    Dunno man. I think this was a gift from the gods in disguise. I mean… I’m about 5x more productive, we have great chats on Telegram, we can push data to FB, they aren’t blocking the Pages so I mean… other than 60 days worth of posts we can just … I mean. You seem to have it under control.

    PROBLEMS SIGNING UP AT PROPERTARIANISM DOT COM?

    There is a spam and bot filter that limits domain names common for spammers (myname@this.that.xxx”). We had a bug in one line that was not correctly testing a hit. It’s fixed now.

    Please register. It’s basically facebook + courseware.

    We don’t care if you take courses. It’s just so you can participate in the discourse, and be informed when we need to reach you (or you need to reach the rest of us).

    WHY UNIVERSAL NATIONALISM VS GLOBALISM

    by Curt Doolittle

    —“I do universal nationalism. Why? Because natural law judges it as the only not-immoral means of cooperation. But that doesn’t tell you much. Instead it’s because “all men are distant relations cooperating to raise their people by the production of commons information, goods, and services, best suited to doing so despite our differences in rate of development bias in temperament and bias in distribution of abilities.” And if we construct states as extensions of the family, household, clan, tribe, and nation, we have elites who serve the interests of their people on their terms, and the smallest proximity-to-influence-and power that is possible. And we ameliorate our differences not through politics, power, and commons, but through trade of information, goods, and services. If we do otherwise, under globalism, we put those people into competition, where there is one small global elite with interest in one another, and a host of common people suffering their rule. So there is no system of rule superior to universal nationalism, with tolerance for migration of elites for trade purposes – but prohibiting them from local political enfranchise and social involvement, and public speech.”–

    —“One of the common themes we see from some people who countersignal us is often they seem to pooh-pooh law as a solution and think that everything can be solved with some sort of aesthetic or spiritual movement. These guys are often young. I see them as just looking for a solution within a frame they understand and that is intuitive to them. In contrast to some of the more mature people who have a spiritual bent but also recognize the importance of punishment (law) and that not everything can be accomplished only with persuasion.”— John Mark

    AHMED REDA SAYS IT BEST

    —“A Propertarian is expected to (and must) use Mathematics (as a universal language of measurement), Science (as a universal language of testimony), Law and Economics (as a universal language of decidability), Natural history (as a universal language of evidence), Literature (as a universal language of meaning) and Mindfulness (as the means of preventing addictions). And a Propertarian is expected to (and must) demonstrate Agency in pursuit of political power, instead of fantasizing about it.”—Ahmed Reda

    (humor)

    Octogenarian, oxygen tubes, sitting on the edge of the bed, trying to work up enough stamina to dress herself. I bring her coffee and a bagel. Reminder her and myself she has nothing to do today, while I list of my appointments. “So I guess you’re stuck with me for a bit.” She looks at me dangerously, with mock courage and calls me a “Wus”. Makes me laugh every single time. I love it when women play tough guy. It’s adorable. Especially when you know they were bubbly, 110lb cheerleaders in high school, who never lifted a finger against, or said an unkind word about anyone. lol All Ribbon malice and butterfly courage.
