  • A Challenge – Only Hoppe Can Debate Me

    —“First they ignore you , then they ridicule you, then they fight you then you win.”—

    [O]nly a dishonest man would recommend people not read something, rather than attack the central argument of the author. But then, dishonesty is central to the ghetto ethic, is it not?

    If you do not understand the central arguments, that is one thing, but ignorance or incompetence is not a criticism of me, it is a statement about your judgement of the mirror.

    So READ this list. Read Hoppe’s Aristocracy, Monarchy, Democracy. Read Mencius – both of these works are criticisms not solutions. These answers are: Organized violence, property-en-toto, property rights by reciprocal insurance, the symmetry of morality and property rights, and the rule of organic evolutionary law, operationally stated and calculatively constrained, praxeology resurrected as operationalism, and science as the struggle to evolve the means of speaking the truth. Watch my videos. And follow me in Propertarianism, as I drag liberty back into aristocracy and out of the medieval ghetto – kicking and screaming against the objection of a generation of failed libertines using the techniques of the marxists, to create a cult of ideology, rather than an operational institutional framework for the restoration of liberty by demonstrable actions.

    THE SHORT LIST: THE CURRENT STATE OF KNOWLEDGE

    Hans Hoppe: Democracy The God That Failed
    Doolittle: Propertarianism. High Trust Ethics Necessary for Anarchy

    A THEORY
    The only person who can compete with the argument that I make is hoppe – just as he did with his new essay – by adopting my positions: the source of liberty is violence, and the only source of liberty the law, and that argumentation is a legal constraint not a functional one. And that only by operationalism – constructing decisions by incentives and available information – is human action rationally and scientifically explicable.

  • More Mises Institute Reaction to Propertarianism 😉

    I don’t remember who in the thread above wondered aloud whether something Curt Doolittle wrote was a joke or not. This is generally a problem with reading what Curt Doolittle writes. It is one of the reasons I recommend not trying to read him. He has been captured by a mania for categorization, and the schema of categorization which he has constructed is largely unintelligible to anyone else. It might be that by reading him with close attention, one could, over time, learn to make sense of his writings. I myself have no interest in pursuing that strategy and am happily willing to do without whatever benefits might be attendant on such a strategy.  –  Jeff Riggenbach

    Or Jeff Riggenbach – is it that the categorization I rely upon is scientific rather than rationalist, externally correspondent instead of justificationary, and that it successfully discredits the impossible, objectively immoral, and now failed, rothbardian program upon which your organization’s income depends? 

    I have taken on a scale of work that few have dared or tried to by reforming hoppe’s cosmopolitan and kantian rationalism into the language of contemporary science. We have sufficient science now to do it.

    I have done this to save liberty from the lunatic fringe: rothbardian ghetto morality, rothbardian and misesisan pseudoscience, blockian immorality, rockewellian conspiracy theory, the pervasive adoption of marxist critique (which you demonstrate above), and hoppe’s misguided foray into habermasian justification.

    I am quite confident that no living philosopher can defeat the set of arguments I have put forth – even at their current level of maturity. And that is not a threat that I make without confidence that science has taught us that it is the language by which we speak truthfully, and german and cosmopolitan rationalism, a language by which we have constructed better and more effective lies of more murderous harm than any since the invention of scriptural religion.

    So, you have a choice: Abandon immoral, marxian, pseudoscientific, pseudo-rational, cult nonsense that harms our pursuit of liberty on a daily basis, by casting and demonstrating libertarians and those who desire liberty as the lunatic fringe and liberty as a minority proposition of fools, libertines and outcasts.

    Only the socially dysfunctional, socially marginalized and autistic spectrum public has adopted the rothbardian approach. And the era has peaked and your funding is collapsing. 

    And that is a good thing. You can, like all intellectual movements, reform, or you can perish. You can either abandon the cosmopolitans and germans and join the scientific world, or remain a cult language of rebellion against modernity.

    The Anglo enlightenment contained errors. The german enlightenment contained elaborate justifications by elaborate verbalisms. But the Cosmopolitan enlightenment was the most destructive force that man has faced since Abraham spun Zoroaster into monotheism as warfare.

    So welcome to the revolution. 

    Join it or be ended by it. I don’t, we don’t, beg for approval, we seek defeat.

    Liberty in our lifetime.

    JUAN ORTIZ

    Not that it matters particularly, and I only know second hand, but apparently Ortiz is up to his theatrics. So it’s worth setting the record straight.

    1) I thought Oritz was just another dysfunctional Aspie. Andy Curzon was investing in him and so I did the same – mostly out of respect for Andy, who wanted to do in London what Roman is doing here in L’viv. Apparently Andy helped Juan come to London.

    2) Ortiz was running out of money and clearly not making good decisions. So I gave him some work to do. The idea being that if he could start with simple work he could participate in something other than illegal-alien construction work.

    3) I pre-paid him 2K USD to do some very simple business analysis filling out a spreadsheet with skills data.

    4) He did next to nothing, but give me excuses for almost two months.

    5) He asked me for more money. and I stated that our experiment had failed and my attempt to help him had originally been a luxury but now I must get the work done professionally.

    6) Someone else here in L’viv did the work in four days – a few hours really.

    7) Ortiz comes out as a critic.

    I think “Yet another example of how no good deed goes unpunished.”

    I’m a sucker for lost puppies. I know.

  • The Mises Institute’s Cult Of Language

    [T]he way the Jewish people held sway over their members, is the same way that all religious cults hold sway: there are mandatory beliefs, mandatory language, and mandatory rituals that one must follow or be ostracized. And as long as the benefits of the group are sufficient that threat of ostracization provides incentive to hold to those norms, then people do so out of purely utilitarian choice.

    Rallying and Shaming of the Feminists and Socialists works by the same means: neo-puritan and postmodern language demands verbal, belief, and ritualistic conformity or they will rally, shame, and attempt to ostracize you.
    Ludwig von Mises attempts to create an equally mandatory pseudoscience of praxeology in order to demand compliance of members. Rothbard expanded Mises’ approach and this approach was a failure until Rockwell and Tucker use the new medium of the web to compete with the old media. And for a short while, it worked.

    However, science and truth telling have won the day and the world now speaks in science – leaving mises verbal cult adrift and associated with the lunatic fringe.

    And even worse, the world has been systematically abandoning philosophy as a cult language for more than half a century. And its important that the world does so, because philosophy was the ruse under which these systems of lies were constructed and propagated.

    That is simply because science corresponds more accurately with reality than does any other form of language – because scientists have the least perverse incentives than anyone other than mathematicians. And even mathematicians still engage in fanciful platonism – moreso than do scientists.

    So what use is philosophy? Prior to propertarianism, cognitive science and experimental psychology, I think it was necessary for debating moral discourse. But at present, as far as I can see, it is merely a primitive system of measurement limited to human scale. Perhaps, better stated, it is the means by which we attempt to construct theories such that we may test them, refine them, and state them operationally.


    In that sense, philosophy, is merely a looser member of the logics, and a subset of science, which in turn is a subset of truth telling.

  • EVERY DOLLAR YOU GIVE TO THE MISES INSTITUTE IS A DOLLAR USED TO HARM THE CAUSE

    EVERY DOLLAR YOU GIVE TO THE MISES INSTITUTE IS A DOLLAR USED TO HARM THE CAUSE OF LIBERTY.

    It’s too bad the “Mises Institute” has so little to do with mises and so much to do with Rothbard. Mises is possible to resurrect, as I’ve demonstrated, as just not quite getting it right. But Rothbard’s immorality would require a systematic purge of his works from intellectual history of liberty.
