Why Economists Fail to Propose Successful Solutions
Jan 15, 2020, 3:23 PM Most economists propose nonsense solutions that mean more taxes without changing the structure of the economy. My proposition is pretty simple and has profound consequences. Stop all lying, baiting into hazard, free riding and parasitism upon the people, and capture those proceeds in the production of PHYSICAL commons. THAT IS…
The 20 Th Century Economies in Context – and How to Fix Them with Propertarianism
Jan 15, 2020, 3:42 PM You know, they called what we do today “Jewish economics” in the pre-war period because it favored investors at the expense of the middle classes (which in those days just meant ‘families’). Keynes was reading MARX, and just removed all references from his book (the general theory) before publishing. Keynes…

Jan 15, 2020, 5:01 PM —“Jack Sandusky What’s your take on what just happened at the Kremlin?”— Putin is (as we should also) removing a clause from the constitution that puts international law above the russian constitution. We have the same vulnerability in our constitution in that it is possible for a treaty to override…
No, Nothing Is Evenly Distributed – Ever
Jan 16, 2020, 3:55 PM No, talent is not evenly distributed – just the opposite. No, intelligence is not evenly distributed – just the opposite. No, personality traits are not evenly distributed – just the opposite. Because you are, everyone you know is, and everyone past resent and future, is 80% the product of genes,…

That’s Not Rule of Law, and One Man Is Not a Movement
Jan 17, 2020, 9:01 AM —“Trump is a cancer, but it’s totally operable cancer. Remove him under the Constitution and uphold the rule of law. Serve a purpose bigger than yourselves.”— Some Twitter Idiot You’re wrong of course: a useful idiot for purveyors of the Alinsky method of personalizing political movements. Trump is just a…

The Ten Commandments vs European Traditional Law Demonstrate the Abrahamic Method of Deceit.
Jan 17, 2020, 10:25 AM Notice that the ten commandments say one may not steal. It does not say one may not free-ride, externalize costs, or steal. But european traditional law is complete not ‘convenient’: it says one may not free ride, externalize, or steal. Notice that the ten commandments say one may not bear…
Three Questions on Rule of Law – and Governing
Jan 17, 2020, 2:06 PM by Caleb Mimnaugh —” Rule of law rather than rule by man… man, even the aesthetics of those words are beautiful. 3 clarifications – if you have the time. 1. Do you think the authorising/legitimising process of rulers (e.g an election, the divine right of kings) is an unnecessary function…
MEN…
Jan 17, 2020, 2:07 PM Don’t be the idiot in the meeting ‘reminding’ others of the obvious risks – it means you’re a coward and think in cowardly terms, and offer advice as pretense of courage. Instead, be the person looking for, seizing, and assisting on the seizure of opportunities to exploit. We need brave…
Relationships Are Just Another Organization that Adapt to Circumstances
Jan 17, 2020, 2:23 PM —“Curt: I’m reading the book Sex at Dawn of your library. So which is our natural form of mating: monogamy or polygamy? What type of mating we ( europeans) should aspire?”— AFAIK, pairing off via serial monogamy with discreet cheating that doesn’t insult the other party is the sort of…
The Value Neutral Expression of The Female and Male Brains
Jan 18, 2020, 8:06 AM We can just as easily categorize the female brain and the male brain instead as breadth(experience, children)-first vs depth(time, environment)-first. When the paradigm you use is the high cost of brains, and high returns on brains, neural economy; division of reproductive, productive, and cognitive labor; economics of (returns on) cooperation;…
Pagans Had Monogamy and Rules to Enforce It Before Abrahamism Came Along
Jan 18, 2020, 8:20 AM MONOGAMY by Erik Lukovsky Pagans had monogamy and rules to enforce it before Abrahamism came along Monotheism popularized those rules All people have polygamous and monogamous inclinations(genes), usually one more so than the other Monogamy existed(and still can exist) as a form of exchange, in which women offer sexual access…
We Win When They Fire The First Shot
Jan 18, 2020, 10:00 AM You know what I learned in Ukraine that applies? The minute they fire on you they lose – and the whole american empire and it’s entire world ‘brand’ and influence collapses. You want them to fire on you. You just want to minimize losses even if you generate heroes whose…
“Fed” like “Supremacist” and “Racist” is a Compliment.

Mathiness
Jan 19, 2020, 7:56 AM Sorry all. Mathiness, and mathematical fiction in physics is definitely a problem, and attention whoring among mathematical physicists by selling those fictions is ridiculous. But this is because they have no classical model (geometric) to explain their probabilism at the subatomic level. Even the most mathy idea – string theory…
Nitwits from The Critique Gallery
Jan 19, 2020, 8:30 AM —“Yet, you believe the pseudoscientific cherry picking by “experts” like Judith curry, Tim ball, Richard lindzen etc on the topic of climate change, so much for argument from authority. Just because you dont comprehend the math behind probablistic models used in quantum models, doesn’t mean they are invalid”—Rash Ak (a)…
Human Capital
Jan 19, 2020, 10:05 AM In that branch of economics called Political Economy, Human capital consists of the size of the population, their age distribution, their health, their fitness, their intellect and character, and the sum of training in behavior, skills, and knowledge: every physical emotional and intellectual asset a person can have. Human capital…
The Economic Policy of Elizabeth Warren
Jan 19, 2020, 1:04 PM by Tyler Cowen Jerry Taylor has made some positive noises about her on Twitter lately, as had Will Wilkinson in earlier times. I genuinely do not see the appeal here, not even for Democrats. Let’s do a quick survey of some of her core views: She wants to ban fracking…
Multiculturalism has failed.
A limited number of social orders are possible: i) Genetically imperial (Han Chinese, Russian Empire), ii) Large hierarchy of casts (india), iii) Small homogenous and dynamic (europe, japan). iv) Tyrannical hetero-tribal, v) Failed peoples that cannot hold territory (diasporic unlanded people). Every experience with heterogeneity has failed. (Middle East, Brazil, and most obviously, India.) The…
Well that Fits but It’s a Big Surprise!!!
Jan 19, 2020, 3:33 PM by Göran Dahl Up until very recently, it was thought that Eastern Europeans (in the form of Poles, Belarusians, Ukrainians, Russians and Balts) were the genetically closest to Proto-Indo-Iranians and, indeed, to Proto-Indo-Europeans. However, it appears that these ethnic groups had ever so slightly inflated Steppe ancestry percentages due to…
Necessary Reading for The Informed
Jan 19, 2020, 3:43 PM NECESSARY READING FOR THE INFORMED by Göran Dahl A great document with lots of information regarding admixture events, ancestry proportions, what modern people are made up of etc. The Modern sections with “Yamnaya” proportions are somewhat misleading, because they don’t use actual Yamnaya people as proxies for Yamnaya ancestry, but…
Our Strategy
Jan 21, 2020, 10:49 AM So, the strategy for the Right is to enumerate a set of ‘rights’ and demonstrate to demand our ‘rights’ including the right to self determination, the preservation of our culture, traditions, institutions, language, religion.
Richmond reset my brain a bit on strategy
Jan 21, 2020, 12:10 PM Richmond reset my brain a bit on strategy so I’m not talking about it yet. But the drive down and back, plus the pure spirituality of ‘all our men’ gave me needed think time. Mostly on european aesthetics and commons and our ‘group-think’ (formation sensitivity?) And how that’s possibly a…

It is amusing that you think”– Well if you’ll bet, then how much, and what evidence can you present to back your case? —“2.
