    —“Parasitism or leftism is simply a tool used to transfer wealth using moral and emotional blackmail first,and the barrel of a gun later. In the closed nationstate model of the 20th century it was used to shift blocks of capital to different competing institutions. In a global neoliberal anarchic sense it’s used to loot dying nation states and transfer wealth to global oligarchic power confederacies. We must (temporarily?) embrace nationalism not necessarily along moral lines (nationalism has become a form of nostalgic romanticism that is fun obviously) but as “firewalls” against nomadic oligarchs looting and robbing and destroying our crumbling cultural and and bureaucratic institutions.”— Murray Sell

    “ONCE YOU GET ERRORS ON CANTOR’S LEVEL YOU NEED TO INVENT COMPUTABILITY TO RID YOURSELF OF THEM”

    ( by frank sock leibowitz)

    —“Humans have this deep-rooted tendency to imagine things have platonic essences, which stems from our imperative to use lossy compression efficiently manage our limited cognitive power. Once we invent a good compression algorithm (a heuristic) to encode information, we start mistaking the heuristic for reality, which convinces us that there are amazingly expressive elegant objects that describe reality to the fullest extent. We start believing π exists, circles are real, continuum exists, space-time is continuous. Thus we start believing reality is comprised of ideal objects that don’t require to be strictly constructible. Power of heuristics seduces us, if you will.

    Elaborate and extremely clever conjurations of non-constructible objects like infinite cardinalities seal the deal. Once you get errors on Cantor’s level, you probably need to invent computability theory to rid yourself of the lies.

    I suspect, mistaking pithy heuristics for reality, has to afflict every computer that’s not aware of being one—and that concordantly doesn’t understand the implications of computability. It probably really takes a programmer that’s also proficient in history, philosophy of law, philosophy of math, and philosophy of science to invent Testimonialism.

    Thanks for your amazing work Curt.”— Frank (Sock) Leibowitz

    FROM ANCAP TO PROPERTARIAN. WHY? LIBERTINE BUFFOONERY.

    —“One of the things that most influenced my departure from Ancap was the behavior of many of the more ardent, entrenched libertines when faced with arguments from better evidence (HBD, Demonstrated Property, R vs K selection). While I previously believed Ancap had the most refined understanding of economics and the sociopolitical, that started to seriously come into question when I saw just how dishonorably many of them behaved when faced with worthy adversaries. Notwithstanding my own inability to articulate a convincing rebuttal, it was particularly damning to witness the sheer buffoonery and often times overt parasitical behavior I had previously only associated with socialists. However, it took me sometime after that to be able to properly understand the nature of what exactly they were trying to achieve a discount from. That search is what lead me to you, Curt Doolittle.”— Jeremie Makell

    THE ORIGIN OF THE NATION STATE: LIMIT WAR.

    —-“In 1648, at the end of the Thirty Years’ War, the Treaty of Westphalia gave a practical sovereignty to the German states, which until then were semi-independent components of the Holy Roman Empire.

    This more firmly established the sovereignty of the nation-state, which meant, among other things, that governments would have exclusive rights to organize and maintain their own militaries.

    Before this time, many armies and nations were controlled by religious orders and many wars were fought in mêlée combat, or subversively through bribery and assassination.

    The first generation of modern warfare was intended to create a straightforward and orderly means of waging war.

    Alternatively, it has been argued that the Peace of Westphalia did not solidify the power of the nation-state, but that the Thirty Years’ War itself ushered in an era of large-scale combat that was simply too costly for smaller mercenary groups to carry out on their own.

    According to this theory, smaller groups chose to leave mass combat—and the expenses associated with it—in the domain of the nation-state.”——

    THE SMARTEST PARAGRAPH I’VE READ IN A LONG TIME

    —“War/out-group competition –> the evolution of cooperation as a means of being better competitors –> coevolution: the more we domesticated the better we cooperated the better we were at competition –> group strategies –> language as justification for group strategies –> Postmodernism: industrial production of lies –> Propertarianism: Truth Sovereignty, Transcendence (tying it all together)” — James Augustus Berens

    Thank you James. You just contributed to Propertarianism.

    —“Until now, we only had tradition and historical analogical and moral argument on the conservative side to counter consumptive (parasitic, dysgenic) tendencies in word and deed, in contradistinction to productive (self-sufficient, eugenic) tendencies in word and deed. But we do have now the basis for judging behavior in the DAP (Default Aggression Principle: either productively trade or be conquered and domesticated), the NPP (Non-Parasitism Principle: non-imposition of costs against property-in-toto), and the requirement for productive, voluntary, fully-informed, warrantied exchange limited to externalities of the same criteria, and we have the ratio-scientific language to clearly communicate those judgments in operational language to all, regardless of their various biases and (limited) abilities, and we have the means by which to enforce all of this in the organized application of violence.

    Testimonialism provided the missing middle piece to connect the judgment and the means of enforcement, and moreover it makes experiences and the recipes that produce them commensurate across minds, thereby removing previously crippling limits on individual and group calculation, and thus action.” — Moritz Bierling

    —“The NYT died a long time ago. It’s been a propaganda organ for forces of displacement by immigration ever since. …. Its persistence depends upon the calculation-gap that the Left’s anti-social parasites rely on: they still have accumulated western genetic, cultural, institutional, and territorial capital they’re burning through before this American project finally fails and they can’t mathematically or economically support propaganda anymore”— Josh Jeppson
