THE BIG IF.
***If the majority prefer voluntary servitude in exchange for security and the minority prefer liberty in exchange for responsibility, then what is the conflict other than the fallacy of majority democracy that prevents us from achieving it?***

http://www.ecamm.com/mac/callrecorder/HOW TO RECORD AN AUDIO INTERVIEW WITH ME ON PROPERTARIANISM, TESTIMONIALISM, OR ARISTOCRATIC EGALITARIANISM.
(a 12 step program 🙂 )
1) Email me asking for an interview. Suggest a time. Schedule a time. I am in eastern Europe at GMT +2: Reserve an hour.
2) Make a list of questions, or at least a subject, and email them to me. I will make a list of notes. This helps me position the conversation for you.
3) Buy Call Recorder for Skype or torrent it or use a trial copy.
http://www.ecamm.com/mac/callrecorder/
4) Use Skype
5) Test it with three different friends before you call me, for at least ten minutes.
6) Ring me 30 minutes and 15 minutes ahead of time. It’s not like I am sitting around waiting for your call, with nothing else to do. I’m busy, and I get distracted easily. 🙂
7) start recording, introduce yourself. Introduce me. Let me say thank you, then ask your first question.
8) I’ll answer. Please let me finish my thoughts, so keep notes when you’re interviewing, and return to questions. Interrupting me is ok if you don’t understand, but don’t change the subject – the reason my interviews are hard on people is that interviewers dont let me finish a chain of reasoning, and most of my chains of reasoning are quite long.
9) At the end I will wrap up with a summary statement f what I tried to get across.
10) thank each other. cut.
11) I will send you my notes in case something wasn’t understood.
12) You will Send me a link to the finished product.

Dear Obama. How’s that white liberation theology doing for ya? Bit ‘cha didn’t it? Can you see your reputation in history as Nero? Can you? I can. Difference is Nero was merely incompetent. You burned rome on purpose.

ANOTHER THOUGHT ON REPUBLICS
A republic or an oligarchy by any other name, even one ruled by law, is a notoriously indecisive form of organization. I do not see a better division of labor than the one we discovered by accident. A republic is an excellent means of producing commons. A monarchy an excellent means of conducting war. And a democracy an excellent means of fooling the people into suicide.
The Optimum that I know of:
1) Monarch, Military, and Militia for the defense of people, territory, routes, and trade.
2) Independent Judiciary for the resolution of conflicts, Rule of law, Property en Toto.
3) An independent treasury for the provision of credit (issuance and repurchase of shares)
4) Houses for the Production of Commons with members drawn by lot.
5) Families for the production of generations under voluntary selection of mates.
6) Men and Women forming Militia and emergency services.
7) Private provision of public goods.
We had it about right. If we had given women and the proletarians houses and maintained land and property requirements we would have created a market for commons, instead of the fallacy of majority rule (mob rule).

TODAY IS ASK CURT ANYTHING (REASONABLE) DAY.
This is my queue, and I know I’m missing four of five of your requests. If I don’t have you listed here, please tell me you’re waiting for it.
There are things I can answer in five minutes, things in twenty, things in an hour, and things that take multiple sessions. The way I work is to write posts as ‘rest’ between work sessions. So some questions are easier for me to answer than others.
respond to Ivan Ilakovac’s question on art.
respond to Vigilu Pop’s question on changing values.
respond to Sam Fusini on post-grad study of philosophy
respond to Richenbach’s nonsense
finish Josh (nietzsche) response
finish molyneux post
finish friedman book review
Answer (better) the question of a Virtue Ethics and why that is a property of Aesthetics (preference) rather than Ethics (necessity).
I am currently working on formal institutions. I feel comfortable with the general structure of the houses, and of the judiciary, and the military. But I am not comfortable with ritual and education.
After this I have to deal with money and economy, and that is where I was very certain, but now I have to work through the details.
– Cheers

CAPITALISM, MIXED, SOCIALISM : A EUGENIC VS DYSGENIC GAME
RIGHT: Capitalism: the voluntary organization of production as a the result of the incentives that result from the anarchic evolution of money, prices, exchanges and contracts under the single principle, norm, regulation or law of the voluntary exchange of private property. This process is naturally meritocratic and eugenic and therefore scientific, which is the reason why the marxists despise it.
CENTER: Mixed economy: the voluntary organization of production of capitalism, combined with the involuntary confiscation and redistribution of the proceeds of production. It can be dysgenic or eugenic, meritocratic or not, depending upon the amount of confiscation and the use of confiscated proceeds. This is the least worst option in which neither lower nor upper classes can obtain better conditions. (Like marriage).
LEFT: Socialism: the involuntary organization of production and the distribution of proceeds independent of the contribution to production. It is dysgenic and non meritocratic, and provides insufficient incentives to produce enough to meet demands. But this prevents the lower classes from being ‘left behind’ which is their central intuitionistic fear.
