Perfect Government
NOT ONLY CAN WE HAVE A PERFECT GOVERNMENT – WE HAD IT. We had the perfect government: Monarchy, Multi-House Parliaments with one house per class, and the Common Law under Rule of law, under Nationalism (tribalism). The Monarch had only power of veto. The houses functioned as a market for trading commons between the different…
AI’s
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCES Humans regulate each other by the behavior we call ‘property’. AI’s that do also will readily simulate human behavior. Choices require a means of decidability. Property is the only decidable value that is calculable(rational)+cooperative. All human moral intuitions are reducible to prohibitions on imposition against various inventories (property). Ergo, any AI algorithm requires…
A Lesson In Natural Law
FOR SALON: A LESSON IN NATURAL LAW As one of the principle philosophers of what liberals refer to as “reactionary fascism”…. … I’d like to add that the problem with both neo-liberalism and movement-conservatism has been the assumption that the other side would eventually ‘catch on’ rather than pursue their own interests. Liberal(socialist) strategy reflects…
What’s Wrong With Contemporary Capitalism?
WHAT’S WRONG WITH CONTEMPORARY CAPITALISM WHEN NOT PAYING PEOPLE TO DO GOOD (PRODUCTION), WE HAVE TO PAY PEOPLE FOR NOT DOING BAD. (From elsewhere) Competition is necessary for INVENTION, including the inventions in productivity that reduce prices – and competition is necessary to eliminate rent seeking (parasitism). Property, Contract, Money, Prices, Profit, are necessary for…
Religion: Accountability
The Third Principle of Freedom of Religion is accountability. That is, that all members of any faith are responsible for the heresies within that faith. Ergo, if your faith has members that violate natural law, reciprocity, or accountability then, this religion is by definition not a right, and does not protect fundamental rights.
Religion: The Principle of Reciprocity
The Second Principle of Freedom of Religion is Reciprocity. So if a religion violates the principle of reciprocity, then it cannot be claimed as a fundamental right, since reciprocity is a necessary fundamental right.
How Can Human Rights Be Taken Away?
Rather foolish question. The question is how do we create them in the first place. Human rights consist in a list of things we seek to create. We are not all that good at creating them. And I think the question is still open whether we should create them, or whether people should earn them…
Had Bin Laden Been Hiding In Australia, Would The United States Have Trust Australia More Than Pakistan?
Australia and Canada both suffer from extraordinary privileges that they attribute to their own actions or own beliefs rather than the windfall produced by their ancestor’s conquest of primitive lands, using science, guns, germs, steel, accounting, and rule of law. None of us take Australia or Canada any more seriously than we take the girl…
Is It Possible To Have A Perfect Government And Make Everyone Happy?
We had the perfect government: Monarchy, Multi-House Parliaments with one house per class, and the Common Law under Rule of law, under Nationalism (tribalism). The Monarch had only power of veto. The houses functioned as a market for trading commons between the different socio-economic classes. And an homogenous polity can act redistributively because everyone is…
What Are The Key Differences In Business Culture Between Western And Eastern?
Sinic (Eastern) : Basis of Sinic philosophy is Sun Tzu: Deception and delay until opportunity to defeat. We are strongest when we have total control, and cannot be victimized by the other, and no longer need to compromise. Falsehood is expected.Preserve Face, avoiding offense.Information Hiding, is expected.Self benefit rather than symmetric benefit is not only…
Is Human Rights A Cultural Thing That Simply Does Not Apply To Cultures That Do Not Support Them? Why Or Why Not?
HUMAN RIGHTS ARE LOGICALLY AND EMPIRICALLY NECESSARY FOR VOLUNTARY COOPERATION. YET VOLUNTARY COOPERATION IS NOT POSSIBLE IN ALL CULTURES.(trigger warning: uncomfortable truths) (a) We tend to conflate consumer capitalism and democracy but they have nothing to do with one another other than that they require extraordinary restraint in the behavior of the population. So when…
On Gossip and Shunning
by Vivek Upadhyay GOSSIP Gossip is a non-correspondent, warranty-free means of enhancing personal status through deploying and extrapolating upon selective information about the person being gossiped about. Through use of loaded statements, jokes, rash impressionistic judgments, etc. in a shared consensus often exhibiting “shared information bias” despite the demonstrable costs of this error, gossipers seek…
The Oath
“[I] shall not lie, cheat, steal, impose costs upon others or the commons, nor shall I let go unpunished those who do.”
To William Kristol
TWEETS TO WILLIAM KRISTOL Possessing Courage is not the same as possessing solutions. Conservatism and universal equal enfranchisement are incompatible. Sentiments do not arguments make. Beliefs not policy make. Moralizing not philosophy make. Counter-signaling is but weakness. Conservatism is counter to the strategy of the mass. Why? It is personally costly, meritocratic, deterministically eugenic. And…
To The Weekly Standard
@weeklystandard Not that we want to limit your revenue streams, or expect you to abandon them, but we are the ?#?NewRight?. You failed. Sorry. @weeklystandard If it means we have to take you down rather than reform you, it’s not going to be difficult. Truth Is Enough. You’re done. @weeklystandard Trump is just the embodiment…
How Do You Price Normative Decline?
HOW DO YOU PRICE NORMATIVE DECLINE? [H]elpful conversation about Ukrainian people with my friend ????? ????????? yesterday. She was able to help me understand how Russian rule turned the Ukrainian people immoral, and how far they must come before they can change. Because now, like Russia, people are taught how to take advantage not how…

Commons via Externality of Teaching Sacredness
[S]acred rituals (church/temple in particular) reward us with the pack response (spirituality/elation) and inclusive signals in exchange for learning the skill of suppression of our impulses. The most aggressive and demanding ritual is that of islam’s multitude of demands and daily repetitions, the most intellectually demanding judaism, the least demanding and most disorganized christianity, the…

Zambrano U. [Y]o creo que, si yo pudiera decirle algo útil a jóvenes libertarios y a hombres y mujeres conservadores sería que los logros satisfactorios y el dinero son cada vez más difíciles de encontrar juntos.

[B]asta de libros repletos de mentiras. Las Vedas fueron inventadas para controlar La Avesta fue inventada para dividir El Talmud fue inventado para engañar La Biblia fue inventada para esclavizar. El Corán fue inventado para conquistar. El Capital fue inventado para robar. La Teoría General fue inventada para empobrecer. La verdad fue inventada para liberarnos…
