    ENOUGH LIBERTARIANISM FOR ONE DAY

    Enough libertarianism for one day. I will have to solve this damned problem over the next few weeks. Didn’t think I could do it but I’m almost there. Almost. Every logical argument that I can find rests upon the representation of ratios not measures. I still have the 20th century to get thru but I am pretty sure it will hold up.

    Now, we have to pick a restaurant. I want… fish! and Pasta! lol

    Actually I want chocolate. But I have willpower enough to resist it. 🙂

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwlEIPfb_WoA DIALOG ON RACE WITH CLINTON : CIRCULAR LOGIC

    Listen. I know that solving the problem of race is a goal of monopolistic government.

    But there are those of us who want to solve the problem of monopolistic government even if it doesn’t solve the problem of race.

    The difference between these two factors is only whether the people in government think their goal is of greater priority than the goal of those of us whose priority is freedom from monopolistic government.

    Race is a problem only because of government.

    ALthough, since most social problems are caused by government prohibiting natural economic and social behavior to play out through voluntary exchange, the fact that government tries to fix the problem it creates is both illogical and impossible.

    The way to solve the race problem is to eliminate race from government, and hopefully to eliminate government as we currently understand it: a territorial monopoly that uses violence at the whim of a predatory bureaucracy.

    LESSONS ON ANTI-KEYNESIANISM FROM BENOIT MANDELBROT

    Keynesian noise is not signal. It is just a selection bias that favors Leftist Dunning Kruegerists like Krugman, DeLong, Stiglitz and Thoma.

    LESSON FROM MILITARY HISTORIANS?

    All our economic data is noise representing the spread of anglo-american law by violence – and it’s entirely reversible.

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/immigration/10185342/Britain-needs-millions-more-immigrants-to-reduce-strain-of-ageing-population.htmlNO WE DON”T NEED IMMIGRANTS

    Why should we add immigrants so that we can pay the elderly below-subsistence wages, instead of keeping the lot of them in the work force, as well as the young in the work force, and driving up wages?

    Compete for rare intellectual talent. But labor is little value unless its scarce.

    RE: Facebook’s “Top Commentator”

    I didn’t even know there was such a thing. It just appears next to my name. Hmmm….. Odd. Nice but … I mean, why didn’t I know it?

    I have this same problem with Quora, but that Amazon addresses so well: “Gamify” posting so that it’s worth your while as a status perk. It also tends to reduce the idiot factor that you have to deal with when anyone can reply to your posts.

    So it’s a real incentive and incentives matter. I might write to for the sole purpose of improving my writing, so that I gain skill at communicating complex ideas in increasingly simplistic terms. (I don’t have the luxury of a classes to teach where I can test my ideas.) But that doesn’t mean that it isn’t more rewarding to contribute to one network than another. It does.

    PILLOW HEDONISM

    There was a time when Doolittle family Puritanism made me feel helplessly guilty if I slept past nine AM.

    Today we gloriously slept until one. And my body is thanking me for it.

    Glad that particular environmental bias has finally worn off. 🙂

    I guessed china woukd hit the demographic wall in 2010. I was wrong.

    But a three year margin of error is good enough.

    Who called it first?

    Austrians.
