Feminists: Be Careful What You Wish For
[T]he first problem for any society is to find positive incentives for men. Feminism seeks to position men as oppressors – instead of our traditional roles as a compromise. But it is a compromise for both genders. For most of us, Islamic paternal domination, and daily tribal warfare, or African enslavement of women is a…
Does The United States Subtly Prevent Canada From Becoming More Powerful?
Contrary to Canadian religious practice of self-congratulation, Canada is not powerful. It is merely wealthy. And it is wealthy because it benefits from the following accidents:1) a border with an empire nearly unequalled in human history. Oceans on all other borders.2) enormous natural resources it does not need to defend, build a culture of defense,…

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into…

Warriors Grant Permission
[I]f you aren’t willing to fight, then your opinion is irrelevant. Pacifism was merely a convenient pretense to provide women, intellectuals and priests with the illusion of equal political standing. It is just a pretense. Warriors grant them permission.
Austrian Economics Studies Facilitating Voluntary Exchanges Rather than Forced Transfers
[W]hen we attempt to promote Austrian Economics, we could, if we were intelligent, state that our interests are merely in developing institutions that facilitate voluntary exchanges, rather than mainstream economics, which attempts to maximize involuntary transfers. In other words, we practice moral economics, and mainstream practices immoral economics. It does no good whatsoever for advocates…
How Does A Country Get A Good Balance Between Socialism And Capitalism?
I’ll back up TJ Claridge’s post and say that you’re misusing the terms. I think you mean to say, how much interference in the economy by the government produces a Pareto Optimum? We call this a mixed economy. That is, a capitalist economy (which is the only economy possible long term), with social democratic redistribution…
When Did The Us Become Such A Litigious Country?
THIS IS A GOOD BUT MISUNDERSTOOD QUESTION America practices the common law of anglo saxon origin, in which all things are permitted except that which is extant in law. This is different from the rest of the world’s model – especially the Napoleonic – in which only that which is in law, is permitted. So…
North America: Why Is The Dominant Racial/ethnic Narrative Between ‘white’ America And ‘black’ America When The State Of ‘native’ America Ought To Be Addressed First?
There is no ‘ought’ in politics between groups. Politics consists of: is, can, cannot between groups. Oughts are an in-group question. The reason being that while we may sacrifice for our kin (kin selection), we only cooperate with our non-kin (utilitarian). If non-kin cause us sacrifice, then that is parasitism, not cooperation, and certainly not…
Does The U.s. Really Have Good Friends?
States do not have friends. They have allies with similar interest. A friend bears a sacrifice on your behalf. An ally provides assistance in times of mutual interest. So no. No country has ‘friends’. Even asking the question is a naive application of interpersonal relationships to international relations. https://www.quora.com/Does-the-U-S-really-have-good-friends
What Are Some Things The Us Can Learn From Other Cultures?
Individualism in law is different from individualism in policy. Law must of necessity apply to the individual. Policy of necessity must apply to the family. We have abandoned the family as the central unit of production. And we have abandoned the family. And we are paying the consequences of it. https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-things-the-US-can-learn-from-other-cultures
The Birth of Individualism In The North Sea Peoples
(must read)(from hbd chick) [I]ndividualism: (book) Northern europeans began to think of — or at least write about — themselves as individuals beginning in the eleventh century a.d. [pgs. 158, 160, and 64-67 – bolding and links inserted by me]: “The discovery of the individual was one of the most important cultural [*ahem*] developments in…
Evolving High Trust AND Nepotistic Culture is Not Possible. Constructing It *IS*.
[S]o, how does one construct a high trust NEPOTISTIC, inbred culture, instead of a high trust Non-nepotistic, outbred culture? Well, that’s very simple. Because organically evolving an institution is very different from intentionally implementing an institution. As such, the rule of law, under propertarian property rights of property-en-toto, forces institutional development of high trust, while…
How They Killed Us the First Time, Is How They Kill Us The Second
Justinian closed the Stoic schools, to make people easier to manipulate, and lies more effective means by which to govern.Stoicism is an aristocratic personal religion.Polytheism is a public religion of social rituals.Monotheism is a political crime, a moral crime, and a crime against humanity.Just as economic monopoly is a political crime, a moral crime, and…

Responsibility
—“Whether we use the Roman term “stoicism,” or we discuss Germanic warlords, or Japanese samurai, we’re talking about the same thing. Stoicism is the calm acceptance of responsibility. It is the acceptance that I am responsible for what I am capable of controlling. “—
How Can I Become A Libertarian?
Liber-TINES are under ideological pressure. And their movement is an abject failure. Liber-TARIANS (Classical Liberals) are at least if not more so fervent as they were in the past. You cannot ‘become’ a political bias. It’s very likely a genetic preference that reflects your reproductive strategy. What you can “become” is an advocate of of…
How Do You Make Programmers Work 60-80 Hours Per Week?
The answer, as a political economist, is this: Why are you trying to obtain a discount on the cost of software development by obtaining two employees worth of work from one employee? I mean, that’s the honest question? If instead, you ask, “why do some programmers like to work 80 hours a week, and others…
