—“I have a few questions if you don’t mind.”— 1) –“Besides Ostrom, what can I read if I want to understand more of the commons?”– Honestly, I don’t think there is else much worth reading. I would read the history of the common law which is in my book list. And I would read my…

The reason you want a narrative and an ideology is so that you can feel in a group and in control in a world where you have none. But the only control you have is over your understanding of that world and your interpretation of that world. So narratives are inhibitors not enablers. Propertarianism (Natural…

No. You don’t get it. Gods exist the way Socrates (Historically), Siegfried(Mythically), and Gandalf(Fictionally) exist. Given that enough people study the wisdom of that mythos that emotional and intellectual norms develop from the ‘ritualization’, those gods exist in effect on our behavior if not in cause. These gods function as a standard of measurement at…

—“Hey Curt, I’ve got a question for you. I was wondering what your thoughts are on the abrahamic concepts of “sin” and “evil”. What are sin and evil to the Aryan, and how is it relevant to natural law?”— A Friend Um. Well, sin is nonsense right? The accumulation of knowledge of your possibility of…

DO FREE MARKET POLICIES HELP POOR COUNTRIES https://www.quora.com/Do-free-market-policies-help-poor-countries/answer/Curt-Doolittle?share=046bc1f0&srid=u4Qv Free Markets are advocated under the presumption that in a world without government interference **comparative advantage** will provide the optimum market for goods, services, and information to everyone.

Religion serves as civic education, and ‘education’ as economic education. If we end the falsehoods in christianity, and restore our church to truthfulness, then we can restore education to the church – and remove the state’s influence from it.

Female mode of argument: The implied threat of reproductive denial and shaming or harming those who may grant you reproductive access. polluting the market for access to reproductive exercise. The problem is, when the critic’s APPROVAL or DISAPPROVAL is of no value, then… that strategy is meaningless.

—“No one sees the terrorist activity of white people around the world”— Waqas Ahmad It’s just 1400 years of islamic death destruction and regression on one hand, and dragging half domesticated animals out of ignorance, superstition, poverty, hard labor, disease, on the other. It’s not complicated. We don’t do terrorism. WE DO WAR, CONQUEST, and…

—“Hey Curt, this might be kind of silly, but you have been on fire lately with some really dense, concise, powerful blurbs I guess I was wondering if you might write some positive affirmations, like a mantra, or something to repeat every morning to kind of self program yourself with the proper attitude to go…

The iron law of oligarchy is a political theory, first developed by the German sociologist Robert Michels in his 1911 book, Political Parties. It claims that rule by an elite, or oligarchy, is inevitable as an “iron law” within any democratic organization as part of the “tactical and technical necessities” of organization. Michels stated that…

NATURAL LAW FOR CHRISTIANS (repost from 09 Monday Oct 2017) Natural Law: I have no idea what these men think natural law refers to, but in CAN only refer to Reciprocity. Every other reference is just an excuse for parasitism or predation by moral pretense. Revelation: The knowledge gained through the sciences (physical, physiological, natural-meaning…

What is this law of cooperation and conflict resolution? >Reciprocity. WHAT IS RECIPROCITY?

—“Overt action is not always needful for the drastic removal of lower organisms. Very often, if left alone, degenerates cremate themselves. If given control of governmental mechanisms, they immediately commence to grind one another into mincemeat (that is to say, into dividends)” — Redbeard (via Brandon Hayes)

—“The irony is that it is only through a profound amount of liberalism coupled with ideological courage that Curt Doolittle is able to diagnose a variety of issues with great accuracy. But [your prescription] sounds more like radical leftism repackaged. And though there might be some deterministic accuracy to the rise of radicalism in both…

by Luke Weinhagen What happens to the fertility rate of the producers when the cost of the parasites is reduced and the traitors are removed. The big threat is internal. It is comprised of the parasites leaching the value from the producers and the traitors opening the gates from within. Some might see the vectors…

—-”Is it appropriate to racially profile college applicants to promote diversity in admissions?”—- If we use exclusively meritocratic entry, and domestic-only entry, then we aren’t harming anyone in the polity because of their race. If we use profiling (discriminatory) entry, and include international entry, then we **are harming** people in the polity because of their…

From Alexander of Macedon by Peter Green “He had the whole body of Greek civilized opinion behind him. Euripides held that it was proper (eikos) for ‘barbarians’ to be subject to Greeks. Plato and Isocrates both thought of all non-Hellenes as natural enemies who could be enslaved or exterminated at will. Aristotle himself regarded a…

(Stoicism in Scientific Terms) Self Authoring and Journaling are the best training you can give yourself – other than basic physical fitness. I promise you. Why? Because we evolved our minds to search for possibilities optimistically. So its very easy to say stupid things to yourself in the madness of the moment; and much harder…

I have a very simple methodology: the truth. the truth provides decidability. And I don’t leave room for pragmatism. By allowing one pragmatic falsehood you allow all pragmatic falsehoods. By disallowing all falsehoods, no matter how practical, you leave only the truth. —“I get that you teach by a startling statement and follow-up Devil’s advocate…

1) To develop mental fitness and distance from our impulses (to develop agency) 2) To accumulate an inventory of human errors and bias so that we do not make them in our own lives, and are not affected by others who employ them. 3) To survey the sets of myths and paradigms (stories we tell…

(sorry, it’s just science) Rule of Natural Law and Markets in Everything is the optimum set of institutions, for the simple reason that they can continuously adapt and as such continuously suppress rent opportunities, and the accumulation of fragility. Nationalism is the optimum international order. The problem is GETTING EVERYONE THERE the way we dragged…

STOICISM IS INTUITIVE AND ABSENT ANY WOO WOO. THE ANSWER TO A BLUE PILLED WORLD by James Santagata What is powerful about Stoicism is that forces us to maintain an INTERNAL locus of control along with high agency. At the same time, filtering out emotions by considering what we have rather than what we don’t…

—“Begin with your own family”—Lycurgus of Sparta Um. No it doesn’t work in family. It doesn’t work in business. and it doesn’t work in a polity either. Militia, Truth, Duty, Reciprocity, and Markets in Everything: The Natural Law of Sovereign Men. via Andrew Clayton

If you took all the falsehood out of christianity then what would remain? – The mass (A lesson, an oath, a feast), festivals. – The extirpation of hatred from the human heart. – The exhaustion of interpersonal forgiveness as the optimum group cooperative strategy. – The demand for personal acts of charity. If you replace…
