    Cooperative Reciprocity on Insurance != Coordinative Reciprocity on Goals.

    We can possess different ends, yet cooperate on means (the market).

    We can cooperate on insurance (liberty), without cooperating on coordination (production).

    ROASTED SWAN.

    —***Swans are best served thoroughly roasted, so that all the internal parasites are guaranteed to be dead.***—

    lol

    Here is the thing kiddies.

    Greg isn’t ‘outing’ me. I write 10-20k words a day on how libertines like yourselves are just free riders begging for liberty by means of ridicule and wishful thinking rather than organizing and using violence to prevent predation upon us.

    I shout it from the rooftops: I’m restoring libertarianism to aristocracy where it originated, and pointing the accusatory finger of excuse-making-free-rider begging for liberty-by-permission at folks like you.

    I’m open about restoring violence to liberty. No one is ‘outing’ me unless they’re just hiding under a left-libertine rock somewhere.

    The only method of possessing liberty is force. FOrce is a neutral construct. One can use force to construct property rights, and one can use force do destroy or prevent the formation of property rights.

    The question is not whether we use force, it is whether we use force (and numbers) to impose our will in favor of property rights, or whether we gossip and shame like a bunch of schoolgirls and old jewish men for permission to pretend we live in a condition of liberty.

    There is only one source of liberty: the use of violence, boycott, ostracization, and threat, to construct rule of law, using the common law, with universal standing, under natural law – meaning the total prohibition of the imposition of costs upon that which others have obtained by homesteading, or productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary transfer, limited to externality of the same.

    ( And to “pull a Kinsella”, it’s not like I haven’t had an absurdly successful life – despite three major illnesses. And I’m rich, hella-better looking, and have hella-better looking women. And live a hella-better life.   )

    I eat whiners like greg with my poached eggs on toast, arabica bean cappucino, and freshly squeezed orange juice.

    Why: Cause I’m a big-boy not a pussy that hasn’t made it out of intellectual puberty.

    You see, in my aristocratic world, it’s immoral to let losers use deceit (ridicule) as a substitute for truth. So it’s my job, and the job of all men of character, to cleanse the commons of the intellectually, emotionally, morally, and politically, infantilized.

    The correct response (Greg) to my statement “I own that I am difficult to understand” was not to return ridicule, but to respond in kind. In other words, to engage in the moral principle of reciprocity without which no voluntary exchange of information exists.

    But instead you demonstrate that you are a free-rider in argument as well.

    I am very good at what I do. If it is not useful for you then that is understandable. But if you initiate aggression against me – as you have done – then I must, as a moral man, defeat you.

    Which won’t exactly tax me. Why? ‘Cause you’re just another adopter of jewish-marxist- cosmopolitan gossip, psychologizing, rallying and shaming.

    In ethic and in argument you’re just a jewish-libertine free riding on the warriors, sheriff’s, and judges that make your pathetic whining existence possible.

    You’re a script-kiddie to a hacker. A child in halloween costume vs a roman general. A star wars character to a homeric hero.

    And the only response you can make is the feminine one: turn your head and shame to show your disapproval like a little school girl.

    You see. You don’t get it. Every swing you take at me is an opportunity to proselytize, and demonstrate the difference between your femininity and my masculinity.

    STRATEGY:

    1) Return the ridicule.

    2) Return to the central premise.

    3) Repeat.

    Truth is tedious but in the end we win. Why? Even stupid people are not all that stupid. They eventually cognate through repetition, what they formerly intuited. This is why advertising works.

    If any of Greg’s readers want to upgrade to the adult table, I welcome you. We serve meat and potatoes argument. Not rallying and shaming of little girls.

    Now I know that Greg is trying to play his girl-game. But the fact is, apologies are accepted. Strategic error is forgivable.

    Curt.

  • MEN, WOMEN, FRIENDSHIPS, OPPORTUNITIES, AND DISCOUNTS Men tend to have a larger

    MEN, WOMEN, FRIENDSHIPS, OPPORTUNITIES, AND DISCOUNTS

    Men tend to have a larger number of looser friendships, and women a small number of deeper friendships.

