    IMPORTANT INSIGHT –

    Propertarianism, once mastered, radically reduces the time investment in the suppression of falsehood. I’m only getting there myself now, but once you master the main arguments of the economics of everything you can undermine most cheap attempts at theft with just as much brevity. It’s just work to get there.

    YOU MISS THE POINT. ANTI-MATERIALISM IS A SOPHISM TO COVER FOR LYING. WE SEEK GAINS AND TO PREVENT LOSSES.

    —“But I think you miss the mark somewhat here because heroism is fundamentally not about the material or Darwinian advantages.”—

    Heroism is a means of paying status and opportunity rather than material rewards, in exchange for directing dominance display to the production of commons. those commons may be physical, may be opportunities, may be, normative, may be informational or anything in between.

    So your mistake is failing to grasp that the use of ‘materialism’ as a criticism is an attempt to lie. instead, we seek gains whether material, opportunistic, or informational, and to prevent losses of the same. Because in all things we are simply an extension of the physical laws of the universe, with nothing other than the use of memory to choose optimum opportunities, rather than fae the limits of the physical world in seizing the first opportunity. it is by this vast accumulation of differences using different forms of memory that we capture and resist entropy while the reset of the universe decays.

    If I can get this thru: if you cannot convert an emotion to its underlying economic terms, then you are still talking superstition. It’s pseudoscientific superstition. But it’s superstition. In this example you are still thinking feelings have value, instead of that we evolved to experience positive and negative feelings for having increasing or decreasing assets, in physical (premium), opportunistic(discount), or informational (discount) form.

    @StanGalerius For some of you, an explanation is required.
    For others, a set of bullet points is required.
    For others an aphorism is required.
    For others a diagram is required.

    @StanGalerius Seriously, why don’t you recognize that I write the same set of concepts in in essay, argument, aphorism, ‘poetic list’, table, graph, and serialized form because each of these forms increases the informational density of the content, providing different minds, different means?

  • ONLY FALSEHOODS CREATE COMPLEXITIES (don’t get pissed at me for this. it’s true.

    ONLY FALSEHOODS CREATE COMPLEXITIES

    (don’t get pissed at me for this. it’s true. Truth isn’t always pleasant and the law isn’t always something people are willing to enforce.)

    —“The abortion topic is a paradox and a false equivalency for example. Too complex to boil down to a yes or no.”–Wade Rogers

    mmm… I just say it’s undecidable, not because it is complex, but because the only moral thing to be done is not commit the crime of fertility in the first place, creating the undecidable moral hazard.

    We don’t do the right thing because we don’t want to. But the right thing is to punish the mother. It cannot happen without her conspiracy.

    So that is the violation of natural law – period.

    But since we wont enforce it we convince our selves that abortion is complicated.

    No, all lies create complication. The truth is simple.
