    GOOGLE IS THE MOST SOCIALLY IMPORTANT COMPANY IN THE WORLD

    Yep. The next ‘singularity’ doesn’t have to come from machines. It can come from the gradual elimination of fringe (irrational), false (contrafactual) or loaded (metaphysically biased) ideas.

    I could not have accomplished what I have in the past ten years without the internet. It would have been impossible.

    I just believe, strongly, that postmodernism on one end, islam on the other, with Buddhism somewhere in the middle, will defeat reason just as religion has defeated reason so frequently in the past.

    The only way to defeat religions is to aggressively advance science faster than dysfunctional religions can react to it.

    ONE MORE PASS AT MISES

    I have to re-read mises again. It’s very dense work. But on one topic in particular: his emphasis on apriorism.

    Because, for some reason I didn’t really understand (habit? Immaturity of scientific Philosophy?) Mises attempted to use logic to defend praxeology.

    But he was wrong. Praxeology is a scientific not logical question. You cannot deduce much from human action. However, you can TEST any statement of incentives a priori. Because we are marginally indifferent from one another.

    Took me a long time to get my arms around all of this.

    And Hans Hoppe’s (brief) advice to me had a dramatic influence on how I argued these positions. But it was the advice I needed.

    I learned pretty much everything from Hoppe worth learning. In the sense, that the few insights that I have had are purely dependent upon the insights he gave us.

    I just am very lucky that we’ve got a generation between us, so that I can draw on science, and the demonstrated failure of socialism, rather than draw on philosophy and logic and the as-yet-undemonstrated failure of socialism, and the as-yet-scientific validation of the classical liberal, aristocratic, vision of man.
