Disambiguation of Judicial Judgements
Oct 17, 2019, 1:15 PM I have done a little work on disambiguating the charge misdemeanor vs felony (meaningless), but not enough on judgement restitution, personal punishment (prevention), and political punishment(prevention). These subjects are important because the current structure appears illogical to the public, because some crimes are preventable by political punishments (things that are planned) and some crimes are not preventable by political punishments (animal impulse), and some while seemingly more serious, are less likely to be repeated (impulses), while others more likely to be repeated (planned).

Writing Nonfiction Books
Oct 17, 2019, 3:55 PM It’s very unlikely you can write a book. It’s likely you can write a paper. Its likely if you can write a series of papers that you can combine them into a book. Most of the time a paper is sufficient for a book. A book merely provides a set of historical examples, or hypothetical examples, that illustrate the sequence of dependencies on the one and and applications on the other. So, learn to write arguments (2pp). Then combine arguments into a paper (20pp), then papers into a book (200pp+). Most authors write books to document their learning experience. This is different from pretense that you have a problem figured out until you have finished your learning experience, accumulated sets of arguments, sets of papers (arguments in context) and can combine them into a book (narrations of examples past and potential that illustrate each argument and paper). There is a reason all libertarian books are introductory. There is a reason all feminist and anti-western authors write in postmodern prose. There is a reason philosophy is written in rationalism rather than the law of reciprocity. So that they can lie. Conversely, there is a reason hard science is written in operational language – so they cannot lie. cheers

Evidence Is In. the Left Is a Destroyer of Civilizations
Oct 18, 2019, 10:57 AM The Left confuses PROGRESS with CONSUMPTION. And OPPRESSION with DOMESTICATION. We evolved Property, Law, Markets and resulting Eugenics to limit Hyper-Consumption, and Impose domestication upon semi-human animals by constraining the reproduction of both genders to what they could produce. One can spend increases in production but if one just spends down accumulated genetic capital, one is not engaging in progress, but burning the winter stores for an endless fall feast. Only far east and far west produced majority genetic middle class civilizations. And Redistribution under ‘democracy’ reversed five thousand years of western civilization’s domestication of human polities in just a century

State Sponsored Hyperconsumption of Goods, Services, Info, and Virtue Signals
Oct 19, 2019, 10:55 AM
—“What we like or want may not be good for us.” –Curt Doolittle
Context of the original quote was that we have used a variety of techniques to generate hyper-consumption and especially conspicuous hyper consumption, and even worse, conspicuous hyper consumption of virtue signals. In other words, we may like hyper consumption but that does not mean it is good for us, any more than hyperconsumption of the pleasure response by drugs is, or hyperconsumption of sedation by alcohol, or hyperconsumption of calming by nicotine, or anything else in any similar spectrum. So, yes, “all things in moderation” for the individual but this isn’t enforceable if the entirety of the political economy is generating hyperconsumption for hyper-taxation, and hyper-redistribution. The state should not engage in the provision of the incentive to hyperconsume. This only benefits the financial sector. Instead, just redistribute liquidity in response to shock and sags directly to the consumer and cause business to fight over it.

Don’t Be Surprised
Oct 19, 2019, 10:56 AM
—“The government endlessly invests in grown adults who can’t dress themselves or bathe., and who destroy every apartment they’ve ever lived in. … As Marx says “from each according to his ability. To each accord to his need.” … Don’t be surprised when you have hoards of VERY needy people with that policy.”—Aaron Schwartz
