    Question. Imagine a line, say, on the floor, then on the street, then in the sky. And think about the properties of a line, so that you can describe it. Now, at what length does your definition of a line fail? what are the limits of a ‘line’?

  • Should Propertarians Be Considered Libertarians? Why Or Why Not?

    ”Propertarian” was originally used in a derogatory sense to refer to the those people for whom all questions of social decidability were reduced to questions of property. Over time this has evolved into an accurate description of the libertarians of various stripes.

    Today we have a branch of political theory (to which I’m one of the major contributors), we specifically call ‘Propertarianism”, where we have used the reduction of all questions of ethics, morality, politics, economics, to questions of property, and as a consequence created a formal grammar of Natural Law – which while wordy and terminologically rigorous is very hard for courts to interpret or legislators to construct dishonestly.

    However, in the process of doing so we discovered that the two branches of libertarianism were irreconcilably opposed.

    1) the first of which we would consider jeffersonian constitutionalism – the attempt to create a written constitution derived from natural law (an inclusive law) – with the retention of the enlightenment demand for the production of commons; And so we use the term “Propertarian” and not libertarian.

    and;

    2) the second of which we would consider the attempt to apply eastern european Jewish law (a separatist law) to natural law absent commons – such that each branch contained an entirely different ethical and moral basis. This group varies between the use of the terms anarcho-capitalism and libertarian.

    So we now separate high trust anglo saxon natural law of the classical liberal period (Anglo common law), from the low trust eastern european law of the borderland period (Ukraine/Russia).

    This same division applies to the term Austrian Economics, which we separate into the Christian Mengerian attempt to bring the calculus to economics, and the Jewish and Misesian attempt to state economics as an axiomatic system – effectively as law.

    We can view the Anglo Empirical, German Rationalist, and Jewish Hermeneutic traditions as conceptual boxes each culture has a very hard time eliminating its dependence upon.

  • Why Do Some Caucasian Men Prefer Asian Women?

    THE CORRECT ANSWER

    While descending from two widely separated waves “generations” that moved out of Africa, Whites have succeeded in significant juvenilization. Asians have succeeded in far greater juvenilization. Asian women are the most juvenilized women on earth. To the point at which they have even gained extended lifespans by delaying the depth of and onset of sexual maturity (compare to central asians, arabs, and sub saharan africans that have NOT engaged in juvenilization.) Secondly, for reasons I am not sure I am confident in addressing, Asians distribute their fat more evenly. And thirdly, Asian IQ is slanted to our educated classes (I suspect it is a narrower distribution because of the juvenilization – and the asian predilection for killing off malcontents in large numbers). So between a ‘more immature look’, more petite look, better weight distribution, and higher average intelligence, the pool of asian women is objectively better than the pool of available white women. Conversely asian women pay a price for mongoloid facial features, and in places like eastern europe where women maintain their weight and walk a great deal, and dress well, asian women lose their advantage.

    That’s just how it is. (I spend an absurd amount of time on mating patterns.)

    That said, it’s largely asian women and white men that account for the increase in American race mixing, since the other numbers are remaining relatively stable. (relatively).

    This is yet another example of the fact that all human behavior can be reduced to some statement analogous to economics.

    Asian women are a better ‘buy’ than white women for average males. White males are often a much better buy than equivalent asian males who have their own decreased market value. Largely because asians seem to require high context culture (which I won’t go into) and whites thrive in low context cultures. (as is evident in our languages). So asian men in asia and here are at a disadvantage.

    cheers

  • Do You Feel A Sense Of Relief When You Know You Are Going To Die Soon?

    I’ve been there. Three times. And no. You don’t feel a sense of relief. You do however develop a distinct clarity regarding what is important to you and what not. And you want to do those things and nothing else. When you survive it, you think, very differently about the world, and have far fewer ‘fears’ other than not appreciating every day you have. You could misinterpret this clarity as relief. But you don’t feel relief. You simply relieve yourself of those things that do not matter to you, and worry exclusively about those things that truly do.

    —“So, is the “bottom line” of “Propertarianism” a distinction between “decidability” and “meaning”? Is that the departure point?

    Can the antimony and dichotomy of “decidability” and “meaning” be understood as the relation(ship) between Being and non-Being?

    Your philosophy is ultimately grounded in Aristotle, is that accurate?

    “–Francisco Antonio

    Yes, in order to produce an amoral, scientific language of cooperation, all statements are reduced to the transfer of assets. In this way we advocate truth and transparency and voluntary exchange: reciprocity (the balance of both sides) just as we describe a balance sheet, or just as an equation is balanced.

    SERIES

    0) Identity (Correspondence / non-correspondence)

    1) Counting (correspondence balance, including identities),

    2) Mathematical balancing, (including ratios)

    3) Accounting balancing, (including market goods with prices)

    4) Property in toto balancing. (including common goods without)

    In my view I dont’ take philosophers very seriously. And I tend only to read sciences. The science I understand is the common law of sovereign men. but the common law is parsimonious. it tells us only how to decide. it does not provide us with what we desire in a PHILOSOPHY: what is GOOD. it tells us only what is bad, so that we may all select philosophical goods from a market for philosophical goods. But as I have articulated this law to require truthfulness, reciprocity, and beauty, in the provision of ‘shoulds’, this means philosophy is then the study of preferences WITHIN the limits of Natural Law. And this presents a problem for the pseudoscientists and pseudorationalist, but not for the essayist, the novelist, or necessarily the mythicist.

    So when you say, grounded in Aristotle, I would say that greek philosophy was an attempt to improve upon then current current law. and I see Aristotle as the non-conflationist – the proto-empiricist. that applied the law to matters commonly outside the law. This is how bacon also applies the law in the evolution of empiricism. and it is how I apply the law (via Hayek) in the evolution of testimonialism – which I think is the ‘complete’ version of the empirical or scientific tradition.

    My self I see my work as grounded in popper, Kuhn, and Hayek. Philosophers of science and of law.

    If we are to label Aristotle as the first “Deflationist” in the sense of “Deflationary Truth”, then that would make me an aristotelian.

  • Why is it that you think that Facebook and Google are exporting good coding prac

    Why is it that you think that Facebook and Google are exporting good coding practice? What evidence do you have that their business models depend on good coding practices? Isn’t the browser DOM a bad model (the VHS of the internet world)? Isn’t the dead weight cost of that model equivalent to world transportation costs prior to the standardizaiton of shipping containers? I mean, we are spending how many tends of billions of dollars on coding against a problem (DOM/Javascript) that is fixable by a small number of people in a year? There is absolutely no reason for this (SHIT CODE) that is the soviet toilet paper of the technology world. I mean, seriously people. This isn’t innovation. It’s a LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF HISTORY DOOMING US TO REPEAT IT.

    OMFG.

    Just because the new kids on the block (a) invented a better yellow pages [google], and (b) invented a better email [facebook] there isn’t a lot of evidence of rocket-science thinking coming out of these organizations.

    Instead, they hire young inexperienced people straight out of college that are smart enough to solve one of the world’s dumbest problems, but too ignorant to know why they shouldn’t have to.

    seriously. I need my own planet. The hairless apes are out of the cage and their flinging digital feces everywhere.

    gah!
