Where Does The American ‘obsession’ With The Constitution Come From?
BECAUSE OF THE PRINCIPLE OF “Rule of Law“ The U.S. Constitution sets limits upon what a people in a government can do, and what people in the citizenry can do, that cannot be modified. Under democracy, the ‘rule of law’ has been intentionally modified via propaganda to mean ‘rule by law we agree upon’ so…
The Law Evolves as Science Evolves: By Reaction
[A]ll progress in truth, like all progress in law, is a reaction to progress in imagination, error, bias, deception and propaganda. The reason we could not suppress the left, is because we did not yet understand Truth. Now that we understand Truth, we can criticize, suppress and punish the left as the liars and thieves…
Five Axis of Intertemporal Production
(from elsewhere) [T]here are five necessary axis of inter-temporal production: 1) The individual, the family, and the church (the production of generations) 2) The partnership, the corporation, the bank, the treasury. (The production of goods and services. 3) The local government, state government, and the federal government. (the production of commons) 4) The judiciary (the…
Tolerance as Conspicuous Consumption
[S]orry, but there are a whole lot of very bad people in this world. And a goodly part of our time is spent so that we never have to interact with, meet, see, or be aware of them. All human life is not precious. Some humans are merely a drain on us. But others are…
Propertarianism’s Family Tree
Revolution Requires Only That We Abandon All Hope
[A]ll hope that an aristocratic civilization is desirable for other than the middle class. And that the classical liberal experiment, and the enlightenment vision of equality and universal aristocracy, failed. Free your mind. Abandon the rational fallacy as we abandoned mysticism. Abandon hope for democracy: it’s suitable only for northern European families with thousands of…
John Adams on The Central Proposition of Christianity
—“The fundamental doctrine of the Christian religion is the extirpation of hatred from the human heart. It forbids the exercise of it, even towards enemies.”—John Adams [J]esus ‘is’ love is pretty much all there is to it. And the purpose is to break tribal bonds: to extend familial trust to everyone (as a means of…

Corporations were, like Limited Monopolies (IP), and like Letters of Marque, Limited Duration Contracts in the Public Interest
[A] Month of Quotes on Corporatism by Tom Reeves —“…how corporations came about — they were all one-off, special purpose and limited-duration monopolies created in the public interest, not charters that the government let you file that were just like limited partnership agreements.”— Tom Reeves The same is true for Intellectual property (which we need…
Answering Charles Murray on Legalizing Blackmail
RE: http://www.aei.org/publication/charles-murray-asks-why-should-blackmail-be-a-crime-walter-block-makes-the-case-for-legalizing-blackmail/ [W]alter Block starts with the rhetorical position that property is a natural right rather than the result of a necessary contractual exchange of rights, agreed to in order to construct property rights that are adjudicable, in order to prevent retaliation for impositions of costs upon one another, by providing a means of restitution and…
Q: How Do You Reconcile The Ideal of Property Rights, and Observable Reality: Corporatism, and Cronyism?
—“Question for Curt: How does property rights fit into mixed economies, corporatism and cronyism? If a corporation has property rights is that for eternity? Who decides?”— Beauregard. Beauregard, [I]’m going to try to guess at what “fit in” means. I think you mean, “How do we reconcile the apparent conflicts between the logical ideal of…
Rights of Limited Market Monopoly (Intellectual Property)
[E]xcuse me in advance for the language of my analytic philosophy. That said, I tend to describe the grant of limited monopoly license under similar criteria to which we grant the license to property: “Transitus(transit), Usus(use), Fructus (fruits of), Mancipio(transfer), and Abusus(consumption)”. We can grant different rights to property. We can grant different rights to…
Strict Construction Under Propertarianism
(important) (law) (strict construction) [W]ith Propertarianism, strict construction of Law is possible. And not particularly difficult. The Structure of a Propertarian Law: (whereas) Given some such means of involuntary transfer/free riding; (prohibition) We prohibit all such involuntary transfers; (assertion) And define these rights; (proof) By this reasoning; (falsification criteria) Until such time as the aforementioned means…
Propertarianism’s High Barrier to Entry is a “Good”
[O]ne of the problems that plagues both Neo-Reaction and Libertinism(Rothbardian Cosmopolitan libertarianism), is the lack of formal logic (building proofs: criticisms) means both disciplines attract lunatics. And there isn’t any defense against it. I had always considered Propertarianism’s rather challenging learning curve as a negative. But in light of what I’ve seen, it’s actually a…
I Want The Churches. All of Them.

Licenses as Warranty Because of the Failure of the Academy.

Defending Murray : Even Scott Sumner is the Victim of Selective Temporal ‘Mathiness’.
RE: http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2015/06/charles_murray_5.html [S]cott, Murray, like most conservatives, is studying, and conveying observations about our change in NORMATIVE capital, not income or consumption. Deviation from northern european traditional norms is a luxury good ( the absolute nuclear family, delayed marriage, delayed reproduction, high investment parenting, the manorial/protestant work ethic, hight trust from homogeneity, truth-telling/testimony ).

Libertarian: Aristocratic Egalitarian Nomocratic Classical Liberal
[A]RISTOCRATIC (rule by best) EGALITARIAN (open to all) NOMOCRACTIC (rule of law) CLASSICAL LIBERAL (divisions into houses representing classes ) AND THEREFORE LIBERTARIAN (an advocate for institutional liberty.. My point in writing this is that I’m not a ‘white nationalist’. I’m a universal nationalist. A higher-tribalist. An advocate for truth, science, and nomocracy; for the…
Propertarianism for New Friends: One Bite at a Time.
[L]ibertarianism is an intellectual, empirical and analytic movement, and conservatism is a sentimental, moral, and analogistic movement. The difference in the language of the movements has partly to do with the production cycles that conservatives (human capital and norms) and libertarians (economic production) each emphasize. We use arguments that reflect the temporal bias of our…
Site Update
[I]‘ve finally finished rebuilding the site, repairing all the damage caused by our ISP’s SAN crash last December.

Meaning we’ve restored access to the videos, reading lists and contact…
Is Propertarianism Utilitarian?
(worth repeating) ( h/t: Kyle Trotta ) [I]s Propertarianism Utilitarian? First, Propertarianism consists of multiple concepts: (a) Testimonial Truth. (b) Testimonialism: The unification of morality, philosophy, law and science under testimonial truth. (c) Propertarian Ethics and Politics: a universal language of ethics and politics. (d) Testimonial Classical Liberalism: the means of constructing institutions that produce…
Current Western Institutional Trends explained
[P]rivatization of commons in Western Europe and North America since the 1980s is but a reaction to a rapidly growing heterogeneous society; and a move by those who have*, to prohibit those who can’t**, from fraudulently obtaining rents. Similarly, creating compliance processes is making what used to be unnecessary to formulate and to structure, and…
