1) THE GREAT COMPROMISE: THE FAMILY (hopefully with female hosts) 2) CONTRA-FUKUYAMA – THE END OF HISTORY IS THE TRUTHFUL SOCIETY (OR AT LEAST THE NEXT STAGE OF IT) (the high trust society, the private bureaus) 3) THEN: COMPARISON OF LEGAL SYSTEMS LEADING TO THE STRICT LOGICAL CONSTRUCTION OF LAW AND LEGISLATIVE CONTRACT (PROOFS) (Law…
Ethnocentrism Is Superior to Humanitarianism at Suppressing Free Riders
—“Ethnocentrism beats humanitarianism because ethnocentrics do a better job at suppressing selfish free riders. If an ethnocentric group comes across a group riddled with selfish individuals, they’ll refuse to cooperate. Over time, thanks to the ethnos’ mutual cooperation and the selfish group’s total refusal to even help themselves out, ethnos will reproduce faster than the…
The Second Enlightenment
[W]e had to restore science(truth) in order to end more than a thousand years of levantine mysticism. We are now going to have to restore science (truth) in order to end more than a century of levantine pseudoscience. Liars love their lies. But we can defeat them, with Truth. Liberty in our lifetimes.
Q&A: Are There Limits To Western Evolutionary Strategy?
—“Curt, you’ve been hinting that you think that high trust, low ethnocentrism is not an evolutionary strategy superior in every regard.”— [T]his is an interesting question because like supply-demand curves, no evolutionary strategy is beneficial under all conditions – other than rate of adaptation. Humans are special in our rate of adaptation because not only…
(Interview Brief)
INTERVIEW BRIEF PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT: In Propertarian Institute interviews, we are just having a video of two people having a conversation. It does not have to be structured. The purpose of this document is for you to have a general idea of what I might talk about so ideas are not new to you…
Why Do We Want Non-Imposition of Costs Against Demonstrated Property?
[B]ecause in the libertine vision of man, we just ‘move on’ after we have been imposed upon by some sort of cheating. But this is not true. The strong prefer, and enjoy conquest, enslavement, rape, pillaging. It eliminates competitors quickly and permanently. So cooperation must be preferable to conquest. Why shouldn’t I kill a rothbardian…
I’m Just An Intellectual Arms Dealer…
[I]’m just an intellectual arms manufacturer. I give a lot of product demos. But if you want a revolution, you need to learn to use those weapons and go to war with them. 😉
Overturning the NAP Fallacy By Explicitly Stating NAP/IVP and NAP/PT
[N]AP does not make a legal framework btw. And pretty much all libertarian authors have stated so. Rothbardian Low trust (Ghetto) Ethics: Non aggression against intersubjectively verifiable property. (permits blackmail etc), does not preserve the incentive for cooperation. Aristocratic High trust (warrior) Ethics: Non aggression against property-en-toto, for the total preservation of cooperation. NAP/IVP (Rothbardian…
Yes, But **WHICH** Non-Aggression Principle?
[N]on Aggression, or the Non Aggression Principle (NAP), is an incomplete concept, and possibly an intentionally incomplete concept, and alone it is an untestable and therefore unscientific) statement. Without stating what one is prohibited from aggressing against, non aggression is a half truth, using a half statement, that hacks western altruism. Its an act of…
Why Do We Need a Monopoly Form of Commons? We don’t.
[A]ll we need is monopoly Rule. Defense (military), Rule (rule of law), Government (market production of commons), Market (market production of goods and services). Why, instead of debating over whether to institute a universal socialist(consumptive), libertarian(productive), or conservative(accumulative), social(normative), economic(productive), and political(commons) order, do we not institute universal rule of law affirming property-en-toto, and let…
Why Are All Books On Cosmopolitan Libertinism Introductory? (They Must Be)
[T]here is a reason that all works on libertarianism are introductions and so very few are advanced, as are works in economics, capital, public choice, democracy, social democracy, marxism and even neo-conservatism. We really have what, Hayek on classical liberal law, and Garrison and Reissman in classical economics? But advanced works on libertarianism don’t exist…
Our Mistaken Emphasis on Government Rather than Juridical Defense From It.
[W]e are always ruled. We are often governed. The law is the minimum rule. We can never escape law and commons and hold territory. We spend far too much ink on how to insure good rule, government, rulers, and governors. And we cannot make a good ruler or governor. We spend too little ink on…
Loyalty: Forgoing Opportunities.
[L]OYALTY: Not seizing opportunities that impose costs upon the capital structure (genetic, normative, physical, institutional, territorial) that you and others have been contributing to. The limit of opportunity. (The family, tribe, and nation) James: Can “loyalty” also be the assumption or even shouldering of risks or costs, without a clear or immediate return? Curt Doolittle:…
Contra NRx’s Techno Commericalism
[W]hile technology (a)decreases the cost of relationship acquisition, (b)decreases the cost of property registries, (c) decreases the cost of and often need for, escrow services (financial transaction costs), (d) reduces the need for regulation, (e) decreases the cost of geographic and temporal constraints, technology does NOT change the fundamental problem of cooperation: the incremental suppression…
Love Reduces Transaction Costs
[L]OVE REDUCES COSTS –“Love reduces transaction costs, just as truth reduces transaction costs, just as law reduces transaction costs. Love is an economically rewarding investment.”— That’s the secret to western christendom.
Individual Law, Family Policy, National Defense
[T]he individual must be the subject of law; the family the subject of policy; and the nation the subject of the military. Misapplication of individualism is the origin of western suicide. An economy merely produces consumption. A family produces reproduction. Our purpose is either reproductive and perpetual or consumptive and temporary.
Tweak to Positioning the Enligthenents
[C]onversation on positioning with Don the other night. This is how I came away with a minor tweak to the positioning. Cosmopolitan Ashkenazi, Low Trust, Un-landed, Authoritarian, Anarcho Capitalism vs Aristocratic, Anglo, High Trust, Landed, Legal, Anarcho Capitalism vs Martial, Germanic, High Trust, Landed, Hierarchical, Tribal/Familial Capitalism. As far as I can tell the germans were…
Aristocratic vs Cosmopolitan Ancapism.
ARISTOCRATIC ANARCHO CAPITALISM VS COSMOPOLITAN ANARCHO CAPITALISM (from elsewhere) [B]oth Aristocratic (British, Critical, and Legal), and Cosmopolitan (Ashkenazi, Justificationary, and Moral) Anarchism, advance the open market. They are opposite methods of expressing the same argument:scientific prohibition and justificationary advocacy. Both evolved as ethno-centric evolutionary strategies: agrarian islanders evolving into seafaring traders, and diasporic pastoralists into…
Those Who Fear Truth – (Are Taking Discounts)
[T]he truth may be an advantage, neutral, or disadvantage for you. But if the truth is a disadvantage, that does not mean that we need to lie to preserve that advantage. Instead, we need to determine what we have to trade to restore it. But there are two reasons that we cannot conduct a trade…
Alt-Right, Reactionary, or Radical?
[M]y “thing” is truth. Propertarianism solves the problem of cooperation in morally heterogeneous societies by the construction of a market for commons just as we constructed a market for goods and services: but incrementally suppressing parasitism in the production of commons (government) just as we incrementally suppressed parasitism in the production of goods and services…
