( I mean, I love libertarians, but you know, I love women also. There are plenty of people with intellectual honesty, moral ambitions, and love in their hearts. That doesn’t change the fact that the evidence is what it is. People are merely rational. They are not good. They are not bad. They will act good or bad depending upon the incentives. And this is why libertarians are morally blind. Not as morally blind as progressives, but morally blind. )

THE END OF HOPE AND THE VIRTUE OF VIOLENCE
—‘yadda yadda yadda, nonsense, nonsense, nonsense, shaming, shaming shaming, straw man, straw man, straw man”— Aaron Werner (via Discus)
If you are ‘hopeful’ you try to inform, and then persuade.
if you have given up hope, you can try to buy them off.
If you cannot buy them off, you can only use violence to stop them.
I changed the discourse from hope of requesting Liberty by faith in informing and persuading, to the hopelessness of persuasion, and the imposition of Sovereignty, by the organize use of violence to deny parasitism by all means.
We are all but creatures of our genes. You, your genes, we, ours. We are no longer hopeful. We are no longer willing to tolerate the high cost of hopefulness that you and the minority of men like you, and the majority of women who you are like, will learn.
We will end parasitism via the commons just as we have ended it in the market. We will deny others the possibility of majority tyranny, and force those who benefit from parasitism by the government, or parasitism by free riding on the west’s commons, back into the markets for the private and common .
If you fool me once with Pilpul, divine command, and christianity, shame on me. If you fool me twice with marxism, libertinism, neo-conservatism, the pseudo-rationalism of critical theory, and the pseudosciences of boaz, marx, freud, cantor, and mises, then same on me.
The experiment in tolerance is over. Maxwell, Darwin, Spencer, Nietzsche, and Davenport were right. Time to return to our ancient occupation of domesticating the animals (which I assume includes you) for fun and profit in an effort to create peers rather than parasites.

I’m pretty fond of ‘ordinary folk’. The most immoral people I’ve ever met in my life are engaged in the arts, entertainment, politics, law, and finance.
And I say that with full knowledge of the difference between objectively moral art, policy, law, and finance. The fact that we fail to incrementally suppress crimes of art, policy, law, and finance, is merely the fault of moral men to use violence to create the means of suppression: expansion of natural law.

via pm: —“i’m afraid of josh”– (anon)
Yes well that’s probably the right thing to feel. But good criticism is very hard to find. I learn a lot from his.
The truth is that people should be afraid of most of us. “Moral Clarity” that gives us “Moral Authority” for which we are willing to risk life and limb in an effort to save our civilization is something to be sought, but not feared.
We need more of it. 🙂

Dear media.
It’s called “Disintermediation”. Cutting out the middle man.

Do you mean I have to repeat the last time I eviscerated you? Why do you waste my time?
1) Tell me how my work in Testimonialism recommends use of Natural Common, Judge Discovered Law to demand warranties of due diligence for public speech in matters of coercion (politics).
2) Tell me what seven due diligences one must perform in order to satisfy that warranty, and why any of those is particularly difficult (categorical, logical, empirical, operational, reciprocal, fully accounted, and limited). (Especially when it was mises who discovered operationalism in Economics; when )
3) Then tell me why this model will not work to incrementally suppress error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, overloading, propaganda and deceit.
4) Then tell me why, except for reciprocity (moral consistency), if the hard sciences practice these warranties of due diligence, the same results in hard science would not be possible in psychological science, social science, economic science, and political science, if we include reciprocity in the list of required due diligences.
5) Then tell me why we could not demand these due diligences in political speech in a court of law, just as we do for advertising claims, marketing claims, commercial sales presentations, contract provisions, services brought to market, and goods brought to market?
6) Then tell me if defense of the informational (political) commons is policed by ordinary citizens (universal standing in matters of the commons) and if rule of law (universal application of the law to all individuals without exception) how this does not produce a market for Truth by suppressing the market for falsehood, just as we produce a market for truth by suppressing a market for fraud.
There is no reason logical, empirical, functional, or ethical that we cannot demand truthful speech in politics.
Except for those who wish to perpetuate lies.
if you can construct an argument against this series then you will ‘have me’. But you write a great deal of nonsense without actually addressing the very boring reality that between the hard sciences and the law, we already do most of this demanding of due diligence. And do it successfully. Daily. In fact, if it weren’t for the long standing legal proposition that we should tolerate error and deceit in order to encourage political speech, in the same way we tolerate slander and libel of public figures to give license to opinion and error, in the same way we tolerate abuse of patents in order to encourage innovation, in the same way we allow legal interpretation instead of strict construction from original intent, then we would already do most of this. What we learned in the 20th century was (a) the use of operational language to create existential (observational) consistency, (b) and that operational consistency allowed us to discover limits of theories. But operational language has been studied (EPrime) and authors have written entire works in it. Law already favors reciprocity, and law already constructs documents increasingly operationally. What our framers did not expect was that propaganda was so cheaply manufactured and in such industrial quantity, and the common man or woman is so susceptible to it, that the cost of refutation would be impossible to defeat. So rather than leave such ‘frauds’ to be freely made, we can use consumer protection to protect consumers.
Either you can respond to this or you cannot.
(or perhaps you will not publish this response like you did not publish my last.)

(modern literature)(revised)
Take the mysticism and magic out of Dune, add Starship Troopers minus the feminism, and the anti-white-ism out of A Wizard of Earthsea, and it’s the best moral literature of our age.
We must rule. The western group evolutionary strategy has been to use Soverignty (aristocratic egalitarianism), Natural law of soverign men, and Markets in Everything, with the Aesthetics of Excellence (personal), Heroism(social), Transcendence (philosophical), To DOMESTICATE the animal man for fun and profit.
In other words The Gods (Great men) seek more great men to sit at the table with them. Transcendence: domestication, evolution, transcendence.
(note: all three of these books can easily be edited. Earthsea makes only one reference, Troopers a few, and Dune a theme (looking where none dare).)
