THE INSTITUTION OF PROPERTY IS A EUGENIC ONE
Or isn’t that obvious? And isn’t that the complaint against it?
Does it all really boil down to that, and nothing else?

“IT DON’T WERK THAT WAYE” 🙂
All knowledge does is convince you of your ignorance. All a lot of knowledge does is convince you that every one is even else is even more ignorant than you are. Knowledge isn’t power. It’s humility.

“Diversity without commonality is not community, it’s estrangement.”
Today’s rhetorical gem.
See Sowell’s post on diversity as a substitute for thought.
The evidence is in, that diversity is a bad. And that the people who promote it are seeking status at others expense.
But facts aren’t important.

“Group selection constrains surplus and spreads subsistence.”
Aristocracy defeats group selection.
I think I can reduce the western canon to that statement.

I love this country. Every soul in it.
Because they think about the government, exactly like I think of all government.
Thirty seven flavors of Baskin Robbins Ice Cream? How about 230 flavors of government corruption.

WE TRADE INTERPERSONAL CORRUPTION …
We trade interpersonal corruption, which is endemic in the rest of the world, for systemic corruption of organizations in the western world.
I am still struggling a bit to be sure that I understand these processes. But certainly coercion exists equally in these societies. The question is the transfer of transaction costs from individuals to organizations. It is far easier and cheaper for us to interact with one another. But it appears it is equally complicated for the organizations that we belong to (political parties) to resolve high friction differences.
Economic productivity then, is gained by the process of pressing free riding and rent seeking and that form of involuntary transfer that we call price competition from a property of personal relations, both into the market where it is not visible and it is morally sanctioned, but also, into the political system.

WISDOM
Genius isn’t omniscience.
It’s just spending more time on a problem than anyone has before.
And spending that time standing on the shoulders of others.
Omniscience is for the gods.
Men are mortal, and reason is frail.
And we are almost always proven by later men, to be fools.
We can never know. We can only try.
And observe what succeeds or fails.
This is the meaning of wisdom.
And humility and skepticism are it’s products

The Virtue Of Organized Violence
We can use organized violence to create government. We can use organized violence to create property rights. We can use organized violence to enforce property rights. We can use organized violence to destroy property rights. But you can have neither government nor property rights without violence. The source of freedom is violence. Violence is a virtue.
