  • Building Community

    Feb 7, 2020, 10:05 AM I think you should imitate bill’s technique. We use my feed to identify candidates that you then recruit. After a while you will be able to recruit your own people without my feed. Then once you have ‘got the message down’ enough, make a few dozen videos (it takes that…

  • Democracy Is the Slow Road to Communism

    Feb 7, 2020, 10:07 AM —“Universal suffrage will eventually cause universal suffering.”—Clifton Knox (Democracy is the slow road to communism. -hoppe) –“I am in favor of earned cumulative meritocratic suffrage based on demonstrated generational loyalty (military, political, social, legal, intellectual/scientific, economic, artistic)), investment in the commons, level of leadership, Territorial acquisition and settlement, establishment, leadership…

  • You Create a Movement with Ideas that Sell Themselves

    Feb 7, 2020, 10:09 AM You create a movement with ideas that sell themselves because they provide value to people by solving problems of the age – not by enthusiasm. Inspiration’s half life is 24 hours. A solution’s value lasts as long as there is a market for it.

  • Compatibility Elevates, Equality Reduces

    Feb 7, 2020, 10:40 AM —“Compatibility elevates men and women to their opposite’s strengths. Equality reduces men and women to their opposite’s weaknesses. … This observation of the differences between compatibility and equality applies to all disparate individuals and groups including Genders, Maturity, Generations, Classes, Ethnicities, Nations, Civilizations, or Races.”—Luke Weinhagen

  • The Explanatory Power Is There.

    Feb 7, 2020, 11:28 AM Scott – I don’t understand your post. My work completes the falsificationary method making possible the test of possibility of testimony under performative (deflationary) truth. Popper wasn’t able to get that far. He was partly correct in parsimony but couldn’t define it without market competition. He correctly stated that in…

  • A Little Context for When I Use “monarchy”

    Feb 7, 2020, 12:10 PM The qualities of a king (christian monarch to be precise) have to do with the entire family, not the king himself. And great kings are not what we’re looking for. That’s a via-positiva. We’re looking for constitutional monarchs that handle exceptions and prevent usurpation of power, not those who govern.…

  • What is KOTH?

    —“What is KOTH?”— How I teach. King Of The Hill Game. It’s debate where I state something by taking some position or other that will illustrate a principle or investigate some angle on it. See: https://naturallawinstitute.com/2018/10/21/answering-criticisms/

  • Pay People to Accelerate the Big Sort at The Cost of The State, Academy, Finance, Entertainment Industries

    Feb 7, 2020, 2:56 PM I (we) hold the position that (a) we should be pursuing rights to self determination, and our way of life, and that requires arms just as others require faith. (b) We are tolerant of those that conform to our traditional group strategy, and are inclusive within that limit, but that…

  • They Don’t Want Our Rule

    Feb 7, 2020, 7:46 PM They want proximity to us but they don’t want our rule. Well, great, we don’t want to rule them, but we won’t tolerate their rule either.

  • Anglo Common “Adversarial” Law Persisted for A Reason

    Feb 7, 2020, 9:15 PM —“Depending on the legal market and parties involved, the adversarial nature of law can actually be quite constructive. You come to learn quickly who the honest but zealous advocates are, as opposed to the slimy, deceitful guys trying to hide evidence, defend absurd positions, etc. Especially in small markets, the…

  • You Can’t Stop Noticing

    Feb 7, 2020, 9:22 PM —“I must give you credit, because once you notice the relatively subtle methods of deceit through framing, etc., you can’t stop noticing, and it can be tremendously valuable. Even in legal brief-writing. “Your Honor, notice how they attempted to deceive you by….” … People are too accustomed to thinking of…

  • Vets

    Feb 7, 2020, 10:00 PM There are a lot of vets with issues – maybe most of them. They need organization and purpose but the problem with the current military is that they have been put to imperial rather than national use, forced to fight 4gw in hostile territory, where everyone is some degree of…

