    THE PARASITISMS THAT COMPETE WITH RECIPROCITY

    Marxism = parasitism upon private property.

    Libertarianism = Parasitism upon commons.

    NeoConservatism = Parasitism upon Genes, Traditions, and Institutions.

    Authoritarianism masks the underlying theft, which is why I talk not about the authority (which each sector justified) but about the thefts (which are very hard to).

    Same with economics. We talk about whether they aer scientific or not but we do not talk about the thefts that occur, versus the trades that would be possible under rule of law by the natural law of reciprocity.

    Theft is not an opinion. “Good” is an opinion.

    @jordanbpeterson Man is not moral,or immoral,but amoral and rational. It’s just that cooperation when at least marginally reciprocal produces such outsized returns(logarithmic) that it’s nearly always preferable to act reciprocally(moral). We’re self domesticating superpredators.

  • From Elsewhere

    On Killing Defectors… (a) Killing defectors is defensive measure against further defection (b) Not killing imprisoned defectors is merely preserving an asset for future exchange. (c) Trading defectors you will later kill is simply buying the exchange for free. (d) Letting people have false hope and live in fear is more valuable than rapidly executing them. I detest conspiracy theories. People act according to rational incentives. However, Seth Rich and Skripal hold a remote possibility of implicating Russian involvement at a time when we are sensitive to (endemic) russian, chinese, jewish, manipulation of our polity. The jewish are most successful at political interference. The chinese most successful at technological theft. The Russian most successful at undermining power in general. Russian, Jewish, Chinese, and American involvement in intelligence gathering and shaming by publication of undesirable information is endemic, and has been since the advent of the soviets.The soviets mastered propaganda from the French, then competed with the fascists for supremacy. Americans being anglo were late to develop the technique since we have a high trust society and these kinds of actions were resisted. As far as I know – and I am fairly certain of this – the collusion story is just that – an excuse to cover the failings of the democratic party in putting forward such an undesirable candidate in a time of divisiveness. Intelligence work on the american side is tediously boring really. The russians on the other hand use disaffected intellectuals (particularly on the left) to do their work for them at pennies on our dollar. And they always have done so. Americans are rather overt about our interference. Wikileaks has done us a profound favor and I only wish them a future even brighter.

  • Why Westerners Are Susceptible To Ethical Duplicity

    Israeli (self) vs other (host) ethics is a continuation of ghetto ethics (one standard for you and one for me) – western ethics requires reciprocity. We hear (((arguments))) assuming reciprocity. (((They))) make (((arguments))) assuming reciprocity. That is why we are fooled, every day, time and time again by (((pilpul))) – we are the only high trust civilization that metaphysically assumes reciprocity, and therefore we are we are uniquely vulnerable to (((deception))), just as we are far less vulnerable to violence.
