    WHY SQUANDER INHERITANCE THROUGH REDISTRIBUTION?

    Why should I squander my earnings through redistribution? Why should I squander my savings through redistribution? Why should I squander my culture’s high trust norms through redistribution? And why should I squander my genes through dysgenic redistribution?

    If you claim to have rights to your earnings, to your life, and to your property, then why do you only have those rights and not the right to your other forms of capital?

    My purpose is to promote my genes, even at the expense of others genes. If we can cooperate while I do that then that’s fine. But if we cannot cooperate while I do that, then there is no point in cooperation. We all demonstrate our time preference. That’s mine. That’s everyone on earth’s preference other than W.E.I.R.D’s – who are demonstrably suicidal.

    Squandering your inheritance is suicidal.

    I can attest to my observation.

    I can attest to my actions.

    But can I attest to my predictions? (forecasts/theories)

    If the president can nullify laws, then why can’t the states? or cities? or counties?

    I need a stuffed animal called ‘nullify’ that I can hug at night.

    HOPPE WITHOUT ROTHBARD?

    How can you support Hoppe while castigating Rothbard?

    It’s easy. Discount all the Continental and Cosmopolitan justificationary nonsense and you’re left with the solution to formal institutions that can replace monopoly bureaucracy.

    I’m still not sure why all that justificationary nonsense is meaningful or necessary. Because it isn’t. But Hoppe’s solutions are solid.

    Well, you some might argue that Hoppe got his ideas from Keuheldt-Leddihn, I don’t really see that. I see hoppe as the first to successfully use economic language to express ethics and institutions (politics and political economy) in consistent rational terms. And to construct formal institutions using those terms.

    Besides. I think Rothbard was a disingenuous, dishonest bully, and I see hoppe as just the opposite.

    The original work has been around a while. But this article is a good bit of promotion of a very important idea: that IQ can be considered a personality trait because it so significantly effects many personality traits.
