What I Understand Is Terrifying. It’s Not Me that Doesn’t Understand.
Oct 18, 2019, 7:13 PM –“… (Doolittle) doesn’t understand language …”– A Right Wing Postmodernist The truth is not amenable to man, unless the truth provides him with agency. Others confuse truth and utility. The truth may be useful but it is also true and reciprocal. Many statements are useful but either false, ir-reciprocal, or…
Few of Us Seek Truth
Oct 18, 2019, 8:44 PM Very few of us seek truth. We all seek utility not truth. For some of us truth and utility are identical. for others it forces them into competition with Darwin – and truth is the enemy of false genes as much as false ideas.
No, It’s Not Humility, Its Just R&d Is Done
Oct 19, 2019, 10:51 AM —“Good, you’re learning humbleness”—Giego Caleiro That’s unlikely. It’s that I’ve finished the research project, and have moved on to explanation and application. So I’m not attacking ideas to learn how to disambiguate them. I’m just working on explaining everything with spectra of market demands rather than monopoly ideals.

Oct 19, 2019, 10:55 AM —“What we like or want may not be good for us.” –Curt Doolittle Context of the original quote was that we have used a variety of techniques to generate hyper-consumption and especially conspicuous hyper consumption, and even worse, conspicuous hyper consumption of virtue signals. In other words, we may like…
Don’t Be Surprised
Oct 19, 2019, 10:56 AM —“The government endlessly invests in grown adults who can’t dress themselves or bathe., and who destroy every apartment they’ve ever lived in. … As Marx says “from each according to his ability.

Man is the measure
Oct 19, 2019, 6:43 PM I call it Vitruvianism in honor of Davinci’s Vitruivan Man. —“Man is the System of Weights and Measures for all things Human”— But the first man to say it: —“Man is the measure of all things.”— Protagoras
I Don”t Do Hate and Don”t Need To
Oct 19, 2019, 7:12 PM I don’t, we don’t, need to ‘hate’ anyone under rule of law of reciprocity, truthful and reciprocal speech to the public in matters public, and voluntary association and disassociation by any means at all. The left can’t succeed without lying for ir-reciprocity, and sowing discord between genders, classes, and identities,…
Economic Influences on Today’s Art World
Oct 21, 2019, 2:44 PM 1) spaces are now general purpose rather than designed for function. This makes them less amenable to artistic treatment because they have to be ‘resold’. 2) Postwar materials (steel, glass, and panel products) are not amenable to organic arts, and it’s organic arts that constitute the majority of the western…
“Q: How Is Your Concept of Reciprocity Different from The Common-Law Concept of Contract?”

Um. I Think You’re Confused About Property and Commons and The Evolution of Each
Oct 21, 2019, 8:54 PM How food, forests, and people are connected, in 10 charts grist.org —“Commons are for high-input, savage hunter-gatherers. Deconstruction of the commons via recognition of private property is the first step to civilisation.”— Jonathan Besler Um. Well, not quite the argument you’re making. European Hunter gatherers either did not produce fixed…
Setting Expectations on “the Book”
Oct 22, 2019, 11:13 AM I have multiple books at different stages of completion: 1) Essays selected by Michael and Alessandro, 2) Sovereignty which is the reformation of libertarianism, that I pulled out of the main book to shorten it, and 3) Whatever I end up calling the main book – I keep changing the…
“Nothing Else Really Defines Alternatives with Actionable Solutions.”
Oct 22, 2019, 11:22 AM (worth repeating) —“Millenials and Gen Z are mad that we have no community, society, fair ratio of marriageable women, reason to invest at all. Most of us would trade what we have now for communism, anarchy or any number of flawed systems. Philosophically speaking, fight club or the joker are…
What ‘traditional’ Means, What to Say Instead, and How to Restore Reciprocity Between Genders.
Oct 22, 2019, 12:26 PM Advice to Libertarian(ideology), Constitutional (rule of law), Right(normative tradition), and Religious(theological tradition): Avoid “Traditional” as it’s indefensible. (FWIW; it means ’empirically successful in pre technological history because of the division of labor necessary under intergenerational agrarianism.’) Better argument is “Biological gender roles constitute the optimum Nash equilibrium under which all…
The Market Demand for Services Provided by Religion
Oct 22, 2019, 1:09 PM The market demand for personal mindfulness (Spiritualism) whether empathic-femining (theological), moral-masculine(rational), or analytic-masculine(scientific) exists, and all three demands exist for most of us. The question is, given how the various religions solved mindfulness (Stoicism-epicureanism, buddhism, hinduism, abrahamism) which produces agency (stoicism), which produces optimism (hinduism), which produces withdrawal from reality…
For Hindustanis: No More Nonsense. “You Wasn’t Kangs.”
Oct 22, 2019, 4:43 PM FOR HINDUSTANIS: NO MORE NONSENSE. “YOU WAS’T KANGS.” (uncomfortable Truth Warning) HISTORY OF THE IE CIVILIZATIONS: The European, Caucasian, Iranic, and Indian Peoples. Look.

Christianity Was Never a Perfect Fit for Us
Oct 23, 2019, 3:13 PM —“Protestantism happened because christianity was never a perfect fit for us. The normal evolution of our civilization was disrupted when we encountered civilizations more developed. We had writing and metallurgy, but our stories and myths hadn’t become a codified law and spiritual system. It’s time for us to do this;…
Just Ignore the F-King Crazies
Oct 23, 2019, 3:25 PM I don’t try to understand whacky behavior. I limit myself to understanding whacky arguments that poison the well so to speak. Some people are circumstantially crazy as a release valve – and we can usually understand those people quickly and let them pass. But there is no explanation for, and…
Quotes from Google Achipelago

Argumentum Ad Theologicum
Oct 23, 2019, 6:20 PM (yes it’s possible. it’s just almost impossible) We all defend our investments. it’s irrational to think we won’t defend our investments. As long as that’s what we’re doing, it’s not ir-reciprocal. In my understanding, theology is just one of the grammars. it’s both conflationary, and fictionalist, using the supernatural fictionalism,…
