The ‘Talk’: Why Are We Stooping To The Left’s Level
Nov 11, 2016 11:06pm In person i am a gentleman. but i learned a lot from Hayek’s pristine, gentlemanly, german failure with Keynes: never give the enemy an inch out of grace. we aren’t Victorians. this is a street fight. a brawl. and i use broken bottles, brass knuckles, clubs, knives, guns, and every other…

Alt-Right Overplaying Its Hand, and The Horror of the Left.
THE ALT RIGHT WILL (IS) OVERPLAY ITS HAND Tipping a scale is not anchoring the pan. You cannot win a vote by margin and hold a field. They have shock, anger, loss of confidence. You want what you believe is favorable stability. But you need to create favorable chaos. The point is not to win…
Peter Boettke On The Reveal: Partisan Cheerleaders Not Social Critics
—“Observation — journalists and other intellectuals freaking out over the outcome of the election reveal that they were never really “students” of society, or even “social critics”, but were instead partisan cheerleaders. Also, it appears that many are completely incapable of asking themselves whether it might be possible that the consensus of the progressive…
Media-Academia Is To Civilizational Capital, As Central Banks Are To Industrial Capital.
(by Sock ‘Frank Leibowitz’ ) Counterfeit information, derails calculation in all measures of temporality (immediate, medium term, civilizational, evolutionary). Counterfeit money, which is a special case of information forgery, derails catallatic calculation. Counterfeit theories derail civilizational calculation. Media-academia is to civilizational capital, what central banks are to industrial capital.

The Limits of Markets: Kin.
Markets either facilitate our families, tribes, and nations, or they prey upon our families tribes and nations. Markets and the consumption they provide us, do not create limitless goods. At some point we are no longer advancing our kin, but instead, preventing a future for them. There is no incentive for good families to cooperate…
Harsh Words for Dreamers
Nov 15, 2016 8:09am by James Augustus Berens —“There is a belief popular amongst people who’ve never accomplished anything in life, the idea that one must merely dream or think of what he wants, which is almost always material in nature, and as if by some act of divine will his subjective wants and desires…
The Purpose Of The Electoral College – And The End of the Empire
THE PURPOSE OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE – AND THE FUTURE IS THE END OF THE EMPIRE. The purpose of the electoral college is to prevent immigrant and import/export cities that live in relative luxury at low cost of commons and opportunity, from imposing costs upon those lacking those luxuries in material, normative, and institutional means.…
Myth, Ritual and Maturity, vs Supernatural, Ritual, and Infantilization
WHY IS RELIGION – MEANING MYTH AND RITUAL – NECESSARY? —“Why is mythology and ritual necessary?”—Doug Decidability, opportunity costs and transaction costs. —“??????”—Doug We coordinate our actions a little bit by clear deliberate choices. But mostly we cooperate by many thousands of tie-breakers that we default to loose theories of the ‘good’: narratives. In other…
We Cannot Surrender Our Civilization To the Infantilized Generation
WILL YOU LEAVE THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY, AND THE SACRIFICES AND LABORS OF YOUR ANCESTORS, TO THE INFANTILIZED? WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE INFANTILIZED GENERATION? So what do we do with a generation that has no productive market value, was intentionally infantilized, and has nothing to offer but virtue signalling by giving away via the…
The Future Is A Choice: Choose to Rule
THE FUTURE IS JUST A CHOICE. RETURN TO OUR MAJOR INDUSTRY: RULE. We could take a very different perspective: “They are our minorities. They are our Africans, our Jews, our Caribbeans, our Mestizos. We have paid a high price for them. Under the right circumstances they make excellent wage labor. All we must do is…
Religion may be necessary, but not lies.
Nov 15, 2016 10:40am Religion is a NECESSARY institution for the provision of decidability by narrative, which is the loosest theoretical structure we currently know how to construct. The question is whether we claim religious narratives are true(history), are myths(parables), or are supernatural(falsehoods). History and Myths are enough without resorting to lies.
Start Negotiation From ‘We Prefer War’.
START THE NEGOTIATION FROM THE STANDPOINT OF PREFERRING WARFARE Always make sure the opposition understands the choices that you prefer are those that are very undesirable to them. Never enter a negotiation with a presumption of achieving a rational compromise. Instead set the terms of your negotiation at the limits of your preference. Our current…
Markets Preserve Asymmetry of Merit, and Remove Asymmetries of Non.
Markets are simply the only means of preserving asymmetry and removing asymmetry of power and information. Courts are the only means of preserving asymmetry of warranty of performance. I don’t think markets are subordinate to hierarchy in any sense other than I think that they themselves prohibit hierarchy by permitting the meritocratic rise and fall…
Some Aphorisms
Unarmed, lacking exit, with four hours of electricity, one day of water, and five days of food. Who do you think is in control? Immigrant cities are excellent plantations for wage and tax slavery. Unfortunately, they don’t understand that they took the bait. There is a difference between a city (market) and an immigrant city…
Secession Requires Visualization
Nov 15, 2016 1:19pm the problem with succession is insufficient planning. people need to visualize a future in which they have greater options. secession will provide the greatest bounty of opportunity since the lousiana purchase let loose the hordes and collapsed the european economy. if we combined secession with testimonialism (requirement for truthful speech) it…
Politics is a Proxy for Violence
Politics is a proxy for violence between men. A market for trades to avoid violence. Women have permission to use this proxy -within limits. But risking life and limb is not substitutable. They risk men, not themselves. So, women: be very careful what you do with that violence. Because men are very aware that the…
Aphorisms
An urban minority is not the same as a demographic or territorial minority. Outside of the urban favelas-in-training, it’s homogenous. Of course suburbans and rurals have higher sensitivity to costs imposed: the police vast commons that urbanites take for granted. There are many ways to sell yourself into slavery. Democracy, Marx, Keynes, and Multiculturalism are…
