THE MODEL IS INFORMATION
There is no steady state. the rules are not stateful, but adaptive. There is no ‘done’. genes and culture and norms and institutions all store past information that we can express when needed. It’s not that we are machines that adapt to a fixed set. but that we store a broad range of possibilities that we can express through genetic, cultural, normative, personal, political and institutional SELECTION.
We are still thinking in terms of mechanical models rather than informational models. man and the universe are correctly represented as information.
This is what Hayek was trying to tell us but he was too early, and the crisis too early. It took Turing and two or three generations of programmers to understand what he and popper had intuited: information is not only the model for the physical sciences, but we are part of the physical sciences, and information is the current model we must work from.

(note)
Tell a story, teach a lesson.
in every great era … model…
information is our era’s model
in physics, in economics
revise our prior understandings
the success of the west in the ancient and modern worlds.
for a host of reasons, we can see that
the west calculates faster and better than the rest.
the origin story.
the result.. sov -> markets in everything
calculation in everything.
faster adaptation and invention
but what has gone wrong?
the innovaton and reacton cycles
this cycle was pseudoscience.
the reason for the success of pseudocience,
the reason for the failure to counter it.
the solution to it
The end of history is the truthful civilization

Um. My sister teaches kindergarten. She can be … a gentle, loving, kind of humiliating. My mother taught ‘challenged’ children. She can be humiliating. Supportive, yes, and caring yes, but dismissively humiliating. My daughter is about as fine a woman as god ever made, and she can make you feel humiliated with a facial expression.
In general, being around the women in my family is … humiliating. (I can honestly understand why.)
And come to think of it, not all, but many of the women in my life have found my lack of seriousness – or rather, the very large scope of things I consider not worthy of serious consideration – frustrating.
Listen. It’s simple. I like to play. I like to play with people a great deal. Why? Because I do know the difference between the serious and the not serious. And really, there is not very much that is worthy of seriousness. I mean, violence, money, business, politics, and war. Aside from that, we’re talking about rearranging the furniture.
OK? I only sound childish. But from my perspective, people who worry about rearranging the furniture are ‘cute’. Now, cute and quaint are my versions of ‘childish’.
So we are all better off when we enjoy each other’s childishness and save the seriousness for the serious things.
hugs all.

All talk of principles are lies – frauds. And that the only measure of the truth
All talk of principles are lies – frauds. And that the only measure of the truth or falsehood, good or bad, morality or immorality is the full accounting of the consequences of an action. It is an inescapable irony of libertine thought that on one had one uses the broken window parable to illustrate the necessity of accounting for all costs, then on the other hand to rely upon ‘ principles’ the very purpose of which is to circumvent the requirement for the full accounting of costs. It’s this form of selective lying that permeates all libertine (rothbardian) thought.
