Lying: Methods and Techniques .. Plus A Reading List
(important) (first draft) (this ought to make some people think) [W]hat I am struck by when researching this topic, is how primitive the research is into HOW lies are constructed. Here are the Axis I am working with: So sticking with the general rules that: 1) All language consists of negotiation on behalf of our…
How Do We Identify The Commons?
[I]nformation, Air, Water, Land, Physical Capital, Institutions, Norms, Traditions, Myths – people DEMONSTRATE that they treat these as commons: “that which may not be consumed”. That is what constitutes property-en-toto: that which man has paid costs (of any kind) to acquire and inventory.
Explained: The Libertine Fallacy Of Crusoe’s Island Thought Model
“[T]he Fallacy of Crusoe’s Island, Surrounded by the sea. But what does the sea that surrounds and defends Crusoe’s island represent? It represents the walls of the ancient master’s house defended by master and warriors. It represents the ghetto’s walls defended by the European nobles and knights. It represents the eastern European territories defended by…
Plutarch Supports : The Only Things That Melt In This Pot …
THE ONLY THINGS THAT MELT IN THIS POT, ARE RULE OF LAW, HIGH TRUST, THE COMMONS, AND THE VOLUNTARISM OF THE CIVIC SOCIETY —-“For along with strange people, strange doctrines must come in; and novel doctrines bring novel decisions, from which there must arise many feelings and resolutions which destroy the harmony of the existing…
The Nobel Prize is an Instrument of Propaganda Supporting Democratic Socialism
[W]ell, the Nobel Prize is awarded for POLITICAL ACTIVISM, not for content. Is her work worthy of a Nobel? Not likely. Is Solzhenitzyn? Maybe. The only Nobel prizes that are not rewarded on the basis of political progressivism are the hard (physical) sciences. The nobel prize is a vehicle for promoting european social democracy. So…
Why Is Bellevue, Wa Considered One Of The Best Places To Live In America?
(trigger warning)j Truth: 1) it’s a relatively new city built with money generated by proximity to Microsoft, and because it is new and expensive, and populated by an almost entirely college educated population, it has not (yet) accumulated an underclass. 2) Seattle/bellevue/redmond started as a heavily Scandinavian lumber and coal region, but never experienced the…
The Open Society Experiment Failed
[J]ust like every other cosmopolitan pseudoscience. Just another ideological catastrophe. Sorry Karl Popper. You were just subconsciously hoping to recreate your ancestral home in eastern Europe under the remote and disinterested tsars. The Ancient Slaves. The Medieval Jewish Ghetto. Eastern Europe under the Tzars. Israel defended by American arms and money. And the Fallacy of…

When we have a bit of time we will install the multi-language plugins and let you switch between different language versions of the same article.

El significado del “incremento de la supresión”
Original article by Curt Doolittle (http://www.propertarianism.com/2015/06/23/the-meaning-of-incremental-suppression/) Translation by Alberto R. Zambrano U. [L]a lógica de incrementar la supresión del parasitismo por medio del “common law” o derecho consuetudinario . Los seres humanos adquieren al costo y defienden lo que han adquirido al costo. La cooperación es desproporcionadamente más productiva que la depredación. La cooperación es preferible a…
Cleanse the Earth Of Lies and Theft – Pacification of Man
COMBINE SCIENCE, TRUTH, PHILOSOPHY, MORALITY, LAW, AND ECONOMICS – CLEANSE THE EART OF LIES AND THEFT, AND WE WILL BE IN PRACTICE GODS [P]hysical Science as practiced is merely incomplete. When completed, Science is a moral discipline laundering imagination from free association. Physical Science advanced faster than Social Science because in Physical, truth is advantageous…
More Awareness of IQ’s Effect On Institutions-
[A]dam, Thanks for giving this book and this concept airtime. Le Griffe has been talking about this issue for years. I have been stating it in relation to Pareto’s work on the distribution of property necessary to organise voluntary production. And the usual suspects in IQ research have been concerned about it for decades now.…
The Andresson Horowitz Model as Landless Monarchy
“Most of our first customers that were over a $1M have come as relationships through Andreessen Horowitz.”—Jessica Lessin @Jessicalessin @pmarca 1) Not surprisingly, the Andreessen Horowitz model is identical to that of the monarchies – albeit without land holding. 2) Entrepreneurial Paternalism vs State Capitalism seek the same end by different means. Classes differ in…
The Multitude of Luddisms We Call Political Philosophy – Our Failure to Scale
[I] am beginning to see Rothbardian Libertinism, if not Puritanism, Socialism and Communism, as intellectually limited failures of maturity. They’re all forms of Luddism. They are failures to innovate to adapt to changes in scale. Just as the 20th century thinkers failed to grasp the problem of existential possibility (operationalism and intuitionism) and of criticism…
Q&A: Did You Ever Think That Lying Makes Life Beautiful?
