  • The Marginal Cost of Revolution To The Individual A small number of heroic souls

    The Marginal Cost of Revolution To The Individual

    A small number of heroic souls will pay high costs to rebel, and in doing so decrease the cost for each person that follows, until a mass of individuals acts, and in doing so reduces the price to nearly zero.

  • Violence has and always will provide decidability. We have tried so desperately

    Violence has and always will provide decidability. We have tried so desperately to accommodate women in government – itself an act of violence – despite their zero value in the exercise of violence.

    Accommodating women’s weakness is not the same as changing the predominance of violence whatsoever. Accommodating the weak, the solipsistic, and the psychotic character of women has been a luxury good. But empirically speaking it has caused the suicide of our civilization, and its vulnerability to invasion, propaganda, and deceit.

    Women have but one power: disapproval. And that power exists only so long as men will tolerate it. And men will tolerate it only so long as it is useful.

    Women have merely replaced the truth of violence, with lying about it in all walks of life.

  • Knowing What You’re Talking About.

    We use law (common law of torts) to decide matters of conflict. That is the total function of the law. (Yes, that’s just the fact of it) The practice of law evolved to standardize punishments in order to reduce retaliation cycles between groups that had evolved different punishments (yes, that’s just a fact of it)z The reason for the standardization was to prevent conflict was to preserve the income from taxation, and the cost of policing the territory and economy, including market for productive populations. Law exists as a set of records. Those records consist of decisions. Those decisions include reasons for those decisions. Those decisions are necessary to resolve conflicts between individuals. While we use the term ‘law’ for many purposes, the term can only mean common law – (post action). Command of dictators (direction to act or not to), command of legislatures(legislation) – direction to act or not to, and command of regulators (administration of insurance by the state) – (prior constraint), do not constitute law. They merely are enforced as if they are law. Whenever someone says something is like something else, it means he does not know what constitutes the thing in the first place. WHile it is possible to use analogies for the purpose of establishing definitions, one cannot treat an analogy as a premise for the purpose of deductions from the analogy. Instead, one can use analogies to establish understanding (definitions) then to clarify that understanding (definition) through operational construction (proof of possibility, test of parsimony). From that parsimonious definition it may be possible to continue to produce constructions that define operations that change state between that which we have defined. But analogies are the primary reason that people overestimate their understanding, and it is the primary means of deceit. The word ‘is’ and all variations of it (the verb to-be) can only mean ‘exists as’. Otherwise it is equivalent to using the word ‘thing’: meaning ‘i dont know or understand this reference.’ So, no. If you understand what you speak, then you can speak it and argue with it. If you cannot understand it you may speak it, but you cannot argue it. It’s not complicated.

  • Libertarians are Beggars for Liberty

    Libertarians are beggars for liberty. I’ve stopped using the term liberty. I’m not a beggar, or a free rider. I understand now that the only method of obtaining liberty is permission, and the only means of obtaining the equivalent without permission is sovereignty; and that sovereignty in fact can only be brought into existence by sovereign peers through reciprocal insurance: a militia. Aristocracy creates sovereignty by force. Because it is undesirable by the masses of parasites who either prefer parasitism or are a dead weight upon the rest of us.

  • Definition: Origins of Property Rights

    Property rights are determined by those able to mass sufficient violence it to define their constituency and their limits. Under natural law property rights ARE absolute. It is the externalities that determine their limits not whether or not one has demonstrated investment in them. Ergo, scientifically property rights must be absolute, contingent upon the consequences of their exercise. Practically speaking property rights evolve to suit the median of the population, which is why western europeans prior to 1900 had the worlds highest degree of property rights.
