    The reason I frame propertarianism as philosophy, despite that it is a social science (system of measurement) is to kill the ability to use philosophy to lie. End postmodern pseudoscience.

    THE RED PILL IN UKRAINE

    I have taken the red pill, even though I never really needed a big dose of it in the first place. You should have seen my wife’s face when I said “I am not a support system for a vagina. Either this relationship is beneficial in achieving both our goals or it is not.”

    On the other hand I have always believed in helping the women I am with to be all that they can be, and I come from a family of strong women who never see themselves as proletarian victims. And I don’t buy any feminist nonsense at all.

    The problem for me, here in Ukraine, is that the level of ..let’s say, suppression, that I would have to engage in is beyond my tolerance level. I am just not willing to become that person. Women are fiercely proud here, never apologize the way we are taught to in the west, and in my view speak unacceptably to men. Because here, they have to. And, men often respond with unacceptable (to me) levels of physicality. I am not willing to behave that way. I still have enough chivalry in me. People in this part of the world don’t.

    Talking with a friend tonight, (who I respect very much) reminded me that you can take the red pill in the states. But you don’t need to take it here. And while I’ve taken the red pill, I am willing to return to chivalry. But if I must abandon chivalry, I’d rather not play in that game at all. It’s chivalry as a demonstration of confidence and capability, not it’s more primitive component, physicality, passionate anger, and violence.

    The Red Pill returns us to Chivalry. But here, its barbarism. I won’t go there.

    A long sword is a metal spear. A short sword a longer knife. Sword fighting is a brutal brawl with knives, not fencing.

    –“A Norwegian businessman explained to me the other day that he comes to Lviv often because Scandinavia has become a place completely devoid of femininity. I think it lazy, however, to blame the women. Men must realize that it has been decades since we were masculine. When was the last time you rose when a woman arrived at your table? wore a suit to the airport? fixed a leak in your sink? or had a fist fight?”-Don Finnegan

  • Maybe I am locked in a struggle though. I am locked in a struggle for the truth

    Maybe I am locked in a struggle though. I am locked in a struggle for the truth against the cult of mysticism, obscurantism, deception and justification.

    Truth is a great argument to base Aristocratic Egalitarianism and Propertarianism upon. It is very hard to defeat.

    Their only possible response is “I prefer to lie”.

    Just had a thought last night as I questioned my own work: If one’s bias is one of conflict prevention, then what? Thats my bias (obviously from a childhood with too much conflict in it). How do I check my own bias?

    So while I agree with the argument that all human discourse is signaling, negotiating, and justification, I wonder if not all biases are non-neutral.

    Because a bias in favor of compatibilism rather than ‘winning’ seems to produce positive externalities, not biased ones.

    i like your point about externalities.

    i also think that if you are not part of a team locked in struggle with another team, you are more likely to see the truth.

    THE “PASS THE BUCK PRESIDENT”

    “Obama Strategy: Claim ignorance, blame subordinates, hope people forget…”

    For the Austrians isn’t this the ultimate example of high time preference? We know progressives are the least rational group. So why do we let them participate in politics? Where politics is merely a proxy for violence.

    The argument developing in geopolitics, is that the world war has not ended. This is a different take on the clash of civilizations. As far as I can tell we either must break into smaller nations that gradually ameliorate our differences over the terrain or we must, as china did, develop totalitarian conquest. The lower trust countries, as the majority, now empowered with consumer capitalism, will be able to once again crush us. Just as they always have. Our respite has ended.
