    A LESSON IN SHEDDING SILLY IDEAS : DO.

    It is very hard to tell certain truths to certain groups of people. They may be friends, or partners, or allies, or people you just care about. And it’s in your interest to treat one another as peers, so that trust can reciprocate.

    But the reality is, that unless you have achieved a certain degree of perfect independence, and a certain amount of time managing hundreds if not thousands of people, you really are about as ignorant as your average liberal bimbo.

    Unless you have survived as an entrepreneur, or ceo or equivalent at some scale, have accumulated financial independence, and have an iq in the 130’s or more, and because of your survival – your need to think and function empirically – you are no longer able to harbor fantasies about yourself, others, this world, or other bits of 20th century normative nonsense, you are kind of …. stupid really, from the perspective of the big boys.

    A woman can no longer harbor fantasies when she has three or more children. A man can no longer harbor fantasies about the world when he has fifty employees. And he can no longer harbor fantasies about human beings when he has two hundred. And he can no longer harbor fantasies about himself when he has five hundred. At but a few thousand employees you are largely a calculator that cannot err without tragic consequences for everyone.

    I know that from the major capitalist’s perspective I can come across as idealistic and naive – an artist. For the simple reason that I want to pursue bigger, longer returns than the major investment community is able to rationally choose to participate in. I am an artist and philosopher dressing as an entrepreneur for a host of reasons.

    I understand the passions of young men, and in particular the struggles of those ‘on the spectrum’ who mature late, but because they do so extend their period of learning so that they can continue to develop deeper insights.

    And it’s cathartic for me to help others when there was no such help available for me.

    So sometimes, it is very hard to be silent.

    But the truth is, that men of achievement act, are not lost, are not uncertain, and are not searching. They do. And after having done, they achieve fulfillment. But having done nothing it is very hard to discover it.

    Learn to fight. Master a craft. Build a family. Join people building a business, build a business, accumulate capital. Accumulate friends and relationships. Accumulate experiences. Accumulate power and influence – or – accumulate relationships with those that do.

    Do.

    Because you cannot find fulfillment in anything meaningful if you’re ignorant, stupid, and have a head full of childish nonsense.

    CONSENSUS PRODUCES MONOPOLIES AND MONOPOLIES FAIL TO SERVE MARKET DEMANDS

    (important)

    We all need mindfulness in a method available to us.

    We all need a strategy using methods and resources available to us.

    We all need myths(narratives), ideologies (propaganda), philosophies(methods of reasoning), and sciences(methods of measurements) with which to decide how to act to pursue that strategy.

    The reason being we marginally indifferent enough to communicate within limits and cooperate within limits.

    But we are marginally different in our genetic, social, economic, physical, intellectual, and emotional abilities.

    Different enough to require different mindfulness, strategies, and means of surviving, prospering, and enjoying.

    So we are left with the problem of cooperating on means, despite different ends, and despite different genetic, social, economic, physical intellectual, and emotional abilities.

    And the only way to do so is markets of voluntary reciprocity at every scale from association to production to reproduction to commons to polities to nations.

    And the only way to facilitate that is multiple economies slave(prisoner), serf(laborer), freeman(craftsman), citizen(managerial), sovereign(executive).

    Because the slave needs direction, the serf security, the craftsman opportunity, the citizen liberty, and the sovereign institutions.

    And our folly has been the post enlightenment effort to produce a monopoly economy instead of a monopoly rule of law and a market for economies given the various needs and abilities.

    We instinctually pursue consensus and numbers beyond the scale of their utility the same way we extend our perception of ethics, economics, and physics beyond the scale of human perception, and to the point of their failure.

    The maximum value of consensus is the law of reciprocity.

    Beyond that the maximum value of any given consensus is that which can be achieved by reciprocity.

    This is the lesson of the past two centuries.

    Tripartism was a western practice because like all else in western civilization it was an empirical observation of existential reality – not a comforting lie.

  • I think that all of us search for mindfulness by the means available to us and t

    I think that all of us search for mindfulness by the means available to us and that for some of us that is from analytic to spiritual, and some from spiritual to analytic.

    As far as I know mindfulness must facilitate control over our lives, and therefore those of us with control and satisfaction are more incentivized seek analytic mindfulness alone, and those of us that have less control and are less satisfied seek increasingly spiritual forms. That appears to be the causal relationship.

    Many people have taken what they needed and moved on. And that is what I expect of people.

    Propertarianism is just like any other science. Some of us want to investigate more deeply for its own sake, some of us want to affect change to the world, and some of us want to affect internal change – and as such propertarianism is just a technology to help it.

    —“Doctors are paid way too much”— Robin Banks

    That’s not true – if anything they’re underpaid. Doctors are (empirically) the most talented subroup in america, spending an absurd amount of wealth on their educations, and their cost per patient is trivial. The problem is the overhead administration costs of regulation placed upon doctors and the vast army of clerks that are needed to support them. (that’s the deal, really).

    A doctor takes four years undergraduate, four years medical school, and three to seven years of internship, before they are eligible for a license. And they are in control of your life and death. A doctor’s average salary is 180k (round up to 200k). Thats 15 years of training. They have huge debt to repay – usually around 170k.

    Now, if you are say, a computer software engineer with the same or higher IQ than a doctor, you need little or no university education, although it helps dramatically, and if you work equally as hard, you can make as much as a doctor does for fifteen more years than a doctor does.

    So 15*200,000 = $3m + 250k for medical school, + 100K for university degree = $3.35M. Now, a resident for – let’s take an average of four years – is paid an average of 55K per year. So that’s 200-55 = 145k * 4 years = 580K. So 3.35M + .58M = $3.9M.

    Now, that means that a 30 year old MD has accumulated an average of 170k in debt before he can earn that income, despite being one of our top performing people. But can work 45 to 50 years once obtaining that – while paying an average of 20k liability insurance per year.

    Now, a software developer cannot (and need not) work that many years, but by his late 30’s has earned millions of dollars.

    The principle benefits to being a doctor are social and long term financial, for the simple reason of ever-increasing demand, and persistent shortage.

    The primary threat to your income is not the market but the government.
