    (Brief panic attack as I fear that 30 days of work on my book were lost to the hard disk crash. Not all, but about maybe, three weeks of research notes. Why? the save directory and backup directory were outside of Dropbox for some reason, and while travelling I didn’t have time machine available. Not sure how I moved it or how it ‘got moved’, but I lost quite a bit of work there. And it’s my fault for not looking carefully at where the docs were saving. Great hardware and software can’t compensate for human error. )

    FUTURE VIDEOS

    We are going to start making regular videos on:

    (a) The Evolution of the High Trust Society (The Western Protestant Ethic)

    (b) Aristocratic Egalitarianism (Propertarian restatement of western ethics)

    (c) Propertarianism (Moral Realism/Logic of Cooperation)

    (d) Post Democratic Solutions to Political Institutions

    and, if anyone is crazy enough to want to follow the “hard stuff”

    (f) Instrumentalism, Operationalism and Intuitionism (Praxeology restated ‘correctly’)

    Unfortunately, I cannot pull a Monlyneux, and talk to the camera. I need an interview format to think and speak comfortably. So we’ll be doing these in interview format.

    Cheers

    Patiently waiting for iMovie to render. I’ve split the Ron Manners interview into one on Ukraine and one on my work on Propertarianism and reforming libertarianism.

    We didn’t prep for this at all. I didn’t know he would interview me (or I wouldn’t look like I just rolled out of bed after a wild night – I actually wasn’t feeling well). So it’s a natural and casual discussion.

    Ron is a great guy really.

    I bet he didn’t like my answer though: that resources (USA, Australian, Canada, Argentina, and Ukraine) are simply a vehicle for constructing rent seeking polities. The UK still has an incredibly rent-seeking culture, without resources, but only because they still operate as if the empire exists. And that empire exists, except that the UK is merely the swiss banking system of the Anglo American empire. That empire is coming to an end. Along with the european discount on defense, outsourced to americans.

    HD CRASH

    (silly)(personal)

    Yesterday I was sitting here, in this same spot, looking at my two Macbook Pros thinking that I really could cut down to one, and if I had a serious problem, then I could buy another.

    Of course, this morning I woke up to an unrecoverable hard disk crash. And was thrilled to have a spare computer to work with.

    Thankfully I use both Dropbox to mirror my entire Documents directory, and use Apple’s time machine for backups.

    So that settles it. 🙂 There is a shop in Lviv that can get American keyboards (the wide enter key), with both Roman and Cyrillic letters, rather than the (shitty) european keyboard (skinny vertical enter key). In just two days. So I think I’m going to have them get me the new one, upgrade the 15″ Macbook Pro that just crashed to a SSD, and stay with two computers.

    I should probably be a good boy and sell my 17″, but I think I’lll keep it around, since it’s such a pleasure to use at times.

    I miss you buddy. I hope you’re chasing bumpers in the water, squirrels in the yard, and cats along the fence, and tennis balls in the house, to your hearts content. 🙂

    (I tried to respond to every birthday note, and it was such a joy to hear from everyone, but the FB interface doesn’t really help me all that well. So, if I missed you blame FB. I read your note, thought of you and appreciated it. )
