Seriously. I’m just running around trying to make jobs and wealth and I feel like most of my energy goes to avoiding state sponsored vampires.

Why doesn’t the government just come out and say “It’s open season on white protestant males!”
Cause that’s how I feel these days.

Red is protester-controlled core commerce area. Blue is government buildings. I didn’t actually realize they had this much of the area under control.
(I live just off the map at about where eleven o’clock would be)

(I can get my facts wrong like anyone else. And I can get my theory wrong – although I’m better at that than I used to be, because I tend to test a theory pretty excruciatingly. But you know, my logic is pretty damned good. All the way ’round. I know that. Simply from experience I know that. Logic is an incredibly useful tool. The only way to test theories and facts for internal consistency is through logic, and the only way to test external correspondence is by constantly subjecting your theories to tests against all data new that you can find. You’re never really ‘done’ testing your theory until no further increase in use can be obtained from it. When you run out of things that you can test and it holds up for the purposes you need it then you’re pretty well set. As such people jump to conclusions far too early. The only way you know something is when you run out of ways to test it. And you must test both internal consistency and external correspondence for both explanatory power and falsifications power.)

SIMPLE GENERAL RULES : PHYSICAL SCIENCE VERSUS COOPERATIVE SCIENCE The physical
SIMPLE GENERAL RULES : PHYSICAL SCIENCE VERSUS COOPERATIVE SCIENCE
The physical universe consists of very simple general rules that produce very complex results.
The moral universe, likewise consists of very simple rules that produce very complex results.
By speaking in the language of construction – in operational language – we can teach people those very general rules.
Just as we have simplified the physical world through the use of the operational language of the physical sciences, we can simplify the political world through the use of the operational language of cooperation.
The language of American Conservatism is lost in layers of allegorical loading and framing. They know how to USE terms but they do not understand the construction of those terms.
If we give conservatives knowledge of ethical and moral construction, they will then be able to argue their aristocratic egalitarian ethics in rational language.
Ethics it turns out, is a very simple subject. With very simple general rules.

WELL, I DID IT. I CREATED “SCIENTIFIC AND ETHICAL REALISM”
Didn’t mean to. Just was a byproduct of trying to solve the problem of ethical rules for a post-democratic society.
Universal ethics.

KNOWLEDGE OF CONSTRUCTION VS KNOWLEDGE OF USE Joel Mokyr did a wonderful job in
KNOWLEDGE OF CONSTRUCTION VS KNOWLEDGE OF USE
Joel Mokyr did a wonderful job in Gifts of Athena, but he has the strange jewish predilection for conflating verbalisms with existence. He refers to “Knowledge of how” and “knowledge of what”. These are verbal categories only. They aren’t causal categories.
I use the terms “Knowledge of Construction” and “Knowledge of Use” (how). While “Use” and “How” share similar properties, “Construction and What” are sufficiently different in properties to mean considerably different things.
“Construction” requires action in time. I have no idea what “What” should mean other than an empty verbal category. It’s a purely self-centered, experiential statement.
I am fairly sure that if someone says they understand something, it means a knowledge of construction. Whether they can use it or not is only a small portion of the possible domain.
Construction, Use, Intended Consequence, Unintended Consequence.

LAST PIECE OF THE PROPERTARIAN PUZZLE Rescuing libertarianism from parasitic Rot
LAST PIECE OF THE PROPERTARIAN PUZZLE
Rescuing libertarianism from parasitic Rothbardian ethics, providing an institutional solution to post democratic socialist monopoly bureaucracy, giving conservatives a rational language with which to argue for aristocratic egalitarianism.
DONE.
Damn…. That was the last piece of the Propertarian puzzle.
Took me, what, almost three years?
Prohibition on Obscurantism, Pooling and Laundering: requirements for Operational language and Calculability.
I can put this together as an implementable plan that conservatives will readily use to destroy both the government bureaucracy and the financial sector.
Time to put a fork in it.
