    I think top-10 is a nearly universal consensus. But I would put Machiavelli, Locke, Smith, Hume, Nietzsche in my list.

  • The Mises Institute would survive if and only if it transforms from advocacy of

    The Mises Institute would survive if and only if it transforms from advocacy of the pseudoscientific Ashkenazi enlightenment of Boaz, Marx, Cantor, Frankfurt, and Keynes, Mises and Rothbard, to the Scientific enlightenment of Hayek, Popper, Einstein, Darwin, Spencer, Pareto, Durkheim, and myself.

    It is one thing to say “all these men failed, and each brought a piece of the puzzle to the intellectual table, but none was able to assemble it.”

    it is another to say Mises and Rothbard were ‘Austrians” of the empirical enlightenment seeking to restate german ethics from rationalism to social science, rather Ukrainians/Russians/Poles of the Ashkenazi pseudoscientific enlightenment seeking to restate eastern European ethics in an evolution of Jewish law. ie: not science. It’s fairly clear that Mises didn’t even understand what the term meant.

    Otherwise we must seek to constantly publish that their advocacy of libertinism and low trust ethics is merely an attempt to perpetuate the landless libertine ethics of eastern European borderlands, and European ghettos, as a competitor to the landed high trust aristocratic ethics of the martial peoples of Europe and their ancestors.

    There is no libertine liberty of permission, nor can one possess a condition of liberty when one cannot retaliate for unproductive exchanges. The only existentially possible condition of liberty one can possess is that of the high trust produced by the universal, incremental, suppression of parasitism, and the limitation of man to productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary transfer, limited to externalities of the same.

    There is room in the intellectual space for restoration of the Austrian program of empirical social science of non-interference (voluntaryism). We already have honest schools of discretionary economic rule (mainstream Keynesian), non-discretionary economic rule of law (Chicago), but we have lost school of the non-discretionary, non-interference, where were seek only to improve the information provided by institutions not alter it deceptively for any reason. There may, in fact, be room in economic science and political policy for each of these schools because they range from the short term (fiscal-discretionary) to the medium term (monetary0-rule of law), to the long-term (institutional non-interference). But without the existence of all three there exists insufficient intellectual competition for each to be limited to its boundaries.

    Currently, our think tanks appear to follow the academic rule that thought only reforms with the death of its proponents. So we are stuck with romantic historicism of Heritage, the Moral Contractualism of Cato, the various smaller groups still hanging on economics rather than all of social science, and the Mises institute still dragging the limp body of failed eastern European libertinism into which they’ve overinvested their life’s works like the Ashkenazi enlightenment has dragged its peers on >>>>> ‘s chain: marxism/socialism and neoconservatism. All are nonsense that deny mankind’s demonstrated behaviors in an attempt – like its religious forbearer – to produce a psychic alternate reality that brings nothing but dark ages.

    I am not an advocate of any institution, but of liberty itself. And the only existentially possible liberty is that where we use the promise of organized violence to prevent the alternatives. Because liberty is unnatural to man. It requires productivity that is hard, unforgiving, genetically bound, prone to risk, and entirely meritocratic.

    That liberty is produced by a militia, a book of Natural Law, an independent judiciary treating the common natural law as sacred, and the total suppression of parasitism by every possible means, interpersonal, economic, and political.

    Hayek was correct in that the common law of natural law and property is the source of liberty. Mises discovered operationalism in economics, at the inspiration of weber and spencer. Popper discovered that darwin;s survival applied to knowledge, and that Hum’s criticism of induction was correct. Rothbard discovered that all ethics, morality and law could be represented as property rights. Hoppe discovered that representatives (agents) cannot possess beneficial incentives, and further explained that all political institutions could be converted into constructions of property rights – providing universal decidability. Haidt discovered that we all vote our reproductive interests, and I discovered that these interests can also be expressed as property rights. My meager contribution has been to unite these thinkers, providing the Wilsonian synthesis, and to extend the division of labor into the division of perception and advocacy on behalf of our reproductive strategies.

    This is the future of liberty. Truth and the incremental suppression of parasitism from all walks of life by the judical application and common law discovery of natural law: the law of property

  • OUR CAUSE IS TO OVERTHROW AND PREVENT THE GREAT LIES FROM EVERY HARMING MANKIND

    OUR CAUSE IS TO OVERTHROW AND PREVENT THE GREAT LIES FROM EVERY HARMING MANKIND AGAIN

    (important piece)(read it and weep)

    I had a transformative conversation just out of college with an activist lesbian, and close friend of my girlfriend, who – upon my statement that I tried to be objective and neutral in matters of politics – responded by saying that neutrality is a luxury of those who can afford it.

