    CLOSER TO DONE

    “While any past truth may be sufficient to compel restitution, no claim of a future truth can be sufficient to compel another into cooperation.” (that’s closer)

    Closer to done. Pretty much have it. And at this point I don’t think anyone can really help me at all other than an editor to ask me to clarify certain concepts.

    And, really, that’s not something I really welcome, because while I have the time for little arguments, I don’t have the time right now to pound out pages. The product needs attention, and I’m almost in money-raising mode.

    Roman suggested we rent a Lodge in the Carpathians to finish our books together. 🙂 (His book, which he’s told me quite a bit about, will be awesome.)

    But I don’t see how to make that happen. And Oversing is too freaking awesome compared to Atlassian’s suite, Dynamics, FB and Outlook, to just let rest for a bit.

    It’s just one of those things that if we get it right, everyone will want it. I still would be happy if it was only as successful as we originally planned, and I’m not sure at this point I want to run another large company. But we have an awesome product on our hands.

    Sorry. Not sure why your particular fanatical belief should be subject to less scrutiny than your opposition’s fanatical belief.

    MODERN DANCE

    Dance seems to have ceased to be a vertical expression of a horizontal idea, a means of social bonding, and the expression of grace as the signal of our conversion from base animal to the aspiration of angels, into a sophisticated gymnastic sport set to music as a test of biomechanics limits.

    What does that mean? What is that change saying in an unindented essay about us? I am not sure I understand.

    I am out of people’s comfort zones. lol

    Sorry. I’m not searching for justification. I’m looking for answers. Looking for justification is why libertarians failed.

    If you are looking for scientific truth then you don’t get to dislike the results. They are what they are.

    And you must alter your strategy accordingly.

    Rothbardian ethics preserve the ability to ‘cheat’ by all but violence and the crudest of frauds – and rothbard supports that preservation with the argument that the market will naturally suppress that cheating. However, transaction costs alone, ensure that such suppression can’t occur. And that’s before we add in the remaining external costs of low trust.

    ON CERTAINTY

    “Thou cannot be sufficiently certain of anything that you can use argument to demand my agreement. Thou canst only seek to obtain my consent by eliminating the possibility or desirability of my position in contrast to yours.”

    To self: New Year. I wanted to know. I do. That is enough. Truth is not a matter of agreement or consent. It s not a matter of popularity or acceptance. It is merely greater correspondence than all known alternatives. That is all. And that is all it can be. The rest is vanity. And truth has no place for vanity.

  • THE “ONE LAW” IS THE PROHIBITION ON DISCOUNTS. Private property is merely a tool

    THE “ONE LAW” IS THE PROHIBITION ON DISCOUNTS.

    Private property is merely a tool for the prohibition of discounts.

    Eh… I’m the only one who gets it. But that’s the answer. we’ve been all caught up in promoting and defending private property against the state, but that’s been a distraction.

    We must suppress all discounts, or at least, as many as possible by the organized use of violence, in order to expand the scope and value of the market.

    If we expand the discounts to just cover violence theft and fraud, private property results. But that is PRIMITIVE private property.

    If we expand the discounts to all forms of discount both public and private, we end up with HIGH TRUST PROPERTY.

    Rothbard gave us PRIMITIVE private property, and propertarianism gives us HIGH TRUST private property.

    Conservatives will tolerate and embrace high trust private property and I am very much convinced that at least for christian european libertarians, I can convince them that high trust private property is superior to rothbard’s primitive private property.

    The difference is that we must use violence to suppress all discounts, and with that knowledge we see liberty in a completely different light: we must use force to implement high trust property rights at all times, and at every opportunity.

    And conversely, we cannot possess high trust private property without the constant, vigilant use of organized violence to suppress discounts.

    When all discounts are suppressed, individuals have no choice but to seek to serve others in the market.

    “LET MY PEOPLE GO”

    What then, is the difference, between the enslavement of the rabble for the satisfaction of the nobility, and the enslavement of the productive for the satisfaction of the rabble?

    “LET MY PEOPLE, GO!”

    Why should the rabble be herded and exploited for the benefit of the upper middle classes. Why should the middle and upper middle classes be herded and exploited for the benefit of the lower and elite classes?

    “LET MY PEOPLE GO! LET US DIVIDE!

    NULLIFY. RESIST. REVOLT. SECEDE!

    LET MY PEOPLE, GO!

    We have as much a right to pursue our interests as an extended family than every other people has the right to its identity and success.

    “PHARAOH!, PHARAOH!, LET MY PEOPLE, GO!”
