    I am really afraid of genetically engineering bacteria.

    I am not afraid at all of genetically engineering large mammals.

    Will someone please make a lion that won’t attack people?

    The reason we don’t have a lot of species left on this planet is that we didn’t pacify them.

    Now some animals can be pacified by domestication.

    But other animals must be pacified by genetic engineering.

    Most pacification means limiting maturity to the minimum necessary for reproduction.

    Professor of internal medicine at local university with enormous patient practice.

    Yes, agrees that care is better here, even if surgery better in the states.

    Why? Diagnostic attention.

  • TIME TO ABANDON RATIONALIST TOYS AND LEARN SCIENCE LIKE THE BIG BOYS. Jeff Tucke

    TIME TO ABANDON RATIONALIST TOYS AND LEARN SCIENCE LIKE THE BIG BOYS.

    Jeff Tucker is a good man but like Phillip argues as a justificationalist and a rationalist and not a scientist.

    I am not so concerned about defeating the arguments of moral men no matter how foolishly they are constructed.

    That their central premise is belief consisting of shoulds, and therefore our religion stated without reference to divinity is failure by demonstration of construction alone.

    While as a scientist the central premise is necessity consisting of articulated law, and identical in construction to all sciences by contrast is success by construction alone.

    That the thinkers of the twentieth century could not transition from justificationary moral rationalism to critical and necessary and scientific argument is the reason for the persistence of these rothbardian nonsense arguments consisting of little more than the Talmud’s separatism restated in the terminology of Anglo rationalism.

    I think I have reformed moral philosophy forever by providing what the twentieth century thinkers failed to.

    But just as Marxism persists because of its self referencing non correspondent justificationary literary form and overinvestment by advocates, rothbardianism likewise is a self referencing, non correspondent, justificationary literary, construction easy to access without substantial knowledge and subject to overinvestment by advocates.

    I mean I don’t expect Hoppe to abandon the fallacies of argumentation, the deductivity of aprioristic observation, the insufficiency of inter subjectivity, the irrationality of his community construction either since his self worth and status are predicated on these falsehoods rather than his insights into incentives that result from his constructions under the logic of property rights – which are flawless and correct Rothbard in many cases.

    These are good people doing the best that they can with the rationalist tools at their disposal, but they are hardly intellectual competitors.

    Iron Age argumentative weaponry in an era of crucible steel and explosives.

    Eras:

    1-Religion. Mysticism.

    2-Law. Rationalism.

    3-Credit. Pseudo scientism

    4-Digital Reputation. Science.

    Welcome to the new age. It is time for priests, rationalists, and philosophers, like children to give up their toys.

    Liberty is the product of the organised use of violence to suppress parasitism in all its forms, so that we may voluntarily produce commons of which liberty is the first.

    (nerd science)(stupid gun stuff)

    Just watched two videos. Trying under full auto to break AR15 and AK47.

    Barrels failed on both guns. But the AR15 at 900 and 3x the rounds of the AK at 300. Why? Because in the time it takes you to change a 30 round mag, the barrel can largely recover, as well as the gas system. If you switch to 50 (AR15) and 75(AK) round mags, the barrel will not have that recovery. The AK heated up much faster than the AR, and then on top of it, they put the AK through a 75 round mag, and then the next 30 round mag wouldn’t feed, and the barrel was curved as hell. The AR barrel busted at the narrow point before the gas outlet.

    With the new 416 I prefer the AR simply because it’s so damned easy to shoot. But you know for general badassery the AK still rules.

    “THE GREAT DISTRACTION: THE 20TH CENTURY EXPERIMENT WITH COSMOPOLITANISM’S SECOND ATTEMPT AT MYSTICISM AND THE SECOND TRIUMPH OF SCIENCE”

    I mean, pretty much anything written through 1929 was pretty good. But starting with Boaz, Marx and Freud, and culminating in the 1970’s, cosmopolitanism and feminism tried and failed to create a new order – they merely destroyed the european order. Thanks to science we will overthrow conquest of the west by women and jews and slaves a second time.

    Someone else want to write that book? It needs writing.

    I have enough work to do.

    DEAR FELLOW INTELLECTUALS, PARTICULARLY IN ACADEMIA

    The language of social science is now and will forever be, economics, just as the language of ratios is and will be mathematics. But when we say economics, we mean not monetary economics, but the terminology of costs, discounts and premiums. The effect of asymmetry of information. The language of equilibria.

    Acquisition, Inventory, Property-en-toto (demonstrated property)

    Incentive and retaliation

    Voluntary and moral exchange, involuntary and immoral takings.

    Cooperation, Boycott, and War.

    Acquisitions, Costs, and Full Accounting

    Opportunity costs, Transaction Costs

    There’s no problem with ‘scientism’ that isn’t a problem with science.
