    —“See, for example, the insightful comments by Childs (1914, 1-2) who notes ‘[t]he word “property”, in law, has two significations, meaning, first, “something owned”; and, second, “ownership”. … Property in its first sense – that of “something owned”, is classified into Real Property, or Realty, and Personal Property, or Personalty’.

    Blackstone uses the term ‘property’ in the sense of dominium (ownership right over a thing): see Blackstone (1893 [1753]), for example Chapter II. In contrast. Pollock in his seminal work on possession uses the term ‘ownership’, while the term ‘property’ mostly identifies the thing owned; see for example Pollock (1888, 8-12; also Pollock and Maitland 1898, Chapter IV).”—

    ERROR CORRECTION AND A RETURN TO CONQUEST?

    —“I’m seeing reports that indicate that we’ve captured most of the low-hanging fruit of exploration now, and our returns on exploration are continually reducing (collecting boulders > rocks > pebbles > sand) .

    Now it seems that we may be best employed by trying to use our discoveries more efficiently, removing error (refining). Perhaps this is the Olympian stage that has to result from the end of the Faustian evolution. (Punctuated Equilibrium).”—William Butchman

    In other words there is an inverse relationship between investment and return on exploration. And as a consequence an increasing return ON CONQUEST AND DOMESTICATION.

    NO ITS NOT FAUSTIAN

    (a) sovereignty/heroism and (b) lower impulsivity / higher separation of mind and intuition/ lower susceptibility to ‘dream state'(conflation) higher tendency of ‘reality’, (c) higher incidence of neuroticism (worry, obsession, future orientation), (d) balance of verbal / spatial abilities. (e) lower clannishness.

    I know all of these are basically true but wether we possessed them all in prehistory (“Yaman”) or whether we evolved them since then, or some combination is hard to tell.

    Grades and Age demonstrate only that one is not terribly defective.

    The major variations between groups and classes are (a) rate of maturity, (b) depth of sexual maturity (aggression, degree of success at pedomorphic reproduction), and (c) genetic quality (physical symmetry/health, impulsivity, conscientiousness, intelligence, gender symmetry. All of which can most easily be categorized under successful pedomorphic reproduction.

    Childhood is an artificial modern construct for the purpose of adding women to the workforce for the purpose of increasing tax revenues. This has culminated in the current generation as ‘infantilization’ of the millennials. however, a human being does not really ‘mature’ until past his or her prime mating years (25). Conversely, a human being can mentally mature in mid teens with sufficient responsibilities (female reproduction, male military service, and work).

    Women mature faster than men – men specialize and take longer.

    Blacks faster than middle easterners, faster than mediterraneans, faster than europeans, faster than east asians. Hence testosterone differences.

    The problem? Not enough stressors.

    THE OUTGOING AND INCOMING PRESIDENCIES – PREDICTION?

    Prediction is a fool’s errand since a presidency is largely the result of world events and the character of the president.

    OBAMA’s MISTAKES

    Obama’s biggest mistake was the whole fraudulent health care episode(scam) over the wishes of the population. second was his attempt to remove america from world affairs by creating a vacuum to be filled opportunistically, rather than an alliance to fill it predictably. Third was his embracing of anti-white immigration policies. Fourth was his failure to grasp that with the end of world communism and the universal adoption of consumer capitalism, as well as the international rejection of western universal representative democracy in favor of state corporatism, and the rise of islam as the successor to communism as the competition to consumer capitalism, all brought a sympathetic end to globalism, a return to nationalism.

    TRUMP’S NEED FOR POWER AND ITS SOURCES

    Trump has been given a mandate by his SUPPORTERS to end the status quo (globalism). Right intellectuals (myself included) are most concerned about ending the Cathedral Complex (Academy, State, Media), that replaced the Military Industrial Complex during the 1960’s. He has given himself the mandate to end american self sacrifice on the behalf of an ungrateful world. And to attempt to make the future (coming) hyper-contraction of the world economy as the BRICS end their rapid expansion, more survivable.

    I expect that he cannot accumulate enough power to fulfill his charter without a significant house cleaning. And so what I expect is a house cleaning. This will likely come in the form of an attack on the bureaucracy as well as the news media, and an emphasis on consumers, jobs, and advantageous trade policy – which will force the bureaucracy into a competition with him that will fail.

    So what i will watch is how he communicates directly to the american people, in his progress and how the court cooperates. If he is able to fill the court and overturn the power of the central bureaucracy, then he will be able to do it.

