  • We Discovered Truth Telling

    [W]hile Propertarianism does provide the missing logic of cooperation that Mises promised us, and that the prohibition of free riding is the single cooperative problem to be overcome, that the central proposition of Propertarianism is the western struggle to testify truthfully to one’s jury, and that trust is the result of that struggle, and economic velocity the result of that trust. And that economic velocity is the reason for both phases of the west’s rapid advancement: the classical and modern worlds that both times have dragged man out of ignorance, and in our most recent case, dragged him out of poverty.

    So if I want something to be learned, it is that: we discovered truth telling.

  • Liberty: A Distributed Dictatorship of Free Men

    Guest Post By Eli Harman

    [L]iberty can triumph because liberty is the most robust sort of authoritarianism. You can kill a king. You can corrupt a democracy. But a distributed dictatorship of free men is practically irresistible and unassailable in comparison. Its power derives from a degree of all-seeing omnipresence that exceeds even the wildest fantasies of an autocrat; yet does not detract from its adaptability, resilience or ability to react rapidly to nearly any contingency.

    ( Damn.  Very smart. -Curt.)

    I have been working on this idea, and I finally gotten close to expressing it tangibly as measurement. The examples I give are the golden(positive) vs the silver rule(negative), property(positive) vs property rights(negative). And I want to construct a general rule for requiring both positive(contextual precision) and negative(general rule). Because I feel its necessary to unify the sciences, philosophy morality and law in order to eliminate ‘escape routes’ by various forms of verbalism, that man will try to employ as a means of circumventing the moral constraint of truth-speaking.

    How to translate conservatism: “we were doing it right before. we’re doing it wrong now. at least we could do it right again. so lets just go back to rule of law, and the family, shall we?”

    How to translate libertinism “i don’t wanna pay the costs of the commons because my self imagined status is not rewarded by that commons, even if property rights themselves are a commons.”

    Anyone want to buy a Kiev nightclub with me? (Cheap)

    One of the best? I can’t justify it because I can’t give it that much attention. Best management, best property available. Right in the center. $20-25k buy in. I don’t need to remind you of the various benefits. :).

    I really want to do it but not alone. I’ll do 50k but not the rest. This would leave us with lots of working capital and runway.

    I wouldn’t do it myself if it wasn’t a good idea.

    Cheers.
