Still planning to release first topics (lesson) this week.
Unfortunately, the “Xian Defense” did a number on my time, and I lost almost two weeks. And seems like antibiotics didn’t work and I’m still carrying this bug. So… doing my best.
That said.
Scripts are done. Targeting 15-20 minute topics. 45m of content per lesson (class). (Really enjoy working on them.)
I have to demonstrate the success of a few courses before I can get others to invest. The average person has no idea how difficult it is to put together any of the series: a presentation, a workshop, a training program, or a course.
A course requires 45 hours of presentation and 90 hours of outside ‘work’. Because of the online format we can offer a range of 6(90hrs), 3(45hrs), 2(30hrs), 1(15hrs), .5(8 hrs), and .25(4hrs) credit courses – and bundle various small courses into a larger ‘collection’.
The same is for topics. By creating topics we can combine topics across courses for cross training.
Personally this is the most rewarding work I have ever done. And the idea that people can more easily access the work and do so in a community format is thrilling.
—“Hello Curt, I’d like to check in with you as to when the courses start on Propertarianism.com. http://Propertarianism.com. Is LAW103 (The Method: The Core) the first one that’ll be held? Do I understand correctly that it will start on this Monday the 25th? I think you posted that on FB at some point. Just wondering what I should do next. Thanks”—
The course LAW103 will start this week, and I will dribble out the content as we go. (Dribble is the technical term in the software, which i find kind of ‘humorous’. )
A course consists of Lessons, which consist of Topics. A topic consists of one or more videos, and an assignment.
WHEN TO JOIN:
Maybe wait until I get a few topics or lessons out (a week or two) then sign up and catch up on those lessons. (They are quite a bit of work.) This will also ensure i don’t get overwhelmed learning how to run the course myself. (although given the high quality of responses I think it’ll be easier than I thought.)
DATE:
I’m running behind because the ‘hit pieces’ made me burn two weeks on their nonsense. So I’m still producing the content.
ANNOUNCING:
I’ll announce on the FB feed when I think more people should join up without missing out, and ‘notify’ everyone via the application (institute site) email.
So. Assuming you’ve Applied (completed Course APPLY01), and if we have approved your application. you can fork over your cash in a week or two.
It’s more ‘enjoyable’ to progress along with everyone else. But it’s not required. It’s not like a classroom. We need each other to do the work, but we don’t have to all work at the same speed.

*WE ARE IN STARTUP MODE*
John was waaaay more successful than we thought and demand is outpacing our abilities – and while I started putting the institute site together in December, we are still in startup mode, and we are going to be for six months or more.
At present we just have the web site, and one class ready, one in production, on in research, and three in draft phase. So you know, it’s going to take us a year at least to fill out the courses.
And the ‘marketing stuff’ requires I devote time to researching, getting the stuff produced, finding a fulfillment house, etc…
So you know… I”m kinda in that place where I said I wouldn’t put myself again, which is extremely overloaded. So I’m just going to take my time and get things done as they can get done.
It takes years to get accreditation. It takes years to build up curriculum. It takes years to find and test out instructors. So I’m playing the long game here, because otherwise I can’t do it. Too much.

