    A DECISION MADE MORE EASILY WHEN MATURE THAN YOUNG

    —“Aristotle, it will be recalled, remarked that the philosopher Thales proved the usefulness of philosophy by gaining a monopoly on the oil and wine presses so that when the bumper season arrived, having himself studied all the signs of nature, all the unlearned growers had to pay him handsomely to use his presses. But as he did not want the money, being a philosopher, he was just illustrating that the philosopher was poor because he chose to be, because his time was better spent on other things. The philosopher knew something about music and about business, but he was not a musician or a businessman.”—

    The difference is that I know I am a bit eccentric, or even nuts. But it’s limited to my emotions and intuitions, not my reason.

    Why do you think I developed my reason so thoroughly? I can’t trust my emotions or intuitions at all.

    It’s not complicated. Nothing is all that complicated.

    CULTURAL OBSERVATIONS

    Man yelling at waitress for disrespecting him. Waitress not being offended but assuming he’s not thinking clearly. This is one of the great differences between the culture of status and blame we have in america and the one that was ancient, but that the soviets imposed upon all. You can say “i did the right thing as I understood it” but you cannot say “you are a bad person and I am above you”. This “appeal to reasonableness” is a superior means of argument and you see it in certain classes but not in others. Why? It’s a big ‘shame’ in america to fail in thinking, but not a big shame to fail in business. In this country it’s the opposite. Its normal to fail in thinking – you just need to be understood – but it’s not ok to fail in business – they assume you’re a crook.

    If we had rule of law here it would be a much superior society than that of the west.

    GIVING OTHER MEN ‘PERMISSION’

    (cute story)

    I was with Liliya and the boys the other day, and we were in a chocolate shop, letting the kids choose which piece of identically flavored but different shaped chocolate that they wanted. (The older one is a bit greedy and impulsive so he wants to see if he can get more than one out of me – knowing I am a sucker – but I’m adamant that they get only one.)

    So I’m standing there as usual typing away on my iPhone and this young couple, maybe twenty years old, is all mushy and romantic in the corner, and just as I look up, I catch his eyes – he subconsciously wants to make sure he hasn’t impugned his masculinity somehow as he returns to reality.

    So I smile and start laughing. Give him a thumbs up. Grab Lilia and kiss her. Saying “See. It’s ok. If we all do it.”

    They know enough English to understand. And we each chuckle for a few minutes.

    If you only seek to ENTERTAIN, not to OBTAIN, you can make the world a better place.

    Little things matter. Because little things in large numbers have vast consequences.

    French women still seek to build grace the best.

    Germanics do pride with out pretense well.

    Northern Protestants are too humble.

    The slavic women,on sunday, for church, can retain their feminine beauty into old age.

    The slavs and nordics have the best frames – they are less outbred. The nordics a bit heavier masculine bias, and the slavs a bit fairer feminine bias.

    Men – we measure ourselves largely but the quality of our women.

  • There is no problem with paying dividends on the economy. I don’t see why that’s

    There is no problem with paying dividends on the economy. I don’t see why that’s a problem. But every time I do the math I come to the same conclusion: that surpluses sufficient to create a marginal difference in the quality of life of the individuals are not possible.

    In other words, it’s pretty much impossible to implement a basic income scheme. What is possible is to provide chaotic windfalls, and distribute liquidity through to consumers. The data just hold up under that.

    English: Ice. ice.

    Polilsh: lod lodu

    Ukrainian: leed lo’du

    Russian: led l’da.

    These languages kill me.

    They have this language here called Sool-zheek. Which is sort of a pidgin. They mix words from all three languages. And it’s considered sort of like southern drawl maybe: uncooth or ‘country folk’.

    So not only do you have these three languages going on if you travel around, but you have the omg-number of suffixes, PLUS the fact that you can order the words however you want in a sentence.

    Now, I”m a linguistic plebian. I’ve studied french, german, spanish and informally italian, and retained nothing at all once the class was over.

    But you konw, these languages are nothing like learning the germanic. it’s brutal.

    PSYCHOLOGISM VS INCENTIVES

    I tend to ignore psychological states, and stick with observed actions, since reported ‘belief’ and demonstrated behavior are so widely different. So I would say you can insure something yourself at which point you do not have rights or property, only things under your control given the amount of resistance you can put up, versus when you and your possessions are insured by a group, where you have rights to call upon them to increase the amount of resistance you can put up.

    As David Mondrus has suggested, this is the dividing line between libertarianism and propertarianism.
