The Intertemporal Division of Coercive Specialization
[C]oercive Specialization: Conservative, Libertarian, and Progressive May / may not = conservative. Can / can not = libertarian. Should / should not = Progressive. Accumulate = conservative. Produce = libertarian. Consume = progressive. K selection = conservative.* Exchange selection = libertarian.* R selection = progressive.* Long term = conservative. Medium term = libertarian. Short term…
The Fallacy Of Higher Female Cost of Reproduction
(worth repeating) (interesting contrarian argument) —**While incorrectly stated as a difference in *COST* of reproduction – since male deaths from production and defense of the tribe are higher than female deaths in birth, and male lifespans are shorter from accumulated injury and cellular damage – the genders differ not in cost but in the *CONTROL*…
(Humor / Sarcasm) Stomping on Bunnies.
(I know I shouldn’t do this, but sometimes I just can’t help myself.) Curt Doolittle I am not interested in should, I am interested in shall. Not in persuasion but compliance. Not in compromise but in defeat. Not in tolerance but in deportation. REPLIES Vedek Wow you sound just like Hitler. Marilee Superb. Thank you.…
Why IQ Matters So Much? For Good Reasons:
1) Pareto effect requires 20% of the population control production through control of private property. The more talented is that 20%, the higher competitive ability and performance of the economy, and the greater prosperity. 2) Norms MUST reflect the average of the polity, and reflect the Pareto distribution of property. 3) About 106 is the…
The CEO is a Meritocratic, Not Privileged Occupation – It’s Not Bias, It’s Ability
( RE: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289615001300 ) Across the last two decades ? 40% of CEOs were on the top 1% of cognitive ability. Even within CEOs, education/ability was associated with company gross revenue. Becoming and performing as CEO can be considered a difficult mental test battery. (I want to add that above the upper 1% line, men…
A Conviction, A Prayer, A Threat, and A Promise – Of Violence
—I am not concerned with should, I am concerned with shall. Not in persuasion but compliance. Not in tolerance but in expurgation. Not in compromise but in defeat. Not in accommodation but deportation. And should deportation fail, not conciliation, but in hanging, impaling, crucifixion and pyres. There is a vast difference between convenience and conviction, between discount…
Economic Methodologies As Expressions of Class Philosophy and Reproductive Strategy
(good piece)(useful)(for austrians) [J]ust as in physical science, information is the model by which we fallible humans least inaccurately carry on a discourse and achieve understanding. Accuracy matters not just because convenience and tradition introduce errors, but because these errors are externalized to the rest of the population. Perhaps more importantly, as economists, we are…
In Defense of Trump
( RE: http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/tama-starr-ugly-art-trump-deals-article-1.2422470? ) [T]amara Starr is merely unsophisticated, and lacks understanding of the construction business, in which the majority of players first underbid to win, then engage in scamming the developer – the one who has the money – due to asymmetry of information: subcontractors know their craft and the developer cannot. So the…
The Great Decoupling Part II -Is Tech Driving Income Equality? No. But Tech Firms Are.
(Important concept) (RE: http://techcrunch.com/2015/11/03/marc-andreessen-and-sheryl-sandberg-tech-is-not-driving-income-inequality/ ) [A] POLITICAL ECONOMIST’S ANALYSIS: 1) Yes, global inequality on a COUNTRY by COUNTRY level is declining (profoundly). This is because few countries fail to adopt and practice consumer capitalism (the voluntary organization of production distribution and trade, made possible by fiat money and credit: the use of shares in the…
The Great Decoupling, and The Influence of Internatioanl Firms In Creating Local Inequality
(RE: http://andrewmcafee.org/2012/12/the-great-decoupling-of-the-us-economy/ ) [I]nformation is the model for both natural and social sciences. If wages for labor rose in the industrial era and are declining in the information era then those prices (wages) are telling us something. If wages for problem solvers was limited in the era of concentrated capital (early industry), and is expanding in…
What Neo-Reaction Consists In? Three Points: The Cathedral Criticism, NeoCameralism, and “Formalism”
(RE: http://freenortherner.com/2015/11/06/what-is-neoreaction/ ) ( Hoppe is a german rationalist cum cosmopolitan, yarvin/mencius is a cosmopolitan, and I am an anglo empiricist. This is not an opinion, but a statement of the method of argument employed. And the differences in our approaches demonstrate the weaknesses of the hermeneutic cosmopolitan, and german rationalist methods compared to the anglo…
We Ask Too Much of Men – I Am Happy With Specialization Rather Than Equality
[I]n propertarianism I refer to three coercive technologies, and three classes that master them. I am perfectly happy mastering my class’s technology (violence: law and war, and to a lesser degree remuneration: production distribution and trade, and to a lesser degree gossip/morality.). But if I had my ‘druthers’ I would master only law and war, and let…
The Fallacy Of Free Trade Absolutism
(very important piece) (this will ruffle some feathers) [T]he three means of coercion can be used for good or ill. 1) Violence can be used to create property rights and prosperity or it can be used to conduct parasitism predation and destruction. 2) Gossip can be used to reward contributors to the commons with opportunity…
Capitalism And The Sword
[C]apitalism exists for the bourgeoise class only because liberty was constructed by the martial class. Period. Violence creates property. Property creates prosperity. Prosperity makes charity possible. WE ARE THE FOUNDATION. ALL OF CONSEQUENCE FOLLOWS We either form a wall and do not break, or there is not capitalism, prosperity and charity. ORDER: VIOLENCE IS THE…
The Lack Of Women CEO’s and Women Founders – The Myth of Social Justice
—“Very inspiring and encouraging for me, after reading how rarely angels and venture capitalists fund women founders. There’s hope for me, even if the suits are sexist! Fighting for social justice online: how can we use the Internet to make the world a better place? “— Charlotte A. [S]tatistics are Statistics. Data is Data. Fact…
Truth is Expensive, But The Returns Warrant It, and Morality Demands It
[I]t was very expensive to create settlements by prohibiting predation by the development of armies and professional warriors. But we obtained the ability to accumulate capital, and to create a division of labor. It was very expensive to create property rights by prohibiting parasitism through law and indoctrination. But we obtained the ability to create…
Q&A:What is Your Take on Von Kueneldt-Leddhin?
(thx skye stewart) [W]ell you know, this is one of those things that you are much better at than I: meaning. My problem is that while I can agree with that which he appreciates, (a) it is not reducible to law, and (b) it is not stated as science. So it’s somewhat like my criticism…
The West Like The East Practices A Hierarchy of ‘Religions’ Scientific, Legal, Philosophical, Christian and Pagan
(sketch) [C]hristianity consists of Germanic, Mediterranean, Jewish, Egyptian, and Babylonian ideas. If you were to reduce the western ethic to the jeffersonian bible, and natural law, you would have the germanic elements of it. Indo european aristocracy is what separates the west from the rest. Christianity takes much too much credit for the success of…
