  • What Is The Difference In Thinking Between Milton Friedman And Friedrich Hayek?

    Friedman was a statistician and Hayek a philosopher and historian.
    Hayek explored every field and came to the conclusion that we were having the wrong discussion: the question is simply rule of law under the common law of tort versus discretionary rule of any other kind. Friedman proposed means of producing commons by market means. These works are largely compatible. What’s incompatible is holding a discussion of capitalism vs socialism rather than what they REQUIRE: rule of law vs rule by discretion (not rule of law).

  • What’s The Difference Between Communism And Libertarianism?

    In Communism private property is abolished in order to create exclusively common property. (Rule By Discretion)

    In Libertarianism, common property is abolished in order to create exclusively private property. (Anarchy)

    In Classical Liberalism (Rule of Law), the houses of government constitute a market for the voluntary production of commons between the people who pay for them with sacrifice of their private property. (Rule of Law)

  • Do Women From Ukraine Interested In Dating Indian Men?

    I ANSWER THE HARD, UNPLEASANT, AND IMPOLITIC QUESTIONS

    Not at all. And If I am honest you will not like the answer at all.

    1. Eastern european women are attracted to traditional masculinity. I had problems as an american because I treat women as equals. It means you’re weak and unreliable. They don’t understand or like it. “Men should be men, and women should be women”. Indian men are considered effeminate (they are also in the west – it’s just not ‘a problem’.). They find turkish men tolerable. But they prefer slavic or german men. The problem is that slavic countries are still recovering from communism, and Ukraine in particular is the only poor ‘white’ country remaining. So their choices are limited. The only eason ukrainian women are not more valued than nordic is that they are too poor to know their value at present. It won’t last long. Furthermore while russian women may be fairly ‘easy’ that is not true of Ukrainian women and it is more true the more west you go. I’m short but fairly good looking, charismatic, and ‘smell like money’ and I had a much harder time seducing Ukrainian women. They use the “N-word” all the time and they consider westerners ridiculous fools at times.
    2. Ukraine in general is, like russia and the baltics, a pretty conservative culture, and they still have ‘face control’ at most clubs. And if you’re not white you might not get in, unless it’s a place that specializes in hookers. (Which is where you will go, because it’s NOT where Ukrainians go).
    3. Sex tourism in ukraine is entirely possible and it’s probably great (I dunno, I met someone within a few days of arriving.) But if you spend any time doing business in hotels the hookers are freaking gorgeous and obvious. Think of it this way. $600–1500 for an evening means she has to ‘work’ once a week at most, in a country where the average salary is $200-$300 a month and she owns her own house and her own cars, and isn’t dependent upon an unreliable man. I have studied the club (i tried to buy one), strip club (I tried to buy one), and prostitution (No interest whatsoever – too much bribery required) business in ukraine.
    4. The bad girls will chew you up and spit you out. (You have no idea.) But the ‘good girls’ are suspicious of foreigners. I was dancing with a very attractive young woman but as soon as she found out I was american she crossed her arms, and walked away. (that’s the ‘nope’ sign and you can’t ignore it without getting beaten up).

    That said, I love ukraine, ukrainians and russians, and I am a bit protective of them so I may see the world through that lens.

  • What Do Americans Think Of The Fact That Their Country Is Seen Almost Everywhere On Earth As The Most Arrogant And Bellicose Country Responsible Of The Death Of Millions Of Innocent People?

    WE LOOK AT SUCH PEOPLE AS UNGRATEFUL CHILDREN.

    —-”What do Americans think of the fact that their country is seen almost everywhere on Earth as the most arrogant and bellicose country responsible of the death of millions of innocent people?”—-

    What do Americans think? You mean uneducated or educated, or educated and knowledgeable, or educated, and knowledgeable, and experience americans?

    For the educated, and knowledgeable and experience American, we feel quite rightly that the world is ungrateful for westerners and americans dragging them kicking and screaming out of ignorance, superstition, poverty, hard labor, child death, early death, disease, tyranny. Yes, the european empires tried to drag the world out of a 2000 year dark age and did so profitably. And yes during the world wars, they collapsed and failed to finish the job. And yes, america post-war forced those countries to modernize thesleves rather than directly ruling them as did the colonizers. And yes, communism, socialism, and islamic fundamentalism are all means by which the world resisted being dragged out of ignorance, superstition, poverty, hard labor, child death, early death, disease, and tyranny.

    And yes, we are trying to stop the spread of regressive islam, the same way stopped the spread of regressive socialism, and the same way we stopped the spread of regressive communism. Unfortunately, we are internally under attack by the newest pseudoscientific pseudo rational religion called ‘postmodernism’. And we are no longer in the economic position to fight internal cults (postmodernism that owns our universities and media and government), nor are we in the position to hold states and people accountable for their rule. Nor arwe we in the position to rule states directly. Because the cost is just too high compared to a century ago.

