  • Criticism and Critique: Control Without Contribution

    [A]re Criticism and Critique nothing but justifications for people who cannot invent? Isn’t that what the record of history tells us? interesting… Damn. Yes. That’s the answer: Control. Power. Without contribution. Control without contribution. From James Santagata [I] wish C&C were only used as justifications for those who cannot invent. But it’s actually used as a weapon, as a compliance technique to force a “validation seeking / approval seeking” frame onto those who do create…By accepting this frame, the creator actually gives up his power to those who cannot create. So what is the most societally beneficial manner to critique? How about this one: “Critique by creating.” – Michelangelo From Karl Brooks [I]n a scenario where the critic intends destruction of the invention, AND the critic has gained superior standing, so he is able to not only condemn but even to vandalize with impunity: What are the inventor’s options besides attempts at negotiating from weakness against an implacable foe?

      I suggest the first option. Option 0: he can take a fraud to court for fraud. This reduces transaction costs for prosecution, and increases transaction costs of misrepresentation.

    • Cosmopolitan Libertinism (Rothbardian Libertarianism) : "Yet Another God That Failed"

      [M]isesian / Rothbardian / Hoppeian attempt to capture the credibility of classical liberal Austrianism by means of Cosmopolitan critique. Instead, it was just another pseudoscientific attack on western civilization. Just like Marx, Freud, Frankfurt, and Postmoderns: a sustained attack on the ethic of the west: aristocratic egalitarianism. And we were fooled into thinking that it was from just the socialist direction. It wasn’t. It was from the socialists, the libertarians, and the neocons. From every angle of the political spectrum We have been fighting the wrong battle. There are no answers there. Time to fight for civilization. For a return to truth, merit, honor. Aristocracy.

      You know, the first academic who snowed me was Stephen J Gould. I mean, it turns out, that the man was simply a liar.

      Krugman is the same creature: a liar. Chomsky is, well, a liar.

      These men turn out to be just plain artistic liars. I mean, they’re sophisticated liars. But in the end, they’re liars.

      Exasperating.

      (nerd humor)

      —“Russell’s books should be bound in two colors, those dealing with mathematical logic in red – and all students of philosophy should read them; those dealing with ethics and politics in blue – and no one should be allowed to read them.”—
