A Short Introduction to Propertarianism On The Questions of Drugs and Religion
—“What’s your view of the contemporary drug war? How does the Propertarian framework handle the externality effects of drug use? Conservatives obviously seem to feel strongly about it that they license a monolithic state to fight it, and libertarians seem to adopt the opposite libertine position, at best hoping that it somehow reduces the negative…
Is Keynsian Economics Better For America Than Austrian Economics?
THIS IS THE MOST ACCURATE FRAMING OF THE ECONOMIC MOVEMENTS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO US. 1 – Austrian economics seeks to eliminate asymmetries of knowledge so that people can cooperate voluntarily under the optimum possible conditions. So as a movement, Austrian economics was a social science. In other words, they want to improve our information. 2…
Is The United States A Rogue State?
The problem with american policy is that it’s policy is utopian. The postwar consensus was that states needed to focus internally on capitalism and human rights, and stay within their borders, so that we don’t have another civil war. Unfortunately americans promote democracy AND consumer capitalism instead of consumer capitalism regardless of political order. Democracy…
Is Donald Trump Doing A Good Job At Bringing Conservatives And Liberals Together?
The country has been engaging in ‘the big sort’ for decades now. The Republican party represents whites and married women.The Democratic party represents non-whites and unmarried women. All economics and politics are merely demographic: Race, Culture, Class, Age, and maritial status. We blither a lot about politics under the assumption that people change. They don’t. …
Does China Actually Care About North Korea?
China cares about damaging american power, maintaining the power of the party so that they can prevent the fragmentation of the Chinese (Han) Empire, and restoring her position as ‘center of the world’, in order to gain economic, political and military advantage.

Would The Poor Have Better Standards Of Living In A Perfect Free Market Economy?

Is Leninism A Different Form Of Capitalism?
Capitalism: The voluntary organization of production, distribution, trade, and consumption.Socialism: The involuntary organization of production, distribution, trade, and consumption.

Why Is Neoliberalism So Prevalent In The U.s.?
Women voters, and the profitability of selling education that appeals to future women voters. And the profitability of selling consumption to women voters in their role as consumers. Really. That’s the reason. https://www.quora.com/Why-is-neoliberalism-so-prevalent-in-the-U-S
What Is The Difference Between Economic Liberalism And Political Liberalism In The Context Of International Relations?

Yes. I’m Controversial. But Why?
[Y]eah. I’m controversial. Although, it’s somewhat odd to me that advocating truth-telling, not-stealing, limiting public publication to truthful statements, converting to market rather than authoritarian government, and paying poor people in exchange for having just one kid, is controversial. Slaying sacred ideological cows in every era is controversial. But then, I don’t know why advocating…
Close to the Final Word On Ethical Systems. (The “Deontological Fallacy” In Ethics)
—“My philosophical problem with consequentialism is it’s lacking solid base.”— A Friend (Free Northerner) [I]’d like to give you a different suggestion. That we practice four levels of ethics depending upon the skill in the area of our actions. 1) Pedagogical Myths…(very young)…………..Stories (WESTERN PATHOLOGICAL ALTRUISM) 2) Virtue Ethics………….(young)………………….Biographies 3) Rule Ethics……………(inexperience adult)…Laws 4) Outcome…
Intentional Abuse of Ethical Systems as a Means of Parasitism
[T]he false use of ethics as a means of deception. In childhood we require others to imitate: virtue ethics. In adulthood we require general rules to apply : rule ethics. In wisdom we require outcomes to measure : outcome ethics. Not all can achieve outcome ethics. Some are stuck in virtue. Others in rule. 1)…
NAP: Asserting that Out-group non-retaliation was a rule for in-group cooperation
[N]AP was employed by separatists to attempt to assert that out-group non-retaliation was a rule for in-group cooperation. Jewish law, culture, and religion attempt to preserve separatism so that they gain the benefits of the host’s commons production, without paying for the normative commons. Just as Gypsies do, but gypsies keep the cost low enough,…
Rothbardians are to the Commons as Socialists are to Production
[I]’ll simplify it: we cannot all be parasites. ergo: NAP/Rothbardian libertinism is to commons as socialism is to production.Socialists lay claim to the fruits of other’s production under the false premise that they will continue to produce. Libertines (rothbardians) lay claim to the fruits of others production of commons under the false premise that they…
Propertarianism is for the Prosecution: Sheriff, Knight, Judge
[M]AYBE IT’S NOT OBVIOUS: PROPERTARIANISM IS FOR THE PROSECUTION: THE SHERIFF, THE KNIGHT, THE JUDGE It’s not belief. It’s not a religion. It’s law. A law for the prosecution of those who have engineered deceptions by which to confiscate our private and common property by appealing to our altruistic morality. Every Man A Sheriff, Every…
The Problem of Moral Intent Without the Skills of Moral Action
[T]he moral man is skeptical. If you come at me with questions it would be the actions of a moral man. But as a teacher of others and a philosopher myself I grasp that it is quite difficult to ask questions when you do not know what to ask. So the only option available to…
We are Coming. We are Legion.
[W]e are coming with internet, radios, guns, molotovs, where our ancestors came with leaflets, guns, torches and nooses; and their ancestors came with letters, pitchforks, torches, and knives; and their ancestors with word of mouth, spears, torches, and knives. We are coming. They know we are coming. But we are legion.
Drones Hovering
[D]rones Hovering 1) We probably need to maintain a right of Transitus (transit) but not a right of Observo(observation) or Usus (use) for drones. I can’t see how to get around this. That means that you must have the ability to navigate but not the ability to observe. (this is pretty easy. we put blinders…
The Challenge of Our Time is Deceit
[W]e spend a lot of time on logical fallacies, which assume mere error on the part of one’s opponent. We have begun to spend a lot of time on Cognitive Biases which affect one’s opponent. But both of these disciplines assume that the other party errs. When the problem of modern era, is not error…
