What’s the Difference Beween Yarvin’s Nrx and Propertarianism?
Oct 10, 2019, 10:37 PM (notes from an interview) 1) WHAT IS PROPERTARIANISM We tend to think in terms of ideological “-isms” which are loose proposals for political orders. Propertarianism is on the scale of aristotelianism, empiricism and the empirical revolution, science and the scientific revolution, in that it’s a system of measurement for the…
Advice to Aspies(masculine Minds) Wanting to Expand Social Circles: Treat People Like Sunshine
Oct 11, 2019, 10:30 AM (or “Advice to Aspies on how to go through life without continually failing the Turing test.” – Shannon Constantine ) There aren’t enough of ‘us’ to build a society. We are outliers. Society is built for ‘them’. They feel more than we do. They sense more than we do. They…
EMJ / Doolittle
Oct 11, 2019, 10:51 AM by Michael Churchill Actually having Curt and EMJ debate wouldn’t be helpful at all. EMJ is great for who he is and what he does. Fabulous, even. Heroic. A great man. Role model. But he is operating in a religious paradigm. Curt is operating in a scientific paradigm. Having a…
No More Ancap Lies
Oct 11, 2019, 11:31 AM —“First AnCaps are not free riders because AnCaps are not demanding or relying on any resources created by others. You say that it is some kind of fairy-tale village on the frontier which is protected by the federal cavalry when in trouble, but that is Y…”— Gunther Schadow ERROR #1…
Why Is Debating Against P so Unpleasant?
Oct 11, 2019, 11:58 AM Listening to EMJ debate Dutton and Recognizing the profound difference between Argument and Error, vs Prosecution and Lying. So the reason it’s so painful for others to argue with us, is that if you use operational terms you can’t testify to something you claim you can, then you’re lying or…
Lunatics, Addicts, and Liars All Show Their Colors Eventually
Oct 11, 2019, 1:40 PM —” About the Error #1, I submit the following: America itself with those 40 million people with 400 million guns are proving that it is possible. THEY, not the US Military, are protecting the homeland from boots-on-the-ground invasion. I am for saving the Republic not overthrowing it. Indeed the starting…
“we Continually Advise Against Taking Individual Action for A Reason”
Oct 11, 2019, 4:18 PM by Stephen Thomas Why do people assume any of us are going on a k— spree? We do the opposite! So yeah, I get it… a civil war is “scary”.. You know what else is “scary”? Another Dark Age! Another 500 or more years of ignorance and regression. With mankind…
The Law Creates Trust, and We Create Observance of It
Oct 11, 2019, 4:20 PM by Luke Weinhagen “Every man a Sheriff” In a high trust group this is not a request, nor a demand, it is a description. That is the nuance I’d like to add – that it is our individual willingness to apply the law, and to self-enforce, that is the difference…

What Honest Anarchists Are Grasping For: Rule of Law
Oct 11, 2019, 9:50 PM Alain Dwight Anarchy is a rhetorical illusion, it doesn’t exist in reality. There is no rule without rulers, there are no active nouns (rules) without actors implementing them (rulers). Every method of interaction has rules that are set and enforced by rulers. We want rule of law (suppressing free-riding of…
My Position on Christianity
Oct 12, 2019, 11:12 AM (core)(important) To John’s explanation, I’ll add this: 1. SUPPRESSION OF FALSEHOOD AND ITS CONSEQUENCES – My work has a nearly single minded objective, and that ending lying in public speech. So, I’m not complaining about just christianity, but the falsehoods by which the abrahamic religions are constructed, the means of…
The Meaning of All Men Are Created Equal
Oct 12, 2019, 11:23 AM ”…Created equal …” is an incomplete sentence. In P this would have to be a complete sentence. “…. are created by nature, equal before the laws of nature and the natural law of reciprocity.” It’s just poetic. And they use property or tort rather than reciprocity. ” … associated …”…
Some Form of Lying Is Almost Always Cowardice
Oct 12, 2019, 11:25 AM “The reason people are engaging in some form of lying is almost always cowardice.”- Curt Doolittle Everyone who has one of their cherished ideas challenged, especially if they’ve invested a lot in it, feels fear of being wrong (pride hurt, having to admit weakness & not “knowing it all”). After…
The Declaration of Independence, Equality Clause
Oct 12, 2019, 1:42 PM A look into the thoughts of Thomas Jefferson By JWarren Prescott The declaration of independence’ equality clause refers to the equality of self-evident, unalienable (natural) rights among people – it does not mean anything beyond that. Natural rights of namely, Life, Liberty and Property. (and those rights derived from these…
The Difference Between Error and Fraud
Oct 12, 2019, 1:45 PM —“The difference between error and fraud is that an error implies good intentions, and people want to trade in their good intentions for a discount on the costs they themselves pay for the results of their error.”—Rustle More
Ex-Propertarians Always Sound Like Jilted Ex-Girlfriends
Oct 12, 2019, 1:50 PM by Predmetsky Rosenborg Ex-Propertarians always sound like jilted ex-girlfriends: –“and that non-operationalizable “abrahamism” word”– Operationalizing abrahamism is easy…high verbal IQ (median about 129) combined with low visual-spatial (there goes the calculating for physical costs and forces…) care-harm fundamentalism produced by high openness to experience (often correlated with high schizotypy) and…
Q: “… Unions?”
