    Well, when you work in physics or any other physical science you must account for all the information. When you work in mathematics, aside from the problem of limits, you must account for all information. If you use propertarian argument, you can, in matters of human behavior, account for all information.

    The more I work on the subject the more I understand that our history as moral creatures gave us tragic cognitive biases that take years of work to overcome.

    If you are thinking sentimentally, reasonably, morally, rationally, or even scientifically, then you are probably not accounting for all the information: incentives.

    Because information affects incentives in the human mind, the way information affects other information in the physical world.

    This subject is worthy of a lot of research.

    We are used to making decisions and considering sufficiency for decisions we account only for what we perceive as sufficient information.

    Yet, we can test over and over again in in cognitive psychology, that humans CANNOT IGNORE information they are exposed to. They are forever changed by it just as physical objects are forever changed by the information (energy) that they are exposed to.

    Information is the model that unifies the physical, cognitive, and social sciences. And accounting for information both positive (cooperative) and negative (parasitic) is the way we unify the sciences.

    (diary rant)

    Got a hate mail today from a guy who:

    – Scammed me out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

    – Lost my company more than two million dollars.

    – Cheated on his wife with dozens of women.

    – To top it off, he seduced the wife of one of his top employees.

    – Gave her an incurable STD, which she passed on to her husband.

    – Is a fucking chronic liar on an astronomical scale.

    – Telling me that I am a bad person for ‘betraying’ my wife and business partners.

    – Asking me how I sleep at night.

    Well, you know, it was surreal. Getting out of that environment, away from those … partners, away from my ex, was my goal, my doctor’s advice, and I did it. And to do it I pulled off the greatest deal of my career. And saved them.

    And what did they do?

    I thought I was dead when I came here. I think I”m in good shape largely because I just got away from those …. people.

    Do I have regrets? Absolutely. Had I not been so ill I probably could have kept my marriage. And I definitely have regrets over two or three of the many acquisitions I did in my life that did not work out as I’d hoped – I wish I could undo them. And I regret disappointing ‘ the little people ‘, but never the strong.

    No. Do I sleep? Um…. my business and my writing keep me awake. The noise on the street keeps me awake. Caffeine sometimes keeps me awake. Celebrating keeps me up late. Do I miss Seattle? Well, now and then I really do. Do I miss that life? Not ever. Never never never. I freaking cringe when I think about it.

    I love my life now. I wish I had done all this when I was 25.

    BEST DECISION EVER.

    How do we know that the left wants to farm us, but we not want to farm the left? Because we tolerate secession. They don’t.

    All human organizations grow to the point of maximum rent extraction, then fail when subject to shocks. Rents eliminate flexibility. Why?..

    PROPERTARIANISM VS ANARCHISM

    (promoted to post)

    Points to Ponder:

    Anarchism includes no institutional method within rule of law for the construction of commons. Yet rule of law itself must be constructed as a commons. In propertarianism I have tried to construct a jury system for the construction of commons just as we have used the jury system for the construction of the commons of private property.

    Anarchism does not include a definition of property rights sufficient for the reasonable, rational, or empirical formation of a voluntary polity.

    I believe these are the two differences.

    I do not believe a state exists in propertarianism, only that a rule of law is objective for ALL matters, rather than subjective beyond physical property.

    Cheers.
