PARTNERSHIP AS THE MORAL RULE OF BUSINESS

If you are lucky enough to choose the right people, and you work hard at it, the feeling of having partners in business, or in the business of building a nest, or in the business of raising a family – there is nothing like it.

I had a twenty year marriage with a partner I trusted and could talk to. I had a twenty year business relationship with a partner who I could (most of the time) talk to. An I have had investor relationships that you can talk to even under the most hostile of conditions, even when you are absolutely competitors, and you still understand one another and can act with trust.

Right now I have people who work with me as partners. And when you can just hammer on an issue, and come to one resolution after another with some comfort that you all have done your work of prosecuting an idea to the best extent that you can, there is no feeling in the world like it.

I see a lot of my fellow younger libertarians and I realize that the only thing stopping them from doing the same, is sufficient capital to prosecute and test an idea. One of the things I will always support the american way of life over any other country,is that it is far easier to do this in american than in any other place in the world I have yet found. our founders were business people and they made it possible and as yet the socialists haven’t succeeded in seeking sufficient rents against us that we are hobbled like europeans are.

White Europeans worry. White Americans just try. And you can see it spread into black and Hispanic populations. Jews have it by nature. Asians just need permission to separate from the group.

The secret to partnership is trying to make the other person happier than you make yourself. The secret to marriage is the same. The secret to commerce is the same.

The secret to life is the same.

The golden rule – do unto others.

The silver rule – do not unto others

And partnership means applying both.
