    THNKING

    more on the family and government.

    …governments that administer commons for families assist in reproduction, while governments that administer individuals assist merely in consumption. While all must be written for individuals, all commons must be constructed for families …..

    The compromise. the market and law are individual preferences. marriage is a corporation-a contractual preference. government is a corporation – a contractual preference.. …

    I see. I think I have it. This will take me a while to figure out….

    A third of the world wants to work in Germany? Of course they do. But I have a better idea:

    ***HIRE A GERMAN MONARCHY AND JUDICIARY***

    So your entire country can work like Germany. ’cause that’s the problem: your government, your customs, you education and your laws.

    FEMINISM: MERITOCRACY OR ORGANIZED CRIME?

    I am not sure how you get to be more of a ‘feminist’ than via aristocracy – meaning meritocracy. But then I view feminism as making a better world, by making stronger women, not subsidizing weak women and making weaker men, and making stronger women who compete meritocratically with men. If feminism means ‘the political pursuit of female reproductive interests, rather than the political pursuit of family interests, and if feminism is just a ruse for rent seeking and legal privilege so that women do not have to compete meritocratically with men in the service of mankind, then that’s something else: organized crime.

    GENDER CONTRACT?

    —-“I have a great idea : control your impulses to gossip, rent-seek like a vampire, and impose socialism upon us, and I’ll control my impulses to beat, rape, murder, and steal? OK? …… Oh. Wait. I ALREADY DO THAT. So what are you waiting for? Hold up your part of the bargain.”—-

    MOVING THE GOAL POSTS

    —“The left is always moving the goalposts. If you point out that the welfare state (compassion + bureaucracy + taxes + regulation) generates sloth, parasitism, irresponsibility, etc, you might get the answer that “you, too, would be slothful, etc. if you had to face what the average poor person faces everyday”. In other words, the old model of poor people as poor people with middle-class values/sensibilities is gone. Apparently, capitalism is a game of economic musical chairs in which millions of (once) poor folks make it into the lower or middle-class but somehow a vast underclass gets left without jobs, thereby triggering the underclass traits we all know and love.”–

    DEFEAT NOT CONSENT

    I’m not seeking your approval. I’m challenging you to a fight. A duel on behalf of aristocrats, aristocracy and mankind. Your agreement is just words, an opportunity for deception, your excuse as changeable as your mood, and your promise fades with the breath that spoke it. But your defeat exists and persists, and is beyond your intention or control. So, I do not care for your worthless approval or consent. I care that others know that you are defeated, and that I defeated you.

    BOOTS ON THE GROUND LIBERTARIANS

    —“There are millions of pragmatic boots-on-the-ground libertarians. Anyone who votes conservative, and would do defense as, “speak softly carry big stick,” doesn’t care if men marry men, multiple women, or budget for whores – is a Libertarian. And every one of them would limit the power of Democracy, and would defend his own property with limitless violence.

    “NAPpers” are academic weirdos – the priests who are nice enough, and who we get along with – but they are determined to prove to everyone that there is a god. The thing is, whether they prove that there is a god or not, doesn’t determine whether or not we will continue to enforce our preferences (Libertarian Hegemony) within reality.”—
