    September 20th, 2018 6:31 PM —“Friedman, like boaz, marx, freud, mises, rothbard, block and numerous imitators use a fairly simple but effective technique of telling half-truths that rely upon suggestion invoking altruistic responses in the listener, which circumvents our skepticism, evidence and reason. This technique evolved in the religious era and is central to the…

    September 20th, 2018 8:14 AM [T]he distribution isn’t quite even. I love how they take from 85-115 as average. that’s ridiculous. 106 should be the dividing line, so that we talk about quality more so than the flatness of the distribution. Really 95-105 is average and we need 100-110 to be average.

    September 20th, 2018 8:09 AM [F]un conversation last night with folks on the Propertarian Discord Server. Need to be more careful when I complain about keynesianism because I’m complaining about the Saltwater School and it’s abuse of Keynesianism to destroy human capital, and obtain power, in favor of expanding the socialist state. Still was interesting…

    September 20th, 2018 7:49 AM MEN JUST CARE MORE – BUT NOT A LOT MORE (why? as in all things, specialization and bias for genetic fitness of a woman vs bias for productive fitness of a male) Sex Differences in the Desire for Physical Attractiveness.

    September 20th, 2018 7:17 AM SORRY LADIES, IT’S ALL NATURE AND NO NURTURE Mothers need to feel it’s nurture. But largely you can make your kids worse, but not better. So nurture is largely an effort not to let kids play in traffic. Otherwise it’s just genes. —“For a majority (69%) of traits, the observed…

  • The Cost of Reorganization of Our Accumulated Patterns

    Time = rate of change in state. As we age we more slowly change state. Not only because there is less low hanging fruit to learn, but that the cost of reorganization of our accumulated patterns and consequent thinking increases, and at the same time our physical ability to learn decreases.

  • Controlling Our Hyperconsumption and Investing It in Better Returns.

    [M]ake women feel safe, and as the eastern europeans say ‘able to be weak’. Which they mean, able to love and feel and free of worry, and they will be their best. “Men work, women love, and this way we serve one another.” The problem is women’s competitive virtue signaling under consumer hyperconsumption is the…

  • Truth? We Just Find Them Disgusting. So Just Say It.

    —“The Leftist tendency is to conflate the Rightist Disgust response to various things as โ€œphobiasโ€. In other words, the Left confuses Disgust for Fear.”— The right is just too well mannered to say: “Actually it’s because we find your/their ____________ behavior disgusting and revolting because it is a genetic defect, and harmful to the tribe.”…

  • Us, Our Gods and Our Heroes

      [A]ll our heroes are dead, like Achilles, Socrates, Alexander, Ceasar and Aurelius. Some of them are clouded in generations of myth like Arthur and Sigurd and even Charlemagne; and some of them like Odin – our original warrior and law giver – are so lost in the mists of myth and time, that we…

  • Idiomatic and Ostensive vs Imperative and Declarative.

    “Privileging the Meaningful Over the Truthful Allows One to Discount the Declarative and Secure the Opportunity to Lie.” by Bill Joslin (genius) [I]n Ganz’s terms, Generative Anthropology is idiomatic and ostensive (also speculative) whereas Propertarianism is imperative and declarative. What allows for the apparent contradictions is not accounting for the inquisitive (questions as a distinct…

  • Summers on The Cancer of Runaway R-Expression

    —“Society is yet another biome – an ecosystem. Even vultures have an important role to play. It’s when the /r tries to replace (or successfully overruns) the apex /K that we get system imbalance and social cancer.”—Anne Summers [I] hadn’t thought of that analogy but yes, cancer is uncontrolled hyper consumption growth that breaks the…

  • Joslin on Generative Anthropology (postmodern)

    September 19th, 2018 5:53 PM JOSLIN ON GENERATIVE ANTHROPOLOGY (POSTMODERN) [T]ruth pertains to truth bearance (transmission of a claim which can be tested for “true-falseness”.) Meaning pertains to coherence to a frame. They can coexist, but truth pertains only to coherence with the existential frame (does it exist). Because it has this quality of coherence…
