Hayek’s Warning
Apr 26, 2020, 9:37 PM via John John Stephens —“The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design.”— Friedrich August von Hayek, The Fatal Conceit CD: That’s really the lesson of the 20th. Hubris via pseudoscience, sophistry, and denial.
Definition: Total War
Apr 26, 2020, 10:03 PM Total war includes any and all civilian-associated resources and infrastructure as legitimate military targets, mobilizes all of the resources of society to fight the war, and gives priority to warfare over non-combatant needs. (stage one – mobilized total war) Total war is unrestricted in terms of the weapons used, the…
Is It True You Need a High Iq for P? (no)
Apr 27, 2020, 9:37 AM —“If I remember correctly, you once stated that an IQ of 120 is required as a bare minimum for having the most basic understanding of Propertarianism. Is this correct? Be honest”—Korey Savoie I almost wouldn’t answer this because of ‘be honest’. WTF do you think I do all day? At…

“Curt: What Is Excellence?”

DISAMBIGUATION (Properties) craftsmanship (physical action) … … materials (physical materials) aesthetics (senses, design) … … form follows function (without excess) meaning (mind, content, associations) … … captures a period in time (index) uniqueness (novelty) … … fulfills its promise (is ‘honest’) competitiveness (by triangulation)…

Apr 27, 2020, 10:07 PM —“Can you describe the difference between P and Bakunin anarchy. Just reading something and the description seemed very similar to P but seems to simply lack the formalism around reciprocity.—- P is a method. I use the P-method to explain all group strategies, religions, political systems, and moral intuitions. I…

It’s the other way ’round when it is the other way ’round. 😉
Apr 28, 2020, 8:57 AM Adage: “Better to be silent in public and thought a fool rather than speak and remove all doubt”. Inverse: ‘Better to argue honestly in private with other fools and add to one’s doubts, than fail to argue, and retain them.”
The Hardware Problem Limiting AI
Apr 28, 2020, 9:44 AM Yep. The problem is the entire industry is built for central computation limited by frequency (heat) rather than distributed association and prediction limited only by numbers(cool) – and what we need is billions of trivial circuits whose primary difference from neurons(really dendrites-synapses) is in creating many local logical (addresses) rather…

When Will the Masses Accept Propertarianism?
Apr 28, 2020, 10:51 AM P not a belief system. The masses can not “convert to P”, it doesn’t work like that. How then will P change the world? P is a technology and like all other technologies it goes through phases of development and adoption. In the early phases every technology borders on useless.…
(Hayek’s The Philosopher. It’s more that I’m the Logician for him.)
Apr 29, 2020, 9:18 AM It’s more that Hayek is the philosopher and I’m the logician – but I”m only the logician because my generation included Gary Becker’s application of economics to all social science, Hoppe’s near analytic reduction of property to a system of measurement, the popperian-falsificationary and scientific method debate was still in…
The Feet of Clay (stagnation)
Apr 29, 2020, 11:15 AM by Bjarg Jonsson Each pagan god or goddess typically contained well rounded attributes, not just one. Freya, usually associated with sex and fertility, received first choice of the battle slain for her hall. Freya was followed by some warriors as their patron goddess. Thor, the god of the common man,…
The Cost of Our Endeavor
Apr 29, 2020, 11:29 AM (revolution) I think radicalism, revolution, and pursuit of renaissance is personally costly for leadership. I’m a career executive entrepreneur who built my fortunes – starting in my early twenties – by acquisition and integration of companies consisting of people with different levels of education and experience. It is easier for…
To Produce Unity – We Have to Talk to Each Political Faction on Their Terms
Apr 29, 2020, 1:33 PM I want to be able to respect different people with different intuitions, beliefs, and understandings. P-law and Nationalism and markets for polities for everyone is in everyone’s interest. Monopoly political orders are impossible and contrary to the natural right of self determination. We are separating the african, muslim, christian, wn/natsoc,…
Think Strategically
Apr 29, 2020, 3:34 PM (Revolution) Wars require strategy. Strategy requires sequences of objectives. Sequences of objectives require time and patience. Time and patience make possible successful application of tactics. To succeed in creating truth reciprocity, sovereignty, and self determination, we need POWER first. The power to suppress falsehood and power prohibit the suppression of…

Apr 30, 2020, 8:47 AM —“Hey Curt, I just listened to episode 2 of the choice. I was incredibly impressed at how much knowledge you have and how well you articulate it, you are talking about complex thoughts and ideas with the ease of someone speaking informally with a friend. … I would equate it…
There is no law of war. If there is, it’s business not war
Apr 30, 2020, 11:30 AM (revolution) There is no law of war. If there is, it’s business not war. Much if not all of european warfare was business – control of agrarian income sources. We are not in a war of business today. We are in a war of survival as we have always been…
Disambiguation: Illegal, Legal, Commercial, Commons
Apr 30, 2020, 11:42 AM [R]egarding: Alcohol, Pot, Other Drugs, Sex, Promiscuity, Prostitution, any unregulated behavior, attention-causing, or Hedonism (unregulated behavior) in general – there is a difference between illegality (prohibition), legalization (private and out of the commons) and commercializing (in the commons). Many if not all unregulated behavior can and should be removed from…
The Three Faculties and their Falsifications
Apr 30, 2020, 1:07 PM I mean, humans have three sets of faculties: The physical(existential), the ‘rational-reciprocal'(value), and; the logical(possible). So of course we need to perform falsification in all those dimensions: LOGICAL Categorical consistency (identity) Internal Consistency (logical) RATIONAL Rational Choice Reciprocal Rational Choice PHYSICAL Operationally possible Empirically consistent SCOPE (COMPLETNESS) Limits (have I…
