“SELF OWNERSHIP IS FOR CHILDREN, THE WEAK, THE LAZY AND COWARDS”
Unfortunately you ‘aren’t’ anything other than a bag of mostly water, and rights only exist when they have been created by an act of promise or contract.
As such you may DEMAND, or WANT to be treated as the owner of your body, and therefore are seeking CUSTOMERS for your offer, and those customers will offer you the same deal in exchange – albeit with differing degrees of warranty. But until that point you ‘have’ no ‘right’. You cannot. It cannot be made to exist without the action of exchange.
So if you are willing to fight hard enough that you raise the cost of your subjugation to the point at which those who prefer to subjugate you prefer to engage in the reciprocal exchange of rights to self, life, mind, and body, then you may per-chance, obtain that property right in exchange for your offer of that property right.
But until you raise the cost of your subjugation such that it is more profitable to give you a right to your self, life, mind and body, it is absolutely demonstrable – empirically, logically demonstrable – that you do NOT in fact, possess such a right.
Nonsense appeals to ‘rights’ like nonsense appeals to pseudoscience are the modern equivalent religious comforts and promises of life after death. They are just nonsense appeals to make you feel comfortable as a slave with some hope of savior by technology, democracy, Arthur, Jesus, or God.
Nonsense is for children who fear monsters under the bed, those who need comfort on their death beds, slaves who much suffer without relief, and the lazy and cowardly who fear to act. Use of nonsense words means one is a child, lost to life, lazy or coward.
The only right you possess is the one you obtain in exchange. And that which you receive in exchange, like that which you obtain by homesteading, is only yours because you act to defend it with your life.
Wishes are free. Words are cheap. Actions are dear.
Freedom is purchased by strong arms and pointed weapons.
Everything else is nonsense-words.
Leave the false prophecy of the Libertines behind. Come to Aristocracy. We know better: Violence and time are the only wealth you were born with. Spend them wisely.

I had a bad day yesterday (budgets) but today when I use oversing I see it as something very amazing that we just need a little more time to demonstrate. It has been two years of hard work. But you can start to feel the Facebook experience coming together for the workplace. And I think that if FB does come to the workplace we will still hold the upmarket position. But whether we do or not in that market, we will crush the existing market and I am still thinking we have a 100M product on our hands.

Gender and Class Distributions: Outliers do not help us with general rules, they only tell us not to erect barriers. Distributions tell us general rules. You cannot construct a civilization out of outliers. That is a contradiction in terms.

Yeah. I get now why westerners are good judges, advertisers, salesmen, and craftsmen, and why slavs and particularly Russians are such good engineers and mathematicians and chess players, but not really very good scientists.
Catholics also make better philosophers than protestants. For similar reasons.
Metaphysics matters. And Metaphysics is determined by your perception of relations with man. We extrapolate that to the physical world because we cannot escape our biases.
I have been struggling with this forever.

OVERSING UPDATE: ACTIVITY STREAM, CHAT, and MENTIONS
Well, now Oversing’s Activity Stream and Chat are done. It’s a joy to work with. (although I still want the workspace to be at 65% of scale and the chat and activity windows to be We are also including Peer-to-peer Video Chat, but I want to postpone that until after beta.
Interesting: we wrestled with chats and the context of the chats. So in FB the people are the context, and what people refer to is irrelevant. But in Oversing we want everything in context. So you can open a chat with a context as a participant. But we just can’t get it done for Beta. But afterward, you’ll be able to treat contexts as participants and therefore keep record of communications in context of the work you’re doing.
I haven’t seen anyone else do that. Not that they haven’t, but I haven’t seen it.
We have ‘mentions’ (@name) in activity streams and we will shortly have topic mentions (# topic ) and finally we will have context mentions ( @@ context or && context) in them. So then if you go to the page for the topic, you can see the mentions in the activity stream and pull up the conversation just as you pull up a conversation in chat with a person today. We have also put in a chat tab to access your chats on any person or topic. It’s cool.
I just can’t get it all done by the beta release. (The purpose of a beta is to help us find bugs. It is not an excuse to release a product.)

MALE AND FEMALE DIVISION OF LABOR
History: women make children and women. Men make men. Women think as they do in order to make children and women. Men think as they do to make men. Women craft human material. Men craft civilization. It’s genetic. We can get SOME women to craft civilization also, just as we can get some men to raise children. But in the main, as a general rule, women and men divide genetic labor. And nothing will change that – ever.

THE WESTERN MISALLOCATION OF INVESTMENT IN THE WESTERN PORTFOLIO
(another way of putting it)(becoming levantines)
We have over invested in improving the structure of production to the point at which we are causing catastrophic harm.
We have over invested in government to the point at which we are causing catastrophic harm to the family and civilization.
We have over-invested in the export of rule of law and democracy to the point at which we have caused harm.
We have over-invested in the academy to the point at which it causes systemic harm on a daily basis.
We have UNDER invested in the family, in discipline, in training, and in education.
This over-investment is the result of fiat credit – and it is not investment at this point -it is merely burning down four thousand years of the west’s accumulated cultural capital. We are becoming Levantines.
**Do less interference. Consume less. Spend more time on your children.**
Cultures save because they can. Other cultures don’t save and invest, because they can’t. We created commons because we could. They didn’t because they can’t.
