WE PURCHASED NEW DOMAINS 🙂

After some work, we have just purchased domains ARISTOCRATIA.COM, ARISTOCRATIA.NET. This allows us to separate my work from everyone else’s contributions. ( A site for “Us” site rather than just me.)

Obviously I want to address the categories:

1) Aristocratic Egalitarianism. (source of property rights)

2) Propertarianism (trust, prohibition on free riding, voluntary exchange, common law.)

3) Testimonial Truth and Operationalism. (epistemology)

4) Contractual Government. (which I haven’t come out of the closet with yet)

5) Revolution and Reformation (nullification, secession, insurrection, civil war)

6) Counter-Enlightenment (inequality, diversity, compatibility)

7) Counter-Critique (Speaking the Truth rather than lying and obscurantism).

8) Debate (rhetoric)

I think we should:

a) Use a wall street journal format of some sort. (abstracts linking to articles). And keep a lot of active articles on the front page.

b) Not be afraid to link to other web sites and ideologies if they post good content.

c) Allow users to ‘rate’ articles both with likes/dislikes (along with comment), and most importantly to select which form of argument is being made (see my forms of argument). This last bit educates authors and readers about the quality of their arguments. Although I suspect this will require editorial effort. Lastly, to allow users and authors to rate whether an article (or post) is criticism or advocacy.

d) Promote active posters and their names and faces.

e) Set our goal of 100 people who can argue the four topics, and use the site to recruit and train those people.

f) Try to advocate solutions rather than just levy criticisms.

ALSO – NEWS SITE

We are also working on a NEWS SITE for Europe. 🙂 But I’m not driving that one. And I haven’t seen the editorial strategy or talking points, but we’re going to get that moving too.

Slowly. One thing at a time.
