  • BANKERS RARELY KNOW THEY’RE IMMORAL (worth repeating) Well to be honest, they do

    BANKERS RARELY KNOW THEY’RE IMMORAL

    (worth repeating)

    Well to be honest, they don’t even know that themselves. I think a better test is the evidence of the volume of insider trading in the stock market, and the manipulation of the market by large houses in order to bait and trap retail investors on momentum plays. Other immoralities are anti-consumer nonsense like penalties for cell phone usage, entrapment into contracts one cannot afford, baiting people into mortgages they can’t manage, the multitude of investment and insurance schemes, and the entirety of the democratic political process which is a race-to-corruption.

    Most if not all but a few bankers are too ignorant (and from too low in their class rankings) to have any idea what they are really doing.

    I don’t think most politicians know that they are corrupt.

  • USE OF THE WORD “NATURAL” IN ECONOMICS (re: Tyler Cowen/ Scott Sumner / Econlib

    USE OF THE WORD “NATURAL” IN ECONOMICS

    (re: Tyler Cowen/ Scott Sumner / Econlib ) (important idea )

    —“Economic activity consists of interactions between people, and it’s not ever independent of human influence, and so it’s never “natural”.—

    One can however, increase the truth content of human relations, or one can decrease the truth content of human relations. One can increase the truth content of human relations in times of shock. One can decrease the truth content of human relations in order to accelerate consumption.

    So human relationships are in a natural state any time we improve institutions that improve information by reducing informational asymmetry, or distributing information that was previously unavailable (prices, interests rates, money supply, etc).

    Human relations are in an unnatural state when we insert disinformation in order to fool people into acting other than they would in the natural state. For this reason it is perhaps more accurate to distinguish not between natural and artificial, but truth and deception, morality and immorality.

    The most accurate model of the social sciences, like the physical sciences is information.

  • Revolution Is A Simple Matter To Bring About

    [R]evolution requires (a) one weapon: fire (b) shorting power lines (c) blocking roads (d) making police, fire and emergency workers fear to leave their barracks (e) encouraging the military to intervene, (f) collapsing both the economy and the government by the persistence of military occupation, and slowly enfranchising the military so that they take over the government. We pushed them out of europe before. We can push them out again. If we allied with the Russians and the Chinese we could push them out of existence. They are the enemy of libertarian and authoritarian civilization alike.

    The truth is enough. The truth at all costs. One needs incentive (our genocide), moral authority (we have been lied to), something to demand (a radical restructuring of government), a plan for transition (a body of thought), and a plan by which we raise the cost of the status quo until there is no alternative. Liberty in our lifetimes.

  • The CEO is a Meritocratic, Not Privileged Occupation – It’s Not Bias, It’s Ability

    ( RE: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289615001300 )

    Across the last two decades ≈ 40% of CEOs were on the top 1% of cognitive ability. Even within CEOs, education/ability was associated with company gross revenue. Becoming and performing as CEO can be considered a difficult mental test battery.

    (I want to add that above the upper 1% line, men vastly outnumber women, which is why men vastly outnumber women in all extremes of life.)
