  • WHY DO WE WANT NON-IMPOSITION OF COSTS AGAINST DEMONSTRATED PROPERTY AS A MEANS

    WHY DO WE WANT NON-IMPOSITION OF COSTS AGAINST DEMONSTRATED PROPERTY AS A MEANS OF PRESERVING COOPERATION?

    Because 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 and take his stuff rather than allow myself to be subject to low trust, low economic velocity, high transaction costs, constant parasitism, and feeding and funding of competitors?

    The answer is that I prefer rapid killing, raping and taking to slow parasitic conquest.

    Westerners take the christian ethic beyond its limits. All theories have limits. That is why there are no certain premises. Forgiving error and buying cooperation by forgiving a parasitism, is not the same as feeding parasites who them compete with and conquer you.

    Conquest is evidence of the failure of genes and ideas.

    CHRISTIAN LOVE IS A ‘PUT’: A SPECULATIVE INVESTMENT NOT A UNIVERSAL GOOD.

    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. 😉

  • TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN’ : MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE Roman got engaged yesterday to

    TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN’ : MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE

    Roman got engaged yesterday to lovely Yulia. I hope they breed the brood that they both desire. Roman is my closest friend, business partner, advisor, editor. Yulia is ‘the kind of woman you want to marry’. As you know, I think the family is a sacred and beautiful thing.

    At the same time, I have done just the opposite. Most people know that Veronika and I had a marriage of convenience. I have been living on the other side of the country for much of the past year. It is not that we were not close friends, we were, but it was not a marriage in practice. It is no longer convenient. And as most of you know, while we were great friends, we are not at all compatible. Or as one friend says a ‘Misalliance’. So I have filed for divorce. As such, I have found that it is better to state truth early, than try to counter rumors. There is nothing here that close friends do know know or expect.

    Given that she is such a great friend, I hope some smart person out there that has met her at PFS or through the Libertarian movement, or knows her through me sees this as an opportunity. (Especially if you’re taller than I am.) Even though I am attractive to a certain type of woman, I am nearly impossible to live with – as you can imagine. And she can put up with anything. 😉 V is a lot of fun, cunning, and can see through people to their core at a glance.

    I thank her for all she has done for me, and that we have done together. But it’s time to move forward for both of us.

    Cheers

  • OVERTURNING NAP WITH NAP/IVP AND NAP/DP NAP does not make a legal framework btw.

    OVERTURNING NAP WITH NAP/IVP AND NAP/DP

    NAP 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 Ghetto Ethics) are insufficient incentive for the establishment or maintenance of a voluntary polity since the transaction costs alone are sufficient to drive demand for authoritarianism as a means of suppressing retaliation.

    NAP/Property-en-toto (Aristocratic Warrior Ethics) provide sufficient incentive to eliminate demand for authority since the scope of law is sufficient to provide a means of dispute resolution (retaliation) regardless of method or scope.

    The problem we face in constructing a voluntary polity is that the law must provide sufficient suppression of parasitism (aggression against that which others have expended resources to obtain) such that there is no incentive to demand the state as a means of dispute resolution.

    Rothbard’s NAP/IVP is an insufficient basis for law and cannot produce an anarchic polity(civil society), while AHT/PT is a sufficient basis for law and can produce an anarchic polity (civil society).

  • YES, BUT **WHICH** NON-AGGRESSION PRINCIPLE? Non Aggression, or the Non Aggressi

    YES, BUT **WHICH** NON-AGGRESSION PRINCIPLE?

    Non 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 deception by suggestion.

    The question is the possibility of constructing an anarchic polity using the prohibition on aggression.

    But aggression against what?

    A) Rothbardian Non-aggression against Intersubjectively Verifiable Property

    –VS–

    B) Aristocratic Non-aggression against Demonstrated Property En Toto?

    The only means of providing an anarchic polity that is preferable to a non-anarchic polity, is by aristocratic ethics. Otherwise a low trust environment with high transaction costs is not preferable – and particularly not preferable to those with expensive capital to protect, and complex production to engage in.

    The NAP hacks western altruism by prohibiting aggression, which the westerner intuits as true, but only against intersubjectively verifiable property, which once understood, the westerner rightly deems immoral and irrational.

    Blackmail is the canary in the ideological coal mine. Blackmail causes retaliation because it imposes an unwanted and unnecessary cost, and breaks the contract for cooperation.

    Rothbard’s ethics produce ghettos, Mafias, and create demand for authority.

    The only reason to advance ghetto ethics is to justify parasitism and attempt to outlaw retaliation.

    Shot a looooong video with Don today. I’m going to edit my notes and post them here before hand. Don’s fantastic. We had a good time. And the pack of beautiful women in the audience drinking champagne and eating fruit and cheese were not a distraction.

    Looks like later today we are going to shoot a video. Subject is uniting christian civilization into a division of labor, now that the enlightenment efforts have all failed. Meaning how to repair american idealism and russian nihilism.
