  • did I tell you three years ago? The clock is ticking on Oracle, the bell already

    http://www.businessinsider.com/boxnet-2011-9What did I tell you three years ago? The clock is ticking on Oracle, the bell already rang on Sun. And the local hero is in trouble because of innovator’s dilemmas. Why? Technology tools are being invented as a byproduct of other revenue streams, not in and of themselves. There is no capital in tools.

    Goes to my dictum: “For any existing company, any sufficiently competitive innovation cannot be expressed in financial reports.” This optimization of the PAST is what leads to innovator’s dilemmas. The “Financialization” of any business is must of necessity cause it’s future destruction.

    Worse, the softly-typed programming languages have won. Anyone who doesn’t understand that will not be in the tools business in ten years.

    Do I need to say that again?

    http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/09/22/michael_moore_threatens_the_rich_lets_deal_with_it_nonviolently_now.html#.TnyZi-cKTyA.facebookMoore is propagating The Myth Of The General Strike, and the Myth of the Revolution. He puts this silly threat out there, that violence will come from the proletariat, when in fact, history shows quite clearly that it is very easy for the wealthy to conquer and oppress the proletariat. In fact, it’s pretty much the way government is done. The only times that the proletariat has succeeded have been when it’s been led by the upper middle class. So, while I think Moore is disgusting – as a human being he’s disgusting -but aside from that emotional response, he’s also just plain wrong.

    A blog reader wrote yesterday telling me to ‘lighten up’. And I’d like to. I would. But we’re in this mess partly because Hayek was a softie. Friedman, Rothbard and Hoppe not so much – Friedman fought tooth and nail. If you’re in the intellectual arena for entertainment I understand that. But I’m in this for our civilization. It’s a matter of life and death. It’s not entertainment.

  • life is about choices. And the majority – not all, but a majority – of Americans

    http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/09/14/geithner_were_in_an_early_stage_of_a_crisis.html#.TnDY_UZ32dA.facebookYes life is about choices. And the majority – not all, but a majority – of Americans are dissatisfied with their government’s treatment of them, and are willing to endure hardship to punish it. It isn’t that complicated. The definition of irrational is doing something that doesn’t get you what you want. Doing something painful that gets people what they want, is purely rational. Humans do what they don’t like every day in a multitude of ways in order to get what they prefer.

    “The USA is Pre Revolutionary” : Well, I agree with the Rasmussen poll. And of course, some of us have been stating this state of affairs would be the deterministic result of 20th century absurdities. And a very small number of us have been working on possible solutions. Some solutions are ideological. Others are technical and procedural. But only the technical are viable.