(Gary is shaming me a bit – rightfully)
There is no single-author program on this scale other than aristotle’s. While many authors have come to the same conclusions, only Hume, Kant, Hegel, Marx, and Heidegger attempted it with any degree of success. And it is this difference between the multi-author programs of the anglo world and the single author programs of the continental world that explain the difference between anglo scientific (specialization/market) and continental literary (synthesis/monopoly).
IF WE WERE NOT BEING INVADED by design to destroy our people via the kalergi plan they way other people have been destroyed by the semites, then I would be able to whittle away at these books like Hayek and put them out when ready. But the demographic pressure is forcing me to go against my intuition and nature. So it is what it is.Alba RisingWhy make it readable for normies? Let it be as concise and truthful as possible. Like a work of science. It’s up to everyone else (i.e. us) to help it permeate wider culture.Feb 17, 2019, 10:58 AMCurt DoolittleYOu talk as if that isn’t the hard part/Feb 17, 2019, 10:59 AMAlba RisingWe’re up to it!Feb 17, 2019, 11:00 AMPhilip SaundersWrite a doorstopper like The Wealth of Nations or Being and Time. A great mountain attracts the best climbers. Don’t water down the impact by spreading it over multiple small books of posts. You need to make a single blockbuster for maximum impact.Feb 17, 2019, 11:03 AMMartin ŠtěpánI really hope it’s not like Hegel. I’m just about to finish Phenomenology of Spirit and, well, I don’t get it.Feb 17, 2019, 11:07 AMCurt DoolittleIt’s like reading a novel and seeing the allegory except the novel is about psychology.Feb 17, 2019, 11:09 AMCurt DoolittleMost men write a series of books. Being in Time is only 589pp altogether. My first draft was almost three times that – which makes it impossible to edit, print, distribute, and sell.Feb 17, 2019, 11:10 AMMartin ŠtěpánI should have probably looked into the definitions being used because to me, it’s reading word salad.Feb 17, 2019, 11:11 AMCurt Doolittle(it’s just ‘silly german prose’ which is better than ‘silly bullshit french prose’)Feb 17, 2019, 11:11 AMCurt DoolittleThe books are clearly my voice and style. The difference is that I go through and ‘cut down’ the repetition, make the terms consistent, and fill in the ‘leaps of reason’, and try to organize as layers of an onion. I can do it but I get very tired after just a few hours of it.Feb 17, 2019, 11:12 AMPhilip SaundersWell if that’s the case fair enough. I just mean don’t piddle out with a 114 page Kindle download like many people seem to do these days.Feb 17, 2019, 11:13 AMCurt DoolittleThe courses are an attempt to cut the book so that I don’t have to provide background on every fucking thing, just write declaratively.Feb 17, 2019, 11:13 AMCurt Doolittleum… no. I can write 114 pages in a couple of days without much effort. At this point about ten to twenty pages a day (not close to rothbard’s 25). The problem is that my work evolved over time and I have to make it consistent and remove things I repeat often. So it’s just basically ‘editing’.Feb 17, 2019, 11:14 AMYiannis KontinopoulosWhy attempt to cut down the repetition? Repetitive stanzas make things memorable, and that’s how we got nice things like the IliadFeb 17, 2019, 11:28 AMCurt Doolittleif you read reviews of theoretical works it is one of the principle complaintsFeb 17, 2019, 11:31 AMYiannis KontinopoulosI know just kidding 😄Feb 17, 2019, 11:32 AMCurt DoolittleYiannis Kontinopoulos dick. lolzFeb 17, 2019, 11:32 AMAhmed RedaCAN’T WAITFeb 17, 2019, 11:46 AMCurt Doolittleyeah. and you’ll get it. you’ll go thru it, and you will say “i knew all of this already…” lolFeb 17, 2019, 12:08 PMAhmed Redaand I must spread the word about it…:’DFeb 17, 2019, 3:56 PMBill JoslinGary is awesome and holding you to account as it should be….

If not you – who?
Finish the courses and then tackle citations.
It might not be you who completes the academic project.
You might just be a footnote in Propertarianism.

Everything is available free online. The book is a TOME. Do yourself a favor and read what’s online. The book is for ultra nerds and makes wittgenstein look like a conversationalist. If you can’t handle what’s online you certainly can’t handle the book.
LONGER ANSWER
Like we say in software… when it’s done. (after the courses. demand for the courses created pressure). Besides it’s all online in the overview. The book is just refinement. And I am extremely paranoid about making errors in it. Because I understand it will be under a great deal of scrutiny. Ergo I don’t think the book is much more helpful than what’s online. The overview and over 6000 articles. So I don’t feel as much pressure to publish it as I do provide the courses. And the courses help me further simplify the book.
Sorry all – but while feeling better I am absolutely buried, and I have the open issues of metaphysics, stuff from bill, stuff from others, a bunch of unfinished replies, and pile of messages that ask good questions, and the assclowns of the loser-right that need a little intellectual sanitation work.
The bugs seem mostly out of the system now. We have people paying for the class already. Seems like there is a lot of interest. Late comers or the cautious can start late if they want. I will drip the course material out on a weekly basis.
