  • What Is My Spending in Ukraine per Month?

    Cost of living in Ukraine. My monthly expenses youtube.com -Olga Reznikova, Kiev, Ukraine (curt: my point in sharing this is to illustrate what it is possible for monthly costs to be in a big city.) How much does life in Ukraine cost? How much does life in USA or Germany, hehe? It so much depends…

  • Define Liberalism

    Dec 28, 2019, 9:37 AM —“Liberalism is ideology that elevates individual above everything else by definition (communism – class, fascism – race/nation state). Liberalism seeks to free an individual from any constraints – ethnicity, class, nationality, and as of recent, gender, and eventually, humanity.”—Alex Pryazhnikov So you mean Jewish cosmopolitanism, marxism, feminism, postmodernism, and Christian…

  • Ternary Logic of Social Science

    Dec 28, 2019, 4:52 PM We focus largely on the law but not on the other innovations in the Propertarian program: Yes, Propertarianism consists of a set of innovations 1. Grammars (metaphysics) 2. Testimonialism (epistemology) 3. Acquisitionism and Propertarianism – Together making possible strictly constructed law (ethics) But we also have: 4: Cooperationism, Compatibilism, Cognitive…

  • “Curt, What’s a Grammar in Propertarianism?” (*Done)

    Dec 31, 2019, 12:54 PM (important)(core) A grammar has traditionally referred to a book containing the rules of a language. But I had to put quite a bit of work into ‘disambiguating’ the terms we use in language. The human cognitive facility consists of identification of constant relations between stimuli in time resulting in categorization…

  • Economics Is Just Physics with Debits and Credits (memory)

    Jan 4, 2020, 10:38 AM —“Women crave privilege and license. Men desire liberty and justice. Prove me wrong.”—Joshua Fox Turn that statement into economic language: women desire consumption and men desire opportunity for production – the consequence of which is trading sex and reproduction for resources: a division of labor organized by voluntary exchanges. —“To…

  • On Writing Fiction

    Jan 5, 2020, 12:47 PM All the time in every submission, every publisher’s read of it, and every rejection of it, and every reaction to rejection, and every thought about your reaction to rejection is a reflection of the time that you didn’t put into researching people, places, and things, that would fill your head…

  • Economics Is Just an Extension of Physics

    Jan 5, 2020, 1:53 PM We can quantify all sorts of metrics of human behavior, but you’re confusing mathematics with physics, the same way most people confuse averages with instances or distributions. In other words, mathematics describes averages of points in time, it doesn’t not describe operations.Mathematics consist of operations that describe states and changes…

  • Thoughts…

    Jan 5, 2020, 3:51 PM Subconscious has been troubled by (or working on) something that is beginning to take shape, and I can’t quite put my finger on it yet, but it’s coming out as very clear distinction between the feminine semitic and compromise hindu, and masculine european-sinic, but it’s deeper than that. It’s that…

  • Hamster Wheel of Urban Economics

    Jan 5, 2020, 5:20 PM Proximity decreases opportunity costs (time). Decreases in opportunity costs increase transactions. Increases in transactions increase monetary velocity. Monetary velocity increases the possibility of consumption. Increases in consumption increase the possibility of taxation. An increase in taxation increases the possibility of commons. Increases in commons produce increases in demand for use…

  • Fool Us Twice, Shame on Us.

    Jan 8, 2020, 9:14 PM ‘FOOL US TWICE, SHAME ON US. Why did they invent lying? And why are we susceptible to it? Abrahamic deceit is not backward. It is an advanced technology that like viruses or cancer, that takes advantage of a natural cognitive vulnerability to empathy and suggestion to bypass reason and create…

  • Fable 112 – The Chariot of Hermes and the Arabs

    Fable 112 – The Chariot of Hermes and the Arabs “One day, Hermes drove across the entire Earth a chariot filled with lies, villainy and fraud. And he distributed a small portion of his cargo in each country he visited. But when he arrived in the country of the Arabs, the chariot suddenly broke down.…

  • No, You Don”t Get It

    Jan 8, 2020, 10:02 PM I don’t get to ‘appeal’ to markets. The law doesn’t do that. We use the law to create policy that appeals to markets WITHIN the natural law. I CANT compromise without compromising the law itself. So no. Propertarianism isn’t an ideology or philosophy it’s just a formal logic of the…

  • We Know the Answer Now.

    Jan 9, 2020, 9:10 AM —“You lose me totally here. It’s ALL about race.”—Cortny That’s because you’re conflating two issues. There is no contradiction between ethnonationalism for all to produce optimums for all, and eugenics for all to reduce the worst for all. In other words under truth (science), under reciprocity and rule of law,…

  • Why Is There Oil in The Middle East? (lessons)

    Hydrocarbons are from dead organic material – and you need an astonishing set of circumstances to make oil out of these things and preserve them. First, you’ve got to concentrate them somewhere where they’re not dispersed or oxidized – which means in swamps, marshes, lakes or something like that. (See “Peat Marshes” and “Bog Bodies”.)…

  • Wisdom Learned and Wisdom Earned: We Are Self Domesticating

    Jan 10, 2020, 11:02 AM —“The hardest thing over the last few years I’ve had to come to accept has had to be be the proposition that “we are self-domesticating.” That we must own efforts in every “agent-arena” relationship because no one but us will. For those of us like myself that “wandered through the…

  • Parenting

    Jan 10, 2020, 12:41 PM Again: if parenting was that influential we couldn’t exist. Instead, parents primary control is ONLY who they mate with, and while you can’t make your kids ‘better’ you can do them harm. So in parenting, as in ethics, DO NO WRONG is far more important than trying to do right.…

  • Re: The Neuroscience of Intelligence

    Jan 12, 2020, 3:47 PM @charlesmurray Correct but the opposite, via-negativa: The neuroscience is trivial. The causes of defects in intelligence are almost limitless. It’s not so much that we need to understand intelligence (g), it’s that we need to understand why defects in intelligence are so common. AFAIK, (g) is the most accurate measure…

  • Combining Iq and Personality

    Jan 13, 2020, 3:20 AM What are you talking about? IQ is the most studied, most empirical, most accurate, and most consistent subject in psychology? The 60’s and 70’s were the scientific dark ages as the pseudoscience of marxism and sophistry of postmodernism had their largest affect on soft sciences. We combine IQ with Bi5…

  • Carlos Gohn Arrested

    I’ve followed this guy for quite a few years as an example of someone whose empirical management and workload was something I simply had to be in awe of. I don’t know if he’s guilty of anything yet but his skill is certainly something to study. He was brutal (American) in both France and Japan.…
