  • “Doolittle is the Moldbug of Facebook”

    [W]ell, I have no idea if that’s meant as a compliment or an insult. Of course, I consider myself part of the Dark Enlightenment (NeoReactionary movement). Mencius uses continental arguments which frustrate the hell out of me, since I’m trying to reform libertarian reasoning and formal institutions by basing it instead on unloaded, objective language of the ratio-scientific method. But that said, it’s a fair association to make, whether compliment or criticism. Just surprised me and made me laugh. Photo: “Doolittle is the Moldbug of Facebook”

  • From Free-Riding To Rent Seeking To Anarchy

    FROM FREE RIDING TO RENT SEEKING TO ANARCHY People form governments to suppress the high transaction costs of criminal, unethical, and immoral behavior. The consequence is that all that suppressed free riding is simply converted into rent seeking by the bureaucracy. By forming governments, we trade high transaction costs that are pervasive (rampant criminal, unethical and immoral behavior) for low transaction costs that are increasingly expensive (conspiratorial, corrupt and exploitative behavior). The question we face in advancing political theory, is how to prevent rent seeking as well as free riding. The answer is to allow insurance companies, the common law, the courts, and a fully articulated set of property rights to do their jobs for us. Yes, there are certain luxuries we may wish to produce as a commons. There is no reason that we cannot produce luxuries as a commons. But we cannot produce laws. We can only allow the courts to discover them.

    WE LOST ‘LIBERAL’ TO THE SOCIALISTS. WE LOST ‘LIBERTARIAN’ TO ROTHBARDIAN GHETTO IMMORALITY.

    I chose Propertarianism, registered the names, and trademarked it for my own use. Ironic really.

    The term wasn’t used much. And only as ‘propertarian’ – a categorical pejorative on libertarians.

    If the Russians can conquer Ukraine because they think it isnt a real country, and really russia hasnt much claim to being a real country, then why dont we just conquer Russia? I mean, the chinese are winning in the east, the muslims in the south – so why dont we just take the west and russias resources, burn all their records and books and divide management if the territory to the eastern europeans?

    RUSSIANS ARE NOW SPONSORING TERRORISM IN EASTERN UKRAINE

    Nice. Using women as human shields too.

    I’m all in favor of voluntary ethnonationalism. I’m not in favor of parasitic systemically unethical, systemically immoral, and bureaucratically corrupt civilizations.

    Russia has nothing to offer the world except suffering, corruption and poverty.

    GERMANY BLOCKED UKRAINIAN MEMBERSHIP. NOW THEY BLOCK ITS DEFENSE.

    Like I’ve been saying for over a decade now: pull the USA out of europe and force Germany to return to its natural position, and pay its natural costs, of defending itself and europe.

    –“”The Russian economy is a very weak economy. It’s based almost entirely on oil exports. The financial sanctions that are feasible would have an immediate and serious impact on a feeble Russian economy, and that’s what we ought to do.”

    Unfortunately, not all of the allies of the United States are prepared to do that, Perle says.

    “In particular, the Germans are reluctant to take any significant action,” he said.

    “Ironically, the Germans helped land us in this situation when they refused to consider inviting Ukraine into NATO. If Ukraine were a NATO member, we wouldn’t be in this situation we are in today.”

    Perle said the U.S. must be prepared to work with sanctions that do not involve military intervention, which “one always worries can spin out of control.”

    “Financial sanctions on Russia are the obvious thing to do,” he said.

    “So, I would hope that our less reluctant allies would put some pressure on our more reluctant allies and persuade the Germans in particular that it’s time for them to play a role, commence with their power and authority.””–

    WORTH REPEATING : THE CHOICE OF ARISTOCRACY

    “Aristocracy is a choice we make, and a burden we carry, in exchange for the freedom to flourish to the best of our abilities. Yet we cannot ask those whose flourishing depends on collective efforts to adopt individual risk and reward.”
