow us to have. It’s physics and economics. Don’t congratulate yourself on circumstance.
