(Cultural observations)
Overhearing an uncomfortable negotiation between bankers, suppliers, and distributors. Usual stuff. Not masked by american hyper-sensitive political language.
update: interesting statement: the people in the government can still steal money but they can’t spend it the way the used to without getting caught.

PROPERTARIANISM VS ANARCHISM
(promoted to post)
Points to Ponder:
Anarchism includes no institutional method within rule of law for the construction of commons. Yet rule of law itself must be constructed as a commons. In propertarianism I have tried to construct a jury system for the construction of commons just as we have used the jury system for the construction of the commons of private property.
Anarchism does not include a definition of property rights sufficient for the reasonable, rational, or empirical formation of a voluntary polity.
I believe these are the two differences.
I do not believe a state exists in propertarianism, only that a rule of law is objective for ALL matters, rather than subjective beyond physical property.
Cheers.

http://reut.rs/1U6FN8vModern Take on Sun Tzu:
When Canadian Politicians speak they are irresponsibly ideologically utopian
When British Politicians speak they are pragmatically utopian.
When American Politicians speak they are always overly optimistic.
When German Politicians speak the are speaking ideologically while trying not to.
When Hindu Politicians speak, they trying to avoid embarrassment by the truth.
When Italian Politicians speak they are obscuring truth with humor.
When French Politicians speak they use false morality to obscure immorality.
When Jewish Politicians speak they don’t have any idea what the truth or lie is.
When Russians Politicians speak they are always telling half truths to hide a lie.
When Chinese Politicians speak they are always lying – its their way of life.
The problem is that as a high trust people we listen to what people say instead of what they do. And as an industry, news, reporters, and public intellectuals transmit information by words loaded with their moral biases instead of a record of actions and incentives unloaded of their moral biases.
Everyone acts in his interests.
Morality increases as we move north and west.
Ideological utopianism is a means of using hope to escape current costs of self defense. Conviction is almost always a deceit to mask convenience. Moral posturing a method of escaping costs.
That’s what propertarianism tells me.
And its true.

Rasmussen “Which is the bigger problem in politics today,” voters picked media bias over money, 47% to 45%. The Cathedral crumbles slowly…

Earlier civilizations could not make use of cooperation – exchange – as the source of information by which to collect and use information in vast numbers, because the ‘drag’ of the lower classes was too high. In the industrial revolution we experienced such a leap in productivity that as a consequence, consumption could increase dramatically, because the lower classes need only trade labor (their only possession – a commodity), in exchange for the new cheap consumption.
It is increasingly obvious that that central problem for all civilizations is eugenics.
I did not expect to come to this conclusion.

I hate the people can troll me so easily. Todd used to call it “Putting a quarter in…” I’m a sucker.
