    PROFIT, COST, VALUE, AND THE ONLY REASON NOT TO PREY UPON YOU.

    I simply state: Profit: an objective MEASUREMENT made profitable by the commensurability provided by money and prices.

    I simply state science: Cost: an objective decline in the volume of some form of capital (including time).

    I simply state science: Value: a subjective experience we can only observe via DEMONSTRATE action: participation in voluntary exchange.

    The only way any ‘social’ or ‘common’ property CAN exist is by consent of those capable of defending it from competitors.

    The only reason to engage in consent is that it is more rewarding to engage in such consent than it is to engage in predation or parasitism.

    CONVERSATION WITH A MARXIST

    Communism is impossible because of incentives, calculation, competition, and climbing the dominance hierarchy for status and mates.

    —“in short : Communism is impossible because bananas don’t taste purple”— Marxist

    So no. Because of competition, calculation, and incentives. You cannot eliminate male need to climb the dominance hierarchy. Sorry.

    —“Just throwing around baseless biological assertions. You may be able to lie about philosophy and economics, but biology is on you can’t get.”— Marxist

    So you are saying competition, calculation, incentives to produce, an climing dominance hierarchy among men do not exist, or needn’t exist?

    —“Given you adhere to neoclassical economics it’s not surprising you wouldn’t know the answer to your own question.”— Marxist

    I don’t know what neoclassical means. I know the difference between that which is calculable (individual) and that which is not (common).

    And I know the difference between kin, community, competitor, and enemy, as well as dysgenic and eugenic reproduction.

    And the difference between kin, community, competitor and enemy is determined by reproduction, cooperation, parasite, and predator.

    You see, your entire hierarchy of argument presumes that those who seek parasitism and predation have some ‘value’ or other.

    I start all ethical reasoning with the question of ‘Why don’t I take from, enslave, or kill you and yours?’ Not claims of moral obligation.

    I don’t seek to provide sustenance to parasites at the cost of me and my kin. I seek cooperation of those with whom productivity results.

    A claim that we share some commons, common interest, or moral obligation is simply a lie by which to entreat the simple, weak, and women.

    I make no such claims. I state only that if we cooperate via sovereignty that the meritorious will survive and those lacking merit will die.

    And if that means your death, that is good for mankind.

    At this point in my work there is a great deal I do not know, but precious little that I don’t understand. And economics, I understand.

    I do not seek to rally allies among the simple, weak, and women, against the strong and the male. I seek allies in the transcendence of man through the elimination of parasitism that prevents our transcendence.

    “Via-Negativa.” Eliminate the bad and only good remains Eliminate the parasitic and only the productive remain.

    Kill the enemy

    Punish Parasitism

    Constrain the weak.

    And Transcend Family, Kin, Clan, Tribe and Man.

    FB/GOOGLE YELLOWPAGES 2.0 AND FUTURE INCOME

    Look. FB is just Email where everyone gets a yellow page, and caller ID. It’s Email 2.0. That’s why its successful. Google is just the yellow pages for the internet. It’s Yellow Pages 2.0. Both are paid for by advertisers just like the yellow pages. The only solution to mobile advertising, is to require very small payment for commercial search results provided by google, on mobile devices, which in turn will fund all other search results. That’s what will eventually happen. Quality brands will pay and sh-t brands will not, and the world will return to form.

    —Q:”Does Propertarianism rely on markets for healthcare?”—

    1) subsidy for survival(underclass),

    2) insurance against tragedy(working class),

    3) commercial insurance (middle class), and

    4) commercial insurance and payment for research and development (upper class).

    That is what I recommend. These are all market solutions. And they are the best market solutions that I can define.

    THE RELATIONSHIP ECONOMY

    Men trade money, labor, affection, and friendship, for sex, care, affection and friendship. It’s just a matter of whether you’re buying sex (prostitute), and affection and friendship (girlfriend), or care (marriage).

    VIA NEGATIVA, STARTING WITH TIME

    Once you understand that I’ve based all of human action on saving time, or rather increasing the caloric returns on time, then you have some chance of grasping the importance of the use of disruptive heroic virtue signals, profiting from rule, and underclass culling that permitted the west to innovate FASTER than the rest, despite never being first.

    The use of Via-Negativa is so important yu cannot imagine until you’ve been working with it for a few years. We make the world better by elimination. A process of elimination. We progress by eliminating impediments.

    Start thinking of eliminating murder, harm, damage, theft, fraud, fraud by disinformation, externalization, free riding, conspiracy of common interest, conspiracy of common intent, fictionalism and disinformation, conversion, immigration, over-reproduction, financialization (warfare), economic warfare, military warfare, displacement, and ethnocide.

    Then start thinking of eliminating ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking suggestion, obscurantism, fictionalism, and deceit.

    When you eliminate the bad, we need only choose from the good. Make room for the market for goods, by eliminating the markets for bads.

    It’s not that complicated, it’s just the opposite of what we’ve been taught for all of human history.
