    SUCCESS?

    1) Develop a long-term model that you can use to make endless decisions with.

    2) Decide, instruct and act decisively and consistently in accordance with that model. Big decisions are not as impactful as the thousand decisions everyone makes every day.

    3) Reduce your model to a mantra or phrase that all staff can use to make concurrent decisions in the multitudinous tie breakers that face all of us when choosing between relatively equal outcomes. Otherwise they will act in their own interests, or with false economy on those thousand little decisions every day.

    4) Generate opportunities that you can act on far in advance when they are very cheap. (Act on what is important but not urgent.) Make lots of cheap early bets. Plant lots of seeds.

    5) In the face of complexity, choose the solution that covers most bets while accomplishing the central objective, not the most efficient or optimum solution.

    6) Revise your model whenever possible to accommodate new learning.

    7) Act as truthfully, morally and ethically as possible with your peers and subordinates, and as ruthlessly as possible with competitors. A good reputation produces discounts on all actions and transactions.

    8) Attract, Build, and Keep Key Talent. Dispose of weak talent.

    9) Be extremely jealous of your think-time, and make sure you get plenty of it.

    10) Investors are creditors, not friends.

    11) Work in the interests of your customers and staff and they will take care of your investors. You can’t do it any other way.

    12) Work more than anyone else does. Because hard work is all that makes a marginal difference.

    CIVIC EVOLUTION?

    (important idea) (very interesting)

    1) TEMPLE(adds cooperation)

    2) —–>CHURCH(adds education)

    3) ————->BANK(adds production)?

    Were the templars the highest political order we achieved? (yes?)

    I have been fairly certain that the most important recent institutional development has been the Credit Union.

    But what if your credit union also offered education?

    Individual + Family + Credit Union + Insurance + Education.

    Individual + Partnership + Banking + Investing + Treasury.

    Individual + Unit + Regiment + Militia.

    Individual + House + Government + The Law.

    !!!! Is the central bank the central force prohibiting the conversion of Credit Unions into the central means of producing a civic order? !!!!

    Dammit. Yes it is. Wow. Awesome. !!!!!!

    I think this is my big idea for Q3 2015.

  • AMERICAN WEALTH (from elsewhere) American prosperity is determined by the follow

    AMERICAN WEALTH

    (from elsewhere)

    American prosperity is determined by the following:

    1) the anglo-german proclivity for paying the high personal cost of truth-telling in all walks of life – it is the greatest tax we pay. It is also unique in the world. if you aren’t germanic, or at least northern European, you’re probably irreparably corrupt and a liar and you don’t even realize it.

    2) the anglo common law which rapidly adapts to new forms of parasitism as quickly as they are invented.

    3) the anglo (non-continental) common law bias, such that we permit everything and resolve conflicts later in court, vs the continental bias that requires approval from some authority in advance in order to prevent conflicts in court.

    4) Prior to 1963, the requirement for membership in the absolute nuclear family prior to engaging in reproduction.

    5) The sale of a new continent to new homeowners using fiat credit.

    6) The sale of consumer goods to homeowners previously incapable of home ownership.

    7) The USA’s use of it’s inherited British empire (navy and bases) to set terms of international finance and trade.

    8) The stock market which creates a lottery effect for innovators.

    9) It’s stable currency

    SLAVERY OR RIGHTS OF ASSOCIATION

    1 – Right of Entrance / Exit.

    2 – Right of Association / Disassociation.

    3 – Right of Trade / Boycott

    If you cannot exit, determine, association and disassociation, choose whom to trade and whom to boycott, then you are a slave. Period.

  • The First Principles of Propertarian Ethics

    [M]an.

    1 – Man must acquire resources.
    2 – Man must act to acquire resources.
    3 – Man must act cooperatively to disproportionately improve acquisition of resources.
    4 – Man must act to preserve and extend cooperation to preserve the disproportionate rewards of acquisition through cooperation.
    5 – Man acts to preserve and extend cooperation by the suppression of parasitism that creates the disincentive to cooperate, and therefore decreases the disproportionate rewards of acquisition through cooperation.
    6 – Man conducts parasitism by violence, theft, fraud, fraud by obscurantism, fraud by moralizing,  fraud by omission, externality, free riding, privatization of commons, socialization of losses, conspiracy, conversion, immigration, conquest, war and genocide.
    7 – Man suppresses parasitism by threats of interpersonal violence, promises of interpersonal violence, interpersonal violence, interpersonal ostracization from cooperation, organized ostracization via norms and commerce, when he must by remuneration, and when he can by organized violence in law and war.

  • Information Systems for the Persistence of Man

    SYSTEMS G-GENES, 0-PROPERTY, 1-INTUITION, 2-REASON, 3-COOPERATION(REPRODUCTIVE DIVISION OF PERCEPTION, COGNITION, KNOWLEDGE, LABOR)

    (profound) (worth repeating)

    [O]ur logical capacity extends to the limits defined by the flight of an arrow. For more complex multi-dimensional relations we resort to the cartesian representations. And if the problem is more complicated than that, then our reason, and ability to envision causal relations, is terribly frail.

    And if I am correct (and it appears at present that I am), then “System 0″ is little more than a producer of reward and punishment endorphins in response to increases or decreases in an individual’s inventory of “property”. Property that is necessary for his life, cooperation and reproduction.

    Emotions are reactions to changes in state. Changes in state are determined by changes in property. Humans act to acquire that which improves their condition. Humans resent and punish, at great personal expense, appropriations of that which they have acted to acquire.

    Reason (Stanovich’s System “2”) rides on the elephant of intuition (Stanovich’s System “1”), whose objects of consideration ( Doolittle’s System “0”) are what we call ‘property’. Our brains are difference engines. And we calculate differences in property: that which we have acted to obtain.
