    May 26, 2020, 11:52 PM PROPERTARIANISM SITE UPDATED IN FULL FOR CURT DOOLITTLE’S POSTS I’ve used this past week of having a cold to update the site.

  • Six Points that Explain Our Differences

    May 27, 2020, 11:55 AM (worth repeating) I see everything: 1 – In context of acquisition. 2 – I understand how limited our agency (free will). 3 – I understand that the bias in our cognition has only three axis of variation, of which the physical differences in brain structure and chemical signaling between the…

  • On King of the Hill Games

    On Curt’s Method of Teaching – Using “King of the Hill Games” “King of The Hill Games – Competition – Are the Optimum Means of Teaching Men. Everything I Do Is In The Context of An Experiment Run As A King of The Hill Game.” King of The Hill Game: Teaching Men My Version of…

  • Is the State Moral?

    Oct 1, 2019, 10:43 AM —“Dear mr Doolittle, How can the state, based on extortion and theft, be reciprocal? Real question. Not some goofy troll. Kind regards”— Sietze Bosman @fryskefilosoof The state enforces order (cooperation) sufficient to deny competitors access to the territory, resources, people, their production, and networks of productivity and trade. And to…

  • Q: How Can Violence Be Reciprocal (moral)?

    Oct 1, 2019, 11:38 AM —“How can violence be reciprocal?”—Sietze Bosman @fryskefilosoof Returning violence is and act of reciprocity. Forcing Restitution and if necessary punishment (disincentive for repetition), restores reciprocity. Preemptive violence insures against ir-reciprocity. COUNSEL: Always use a series of at least 3 to 5 when analyzing propositions. Using series – which is what…

  • Counsel: Philosophy vs Sophism

    Oct 1, 2019, 11:55 AM Given any term, always use a series of at least 3 to 5 when analyzing propositions. I prefer 8 to 12 whenever I can get them, and english because it has so vast a vocabulary of working, governing, intellectual, logical, and scientific origins is extremely useful for creating constellations of…

  • Economic Advice and The Public

    Oct 1, 2019, 1:08 PM Economics has been a cudgel for justifying a moral bias, not a science to which we must conform our moral intuitions. Libertarians are largely advocating free riding on the commons just as much as socialist advocate free riding upon the private sector. No economic proposition is decidable by either libertarian…

  • The Golden Rule Explained

    Oct 2, 2019, 3:41 PM by Luke Weinhagen Those of us living in high trust societies recognize the importance of The Golden Rule. We understand its value and the benefits we derive from it. It is one of the first formal lessons in social interaction we teach our children. But when you stop there at…

  • The Rules

    Oct 2, 2019, 5:27 PM Via Positiva: ……. The Golden Rule. Do unto others as you would have done unto you Via Negativa: ….. The Silver Rule. Do not unto others as you would not have done unto you. Via Empathia : …….The Copper Rule Do not unto others as they would not have done…

  • Every Man a Common Man

    Oct 3, 2019, 7:17 AM By: Bill Joslin, via Brandon Hayes (CD: core) A model for this could be described as concentric rings of influence, centering on the individual and radiating out into the commons based on which domain one acts as judge-of-last-resort. Am I judge-of-last-resort for my mind (clarity of intention) Am I judge-of-last-resort…

  • Mercy is a luxury good

    “Mercy is a luxury good. Kindness is an unlimited resource.”

  • As Deluded as Marx but With Some Economic Literacy Thrown in The Mix to Dazzle and Confuse People.

    Oct 5, 2019, 11:04 AM By: Daniel Jordan via Michael Hayes I think it’s difficult for some people to get their brain out of a certain loop. Once someone destroys the illusion that the wealthy are not by necessity rich due to exploitation of the poor because the pie isn’t fixed (only the past is…

  • . . .

    Oct 5, 2019, 11:04 AM —“Libertarians generally get economic issues, but they do not have a consistent view of the use of force. I suppose they are perfectly consistent if they are genuine ancaps, but really very few of them are, and that kind of Rothbardian view of humanity is pure fantasy, just as deluded…

  • That Will Evolve Us Into the Mankind We Wish We Had

    Oct 5, 2019, 11:06 AM —I designed a science, logic, law, and government for the mankind we have not the mankind we wish we had – but that will evolve us into the mankind we wish we had.– Curt Doolittle

  • Capital is the rabbit strategy in nearly every aspect.

    Oct 5, 2019, 11:09 AM GENIUS. CHURCHILL ON CAPITAL —“Capital is the rabbit strategy in nearly every aspect. Machines need quantity over quality — and it is not even close. Quality to create the machine, quantity to move the machine’s product.”– Michael Churchill (genius)

  • Republic Existed to Create the Perfect Structure

    Oct 5, 2019, 12:10 PM —“The Founding Fathers had a similar goal [to Doolittle]. They believed a republic existed to create the perfect structure where a man could pursue virtue, or was free to pursue virtue, explicitly rejecting any hedonistic concepts of “freedom”. They did not consider any form of democracy fit for non-virtuous men…

    Oct 5, 2019, 12:52 PM —“The Fed can do whatever it wants. It literally has a football field full of printing presses in the basement. If they want to re-steepen the yield curve, they can do it tomorrow. They just don’t want to change the paradigm. Don’t want to rock the boat. Change will creep…

  • . . .

    Oct 5, 2019, 7:23 PM As far as I know the argument over the militia was only whether we be trained or not, and the debate as one of cost not existence. The result of which was that being armed with practice one or twice a year was enough – if affordable. It was never…

  • Anti-Statism. Is that Correct? I Don”t Think So.

    Oct 6, 2019, 7:23 AM Hmmm … This is an angle I haven’t worked on enough, which is disambiguating the state (assets and bureaucracy), government (leadership), authority (rule of law and market polity vs authority and directed polity). Because it’s not whether we have a state or government or authority but whether we have rule…

  • Domestication of Warfare Is Over. the War of All Against All Has Returned

    Oct 6, 2019, 9:55 AM When William Wallace defeated the english at Sterling Bridge, it was because the english assumed the Scotts would wait until they crossed and stood formation – as was custom – before the fight. Instead, Wallace waited until a defeatable number of the english crossed the bridge and then massacred them.…

    Oct 6, 2019, 11:33 AM —“If the Spanish Civil War was the “dress rehearsal for WWII,” the Syrian Civil War is the dress rehearsal for the Second American Civil War. Multiple factions, some with overlapping interests cooperating with one another, and the government is just one of the many factions.”—Alex Hill

  • Ending Leftism Is a Matter of Ending Parasitism by Law

    Oct 6, 2019, 5:30 PM Of the choices we could make to end the current politio-demographic conflict turning into civil war includes: (a) multi-ethnicity (genetic homogeneity, (b) multi-culturalism (cultural homogeneity), (c) democratic process (universal access to political power), (d) or political ideology (Dysgenic or Eugenic), the most obvious choice is to end leftism as a…

  • And Ending Leftism Is a Matter of Ending Parasitism by Law.

  • Pay Them No Mind.

    Oct 6, 2019, 5:57 PM Europe is provincial, familial, and hierarchical, whereas Americans are imperial meritocratic and individual. We are both half right.

  • We Are Still Waiting for A Substantive Criticism of Propertarianism and … We Never Get One.

    Oct 7, 2019, 9:35 AM Here is another straw man (or what I call ’empty hat’). —“I am not sure what you want them to criticize. What has propertarianism accomplished? Where has it been applied in a meaningful way that can be measured? Which governments have based their foundational documents and legal systems on P?…
