Nov 20, 2019, 11:50 AM by Don Miguel A major part of Darwin’s book is this: 1) Any trait that does not vary in a current population will also not vary among its past ancestors nor its close relations. 2) Conversely, any trait by which an existing creature differs from a near relative or its…

Nov 20, 2019, 4:40 PM THE CURSE OF INSTITUTIONALIZED PARADIGMS It seems strange to tell someone that the earth is round, or that the stars are not pricks in the fabric of the sky, or most of all that velocity through space significantly alters the rate of change we call time. The fact that we…

Nov 21, 2019, 8:54 AM We evolved technology(magic) and found ourselves with dominion over man (others) and nature (gods), so our natural religion is and always was philosophy(dominion over mind), with sacrifice and ritual (debt payment) to gods (archetypal forces) our ‘literature’. The problem we faced is that the church – like judaism and islam…

Nov 21, 2019, 11:53 AM —“An elected monarch does work if that person has strong personality & support. One example from the past is Jan Sobieski, King of the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth.”—Stephen Stobinski The Propertarian Institute I think that it’s a good idea to have a large and extended family to choose from, and for…

Nov 21, 2019, 11:57 AM Better to think of monarchies as intergenerational custodians. It is clearly better to have intergenerational families make profits or loss from rule (arts and limits) and a rotating middle class for governance (commons). Conflating rule and governance has been one of our three largest errors: 1) conflating rule and governance…

Nov 21, 2019, 2:37 PM I’ve been struggling with the knowledge that as soon as I publish i’m going to end up in a worse position than Macdonald and Duchesne, because I’m proposing solutions. So talking it over with a friend today (my “Therapist”) and helped me realize that my defense is pretty easy: 1)…

Nov 22, 2019, 8:38 AM by Stephen Phillips (this is a masculine christian speaking of the natural law in christian prose) Hello Curt, I understand what you’re driving at here. I’m a Christian, member of a Calvinist church. I am trying to convince people around me of the same things you were mentioning here. The…

Nov 22, 2019, 9:05 AM CHRISTIANITY “Our religion is assuredly the most ridiculous, the most absurd and the most bloody religion which has ever infected this world. Your Majesty will do the human race an eternal service by extirpating this infamous superstition, I do not say among the rabble, who are not worthy of being…

Nov 24, 2019, 11:41 AM (important) (read this) —”is there any smaller sphere in which you think psychoanalysis is an appropriate method or inquiry? (ie, hopefully the one it is intended for – personal therapy rather than public argumentation).”— Gerard I think that it is always better to use this series: Means: Personality traits and…

Nov 24, 2019, 2:15 PM Read chapter 1 “The Axial Peoples” from The Great Transformation (2006) by Karen Armstrong. If you don’t know the foundations – you don’t know anything. Then you will understand the strong and material european gods and the weak and etherial eastern gods. Our Link: https://mega.nz/#!L34mmY7D!PTxst2uDEnAusH0zYWxicVOYiCFQBJGju2h7UdHc4U0

Nov 25, 2019, 7:51 AM We evolved technology (magic, pseudoscientific), and not astrology(supernatural) and found ourselves with dominion over man (others) and nature (gods), so our natural religion is and always was philosophy(choics is ours to make), with sacrifice and ritual (debt payment) to gods (archetypal forces) as our ‘literature’. The problem we faced is…

Nov 25, 2019, 9:21 AM Told you so. —“So has the fact that, whenever women enter a field or profession, that field or profession will start going downhill in terms of both prestige and income.”— Van Creveld Martin also predicts (as do I) the re-separation of genders in education.

It’s flawless.) by James Krieger Rothbard & Mises extend Mengerian-subjectivism to escape liability (symmetric risk transfer) & consume commons, restricting legal (via negativa) intervention against…

Nov 30, 2019, 2:56 PM —“In the west it’s ” it’s not whether you win or lose it’s how you play the game”. In the East ” it’s not how you play the game it’s whether you win or lose”.”—George McJule

Dec 1, 2019, 8:51 AM At present, aside from testimony and reciprocity I think I understand this problem (mathematical foundations) better than anyone else, for reasons I’m still … exasperated by. Math is a language. It consists of one dimension: positional names. Positional names consist of one constant relation: position (ordinality). Names are unique. Positional…

Dec 1, 2019, 8:55 AM What’s the difference between the hunt and resulting feast, throwing a piece of meat on the fire to thank nature for her bounty, dancing around a fire that night to tell the story with moral heroic or tragic framing, with everyone drumming, chanting, singing, or reciting along – and religion?…

Dec 1, 2019, 9:17 AM What would happen if we prohibited interruption advertising. in other words, the only advertising possible would be destination. Wouldn’t every company create its own internet channel? Wouldn’t a much smaller number of media companies sell content people wanted rather than advertisers wanted? Why wouldn’t that be better than today?

Dec 1, 2019, 10:43 AM CONSERVATISM UNDERSTOOD (worth repeating) A conservative questions the overestimation of reason, and above all questions consensus. Conservatism is familial, stoic, pragmatic, and empirical. In other words risk averse to capital. As a means of questioning, a conservative requires reciprocity (tort): american < british < anglo saxon < germanic < european…

Dec 2, 2019, 3:41 PM —Our brain works sort of the opposite of how you’d think: it’s always running, always forecasts everything, in a vast competition for attention, what’s most coherent and rewarding gets attention. The brain never stops, ever. We disconnect from it to daydream, relax, rest, or sleep. It never, ever, ever, stops.—…

Dec 2, 2019, 4:34 PM (Again: Libertine, Anarchist, Libertarian Thought Fails) By: Alain Dwight (via Brandon Hayes) Rules without rulers is impossible. Asserting an active noun or verb (rule) without an actor putting it in play (rulers) is a form of deception. For a sentence to be operationally complete it has to include the actor,…

Dec 2, 2019, 4:39 PM Philosophers are born I think. But they still must find a team to play on. Look at the Damned P-leadershp now. These guys are scaring me. It’s glorious.

Dec 7, 2019, 9:06 AM The only reason I didn’t sue the Clinton Foundation for the $2M they stole from my company, was because Microsoft wouldn’t let me. Why?
