  • The Andresson Horowitz Model as Landless Monarchy

    “Most of our first customers that were over a $1M have come as relationships through Andreessen Horowitz.”—Jessica Lessin @Jessicalessin @pmarca

    1) Not surprisingly, the Andreessen Horowitz model is identical to that of the monarchies – albeit without land holding. 2) Entrepreneurial Paternalism vs State Capitalism seek the same end by different means. Classes differ in preference. 3) Both Paternal models make use of credit. But one tolerates risk, and the other tolerates corruption. 4) Which is to say that Andresson Horowitz’s experiment is a model for post-democratic, post-state capitalist government

    FACEBOOK SCAMMERS

    You can tell a chat scammer because (a) they don’t use your name, or refer to anything you have in common, and (b) they take a long time to respond to each post because they have so many going on

    I’D RATHER….

    I’d rather live with Russians than Americans.

    I’d rather be married to a Russian woman than an American woman.

    I’d rather do business under American banking than Russian banking.

    I’d rather live and do business with American Courts than Russian Courts.

    I’d rather both Americans and Russians hung their politicians and burned them for warmth, at a rather long and enjoyable party.

    ( I will need to do a year in review soon. It’s been a big year. circumpolar civilization, genetic pacification, race as difference in rates of reproduction, religion, refining market government, rediscovering the oath – much more than a contract – the basis of our way of life, and refining the seven warranties. As well as beginning to think through how to teach propertarian reasoning just as we teach programming – as an act of writing. )

    MORAL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE’S EFFECT ON MAN

    I am pretty sure it’s possible. It’s not even that difficult. It’s just expensive. But rather than being the moral police of machines, what if machines can be the moral teachers and police of us?

    Interesting thought.

    By the time President Obama leaves office in 2017, the NATO pledge of mutual defense in response to aggression will have been exposed as worthless. Objectively the alliance will have ceased to exist. The culprits? Vladimir Putin—and Barack Obama.

    Adam,

    Thanks for giving this book and this concept airtime.

    Le Griffe has been talking about this issue for years. I have been stating it in relation to Pareto’s work on the distribution of property necessary to organise voluntary production. And the usual suspects in IQ research have been concerned about it for decades now.

    In my work – high trust societies – its almost impossible to form one if the distribution is either too low or too wide.

    Politics in particular suffers since at every two standard deviations people rely on almost entirely different frames.

    Lastly ( I have been giving talks in this lately ) the west may be the fastest developing because of our oath and our discovery of truth. But in addition westerners relied upon manorialism, prohibition on cousin marriage, delayed child birth, and hanging of .5-1% of the population for more than a thousand years

    So our success has just as much to do with our aggressive genetic pacification as it does to our institutions of truth, oath, jury, property, and common law.

    I hate to resort to scifi references but scifi is the modern mythology of Liberty.

    But in retrospect Clarke’s HAL becomes a threat when taught to lie.

    This is the problem with the Talmud and its transformation into Christianity through the adoption of Mithraism.

    It is, in an effort to produce separatism, a training manual for lying.

    Christianity, in an effort to form a resistance to aristocracy, is a great lie. Because lying succeeds if enough people lie.

    And enough people lie because it’s in their interest to lie.

    I DON’T DO ANTI-SEMITISM. I DO TRUTH AND RULE OF LAW.

    Again. Please do not go all anti jewish on me. I dont do racism. it’s tedious and useless. I know how the germans failed. i know how the french failed. I know how we anglos failed. I don’t think the jews of the 19th and 20th centuries knew what they were doing any more than the Germans, French and Anglos knew what they were doing. We all work with the frames of reference we get from our cultures.

    I want to know how to accomplish the elimination of lying in the social sciences, and law, what we accomplished with the elimination of mysticism and the elimination of rationalism.

    To do that I must understand the technique. Did Plato know what he was doing? I am not sure. Did Socrates? I am not sure Did Aristotle = I think he did. Did Smith and Hume? I think they did. Did Jefferson, yes. Did Marx, I don’t think so. Did Adorno and crew? I have no idea but according to him, not really. Did Rand and Rothbard – rand maybe, rothbard I don’t think so.

    The technique of the talmud is quite simple. The question is, why does it work so well?
