    Um. Lets get this clear for the sophists, ok? I use the outline of aristotelian philosophy, but as far as I know I write science. The science of testimony, cooperation, and law. The fact that I frame it as a philosophy (means of decidability in pursuit of a preference) rather than a science (means of decidability independent of preference) is precisely so that I can undermine the independence of philosophy, and correctly position it as MORAL FICTIONALISM.

    Eric Danelaw It all begins with a militia. That is what separates the west from the rest. Without concentrated production capital (flood river valleys) that ‘industrialized’ production, it was not possible to concentrate sufficient wealth to form armies. Instead, the wealthy (nobility) supplied their own men, steeds, arms and armor, and the militia fought with them to hold their land, the property, their women, and the civilization from conquest. The byproduct of the order of the militia is a shareholder arrangement between peers – and the one law of reciprocity. –Curt Doolittle

  • That’s patently false. On the other hand, we do stay away from parasitic people.

    That’s patently false. On the other hand, we do stay away from parasitic people. So if parasitic and ‘real’ are the same to you, perhaps you should mix with real people. People with money cannot keep it, without understanding human nature.

  • Revolt And Separate

    When you have nothing to sell the unwashed masses, and they have nothing to sell you, the only solution is to revolt and separate. Cooperation requires exchange. When exchange is impossible then cohabitation in a polity is impossible. Because a polity is nothing more than a market for exchange of wants.
