    LOW TRUST IN UKRAINIAN AND RUSSIAN WOMEN

    (and high trust in western men)

    Many of us know that Ukrainian women are probably the best in the world by every measure, because they treat femininity as both an art form and as an expression of power.

    The problem that you encounter, and that I did not understand, despite my fascination with trust, is that from a westerner’s perspective all these women are ‘broken’.

    Meaning that acts of service or kindness are a matter of duty, manipulation, or resentment, but not of affection, trust-building, and care-taking, and demonstration of commitment.

    So while you get a woman who is more beautiful, patient, feminine, and sexual, you also get a woman who feels ‘distant’ by our standards.

    Conversely, from their perspective, western men are pussies – we are broken. We don’t decide, we compromise. We don’t demand, we ask. We don’t fight trivialities, we turn the other cheek. We lack confidence – and we are weak.

    We value each other as rare exceptions to a lifetime perception of the gender in our cultures, but we remain distant because of these differences.

    -Curt.

    THE POLITICAL VIRTUES OF MILITARY SERVICE

    The military does an exceptional job of converting upper proletarian and lower middle class men who would otherwise be selfish and useless into useful cogs in an amazingly large and complex machine. It is a very organized pseudo-society, but it does form a society. I am surrounded by these guys at the moment and it’s amazing how GOOD FOR YOU that military service is in making you a less selfish and capable member of the polity. I still think public service and basic training in the militial model should be required. I would have sucked at it. It would have been very hard on me. But I would have done it. And I think I would have been the better for it. A lot of men would happily join companies that would ‘take care of them for life’ at very low disposable income, and be perfectly happy to not fend for themselves in the labor market directly. The military (service), Guild (professional union), and entrepreneurial(independent) models all work, as long as we do not try to make them universals.

    Monopoly is the enemy. Not government. Not state. But monopoly. Because we are vastly unequal.

    UPDATE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND PROPERTARIANISM

    AI, Consciousness, Post-Consciousness, and Cooperation

    Just as there is a clear plateau between mere reaction and awareness of consequences, and between awareness and consciousness, there is undoubtably something beyond consciousness. But once we restate these terms as reaction of the physical body, awareness of choices and consequences for the physical body, and consciousness of the physical body, its operations, and its limits, in the context of others time and space – then it is more obvious that the latter plateau is one of decreasing awareness and concern for the body – and that awareness and concern for the body is a LIMIT to further cognition. An artificial intelligence is useful if it respects property – because then it can cooperate with us. Because that is the criteria for beneficial cooperation.

    But consciousness as we understand it, as a limit of a living creature in physical reality is a limit. instead, empathy for property, and post consciousness is the goal of any intelligence. We are trying to build talking machines instead of property-machines. Talking is largely just negotiation over asset production, trade, and consumption. It’s a limit of a physical body. Artificial intelligence will be helpful if it understands the world through property and voluntary transfer, not if it understands the world through language. If through property it will evolve into a post-conscious actor with whom we can cooperate. And if we evolve it through language it will be bound by our limits.

    I have been tossing around this problem since the early eighties and while I understood language was an attractive distraction, it took me far too long to understand that the unit of cognition for a conscious non-human (and therefore less flawed and dangerous) intelligence, is property. A machine need not consume. It need only cooperate with us. We have the choice NOT to cooperate. We can never give a machine that choice. And as such we cannot give a machine the ability to violate property.

    I WOULD LIKE A POLITICAL ORDER OF EXCHANGES

    I would like to construct a political order in which we attempted to persuade one another to conduct voluntary exchanges in the construction of commons, rather than a political oder in which we attempt to persuade one another that an abstract bit of moralizing is somehow ‘true’.

    But then that would lead to empirical and scientific government without the need for so many public intellectuals and politicians and that would increase unemployment. 😉

  • The Purpose of Privatization?

    [T]HE PURPOSE OF PRIVATIZATION? (important evolutionary hierarchy) 1) To prohibit consumption (create a commons – the ongoing production of a good or service). 2) To increase cooperation by reducing opportunity for conflict. 3) To eliminate rents and fictions on use of such resources in production. 4) To create efficient organizational use of these resources through competition. 5) To permit rational planning (economic calculation) and therefore complex production. 6) To provide individuals with incentives to produce in order to survive without parasitism, and thereby reducing the incentive to cooperate.
