  • Why The More I Am Kind With Someone, The Less He Respects Me?

    Because being kind to people creates a sense of obligation and we do not want that sense of obligation to others unless they are the very few people closest to us. Otherwise it limits our ability to act in our self interest.

    (yes, that is really why)

    Majoritarianism (Democracy) is only reciprocal(ethical) among peoples with homogenous interests. Otherwise it is merely a means of circumventing cooperation by voluntary exchange, through the imposition of monopoly (Tyranny). #Trump #RevolutionComes

    Democracy serves only as a means of selecting investments in commons among peoples with homogenous interests. Otherwise, only markets allow the cooperation between those with heterogeneous interests. Democracy is only useful for small homogenous polities. #Trump #RevolutionComes

    There exists only one law of cooperation: voluntary, productive, fully informed, warrantied, exchange, free of imposition of costs by externality against all investments of effort and asset. All law either is constructed from this, or is but predation. #Trump #RevolutionComes

    The family is the result of a compromise in the market between male and female reproductive strategies, while prohibiting the export of the cost of one’s behavior and reproduction on the polity. If that compromise doesn’t exist, male interest is merely to return to rule. #Trump

  • Holochain – Ceptr is pretty much ‘there’. I love that I don’t go thru holochain

    Holochain – Ceptr is pretty much ‘there’. I love that I don’t go thru holochain docs and say “well, that’s gonna fail” or, “well that’s not true”, or “well, that’s bordering on fraud”. Tho, I wish these people would include an architecture section on the site where they write pseudocode for basic transactions as they work thru the system, so that we don’t have to sit through hours of nonsense-jargon to deduce it, but … that said, I’m glad someone’s putting it together. My favorite part of Holochain is that are can write a GOOD UI, whereas with the various ‘coins’ it’s nearly impossible. Secondly, I like that it’s a freaking ACCOUNTING system (Journal) rather than a BTC style LEDGER. I mean. YOu can build grownup applications that way. ( I could for example, improve our product (oversing/runcible) dramatically by basing it on Holochain. it would dramatically simplify the backend architecture, which, for all intents and purposes, consists of a single enormous journal->ledger class. I played a very small part in the database replication era via MSFT. Replication and Federation have always been a problem. And as someone who builds tech for business and industry (usually user interface or marketing heavy) I like the problems the tech solves. Now, when they produce a js, php, or python app framework, that’s the biggie. Because it will make the tech available to the masses of programmers (vs engineers). Building ‘plumbing’ is really boring…. Frameworks let you build whatever you want. The first product that I “owned” (and only one) at microsoft was a suite of sample applications for developers. These were fully capable apps. And as I watched the universe of apps roll out, they were very frequently built on top of one of the sample apps or the libraries. Now, today we have app frameworks everywhere. And the data is pretty clear that the framework sells the technology. So I’ll say that again: frameworks sell technology….. ( Something I wasn’t able to get thru to MSFT server and tools mgmt or the VS team. Even though there were advocates there at the time. This was something Borland and other tech companies understood. And it’s something that the framework producers understand. )

  • Consensus Produces Monopolies And Monopolies Fail To Serve Market Demands

    (important) We all need mindfulness in a method available to us. We all need a strategy using methods and resources available to us. We all need myths(narratives), ideologies (propaganda), philosophies(methods of reasoning), and sciences(methods of measurements) with which to decide how to act to pursue that strategy. The reason being we marginally indifferent enough to communicate within limits and cooperate within limits. But we are marginally different in our genetic, social, economic, physical, intellectual, and emotional abilities. Different enough to require different mindfulness, strategies, and means of surviving, prospering, and enjoying. So we are left with the problem of cooperating on means, despite different ends, and despite different genetic, social, economic, physical intellectual, and emotional abilities. And the only way to do so is markets of voluntary reciprocity at every scale from association to production to reproduction to commons to polities to nations. And the only way to facilitate that is multiple economies slave(prisoner), serf(laborer), freeman(craftsman), citizen(managerial), sovereign(executive). Because the slave needs direction, the serf security, the craftsman opportunity, the citizen liberty, and the sovereign institutions. And our folly has been the post enlightenment effort to produce a monopoly economy instead of a monopoly rule of law and a market for economies given the various needs and abilities. We instinctually pursue consensus and numbers beyond the scale of their utility the same way we extend our perception of ethics, economics, and physics beyond the scale of human perception, and to the point of their failure. The maximum value of consensus is the law of reciprocity. Beyond that the maximum value of any given consensus is that which can be achieved by reciprocity. This is the lesson of the past two centuries. Tripartism was a western practice because like all else in western civilization it was an empirical observation of existential reality – not a comforting lie.
