  • The Third Way (the end of history) Is The Truthful Society – Not Democracy

    [I] am not sure how Fukuyama missed it, other than it seems like all throughout his career he seeks to justify his theory of monopoly bureaucracy, and his admiration of Sinic civilization. He investigates the problems of bureaucracy under democracy – the failure to develop an independent professional bureaucracy first, and then democracy, such that patronage jobs are not given out.

    But he does not demonstrate that the public intellectual class and private companies would not create problems of the Deep State’s self maximization of self interest, the parasitism of bureaucracy, and the bureaucracy’s attempt to eliminate all competition, and it’s enforced stagnation. To create a high trust society one requires (a) a near universal militia (b) private property rights, independent judiciary (‘priesthood’) and rule of law proper (c) a natural nobility with long term interest in the territory, (d) insurers of last resort operated by professionals. One does not require a monopoly bureaucracy. It is an admission of the failure of a people to develop and maintain rule of law. One requires rule of law, law sufficiently articulated that it is inescapable (decidable), and universal standing such that the people can make use of it to control anyone acting in a public capacity in addition to private capacity. If the basis of law is articulated as the total prohibition on free riding in all its forms, including: violence, theft, fraud, free riding, conspiracy, invasion and conquest; and if we defend the informational commons from pollution (“Abusus”), by requiring proof of existence and morality in any claim of common good; and if we construct a market for the construction of commons between the classes; then the end of history is not as Fukuyama claims – the professional bureaucracy. Instead, the professional bureaucracy is yet another example of the failure of a people to develop an answer to the problem of politics, ethics, economics and the social sciences. Chinese failed first to solve the problem of politics. They created the monopoly state first, and never discovered the rule of law. And in doing so, they failed first. The end of history – at least the end of history that we can see today – is the truthful society. And democratic polities of all stripes are yet another failure to construct rule of law applicable to every living soul. Curt Doolittle The Propertarian Institute Kiev, Ukraine

  • Counter Intuitive Econ Solved By Operational Analysis: The Internet Increases Prices

    —Economists have two standard very simple models of product competition: firms can compete on price or compete on quantity.— —“whether firms compete on price or quantity depends more on which of these they must commit to earliest, not which is easier to change at the last minute. Knowing this, once you heard that it would be easier to change prices at the last minute for products sold on internet, you should have predicted that the internet would increase quantity competition and reduce price competition. Which it in fact has. Economics is general and robust enough to predict things like how selling products on the internet changes competition. But you have to use it right.”— https://shar.es/17xxNn

    [F]irst, I want to point out that the reason the author is able to make his argument is that he has operationally explained the phenomenon as a sequence of decisions and actions in time.  Yet intuitive economics would suggest that price competition would be increased while operational analysis (incentives) would cause competition to be decreased.   This simple example illustrates why operationalism is so important to the testing of hypothesis. [S]econd, the author is trying to make a different point, but I want to riff off it to show that firms compete in commodity and non-commodity spaces. And to some degree economists study commodity activity where noise and signal cancel one another out. But that isn’t how companies think about competition, it’s how distributors do. I have taught the following means of competition by firms: 1) Price, 2) Quantity, 3) Profitability or Debt 4) Rents (firms like polities accumulate renters) 5) Adaptation Costs (innovator’s dilemma). 6) Geographic Housing Costs (salary costs) 7) Segmentation (startups start in niches and expand) Why? Decreasing production cycles, increasing distribution of production, the increasing importance of TALENT and innovation service industries. vs capital or credit in manufacturing and distribution companies. In a highly efficient market, one can sacrifice profits for talent while larger organizations accumulate internal rents. This is most frequently the reason Generally speaking, higher profits incentivize more rents. And while prices are sticky, internal rents are much stickier than prices. Generally speaking, adaptation costs vary dramatically from industry to industry: service firms trade out people and production firms trade out people and capital. The difference being that GAP regulation and tax policy obscure the tail of fixed vs human capital, largely because we can finance against the illusion of fixed capital value while we cannot finance against the obvious lack of control over human capital.

  • The Virtue Of Hanging (Frequently)

    [U]nfortunately, the whole expansion of the franchised ruined our excellent ancient tradition of watching your words, through liberal use of the duel. Unfortunately, the whole expansion of the franchise ruined our excellent tradition of telling the truth, by the dilution of libel and slander.

    Unfortunately the whole post-slavery thing ruined our excellent ancient tradition of genetic pacification thru liberal application of hanging. Unfortunately mass immigration ruined our excellent tradition of genetic pacification through sheriffs, posses, and civic duty of every man to defend the commons. Too many unfortunate things for aristocracy to tolerate.   —“A well hanged man rarely reoffends.”—Shaun Moss

  • Differences in Criminal, Ethical, and Moral Rules

    (Riffing off Michael Philip) [D]ifferences between Criminal, ethical, moral. CRIMINAL: The criminal spectrum consists of imposition of costs by manual means.

    ETHICAL: The ethical spectrum consists of imposition of costs by means of information asymmetry. MORAL: The moral spectrum consists of costs imposed by anonymous means. Norms may or many not be objectively moral. Laws may or may not be objectively moral. Under Propertarianism all law is required to be constructed by objectively moral means and everything else must be constructed as a contract for multiple exchanges the net of which must be productive, fully informed, warrantied and free of externality of the same criteria.

