  • Islam vs Protestant (Germanicized) Christianity

    [I]slam is a more aggressive evolutionary strategy. In that sense it is a superior competitive strategy. That does not mean it produces a superior mankind. It mereley means it is more competitive.

    1) hatred is proscribed / hatred is prohibited
    2) punishment is prescribed / punishment is prohibited
    3) lies are permissible / lies are not permissible
    4) dual ethics / universal ethics
    5) respect a given / respect earned by actions.
    6) knowledge is fixed / knowledge evolves
    7) intolerance is required / intolerance is prohibited
    8) inbreeding is promoted / inbreeding is prohibited
    9) produces low trust societies / produces high trust societies
    10) produces ignorance and poverty / produces knowledge and prosperity.
    (….this list goes on forever)

    But, I don’t think of it as most folks do because I don’t rely on introspection. 

    I just look at the epistemic properties of each body of thought and I Compare their abilities to produce a high trust society and it’s corresponding innovation and wealth.

    SLAVERY OR RIGHTS OF ASSOCIATION

    1 – Right of Entrance / Exit.

    2 – Right of Association / Disassociation.

    3 – Right of Trade / Boycott

    If you cannot exit, determine, association and disassociation, choose whom to trade and whom to boycott, then you are a slave. Period.

    FEAR OF OUTSIDERS: AGAINST PSYCHOLOGISM

    1) Fear of outsiders is not ‘a thing’ but a universal human reaction. Or at least it is outside of northern europeans. It is not an irrational fear. It is a rational fear. That is why humans bear the intuition. It is an instance of the disgust response.

    2) The Fear of Catholics and Jews was warranted. Any student of intellectual and legal history will have trouble arguing otherwise. Prohibition was an example of the reaction to catholic immigration. Jews have had an equally negative effect in a number of areas. YOu can say in both cases that we have endured those negatives. But it is very hard to say that between the catholics and jews that rule of law persists. (you may not like it, but it is what it is.)

    3) High trust society resists lower trust cultures. And we pay the price for integrating lower trust cultures with traditional families into high trust culture with absolute nuclear families. It is what it is. Trust decreases, civic participation decreases, economic velocity decreases. (and yes that’s the case, although it’s very contentious, I am pretty sure I can hold that argument against any economist living).

    So it is a rational instinct (we evolved it for a reason) a rational fear (empirically the consequences have been catastrophic since 1963). And we require both empirical and operational means of testing such statements to the contrary. (Human perception being one of frog-boiling intertemporal incompetence.)

  • The First Principles of Propertarian Ethics

    [M]an.

    1 – Man must acquire resources.
    2 – Man must act to acquire resources.
    3 – Man must act cooperatively to disproportionately improve acquisition of resources.
    4 – Man must act to preserve and extend cooperation to preserve the disproportionate rewards of acquisition through cooperation.
    5 – Man acts to preserve and extend cooperation by the suppression of parasitism that creates the disincentive to cooperate, and therefore decreases the disproportionate rewards of acquisition through cooperation.
    6 – Man conducts parasitism by violence, theft, fraud, fraud by obscurantism, fraud by moralizing,  fraud by omission, externality, free riding, privatization of commons, socialization of losses, conspiracy, conversion, immigration, conquest, war and genocide.
    7 – Man suppresses parasitism by threats of interpersonal violence, promises of interpersonal violence, interpersonal violence, interpersonal ostracization from cooperation, organized ostracization via norms and commerce, when he must by remuneration, and when he can by organized violence in law and war.

  • Inequality is a Good

    [I]nequality is a good. In evolves man. Invention is a good. In increases our ability to consume. If we were all equal, we would have nothing to trade. And we would be poor. As are extant people who are in practice equal. To create an economy to sustain man we must create equality constantly. To create humans that evolve man, we must create equality constantly. Equality = stasis = extinction.
