Dinner at Churasco.
Piles of beef.
Johannes Meixner across the table just called me a troll.
Its true. I like to instigate a little mischief. But don’t we all? 😉
Where I come from its called trash talkin’: tryin’ to start something.
Man up. ;).
Liberty is for alphas, not beggars, pleaders, justifiers and free riders.
Pussy-tarians an’ all that.

Working on a few pieces at once, and running out of gas.
– secular religion this morning was an important piece.
– Still responding to Wendy on Rothard. (People’s logic amazes me)
– Really good piece on why macdonald is right but that criticizing others doesn’t help us – and how propertarianism is not racist, or racial, but universally applicable.

(I am onto something new, and I can sense it, but I can’t tell what it is exactly… I think at the very edge of my mind I sense a solution….)

(Getting a little crazy with excitement on this end, so apologies if I’m a little silly. I have been working so long on this problem, and it’s taken me to ideas that I never would have imagined when I started.)

(Its like college! I live in an apartment with young women and we can walk around in our underwear. Right now the girls are drinking Jack in the kitchen. lol Everyone follows the traditional path to self confirmation of maturity by getting a house of their own to maintain, and possessions to serve as entertainment. But the smart and fun thing to do is to live with a bunch of friends or family and inventory your cash because you provide each other with entertainment. Why didn’t someone explain this to me when I was 16? ) 🙂

UNPREDICTABLE JOURNEY
I started out on this journey simply because watching my people unable to argue their values on television was so painful that I needed to give them a language to do so.
Well yeah.
Now I will give them the moral argument to take their civilization back, and the institutional framework to restore and preserve it.
Overachiever I guess.
lol

NO ONE LOVES A SLAYER OF GODS
(lament)(stat of affairs)
You know, I’m slaying my own gods. Which, I don’t think other people appreciate. 🙂
It takes a lot of guts to slay your own gods. What are you left with, when you have slain them? Yourself.
But you cannot say you pursue truth if you are not wiling to slay your gods if they are false gods. You merely pursue comfort or confirmation. Not truth.
So we have now Mises, Rothbard and Popper – all of whom are half right and half tragically wrong because of their use of pseudoscience and verbalism to attempt to expand the cosmopolitan social norms of the insular ghetto to the rest of the world. Just as we white folk have tried to apply northern european high trust norms to the rest of the world. Just as the Muslims wish to. Just as the Germans tried to.
But you see, democracy is itself a folly, while truth telling, property rights, the common law, and the militial guarantee of property rights and the common law, have allowed us the luxury of limited democracy in the past. And we tried to export democracy rather than truth telling, property rights, the common law, and militial guarantee of property rights and the common law.
But worse, the jewish system failed them. They have been murdered and persecuted for their system, and nearly eradicated outside of Europe, and only not eradicated in Europe because of anglos.
So Huntington’s clash of civilizations, and Kotin’s tribes turn out to be a fairly accurate description of the state of the world. We have tried the enlightenment (anglo) model, and while science has succeeded, democracy has failed. We have tried the french model and it is currently failing catastrophically. We have tried the jewish model and it has been an unmitigated disaster for the west. We have tried the german model, and we crushed it.
The enlightenment political ambition – the promise of universalism – has been a catastrophic failure everywhere we have taken it.
It may not be clear to the people who follow me yet, but the highest correspondence between human institutions, truth, science, and therefore correspondence with reality. is constructed by truth, property, the common law, and scientific inquiry. And truth is only desirable to a minority of peoples. For most, truth, and therefore, property, liberty, are only available to a minority of peoples.
Universalism is done unless it is conducted at the lowest common denominator.

( Just bought peaches and plums at the stand outside. Fruit in Ukraine just tastes amazing. As long as you don’t have to earn a living here, living here is awesome. 🙂 )

I am off in territory again where no one is following me, and I’m not doing a very good job of helping them either.
I realize that part of my technique is not to put out the central theory, but just its components. And the reason is so that I can explore the components, rather than try to defend the central theory as if I’m selling a new kind of automobile.
But I think I am at the point where without that central theory or suite of theories, that nothing makes any sense to anybody.
I am after all, talking about property and law, and the various means of free riding / imposing costs. And using work from the philosophy of science to do it.
And while under the physical sciences we do not yet know any first principle,and therefore no truth tests are possible, in law we do know the first principle, and that is the imposition of costs on others: the violation of property.
So while in science the unknowns are at least theoretically permanent, in law they are not.
Which is why we have a different problem to deal with.