    I think the consequences of that conversation were subtle, but cumulative – and that the only solution to fulfillment for all, is not a monopoly of commons -universalism – but a market for commons. And that such a market for norms requires territories in which to plant, maintain, and harvest that which we desire from them – while at the same time paying the full cost of their development and maintenance rather than supporting one’s preferred norms by parasitic survival on the norms of others.

    So while universal negative commons exist: the natural law of non-imposition of costs. Universal positive commons are impossible. because the commons advances the group evolutionary strategy, and within that strategy, the life experience, of the population.

    Furthermore, just as groups of all men and all women produce exaggerated behaviors, and their own externalities, groups that favor different compositions of wants(short) and interests(long) will produce their own exaggerated behaviors, and their own externalities. And so these people are either kept in check by their wants and interests, or they will, as western man has done, discover superior means of organizing, superior wants, and superior interests, and modify their norms accordingly.

    Ergo, the more ‘diverse'(heterogenous) a single society, the less knowledge is gained, the most redistribution possible, and the most parasitism performed. While the most homogeneous a single society the more knowledge is gained, the most redistribution possible and the least parasitism performed. Because we will fund our wants and interests through redistribution but we will not fund our competitors willingly.

    We developed truth telling, sovereignty, and high trust norms, traditions, and institutions out of self-interest. And we domesticated man as a consequence. Because he was drawn to our order out of his own interest in exchange for abandoning parasitism.And where he was not drawn to his order, we out-competed him into adapting it. And where he was incompetent at adaptation we imposed it upon him by colonialism, political coercion, or outright conquest.

    And this is where we failed. Because we are not liberating man from oppression. We are suppressing his native parasitism, and domesticating him no differently than we have domesticated plants, animals, and most of the earth’s land, sea, and air.

    And this domestication is not in the interests of those who cannot compete in the production of norms, traditions, goods and services, that further extend non-parasitism in concert with our ever-expanding innovations in production, technology, market, and political orders, and the corresponding means of parasitism we also evolve along with them.

    Just as the Jews had to invent a false promise of eternal salvation in heaven in order to rebel against our ancient greco-roman ancestors who had dragged man out of ignorance and poverty with truth and contract, the descendants of these same people, in their reaction to the enlightenment, had to invent a false criticism of the west, and a false promise of utopia on earth in order to create a rebellion against our Anglo-Germanic-Italian-French ancestors, who likewise had dragged man out of ignorance and poverty upon finally defeating the curse of mysticism that

    Man must be domesticated into prosperity. He must be domesticated into national(genetic interests), contractualism(productive voluntary exchange), productivity(non-parasitism), and eugenic reproduction(non-harm) through the organized use of violence to produce normative, traditional, and formal institutions of domestication. And we must not only domesticate ourselves, but all those who would return us to barbarism through genetic, normative, traditional, and institutional means.

    We have insufficiently domesticated man and attempted to rest on the laurels of our ancestors – living in the luxury they have made for us. We have perhaps worse, insufficiently domesticated women – whose parasitism is indirect, consumptive, political, normative, and reproductive, rather than conducted by theft and violence of men. And we must next domesticate ‘those who lie’ so that never again is mankind doomed to the lies of the people who lie – because they cannot compete in innovation, production and reproduction, and so must poison the well of competition in order to succeed.

    We must bear arms and defend man, and his future, from the animals that seek to restore the order of animals. And we must make new constitutions, with new laws that treat the informational commons upon which each of us relies, and our future relies, from another cataclysmic grand suite of lies.

    THE FIRST GREAT ERA OF LIES: SUPERNATURALISM VS REASON

    The First Truthful Civilization: Greco(rational)-Roman(legal)

    The First Great Lies: Mysticism: Abrahamism, Christianity, Mythology including Monotheism, supernaturalism, and a holy book of supernatural myth and law, and the promise of life after death in a paradise.

    THE SECOND GREAT ERA LIE OF LIES: PSEUDOSCIENCE VS SCIENCE

    The Second Truthful Civilization: English-Anglo-Saxon-Hanseatic-Lotharyngian)

    Pseudoscience: Boazian anthropology and mythology, Marxist economics and mythology, Freudian psychology and mythology, Cantorian Mathematical Metaphysics, Frankfurtian sociology and mythology, and a promise of a paradise on earth.