  • Via-Negativa Moral Rules (Prohibitions) Are Empirical

    Feb 7, 2020, 10:43 PM Well via-negativa moral rules (prohibitions) are empirical and there is only one: reciprocity within the limits of proportionality. Like rational choice within the limits of rationality. Like truthfulness within the limits of testifiability. That’s just obvious from a study of the history of law across every civilization. What satisfies reciprocity…

  • Science Has Made Anything Other than Deism Impossible

    Feb 8, 2020, 9:05 AM It’s because science has made anything other than deism impossible for rational people, the bible and church dogma unbelievable, and the narratives that attempt to teach lessons irrelevant, absurd, or quaint – precisely because there is only one lesson. That’s before we get to the clergy being unworthy of respect,…

  • Testimony

    Feb 8, 2020, 9:39 AM —“Lots of pro-boogaloo folks and others are looking for solutions. It starts with being pro-second Amendment. Then they identify the enemy.. Then they start looking for Solutions. Only Propertarianism actually offers solutions. For the price that is going to be paid for a chance to fix this wreck, it had…

  • “THE OVERTON WINDOW IS TAKING ABUSE”

    Feb 8, 2020, 9:42 AM by Brandon Hayes Curt: The Overton window is taking abuse. We push on it from the inside so it expands. There are also people on both fringes pulling the edges of discourse from the outside. We’re breaking the window frame; and we ought to. Discourse is all acceptable; it’s certain…

  • . . .

    Feb 8, 2020, 9:47 AM —“Homogeny is closer to equality, but absolute equality only exists as entropy(devolution). What we want is an equilibrium where benefits of division of labor most outweigh the costs of diverging interests.”—Martin Št?pán (This is an example why I spent years at this task. To make new leadership for a new…

  • Evidence of His Hand, and His Language, Has Been Decoded by Scientists

    Feb 8, 2020, 1:15 PM God, if there is a god, evidence of his hand, and his language, has been decoded by scientists. He writes in the language of the physical laws of the natural universe, and the natural law of man, in a very small set of equations(sentences) that like all languages consists of…

  • Are the Logics Falsificationary or Justificationary in Precedence?

    Feb 8, 2020, 1:18 PM Given the Human logical facility Given the Human grammatical facility Given the Logics of free association(justification), the logics of language (internal consistency – inference), and operational logic (existential possibility – demonstrated); Given possibilities for decidability of nonsensical, undecidable, sufficient for action, truth candidate, tautology, falsehood.

  • Eliminating the Verb to Be (copula). Is It Required?

    Feb 8, 2020, 6:54 PM —“Is failure to use ePrime in P an error? Why/not?”—Jonathan Besler Brandon Hayes: No; you can speak truthfully without speaking operationally. Curt Doolittle: Also. You can falsify another’s speech by translating it to operational prose. Again, like many things, once you learn the form you will identify when people are…

  • Similar Ideas

    Feb 9, 2020, 10:23 AM —“Hi Curt, have you read, “Speed & Politics” by Paul Virilio?”—Jame B No, because I find continental philosophical work sophomoric. But you will find the same argument in my work’s restructuring of economics as time, and therefore all we do is increase the rate of production in time through increasing…

  • The Human Capacity to Create Categories

    Feb 9, 2020, 11:20 AM Andrew M Gilmour Try this: The human capacity to create categories by abstraction begins with detachment from, and personification of, the inner (imaginary) and outer(existential) experiences(‘worlds’). Animists develop river spirits and thunder gods using this natural application of human cognitive ability. We also anthropomorphize [enumerate the inner states here] (inner…

  • Re: Jordan Peterson’s Condition

    Feb 9, 2020, 12:08 PM I’m equally vulnerable to these drugs which is why I don’t touch them. I’ve had four major surgery episodes in my life that required anesthesia, one for eleven hours. The withdrawal from the anesthesia is intolerable to the point at which you almost want to die in order for it…

  • Where Did It Start?

    Feb 9, 2020, 6:20 PM WHERE DID IT START? —“What part of the world did the gene for “higher IQ” start, and why?”— INTERESTING QUESTION 1) We seem to have been continuously evolving intelligence for a long time. It’s very difficult to make a case for intelligence developing in other than africa. It’s easy to…
