What Kind of Anti-Market are You? (You’re some kind, I promise)

Advocate Against the Negative – the Positive Is A Choice
I advocate a world that ostracizes, punishes, or kills those who behave parasitically on the production of others, whether produced by private, kin, or common, and whether life, physical, institutional, normative, or informational.
Paganism Is, Like Natural Law, Simple
PAGANISM There is very little to understand about nature worship. There is very little to understand about ancestor worship. There is very little to understand about hero worship. These are exercises in sacredness: non consumption and ritual demonstration of reciprocity (gifts, observances) Evil religions emerged when we adopted corporatism instead of kinship and nationalism. And…
The Diseconomies of Scale
—“At what point do diseconomies of organizational scale kick in or is this a flawed frame?”—Lee Tucker That is the entire question as far as I am concerned. If we take an empirical look, the scale increases with available information systems, and the homogeneity of the population. But in simple terms, a city = a…
Q. What is Propertarianism? In A Word: Reciprocity.
Apr 15, 2017 4:32pm Q: “WHAT IS PROPERTARIANISM?” What is Propertarianism? A scientific, meaning descriptive, statement of Natural Law. What is Natural Law? A fully decidable (universal) Law of Ethics. What do you mean by ethics? The law of cooperation and conflict resolution. What is this law of cooperation and conflict resolution? Reciprocity. WHAT IS…
Um. Grow Up. We Want The Warlords To Rule. The Entire Militia of Them. 😉
But Wouldn’t Warlords Take Over? mises.org GROW UP – WE **WANT** WARLORD RULE – THE MILITIA https://mises.org/library/wouldnt-warlords-take-over Warlords MUST take over. That’s the whole point. The question is only their number. A militia of warlords constitutes a distributed dictatorship under which only markets governed by natural law are possible. Anarchism? A lot of optimistic bullshit.…
It All Begins With A Militia
SOVEREIGNTY, LIBERTY, FREEDOM: IT STARTS WITH THE MILITIA **Rule of Law, by Natural Law, with Universal Standing, and Universal Applicability: A contractual corporation consisting of a distributed dictatorship of sovereign militia (men). ** A constitution of natural law creating a distributed private government, each member with one share ownership, purchasable by reciprocal insurance of all…
The Origins of Easter (Eastra’s Day)
Apr 16, 2017 9:15am THE ORIGINS OF EASTER!! (and yes, the bunny and the eggs are legit) The word Easter is of Saxon origin, “Eastra”, the goddess of spring, in whose honour sacrifices were offered each year. Easter was a ‘movable feast’ which was celebrated on the first Sunday following the full moon after the…
Love Exists…. Where it can.
Sexual love, romantic love, family love, friendship love, universal love. They all exist. But like anything else biological, they exist only in conditions under which it they are possible to exist. Worry about the conditions, and the love will occur. Worry about the love and ignore the conditions, and it cannot
Deflationary Government
0) A militia consisting of shareholders who reciprocally and unconditionally, insure one another’s property-in-toto from the involuntary imposition of costs by both members and non. 1) A contract (constitution) between those shareholders for that reciprocal insurance, consisting of Rule of law, natural law, universal standing, universal applicability, absence of discretion through strict construction, with a…
Of Course We Can Demand Reciprocity
THE MARKET FOR RECIPROCITY? Yes we can create a market for truthful (non false, non-parasitic) political speech. In fact, it was the state that ended our market for truthful speech. Why? … Isn’t science an ongoing discovery process? doesn’t it function as a market for information, with career ending punishments for violators? Don’t we protect…
We? Who are ‘We’?
WE? WHO ARE ‘WE’? We are the people who fight, kill, ostracize, punish, perform restitution upon those who act as parasites upon the polity, upon the commons, or upon the private production of people like ‘us’. And if you wish to engage in political, institutional, normative, informational, commercial, or interpersonal parasitism, we will force restitution,…
War: The Fragility Spectrum
When you are small you cannot fight to defend, fight to stop, fight to exit. There are only so many fragile regions on the human body, the human organization, the human polity, the human state, that you can attack with all your might, and end it’s agility(knees), action (jaw), thought (neck-arteries), air(throat), vision(eyes). The body…
Weapons of Chaos – and Revolution
WEAPONS OF CHAOS The best weapons in an urban skirmish are mace – to buy you opportunity, hardened and weighted knuckles – to give you extra mass and minimize absorption of shock, a lighter and lighter fluid – to create uncertainty, and area of effect damage, molotovs – artillery at a distance, and a motorcycle…
The Steppe Way of War = Urban Today
The steppe way of war practiced by our earliest ancestors, and practiced by muslims today, is superior to the interregnum method of war, relying upon a concentration of forces. That means: RAIDS. Conduct of many small raids costs little but creates great uncertainty and costs the host thousansd of times as much in defense. In…

Intuition Bias, Predjudice
INTUITION, BIAS, PREJUDICE —“Is intuition synonymous with prejudice?”—Skye Stewart We have genetics that cause us to possess intuitions and biases — – both of which are pre-cognitive. A prejudice consists of a pre-judgement, and therefore a judgement we have made by some degree of free association, reason or contemplation. One may develop a prejudice because…
Rational Self Interest
Apr 09, 2017 6:01am RATIONAL SELF INTEREST by John Dow Assuming self-interest is rational, by punishing all non-reciprocating choices via law, acting in group interest becomes rational. I don’t care if you reciprocate by rational self-interest or as a result of high prosociality, as long as you reciprocate. Assuming the maximization of group fitness has…
Definitions: Operational, In Series, and in Equilibrium.
DEFINITIONS, OPERATIONAL, IN SERIES, AND IN EQUILIBRIUM Definitions are very powerful, operational definitions much more so, and operational definitions in series are even more so, and the comparison of series in equilibrium even more so. With definitions in series alone, comprehension increases dramatically. It is equivalent to the difference between the descriptive power of arithmetic…
Thought At Post Human Scale
THE BASICS OF THOUGHT AT POST-HUMAN SCALE Ideal types, and idealism (which I criticize almost as frequently as fictionalism), are products of the problems at human scale: antiquity and pre-modernity. We can see the enlightenment as an attempt to successfully transition from measurements at human scale, within the realm of human perception, to the measurements…
