    I LOVE PUTTING ANOTHER SPEAR INTO ROTHBARDIAN LIBERTINISM

    I didn’t expect to come to the conclusion that the west’s advantage is truth telling.

    But if my argument against the NAP/IVP wasn’t enough of a moral one to provide ideological fervor to a population, the fact that libertinism is desirable by ‘the people who lie” and aristocracy desirable by “the people who tell the truth”, certainly is inspiring, morally inciting, and a single concept to which a movement can be reduced.

    “The People Who Speak The Truth”

    Everyone else lies. It’s pretty good. You can build a an ideology, a philosophy, a movement, a government, and a civilization on that principle.

    “The People Who Insure One Another’s Property With The Promise Of Violence”

    Everyone else is a free rider.

    “The People Who Choose Sovereignty Instead of Submission”

    Everyone else is merely a slave. And they deserve the results of their slavery.

    OK. WTH going on. What did I miss? Why do people in Ukraine now think Russia will invade their country in September?

  • EMPIRE OF LIES? IS RUSSIA A FAILED STATE? The author gives an accurate depiction

    http://skibinsky.com/no-russian/THE EMPIRE OF LIES? IS RUSSIA A FAILED STATE?

    The author gives an accurate depiction of how Ukraine escaped the Moscow Mafia. But is he correct in his somewhat colloquial analysis of the russian government? I think so. Economists agree. Although not in such unpleasant terms.

    Too bad. I had great hopes for russia. I love russians and russian culture. But can they do what the Ukrainian’s have done? Throw out the mafia? I don’t think so. Half the country is on the dole.

  • Well. I am in uncharted territory now. Not sure anyone can help me at this point

    Well. I am in uncharted territory now. Not sure anyone can help me at this point. Maybe, given that it has taken me this many years to solve these problems, I can have a few days vacation.

    To relax. Think about business. Family, friends.

    Is that why there are no other high trust people? The remoteness and homogeneity of the north sea?

    Because that kind if gullibility is a catastrophic vulnerability?

    “Curt, why do you post where people disagree with you and you disagree with them?”

    My first impulse is to say thats a profoundly stupid question. Are you sure you want to ask it?

    The next most obvious response is to ask what I will learn from people who agree with me.

    Of course the answer is scientific: because I learn more.

  • Great day. Two profound insights. I am so happy that I understand it all that I

    Great day. Two profound insights. I am so happy that I understand it all that I almost don’t care if anyone else does. 🙂 But that would be too selfish. Immoral even.

    What is left really? I’m going through it. The list. Metaphysics, Truth, Epistemology, Ethics, Economics, Politics, Aesthetics? Is there anything left that I don’t understand yet? I suppose there is always room for improvement. I suppose I can always expand application. So i suppose there really is no end to it. But I at least THINK i’ve completed my attempt to understand how we westerners were vulnerable to pseudoscientific mysticism, why our civilization collapses, how to articulate our history, and how to defend against future assaults on it by empty verbalism masquerading as truth.

    I guess there are a few economic problems that I don’t understand. I am not confident yet that the inflation question is controllable, and insurance maintainable under the various MMT schemes. I am not even sure I can solve that myself. Maybe I don’t need to. Maybe just stating it at this point is the best we can do.

    I guess, I don’t see anything necessarily wrong with german philosophy other than it’s all a desperate attempt to restore the authority of the church. But while it’s untrue, that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily bad in its application. I suppose I should clarify my position on Germany (Sparta) a bit if I’m going to pose this argument as a tale of three cultures.

    When I first came to this resort I was pretty frustrated that I couldn’t put these last few bits together, but I managed anyway – even though I felt off kilter most of the time we have been here.

    So maybe I need to just ruminate a bit, go through the TOC and see what I still am not comfortable with.

    Then I’m sure I”ll find some hole or other. I always seem to. Although I’m a little lost right now as to where to start looking…..

    Humans are really fascinating.
