    WORTH REPEATING. IMPORTANT PIECE.

    Aristocracy is Negative: Critical and Scientific, a Republic is Positive: Justificationary and Rational.

    See how critical rationalism plays here?

  • Names (truth) vs Analogies (deceits)

    [A] sequence of operations consists of names. I can name that sequence of operations. An experience or an observation or an imagination of cause and effect is an analogy. Names may or may not convey meaning. THey may or may not convey loadings which we, as moral creatures, feel are terribly important. But operations are names and experiences are analogies. I have a pretty low opinion of meaning. It’s a vehicle for comprehension yes.

    But that comprehension is by definition loaded. And loading and framing are means of deceit.

  • No More Slavery, Conquest, and Colonization

    [S]o if we cannot parasite upon others, and control their reproduction (slavery) then why can others parasite upon us and limit our reproduction (through redistribution and taxation)? If we cannot colonise others, then why can others colonise us? Forcible Redistribution Is Slavery. Forced immigration is colonisation. Statism is Slavery. Nationalism. Meritocratic immigration.

  • COOPERATION IS EITHER MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL OR VIOLENCE IS PREFERABLE COOPERATION

    COOPERATION IS EITHER MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL OR VIOLENCE IS PREFERABLE

    COOPERATION MATTERS. Not just between members of the PRODUCTIVE economy, but between members of the REPRODUCTIVE economy. We have to cooperate. Not parasite. OTHERWISE COOPERATION IS NOT PREFERABLE TO PREDATION.

  • Propertarianism is Radical not Reactionary

    Josh Jeppson said something smart last night: that Propertarianism isn’t conservative (reactionary) but innovative. That’s true.

    But then, how do I position it? —“You don’t want to go back to something (maybe some things but not all), so you’re not a reactionary, you don’t want to conserve what we have so you aren’t a conservative, and you don’t want to take what we have further, so you aren’t a progressive. You are (gasp) a revolutionary”—Adam Felix
