    Had a great chat with a thoughtful friend a bit earlier. Some points that I thought I’d share:

    1) I cannot work faster than I am. I know people want me to. But I can’t. I work pretty much around the clock now, and I cannot produce faster than I do now. So I can’t accelerate the program.

    2) Yes I am open to future expansion of the Propertarian Institute. I don’t view propertarianism as ‘mine to control’ but a formal logic that is part of nature.

    3) I am not an anti-theist, and I do not classify myself as an atheist, although I think most religious people would disagree with me because my concept of god is rather esoteric – and I talk to my god all the time. Pretty much daily. So for my purposes, my god exists.

    4) Throwing over governments is trivial. The problem isn’t throwing over the government. I can write how to do that in ninety days. The problem is giving people something to overthrow it FOR, and a moral justification for doing it and paying the high costs of doing it.

  • get this straight: 1) Mao Zedong: Victims 60 million 2) Joseph Stalin: Victims 4

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-2091670/Hitler-Stalin-The-murderous-regimes-world.htmlLets get this straight:

    1) Mao Zedong: Victims 60 million

    2) Joseph Stalin: Victims 40 million

    3) Adolf Hitler: Victims 30 million

    And it’s a struggle to attribute to hitler those numbers, while it is not a struggle to attribute to Mao or Stalin those numbers.

    Why do I care? RUSSIANS IN UKRAINE talking nonsense about fascists.

    Taxi to airport $4

    Breakfast $3

    You get the idea.

    Mexico prices and European people.

    Johannes noticed that I repeat ideas. “Over and over.”

    Why? Because it works:

    Repetition is necessary for understanding.

    Because you must always improve ideas like stanzas.

    Because sets of complex ideas must be woven together into poems.

    Any talk show host or public intellectual, marketing or brand specialist, or political strategist will tell you the same thing:

    Stay on message.

    People who write help and tutorial documentation will tell you similar things: repeat until the audience feels that they are smart, and that what was not clear is intuitively obvious.

    Propertarianism is a threat to multiple intellectual identities.

    I didn’t realize that.

    In a complex world where we are disenfranchised and alienated, we need and value our identities as means of calculation – the means by which we make decisions that we deem ‘moral’ (right, useful, just, status-producing).

    But if truth is a hierarchical construct, and the pyramid is turned, then all those illusory identities: all that ‘cunning verbalism’ that we so cherish as cult-signaling is reduced to little more than the mental equivalent of fashion clothes or tribal paint.

    It is trivially simple to destroy the international banking class allied with the state. And it is trivially easy to do it as the first revolutionary action. Using democracy.

    ( Oil is not so simple. )

    Aristocracy – those who fight – must prohibit the state. The only means of justly prohibiting the state is by eliminating demand for it. The only way of eliminating demand for it is nomocracy: rule of law. The only way to impose rule of law is destruction of the monopoly bureaucracy.

    http://www.salon.com/2014/11/21/reza_aslan_sam_harris_and_new_atheists_arent_new_arent_even_atheists/Agreed. They are not atheists nor new but anti theists.

    Worse they have replaced theology with social pseudoscience that differs little from anthropological Puritanism on one end, and numerological pseudoscientific economics on the other end.

    Faith in the state, democracy, man and technology to save us from ourselves, and selection bias in science is no different from prior versions of Christianity.

    What does suffer is that the academy prospers not the church.
