I had given up hope! 😉
I criticise popper for failing as did all his cosmopolitan peers because of his cultural hermeneutic bias. I criticise his followers for heaping undue praise and idol worship. Others For errors of formal logic to a problem
Of action. And for errors of empty verbalism. (Fuzzy language)
But in the end my work is an extension of Popper’s Critical Rationalism, and Hoppe’s formal argumentative application of property to explain gaudy’ findings, and to confirm Hayek’s insight into law.
Criticise followers. Appreciate the shoulders you stand upon.

TRIGGER WORD: “RIGHTS”
“We have the right to…”
Translated:
“We do not violate the principle of cooperation by doing ….”
It’s almost always false. Cooperation isn’t a question of equality, but one of incentives. If you engage in parasitism, I don’t have the incentive to cooperate with you.
The first question of politics is: Why don’t I kill you and take your stuff? So when you say “We have the right to…”, you’re saying this won’t make you prefer to kill me and take my stuff.
And that means that whenever the statement ‘if I have the right to…” occurs, the question is only whether the speaker is engaging in parasitism or not. If he is engaging in parasitism then he doesn’t have a right whatsoever.
So claiming one has a right is a contrary indicator – almost always. You do not possess a right, you possess a prohibition. You are prohibited from parasitism. The other fellow has demanded a right of non-parasitism in order to rationally cooperate with you.
So when you speak honestly, you find that the response is quite different.
All talk of ‘rights’ is a means of deceit.

American police don’t enforce the law. They oppress dominance displays.

WHAT IS PHILOSOPHY?
Philosophy is in large part little more than public prayer for the over-educated, under-informed, and insufficiently intelligent; a profitable street-swindle for academics; and a convenient vehicle of deceit for public intellectuals. Thankfully politicians are now too ignorant and illiterate to use it, and voters too dim to grasp it.
Yes you can quote me on that.

—“There has been a total failure of the smart and rich people running our corporations to have any sense of trying to help proles by improving their future-time-orientation. Instead, they just try to rip them off and brainwash them into mindless consumerism. They completely lack what the French called noblesse oblige.”—

Why do we conduct economic analysis in monetary terms rather than work hours? You can judge the productivity of those hours – sure. But consumption must be measured in hours, production in hours. Everything else is basically some sort of deception of convenience?
Talk about ‘mathiness’? OMG. The only measure of consumption was caloric. Now its both caloric and informational. Any ‘family’ metric is another deceit.
Pseudoscience is too prevalent in macro.
IT might sound like I am a neophyte making an ancient argument, but that’s not the case. The problem is that political issues are driven by time and stress. And that consumption in information eras cannot be easily measured in physical terms.
