  • We Took The  Family For Granted

    [W]e spend all this time, text and talk on the individual, women, government and economy. But we took the structure of reproduction for granted.

    We compete, using 1) the structure of group competition, 2) the structure of reproduction, 3) structure of pedagogy, 4) structure of production, and 5) structure of commons.

    Liberalism has been nothing more than an exercise in hedonistic consumption at the expense of the civilization that made that consumption possible. We destroyed the family. And with it, our civilization.

    It’s solvable. But it’s going to require blood and treasure to do it.

    Johannes Meixner :
    There is no better way of productively reproducing than the nuclear family with two partners both merging assets together, and not separating until the offspring is at least adult (death is preferable).


    Curt Doolittle:
    Yep. Exclusive of formal institutions that is true. Although I could argue that a 2M-person homogenous-polity closed to immigration, with a great deal of government-as-insurer, and without marriage could work if savings were enforced on all parties in greatly expanded version of the Singaporean or Galveston models.

    Johannes Meixner:
    …well if you enjoy risk transfers beyond the top level required to offset moral hazard, you can choose to do that.

  • Adults and Institutions, Children and Beliefs

    [C]hildren talk of beliefs.  Adults talk of institutions.

    Children talk of “Want and Belief”  Adults of “Expectations and Habits”.

    The mind plans with what it has available.  We need develop means of creating habits that produce expectations.

    People then plan with those expectations – because that is what is available to them.
    As far as I know only property, homesteaded and voluntarily exchanged, allows such planning by the individual, and decidability by third parties in the case of conflict.

    And far as I know the only means of creating ‘scientific’ rules of human cooperation is the organically evolved common law, constructed upon the one rule of property and the one operation of voluntary exchange.

    Just as with mathematics we can take the concept of a single unit and simple operations we create all of mathematics, with the concept of property and the simple operation of voluntary exchange, we can create all of human cooperation in equally rich variety.

    In the logic of human cooperation that we inarticulately call moral prohibitions and ethical rules, and which we can easily embody in law, we need only one unit “property” and one operation “exchange”.

    All commons can be constructed as long as the principles of existence, calculability, and operation-ability are maintained, such that all propositions are decidable without dependence upon information external to the operation.

    The only moral society is one in which property, morality and law are synonyms.

    Gender and Class Distributions: Outliers do not help us with general rules, they only tell us not to erect barriers. Distributions tell us general rules. You cannot construct a civilization out of outliers. That is a contradiction in terms.

    MALE AND FEMALE DIVISION OF LABOR

    History: women make children and women. Men make men. Women think as they do in order to make children and women. Men think as they do to make men. Women craft human material. Men craft civilization. It’s genetic. We can get SOME women to craft civilization also, just as we can get some men to raise children. But in the main, as a general rule, women and men divide genetic labor. And nothing will change that – ever.

    INTUITION AND THE EVOLUTION OF THE THE WHITE LIE

    Once our minds could evolve self awareness, our bodies had to evolve a means of persuading us to do that which we would not willingly do if we rationally conceived it.

    The idea that rational insight into nature is beneficial is only half true. Once aware of death look what we do about it. But if we were cognizant of our position in the hierarchy, or any other number of truths, we would not so easily fulfill nature’s demands upon us to reproduce.

    of course our intuitions lie to us.

    Its necessary.

    Just as it’s necessary to tell children nice white lies so they remain optimistic.
