  • On baiting into moral hazards

    —“Can anyone elaborate on the baiting into moral hazards via pilpul please? Is that to use philosophy and morality as an argument as opposed to utility, reciprocity based on empirical?”—

    0) A woman implies access to friendship, affection, or sex, which she will never deliver. 1) I promise you life after death if you obey and undermine the upper classes. (abrahamism) 2) I promise you power and equality if you undermine the political system (marx) 3) I promise you equality if you undermine men (feminism) 4) I promise you status if you undermine the status hierarchy (postmodernism) 5) I lend you money at usurious prices that will entrap you. 6) I lend you money or extend you credit to gamble. 7) I lend you money or extend you credit to buy alcohol or drugs. 8) I appeal to your morality and pass the hart cellar immigration act. How long do you want this list to go on? Because those are just the easy ones. These are all lies that bait you into hazard (risk and loss).

  • Economic Advice and The Public

    ECONOMIC ADVICE AND THE PUBLIC [E]conomics has been a cudgel for justifying a moral bias, not a science to which we must conform our moral intuitions. Libertarians are largely advocating free riding on the commons just as much as socialist advocate free riding upon the private sector. No economic proposition is decidable by either libertarian or socialist without first solving the question of the distribution of a mixed economy, since only mixed economies can survive competition in the market for polities. The answer of course is just rule of law by reciprocity and that we track investments by the polity in returns and prevent the public from privatizing public gains, just as much as we prevent the public from socializing private gains. In other words, it’s largely a problem of record keeping and accounting. The problem is everyone has an interests in maintaining the lie, and maintaining chaos in the public who resorts to petty moralizing out of ignorance.

  • The Golden Rule Explained

    THE GOLDEN RULE EXPLAINEDby Luke Weinhagen [T]hose of us living in high trust societies recognize the importance of The Golden Rule. We understand its value and the benefits we derive from it. It is one of the first formal lessons in social interaction we teach our children. But when you stop there at the Golden Rule alone, we too easily take it for granted. What we seem to miss is that rather than the Golden Rule being the First Rule of a high trust society – it is the last. THE FOUNDATIONS And so we often take for granted the other foundational rules:

    1. Via Positiva: ……. The Golden Rule.
    2. Via Negativa: ….. The Silver Rule.
    3. Via Logica: ……….The Natural Law of Reciprocity.
    4. Via Existentia: …. Rule of Law,
      ………………………….. … The Jury, and
      ………………………….. … Markets in everything.
    5. The Iron Rule: …. Might Makes Right.

    These are Foundational rules – rules that form the foundations of interaction upon which we build the functions of our society – the closer you get to the Golden Rule the more trust you can support. But High Trust, absent vigilance, allows one to make the mistake of standing on that foundation seeing nothing but the immaculate Gold and stop looking – ignoring the layers below that must be there to support each ascending layer. But these other rules can not be ignored. They are active. Starting from the Iron Rule each rule supports the next, making each possible in turn. The next rule in sequence can not exist without the previous rule being applied and maintained. Today someone is out there applying the fifth rule so that you have access to the fourth. Today someone is out there applying the fourth rule so that you have access to the third. Today someone is out there applying the third rule so that you have access to the second. Today someone is out there applying the second rule so that you have access to the first. “BE THAT SOMEONE” Be willing and able to be that someone. All the way down. If you can not be that someone, be grateful that someone is there. If you can not be grateful, at least do not try to knock that someone down – Trust is valuable and we really want to keep the Golden Rule. These are the rules. They are not complicated, but they are demanding. They are not hard to understand, but they so often seem easy to forget. -Luke Weinhagen

  • Everyone But Us

    EVERYONE BUT US by @BlackSheepBrouhaha

    —“Curt Doolittle is doing better work than Libertarians or Nazis making a coherent ideology which takes this into account. Property is something you defend with your life. If you share that responsibility with others, that’s common property. If you share it with everyone, that’s a nation. It is the frontier which people defend from outsiders. We’ve lost the militia instinct. We own nothing we wouldn’t fight for. We fight for nothing, we own nothing. We surrendered sovereignty to the state and the state betrayed us. Our countrymen betrayed us when they abdicated their duty to defense. Freedom to some means socialization of the common property. They’ve given away what they swore to defend in exchange for tacos and Medicare. It’s like the natives who sold America for a measly price. Violence is an imposed price. A price floor. You cannot sell out this country without paying the cost yourself. You’ve got to buy us out and our price is the blood of bond you swore to defend our nation. That’s what a nation means. That’s what a family means. That’s what a race means. That’s life, and its what every other race is doing but whites.”—
