  • It Makes Sense

    —Those who function by gossip and rallying will of course suppress all language that violates gossip, the same way that those of us who function by property and responsibility will of course suppress all action that violates property.— Curt Doolittle

    —“The world is full of vast conspiracies of shared interests. The question is which one is consistently chosen as a target of their attacks.”—Igor Rogov —“Patriarchy is a giant conspiracy to ensure the long-term survival of one’s tribe.’— Steve Pender —Those who function by gossip and rallying will of course suppress all language that violates gossip, the same way that those of us who function by property and responsibility will of course suppress all action that violates property.— Curt Doolittle —Well, just as all mathematical expressions consists of context independent, scale independent, constant relations using positional naming, and algebraic expression consists of position-relative positional names. ie:Pure relations. Sometimes there are no such possible positional names, sometimes one, and sometimes more than one positional name that satisfies the description expressed in the algebraic description  So again, I am trying to get past the error of the set-logic thinkers who over-extended their technology, by re-operationalizing and de-platonizing mathematics.— Curt Doolittle. —Heroes = External order and personal change vs Anti-heroes = External chaos and personal stability.—Curt Doolittle —I mean, you have how many Alexanders, Caesars, Khans, Tammerlanes, Napoleons, Rommels, MacArthurs, to choose from and you pick some japanese pubescent dick-girls as heroes? WTF is wrong with you? Man up.—Curt Doolittle —pleasure = consumption ; joy = production—Curt —“”If violence isn’t the answer, ensure you are asking the right question” – Moi paraphrasing Curt Doolittle (If inadvertently quoting then priority goes to Curt!)”—Jeff Odgis

  • Next, Coincidence-ism?

    The next evolution after operationalism will be something on the order of ‘coincidence-ism’, where we explore the emergent patterns that evolve from different sized sets of different sized constant relations. Mythology, Supernaturalism, Theology, philosophy, empiricism, science, operationalism, coincidence-ism, and that will lead us to some sort of macro-determinism.

    • OLD: Theological > Metaphysical > Positive
    • 20thC. Supernatural(Anthropocentric) > Rational(ideal) > Scientific (Descriptive).
    • 21stC: Fictionalism, Rationalism, Empiricism, Operationalism.

  • “Let Me Help You”: About Bitcoin

    LET ME HELP YOU: BITCOIN —“Is the bitcoin a sustainable form of currency, in accord to propertarianism?”– It is not a form of currency. Demand for a currency is warrantied by a state treasury through the combination of law and taxes. A bitcoin (or equivalent) is a fractional share in the bitcoin (or equivalent) network, liquid within that network, and only within that network. The difference between these money substitutes, as between all money substitutes, is the degree of INSURANCE, or what is called ‘backing’ that limits one’s losses of the time (value) accumulated in money proper: commodity money. Think of tickets you buy at a carnival. A bitcoin is a ticket. Tickets can only be spent at the carnival. No one else will trade with you for them. You can buy a ticket and spend it on a ride, or sell it to someone else to do the same. The difference is that the carnival can issue as many tickets as it wants, and fractional shares are issued by the profitable carnival rider operators. However, as we have seen, (a) bitcoin operators are generally even more incompetent than banks, and (b) often more dishonest than bankers. And those investments are uninsured. Commodity money (hard money) is insured by demand for the commodity. The fact that we break it into countable units and trademark them guaranteeing their weight and measure, serves to increase the value of that commodity. So commodity money is insured by demand for the commodity independent of any institution or technology, and independent of time and space. Everything else we use as money is a money substitute, and as a money substitute, requires insurance by weaker and weaker means. Fiat money (“currency”) is insured by a government treasury. As we have seen governments can lose the ability to insure a currency. Banks and other asset holders issue “notes” (promises) that are redeemable for money at a face value. Some banks and treasuries issue “fractional reserve notes”, meaning that under normal circumstances, these notes are redeemable for money – but as we have seen, when ‘runs’ occur, very little of a bank’s assets are liquid and very little of its assets can be made liquid. Companies issue stocks. Stocks can be traded but only within a network or through the company. Bitcoins different from stock companies in that they only issue stocks in payment for validation of transactions, and because shares in the bitcoin network can be divided at will by their owner, these each bitcoin is a ‘fractional’ share of the network, backed only by demand for these fractional shares, hosted on a fragile voluntary network lacking all insurance. Bitcoins are technically, fractional shares of token money substitutes, in a token money substitute network, and the least insurable and insured form of money substitute that man has yet invented. The material benefits are that they (should be) reasonably hard to steal, (should have) near zero carrying and transaction costs, and if achieve sufficient scale (trillions) might provide some limited market demand – until there is a power failure. BTW: the primary means of war has evolved from military to economic. The primary future means of war will be deprivation of electricity and communication lines. We are currently more dependent upon electricity than water. So, what propertarianism would say is that unless an individual consumer of bitcoins has been informed of these facts, he has been the victim of deception. But if he is informed of these facts then it constitutes a productive, fully informed, warrantied exchange, limited to positive externalities. Further Thoughts:

    • BTC is exceptionally useful for:
      • title registries,
      • the fractional sale of debt instruments in particular,
      • escrows (if implemented)
      • the elimination of transaction costs, and
      • for serving those outside the banking system.
    • Until a bitcoin transaction is as fast, easy, and insured, as a visa transaction it’s pretty much techie porn toy.
    • Conversely, I don’t know why we need stock markets any longer….
    • I dont’ know why we need title firms any longer…..
    • I don’t know why we need check cashing firms any longer.
    • I don’t know why we need consumer interest any longer….

  • Differences Between Civilizations

    THE CAUSAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CIVILIZATIONS Let me help you. Your civilization will advance or stagnate or die by the single criteria of the available vehicles for males to compete in order to increase their status and therefore position in the dominance hierarchy, and therefore attraction to women for sex and men for followers and opportunities to exploit. There is a very good reason that distance from the point of geographic origin provides an increase in median intelligence. In all of human history, exit is the only means of preventing regression toward the mean. Let me help you. higher latitude, distance from water, and heterogeneity of peoples, work against your civilization. Europe was easier for warrior aristocracy to colonize. the levant worse. Diversity is your enemy. Cool climes, proximity to water and waterways, and a homogeneity of people improve your chances. The only means of preventing regression to the mean is the culling of the underclasses. Exit, Distance, Climate, Manorialism, can no longer defend us. Western Civilization let pandora out, more so than urbanization.

  • If we eliminate the status signals available for childless parents, then we will

    If we eliminate the status signals available for childless parents, then we will eliminate childless parents.  If we eliminate the subsidy of the underclass, and if we sterilize those on the lower margin, the problem will correct itself.