    This is partly because of how we judge each other – women need psychological similarity whereas men need utilitarian similarity.

    It is also a matter of what we do with friends. And what we need friends for. Women put men in the friend zone for certain reasons: capital extraction. (discounts).

    Men put women in the friend zone for three reasons: long options on sex, long options on her associations, long options on her emotional support (as a psychologist).

    And men put men in the friend zone for lots of reasons: the safety of the pack. assistance in self improvement. Options on opportunities. And someone to imitate or learn one or more skills from.

    Now also, men have many strategies available to us: research information to create opportunities. Create relationships and collect and exchange information to identify opportunities. Organize in pursuit of opportunities. Produce and opportunistically seize identifiable opportunities. Produce consistently independent of possible opportunities. Produce as little, consume as little, and relax as much as possible. These strategies depend upon our natural abilities. (this is probably something that doesn’t occur to people)

    I would say that if you mean that we should be cautious with others rent-seeking and discounting, that this is true as far as it goes.

    I think it is better to seek to understand the individual male’s strategy, and to limit one’s self to it.

    I mean, those guys in college that figure out how to make money doing just about everything – they are amazing. But so is the scientist and so is the craftsman, and so is the laborer.

    I think what isn’t amazing – what we must watch out for – is a disconnect between a man’s abilities and his strategy.

    The same for women. I think we are too easily led (I certainly am) by their attention, when we have zero option of obtaining returns.

    Parasitism is not unique to gender. We are just wired to tolerate the parasitism of women because options (lottery tickets) on sex are so valuable to us.

    Men give women attention, the way that the poor buy lottery tickets: a very, very, very remote hope that they know will never occur. So that they buy the experience of the fantasy.

    So I think your (James) message is to preserve all your capital. But I am too well aware that every person I meet is a cheap put on opportunity, and I treat them as such. Hence, make a good impression but always be too busy to invest in the fulfillment of others’ opportunities unless it benefits you as much or more than them.

    In business I usually say this “Work with partners with whom you have equal economic interest”. Otherwise you do not have the same interests.

    Cheers

    THE SNAKE EATS ITS TAIL: THE SIGNAL-CRASH OF SOCIALISTS

    —“Bakunin – more than a century ago – observed that socialists are liable to under-cut each other under the influence of tribalism. It’s all good music to me.”— Ayelam Valentine Agaliba

    There are many variations of “you eventually run out of other people’s money”… You also run out of civilizational, institutional, cultural, economic, normative, and genetic capital.

    If you want more, produce more.

  • THE PURPOSE OF A UNIVERSITY EDUCATION: SORTITION There is no course in universit

    THE PURPOSE OF A UNIVERSITY EDUCATION: SORTITION

    There is no course in university that is not better found in books – for much less money. But education is not the purpose of the university: filtering is.

    University does provide an environmental laundry with which to cleanse yourself of the idiocy of the majority, and carry on discourse in non-colloquial terms. It allows you to associate with the ’employable’.

    So, if you are talented, employable, or able to employ others, then the purpose of university is to seek opportunity. And to leave as soon as you have found it there.

    If you are untalented but conformist, the purpose of university is not to fail – to show you can endure following direction ( “sucking dick” ). Most of life requires calmly and predictably following direction.

    If you are both talented and can enjoy following direction, then you can do a term as slave labor, and increase your debt, by going to graduate school.

    If you are untalented, and unwilling to follow direction (“suck dick”), then the purpose of university is to take the only four year vacation that you will have for the rest of your life.

    At the end of your ‘tour’ you will be certified as employable for having found a way to muddle through without getting ‘fired’ (discharged).

    And you will have been property sorted into unemployable, tolerably employable, beneficially employable, training others to be employable, and entrepreneurial.

    The university sorts. In truth, the university sorts before the first day in the classroom. After that it’s just survival.

    Because wage labor is a matter of survival.
