Is Propertarianism Both Chicago and Austrian? Well…
Sep 04, 2016 11:10am —“Curt: Can we then say that your philosophy is both Chicago and Austrian?”— GREAT QUESTION I have no problem with discretion in fiscal policy(saltwater), rule of law in monetary, infrastructure, and trade policy(Chicago freshwater), and social science in institutional and human capital policy(Austrian). It’s when economists try to conflate any of…
Markets In Everything – And Economists Circumventing them.
MARKETS IN EVERYTHING? THE WESTERN MODEL OF SOVEREIGNTY A market for reproduction (family). A market for production (goods and services), a market for commons (government), a market for dispute resolution (common law), and a market for polities (voluntary association and disassociation). If you advocate for majority democracy by assent instead of market for commons under…
Notes On Various Topics
Sep 04, 2016 12:26pm NOTES FOR YOUR USE: PROPERTY IN TOTO – The academy uses ‘reported’ vs ‘stated’ preference. We correctly use ‘demonstrated’ preference. – Why do you have the right to depreciate the normative values others have invested in as a flag? I mean, if I bore a cost to create a norm, and…

Graphing Societies By Neuroticism and Individualism
Once we evolved sentience we required a fanciful positive incentive in order to deal with the fact that the universe is hostile to us, does not care about us, and will exterminate us in a heartbeat if we cease the struggle. And that our collective consciousnesses in each tribe constitute the god we speak to…
Sovereignty: Requires Markets In Everything
LIBERTY (SOVEREIGNTY): MARKETS IN EVERYTHING Survival (competition) Reproduction (Marriage) Production (economy) Commons (market govt) Displute Resolution (natural law) Group Evolutionary Strategy (Polities) Hayek was right of course. He could have taken it even farther. But he was right. The answer to Keynes(demand/spending) and Hayek(disinformation/misallocation) is solved by credit cards from the treasury – assuming liquidity…

The Source of Bliss
As far as I know feelings of intellectual bliss are caused by the pack response combined with obviating the labor of reason. Comfort food, comfort of home, comfort of surrendering to the will of the pack. Now, there are many kinds of feelings of bliss, as well as pleasure and joy. Some of them are…
Refuting Some Criticism
Sep 06, 2016 9:34am CRITICISM FROM ERIC —“Your first principles so far are nothing more than presuppositions and you have a lot of actual philosophical work to do if you are going to persuade deep thinkers, you can brush that aside by saying you’ve done the work and it’s in some writing that I haven’t…
The Purpose of Emotions. Consequence Not Cause.
We seek emotions because we evolved those emotions for very obvious reasons: rewards. What is it that we are seeking a reward for? What change in state or preservation of state do we seek to achieve and for what reason? Emotions are only rewards and punishments. What are we rewarded and punished for by monopoly…
Necessities, Not Preferences
Sep 06, 2016 11:32am Life, liberty, and property are necessary for our extension of perception and the choice of actions, across nature, competition, ignorance, time and space – without which we cannot defeat the forces of nature, competition, ignorance, time, and space. We must preserve life, liberty, and property in order to obtain the cooperation,…

To create the strategy and let loose the moral license which can be used by the generals, captains, sergeants, and soldiers to change the world to that which they desire.

We Imposed Truth On An Unwilling World
Aryanism -> Aristocracy -> Christanity -> Puritanism -> Imperialsm -> American Hegemonialism -> …..???? Do we evolve Aryanism once again, and do we return to our ancient ‘industry’ of domesticating and transcending man? Or do we fall into another dark age? Or do we disappear from the earth? No other civilization has done this. It…
Q&a: Justly Acquired Property
—“So I guess my real question is this: do you draw a distinction between justly acquired property and unjustly acquired property? If not, aren’t you just making a convoluted defense of the “might makes right” argument?”— NATHANIEL I’m going to try to answer two questions. (a) might-makes-right (b) justly acquired property (a) might does not…
Demarcation between Aristocratic Egalitarianism (Male Insurance) and Pathological Altruism (Female Insurance)
Curt Doolittle I tend to view western aristocratic egalitarianism as demanding respect for property in exchange for the franchise of Liberty. David Mondrus “aristocratic egalitarianism” vs “pathological altruism”. The demand of respect for property in exchange for liberty is the difference. Curt Doolittle Let me think about that because it is insightful. Hmmm. Is that…
The Competition Between Truth And Lies
EUGENIC (truth) vs DYSGENIC (lies) Reasonable Philosophy Rational Philosophy Analytic Philosophy Scientific (Operational) Philosophy Tradition and Mysticism Theological Philosophy Pseudoscience and Postmodernism (What lie will they invent next?)
Ok. So yes. There are a few philosophers I’d recommend.
OK. SO PHILOSOPHERS? THERE ARE SOME. Aristotle (almost-science)(structure of philosophy) Bacon (empiricism) Locke (property as unit of commensurability) Smith(econimics) Hume (epistemology) Jefferson(constitutional construction), Darwin(evolutionary processes), Durkheim(sociology), Haidt (social psychology) Pareto(economic sociology), Spencer (operationalism), Hayek(law is our social science) and Nietzsche(aesthetics) These men create a pretty good corpus. But they didn’t solve the problem of truth,…

Sep 17, 2016 1:43pm So here is the central issue: ++Voluntary exchange++ vs –Decidability by law– ++Positive epistemology++ vs –negative epistemology– So rather than reason how we might do something as individual thinkers I ask HOW CAN WE CALCULATE SOMETHING by voluntary exchanges within the constraints of natural law.
