  • Societies and Religions Serve the Empathic Personality Across a Spectrum of Low to High Neuroticism.

    —“Are we talkin about run-of-the-mill Freemasonry or high-level secret handshake Freemasonry?”—Leif Erickson

    What’s the difference besides the personalities of the people who go to them? Religiosity is driven not by intelligence per se, but by two factors: empath and neuroticism that influence how and what we learn. So think of societies and religions as serving the empathic personality across a spectrum of low to high neuroticism. Secret handshakes are higher trust providers at higher cost, and provide higher satisfaction because of more disciplined ritual to those with higher neuroticism. Organizations satisfy demand. Everyone wants everyone else to be satisfied on his or her terms. It’s not complicated.

  • You don’t need to go to university to undrestand econ

    Feb 4, 2020, 3:38 PM I’m still not sure economics is something you need to go to school for unless you plan on spending a life doing basic research by scouring the world for other people’s data sets. Calculus, Statistics, (good)Math for Physics instead of (bad) math for economics yes. Aside from that, reading a micro and a macro textbook, learning about 150 ‘rules of thumb’, reading Gary Becker’s work on the Economics of Human Behavior, and maybe Rothbard’s Mystery of Banking is enough. It’s mostly common sense, it’s just that it’s invisible and the entire financial system is absurd and arcane (and immoral) and the entire political system simply lies like hell every day because darwin is unacceptable to democracy and marxism. In a perfect world I’d just crank out classes for the institute, because people want a non-woo-woo education – but revolution calls.

  • Reaction to Progressive Threats Against Conservatives

    Feb 4, 2020, 3:44 PM

    —“Dear Democrats, Liberals, and Leftists: (a) when you threaten to disarm us (b) to put us into ‘re-education camps, (c) to replace us, or worse, we take this as a threat and a promise – and we understand – and maybe you should understand, that our ethic is not equality but reciprocity – and as such you are giving license to do to you what you threatened to do to us. We are going to restore collective punishment. We won’t discriminate. If you don’t police your own, you’re advocating their behavior. So you’re all equally guilty.”—

  • Our Proposal Is Hard to Refuse

    Feb 5, 2020, 7:41 PM P-Constitution, it’s nationalization of consumer credit, and its prohibitions on rent seeking, will destroy the entire rent seeking structure of the western economies, preserving only those investments that contribute to production. The entire insurance industry, mortgage industry, credit card industry, and any business that makes it’s money from credit rather than production and sale of goods and services will collapse with all the wealth retained by the laboring, working, and middle classes. The Concentration of wealth in DC, NY and via New York to Hollywood/LA will vaporize within months. Investors will flee to Assets. The prohibition on baiting into hazard, and the institution of involuntary warranty; the liability for testimonial speech in public, restoration of defamation, and the extension of defamation to defense of the commons; and the loss of copyright protection other than creative commons will collapse the media and advertising business as they desperately seek to reform. Capital will seek safety first, then alliance with the treasury on investments, and the states will have no alternative than to follow germany, japan, and south korea into competing with china on tech, and depriving china of its market. The requirement for right to repair and limits to labor arbitrage will restore european markets. The distribution of liquidity directly to citizens to maintain spending, and the deprivation of ‘undesirables’ from this distribution will drive them out of the market. This strategy amounts to paying off the middle to destroy the top and bottom.

  • monotheistic MONOPOLY religions’ attacks on MARKET religion and norms

    Feb 5, 2020, 7:43 PM The fact that the monotheistic religions’ attacks on market religion and norms (paganism), and the monopoly pseudoscientific attacks on market philosophy and laws, use the same technique of attempting to reverse voluntary markets with involuntary monopoly authority using false promise of life after death or false promise of economic, status, and power rewards after revolution, is a trivial distinction that varies only a subtle alteration of the lie.
