    YOU ARE WELCOME TO YOUR PRIVILEGE

    —“White privilege isn’t just for white people. It’s a privilege to live in a world with us in it.”— Eli Harman

    —“We tell the truth, seek the truth, trust one another, rely on property rights, the jury, the militia, and individual responsibility – all so that the rest of the world doesn’t have to. White privilege is a universal good.”— Curt Doolittle

    —“Even with all the mistakes we made, we still managed to drag humanity out of mysticism, ignorance, illness, despotism and poverty – albeit, kicking and screaming all the way. We shall never be heroes to our debtors. However, we should never apologize for what we have done for man. So, that said, Sorry, no, we’re not sorry. We are sorry that we didn’t save mankind for mysticism, ignorance, illness, despotism, and poverty, earlier, faster, or better. But I am not, we are not, sorry for having done so, and reaping the benefits of doing it, and continuing to do it.”—Curt Doolittle

    —“Privilege is earned by a people enforcing high costs on its members. Abandoning mysticism, deceit, cheating, free riding, rent seeking, corruption, dual ethics, tribalism, familialism, magic, ignorance, certainty, justification, unearned status, hierarchy and despotism, and admit to yourself the truth of the failure of your culture to achieve the same – is a very high cost. You can have the privilege of white people too, if you abandon your mysticism, deceit, cheating, free riding, rent seeking, corruption, dual ethics, tribalism, familialism, magic, ignorance, certainty, justification, unearned status, hierarchy and despotism. “—Curt Doolittle

    From my ex-wife, Allora Doolittle, in regard to like/dislike etc in business collaboration:

    —“I wish social media would die.”—

    Very Old New England of her to say that.

    Very proud of that woman.

    HOW MUCH WOULD EVERYONE ?

    If we took the total tax revenues, and distributed them equally to all american citizens, then how much would each of us receive? Or, think of it the opposite way: assuming that all of us paid equal taxes, how much would each of us pay per year (man, woman, non-working elderly, working, able to work but not working, youth and child?

    $10,000.

    It’s true. Ukrainian’s hate it when you say that the health maintenance care at the medical clinics here is better than in the states, because doctors actually spend time with you, diagnose, treat, and educate you – time and attention are ‘health care products’ that cure you as well as do physical chemical and manipulations of your body. Sure, if you need critical care, need it urgently, and especially if you don’t want scarring, you will get much better medical care in the states. But TIME and ATTENTION portions of ‘care’ is industrialized in america, and because it is industrialized, it has repeatedly failed me (and I have had multiple serious illnesses). I would rather be treated for routine problems here, than in the west (UK especially). UK and Canada always seem ‘dirty’ and poorly maintained compared to US medical services.

    We are going to publish an article a week in Ukrainian, on how to achieve liberty and prosperity for Ukraine by creative competition as a means of reforming the bureaucracy.

    I will try to stay on message of course. Some of the messages:

    The value to Ukraine of long term war over the eastern regions.

    Why the oligarchical clans are not a material long term problem, but a potentially beneficial aristocracy to compete against the state.

    How Europe can fund Ukraine indirectly without expanding corruption – covering pensions.

    How to solve the problem of title to property.

    How to construct courts of lustration, legal reform, and commercial credit and contract, and providing young sheriffs for them – not police.

    How to slowly increase consumer credit, and worldwide investment in Ukraine.

    How to create a higher trust society and the economic rewards of doing so.

    How not to repeat Europe’s suicidal social errors and to preserve the sanctity of the traditional family.

    The potential for an Eastern European border alliance preserving the traditional family.

    The end of the postwar consensus on borders and the necessity of nationalism and nuclear weapons.

    Why are Ukrainians poor? The commons: Truth, trust, contract, credit, responsibility, law, and corruption.

    You are poor if and only if you do not police one another’s responsibility for physical, institutional and normative commons. It is your responsibility and your cost to bear, not someone else’s.

    HELP WITH LIBERTINE FALLACIES?

    I am trying to collect (so I can refute) all as many of the libertine / austrian fallacies, as possible.

    As you think of them would you please post them, and I will maintain the list.

    CULTURAL OBSERVATIONS

    I do not find love, kindness, or generosity to be scarce commodities. The more love kindness and generosity you give, the more there is in the world. So, It is magic. The more you use, the more you have. Actually, it’s how trade works too. The more trade you conduct the more wealth you have. In love, kindness and generosity, just like in production, distribution and trade, the more of it you practice, the more of it there is. People here are often so unfamiliar with this concept that they fail at both economics and at love, generosity, and kindness outside of the inner circle of the family.

    http://www.foodsmatter.com/allergy_intolerance/sulphites/articles/sulphites3.htmlAPOLOGIES

    Apparently, last Friday I managed to down a piece of apple strudel full of enough preservatives to disorient me until today. As a matter of course, In this city, these pastries are made specifically without preservatives, but this restaurant, I guess not.

    Now, normally, exposure to various preservatives puts me to sleep for six to eighteen hours, and in a state of confusion and stress for one to three days, during which I do little other than sleep and feel like I have the flu. But this time it was worse than usual. I suspect because hydration seems to affect the intensity somewhat and I have been dehydrated of late.

    It has the interesting side effect of making my autistic speech return. That is, that I can still work, and even produce good philosophy, but my ability to produce coherent sentences declines rapidly.

    The current theory is that some of us are short a mitochondrial enzyme (I know this is true on my mother’s side, and is common in Celts). Repeat exposure produces an immune response. This immune response can develop at any point in one’s life.

    I am equally intolerant of MSG, and pretty much any agent that affects oxydation, or the dopamine pathways. I suspect, from what my mother has said, that I had early saturation with MSG and it developed from there. I remember specifically that I could get ‘confused’ from eating Maraschino Cherries – which was really frustrating as a small child at holiday time.

    So, to my followers I am sorry for the rather austistic writing I have done over the past three days. Although It is interesting that I still was able to produce a few innovations over the weekend, even if I wrote them badly. There is some sort of meaning to this that I want to get my mind around: I do philosophy ‘prior to language’. Which for linguistic philosophers must seem impossible, but to me, is informative. Over-fascination with words, and under-emphasis on actions is probably what has hampered philosophy for more than a century.

    My philosophy is one of action in time. My analysis is operational. My thinking is spatial, not verbal. And under duress I may lose the verbal, but I seem to retain the spatial.

    That means something.
