So, when I say “low trust” I am speaking in terms of the institutional development of rule of law as a means of suppressing corruption, and therefore expanding truth telling. The reason russia is rated (and I rate it) as a low trust country is corruption. That said, I promise you, that you want russian friends more than friends from high trust countries. Just as much as you want government from high trust countries. When I say ‘chinese are a low trust society’, this does not mean that they don’t trust each other. It means that (a) they lie, (b) they cheat, (c) the government is corrupt. So high trust describes a RADIUS of trust, not how you trust the people you interact with. In other words, trust is a question of economics. Honestly, I prefer the company of conservative libertarian western europeans, and educated russians equally. I am a russophile just as much as I am a lover of ukraine. Read Fukuyama’s “Trust”.

My Policy on Drug Dealers
My policy on drug dealers is that once you’ve been convicted of trafficking, you are no longer insured by the people. In other words, if you are murdered then there is no crime to investigate. Now, my definition of a drug is one that empirically results in dependency. My policy on drug use is that you can’t use them, drive, use powered equipment, weapons, or be responsible for other people. In particular as far as I know, tripping is good for you if you can handle it. Sedating drugs are useful. Pleasure center drugs are a problem.

International Justice Systems…
So let me get this straight: you get beaten to near death with sticks for stealing in india, and completely to death boards and bats in Brazil, and the africans one up the rest of the world by lighting them on fire? And the chinese rip close off adulterers,while the rest of south america does a mag dump on you for screwing their daughters? The arab world just makes up random excuses to line people up and shoot them in the head – for entertainment purposes – and then compensates for it by accidentally shooting people in the head at wedding celebrations? (i dig the whole light em on fire thing. Wow.) That’s what I’m learning about international justice systems…

The Origin of the West – It’s Time To Return To Rule
The Origin of the West: The Militia Constitution is nothing but a contract. A contract is nothing without insurance. That insurance is nothing but the militia. That militia nothing but moral men bearing arms. It’s time to return to rule. We must accept that our experiment failed. There is no industry more profitable than rule. And there is no industry at which we better excel. Why do we tolerate being taxed, rather than taxing?
