A VAGRANT’S LIFE IN KIEV AGAIN
I’ve been back in Kiev for the past … five days or so? Working with my buddy Kirill Latysh. Writing documentation. Hanging out in my favorite coffee shops in Podol. Sniffling from another winter cold.
Planning our conquest of enterprise software, and the business desktop.
Reveling in the Alt-Right’s conquest of Libertinism. Recognizing the disappointment on the horizon. Struggling to figure out how to turn the opportunity into a step forward toward revolution.
Interesting times.
I love parts of my vagrant lifestyle. I’m like a bag-lady except everything that matters is in digital form in a laptop, or in a storage unit, wondering when I’ll come home to it. 🙂

I am a pretty nice guy most of the time.
I am certainly absurdly generous and patient.
I think I am mostly positive unless business or money is making me crazy.
I have had pretty much nothing but long term relationships.
But I can get my hackles up and push back pretty hard when criticized for things that are not what I consider ‘my fault’.
In particular I just cannot take this “why do you not think like I do” sh_t from women.And worse, aggressive criticism. Passive aggressive criticism. Makes me crazy.
And I don’t want to be one of those men who smacks women, even when they deserve it – which they do, or history wouldn’t be full of men smacking women around. But in this part of the world, women feel perfectly comfortable spewing their ignorant, selfish drivel at you with venom. Maybe that’s why they aren’t crazy like western women – the emotion ‘gets out’.
I am not ever, ever, ever going to remember anything that isn’t on a post-it in front of my face. I don’t remember my OWN stuff. Certainly not anyone else’s. Why? I don’t ‘live’ in the ‘world of the moment’. I live in a world of ideas, and when other people are around, I drop back to earth for a few moments, and am always surprised to find such interesting people here.
When I was a kid I had to wear my house key around my neck because otherwise I would never take it with me. I would always forget it. I learned how to break into houses by breaking into my own home, simply because I forgot the key all the time.
I had to write a schedule on the back of my notebook in order to remember what day and class it was.
I can’t remember a grocery list with more than two items. (Literally).
I have always had an assistant at work. Why? Otherwise I’d never get anywhere.
My business partner Chris used to tease me that my short term memory was erased by the first doorway I walked through. (Its true, although not as much as it used to be).
I don’t use credit cards, or take loans because I never remember them. I have about zero sense of time passing. I rarely even know what day it is.
I don’t ‘plan’ anything. I create a network of overlapping strategies, and I make task lists that move the needle in as many of those strategies at once. I follow my strategy – relentlessly, single mindedly – for years, if not decades. I work pretty much 14-18 hours a day. Every day. Seven days a week. And I pretty much always have.
I’m an ‘exaggerated male’. Men think in drawers. One drawer at a time. We are incognizant of other drawers. When we open one drawer we close the last drawer, and all is forgotten. etc.
I used to tell critics that picking on me about remembering things is like picking on a color blind person for not seeing the difference between red and green.
I mean, I used to, but I don’t walk around telling people ‘omg, wow, I can’t imagine you are that fucking stupid!!!” Which, I promise you, is how I react to about 97% of all human speech. Instead I forgive people for their incapacity and enjoy what they *DO* have to offer. (Strangely enough, ordinary folk say a lot less stupid stuff than people with university educations.)
Now by contrast, I can solve anything. Literally. I am pretty sure that no matter what problem I chose I would eventually solve it. I’m not fast at it, but I will absolutely figure it out. I remember everything I hear, much of what I read, and most of what I see. That’s my magic gift. I can crunch ideas like computers crunch numbers.
SO why do you think I feel ‘lost’ without a woman in my life? And why does a certain kind of woman enjoy being around an autistic version of Yoda? For some women, men like me are awesome toys. For me, women are a strategic necessity. You see? I think the way they think is magic. I can’t do that. It’s awesome.
But if a woman wants me to remember anything, no matter what it is, you might as well ask me to fly. Seriously.
So to all my past and future mates, it’s not that I don’t care. It’s that I CANT and it really f—-king pisses me off.

AMERICAN EUPHEMISM FOR MY UKRAINIAN FRIENDS
In response to surprise that someone is ignorant of something:
—“Where have you been?!!”—
In other words: “How the hell did you not know that? Were you living under a rock? Are you oblivious to the world around you?”

Ukrainian children are right up there with puppies and kittens. OMG. So cute.

[I] write controversial philosophy. If it was not controversial it would not be revolutionary. – And I embrace controversy as good marketing, and the good conduct of argumentative research. *** http://www.propertarianism.com/en_US/2016/01/18/yes-im-controversial-but-why/ If my work is offensive, it means the person offended is a thief. That may seem an outrageous claim, but it will survive all criticisms. Truth is often painful. I don’t do racism, I do classism (eugenics). I’m for as diverse a planet of tribes as possible. And my understanding is that the differences between the races are almost entirely the product of differences in rates of reproduction of the lower classes. *** http://www.propertarianism.com/en_US/?s=racism I don’t to statism I do nationalism.I don’t do anarchy, I do nomocracy (rule of law) under Natural Law, where my concept of natural law is not ‘fuzzy’ but thoroughly articulated. *** http://www.propertarianism.com/en_US/?s=nomocracy I don’t do escape from the commons, I do market government for the construction of commons by exchange. *** http://www.propertarianism.com/en_US/?s=market+government My work is not sentimental, not rationalistic, but social science hung on a philosophical framework, as a means of uniting science, philosophy, morality, and law. Propertarianism requires a great deal of general knowledge, and Testimonialism a great deal of understanding of philosophy and the philosophy of science, and possibly of the foundations of logic and mathematics. The current phase of my work addresses the problem of what we call religion, but better stated is the encoding of evolutionary strategy in a set of metaphysical value judgements, and their embodiment in myth, ritual, tradition and norms. So my current work is probably more accessible than the previous few years. My goal is to create a revolution that overthrows the Century of Lies and Mysticism (20th century). But moral men need more than just revolutionary sentiment. They need: 1) Moral Authority : We have been lied to, our civilization destroyed, our culture intentionally undermined, and our kin and relations the subject of a slow constant conquest and genocide. 2) A Solution : An alternative set of institutions that are capable of intertemporal persistence across many generations. 3) A Plan of Transition : the means by which to convert from the current state to the new state so that individuals and groups can envision that transition rather than fear the uncertainty of it. 4) A Method Of Revolution : The methods by which we raise the cost of the status quo until our solution is preferable to the current chaos. My work, my ‘book’, is an attempt to provide moral authority, A solution, A Plan of Transition, and a Method of Revolution.
