http://reut.rs/1U6FN8vModern Take on Sun Tzu:

When Canadian Politicians speak they are irresponsibly ideologically utopian

When British Politicians speak they are pragmatically utopian.

When American Politicians speak they are always overly optimistic.

When German Politicians speak the are speaking ideologically while trying not to.

When Hindu Politicians speak, they trying to avoid embarrassment by the truth.

When Italian Politicians speak they are obscuring truth with humor.

When French Politicians speak they use false morality to obscure immorality.

When Jewish Politicians speak they don’t have any idea what the truth or lie is.

When Russians Politicians speak they are always telling half truths to hide a lie.

When Chinese Politicians speak they are always lying – its their way of life.

The problem is that as a high trust people we listen to what people say instead of what they do. And as an industry, news, reporters, and public intellectuals transmit information by words loaded with their moral biases instead of a record of actions and incentives unloaded of their moral biases.

Everyone acts in his interests.

Morality increases as we move north and west.

Ideological utopianism is a means of using hope to escape current costs of self defense. Conviction is almost always a deceit to mask convenience. Moral posturing a method of escaping costs.

That’s what propertarianism tells me.

And its true.
