  • Ivar Diederik Hits the Transcendent Nail on The Head…..

    —“I’ve seen people accuse Curt of denying the transcendent. But even the mystics themselves have all said the same thing: the transcendent can’t be expressed in words. The greatest mystics are silent about it. Because that which is beyond the grasp of words, should not be put into words. Do not try to testify what…


  • A jury is effectively an addendum to the 2nd Amendment, which is the whole Constitution and Plan B.

    by Richard Nikoley The law is the law. It has to be that way because we can’t conceive of every possible circumstance, nor the myriad contexts in which circumstances occur. This is the whole point of a jury. The purpose of a jury is to judge the law as applied to the facts, circumstances, and…


  • Ok. I Know This Is Rude, But, It’s Funny…..

    I was in a pet shop when I noticed a girl with the most amazingly colored parrot perched on her shoulder. “Where did you get that?” I asked. “Germany. There’s fking millions of ’em!” said the parrot.

    ABRAHAMISM: 1) Restatement of Myth as History 2) Projection of Traditional Wisdom as Authoritarian Law 3) Dependence upon Supernaturalism (“Magic”, “Miracle”) 4) Monopoly (exclusivity) and threat of loss for non compliance. 5) False Promise of Impossible(supernatural, natural) Reward for Compliance. 6) Use of Pilpul and Critique In Defense of the falsehoods. 7) Castes of Priests…


  • Getting Deep Into Propertarianism’s Epistemology with Eric Orwall

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9ipV6oq1is I learned from this two hour conversation that I can give a three hour lecture (with two long breaks) that would cover the epistemology thoroughly enough. Great stuff here. For the hard core guys here is pretty much the complete picture. And Eric did an amazing job of grilling me. ( @ Eric Orwoll…


  • Update.

    UPDATE. I have just finished editing the second draft of “Sovereignty: Reforming Libertarianism”. It’s 235 pages. I have a little work to do on the first page (introduction) that I will finish in the next day or two – I’m a little drained at the moment. Last summer I extracted this work from the “big…


  • Abrahamism: Contending with And Rejecting Aristotle

    By Daniel Gurpide All three major religions have had to confront the ideas of the great Greek philosopher, Aristotle. Averroes tried to integrate Aristotle with Islam. Maimonides tried to integrate Aristotle with Judaism. Aquinas tried to integrate Aristotle with Christianity. All necessarily failed. Rationality cannot be integrated with faith; nor reason with anti-reason; nor, in…


  • Aryan Myth, Abrahamism and The Beginning of The European Cultural Neurosis

    ARYAN MYTH, ABRAHAMISM AND THE BEGINNING OF THE EUROPEAN CULTURAL NEUROSIS by Daniel Gurpide The Indo-Europeans introduced not only practical techniques for the appropriation of the physical and biological world but also, above all, a new technique for organising socio-political and juridical relationships. It developed concepts such as ‘genos,’ ‘polis,’ and ‘imperium’—in their classical, medieval,…

  • Grammars Always Tell the Truth

    You can always make excuses for everything. Hence Astrology, Numerology, Theology, Pilpul and Critique, Rationalism, Formal Logic, Moralizing, Legislative Argument, postmodern (relativism) argument, and all variations thereof. All of these techniques consist of the Fictionalism “Pseudorationalism”. Just as Marxism, Socialism, Frankfurt-ism, Feminism consist of pseudosciences. Just as all Magic, Superstition, Religion, Occult, Mysticism consist of…

  • And then I saw your post….

    –“Holy crap, i was practicing a speech about the evolution of christianity and talking about Aquinas’s attempts to reconcile the Aristotle’s empirical views with christianity. That aquinas didn’t want christianity to follow the path of the muslims in banning any form of empirical logic, but at the same time kept knowledge of God through the…


  • A Parasitic Priest Class

    by Neil A. Bucklew The problem with abrahamism is its murky interpretable nature that allows a parasitic priest class to form. There are good ideas within christianity along side bad ones, as well as a lot of unnecessary fiction. the family structure of the west is not laid out in the bible, where semitic polygamy…


  • Q:Have you written about the Coase theorem?

    —“Have you written about the Coase theorem in respect to the propertarian theory of property? I searched your site & didn’t find anything related. Most discussions of externalities are at least tangentially prefaced with a description of the Coase theorem & its limitations. I’m interested in how you (or another propertarian) would approach the problem.”—…


  • Rationalism vs Falsificationism

    Rationalism = Excuse. Falsificationism = Necessity 1) You know, I specialize in the methods of deception, particularly by moral appeal and hazard: (a) Abrahamism: Pilpul via-positiva (Excuse) vs Critique via-negativa (Ridicule) – vs – (b) Aryanism: Law via-positiva (“I May”) vs Science via-Negativa (Survival from testing) 2) Once you see Pilpul and Critique as techniques…


  • —“Curt: How should the (ideal) relationship between homosexuals and society exist or be constructed?”—

    —“Curt: How should the (ideal) relationship between homosexuals and society exist or be constructed, to make homosexuals experience of society be the best it can be, while also making society’s experience of homosexuals be the best it can be? There are a lot of mixed messages out there… and you actually make sense and can…

  • —“Eggs Are the Same Inside, So Are Humans”—

    The egg can’t remember different interpretations of history, different rules of conduct, different ethics, different morals, different methods of discourse, different criteria for truth, and in particular, different laws. Humans can. The egg can be harmful and deadly by exposure to bacteria, and the human can be harmful and deadly by exposure to ignorance, error,…


  • Everything Is Reducible to Calculation at Degrees of Precision and Degrees of Agency.

    READ JUST ONE PAPER BY POPPER, HAYEK, MISES, AND TURING BEFORE CHOMSKY – OR YOU WILL MISS THE POINT. Understand that Chomsky applied Turing to Grammar (language). That’s his insight. Just as Popper really needed to produce one paper (sources of knowledge and ignorance), Hayek One Paper (uses of knowledge in society), Mises (economic calculation),…
