    Sure. Math may be the key to the universe. But don’t let that fool you. Micro economics are the key to man. Hydrogen doesn’t try to outsmart anyone. We do.

  • Northern European society rewarded producers and punished everyone else. We used

    Northern European society rewarded producers and punished everyone else. We used high trust, and high suppression of free riding to force everyone into the market productivity.

    That is a very inhospitable place for free riders and parasites and the unproductive.

    How do the unproductive make room for themselves in a productive society?

    WHY BLAME THE OTHER GUY, INSTEAD OF BLAMING YOURSELF?

    The reason you are conquered is that you are weak enough to be. Why are you weak enough to be conquered? Fix what is wrong with your civilization, rather than criticize your attacker. Understand why you are weak enough to be attacked.

    We failed because we are altruistic. Not entirely, but more than anyone else.

    Our high trust has a down side.

    We just experienced a century of it.

    NOT DONE? A CURE BUT NOT A CAUSE?

    Well, I guess I’m not done. Macdonald and Duchesne explain what happened, who did it, and how they did it, even why they did it.

    But neither of them explain why we were vulnerable to it, other than we are less group-ish than other peoples with higher trust, (probably because of outbreeding.)

    So our outbreeding created trust, which allowed us to be invaded by people who were not honest, did not practice trust, practiced parasitism,

    In other words, is an aggressive parasitic people more successful than a high trust outbred productive people?

    Yes?

    YOU CAN COUNT ON WOMEN TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH

    (humor)

    So Tati lives in NYC, is Russian, from Tblisi, and I haven’t seen here since I’ve been in Ukraine. She gets off the plane, gives me a hug, fusses over me a bit, and here is what she proceeds to say:

    1) You’re fat (couched as I am the victim of ukrainian food)

    2) You’ve got more grey (couched as you look distinguished)

    3) You look like a local gangster (couched as you dress like you fit in.)

    lol. You know who your friends are because they tell you the truth.

    Love you Tati.

    Welcome to Ukraine.

    -Curt

  • COSMOPOLITAN LIBERTINISM: “YET ANOTHER GOD THAT FAILED” Misesian / Rothbardian /

    COSMOPOLITAN LIBERTINISM: “YET ANOTHER GOD THAT FAILED”

    Misesian / Rothbardian / Hoppeian attempt to capture the credibility of classical liberal Austrianism by means of Cosmopolitan critique. Instead, it was just another pseudoscientific attack on western civilization. Just like Marx, Freud, Frankfurt, and Postmoderns: a sustained attack on the ethic of the west: aristocratic egalitarianism. And we were fooled into thinking that it was from just the socialist direction. It wasn’t. It was from the socialists, the libertarians, and the neocons. From every angle of the political spectrum

    We have been fighting the wrong battle. There are no answers there.

    Time to fight for civilization.

    For a return to truth, merit, honor.

    Aristocracy.

  • OK, so aside from possessing an inspirational wit and talent with words, Eli Har

    OK, so aside from possessing an inspirational wit and talent with words, Eli Harman is a very good looking, giant of a man. Gotta get a photographer to do some pro headshots of this guy, and start converting his little bits of genius into Memes. You’re marketable. The market wants your product. Brand building big guy. 🙂 Love you man.

    —Liberty will win because it is the most robust sort of authoritarianism.–

    —You can kill a king, you can kill a dictator, you can subvert a democracy. But against millions of free people, each possessing the means to end you when they wish, what can you do? Only lie. And only so long as they let you.—

    —It used to be said that “a policeman beats within every Prussian breast.” This is something to aim for, something, indeed, to surpass.—

    —The US is an empire of lies. Everything about it is a lie. The Constitution is a lie. The politicians are liars. The bureaucrats and functionaries are liars. The cops are liars. The “laws” are lies. The judges are liars. The lobbyists are liars. The intellectuals are liars. The media are liars. The diplomats are liars. The intelligence apparatus is a bunch of the biggest liars of all. It’s time for a hot truth injection, and the truth comes in many calibers.—

    —“The job of our elite is to identify lies and punish liars. Unfortunately, they’ve joined in. Now we must punish our elites.”—

    —“But, that’s just a social construct!” “No, it’s my nature. My nature is to prefer the social constructs that work to the ones that don’t work.”—

    —In the west, we have high-trust societies. Trust is a form of credit. To extend trust is to extend credit. Either can be abused. In either case, there is risk. No credit is bad credit. If you wish to live in a high-trust society then it is reasonable to ask whether you have established your trustworthiness and how. If you have not, it would be reasonable to insist that you post a bond. If your word is your bond, great. But if (for whatever reason) your word is not enough, then you’d better front cash.—

    —I can’t imagine a surer recipe for misery then going through life expecting it to be fair.—

    (worth repeating)

    From my notes….

    –“An operational definition is produced by defining a process of operationalization and recording the results of operating that process; in order to define a variable, term, or object in terms of a set of tests needed to determine its existence, duration, and quantity or quality. Operational definitions define changes in state as those operations necessary to change state; define unobservable entities concretely in terms of the physical and mental operations used to measure them; and ensures that the definition of each observable and unobservable entity has been uniquely identified with the instrumentation used to define it. Just as the operational naming of numbers via positional numbering gives a unique name to every number, this process of operationalization gives a unique name to an extant entity consisting of the definition for that step, rather than consisting of an analogy that approximates it in some form or other. Operationalism is a process of granting unique names.”–

    This ensures that we are discussing names of extant entities rather than allegories, functions, experiences, or imaginary projections.

    Operationalism is not a truth test, it is a test of truth telling.
