Now, information analysis would tell us that the information used and provided by private people with much knowledge is traded for that of politicians and bureaucrats without it.
Production and in vestments for consumption and malinvestment.
Consumption over production.

THE COST OF REVOLUTION
1) Revolutions are a cost. Not revolting is a cost. The question is only which we prefer to pay.
2) Property rights are obtained by raising the cost of not exchanging property rights. They are lost by failing to pay the cost of making property rights cheaper than their absence.
3) Liberty is obtained by raising the cost of infringing upon liberty. Liberty is lost by failing to pay the cost of making liberty cheaper than the alternatives.
4) The common law is obtained by raising the cost of constructing legislative commands and regulations. The common law is lost by failing to pay the cost of making the common law cheaper than its alternatives.
Western civilization has accumulated a great deal of fragility. We can no longer (like Russians and Ukrainians) return to the farm for survival. There are four hours of energy, one day of water, four to six days of food, three weeks of order, 30 days of economic stability, and 90 days of political stability, in the funnel.
We no longer need armies, masses in the streets, or a political majority to construct a revolution. What prevents a revolution today, is merely a solution that a minority are willing to fight for, despite paying the highest possible price.
Property rights are constructed by the threat of violence and predation if they are not constructed.
All other arguments are acts of free riding: theft by fraud. The attempt to obtain property rights without paying the (high ) cost of them.
There can be no discount on liberty.

Socialist, libertarians and neo conservatives.
Meanwhile, rule of law requires no obscurantism or ideology or propaganda.

WHY NATIONS FALL
(profound) (Taleb) (cycles) (rule of law)
Food for thought, since the first political scientist (machiavelli) didn’t provide the answer:
As far as I know, states fail for a number of reasons that are obvious in retrospect.
1) Plague and starvation.
2) Weather pattern / climate change.
3) Disruption of trade routes.
4) Exceeding institutional means of organising production and controlling consumption.
5) Frigility from the inability to adapt due to accumulated rents.
6) Over extension or exhaustion from war.
7) Conquest, genocide and plundering.
8) Immigration, insufficient reproduction, and outbreeding.
Of these, except for 1 and 2, are political failures caused by the same problems we face in democracy: accumulated rent seeking instead of accumulated investment in risk mitigation.
Or what Taleb refers to as Fragility.
In other words: malinvestment.
The reason I make this argument is that there is only one institutional defense against the accumulation of Fragility: rule of law, universal standing in defence of private and commons, and the articulation in property rights of a total prohibition on free riding in all its forms: violence, fraud, free riding, privatization of commons, socialization of losses, and conspiracy; and that such prohibition enforcing against all forms of property: institutional commons, normative commons, phyical commons, private commons (corporate), personal property, body, mind, mate and kin.
Fragility is the product of the failure of the organic common law to prevent the accumulation of Malinvestment by maintaining a total prohibition on free riding.
( Hence my support of this blog.)
The western competitive advantage in economic and technical velocity lies in the rule of law, the independent judiciary, the jury, property rights, universal standing, and our unique emphasis on objective truth telling in all walks of life, because this system provides the least opportunity for the development of rents.
We can see the twentieth century as an organized effort to undermine truth telling by both the academy, intellectuals and the state.
Grammar, Rhetoric, Witness and Testimony, and with the advent of science: ‘e-prime’ and operational language, are necessary skills by which we learn to speak truthfully. Since it is not natural for man. ( It is no mystery why English speakers developed analytic philosophy, the contemporary scientific method, and computer programming.). Man evolved language to negotiate, not describe.
Westerners discovered truth.
That is the secret of the west.

The best thing I can say about the avengers movie is that it wasn’t quite bad enough to walk out.
Can I get the past two hours of my life back?
