Watching Other Cultures Learn Software
It was interesting to watch the Russian programmers ‘come online’. The russian mind is particularly suited to programming because it is an individual pursuit, just like the german mind is particularly suited to engineering because it is a collective pursuit. Watching the chinese come online as their native mind is transformed by the process…
Revolt And Separate
When you have nothing to sell the unwashed masses, and they have nothing to sell you, the only solution is to revolt and separate. Cooperation requires exchange. When exchange is impossible then cohabitation in a polity is impossible. Because a polity is nothing more than a market for exchange of wants.
Nassim Taleb On Actors
(Nassim Nicholas Taleb) To understand why what happens in Hollywood is irrelevant to the rest of humans: a) How many ACTORs do you have among your friends? b) How many ACTOR friends do your friends have? Actors rarely mix with real people. 2) Romans banned actors from marrying, even mixing…

—“Hollywood used to be the main propaganda machine of American lifestyle and values around the world. Perhaps America needs to reclaim Hollywood.”—

On external correspondence. You can justify anything. that’s why we have numerology, astrology, monotheistic religions, marxism, keynesian ‘cherry picking’ economics, libertarian ethics, and the whole corpus of postmodernism. All the logics do not allow you to prove anything. But they do allow you to use strict grammars to FALSIFY arguments. And praxeology does…
Don’t Lie. It’s All About Money.
The only time it isn’t about money is when you’re trying to steal time, effort, money, property, status, opportunity, and political power.
The Fifth Secret Of Propertarianism: Words That I Use Mean What I Intend Them To Mean.
Yes I must create new terms, redefine existing terms, or clarify existing terms, or use different phrasing to prevent the falsehoods in accumulated semantics, whether fictional(fictionalisms), common(ordinary), professional (disciplinary). Moreover, in order to unite Religion, Philosophy (what remains of it), Ethics and Morality, Law, Economics, Science, and Logic, into a single commensurable language…
The Fourth Secret Of Learning Propertarianism.
Reciprocity is the only rational, ethical, moral, and evolutionarily possible, means of cooperation over the long term. Or put more honestly, it is the only means by which cooperation is preferable to predation, parasitism, enslavement. Where reciprocity refers to productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange, free of imposition of costs upon the investments of…
The Third Secret Of Learning Propertarianism
Acquisitionism: All humans seek to acquire ‘experiences’ and those experiences consist entirely of reactions to the acquisition of opportunities for calories, discounts on calories, or calories. (Really). When composing a sentence in operational grammar, express not emotions (which are not causal but reactions) and instead, the change in state of calories (assets, property, consumption)…
The First Secret Of Learning Propertarianism
Operational language in full sentences. All logics consists of some deflationary grammar that limits the structure of phrases, sentences, descriptions, and arguments, as well as the semantics (range of references you can use) to that which is empirical (observable). First, prohibit the use of the verb to-be in all forms. The verb to-be allows…
The Second Secret Of Learning Propertarianism.
For every reference you use, express it as a position in a spectrum of at least three different states all of which share the same measurement (constant relation). The reason most things seem clearer or more insightful is that I use series’ of operational definitions to limit (as do all grammars) and emphasize, the…

The irony that the Long House is the Ultimate Family home design, and that the Courtyard House is the Ultimate Multi-Generational home design, and that the Courtyard Block of ‘interior facing condos’, or exterior facing Town Homes, is the ultimate Multi-Family Intergenerational home design, and we have all been trying to develop farm houses, which…
Why Has There Been So Much Debate Recently About Race And Iq?
Because only Europeans and East Asians have reduced the size of their underclasses sufficiently to produce advanced civilizations – and even so, the east asians still fell prey to bureaucracy and stagnation in the absence of rule of law(empiricism), markets(empiricism), and science(empiricism) in addition to the chinese predilection for political lying (deny and delay), predilection…
What Kind Of Advice Would You Give To A 24 Year-old Male?
1) When you are young you can do something that people who are older cant: work incessantly on very little income. The truth is though, that older startup guys do better at it. We just are more interested in young guys. but they have to give away a lot of the company because they can’t…

Curt Doolittle’s answer: Learn from “Duarte, Putin, Mao” and hang the criminals and drug users. “Eliminate” everyone with an IQ under 95 – quickly, or at least sterilize them. Limit reproduction to married couples who own property, or face prison and fines in the chinese model. Replace your …

—“Last summer, scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem found that male sperm counts had fallen by almost 60 per cent in 40 years.

honor works because the radius of cooperation, and therefore reputation are narrow. We create measurements as we scale. The problem with credit scores is not that they are incorrect, but that the financial system is organized to create moral hazards. Today we have criminal, civil-legal, credit, tax, property title, voting, education, and income scores. And…
Is Being Racist Edgy?
You know, I have built a reputation out of answering the uncomfortable questions using the language of economics to explain human evolution, development, behavior, and thought. And providing uncomfortable but true information is always ‘edgy’. And working on ‘edgy’ subjects draws attention. Despite writing rather prolifically against racism (particularly racism against whites), I have ended…
