  • I Don’t Do Humility. It’s Dishonest. 😉

      –“Good, you’re learning humbleness”—Giego Caleiro That’s unlikely. It’s that I’ve finished the research project, and have moved on to explanation and application. So I’m not attacking ideas to learn how to disambiguate them. I’m just working on explaining everything with spectra of market demands rather than monopoly ideals.

  • Responsible

    —Because “Responsible” is a moral term in which one has choice, and “Insurer” is a legal term in which one has no choice.— Curt Doolittle Bill Joslin: Insurer seems to tie into property in that if one does not or fails to insure a property (abandon it) they lose the ability to demonstrate it as…

  • There Exist No Rights

    Rights do not exist between peoples. Power exists. Rights are exchanged between kin for the purpose of cooperation in the pursuit of wealth and power. Everything else is just religious wishful thinking – the kind of thinking that makes people poor. ~Curt Doolittle

  • For Hindustanis: No More Nonsense. “You Was’t Kangs.”

    (uncomfortable Truth Warning) HISTORY OF THE IE CIVILIZATIONS: The European, Caucasian, Iranic, and Indian Peoples. Look. The IE expansion occurred in Ukraine and Russian north of the black sea out of what appears to have been a competition between proto-european and proto-iranic peoples (and not proto-turkic peoples). The southern and caucasian branch has largely been…

  • The Market Demand for Services Provided by Religion

    Oct 30, 2019, 12:26 PM The market demand for personal mindfulness (Spiritualism) whether empathic-femining (theological), moral-masculine(rational), or analytic-masculine(scientific) exists, and all three demands exist for most of us. The question is, given how the various religions solved mindfulness (Stoicism-epicureanism, buddhism, hinduism, abrahamism) which produces agency (stoicism), which produces optimism (hinduism), which produces withdrawal from reality…

  • What ‘Traditional’ Means, What to Say Instead, and How to Restore Reciprocity Between Genders.

      Advice to Libertarian(ideology), Constitutional (rule of law), Right(normative tradition), and Religious(theological tradition): Avoid “Traditional” as it’s indefensible. (FWIW; it means ’empirically successful in pre technological history because of the division of labor necessary under intergenerational agrarianism.’) Better argument is “Biological gender roles constitute the optimum Nash equilibrium under which all of us do the…

  • Don’t Hate, We Don’t Need To

    We don’t need to ‘hate’ anyone, we simply need the “rule of law of reciprocity”, and must insist on truthful and reciprocal speech to the public in public matters, as well as voluntary association and disassociation. The left are the haters and can’t succeed without lying and sowing discord between genders, classes, and identities. With…

  • Nothing Else Really Defines Alternatives with Actionable Solutions.

    (worth repeating) —“Millenials and Gen Z are mad that we have no community, society, fair ratio of marriageable women, reason to invest at all. Most of us would trade what we have now for communism, anarchy or any number of flawed systems. Philosophically speaking, fight club or the joker are more compelling than most or…

  • I Think You’re Confused About Property and Commons and The Evolution of Each

      —“Commons are for high-input, savage hunter-gatherers. Deconstruction of the commons via recognition of private property is the first step to civilisation.”— Jonathan Besler Um. Well, not quite the argument you’re making. European Hunter gatherers either did not produce fixed commons (hunting grounds, grazing grounds, farms) before they competed with settled peoples, only after they…

  • Q: How Is Your Concept of Reciprocity Different from The Common-Law Concept of Contract?

    “Q: HOW IS YOUR CONCEPT OF RECIPROCITY DIFFERENT FROM THE COMMON-LAW CONCEPT OF CONTRACT?” —“… … One Law to Rule Them All … One Law to Find Them … One Law to Bring Them All … And into Reciprocity Bind Them. … The Natural Law of Reciprocity: Heroism, Excellence, … Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Testimonial Truth, Jury,…

  • Any Country Can Be Great

    (from elsewhere) Yep. Any country can be great if it first creates a good disciplined nationalist military that then produce a judiciary, that then produces a government, that then produces a market, that then funds commons. People think it’s the other way around. it isn’t. Its military on down. One step at a time.

  • Economic Influences on Today”s Art World

    Oct 30, 2019, 12:30 PM 1) spaces are now general purpose rather than designed for function. This makes them less amenable to artistic treatment because they have to be ‘resold’. 2) Postwar materials (steel, glass, and panel products) are not amenable to organic arts, and it’s organic arts that constitute the majority of the western…

  • Value and Measurements Matter; the Economics of The Immoral; Your Time Should Matter

  • Vitruvianism

    I call it Vitruvianism in honor of Davinci’s Vitruivan Man. —“Man is the System of Weights and Measures for all things Human”— But the first man to say it: —“Man is the measure of all things.”— Protagoras

  • State Sponsored Hyper-Consumption of Goods, Services, Info, and Virtue Signals

    —“What we like or want may not be good for us.” — Curt Doolittle Context of the original quote was that we have used a variety of techniques to generate hyper-consumption and especially conspicuous hyper consumption, and even worse, conspicuous hyper consumption of virtue signals. In other words, we may like hyper consumption but that…

  • Q: Biggest Programming Mistakes?

    Q: Biggest programming mistakes? (from elsewhere) All my big mistakes are the same, and I remember them. I keep working when I’m too tired to keep working: So, I wrote more functionality than I needed to; I forget that I wrote something and wrote it again; I forget that I wrote it over there and…

  • . . .

    —“It’s worth noting that universal suffrage males gave women the vote, and in 1932, it was men who supported FDR over Hoover (who women supported more). Voting used to be granted as a reward for responsibilities, as a consequence of it. Own land, pay taxes and part of the militia who keeps the country free…

    Oct 31, 2019, 8:09 AM —“Quoting yourself?”—Chip Sills Is there some other way of demonstrating that a body of text is an excerpt from a larger body of text, thereby informing the reader that there is more to be known if desired? Is there some reason I shouldn’t disambiguate new content from repeated content? Is…

  • The Audience Is ‘everyone Able, and No One Unable’.

      —“Seriously, why don’t you write in sentences, the layperson can understand? Nobody, absolutely nobody wants to carry dictionary or Thesaurus around with them. Again, seriously, who is your audience?”— Seriously, why don’t you recognize that I write the same set of concepts in in essay, argument, aphorism, ‘poetic list’, table, graph, and serialized form…

  • We Must Rule with The People We Have, Not Those We Wish We Had – We Tried That. It Failed

      —“People are stupid. Plain and simple.”—@hunderkoch We can train them well and rule them well, train them poorly and rule them poorly, train them not and rule them as serfs at higher cost and lower productivity, and train them not and rule them as slaves at even higher cost and lower productivity. What we…
