ARGUMENTATIVE WEAPONRY
—“I know it’s public, but I thought it’d still be polite if I asked. Would it bother you if I used a specific comment you made on one of your statuses in a conversation? You make some really good points.”— A Friend
Look. Here is how this deal works. I get to use the public as a testing ground, and in exchange (a) you get to learn how to argue, and (b) you get to use my work products as you see fit.
My job, our job, is to create argumentative weaponry in order to provide libertarians and aristocrats (conservatives) a post-moralizing (and therefore scientific) means of argument against the pseudoscience, pseudorationalism, and outright lying of leftists.
It’s a good deal for both of us. 😉

EVOLUTIONARY DOMINANCE AN EXTENSION OF AXELROD’S WORK
I’ve had Axelrod’s evolution of cooperation on my recommended reading list for years. If you want a book length treatment of the subject of modeling cooperation so that you have an even better grasp of The Evolutionary Dominance of Ethnocentrism, then after you read the paper below, get Axelrod from our digital library (free).

Um. I can’t emphasize this enough.
1) *While Prices drive to Equilibrium, Markets drive to Disequilibrium*.
2) Loose credit (monetary expansion) increases disequilibrium necessary for causing corrections (discovering limits).
3) The debate between conservatives and progressives is whether the cumulation of short term gains exceeds the costs of the correction. In my opinion, this is rather obviously ‘no’, but that is because the economics profession does not measure changes in ALL capital and instead cherry picks measures of capital.

ETHNOCENTRICITY ALWAYS WINS
—“ethnocentric strategies dominate other possible strategies (selfish, traitorous, and humanitarian) based on cooperation or non-cooperation with in-group and out-group agents. Here we show that ethnocentrism eventually overcomes its closest competitor, humanitarianism, by exploiting humanitarian cooperation across group boundaries as world population saturates. Selfish and traitorous strategies are self-limiting because such agents do not cooperate with agents sharing the same genes. Traitorous strategies fare even worse than selfish ones because traitors are exploited by ethnocentrics across group boundaries in the same manner as humanitarians are, via unreciprocated cooperation.”—