—“Curt Doolittle , did you ever think about the fact that truth is boring and lying (telling stories) makes the life beautiful? You have to be talented in order to lie, not everybody can do it well… BuI bet that many people have not the time and patience to read your arguments…”—Grete Tartler Tabarasi [I]…
Chivalry and Monogamy: The Female Price for Her Liberty
[A] chivalrous man acts chivalrously in exchange for attention, grace, femininity, beauty and courtesy. The difference between the super-predator and the gentlemen-caretaker is merely the incentive provided to behave as such by women. There is no free ride for the female. Either we get attention and respect, or there is no reason to preserve the…
Q&A: “Why Are People ‘Triggered’ By Doolittle?”
[I] have been openly attacking the Mises Institute’s propagandizing of rothbardianism for two years now. And they have no response to my criticisms (they can’t have one really – they can only adapt to them.) People invest their self worth in these ideologies to the point which they are not competing institutional solutions but hats…
Q&A: “Why Don’t You Debate The Rothbardians, Or [Insert Name Here]?”
(very important ideas in the longer answer) QUICK ANSWER: [A]ny time. Any day. It’s because they’re afraid of me. Just as they’re becoming increasingly afraid of everyone else given the catastrophic failure of their ideology. Hans has said I am ‘too combative’ which is true – because one of the marxist techniques is to rely…
Liberalism Isn’t Intellectual – It’s An Excuse For An Impulse
—“Liberalism isn’t intellectual. It is merely the rabbit’s r-selected Reproductive Strategy, intellectualized in humans who exhibit it instinctually. Its only purpose is to exploit a resource excess in our society. This information kills Liberals, if you point it out to them, because it strips Liberalism of any intellectual justification, leaving it as merely a conglomeration…
Scientific Method In Everything
Seek out combat: Intellectual, romantic, social, economic, and physical. Not to win, but to improve until you can no longer find a way to lose. Love the fight. Revel in it. It’s your heritage. Celebrate it. Heroes all – whether words, heart, work, money, stick, spear, sword or rifle. He who fights regardless of rank…
The Secret Of Their Half Truths – Some Groups are Just Really Really Good Liars
OMG. Appealing to altruism is an act of suggesting future shaming – of shaming pre-shaming… That’s why it works. They tell a half truth and suggest the rest. Some groups are just really, really, really good liars. They have weaponized lying in order to take advantage of altruism. damn. Gypsies and Desert Arabs: set up…
I Figured it Out. The Method Of Lying In The Religious and Pseudoscientific Eras
[I] think it was 2013 that I questioned whether I had to solve the problem of Truth or not. And I was pretty stressed about it. But I just felt like I couldn’t put an end to postmodern deceit unless I did so. So reluctantly I started working on it. And it took me a…
More On Race. Sorry. I don’t Do Racism. I do Aristocracy for Every Clan, Tribe, and Nation.
[I] am an aggressive supporter of kin-preference, aristocratic families, paternal aristocracies, and as many of them as man can make. My position on the friction between the races is that democracy and multiculturalism causes conflict between them. And that nationalism, aristocracy, paternalism and local separatism improve everyone. My position on the cause of the *meaningful*…
(venting) Boomers: So Die Already.
(venting) [I] will be happy when all these 60’s scions are settled in the earth, and I don’t have to hear one more time how great the sixties were. I was there. They sucked. It was the proletarian generation. The first chance the proles had at participating in higher education and consumer society, and look…
Hang ’em Early and Often (Really)
(In response to news that Duarte will reinstitute the death penalty and hold weekly hangings, I’ve reluctantly agreed that this is an important tradition) [T]he death penalty is probably one of the most positive influences of all traditional institutions when used aggressively against violent career criminals. Particularly if they are young and have not reproduced.…
