  • How Does The Level Of Genetic Similarity Compare Between Human Races And Between Dog Breeds?

    This is a question that demonstrates a misunderstanding of the function of genes.

    You can’t measure genetic distance by comparison of the genome but by comparison of the consequences produced by the combinations of genes over time.

    In other words a single change may cause a disease, a small number of changes may produce profound consequences (such as variation in testosterone), and many many changes may cancel each other out, or must be required to operate in sequence to produce visible consequences (intelligence).

    Humans are ‘grown’ not ‘manufactured’. Most of our variation occurs during the process of growth in utero in particular, then as we mature. Most variations occur because of different rates of growth and inhibitors.

    Humans sort by visible and perceptible value to one another. Most of the time by reproductive and associative fitness. Hence low rotation of the classes.

    Our classes and castes are equivalent to various dog breeds.

  • Minimum Requirements For Libertarian Identity

    —“And you call yourself libertarian. Lol”— So you mean, you don’t understand semantics, grammar, consistency, correspondence, coherence, parsimony and falsifiability? The only requirement for a libertarian identity is sovereignty, and therefore reciprocity, and therefore reciprocal insurance of sovereignty and reciprocity. Ergo, there is no condition under which untruthful speech does not violate reciprocity and therefore sovereignty, and therefore insurance of reciprocity and sovereignty. Either you can warranty your words our you are externalizing costs of doing so onto others. Truthful – meaning warrantied – speech doesn’t violate reciprocity. Un-warrantied speech does.

  • —“But What Did Rothbard Innovate?”—

    —“BUT WHAT DID ROTHBARD INNOVATE?”— 1 – (Respectfully) I always think that’s a rather ridiculous question since of empiricism (Aristotle), Self Improvement(Zeno), Moral Literature (Plato), and Rational Mythology (Augustine), it’s easy to state that all of philosophy is merely footnotes stated in current vocabulary. 2 – My reading of rothbard, particularly “for a new liberty” was that he was (a) trying to restated jewish borderland (ukrainian) low trust ethics, in anglo-jeffersonian high trust terms, and (b) trying to reduce social science to an informal logic. Did he or did Hoppe? 3 – My reading (because I learned it from him) is that Hoppe completed that program, unfortunately, using Kantian > Marxist rationalism, rather than anglo empiricism (law). I just converted it to scientific rather than justificationary prose. 4 – Every thinker is only partly right. My beef with rothbard is that he conflated low trust ethics with high trust ethics, and conducted an pseudoscientific war on the commons as marx did on private property. The only one who was right was Hayek: it’s all just reducible to law.
