The rate at which free riding accumulates, and therefore the rate at which trust erodes, and economic velocity declines, is determined by the time between an innovation in free riding, and its suppression by law.

Using Hayekian Triangles for the Production of Moral Law?
Hell… since the production of means of suppression (law) is in fact, a production cycle, then, why should I just not represent innovation of free riding and the suppression of it by law as a supply demand curve satisfied by a production cycle – using Hayekian Triangles?
I need more time in my life.

REPOSESS LIBERTY
(humor)
I want to drive up to the house of congress with a fleet of tow trucks, walk in, and say I’m here to repossess my violence, because clearly they aren’t paying me my annual fee of liberty in exchange for it.
Oh. I don’t need the trucks really. Or to walk into the house of congress. That’s just a bit of poetic license. 😉
I have my wealth of violence whenever I choose to employ it.
And to use it to construct liberty once again.
BLOOD SPILT FOR LIBERTY IS A BEAUTIFUL THING

CULTURAL CRITICISM – EXERCISING GUILT
You know I feel guilty criticizing culture after culture – other than the germans – even though I am more critical of my own people’s universalist stupidity than I am of anyone else’s behavior. The only thing that continues to strike me and drive my bias is the economic technical and artistic results that a bunch of cattle-raiders produced by accident of telling the truth out of martial need, and then greedily protecting their well earned sovereignty by a division of responsibility and fear of authority instead of falling into the ‘civilization trap’ of ‘efficient organization’ that is anything but efficient.
Germans mostly get it right, but invented a new way to lie. Anglos really did get it wrong, but did it without lying. I won’t mention the french and the jews for obvious reasons. The Chinese do what works for them, although breaking up china would be the best thing that ever happened to the world – Mao was wrong. And breaking up India is the only way to fix corruption.
The only thing scale does is allow you to conduct war.
Small countries with nuclear weapons solves a lot of problems.

Music and Waves set to The Rubles per Dollar, Rubles per Euro, Dollars per Barrel .
Now, what you may not know is that 50% of Russians are compensated by oil revenues, and that the entire culture requires payments from these funds.
War is being conducted financially. This one of the many virtues of capitalism.

Technically speaking modern conservatism is a pretty young strategy. It’s not really surprising that it should take us this long to put it together.

QUARTERLY REMINDER – WHAT I DO HERE – FAIR WARNING!
For new friends and followers, please understand what I do here on FB. It is my sketch pad. I work in public like a village blacksmith where you can peer into the forge and see the experimental work being done – good and bad.
Propertarianism is a very special thing and you can learn a lot about the world by following me. But it does require that you keep in mind that I am constantly using the community as an experimental pool to test ideas and seek criticism.
I am slaying a few hundred years of sacred western ideas, and doing so mercilously. This often requires that I experiment in everything from very rigorous philosophy, to the most general of aphorisms and narratives. Some of which are guaranteed to offend you. (And me sometimes, too.)
But my goal is to capture what made the west competitively successful in our history in formal logical and scientific terms – for the first time, to capture it as an analytic political philosophy, recommend formal institutions, espouse it as an ideology, and provide moral authority for revolution, the strategic and tactical means of conducting that revolution.
I am not so much a populist as an engineer. Its not my job to be popular. It’s my job to discover the truth.

Entrepreneurs innovate. Property is necessary for calculation and incentives. Trust is necessary for economic velocity (rates). As complexity expands so does the means of free riding and theft, so legal prohibitions must expand in criminal, ethical, moral, conspiratorial coverage at a marginally indifferent rate from the complexity of associations in order to maintain trust and economic velocity.
This state of affairs is only possible in homogenous polities.
