  • The Cause of Hierarchy and State

    May 3, 2020, 6:58 PM [M]an desires consumption, consumption is increased by opportunity, and opportunity is increased by liberty, but so is irresponsibility. And so is free riding, parasitism, fraud, crime, immigration, conversion, conquest, and genocide. The state evolved to incrementally suppress local parasitism decreasing local transaction costs, in exchange for paying taxes to pay the cost of decreasing local transaction costs. This made markets possible where only primitive trade previously existed. Man is amoral by nature, and pragmatic. By the institution of parenting, acculturation, indoctrination, training, laws, restitution, punishment, and prevention we invest in his domestication. Man develops theology, philosophy, ideologies, rationalizations, myths, fantasies, and various other forms of frauds, to attempt to obscure and justify his free riding, parasitism, fraud, crime, and organized crime. In order to produce the suppression of free riding, parasitism, fraud, crime, and organized crime, requires a power law of institutions of prevention, investigation, dispute resolution, prosecution, restitution, punishment and prevention. In order to produce a market requires a pareto distribution of assets, so that the organization of networks in an market can produce a complex division of labor and its returns without which the terms freedom and liberty have no meaning. In order to produce a society that tolerates market competition and the suppression of free riding, parasitism, fraud, crime, and organized crime, requires the resulting distribution of rewards satisfy a marginal nash equilibrium. Given three possible means of coercion: force-defense (Military-police, government), trade-boycott(commerce-law), and advocacy+insurance-undermining+ostracization(social,education,religion), elites will combine to use and misuse these skills in a competition. Given that Man varies greatly from barely human to superhuman in physical, social, and intellectual ability, and sexual, social, economic, political, and military value, and given the power, pareto, and nash necessities of distributions, man will sort by value to others by his value in those markets – producing networks of competing and overlapping hierarchies that we call sexual, social, economic, and political class. As such, rule of law and the independent judiciary provide a market for the suppression of criminality by not only individuals and groups of individuals, but elites in all three dimensions of elites, such that sovereignty, liberty and freedom are maintained DESPITE the presence of necessary hierarchies.

  • From 2018: Predictions

    (reminder to repost via James Knowles) —“Given the current accelerating rate of ideological and racial polarization, how likely is it in America that the country will enter an era of large-scale sectarian violence at some point in this century?”— A Friend

    by Curt Doolittle, The Propertarian Institute, Kiev, Ukraine I’ve stated since 2006 that we would have a violent revolution between 2020 and 2025. I stated that the economy would fail by 2008 (it did) would not recover until at least ‘14 (I was right), that would peak its recovery in ‘17/18 (I was right) and that the next correction would coincide with demographic, political, and economic collapse, at the very same moment that american military and political power would be impossible to sustain the remains of the british empire we inherited at the war’s end. (I will be correct.) I know this because of economics, demographics, the conflict of civilizations, and the great power struggles that result. The entire suite of socialist experiments worldwide across the 20th century have failed, and so the right (classical liberal rule of law) would have won if not for immigration overwhelming the country via the six massive-immigration-cities. However, since the left was successful in achieving through third world immigration and the destruction of the nuclear family what they could not achieve through their ideas, the only solution to intolerable conflict is separation. Both Communist-Antifa/BLM/Soros and the Nationalist-Right Coalitions were very close to starting a war after the Trump victory overturned the left’s belief in victory, and had Charlottesville been slightly more violent such that the Right wingers defended themselves with the rather vast arsenal they had with them, it would have started there. But all that occurred in the aftermath has been the elimination of the nazi symbolism from the hard right, and the down-funding of BLM/Antifa by Soros, who has instead switched to funding the anti-gun movement to achieve the same ends. What’s occurring right now is that the Trump administration is serving as a sufficient proxy for violence. The right’s current plan is to wait until the left attempts to prosecute Trump for (correctly) attempting to shut down. The left is waiting for their long awaited win. Meanwhile the very few adults left in positions of power understand that any misstep by either side will result in the bloodiest civil war in human history. And I say that having a very clear understanding of how fragile our prosperity is, and how easy it is to fall into all against all fighting for food and water. We are going to have some sort of civil war, the outcome of which I suspect will be devolution of central powers to the states or regions, since this is the only means of preserving the military, retirement, and medical services, while cities, states, and regions determine their cultures, norms, and values. The principle change is that laws on permissible behavior and therefore citizenship will fragment into the old european model. After which the european experiment will follow suit. I know, this ‘reformation’ will occur, because I’m going to make certain of it. And I’m going to make certain of it for the simple reason that the civil war will happen and a random outcome after millions are dead and the world descends into war, is far worse than an agreeable settlement.

    If you wanted to be a strong country your leadership would not be conducting continuous warfare against us. We just ran another war game where we lost to china. Yet, what have we done to china. We could have conquered and we didn’t. We helped you recover from communism.

    But the industrial cities are integrated ito the world and do not need defense. The north needs strong military and defense to keep the industrial cities integrated. Poor government in the north, wealthy trade in the north. This is what Mao feared. He was wrong.

    @HaiTaoYang9 America will break into pieces. Europe will not unify. Why? Because it is a disadvantage. The only value of scale is military. For china, the only advantage of scale is to use wealthy south industrial cities to raise up the poor rest of the country.

    @HaiTaoYang9 You are missing the point. UNIFICIATION IS A BAD THING. Unification is why you failed. Monopoly is good in defense and slow. Many small states make for rapida daptation innovation and maneuver.
