    I had a sort of cringe reaction when someone forwarded this to me. But was pretty pleased overall. John is exactly the kind of front man we’ve been looking for.

    COURSE PREREQUISITES?

    –“When you do get the coursework set up on the website, will there be prerequisites needed for the economics courses? I have a background in economics and mathematics but it’s been a few years since I’ve utilized things like Calculus regularly. Will there be a quantitative aspect to the program or will it be primarily philosophical / literature based?”— A friend via twitter

    The pre-requisite for Economics is just the application and intro to propertarianism. We are not trying to teach statistical analysis (correlation) only operationalism (causation) – not prediction but explanation.

    So math will be very limited and mostly what we will do is focus on the economics of human behavior.

    If you have read becker et al, and have read my posts on operationalism/mises, and the different economic schools it should be easy.

    Um, I realize that in other cultures, initiating a conversation by saying hello, or waving, or something of that nature is good manners. but I”m an american and a rather anglo-saxon american, and I just prefer you directly ask me questions. Spammers and people with gentle manners are indistinguishable. So pls just ask questions don’t wave etc. I don’t respond.

    —“What led you to replace Pagan with Heathen in this oath?”— A Friend

    Technically ‘pagan’ is the name of a christian criticism of heathens the way marxists used capitalism to criticize the middle class. Heathen means, as far as I can tell, ‘religion of the hearth’, or more correctly ‘folk religion’, or ‘natural religion’. Whereas monotheism = political religion = unnatural.

    Small Sample but reflects everything else I see: AGENCY

    —“The nature and extent of group differences in pain tolerance according to age, sex and race were examined. The method of pain tolerance determination was mechanical pressure on the Achilles tendon, performed on 41, 119 subjects as part of the Kaiser-Permanente Automated Multiphasic Screening examination. The results showed that, on the average, a) pain tolerance decreases with age; b) men tolerate more pain than women; and c) Whites tolerate more pain than Orientals, while Blacks occupy an intermediate position. When the results of this study are compared with earlier work, it appears that, with increasing age, tolerance to cutaneous pain increases and tolerance to deep pain decreases.”—

    I mean, we used to play garbage can bowling, egging, and toilet papering, throwing snowballs at cars, lighting gasoline in the road as cars approached, putting scotch tape across the road between signs, whistling at girls, prank phone calls – and pranks like stealing signs and putting them on flag poles. I did stuff I shouldn’t have like rearranging cones in the road, and road signs. But all of these things were essentially pranks. But crimes? No. I do know people who did petty crimes like shoplifting and minor b&e, just for the fun of it.

    —“The most preposterous notion that Homo sapiens has ever dreamed up is that the Lord God of Creation, Shaper and Ruler of all the Universes, wants the saccharine adoration of His creatures, can be swayed by their prayers, and becomes petulant if He does not receive this flattery. Yet this absurd fantasy, without a shred of evidence to bolster it, pays all the expenses of the oldest, largest, and least productive industry in all history.” ― Robert A. Heinlein,

    A religion without priests.

    A government without politicians.

    A market without ‘journalists’.

    —“Anybody can look at a pretty girl and see a pretty girl. An artist can look at a pretty girl and see the old woman she will become. A better artist can look at an old woman and see the pretty girl that she used to be. But a great artist-a master-and that is what Auguste Rodin was-can look at an old woman, portray her exactly as she is…and force the viewer to see the pretty girl she used to be…and more than that, he can make anyone with the sensitivity of an armadillo, or even you, see that this lovely young girl is still alive, not old and ugly at all, but simply prisoned inside her ruined body. He can make you feel the quiet, endless tragedy that there was never a girl born who ever grew older than eighteen in her heart…no matter what the merciless hours have done to her. Look at her, Ben. Growing old doesn’t matter to you and me; we were never meant to be admired-but it does to them.” ― Robert Heinlein
