Year: 2020

Mar 27, 2020, 4:38 PM —“UPB It’s built on non-contradiction. Making it’s epistemology rationalism; thereby ignoring: natural law, game theory, prisoner’s dilemma, etc.”—Andrew M Gilmour —“UPB is Kantianism (Hoppeanism) for fever-level IQs. It is the language of an adolescent just learning to venture beyond his mother’s purview. This has been his project from the outset…

A return to commodity money can’t be done. It privileges investors at the expense of ordinary people, and managing the supply of money is too valuable for an economy. No economy can compete without it. And there are other vehicles for storing capital – including commodity money, real estate, commodities (how oil functions today). Commodity…

Mar 28, 2020, 1:46 PM (more nitwit kantians) SCIENCE Science is just the application of law to the market for knowledge. Norms for the limit of normative behavior. Law for the limit of criminal behavior. Tradition for the intergenerational transfer of science, norms, and laws. KNOWING A paradigm of related ideas that permit one to…

Mar 28, 2020, 2:32 PM (in response to hate from a universalist libertarian) —“Doolittle needs to come up with his own descriptor. By his own admission, Propertarianism no longer fits. He long ago abandoned any propertarian roots he may have had, denying any propositional aspects of human culture in favor of racial collectivism. A ludicrous…

RE: Curt Doolittle’s recipe for civilization – JF Gariépy TPS #714 youtube.com I didn’t say there is an end to history or to law. I wasn’t searching for an idea. I’m claiming that european ancestral law is the reason for the unique success of western civlization. And that continuing the anglo tradition, we must periodically…

Mar 29, 2020, 11:08 AM —“It’s amazing how few people have really internalised what is coming in the next month. Especially in the US. Not the human damage or the economic damage that is coming.”– Iron Economist — “I’m pretty terrified but I think people many people are in a state of hopeful denial”-JayMan @JayMan471…

Mar 29, 2020, 11:30 AM —“Not sure why [censored] JFG, would bring up Manhattan distance something which he clearly doesn’t understand. You were correct in – and multiple times caught him cascading off to some absurdity, as he did against M.”—Hans Hermeme Hoppe @LLaddon I like JFG for many personal reasons, but he is an…

Mar 29, 2020, 11:32 AM Ok. So using civilizational development, demographic, generational, technological, and business cycles I’ve been within a month or two of every major correction (opportunity exhaustion) since I started working (except china). Market timing is impossible. But Antifragility is NOT.

Denied Lifesaving Care Under These Plans as Coronavirus Spreads — ProPublica propublica.org —“Alabama’s disaster preparedness plan says that “persons with severe mental retardation, advanced dementia or severe traumatic brain injury may be poor candidates for ventilator support.” https://propub.li/2JihhRY”— —“This is eugenics.”—Jeet Heer @HeerJeet You say that like it’s a bad thing rather than the correct…

Mar 29, 2020, 11:38 AM —“DHS Adds Workers for Gunmakers, Gun Retailers, and Shooting Ranges to “Essential Critical Infrastructure” List”— —“Seems ‘they’ have a plan, otherwise I would expect the opposite of this from Washington.”—@Achtttung It’s just as important for first responders as it is for citizens. And this is a reaction to some cities…

Mar 29, 2020, 11:44 AM —“…JFG claimed that morality is subjective entirely…”— Well, I corrected him. Personal moral bias is subjective. We compete with others in a market of moral biases. We converge to reciprocity within our local geographic, demographic, familial, social, economic, and political organizations, and we absolutely converge on reciprocity in international affairs…

Mar 29, 2020, 11:53 AM —“NYT: The U.S. Tried to Build a New Fleet of Ventilators. The Mission Failed…. As the coronavirus spreads, the collapse of the project helps explain America’s acute shortage.”—@sarahkliff   —“NEW: Read about the cheaper, more durable ventilator that never was. It’s a tale about just what happens when critical public-health…

Mar 29, 2020, 12:06 PM —“So what’s next? Will secession and decentralization take root as the wave of the political future? Or are we facing even further entrenchment of the centralized state authoritarian paradigm?”— Josh Deel It depends if you me and 1M other men make the choice. I’m going to make the choice. Will…

Mar 29, 2020, 12:34 PM —“Boomers hate crypto for some reason even though crypto still seems more real than printing infinity money.”—Avin Welleci   Fiat Currency or “Infinity” money (share-in-economy money) is a competitive necessity. We can’t survive in a world economy without it. And we certainly can’t insure one another against disasters without it.…

Mar 29, 2020, 3:41 PM Is this whole edifice as simple as women are biologically wired, totally unconsciously, for ‘men will handle it’ or ‘make men handle it’ just like they are wired for caring about babies? (sht testing)

Mar 29, 2020, 5:24 PM I mean you have ‘act in imitation of jesus’ that’s as simple as it gets. You have the silver rule, and the golden rule second. You have reciprocity within the limits of proportionality third. After that you’re into supply and demand curves, and sorry, there is no dummies version.

Mar 29, 2020, 5:32 PM “SO BASICALLY, THAT’S WHY WE LIVE IN A WORLD OF COOPERATION, TRADE, AND WAR” by Scott Strong So basically all of these schools of thought and socioeconomic systems fail because they fail to take into account the sober reality of humankind’s innate animal selfishness and super-predatory nature, AND that individual…

Mar 30, 2020, 8:38 PM —“Curt. So what does your utopia look like? And upon what moral axiom is it constructed? The materialized Doolittle system, not the P methodology of coexistence.”—Gideon Green I don’t do utopia. I do the incremental improvement of the group strategy of the european peoples: sovereignty, reciprocity tested by the natural…

Mar 31, 2020, 1:50 PM propertarianism.com MY WORK ON CHRISTIANITY I work under the principle that the laws of nature, the natural law of man, and the evolutionary necessity of transcendence are the same whether we state them in Theological, Philosophical, and Scientific language. So whether you intuit, think, and speak in the Christian, Deist,…

Mar 31, 2020, 2:38 PM by Daniel (or Dan) McCoy Georges Dumézil was a twentieth-century comparative mythologist like Joseph Campbell or Carl Jung. Dumézil’s primary contribution to Indo-European studies was his theory of “trifunctionalism,” the idea that a particular arrangement of three societal “functions” lay at the heart of Indo-European life and thought. This arrangement…

Mar 31, 2020, 3:47 PM —“Axioms”, like “First principles”, are a common property. You can not define them without the concept “we”. It is a contradiction to build an ideology that denies commons on a foundation of commons. This foundation is what libertarianism scavenges from ideologies that invest in and defend those properties.”—by Luke Weinhagen

Mar 31, 2020, 10:40 PM First, there is very little federal government left. It consists almost exclusively of the military and treasury plus the insurer function of the treasury. The states are more like european states except that they share a military. (a) Monarchs are superior to presidents and prime ministers, prime ministers are superior…

Apr 1, 2020, 12:45 PM —“As a successful entrepreneur would you mind sharing some career advice with me?

Apr 1, 2020, 1:19 PM (probably very important) —“Also do you have any writings you could point me to on your views on big business’ role in society? Namely, I do see cultural marxism and other factors at play throughout university and entertainment, but the pressures from big biz for cheap labor, for mass immigration…

EVERY MAN A STUDENT A TEACHER, FATHER A SON, A SHERIFF A JUDGE, A SOLDIER A WARRIOR, A MAN TRANSCENDENT —“Damn you’re good lol. FYI I had a twitter spat with you a few years ago when I was more of a continental philosophy type. Needless to say upon reflection and reading more of your…