    The USA has had a simple policy since the end of the world war that is unstated:
    1 – This kind of war must never happen again – mankind will end.
    2 – We can prevent such a war from happening by bringing all people into an interdependent economic world order. Economic cooperation changes ‘conflicts’ from physical to economic, cultural, and informational. It is still conflict, but it is less bad than war.
    3 – People will pursue the interdependent economic world order for the simple reason that they would prefer the comforts of consumer capitalism than to be envious of those that have them.
    4 – We can achieve this by a) preventing expansion of state power, b) directing states to producing human rights (all of which are but property rights), c) advancing democracy so that states will work at human rights (property rights) and then by consequences, join the world economic order out of self interest. d) advancing the self determination of peoples, but retaining borders.

    The problem with this set of goals is that:
    a) most peoples are not demographically advanced enough to adopt consumer capitalism, rule of law, and democracy. Familialism and corruption are too common in the rest of the world, and only northern europeans have succeeded in eliminating it. (Read Fukuyama for some of the reasons why)
    b) americans have said ‘self determination’ and ‘democracy’ (The Carrot) but have not spoken the consequence (The Stick). Which is ‘if you choose poorly we will punish your government, and by consequence punish you.)
    c) Had we completed the colonial ( modernization) project in russia, china, and finally in the middle east, rather than abandoning those peoples, we may have made this process less full of conflict, as did the british in their colonies. but at present we are still struggling with russian, chinese, iranian, pakistani aggression, and unfortunately, north Korea’s threat.

    We have paid a high price in blood and treasure where we could just have easily ruled the world exploitatively and by force – without much effort at all. What other people would do such a thing?

    How many people has Islam killed? How many have Communists Killed? How many have westerners dragged out of ignorance, superstition, poverty and disease?

    Our entire project is nothing more than trying to prevent another world war in the process of dragging people out of the abrahamic (jewish, christian, muslim->Marxist-Socialist, Postmodernist, fundamentalist) dark age.

  • What Do Libertarians Think Of A Progressive Global Wealth Tax?

    Why would we want to end capital flight? It tells governments that they are managing badly.

  • Do You Agree That Greed Is The Main Source Of All Problems We Face Today?

    No.
    1 – Overpopulation of the untalented classes.
    2 – Competition for status, because status increases opportunity.
    3 – Factual differences in individual, group, social, political, and religious value in modernity.
    4 – Lack of material value of vast sectors of the population – which will only get worse as technology advances.

  • Is Social Conforming A Form Of Lying?

    THE BEST ANSWER YOU WILL FIND.

    In display (dress, manner) conformity is a form of taxation. (cost)

    In action (behavior) conformity a form of taxation. (cost)

    In word, the question is whether the statement is true (scientifically), or false, not conforming or non conforming. If you state the truth, it’s a form of taxation. (cost)

    In Religion, it’s both lying and taxation. All cults other than Aristotelian (science and law) require payment of taxation by display, word, and action, as a cost of membership in the cult.

    The means of distinguishing between a theocratic government and society and a scientific (rule-of-law) government and society is whether you must pay a cost of display, action, and word that is false in order to obtain or maintain membership in the organization – where government, cult, society are all forms of organization.

    The problem is, that conformity may amplify or reduce your relative status signals (perceived market value to others). And so the lower your genetic, social, economic, and political capital, the greater your demand for obtaining signals (positive attention) by non conforming means. This is why people ‘with’ tend to conform, and people ‘without’ tend not to. Search for status signals in some other group than the dominant genetic, social, and economic status hierarchies

    All humans are rational actors. That’s necessary for evolutionary persistence.
    They just may not understand the rationality of their actions.

  • What Are Good Introductory Books To Study About States, Politics, And Public Laws?

    THE BEST ANSWER I KNOW OF

    The reason we are in this post-enlightenment political and pseudoscientific debacle is that Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Hegel, Marx, and Nietzsche had very different beliefs about human nature – they expressed their own Aristocratic, Middle Class, and Underclass perceptions of man. And today we see Nietzschean(‘Aryan’), Hobbesian (authoritarian), Lockean (libertarian), Rousseauian (Social-Democratic) and Marxist(socialist and communist) SELF PROJECTIONS of the nature of man. When in reality, our physical brains are structured in a spectrum from the very masculine(Aryan), to the very feminine (Marxist), and we are totally incognizant of our cognitive biases.

    So the first problem is understanding MAN before we can judge rule, government, politics, economics, norms, and religion. And that is provided by science. Then we can understand Politics.
