    SOVEREIGNTY IS ONLY RATIONAL FOR SUPERIOR PEOPLES

    Only a superior people would choose a group strategy of Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Truth(empiricism, operationalism), and Markets in Everything – because only a superior people can compete by sovereign, reciprocal, truthful, trusting, and market-competitive means.And conversely, only inferior people would choose an alternative. Hence the few use truth and markets and the many use fictionalisms. Because there are so few who are superior to the mass of humanity.

  • What’s The Hardest Thing You’ve Ever Had To Do?

    To tolerate the vox populi’s universal Dunning Kruger confidence, moral indignation, and righteousness. Everything else is just a matter of doing a bit of time and effort.

    Animals capable of cooperation and communication evolve a heavy preference for gossip as a means of creating equality by preventing advantage. The problem is, equality is to the group’s competitive disadvantage. The Question is how to enable elites to compete for the group.

    Almost all Americans own a smartphone or a computer.

    Each device contains the library of Alexandria.

    The sum total of all world knowledge.

    You can learn anything. Why don’t you?

    Too busy tracking social status.

    Too enthralled by imagery your evolution can’t resist.

  • Everyone wants to be the leader, manager, executive, financier, politician, gene

    Everyone wants to be the leader, manager, executive, financier, politician, general, and king – until they achieve that status. And then they realize that they hold those positions because others want them to, and those that want them to, are customers that they must keep satisfied, or they will find someone else who does treat them as customers. Why is it so hard? because all customers have different interests, and all leaders have but one fundamental job: to apply scarce resources behind the best returns. And that includes defense of the organizational capital against members since all organizations consist largely of people who seek rents on that organization.

    Military service and pensions are, like police service and pensions, the optimum lower middle, and working class forms of redistribution. Risk of one’s life and limb is a capital that the less able have to invest – and one that is detrimental to invest for the more able.
