—“So I guess my real question is this: do you draw a distinction between justly acquired property and unjustly acquired property? If not, aren’t you just making a convoluted defense of the “might makes right” argument?”— NATHANIEL I’m going to try to answer two questions. (a) might-makes-right (b) justly acquired property (a) might does not make right, but one cannot make right without might. What makes right is voluntary cooperation. Voluntary cooperation requires non-imposition of costs against that which one has acquired without the imposition of costs. (b) we impose no costs when we acquire property by discovery(homesteading), transformation, or productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange, limited to externalities of the same constraint upon the imposition of costs. (c) What separates high trust propertarianism from low trust libertarianism, is the scope of property is not artificial in Propertarianism. It’s what’s necessary for a voluntary polity to form and persist. Curt Doolittle The Propertarian Institute

Q&A: Economic Orders
Aug 24, 2016 2:14pmQ&A: MR DOOLITTLE: QUESTION ABOUT ECONOMIC ORDERS —“Can you please elaborate on this “Once cheap labor stops, and marginal differences in knowledge are exhausted, what remains is a nation’s ability to dynamically reorganize production in real time, and to competitively innovate in real time.”Are you saying that productivity and innovation are not dependent on a nation’s wealth, size or population, but instead on how it organizes its existing resources to achieve maximum output? Basically, higher social capital = better long term growth and innovation?”— Yes. Thank you, I don’t think of putting it that way. But for example, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, are small countries with small populations. But they are homogenous germanic peoples with high trust polities. This trust is just like having oil, gold, great farmland, or any other local asset. It’s an economic advantage. So all resources being equal, the competitive difference between societies would be determined by the absence of corruption and the presence of rule of law. The conflict generally comes with the tradeoff between military, trade, and credit capacity at scale, and ability to suppress corruption and tailor law, policy, and norms to the needs of local groups. -

Has anyone added ‘NAXALT’ to a list of cognitive biases yet? Or has the cognitive bias list by anyone been updated to reflect gender differences in cognitive biases? We have MORAL biases by the genders worked out, but do we have cognitive biases?

Are you rationalizing? Are you sure it’s not possible? Are you sure it’s to promote a path to truth?

@curtdoolittle get mass media. Just seems lying is a neutral trait. Lies are used to promote truth or path toward truth. Dialectics I guess.

( why can’t we get the alt-right midde class version to start working twitter, quora, and wikipedia, reporting ‘disrespectful’ articles and posts, in such large numbers that they can’t ignore it.
We have the ridicule warriors, and Russia has the propaganda warriors, but we don’t have the equivalent of the be kind people in our political spectrum)

SO GIVEN MY EXPERIENCE FROM YESTERDAY….
Do I just divorce myself from the alt-right entirely?
I mean, is juvenilia worth being associated with?
I don’t mind slumming if people can use my work.
But I mean, these guys make aspie-tarians look like wisened rocket scientists.
