TRUST IS THE MOST SCARCE AND MOST EXPENSIVE FORM OF CAPITAL
Rothbardian Libertarianism is an attack on the high trust society. It an obscurant, rationally justified, excuse for advocating, low trust, parasitic ethics of the ghetto.

THE PROBLEM OF COMMUNICATING IDEAS
Ideas are easy to communicate if you start with an assumption and then justify it.
They are a lot harder to communicate if you start with a problem and then try to solve it.
You can only make a simple statement at the end of the process.

(FACK) WE ANTHROPOMORPHIZED TRUTH FOR THE SAME REASON WE ANTHROPOMORPHIZED GODS.
Sigh. Argumentation Ethics did teach me something. The vast cost of what we surrender when we enter into debate.

AI :
Humans are acquisitive. Humans respect property (mostly). AI’s must be acquisitive only of that which is not currently property, and respect that which is property better than do humans. This is not a terribly complicated algorithmic structure. It’s a very simple rule.
If property is registered (blockchain’ed) life is pretty simple for an AI.

No matter what color you are, language you speak, the traditions you practice, or gods you worship – you must love yourself, your language, your traditions, and your gods.
But if you must leave your people to live amongst others, the question you must ask yourself is what is wrong with your people, your language, your traditions, or your gods that you should desire to live amongst those whose language, traditions and gods are different?
The only measure of a people, its language, its traditions, its gods, is the economic status that they live under. Reason functions largely as a means to lie to ourselves. The only scientific test of a culture is the economic status of its members.

“Aristocratic Egalitarianism” it is. Libertarianism is a dead end, and a discredited brand. Time to move on. Long live aristocracy. 😉

(Damn. We are just really elaborate cockroaches. Obviously artificial intelligence is possible. It’s just such a low standard…. lol)

THE SLAYING OF HEROES, GODS, AND SACRED COWS: INTUITIONISTS VERSUS SCIENTISTS
It is not something that people forgive you for. Thank you for. Appreciate you for. Or like you for.
They may at some point accept the death of that which they previously held dear. And they may politely accept your insight.
But it is quite uncommon that they embrace it.
One can easily separate scientists seeking the truth from intuitionists seeking justification, by their reaction to the death of their paradigm.

CONSERVATIVE + LIBERTARIAN + PROGRESSIVE : ETHICS AND INSTITUTIONS
Conservatives are right on morality, right on social capital, and wrong on institutions.
Libertarians are right on institutions, right on economics and wrong on morality.
Progressives are wrong on … literally everything.
Rothbardianism was a tragedy.