Oct 12, 2019, 5:20 PM The original purpose of unions was to protect the underclasses. The communists worked thru the labor unions. They used unions to drive class warfare. Unions were the largest contributors to the democratic party. Unions drove the democratic party into socialism and communism under marxism like identity politics under postmodernism. The…
Disambiguating Equality
Oct 12, 2019, 5:25 PM by Bill Joslin “Equality” is a term that’s been repeatedly … gang-r@ped. CONTEXT ONE: BOOLEAN ASSESSMENT OF CATEGORICAL MEMBERSHIP. All players on the ice exist equally as “HOCKEY PLAYERS” bound by the same rules (membership). However, not all hockey players play hockey equally (qualitative assessment). CONTEXT TWO: ISONOMY State application…
The Inquisition, the Church, in Context.
Oct 12, 2019, 7:46 PM The purpose of the inquisition was: … 1) to suppress factions (heresy) that would have weakened the church’s income (they were crooks), their political power, and the church’s ambition to take over as the central government of Europe … 2) to standardize punishment given the wide variety of punishments coming…
You Must Begin with A High Trust Polity
Oct 12, 2019, 7:48 PM by Bill Joslin I would take the discussion of Trust a step further. Law and contract eliminate the NEED for trust. However, law and contract that results in this, can only emerge out of a polity that has established high trust in their informal institutions. (which is why, if you…
King of The Hill Games Expose the Enemy’s Technique
Oct 12, 2019, 7:51 PM —“The most surprising thing Curt Doolittle’s king of the hill games revealed to me (and there’s been a lot of surprising things) was that Christians are just as infuriating to argue with as leftists. Say one honest unflattering thing about Christianity and they come flying out of the woodwork to…
The Subversiveness of The Lie of Equality
Oct 12, 2019, 8:09 PM by Bill Joslin (See what happens when we get bill in the game too???) Equivocation of equality as categorical membership with qualitative assessment ( that being the notion that all are equally valuable), results in an obscurity of ingroup distinction i.e. leads to the notion of open borders and franchise…
Guilds and Managerial Class?
Oct 12, 2019, 8:12 PM by Bill Joslin Guilds acted as a counter balance to managerial classes. A manager didn’t obtain trade or craft specific knowledge. When asking a craftsman “how long for this?” or “how much material for that?”,the manager stood at the mercy of the craftsman’s knowledge. The manager had no way of…
More on Guilds
Oct 12, 2019, 8:18 PM Guilds limited access, all but eliminated competition and preserved quality, which prevented optimum market pricing in exchange for optimum benefit to workers – because transport costs for goods were higher than local premium prices. So it’s more of an question of eliminating labor arbitrage. Now, other issues were important in…
We Aren’t Enemies, Not in The Least, United by Natural Law
Oct 12, 2019, 8:32 PM —“No, neither of us advocates forcing people to believe anything. All we demand is that due diligence against error, bias and deceit be made in all speech to public (commercial, academic, political etc.). All this means for Christians is to either keep their faith a private matter or, if they…
