Theme: Constitutional Order

  • The Hierarchy of Revolutionary Arguments

      Think of revolutionary arguments as a pyramid: – The theory (strategy) – The Incentives (science) of that strategy – The law (constitution) reflecting those incentives – The generational institutions (“government”) utilizing those incentives – The Intergenerational institutions (“education, religion”) retaining the strategy, incentives, law, and institutions). – The benefits for members (“rewards”) produced by those incentives, law, and institutions. – The motivations (“agitations”) that they produce by those what would obtain those benefits. – The Plan (“revolution”) that provides the opportunity for those whose motivations are sufficient to act – to do so. ||> Intellectuals > operators > citizens > agitators, revolutionaries: Arguments(solutions) for each. And let the weight of self interest drive the revolution – just like the enlightenment did and the eastern conquest of the western empire by levantine christianity did. I start at the top and work down. Most people start at the bottom and never make it past motivations. I expect others to take the ideas and communicate the benefits, inspire the motivations, and to organize the revolution according to plans that are fairly tactical. And I expect to pay a pretty high price for doing all of this work, and I”m ok with it. May 26, 2018 10:31am

    –“Do you consider yourself an Austrian?”–

    I have evolved (by accident) into a specialist in natural law (reciprocity) and rule of law (non-discretion), resulting in markets(voluntary cooperation) in all walks of life. Part of this specialization is an extraordinarily precise criteria for truthful speech, the result of which is completing the scientific method.

    So since Austrian econ is the closest possible model to rule of law, I tend to consider myself somewhere between austrian and chicago, with a bias probably toward chicago.

    Austrian econ is an appropriated term. Because there are two branches : Mengerian, which is fully integrated into mainstream thought, and Misesian, which is not.

    I’ve written exhaustively about the failures of Mises and Rothbard in particular even if Mises came very close to one of the most important discoveries in economic history.

    He calls this positivist (justificationary) discipline ‘praxeology’, but this is pseudoscientific. If you however, combine mises with popper (falsificationism), and mathematical intuitionism and the operationalist movement in physics, you realize that mises tried to make a positive axiomatic logic out of economics, rather than realize he had discovered falsificationism in economics. And then rothbard came along and ruined Mises reputation so badly that we can’t rescue it.

    To say you are an Austrian today probably means nothing other than that you seek to improve institutions of cooperation, and are rather firm in the belief that the business cycle must be allowed to self correct regularly or it will only increase and expand corrections until a ‘collapse’.

    To be a ‘praxeologist’ in the positivist stense requires you’re a bit of an idiot – because in fact, economic phenomenon at any scale must eventually be discovered empirically. On the other hand, as a falsificationist, to say ‘If I can’t construct that phenomenon from rational human choices then it can’t be true” means you’ve learned the lesson that Mises inarticulately tried to teach us.

    As far as I know Austrian Econ today favors the study of behavior, entrepreneurship(individual choice), political economy(institutional impact on economies), and preservation of rule of law over rule by discretion. So the state is the provider of cooperative institutions.

    As far as I know Chicago tends to maintain these but emphasize monetary policy moreso – with the state as insurer of last resort.

    As far as I know Saltwater (Mainstream) tends to seek to maximize consumption at the expense of rule of law – replacing it with rule by discretion, with the state as the direct manipulator of the economy.

    These are actually moral predispositions which is why people self select into these specializations.

    I’m a scientist in that discipline we call law (cooperation). And as such I favor the austrian and chicago methods of action over the saltwater.

While women do lean more towards the left than men, white women are still right-wing just to a lesser degree. I’m not saying women voting is a good idea, but allowing non-whites to vote has been far more destructive.

