    STATE BUSINESS ALLIANCES

    Forms of subsidy to companies that engage in international trade produces multipliers. The math has been done. That’s why it continues. In fact, throughout history, the state-biz partnership in international trade has been a requirement at worst, and the central source of economic competition at best.

    The problem with state-business relations occurs when (a) consumers have no standing in court against violations of reciprocity in the domestic market, and (b) politicians grant rights and privileges in the domestic market (c) when zombie (dead) corporations are kept alive for political reasons.

    In the american case, corporations pay the highest taxes in the world. But our total tax rate is relatively low. Most advanced countries ( meaning those with auditable financial systems) use VAT tax increases to offset corporate taxes. But you can easily see where that goes….

    Libertarianism benefits from a little knowledge of economics, with a heavy dose of obscurantist moralizing. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. And that is why there are many passionate libertarians, and only a half dozen libertarian ‘intellectuals’. Its because once you possess more than a little knowledge you either choose conservatism (long term and eugenic) or social democracy (short term and dysgenic).

  • LIES WE SEEK TO TELL: THE BIASES BUILT UPON OUR ANCIENT ‘CIRCUITS’ by William Bu

    LIES WE SEEK TO TELL: THE BIASES BUILT UPON OUR ANCIENT ‘CIRCUITS’

    by William Butchman

    “the lies they seek to tell”

    Human bias is interesting. We have evolved machinery in our brains, and we are processing novel situations with these ancient systems, processing things that they were never designed to process. We use these mental models which are simplistic, and when something happens in the universe which breaks our model (because we don’t account for it) we ‘startle’ and a circuit built for snakes is activated. (I don’t know if I have this exactly right, I’ve only heard it once)

    (From elsewhere:)

    Why we believe snakes are the most evil things: Dr. Peterson suggested that the reason why we have a particular antipathy towards snakes is because we’ve long been their prey (since our ancestors were tiny rodents). I believe our fear and terror and hatred of snakes might also be particularly strong because they continued to kill us long after we outgrew the other reptilian predators (once you’ve evolved to be monkey-sized, you can handle lizards because you’re big enough to fight them and you can see far enough around you to avoid them. But you can’t see so well around your feet or the topside of tall branches, aka where snakes lurk. The threats we fear most are the ones we can’t see, Snakes happen to fit into all the hard to see places. There’s also something particularly traumatizing about having one of your primate relatives eaten by a snake as opposed to any other predator. Their deaths are the most agonizing. Unlike one of those big cats with teeth evolved to puncture skulls or a wolf that goes for the jugular, snakes kill by poison or suffocation and they swallow prey whole. Oftentimes over the course of several hours. Prior to human inventiveness, I can’t imagine a more torturous and agonizing way to die.

    Snakes: these surprising dangers that lurk and jump out at us. We startle as we try to assess, an ancient circuit is activated. So, we have a bias to express the unknown, dangers, as snakes.

    At least this is the evolutionary theory of the prevalence of the mythology. So, I can see (if this is true) how our biases may be built on ancient circuits.

    LYING BY INTENT, OR LYING BY LACKING DISCIPLINE AND AGENCY?

    FYI: On “Lying” our position is that our genes drive our intuition, and our intuition biases our reason, such that we are constantly negotiating on behalf of our reproductive strategy and are entirely unconscious of it. Therefore we seek to produce ‘agency’ under which we are free of the genes, the intuition(elephant), and that our reason (Rider) is in control. (think of it as a very scientific take on stoicism. So in this sense it is quite easy for people who have not achieved agency (insulation from our genes and intuition) to lie by NOT working sufficiently to possess agency, and therefore remaining an attractor, and distributor of falsehoods (lies). And so just as you must carefully examine your senses to speak honestly, you must carefully develop the skill of truthfulness so that you do not attract and distribute lies and falsehoods. -cheers

    THE FUNCTION OF PROPERTARIAN GRAMMAR

    by James Augustus

    With out factoring in IQ, most humans cannot (or struggle to) separate/deflate intuited self-interest (the elephant) from their perception (solipsism) —which is to say that the average human struggles to launder imaginary content from cognition and so they approach truthfulness as a function of rationalizing intuition.

    Those with masculinized, autistic brains benefit from the decreased cost of laundering imagination & emotional content from our perception, and reporting/testimony thereof. And (we) see the flaws (cognitive biases) in our thinking and especially in the testimony of others. And because of our ‘awareness’, we find it necessary to perform ‘test’/criticisms across multiple dimensions.

    Propertarian grammar boils down to just that—it limits us to constructing arguments that are open to criticism across multiple dimensions: terms/categories, logic, existential possibility, parsimony, full accounting, empirical correspondence, & reciprocity (natural law/social science).

    (Note: A person’s/group epistemological methodology [literary, hermeneutic, mythological, occultist, theological, rationalist, pseudo scientific, asymmetrical empiricism] is most often derivative of the lies they seek to tell.)

    BTW: There are really two great crimes in the ancient germanic law: 1) Treason, Military Cowardice and Desertion, and 2) Rape.

    You know that well preserved bog man they found? Noose, and throat cut? Treason or Rape (or incest).

    It was only after 1000 that we started hanging people in vast numbers.

    Why? Restitution is painful. But Death Breeds Retaliation Cycles.

    We don’t ask cooperation of beasts

    We don’t ask cooperation of domesticated animals.

    We don’t ask cooperation of pets

    We don’t ask cooperation of children

    We don’t ask cooperation of the incapable

    We don’t ask cooperation of those without agency.

    We ask little cooperation of those who request subsidy.

    We ask more cooperation of those who request freedom.

    We ask even more cooperation from those who request liberty.

    We desire the full cooperation of those who possess agency.

    We require and cannot avoid the full cooperation of those who desire sovereignty.

    The few rule the many, to transcend mankind.

    We can rule and transcend, or be ruled and fail to.

    We can possess sovereignty in fact, or something less by permission.

    But to possess sovereignty requires we possess agency.

    And to possess agency we must possess the ability, the knowledge, the fitness and will…

    … the will to fight, kill, slaughter, and destroy.

    There is no transcendence, no sovereignty, no agency for the weak, the cowardly, the timid, or the dim. And no liberty, nor freedom, nor subsidy for others if we fail.

    SPEAKING IN OPERATIONAL GRAMMAR IS A TEST OF AGENCY

    It is very hard to migrate from thinking in terms of:

    1 – meaning or experience to your self

    2 – empathy for or meaning to others

    3 – empathy with others intentions

    INTO

    4 – nothing but objective statements of incentives, actors, actions, and consequences.

    NOTE:

    The degree with which you can do this kind of speech is a DIRECT MEASURE OF YOUR OWN AGENCY.
