“in the current phase of warfare, cities are no longer defensive anchors against armored thrusts ranging through the countryside. They have become the main targets of offensive action themselves. Just as the huge militaries of the early twentieth century were vulnerable to supply and communications disruption, cities are now so heavily dependent on a constant flow of services from various centralized systems that even the simplest attacks on those systems can cause massive disruption.”

To be fair, I disagree with the categorical imperative in which this is put forth.
Everyone is rational, everyone has strategies, everyone is biased, everyone is irrational, everyone is logical, everyone is illogical. Everyone is kind sometimes. Everyone is gratuitously mean sometimes. Everyone loves. Everyone hates. Everyone is indifferent about some things.
Mostly, everyone is wrong all the time if ultimate Truth is the standard. The best we can manage is the lifelong struggle to be a little less wrong each cycle.
In this very difficult post, I seek to unpack Curt Doolittle’s views on the subject of, given all the foregoing, how we manage to get along in a certain synchronicity.
Believe it or not, we all need each other

—“It’s not that Keynesian economics is unscientific it’s that it’s immoral. It’s not so much that German Rationalism and Jewish Cosmopolitan rationalism are not simply a backwards-expression of intuitionism and operationalism under empiricism, despite it’s inability to produce insights and only explain them. It’s instead, that the rationalist position is an attempt to intellectually outlaw investigation into emergent economic phenomenon – which is the purpose of scientific investigation, just as much as experimental psychology is the discipline that investigates first principles – and which has discovered the reason for our long list of cognitive biases that produce non-rational actions not anticipated by the classical model.” – Curt Doolittle

“[A]s far as I know, the only meaningful reason to study economics for use in ethics and politics, is to justify the rule of law (Nomocracy), under the single rule of property rights, where property rights is as defined under Propertarianism, as property-en-toto (demonstrated property). And where that body of law suppresses sufficient involuntary transfer of property-en-toto, that the formation of a Nomocratic polity is possible. And where the formation and perpetuation of that polity is possible, because transaction costs are sufficiently suppressed that a rational choice for Nomocracy is possible, over a rational choice for statism. And that the normative preference of nomocratic rule over statist rule is maintained by the constant exercise of that body of law in daily life, rather than a phillosophical-rational, religio-moral, pedagogically-instructional, or normatively-habituated means of persistence.”
