    INDIVIDUALISM IN PROPERTY RIGHTS BUT NOT IN LIFE

    Individualism is isolationism is loneliness. More individualism is not a solution for isolation and loneliness. Individualism in property rights is necessary for the provision of incentives, opportunity to act, and economic calculation, while preventing free riding, and forcing everyone into the act of production. However, reproductive, social, and political individualism actually produce undesirable externalities: loneliness. Alienation. The ‘american disease’ in which we all are told we deserve attention but non of us gives it, and all of us fail to understand why we don’t experience it.

    We live in a world where the only attention we obtain is that which we pay for in a commercial setting.

    America is the land of attention whores. (Speaking as an american who has had the revelation. lol)

    A MONTH OF BRIBES: UKRAINE

    So we paid a bribe friday to a policeman. Saturday to a policeman. Today to an immigration officer. And a month ago to a customs officer. The policemen were men. The other two were women. The women cost $400 each and the policemen $20 each. To arrange the bribes took another $400.

    Mind you. In immigration, we bribed people to simply do their jobs. In the other cases we bribed them to do their jobs rationally. But none of these bribes are to evade crime. They are bribes to minimize corruption.

    If the common law and universal standing were in place, we could sue these people. But there is no rule of law in Ukraine or russia.

    ASPIES NEED PERMISSION TO BE THEMSELVES

    It’s interesting that my posts on Aspieness, and the Autistic-Solipsistic spectrum are so popular. I really don’t want that to be part of my brand, but it helps people who are also borderline, and it explains, by analogy, our equally important moral spectrum blindness in the context of politics and ethics – so It’s hard not to use it.

    Fashion, Tattoos, Aspieness, Autistic-Solipsistic Spectrum, and gender differences in perception. I still think the most popular posts I’ve ever written were on Tattoos and Fashion. lol

    But really, aspies are a lot happier if they give themselves permission to be the creatures that we are. So I sort of see my struggle as something I can use to make life easier for others – ’cause it was not very easy for me. I had to work like hell. lol
