    HOW WILL THE CURRENT ERA BE REMEMBERED?

    I am almost positive that the current era will be interpreted as a century long failed experiment, and that cognitive scientists and legal philosophers and anthropologists will obtain the credit for repairing it.

    Not that Austrians are wrong, but that their program was incomplete, cut off by the wars, and the need for reconstruction.

    And that Mises fundamental insight was misunderstood – not only by others but himself: moral criticism.

    Hayek was likely right in that the twentieth century will be considered an era of mysticism in the future. Mysticism meaning ‘pseudoscience’ today, for having relied upon aggregates alone rather than testing them with actions.

    But explaining why this is true is difficult.

    What we have been exploring is not so much economics but the addition of credit to the inventory of weapons of influence that can be used to govern a people.

    I am almost certain now that this is correct.

    THE DWINDLING CONFIDENCE OF ECONOMISTS.

    I read pretty much everything on economics every day that has anything to do with political economy. Or conversely I don’t care about banking and finance.

    I wish I had the data to support the memory.

    But through about 2010 economists were full of confidence and prediction in all manner of things.

    But since then the shift has continued away from both speculation and confidence.

    Now the next boom will increase demand for their opinions. And economists will return to the monetary equivalent of fantasy football once again. And with the predictability of growth again portray confidence that exacerbates the cycle.

    I guess the bright side is that for now they do less damage.

    On libertarian perma-bears.

    This is another instance of social discontent. A reaction to rejection.

    I am an advocate of the Austrian business cycle and the accumulated fragility and damage from misallocation of all forms of capital in order to construct artificial consumption through artificial employment.This is a logical necessity. And is finally empirically obvious.

    But bearism is merely a signal that one is rejecting the current order. And little else.

    Contrarianism is an excellent strategy but one must ask why one evolved into a contrarian.

    Our problem is not fiat money.

    Our problem is not classical liberal democracy.

    Our problem has been our error:

    1) Our women. The introduction of women as equals despite their parasitic reproductive strategy;

    2) The great pseudoscientific lies of the cosmopolitans marketed to women and ‘slaves’ (underclasses).

    3) And the profiteering by the academy, media, state complex, from the sale and distribution of those lies.

    Now that we know how to constrain them, we have another question to answer so that no future generation attempts the same by another innovation just as devious.

    How shall we punish them?

    A punishment must last for generations in order to be remembered.

  • REMOVING REVOLUTIONARY UNCERTAINTY If your political solution provides an improv

    REMOVING REVOLUTIONARY UNCERTAINTY

    If your political solution provides an improvement at least for a passionate minority you will eventually win.

    If your political solution is sufficiently tangible to be discussed and criticized, as well as procedurally implemented, then time and effort necessary to win are reduced significantly.

    If your political solution solves a know source of conflict in society then it will take even less time and effort to win.

    The purpose of revolution is merely to raise the cost of the status quo such that the transaction cost of switching from the current set of rents to the new solution is preferable to retaining the current rents at the expense of it.

    The enemy of improvement is the predatory state.

    No moral man can object to Propertarianism’s market for commons and demand for testimonial truth in all matters of the commons.

    Those who object to such things are defacto- objectively immoral.

    That does not stop mystics, rationalists, obscurantists, pseudoscientists, and outright propagandist liars from trying to preserve their parasitism and deceit.

    But it removes moral restraint from those of us who wish to restore the world to civilization from cosmopolitan pseudoscientific barbarism.

    UNFORTUNATELY THE “STATE” CANNOT COMPREHEND 4GW.

    And we are in a fourth generation war against islam.

    The Church could not really recognize science.

    The Monarchies could not really recognize democracy.

    The States cannot really recognize islamism.

    This is war. Huntington was right.
