    TRUTH

    Truth, meaning, the most parsimonious testimony you can give, beyond which you state only a tautology.

    For this reason there is only one truth available to man.

    There are many tautologies.

    But there is one truth.

    I don’t look for analogies.

    I LOOK FOR NAMES.

    Seek true names.

    EXAMPLE OF WALTER BLOCK’S LIBERTINE IMMORALITY

    Here in Ukraine, speculators buy up appointments to apply for visas, and then sell them for 1000UAH (about $50, in a country where people make $200 a month and raise children on it.)

    Now, according to libertarianism this is moral, ethical, and non-aggression.

    According to propertarianism (and human nature) this is not a productive, fully informed voluntary exchange free of negative externality.

    But so called ‘parasitic’ libertine rothbardianism claims this is moral. Yet that which is moral is that which incentivizes us to cooperate rather than incentivizes us to prey upon one another.

    Why doesn’t the government require that all appointments scheduled are for the individual applying for the visa? Well, because they’re in on the parasitism (corruption).

    Now, I want to know why I don’t kill you and take your stuff. The only reason not to is if we engage in fully informed, productive, voluntary transfer free of negative externality.

    Libertinism is just an excuse to continue usurious parasitism of the ghetto. It’s not moral. It’s immoral.

    Great Interview with ICTV today. Very, very professional. I have no idea how they will condense anything I said in to under five minutes but I assume their professionalism applies to editing as well as interviewing and camera work. 🙂

    Want to thank my friends Марта Госовська and Andrii Drozda for help. It would have been impossible otherwise.

    I hope there is some way to get the footage of my blabbering from them because there was some very good stuff in there thats worth sharing and it would be a loss to have it on the cutting room floor so to speak.

    Want to thank Hrystyna Velychanska for providing such a professional team. It was an absolute joy to work with them.

    Thanks again all.

    Hugs

    Curt Doolittle

    There is nothing transcendent about government. You produce commons. You resolve disputes. You protect neighbors from your own and your own from neighbors.

    Evangelism has no place in government.

    Government is just a technology like any other.

    —“Honestly though, there needs to be a debate between Curt and Stefan.”—

    Look I love Stefan Molyneux. I don’t want to debate him. I think the two of us together to could radically transform the libertarian and conservative movements for the better. I think we could have a panel discussion with the two of us, where we both answered questions from libertarians. I think what you’d find is that I answer some things differently. But the overlap is enormous.

    Stefan is an exceptional advocate and educator. I’m a pretty hard core philosopher. I wish I could communicate as well as Stefan. I can’t. I never will. Heck, there are already guys that are better at communicating my ideas than I am.

    It’s just like debating Hoppe. The argument would be terribly technical but in the end it’s matter of profound agreement (at least on my end). I would like to have a panel discussion maybe to show people how we would *say the same thing* differently.

    I have a luxury these guys dont. I didn’t start out with a libertarian cause. I started out trying to solve the problem of communicating the western group evolutionary strategy in ratio-scientific terms. And I’ve been working with software a long time to support myself so to speak. Software is an existentially demanding and very precise language. So habituating strict construction while avoiding rationalism and justificationism made it easier for me to fix Hoppe’s kantian arguments, and not fall into the justificationary problem Stefan Molyneux has faced.

    I had to attack libertarianism for three reasons:

    1) I had to test my theories against criticism – I”m a scientist. There is just no other way than to get into a street fight and win without all the Queensbury rules that support the entrenched paradigm.

    2) I had to end the immorality of Rothbardianism as a distraction for libertarians, NRx, and conservatives. Otherwise I couldn’t unify conservatives and libertarians again behind a single movement. I had to deprive libertines of moral ground.

    3) (Honestly) I knew it would draw fire and attention and it was good marketing.

    I don’t think it takes any work to attack Conservatism. Movement conservatism so evidently failed, that no one even argues using it.

    THIS GUY IS AWESOME

    I wish I was as good at communicating my ideas as he is.

    Check this out. It’s his bullet points from my latest interview with Henrik at Red Ice Radio:

    ===

    High Points:

    The Old Right failed because its premise—that outsiders, with enough political enfranchisement, have a sufficiently high propensity to adopt the Western way of life (North Sea ethic)—was false.

    ‘Equality between men’ was just a politically expedient narrative to overpower the Western monarchies.

    Rothbard, fatally according to Curt, believed ethics could be based on property and loan, rather than non-conflict.

    Keynesian pseudo-science is based on the belief or practice of escaping full accounting (non-operational aggregation) and creating enough wealth to not care.

    People in the IQ 80s are too costly to organize via classical liberalism; they can only be gradually weeded out through strict enforcement against crime and voluntary sterilized-based, income-guaranteed contracts.

    We’re entering the Caesar phase, where usually classically liberal-abiding people can no longer tolerate not interfering in the market with a Caesar-like figure (in America, Trump), because that narrow commercialist ethic has been used for too long against them.

    The Right routinely loses because democratic methods are the current, locked-in mode and through which no ethic of limiting consumption is palatable to the masses [Evola and Spengler obviously talk a great deal about the historiography of this circumstance.].

    Egalitarianism and the Blank Slate mentality are largely the product of female evolutionary behavior, where women have little control over the quality of their offspring (because men are more materially dominant for nearly the entirety of the species’ history) and thus have a reason to support indiscriminate welfarism, where men have more control over the genetic quality of their offspring and therefore don’t.

    This lack of material power by women leads them to ally with each other toward this welfarist goal, where men ally with each other to control the fertility of women and eliminate other male competitors [this makes Feminism nothing but a slave revolt against male-imposed eugenics].

    This isn’t calling one party good or evil, just evolutionary emergence.

    Conservatives allow that which doesn’t hurt the tribe over the long-term; Progressives pursue personal dysgenic libertine profit, even while intuiting that it hurts the tribe, because they don’t value that time horizon.

    No particular political psychology or gender perspective is ‘right’ or should argue as such if it’s not just trying to similarly achieve a discount (in this case, getting another party to essentially ‘give away’ something, through enough moral and emotional harassment).

    Instead, a negotiation between the perspectives where possible could yield a much more productive sustained solution [though, like he said with the IQ 80s, some groups will be nearly impossible, if not impossible, to sustainably work with, because they can’t even begin to be reasoned with].

    Governments were an important institution for creating commons, but we monopolized its function, rather than creating a robuster market of cooperating political blocs. This makes Doolittle very close to being an ancap; he just understands economics too well to make the mistake of supporting total privatization.

    Curation of commons’ two main methods: (1) strict enforcement against crime, and (2)remuneration toward those who abide by public standards of behavior in the commons, but are lagging behind the threshold of useful labor through one-child guaranteed income contracts.

    Right now, a great deal of Western decline is caused by liquidation of commons and subsidizing of fertility of the underclass—magnifying the cycle—and the confusion of how to negotiate our way out.

    Democracy is a means of choosing how to distribute the proceeds of capitalism (the voluntary organization of production distribution and trade).

    But it is Rule of Law, and an Independent Judiciary, and the “Juridical Cult” that makes capitalism, wealth, democracy, and the redistribution of the dividends of capitalism by democracy possible.

    Democracy is a luxury that is the product of rule of law.

    It is frosting on the cake. It’s consequence not cause.

    The cause of wealth is universal truth-telling, rule of law, Jury, and the inviolable sacredness of the common organic law we call ‘Natural’, necessary, law.