    The thing he must preserve is his base. They will only turn on him (the right eats its betrayers while the left does not), if he fails to pursue immigration and trade reforms.

    THE COUNTER-REACTION

    The media – which is already suffering from loss of its narrow distribution channel may survive if they try hard but my suspicion is that the media is now in the same position as the think tanks, and will require financial support even more so to survive.

    I like the ‘fake news’ movement because the solution is to make commercial and political speech liable just as product and service claims are liable. That would end the news media forever as a mechanism of propaganda.

    (Archived response to Andy Curzon’s post)

    (1)”The world needs all kinds of minds” …. yes, that says it all.

    (2) Different kinds of minds value different means and ends. (Conversely, ‘we all need to think like this’ is an effort to create a monopoly in values where we need a market in values)

    (3) The world needs all kinds of disciplines(means and ends) for those minds to specialize in.

    (4) The world needs multiple economic models (production consumption) to provide opportunities for different minds – specialized and not.

    (5)The world needs multiple political models (commons construction) that vary according to the distribution of those minds – some with a bias toward collective production (early stage societies) and some with a bias toward voluntary commons production (late stage societies),

    (6) The world needs multiple countries/nation-states (markets) for the same reason.

    HOWEVER – these are all ‘positiva’ assertions by which search for opportunities of all kinds. How is cooperation possible between so many diverse forms of inquiry, choice, and production of generations, goods, services, information and commons? These are the ‘negativa’ propositions:

    (6) The world needs one language – one that corresponds most highly with truth, thereby reducing ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, and deceit. That language is TRUTH and the language of truth is science.

    7) the world needs one method of decidability in matters of conflict between these diverse polities – equally expressed in the language of truth. That method of decidability is non-imposition of costs against property in toto – that which we call ‘natural law’.

    9) And the world needs one method of decidability between preferences(policy): not to sink into dysgenia – which is the natural outcome of all orders that are not explicitly eugenic (west and east), and to transcend the beast man (which is the natural outcome of all orders that are explicitly eugenic.).

    This sequence provides decidability for the full scope of the initial proposition, from the individual to mankind.

    We can create a market for the positive that we do not know is good, by eliminating the market for that which we do know is bad: that which impedes individual opportunity, productive cooperation, and human transcendence.

    The more trial and error the better as long as one is risking (gambling) with his own purse.

    Cheers.

    Americans talk about food all the time because eating all the time is all they have in common – the anti-social society, thanks to the left’s attack on ‘integration’.

  • MAYBE YOU’RE DOING IT WITHOUT ME KNOWING Curt.. It’s all very well what Grandin

    MAYBE YOU’RE DOING IT WITHOUT ME KNOWING Curt..

    It’s all very well what Grandin adumbrates but what about people who are visual/spacial, pattern recognizers, AND verbal?

    If someone asks me what I do I usually say I’m a ‘specialist’ because I find something (or two or three things)…build joy for it through specialisation, then do it for many hours a day and make it my life until the improvements diminish. And then onto the next thing. After doing that for a decade or two things kind of flow together and learning new things becomes so easy and quick. Or so it seems in relative terms.

    Someone once asked

    — “What do you specialize in?” —

    And I said

    — ‘Everything.’ —

    They were obviously baffled (although in retrospect, of course, ‘everything’ is technically inaccurate).

    For me these range from artistic (architecture/design) to coordination (combat/sport) to visual/spacial (mapping/[games such as] Go) to verbal (learning the dictionary definition of thousands of words/imitating people’s voices) to pattern recognition (pure maths/coding/chess) to a combination of them in different forms (poker/business/connecting people/project managing/conferences).

    For me, to do any one of these without the others would be holding back expansive nourishment from a ravenous mind – a form of torture.

    Then you get the people with 2 of the three like you (and my best friend from school Sir Edward Townes) – visual/spacial and pattern recognizing. If you are a 10/10 in the abstraction pattern field and 9.5/10 in the visual/spacial the Ed is t’other way around. He can visualize things beyond anyone I have encountered – I am training every day but WAY behind.

    So I suppose my question really is do you not feel like you’re starving your verbal mind by not spending years becoming a writer like Joseph Conrad (who was also ‘autistic’ in the visual/spacial [he was a captain of a ship] and verbal) or H.L.Mencken? And a speaker? You come across well in interviews but I think more practice and a few years could make you a 3/3 trifecta polymath.

    Am I wrong?
