CARING ABOUT LIBERTARIANISM
(humor)(truth)
“The reason I seem to care so much about libertarianism is because I believe a correct understanding of the science of economics puts severe limits on what government can accomplish” – Peter Boettke
I agree. Although, the reason I care so much about libertarianism, is because the government can accomplish so much. And almost all of it turns out to be bad, or worse. 🙂

GAME OF THE YEAR: “GOVERNMENT ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE” (updated) 🙂
I want to play zombie apocalypse game where all the zombies are different levels of politicians, bureaucrats, public sector workers. Everyone, in the government, for some reason, is infected with the virus of totalitarian humanism, or maybe it was a verbal information virus created by german postmodernists, or maybe it was put on all government paychecks like in ‘the white plague’.
Whatever the cause, they’re all ‘infected’ and will turn into unstoppable zombies if we don’t kill them fast enough. The longer they’re zombies, the stronger they are and the harder to kill. In groups they can feed off each other, and ‘heal’, albeit slowly. They chase other uninfected statists, and if they attack them long enough, the statists turn into zombies too. But both the zombies and the statists will try to kill you. The statists to take your money and weapons. The zombies for your flesh. You get all sorts of upgrades for killing increasing levels of statists: you get your constitutional rights back as you kill them and this gives you upgrades (access to find) new sorts of weapons.
Best if it’s a multiplayer, team based game.
Freaking hilarious. And it would actually be really fun to play.

IRONIC HUMOR
(funny)
Criticizing the use of obscurant language while using obscurant language to insult the other party.
I shouldn’t lower myself to doing this sh_t, but sometimes I cant help myself, because it’s just too much fun. It’s like teasing a cat with a laser. They can’t control themselves….. Endlessly entertaining. The victims of postmodern education. .

@ MICHAEL
The purpose of Postmodern speech is to change the meaning and value of terms in order to create a secular religion of totalitarian humanism.
That you don’t grok this a statement about you, not a statement about the assertion.
It’s not like it’s uncommon knowledge.

I find a religion of humanism to be a problematic construct.
BY: Curt Doolittle
That is not a criticism. 🙂 And you are not a measurement. 🙂 Only your arguments are.
But, then lets look at Denial? The impossibility of material equality? The impossibility of political diversity? The impossibility of equality of ability? Or, my favorite: the evidence that the peer review process is nearly ineffective, and that the requirement for a book length treatment written in operational language appears to be the only empirical test of ideas? How about my favorite: The denial that mathematical platonism is an obscurant means of preserving verbal shortcuts and numerous errors?
Knowledge of facts in a domain, and mastery of a specific discipline can compensate for a lack of intelligence. However, mastery of the art of thought, and the identification of true, utilitarian, and false statements appears to be a matter for experts in that field.
The most important denial is this: the Dunning Kreuger curve. The inability for the incompetent to judge their own ability. 🙂

I’d rather be celebrating the wonder of the earth, and our relationship with it, than the worship of false gods, the worst of which is the state.
“A STATE HOLIDAY IS A CELEBRATION OF THE STATE”
I’d rather celebrate family, heroes, seasons, and the earth, than the state.

Kirill: “Wait. Do we store the current currency rate when we allocate the resource, or do we store the price?”
Curt: “We store a ‘value’ or a ‘cost’ as a base currency when the action takes place at a given point in time; but a ‘price’ is a time independent number and currency that we don’t have to store in converted form. The question is whether you’re storing a price or a value.”
Kirill: “That’s right… So…. this, but…..”
Curt: “Oh… Yeah. F___K… that means”.
Kirill: “F____KKKKK!!!!”
Curt: “There is a reason very few companies do this you know.”
Kirill: “Yeah. Because it’s so F___KING HARD!!!”
(laughter)
Of course Kirill actually remembers all the business rules in the entire application and how to apply them. He wrote the workflow and state engines. He wrote the multi-currency system. And the multi-dimensional organizational system. Now he’s working on the entity types (different types of ‘tasks’ and how to calculate their current and forecast values.)
So. When he says “F___K” that means something is actually pretty damned hard. lol
Kirill Latish . Love you man. lol :’)

You know, after decades of developing literally THOUSANDS of software implementations for customers in everything from core IT, to business applications, to commercial products to silly advertising campaigns, its sort of LIBERATING to make your own software and do it RIGHT.
Joy. Happy joy-joy feelings from Edgar Friendly.
