“Hey Alexa: Flatter me”
…..Drives my family nuts.
Only thing I like it for is (a) what’s the weather outside (b) remind me to do something, especially (c) when the laundry or the baking is done. Otherwise, I just use it to be a smartass.
If I figure out how to make it make jokes about The View, NBC, or Hallmark Channel there will surely be violence in the household…. lol
I’d make a Stupid Paul Krugman Tricks channel but no one for 30 miles in any direction would get the jokes.

THE WAY OF WESTERN MAN
A plan means you merely understand the variables.
And that’s a good thing. It’s outdated the moment you start acting. 😉 So, take actions that move all possible opportunities forward. Don’t try to adhere to plans.

RELATIONSHIPS ARE JUST ANOTHER ORGANIZATION THAT ADAPT TO CIRCUMSTACES
—“Curt: I’m reading the book Sex at Dawn of your library. So which is our natural form of mating: monogamy or polygamy? What type of mating we ( europeans) should aspire?”—
AFAIK, pairing off via serial monogamy with discreet cheating that doesn’t insult the other party is the sort of median – but we adapt to monogamy-polygamy or serial marriage, or serial marriage with ‘cheating’ pretty easily. Religion imposed monogamy because men kill over women.

MEN…
Don’t be the idiot in the meeting ‘reminding’ others of the obvious risks – it means you’re a coward and think in cowardly terms, and offer advice as pretense of courage. Instead, be the person looking for, seizing, and assisting on the seizure of opportunities to exploit.
We need brave men, not cowardly women.
You demonstrate what you are by what you say.

THREE QUESTIONS ON RULE OF LAW – AND GOVERNING
by Caleb Mimnaugh
—“
Rule of law rather than rule by man… man, even the aesthetics of those words are beautiful.
3 clarifications – if you have the time.
1. Do you think the authorising/legitimising process of rulers (e.g an election, the divine right of kings) is an unnecessary function or do you think it could be performed better?
2. If the former, how is it unnecessary?
3. If the latter, where can it be improved?
3a. I ask because I don’t see how majoritarianism is rule by discretion.
“—-
1. Via-Negativa: One needs a king, as a minimum of a judge of last resort. This is the only duty of king that cannot be performed by subordinates. Presidents have failed to bridge the gap between king and prime minister. It was a bad idea. Washington was wrong. There is no better solution than hereditary monarchy for reasons Hoppe’s done a better job of explaining than I have.
2. Via-Negativa: The purpose of elections is not legitimacy but to de-legitimize a government that is failing to perform. So far we have no better solution than regular elections, and the parliamentary system is clearly better than the american system.
3. The first improvement is to return to houses for the classes, even if they are not physical houses, but simply assigned voting. The second improvement is to end majoritarianism, and instead, to negotiate construct contracts between the houses, so it’s a market for the production of commons. The third improvement is to outlaw and severely punish even the advocacy of a violation of the natural law and the constitution of natural law. The fourth is to restore standing in court in matters of the commons.
3a. Majoritarianism in the left’s understanding (a falsehood) is First, that there is no law the majority cannot override. Second, that there is nothing a majority cannot impose upon the minority.
AS FAR AS I KNOW:
The organs of the state are limited to:
1. Defense of all the people’s capital by military means (military)
2. Defense of the truth and reciprocity in display word and deed by judicial means (courts)
3. Production of catastrophic insurance by financial means. (Treasury).
4. Production of goods, services, information, and knowledge (research) by empirical, financial and economic means (State)
5. Production, and maintenance of those commons that decrease the costs of differences in time and physical space (infrastructure) by political means. (Government)
6. Production of the “sacred” monuments that produce intertemporal, intergeneration, aesthetics by monarchical means. (monarchy).
This is the division of labor that our ancestors era lacked sufficient resolution due to sufficient economic experience, to foresee.
There is however, little evidence, that there exists a superior form of government to a universal militia, a monarchy and cabinet, with a house of lords (franchise holders) and commons (business owners) approving limited to rejecting the raising of funds (rather than continuous taxes) requested by the cabinet, when they are regulated by rule of law, and standing in court in matters of the commons. Democracy is nothing more than a peaceful way of throwing the bums out, and that is the maximum utility we should ever expect of it.