    We must never gain allow ourselves, or others, to subject mankind to dark ages caused by Jews, Christians, Muslims, and prevent our transformation into the gods we aspire to be.

    The end of history is not Democracy. The end of history is the Truthful Civilization, in which none of us prey upon one another, because none of us need to prey upon one another.

    Western greatness was achieved through the imposition of non-parasitism, and the demand for productivity in exchange for reproductive possibility.

    The problem facing the rest of the world, and a problem the Marxist-socialists have given them because we lacked either the understanding of our domestication of animal-man, or we lacked the courage to state it in the face of our Christian mask of compassion over the face of our Aryan Domesticating Universalism, and lose the self-congratulatory status signals we obtained from the illusion. (Albeit, such acknowledgment may have created in-group cognitive dissonance against our lower classes. )

    We must defeat the great lies, with the great truths that we lacked either the knowledge or the courage to admit to ourselves, and advocate to others: that we have since the time of the horse and wheel, dragged man out of ignorance, poverty, and disease by the simple act of governing conquered territories such that we could kill his predators, replace his rulers, and constrain the reproduction of his lower classes leaving only the good behind.

    Because the uncomfortable truth of man is that just as each of us can only produce so much excess production above that which we ourselves need, those who organized production in the legal, financial, entrepreneurial, managerial, clerical, and laboring classes cannot compensate for large numbers of the underclasses who parasitically exist by constant warfare against our norms, traditions, myths, institutions, nations, and genes. There is a very simple mathematics to this process in that we must alter the rational choice to engage in production by purchasing that incentive by rewards. But that means that the percentage of people that can be incentivized to engage in non-parasitic actions is determined by the productivity of the nation (group), and its institutions. And if relative competitive productivity of the group declines, then the productive classes that remain will no longer be able to incentivize increasing numbers of the underclasses to refrain from parasitism. Ergo: we must constantly cull the lower classes if we wish to maintain the prosperity that the productive classes seek, and that is necessary for creating the incentives that create the order, that produces the luxury under which we now live.

    So it is not just the ecology of the earth that is limited in the population it can support. It is the ability to produce incentives for a population necessary to maintain the status quo.

    We fight not just the red-queens of disease, competing tribes, the of the earth, the aging of the earth and sun, but we fight the red queen of productivity upon which the ability to organize society voluntarily using those incentives we call capitalism, depend.

    This is what the pseudoscientists wished to hide with their second great era of lies: darwin found the truth and this truth was too much for the parasitic peoples to bear since it meant their extermination.

    So we must rule out of self-defense. Not just for us. Not just for our ancestors. Not just for our descendants – but for all mankind. And until we know we are not alone in the universe, for all eternity. We may be little more than gods-in-making. A calculation that the universe makes in an attempt to save itself from the laws that govern its limits, just as our intelligence has allowed us to save ourselves from the laws that govern our limits.

    http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/992320.shtmlCHINESE PROPAGANDA RAG – COULDN”T CONTAIN MYSELF.

    Well, let’s just be HONEST (which is not a very Chinese thing to do) and truthful (which is also not a very Chinese thing to do), and state that while it is in the Chinese military INTEREST to claim the south china sea is it’s territory – because the south china sea is the strategic means of starving out the Chinese in case of war – the fact remains that many OTHER nations had PREVIOUS claims on this same territory and China STOLE IT FROM THEM.

    Now China could say (maybe) that it was a previous possession of some sort, but then by the same logic the USA could say that if the Chinese have such claims to previous state’s property then they ALSO have responsibilities for previous state DEBTS. And the Chinese owe Americans TRILLIONS of dollars now that were unpaid by the previous government.

    It is a very Chinese habit to lie. Lying is a part of the culture. Delay, deceit, and lying are the primary strategy of the Chinese when dealing with other peoples and often with themselves. Lying and deceit are raised to the status of ‘good manners’ by the art of ‘face’ (denial of reality).

    So please forgive us in the West – those of us who have built a high trust society because by and large we try to speak truthfully even when we are foolishly optimistic – if we do not take any Chinese words very seriously.

    The fact of the matter is that china used ‘aggression’ to capture territory of other neighboring nations that were too weak to resist, and by that aggression, has stolen that which was the property of others.

    So if we are not making moral arguments any longer we are only making arguments to strategic necessity, then given china’s murderous record against even its own people, we should not take a moral stance either, and we should prevent china from taking control of this territory which would make it possible for one of the world’s most dishonest and murderous people to extend their reach beyond their coast line.

    Right?
