    PROPERTARAINISM ALLOWS YOU TO WRITE PROOFS.

    Now, a proof is not a ‘truth’, it is a test of existential possibility. It just says something is possible. That’s all it tells you. But just as a proof in math helps you grasp very complex processes, a proof in human action allows you to grasp very complex processes.

    Propertarian proofs are not much harder to write than mathematical proofs. There are a very limited number of operations, and a very limited number of categories of property to consider.

    Within a year or two I will be able to teach people how to write praxeological ‘proofs’, to either test if something is possible, or challenge whether something is possible.

    At that point, psychology will be limited to the study of cognitive biases, and economics will be divided into deceptions (disinformation by policy) and truths (institutional improvements in the means of cooperation).

    And we will be able to demonstrate how to write strictly constructed law free of judicial activism.

    http://johnquiggin.com/2015/06/15/john-locke-an-enemy-of-freedom/LEFTIST QUIGGIN IS AT IT AGAIN.

    Some small percent of any thinker’s ideas survive the test of time. We acknowledge these thinkers for their surviving ideas – the duration of an idea as a capital asset. Those ideas that do not survive the test of time are irrelevant.

    The only reason to argue that an individual is or is not morally something or other, is if one is attributing authority to the individual, rather than to the asset value of his surviving ideas.

    In other words, John’s post is an authoritarian and unscientific argument against an authoritarian and unscientific hypothesis.

    Aristotle was wrong about almost everything. But that does not diminish that of the thinkers in the age of transformation, that he was not more ‘right’ and therefore more influential than all other thinkers combined.

    He gave us a way of thinking. Locke gave us a way of thinking.

    (BTW: The Catholics were just as damaging to the Rule of Law as Locke and his contemporaries supposed. They were certainly catastrophically damaging to the American constitution and American rule of law. And that’s before we get to Socialism and Judaism. Australia, like Canada, is one of the most privileged nations on earth, and Australians are notorious for confusing and conflating virtue with luxury and signaling.)

    LOVE DOES NOT MEAN WE ABANDON REASON. IT MEANS WE RETAIN PATERNALISM.

    The Christian ideal of extirpation of hatred from the Human Heart does not mean that at the same time we abandon reason. To require capital and rule of law and property rights be brought to people in order to improve the objective morality of their norms, rather than people brought to capital, rule of law, property rights and high trust in order to degrade the host’s capital, rule of law, property rights, and high trust.

    (ideas. This is what happens when I get enough sleep) 🙂

    I’ve been working on religion since I think January? Finally making minute progress. I have this feeling that somehow I have to reform Christianity. And until recently I thought that was impossible. But just as we need different narratives for every standard deviation of IQ, so do we need social mythos for every standard deviation in IQ. And while stoicism is a personal philosophy, and law is a political philosophy, Janus is looking much more interesting an idea for a religious philosophy at the moment. Gods speak to us in the language we can understand. To do otherwise would be ungodlike.

    —“This meaning of “liquidity” isn’t market thickness, nor is it deep pocketed arbitrageurs — it is ownership of a lot of liquid securities. This is the early 20th century meaning as in “liquidity preference” a phrase which is, as far as I know, used in the 21st century only by Brad DeLong.”—

  • CHRISTIAN LOVE AND PROPERTARIANISM If you haven’t noticed, I’ve bought the love

    CHRISTIAN LOVE AND PROPERTARIANISM

    If you haven’t noticed, I’ve bought the love thing hook line and sinker. I tell other men I love them on a daily basis. And it’s infectious. We don’t support each other enough.

    Our culture tells us to be stalwart stoic warriors in the germanic tradition. But we no longer have normative means of obtaining positive reinforcement for our actions – thanks largely to feminists.

    So we have to take matters into our own hands. The red pill means not just that we love ourselves, but that we love other men. And tell them so, when they do works in our interest.

    Technically, Propertarianism tells us only to suppress parasitism (free riding/imposed costs). But Aristocratic Egalitarianism tells us to treat with brotherly love, all who engage in abstinence of parasitism, act as sheriff to police it, militia to defend it, and warrior to demand it.

    There is precious little in Propertarianism that was not in Aristocratic Christianity, Mithraism, and the initiatic brotherhood of indo European warriors that led to the construction of the Vedas.

    We are man’s aristocracy.

    Shall we abandon man to immorality?

    Or shall we lead him to universal love and abstinence from parasitism?

    Lets lead.

    They failed.

    We must take back rule.

    Leave them government,

    but take back rule.

    (beauty)(diversity)(manospehere)

    —“Today, that person is less conventional and arguably odder-looking than ever before. Brokaw favors the kind of model more memorable than she is pretty. What fashion editors have long euphemistically called jolie-laide, she calls “strong.” The faces she chooses are sometimes merely a bit off-kilter but often undeniably weird and in some cases visibly asymmetrical. In print, they can seem outright radical, especially when compared to the burnished Brazilian goddesses and feline Russians of the recent past. —

    —“interracial marriage (oddness), a high G.D.P. (predictive of good teeth) and protein-rich diets (good for turning out tall but trim citizens).”—

    PEAK HUMAN?

    OMG. What if we have passed ‘peak human’ already? What if it is not possible to improve upon late hunter gatherer genetics, and that urbanization has produced increasingly aggressive, less intelligent, more impulsive peoples?

    What if inbreeding, low IQ, higher aggression, and higher reproduction are a superior evolutionary strategy?
