    PROPERTARIANISM IS DESCRIPTIVE.

    (Eli Harman)

    —“Legalism is prescriptive. Propertarianism is descriptive. We can criticize institutions by showing them to be unsustainably parasitic, dysgenic, consumptive, degenerative, or uncompetitive (existentially impossible over the long term.) We can describe institutions that are not degenerative but are productive, progressive, durable, anti-fragile, competitive (existentially possible.)

    We do not prescribe the latter, we merely prefer them. We note that the former will always tend to fall and the latter to rise.”—Eli Harman

    POLITY FAILURE IS DETERMINISTIC

    (james agustus berens)

    —“Monopoly rule via majoritarian democracy:

    (1) monopoly rule makes market calculation impossible,

    (2) majoritarian democracy makes lying necessary.

    (1)+(2) makes polity failure deterministic.”

    I wonder, have any of the pole-dancers (strippers) in Russia or Ukraine made outfits out of those micro led lights, because I’m thinking that would be freaking beautiful.

    —“This has been what Curt Doolittle has done so well in my opinion. As Michels’ Iron Law of Oligarchy demonstrates, a system ruled by the few is the inevitable consequence of a democratic system. Information imbalance, delegation, apathy; all contribute to the rise of a small few making decisions for the whole of the civilization. Curt, you’ve developing an entire philosophy defending this natural and logical progression, the defense of a rational and scientific process resulting in aristocracy, from those who would seek to prevent and pervert natural order in society. “— Patrick Quinlan

    WHICH PROMISE IS MORE HONEST, AND MORE TRUE?

    What’s more honest? You have natural rights? God made you in his image? We are all equal?

    Or, from a long line of animals you have been domesticated. You can transition from an animal in the possession of other men, to a man who has property, in exchange for an oath, and your promise to fulfill it, in every day of your life, in the market for reproduction we call marriage; in the market for consumption we call the economy; in the market for commons we call government; in the market for defense we call war; in the market for information we call knowledge; in the market for norms we call culture. And if you swear a contract with all other sovereign men, that you will speak the truth and only the truth, impose no cost on any of those markets without payment for it in advance, and to punish all those who do otherwise, then you may too rise to sovereignty, and become man, rather than mere animal. But pray you take heed, because if you violate this oath, we will punish, deprive, or kill you for it.

  • “DEMOCRACY HAS IT’S OWN CALCULATION PROBLEM” (by Jeremie Makell) —“Natural law

    “DEMOCRACY HAS IT’S OWN CALCULATION PROBLEM”

    (by Jeremie Makell)

    —“Natural law informs how we choose to cooperate to establish and maintain sovereignty. Some backwoods libertine can stake a plot of land and proclaim himself sovereign, but that’s not sovereignty, that’s just LARPing.

    Sovereignty requires that we cooperate to insure each others’ property from imposition. As we develop new technologies (bronze, iron, etc.) the complexity of our social institutions must evolve as well.

    For every new advancement also creates more opportunity for parasitism and externalities that increase overall transaction costs while reducing trust. The more rigorous your institutions the more adaptable you are to inter-generational change.

    This explains why China despite being an ancient civilization, had centuries of stagnation while the Europeans were innovators and drove forward industry.

    Each of the markets that Curt lists (rule, commons, reproduction, production, etc.) become more prevalent and necessary the further civilization advances.

    This is what I believe Curt means when he refers to DECIDABILITY: just as prices aid us in determining how to most efficiently buy and sell goods, the exchanges conducted voluntarily between markets under rule of law help us to determine how to most efficiently advance civilization.

    Democracy fails to adapt to change because it has its own calculation problem.”– Jeremie Makell
