    WHAT IS YOUR VIEW OF THE NATURE OF MAN?

    1) What is the cost of producing falsehood and fraud vs truthfulness and fully informed voluntary transfer?

    2) What is the demonstrated frequency of falsehood and fraud vs truthfulness and informed voluntary transfer?

    3) Does reputation gracefully or ungracefully degrade as population and anonymity increase? And what demonstrably occurred in history in response to it?

    4) Why is it that monopoly judiciaries always develop in every civilization?

    5) Why is it that Religion and Law evolved in the first place? Why did Hammurabi … the franks … it doesn’t matter … why did all legal systems evolve?

    6) The scope of torte law (law proper, not legislation) has increased over time and continues to increase incrementally over time. Why has it done so?

    7) Of the hypotheses of man, do you subscribe to the Rousseauian (gentle peaceful man in the state of nature), the Hobbesian (predatory man), or the Lockeian ( rational man, choosing predatory, parasitic, or productive as suits his interests)?

    So, you know who blocks me that I know about?

    – Kinsella for humiliating him – and yes, I did it on purpose. Sorry.

    – The Critical Rationalist group. They can’t tolerate my argument that popper failed, and that testimonialism completes the Popperian Project. (i find this ironic beyond belief – and I consider it a cult now.)

    – A host of Rothbardian Libertines. (which as a cult I understand)

    – A few of the neo-nazis. (which as a cult, i understand )

    – Two of the ultra left wing (cult) economics sites.

    I mean, I totally understand unfriending me – for no other reason that the amount of content I produce, or because it will freak out your normie friends. But blocking me is just acknowledgement of your failure to defend your positions.

    I mean. My strategy is to play king of the hill: “come and get me”. I don’t troll people. I attack falsehoods,. If you can’t take the hill then just admit it. Because blocking me is just cowardice.

    Until recently I’d blocked very few people. The only reason I block people is because they troll or are too stupid, to solipsistically emotional, or too far along the schizotypal spectrum. which means argument and discourse are not possible. ) You should always attract opponents so that you can learn from them. I mean, I get frustrated with people all the time but it’s good criticism that makes you better at what you do, and forces you to abandon your erroneous priors.

    People I admire most are honest liberals (Karl Smith @ Forbes ) and honest conservatives ( Pat Buchanan ). You can run an empire with honest liberals, libertarians, and conservatives. The problem is it’s too easy to speak and maintain falsehoods in politics and it’s almost impossible to do that in the physical sciences. So why don’t we practice in the social sciences (which are arguably more important) what we practice in the physical sciences?

    The answer is that truthful debate would force people into making exchanges and they’d prefer all or nothing wins and losses.

    WOMEN, AGENCY, AND NUMBER OF CHILDREN

    More and more evident to me that unless a women has more than two children she tends to never mature intellectually and socially. Women evolved to produce five or six children at which point out of necessity they must approach the agency of men for their children to survive, just as men must evolve agency early in order for the tribe to survive.

    I would myself prefer that women bore six children and didn’t enter the workplace, and that we dramatically reduced taxes and redistribution. Because I care for my tribe above myself.

    Conservative women are most interesting because they possess agency, and often possess it from living in large working or middle class families.

    Let us see if the majority of women can care for the tribe above themselves. I doubt it. I think that what keeps people in the lower classes is lack of personal agency, and therefore they ‘sense’ the world as without agency like we all sense the world according to our sense of agency.

  • THE LANGUAGES AND CLASSES OF ECONOMICS (h/t Jacob Liam Youngman ) In the intelle

    THE LANGUAGES AND CLASSES OF ECONOMICS

    (h/t Jacob Liam Youngman )

    In the intellectual division of labor there are those of use who use the discipline of economics as extension of natural law, those for utilitarian purposes, and those for exploitative purposes.

    So you will find a host of people like Thiel, Me, and Emil Suric, for whom economics is one of the sciences we rely upon in the pursuit of the evolutionary good – in the absence of dishonesty and conflict. Which is a very low (long) time preference, put to very moral (cooperative) ends. And you will find people like krugman and delong who rely upon economics for high (short) time preference, put to immoral (dysgenic) ends, using it as a means of conflict, and embracing the dishonesty that is possible by the use of quantitative aggregates and cherry picking of measurements.

    Within these groups: the Natural Law (Social Science) group that thinks in the long term, the pragmatist group that seeks to use economics within Rule of Law (non-discretionary rule based action) in the medium term, and the short term “we’ll fix it later” Discretionary Rule group – arguments are relatively consistent.

    The only difficulty for the common person is that without a ‘label’ that identifies the short dysgenic, medium pragmatic and meritocratic, and the long term meritocratic and eugenic, it’s hard to know which team an economist is playing for.

    But again, within each team, it is very, very, obvious what team each of us is playing for.

    But since economics has displaced morality as the method of decidability in politics; and because economics has evolved largely as a pseudoscience due to the short-term incentives of the discretionary rulership; and because we live under majority (monopoly) rule, its not possible for us to conduct trades between the short medium and long term ‘classes’.

    Realistically the left short female dysgenic underclass and the pseudoscientific priesthoood that rules on their behalf by parasitic transfer of wealth; the aspirational, pragmatic, male meritocratic commercial, financial, and entrepreneurial sector that tries to create wealth, and the conservative, defensive, masculine meritocratic judicial martial and familial sector that tries to preserve wealth that has been accumulated.

    So we have a martial and entrepreneurial middle and working class that remain the only moral people remaining. And we have the state, academy, media complex that conspires against the martial and entrepreneurial.

    So People like “US” all sound the same. What we lacked was the language to argue honestly, rationally, and empirically against the dysgenic parasitic financialization of rule that uses pseudoscience and propaganda and the state to circumvent natural law and rule of law.

    My hope is that as our circle expands from a few dozen to a few hundred that we will produce and distribute that language and through its frequent use, empower the martial, entrepreneurial, working and middle classes to overthrow their dysgenic oppressors.

    CHRIS CANTWELL BLOCKED ME?

    It’s… it’s ridiculous. I belong to a lot of groups – advocating all sides – mostly because people from those groups invite me. And they invite me because they want me to participate in the debate. I debate anything…. I can almost always debate multiple sides of any question.

    THat’s the reason I specialize in deflationary truth and natural law and propertarian ethics: because it allows me to both understand all sides, diagnose the arguments of all sides, and recommend an exchange between sides rather than a conflict of deceit.
