BEST WRITING SPOT IN TALLINN!
I found it. I am not telling anyone about it. I’m selfishly guarding the secret. 😉 Ha!!

REFRAMING THE DEBATE Conversation on positioning with Don Finn the other night.
REFRAMING THE DEBATE
Conversation on positioning with Don Finn the other night. This is how I came away with a minor tweak to the positioning.
Cosmopolitan Ashkenazi, Low Trust, Un-landed, Authoritarian, Anarcho Capitalism
vs
Aristocratic, Anglo, High Trust, Landed, Legal, Anarcho Capitalism
vs
Martial, Germanic, High Trust, Landed, Hierarchical, Tribal/Familial Capitalism.
As far as I can tell the germans were right prior to the conquest of the german civilization by it’s heretical offshoot the anglo civilization.
The anglo method of law is correct but the strategy is incorrect. The german social order strategy is correct, but the justificationary kantian method is incorrect. The Ashkenazi social strategy is incorrect AND the pseudoscientific method is incorrect.
Everyone got the enlightenment at least half wrong.

LYING IS OBVIOUS.
I can’t read a lot of subtle emotions in facial expressions. But by contrast, I can read lying at a glance. The only people who can fool me are those who overload me with distractions (I know a few women who can do that.)
Two ‘investors’ this morning. Coffee. One american, one german. Their body language was “i am prepared to lie”. Then the american lied first. They also signaled two things that people with money don’t: they’re too old to be doing discovery that’s an analysts job, and they’re not healthy looking from either alcohol, smoking, or stress – none of which say they are in control of their lives.
Signals matter.
( It also explains to me some of the subconscious stress I have in Ukraine. )

Cardaci sent this update on Axelrod’s work on the competitive value of ethnocent
https://egtheory.wordpress.com/2013/06/30/how-ethnocentrics-rule/Nicholas Cardaci sent this update on Axelrod’s work on the competitive value of ethnocentrism, and how entho-centrism always wins. I had assumed this was fairly obvious, but while axelrod also focuses on cooperation, I want to convert this into propertarian language and therefore make it more compatible with ethics and political economy. So over the next few months I’ll try to write a few posts that make use of this argument.
(Thanks Nick)

Pronunciation. Didn’t is NOT pronounced “didint”, “did-int”, “dident”, “did-ent”
Pronunciation.
Didn’t is NOT pronounced “didint”, “did-int”, “dident”, “did-ent” or “di-dunt’ but “didnnt”.
Hasn’t is NOT pronounced “hasint”, “has-int”, “hasent”, “has-ent” or “haz-unt” but “haznnt”
Wasn’t is NOT pronounced “wasint”, “was-int”, “wasent”, “was-ent” or “waz-unt” but “wasnnt”.
This is one of the main signals of class in American English. The upper classes preserve higher cost pronunciation as a means of signaling. Just as received pronunciation was spread as a means of signaling. And conversely to the french, which effeminised the pronunciation of the court’s more germanic sound as a means of signaling.
Signals matter. They affect everyone you interact with.
