  • Taleb, Women, and The Cathedral

    TALEB, WOMEN, AND THE CATHEDRAL Taleb’s early books are an effort to feed his ego (self image) His later works are an effort to defend his ego (self image). He made a career popularizing mandelbrot. He DID successfully restore ‘whatever doesn’t kill you only serves to make you stronger” as anti-fragility to the popular will but was unsuccessful in turning it into political policy or mandate – because it is contrary to female instinct and females control both the vote, consumer spending, the academy revenues. So females control the cathedral complex: state, academy, advertising, marketing, consumption, and males control military, finance, and production which services them. Which has led to this problem. As I remind us constantly – everything is institutions and incentives, and incentives always boil down to reproductive strategy, from which the rest of life is merely an exaggerated representation.

  • Libertarian Means ‘Useful Idiot”

    PLEASE STOP BEING A USEFUL IDIOT ON BEHALF OF THE LEFT: LIBERTARIAN MEANS ‘USEFUL IDIOT”

    —“For me the last part best manifests itself within the ideas of libertarianism.”—psionin @psionin

    Libertarianism is just common property marxism. So “For me” means you don’t understand that the only source of Sovereignty, Liberty, Freedom and Prosperity is rule of law, producing markets for everything, including commons, or what we call ‘government’. Rothbardians turned ‘libertarianism’ from Classical Liberalism under Rule of Law to Ghetto Ethics of diasporic peoples having no, and taking no, responsibility for commons. It’s just common property parasitism rather than private property parasitism. So Rothbardians destroyed the term liberty as the left destroyed the term liberal. Either we have a militia in which every man holding the franchise defends rule of law under sovereignty and reciprocity, and produces commons necessary for survival of the polity – or not. If not, then the polity cannot survive competition in the market for territories, population and social, economic, and political order. Which is why there are no libertarian polities, and never will be. Libertarianism is just demand for a commune of private rather than common property at best, or an excuse to fool high trust european peoples into hosting parasitic peoples who specialize in profit from baiting into moral hazard, under the pretense of doing no harm. So please stop being a useful idiot. I use Sovereigntarian, or rule of law of reciprocity, or rule of law monarchy, or classical liberal. Libertarian in the hayekian sense means Classical Liberalism. Libertarianism in the Rothbardian sense just means “useful idiot”. Edit OCTOBER 5

  • Fallacy of White Privilege: Demanding Ingroup Benefits While Maintaining Outgroup Status.

    FALLACY OF WHITE PRIVILEGE: DEMANDING INGROUP BENEFITS WHILE MAINTAINING OUTGROUP STATUS. by Bill Joslin (via Justin Allred) (canon) Better stated as in-group members pay for membership via opportunity cost to not betray in-group trust. The incentive is clear. The benefits of maintaining membership outweighs the opportunity costs of not betraying trust of the in-group. This framing now includes class. Lower classes are on the cusp of this equation where betraying ingroup trust outweighs membership (i.e. crime and fraud). And outgroup members have no benefit of membership so have no incentive to take on the opportunity cost. “White privilege” distills down to outgroup con-artistry for why they should have ingroup benefits without paying the cost of membership…. And now we have the crux of the liberal philosophy and the common interests between lower class, migrants, academics and unassimilated sub-groups… All demanding ingroup benefits while maintaining outgroup status.
