    Just wanna say that Peter Boettke is one of the few people I admire in this world. He has such a good soul. He’s what we all wish the academy would produce in large numbers: a teaching professor worthy of learning from. Not just the subject matter, but his character.

    OK. Love fest over. Back to defeating demons.

    THREE SIMPLE LEGAL STEPS TO REVERSAL

    1) All public speech is warranted to survive testimonialism. ie: truthful and moral.

    2) Bypass the financial system by direct distribution of liquidity to consumers; a prohibition on liens against such income; lender-beware for the purchase of consumer goods; retention of 20%interest in all loaned funds, with the issuer losing first.

    3) The requirement that all religions rewrite their formal texts to subservience to natural law, and abandonment of polymoralism.

    By these three laws, we change the world for eternity.

    After that has had a year or two to breathe, we then change to houses of increasingly demanding requirements, so that it forms a market between the classes.

    The incentives for the underclass are so significant that as a package it can fly.

    New life lesson. Hire female programmers over 35. The value of young men is throwing their lives away to master disposable technology. The value of programmers over 35 is they don’t do all the stupid stuff. God.

    UM, NO LIVES MATTER – OR VERY CLOSE TO IT.

    Actually, purely empirically, very, very, very, few lives matter at all.

    We just act as if we do so that everyone else will also. We all understand none of us matter. So we treat one another as if we matter out of self-defense.

    We don’t actually matter. We just survive and cooperate if we treat one another like we do.

    Incentives. That’s why communism doesn’t work and consumer capitalism does work. It’s also why everything else works.

    incentives.

    I might argue that civilizations matter. But within them, at any given point, less than one percent of people ‘matter’.

    And the world would be a lot better place if there were a lot fewer people who didn’t matter. Because it matters that they don’t matter so to speak.

    ITS NOT COMPLICATED – WE JUST GOT IT WRONG

    User Experience Patterns

    System Architecture Design Patterns

    Application Architecture Design Patterns

    Data Structures

    Operations

    Syntax <– This is the only thing that differs.

    And why?

    Becuase we developed Fortran/C & Numbers instead of Lisp & Logic. People thought that they were smarter than Turing.

    Everyone makes new languages for the same reason, and none of them make any difference. Why?

    We used numbers and not logic.

    It’s like being stuck in the USA with 110v when the rest of the world runs on 120.

    The damned bad decision sticks with you FOREVER.

    I’ve gone through the lifecycle myself. and you know, we spend a lot of time trying to be smart without understanding that our foundations are stupid. WE’re solving the wrong problem.

    programming is analogous to teaching not engineering.

    DEATH

    There are three stages of death that we can probably agree upon.

    1) that which cellular cooperation ceases to sustain the brain and the individual cannot recover naturally.

    2) that which the technology of the time ceases to restore the individual to life.

    3) that which the condition of the person would doom him to suffering were we to use technology to return him to life.

    THE GREAT WESTERN LIE: THAT PEOPLE POSSESS RIGHTS AND NOBLE VIRTUES, RATHER THAN THEY ACQUIRE RIGHTS BY DEMONSTRATING NOBLE VIRTUES

    The western aristocratic political model stopped improving the moment we started lying – that people possess rights and noble intent rather than that they can acquire rights by demonstrating virtues.

    For women the problem is more significant: meritocracy conflicts with their reproductive interests. Half of their children are in the lower half.

    They cannot earn the franchise by fighting and it is against the tribe’s interests if they do other than reproduce. Our only choice is to pay the best women to reproduce and punish the worst if they do. ( this idea has legs ).

    The Chinese also converted from empirical management to moral management and stagnated. The Muslims and Mongols never developed an empirical order.

    The truth is enough if we demand it by force.
