OK, so aside from possessing an inspirational wit and talent with words, Eli Harman is a very good looking, giant of a man. Gotta get a photographer to do some pro headshots of this guy, and start converting his little bits of genius into Memes. You’re marketable. The market wants your product. Brand building big guy. 🙂 Love you man.
—Liberty will win because it is the most robust sort of authoritarianism.–
—You can kill a king, you can kill a dictator, you can subvert a democracy. But against millions of free people, each possessing the means to end you when they wish, what can you do? Only lie. And only so long as they let you.—
—It used to be said that “a policeman beats within every Prussian breast.” This is something to aim for, something, indeed, to surpass.—
—The US is an empire of lies. Everything about it is a lie. The Constitution is a lie. The politicians are liars. The bureaucrats and functionaries are liars. The cops are liars. The “laws” are lies. The judges are liars. The lobbyists are liars. The intellectuals are liars. The media are liars. The diplomats are liars. The intelligence apparatus is a bunch of the biggest liars of all. It’s time for a hot truth injection, and the truth comes in many calibers.—
—“The job of our elite is to identify lies and punish liars. Unfortunately, they’ve joined in. Now we must punish our elites.”—
—“But, that’s just a social construct!” “No, it’s my nature. My nature is to prefer the social constructs that work to the ones that don’t work.”—
—In the west, we have high-trust societies. Trust is a form of credit. To extend trust is to extend credit. Either can be abused. In either case, there is risk. No credit is bad credit. If you wish to live in a high-trust society then it is reasonable to ask whether you have established your trustworthiness and how. If you have not, it would be reasonable to insist that you post a bond. If your word is your bond, great. But if (for whatever reason) your word is not enough, then you’d better front cash.—
—I can’t imagine a surer recipe for misery then going through life expecting it to be fair.—
