Depressing to see Hoppe’s group decline. Of course, if he’d get over being mad at me for crucifying rothbard he’d fill the place to the gills with quality people. Not gonna happen tho. If he reads Propertarianism eventually, he’ll be in the same position as Marx having read the Marginalists. Hoppe is sorta my patron saint. But no way he’s going to tolerate me or mine around.

More From My Portfolio of CEO Responses
1) “You’re right. We should do that. Are you volunteering to get it done?”
2) “Really? I have simple means of testing demonstrated preference: He who does, chooses. He who doesn’t, doesn’t.”
3) “Really, now you don’t understand why I did that? Why do you think I would do that” (Silly reason follows.) “Actually, here is why I did it ….” (Stunned) (Teaching Moment Succeeded).
4) “Great idea. Given that we must, and do, at all times make use of all available capital, What should we not do in order to pay for doing that?”
Teaching People to fish never ends. Why? They actually want someone to catch the fish for them.

DON’T SELL YOURSELF SHORT. WE ALL STAND ON THE SHOULDERS OF OTHERS WHO DID WORK ON OUR BEHALF
—“Great another video of me realizing I’m a god damn chimp”— Nick Mallar
um. don’t sell yourself short. I’m radical outlier who has spent a lot of time – a lifetime – learning how to understand and explain these ideas. Most of us can’t afford it, and lack the ability to focus on a single process for that length of time. As Einstein said, it’s not that he was exceptionally smart, but that he just spent more time on the problem than anyone else. IMO i’m the beneficiary of a point in time where we desperately need a solution to current intellectual problems, and a lot of people have done a lot of work I depend upon, and I have the internet and search engines making me and my generation the first people to be able to synthesize that much information from so many different fields. if you can UNDERSTAND what I’m saying, then you are no chimp at all. There is no need for you to duplicate my efforts. Just USE THE RESULT.
(Now for the people that DONT understand what I’m saying, we just have to limit the damage that they can do to the rest of us. 😉 )

(Why? Because I have been lucky in life. And because I love the common man. He is the only moral man. And I want to roast these people who prey upon him and his fellows – slowly on a landscape of pyres.)

DEVOTE WOMEN OUTBREED ATHEISTS. Well, we know that because atheism is a form of hyperconsumption. And signaling a form of hyper consumption. Religion teaches mindfulness that insulates us from susceptibility to signal competition. https://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/1055059408881938432

Leadership should peak by organizational scale, and AFIK it’s closer to 130s. AFAIK leadership forms in every socio-economic class at the 15 and 30 marks.

@robinhanson @DegenRolf Doesn’t leadership peak at iq 120? And say we definite good leadership as judgement and effectiveness combined. Then it seems like iq fits the same pattern.

I REALLY DON’T LIKE THIS SUBJECT BUT….
There is a very great difference between:
1 – Climate varies due to fairly predictable cycles which vary intensity largely by the distribution of water created by the organization of the land masses, the degree of volcanic activity, and the life cycle – and collision with random bodies.
2 – We are affecting the climate because we are affecting the life cycle.
3 – We might actually be able to affect it by a degree or two for a short time, but it’s hard to affect it for a long time.
4 – We can get a few degrees out of this and the consequences might not be offset by the planet for a long time, but we can reverse it or stop it by nuclear power and of all things… planting freaking trees.
5 – We’re all gonna die!!!
I”m somewhere between 3 and 4.

October 27th, 2018 1:29 PM CUT THE SH-T. I AM NOT A BOOMER. 😉 Gates, Jobs, Ellison, (me) (Gates is only three years older than I am.) We are the Jones Generation that ran away from boomers (too stupid for computers) with desktop tech, cocaine, under Star Wars, Alien, Indiana Jones, Neuromancer, Snow Crash, and the movie Wall Street and fear of the Oil Crisis, and the REAGAN revolution, and NOT the BOOMER generation that ran with lsd, pot, beatles and stones, rock music, woodstock, hippies, wide bottom jeans, postwar optimism, and social justice, fearing of or support of the ‘black’ civil rights revolution. 1 – Demographers (Tax Revenues, Economics) work with population rates (Cohorts). WE DO NOT IDENTIFY as a cohort. 2 – Social Scientists with Shared Experiences (Culture) We IDENTIFY as a Generation. So fk-off. lol. https://propertarianinstitute.com/2017/04/20/the-american-generations-for-ignorant-alt-righters/
