    If the Russian Soviets and Jewish Bolsheviks hadn’t been brutal murderers experimenting on mankind you could at least appreciate their attempt at modernization of such a backward place.

    But their education system, rapid industrialization, was not achieved through fiat credit as the Chinese have just done. But through attempting to circumvent capitalism. So Russia modernized but spent the incentives they could have built and list the opportunity.

    Mao did even worse. As did the other communists and socialists.

    But the Chinese finally understood: they had enough people left in poverty that they could create consumer capitalism quickly.

    The Russians just have to evolve rule of law.

    What they could have done was create rule of law then use fiat money and the incentives would have trained the people.

    But they spent the opportunity to use those incentives to train the people.

    A taxi driver in Kiev can make $500 a month. Which seems small. Until you realize that most people make 200 or less. And raise families on it.

    I don’t have sympathy for first world poor. It’s just envy.

    Just wanna say that Peter Boettke is one of the few people I admire in this world. He has such a good soul. He’s what we all wish the academy would produce in large numbers: a teaching professor worthy of learning from. Not just the subject matter, but his character.

    OK. Love fest over. Back to defeating demons.

    New life lesson. Hire female programmers over 35. The value of young men is throwing their lives away to master disposable technology. The value of programmers over 35 is they don’t do all the stupid stuff. God.

    Don’t be ridiculous. I’m wrong al the time. How else would I find the truth without being wrong.

    The beauty of strict construction is that it’s very hard to be wrong without knowing it.

    Most people try to make operational arguments and discover how difficult it is.

    It’s difficult for me too. It usually takes me ten tries over a couple of months.

    So in that sense it’s a lot more like writing a proof or poetry.

    It takes a while. But after you do it it sticks in your head forever.

    So don’t try to get it right so to speak. Put it on your wall and just incrementally improve it.

    It’s hard. But it works.

  • Thinking of the people who get offended when I contradict their intuitive sense

    Thinking of the people who get offended when I contradict their intuitive sense of moral righteousness and slay their sacred cows. And I’m sorry really on an interpersonal level. But science ( truth ) isn’t tolerant of my intuitions either.

    We all believe or desire to believe these comforting falsehoods.

    But the falsehoods of the left are more appealing to large numbers than mine and yours.

    And if we want to defeat their lies and fallacies then truth is the only method. We cannot defeat their lose with less desirable lies.

    But truth is a two edged sword.

    It slays our fantasies as much as those of the left.

    **I look at human genetics as an inventory of possible expressions that allow us to adapt to different circumstances. I do not look at our for genes ideal human. The ideal human is one that can adapt to every possible circumstance while remaining a super-predator within in. We are perfect when our genes and minds contain the perfect inventory.**