  • Ashkenazi Colonialism: Eastern Europe Had Anarchism – And the People Suffered Under Despotism

    [C]ontext: My objective is to falsify if not quash and destroy the Anglo, German, and Jewish Enlightenments, as deceptive, erroneous, and catastrophic failures to generalize group evolutionary strategies, so that I may explain the next step in our political evolution: to replace monopoly government (majority rule) with the combination of strictly constructed, objectively moral, universal, rule of law, with a political market for the voluntary production of commons wherein we replace majority assent with minority dissent only possible by legal means. Hence I attack the anglo equalitarian, german rationalist, and jewish pseudoscientific systems of thought. While science has invalidated the anglo over the past two decades, and propertarian philosophy has allowed me to invalidated the german because of the 20th century advances in the philosophy of science, it has taken me longer to understand why the jewish means of propaganda (deception) is so effective at deceiving the pathological altruism of western europeans. This post is another in the series on the origins of jewish propagandism (loading, framing, overloading and suggesting suicidal actions.) [M]y interest in anarchism evaporated after a few months of living in Ukraine. Because Eastern Europe is where the Cosmopolitan authors got their ideas – from practicing it. A minority managing and preying upon society through privatization of commons produced by conqueror’s military action, but not paid for by the managers themselves. In other words, Cosmopolitan Anarchism is a dishonest attempt to restore the predation of private ownership prosecuted by the Jews against eastern Europe under the protection of external military conquerors (austrian, lithiania, poland, muscovy). In more accurate terms: Ashkenazi Colonialism. Wherein an administrative class is effectively hired to parasitically manage a conquered people and territory. We see this pattern in Iraq, where the same people have formed the administrative (bureaucratic) layer for the Bathist regime. We saw this in Russia where the same people formed the ideological and administrative layer for the Soviets – and the slaughter of the people. We see this in america where the same people have formed the propaganda layer (previously the priesthood) in academy and media for the imperial and colonial american state, and the combined neo-puritain, socialist, libertine, and neo-conservative agendas. In his book “The Fatal Embrace” author “Benjamin Ginsburg” argues that the jews must end their ongoing strategy of allying with the state as a means of oppressing the people, because in every case it results in their exclusion or extermination. —“Thus, over the past several centuries, Jews have played important roles in the construction of absolutist, liberal, and socialist states as well as major parts in movements seeking to reform or supplant regimes to which they were unable to obtain access. Jews have traditionally offered their services to the state in exchange for the regime’s guarantee of security and opportunity. Ironically, however, precisely this relationship between Jews and the state has often sparked organized anti-Semitic attacks.”— (See: http://www.amazon.com/Fatal-Embrace-Jews-State/dp/0226296652/) Anarchism is an ode to lost predation on the serfs of Eastern Europe just like James Bond is an ode to lost empire: they’re both fictions, and late twentieth century action movies are an ode to America’s lost moral high ground. “Voluntary-everything” is equivalent to Lawlessness. It is another great deception like Marxism and neoconservatism: a half truth preying upon the optimistic moral bias of western aristocratic egalitarians and their pathological altruism. Liberty, meaning the ability to do as you with without imposing costs upon others, is a product of the rule of law. And the only principle means of decidability for law that can possibly produce a condition of liberty is the prohibition on the imposition of costs, which we express as property rights, and the scope of those rights evolves in parallel to the evolution of the means of imposing costs that is the product of the expansion of technologies, methods of cooperation, and the division of labor. And we seek parasitism because it is much easier and more rewarding than production. So a few moral men rally to prohibit these parasitisms so that they and all can prosper. Those few men impose rule of law on an immoral population. These men constitute the western aristocracy. Rule of law. Nomocracy. The prohibition on the imposition of costs that result in free riding on the productivity of others. Aristocracy is the only source of liberty.

  • How Does The Republican Party Justify Its Desire To Legislate Morality, If The Core Of The Republican Belief Is In A Government That Should, When Possible, Not Interfere In The Lives Of Its Citizens?

    Common false argument.

    The conservative position is indo-european, and is easily visible in Greece: It is possible to resolve conflicts rationally. But we pay the penalty for our hubris if we assume we are wiser than we have evidence to prove.

    The point is not that we should not change, but that we are not wise enough to legislate change. 

    Turns out they’re right most of the  time.

    Conservatives do understand that the society is falling apart because of the decline of the absolute nuclear family. It may be NICER for some people to be single unwed parents, but those people emerge with different moral intuitions and different political preferences.

    It turns out that monogamous absolute nuclear marriage is perhaps the most important invention of western civilization.  And we’ve accidentally destroyed it as a social institution.

    In that sense, they aren’t ‘wrong’.   There is no free lunch. We aren’t that smart.

    If you can slowly demonstrate that something works without harm, then that’s fine. Conservatives will adopt it. If you engage in hubris, then you’re fighting the core principle of conservatism:

    We aren’t all that bright, and there are tremendous external consequences when we’re wrong.

    Like the liberal’s destruction of the black family, and the current expansion of that destruction of the nuclear family into the hispanic and lower class white communities.
