    SPEAK IN A MANNER COMPREHENSIBLE TO THE COMMON PEOPLE

    “To speak in a manner intelligible to the multitude, and to comply with every general custom that does not hinder the attainment of our purpose. For we can gain from the multitude no small advantages, provided that we strive to accommodate ourselves to its understanding as far as possible: moreover, we shall in this way gain a friendly audience for the reception of the truth.”

    – Baruch Spinoza

    He could have put a footnote in there about how damned hard it is. 🙂

    POSTMODERNISM AS THE INVERSE OF CRITICAL RATIONALISM

    “Critical rationalism recommends that we should focus all of our effort on a search for truth in the absolute sense, and that we should jettison any attempt to justify. Postmodernism does the opposite. It recommends that we should focus all of our effort on a search for justification, and that we should jettison any attempt to discover the truth in any sense whatever.” – Kenneth Allen Hopf

    RANDOM ACTS OF CHARITY

    I do stupid little stuff all the time.

    I bought the security guards coffee yesterday.

    I stuck 500H (about 60 bucks) in an old lady’s pocket today, while idling on a corner.

    I offered to buy two people I’ve only met once dinner at a restaurant they can’t afford.

    Just little stuff.

    And I can personally attest that the data is correct: doing stupid little stuff for other people makes you incredibly happy.

    Now, I don’t have the fortitude like our friend Scott (in Seattle) does. I mean,he’s the real thing. A real christian hero.

    So It’s not the kind of thing that you get into eternity for.

    But it certainly makes you happier.

    And I’m pretty sure it makes the world a better place.

    Just a little bit.

    At the age of I think seven or eight I got a piece of horoscope paper that said “You are capable of amassing a fortune.” You wouldn’t believe that an impact that suggestion had on me.

    Well, having made a couple of fortunes now. I gotta say, that I’m glad I did it. That I’ve proven I can do it. When my book is done I’ll have accomplished everything I had desired in life. (Assuming I finish it before I get run over by a bus, or struck by lightening.)

    But the idea of just enjoying life like most people do seems really awesome.

    So. Here is a toast to living life for the purpose of enjoying it.

    THERE IS NO ANTI WAR LEFT

    Yet another in the long list self congratulatory nonsense.

    The left is a kleptocracy. Organized theft.

    It has no principles except theft.

    Wherever and whenever possible.

    At least this amateur has advisors that have explained what will happen to americans if Iran succeeds in establishing itself as the core state of islam.

    So now the simpleton who like all left ideologues, is forced to confront the reality that conservatives are just boring pragmatists.

    By becoming a pragmatist himself.

    I hate this drivel.

    Let iran rise and america decline. If youre stupid enough to follow the left then you deserve to descend. Ti have our middle class evaporate, then our upper class follow.

    The only equality is poverty.

  • LIBERTARIAN MISSION 1) CORRECTION To correct libertarian morality by completing

    LIBERTARIAN MISSION

    1) CORRECTION

    To correct libertarian morality by completing it with propertarian morality necessary and sufficient to preserve a high trust society.

    2) RECONSTRUCTION

    To reconstruct libertarianism relying entirely on ratio – scientific arguments.

    3) REDIRECTION

    To focus libertarian argument on postmodernism rather than socialism, now that we have sufficient evidence to do so.

    4) ENFRANCHISEMENT

    To provide a rational, scientific language of sufficient scope and depth to unite conservatives and libertarians using propertarian reasoning to explain libertarian formal institutions and conservative (aristocratic) informal institutions (norms), as mutually dependent sets of institutions.

    5) JUSTIFICATION

    To restore violence as the first, necessary, and sufficient requirement for creation and persistence of the institution and of property, and the freedom and liberty that result from it.

    6) RESULT

    To provide a means for a minority of those of us who prefer property rights, freedom to act and liberty from constraint to obtain and persist all, and to justify that means as morally necessary, obligatory, and just.

    The bourgeoise are free riders: thieves. Aristocracy is earned. It is not a right. It is demanded. It is taken. And it is taken by force if needed.

    IGNORANCE IS A NECESSARY BYPRODUCT OF POSTMODERNISM

    If you must believe in SOME falsehoods, that means that you do not believe in scientific TRUTHS.

    Socialism + Feminism = Postmodernism = the collapse of reason and science.

    THE HARD REALITY THAT SCIENCE IS SLOWLY DEMONSTRATING

    (And in which postmodern thought is demonstrated to be false.)

    We are vastly unequal in value to one another.

    Genders are unequal in distribution of talents.

    There are no Female Jack the Rippers and no Female Newtons.

    Feminism has increased single motherhood, and increased poverty from single parenthood.

    Family structure determines property rights and morality.

    Homogenous family structures are necessary for homogenous polities.

    Diversity is bad, everywhere, anywhere.

    Race is a deciding factor in all personal interactions.

    Political preferences are a combination of genetics and family structure.

    Redistribution is eventually, genetically, economically, and politically disastrous for a polity.

    Median IQ is the most important property of any population.

    The “smart fraction” is the most important group of people in any population.

    The Pareto principle demonstrates a *requirement* of how much property must be concentrated in the smart fraction of the population.

    The religious conservatives are using religion to oppose the state because it works as a means of opposing the state’s attack on the nuclear family and meritocracy.

    The state and it’s church (universities) are engaged in a religious Pogrom to replace christianity and aristocracy with pseudo-science and socialism.

    LIBERTARIANISM MAY ERR. BUT IT ISN”T FALSE. Or destructive. Postmodernism IS false and destructive.

    Now, I’m going to go out on a limb here, and say that christianity must be divided into european and middle eastern content. And that, with Chivalry, the middle eastern content is irrelevant, and would best be abandoned.

    ARISTOCRACY gave us:

    ——————-

    Private Property

    Individualism

    Heroism (sacrifice for the greater good)

    The purpose of man is to bend nature to his will.

    Objective Truth

    Reason

    History

    Science

    Mathematics

    Enfranchisement

    Civic Duty

    Politics

    Houses of Classes

    ANGLO SAXONS GAVE US

    ———————–

    Poetry, Riddle, Pagan Mythology, Worship of Land and Nature

    The Common Law

    CHRISTIANITY gave us:

    ——————-

    Legitimate Laws (natural rights)

    Property Rights for Women

    Mandatory Outbreeding (universalism)

    Chivalry (Heroism in service rather than defense or conquest)

    PROTESTANTISM gave us:

    ———————-

    The Nuclear Family

    Eugenic Reproduction

    Universal Private Property Rights

    The Work Ethic (Work as Virtue)

    GOOGLE IS THE MOST SOCIALLY IMPORTANT COMPANY IN THE WORLD

    Yep. The next ‘singularity’ doesn’t have to come from machines. It can come from the gradual elimination of fringe (irrational), false (contrafactual) or loaded (metaphysically biased) ideas.

    I could not have accomplished what I have in the past ten years without the internet. It would have been impossible.

    I just believe, strongly, that postmodernism on one end, islam on the other, with Buddhism somewhere in the middle, will defeat reason just as religion has defeated reason so frequently in the past.

    The only way to defeat religions is to aggressively advance science faster than dysfunctional religions can react to it.
