  • Words of Wisdom: The King of The Hill Education

    —“Riffing off each other creates the best teaching posts and the best learning posts… the best way to learn something is to teach it.. Thanks Curt and Bill..”—Tobias Darby

    Multiple overlapping King of The Hill Games – over time – rather than under time pressure – are the optimum means of teaching men, and it certainly appears the optimum means of teaching women, who prefer not to climb, but to observe, support and criticize. This is my vision of education, and it will mean only the best of us will be able to teach, and as such teaching weill become as it should be and is in other civilizations the most respected of positions rather than a clerical position largely one of babysitting.

  • Like I Said … Declining Marriage Incentives and Male Withdrawal from The Labor Force

    —“Why have so many young men withdrawn from the U.S. labor force since 1965? This paper presents a model in which men invest time in employment to enhance their value as marriage partners. When the marriage market return on this investment declines, young men’s employment declines as well, in preparation for a less favorable marriage market. Taking this prediction to data, I show that fewer young men sought employment after TWO interventions that reduced the value of gender-role-specialization within marriage: i) the adoption of unilateral divorce legislation, and ii) demand-driven improvements in women’s employment opportunities. I then show, using a structural estimation, that half of the employment effect of a labor market shock to men’s wages is determined by endogenous adjustment of the marriage market to the shock. These findings establish the changing marriage market as an important driver of decline in young men’s labor market involvement.”—

    That is from the job market paper of Ariel J. Binder, job market candidate from the University of Michigan.

  • Guns Are the Last Phase of A Civil War, Not the First

    —“Some historian, I don’t remember who, said, guns are only involved in the last phase of a civil war. What’s gone on here’s not protected the Constitution. It’s not protected the institutions. It’s not protected this little experiment in self-government. What it has done is put it all at risk.”—Rep Ghomert

    (“You see, they want it to be a one-sided, non-due process, sham court. It’s about to push this country to a civil war if they were to get their wishes,” he further stated. “And if there’s one thing I don’t want to see in my lifetime, I don’t want to ever have participation in, it’s a civil war.”)

  • Defining Socialism for Yang

    —“Journalists who come to Des Moines tomorrow with an open mind will have those minds blown. #Yangapalooza secure the center secure the future”—@AndrewYang —“Its not socialist to tax big tech companies and give everyone a $1,00 a month. Everyone gets it, its pay for with technology. Its not socialist!”— @ironpatriot2016 —“Curt?”—

    Rule of law = Sovereignty, Property(Demonstrated Interest), Reciprocity, Court,Testimony, Jury, Resulting in markets. Socialism = Borrowing by the state, to make investments by the state, in industries producible by the state, and the redistribution of earnings into the commons. Authoritarianism = Borrowing by individuals, Investment by individuals, in industries producible by individuals, producing returns for individuals, that is appropriated (stolen) by the state, and redistributed to non-borrowers, investors, producers. The principle means by which jews,christians,muslims, in the old world, and marxists, postmodernists, and feminists in the modern world, is to use words people don’t comprehend in operational terms, to conduct false promises by sophisms that do little but bait fools into hazard. Unfortunately there are a lot of fools to bait into hazard. Unfortunately we let them vote into a single house of representatives, creating rule by majority-of-fools best deceived by false promise. When if we had created houses for commoners, and women we could debate and trade. I would happily debate Andrew because I am not aware of anyone else living who understands issues of modernity as well as I do. Because some of his desire can be produced by moral rather than immoral means. But really, he’s not very smart he just says ‘free stuff!’ for attention. And fools come for the bait.