    Of course, both barring women and non-whites from voting is too far outside of the overton window right now. This is why I would simply advocate banning people who receive money from the state from voting. It would shift elections rightward and could be justified within the context of the current zeitgeist.May 22, 2018 7:18pmErnest HeideggerRepeal every amendment after XMay 22, 2018 7:19pmEdgar BraintreeI’m fine with presidential term limits and barring Congress from voting itself pay raisesMay 22, 2018 7:30pmEric BumpusThis is why we should push for a competency test. It wouldn’t even need to be a difficult test. This would eliminate a good amount of women, they hate test taking or competition where they might be judged. Second, this would eliminate anyone that doesn’t speak English. Third, it would widen the margin of the IQ base. This would also be much easier to install than removing amendments.May 22, 2018 7:32pmKaiser SchimdtI’d be all for thisMay 22, 2018 7:32pmErnest HeideggerSmall price to pay.May 22, 2018 7:32pmWilliam McDuffie IICan’t do it based off of IQ anymore.

I would wager significantly more conservative if you only look at married women.May 22, 2018 7:59pmEli HarmanThe effect of barring minorities from voting would be positive (for whites.) The effect of barring women from voting would be positive (for men especially, but actually for women too, at least in the long run.) It’s true that white women vote better, on average, than minority men. But disenfranchising women would disenfranchise minority women too. And white women still don’t vote as well as white men. So the effects of each policy would be positive. There is no difference there, except perhaps in their relative magnitudes. But that could go either way.May 22, 2018 8:01pmChris LavanI can talk to any man about how women have no business voting. Disenfranchising minorities is a harder sell. Seems like the path of least resistance.

    But can the right win anything? Is taking the vote back in any capacity a possible future?

Period.May 23, 2018 10:30amKaiser SchimdtI’m glad you have such strong opinions about what I should do on my own time. I’m very active irl and am part of a few dues paying organizationsMay 23, 2018 10:52amJohn MarkRegarding “joining dues-paying organizations” as a solution: the True Right (white men, roughly) have a problem in that our instinct as to how to spend our time is to be *productive* and *pursue mastery* and climb *true merit heirarchies*. On the other hand, it is instinctive for leftist customer groups to spend their time creating and filling parasitic political power organizations, because *that is all they have* – they *can’t* climb true merit heirarchies so they play their only other card: “go straight for political power”.

    This fundamental difference in instinct, from what I can tell, means “joining dues paying organizations” will not ultimately work as a solution for us, because we can’t match the left’s intensity of motivation in that arena. The result is probably that white men will put up with the parasites until they just snap and hit the reset button.May 23, 2018 11:06amTim Spillane@[741197263:2048:Curt] what do you make of high IQ white male New Englanders voting blue?

Some vote right, but not enough to undo the damage caused by those who vote left. They make decisions based on a desire to appear “nice” to their peers and pat themselves on the back for being compassionate with other peoples’ money. They don’t suffer the lost jobs and increasing misandry that results from liberal policies. Show them a picture of a dead brown kid, and they’ll vote for the person who promises to “do something,” conveniently ignoring all the dead white kids the brown kid’s relatives will run over with trucks and rape during “sexual emergencies.” They are told that having families is “patriarchal oppression,” so they lavish their bottled-up maternal instincts on immigrants and criminals.

    LAYING DOWN THE LAW ON SOCIAL PSEUDOSCIENCE

    @KennethBuff @sapinker

    People vote POWER given the CONDITIONS of competition. That’s why Democracy works for selecting priorities in a homogenous polity but not choosing differences in a heterogeneous polity, and why there is so much friction between American ‘tribes’.

    Any time we state an incomplete premise we feed discord by supplying bias confirmation by doing the cherry picking for them.

    He (Steve) stated an incomplete premise in order to feed the confirmation bias of a majority faction – not the Truth. (Hence the legal requirement for “The Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth”)

    What the NYT article referred to conveys is that virtue signaling is a form of conspicuous consumption that one forces others to pay the indirect cost of. (Theft by Fraud)

    Or stated directly: we are burning the most valuable form of capital in the world (homogeneity and high trust) for virtue signals, in order to obtain political power.

    If you cannot make a statement in social science using economic terms, then either you don’t know what you’re talking about, or you are engaged in selection bias, or worse, deception.

    Hence the rise of “Economic Imperialism” in the Academy as a counter to social pseudoscience.
