    False Comparison. USA’s objective is self determination. Russia’s is justification of power and corruption.

    Back when I was in university, I did a little work with war games. It was very little. But the experience was life altering.

    The absolute out-of-the-blue perfection of Putin’s invasion of Crimea is EXACTLY the kind of scenario that lands in your lap.

    I can pretty easily imagine what’s going on in the states right now.

    There is no compelling strategic interest in crimea.

    The Russians have a legitimate claim to the territory.

    We have used the same arguments in Panama and other places.

    BUT

    The west’s self image is predicated on being the police of self determination and the prohibitor of taking territory by force. The west loses, it loses it’s entire claim for moral legitimacy.

    It would have been easier for Putin to just engineer crimean annexation without troops. But you know, it’s BETTER FOR HIM to exercise muscle.

    GUTLESS MORON IN WASHINGTON

    This is why you don’t elect progressives to the presidency.

    They’re almost always confused. This president is not only confused. but lazy and stupid.

    RE-READ CHAPTERS 8+ IN RICARDO DUCHESNE’S “UNIQUENESS OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION” LAST NIGHT.

    I got most of it directly from Mallory and Gimbutas. But he has just tied a bow around all of it so well, that I gotta say he’s done the best work so far.

    (Renfrew on the other hand is f’king postmodern criminal.)

    I guess I’ve sort of turned critical rationalism on it’s head, and stated that science is a more SIMPLE theoretical system that addresses but a subset of the requirements for theory, and that by extending the scientific method to the social sciences (morality) we make obvious that the scientific method is simply ‘the epistemic method’ and that it’s the only one available to us.

    Cool. 😉

    So I guess Putin is going to take Crimea by force? Use it as his “Grenada and Panama”? His resurgence? Show a little muscle? Smart really.

    No problem here. Self determination. If they Crimeans go for it, well, then I can’t make a libertarian case against it. No state has the right to control a body of people that do not wish to be controlled by it.

    (The federal government has no right to control the people of Texas for example.)

    Hate the state.

  • Even if Bitcoin gets killed as a money substitute by regulators. Fractional sale

    Even if Bitcoin gets killed as a money substitute by regulators. Fractional sales of various instruments both asset and debt, and title registry are two very powerful technologies.

    I am still certain that using the technology for servicing the underclasses is possible to promote. And immoral not to make use of.

    I also see how to use the technology to advance MMT without the problem of inflation.

    The idea is solid.

    Some days, 100ml of scotch or 200ml of scotch, is just… Well, bordering on the spiritual.

    Perfect. Shutting off the machine. Smiling. Enjoying friends. Nothing more. 😉

    This is one of them. 😉

    Life is awesome. As long as you share it with people you love.

    Cheers. 😉

    UKRAINE UPDATE: MORE OF THE SAME OLD SAME OLD

    Well, all the usual eastern european nonsense seems to be taking root again as everyone jockeys for power and privilege.

    I gave them the benefit of the doubt. But as far as I can tell, everything so far is just fighting over position at the trough.
