  • SHIFTS WITH (A) INTELLIGENCE, AND (B) WEALTH Contrary to Pinker’s “Better Angels

    Contrary to Pinker’s “Better Angels of Our Nature”, all that occurs as we either gain intelligence or gain income, is that we** shift the means of predation** upon others up the chain of complexity and indirection.

    Here is a simple series of the means by which we commonly increase the complexity of parasitism and predation upon one another:

    Murder -> Violence -> Theft -> Fraud -> Fraud by Hazard Creation -> Free Riding -> Privatization of Commons, Socialization of Losses -> Fraud, Hazard and Privatization through Financialization -> Fraud, Hazard and Privatization through Proceduralization -> Fraud, hazard, and Privatization by Damage to the Informational Commons (“propaganda, advertising, public intellectual pseudoscience”) -> Material Conspiracy -> Political Rent Seeking -> Political Corruption -> Coup or Conquest.

    So yes. And some well known groups specialize in persuasive but hazard producing pseudoscience, pseudorationalism, and propaganda. Particularly by utilizing the frailty of the law to ally with the government against the people.

    via Brandon Hayes

    —“It’s not that Keynesian economics is unscientific it’s that it’s immoral. It’s not so much that German Rationalism and Jewish Cosmopolitan rationalism are not simply a backwards-expression of intuitionism and operationalism under empiricism, despite it’s inability to produce insights and only explain them. It’s instead, that the rationalist position is an attempt to intellectually outlaw investigation into emergent economic phenomenon – which is the purpose of scientific investigation, just as much as experimental psychology is the discipline that investigates first principles – and which has discovered the reason for our long list of cognitive biases that produce non-rational actions not anticipated by the classical model.” – Curt Doolittle

  • “BOOK” ENDING THE JEWISH AUSTRIAN (MISESIAN-ROTHBARDIAN) PSEUDOSCIENCE This ‘art

    https://propertarianism.com/2018/05/01/economic-intuitionism-or-scientific-praxeology/THE “BOOK” ENDING THE JEWISH AUSTRIAN (MISESIAN-ROTHBARDIAN) PSEUDOSCIENCE

    This ‘article’ is 21K words, or approximately an 80 page book, on ‘Correcting’ the Misesian (Jewish) wing, of the ‘Austrian'(Mengerian) school. It ‘corrects’ Mises, Rothbard, and Hoppe – and indirectly explains Hayek.

    I’ve put it into book form but i can’t afford to edit it and release it because my other projects take precedence.

    There are a total of 200 pages or so in the book, which includes ideas from other posts on my site. However, for the truly interested party, the entire argument is in that shorter version.

    Um, in simple terms, Just as Marxism, Libertarianism, Neoconservatism, Feminism, and Postmodernism (as well as the abrahamic religions) are elaborate sophisms, Misesian Economics consist of a single valuable insight (operationalism), made useless by a sea of sophisms.

    I’m aware that probably only Hoppe can debate me at this level, but someone with MA or PhD in the philosophy of science should be able to keep up. If you are deeply enough involved in libertarian theory it may help you quite a bit transition.

    But remember that the reason you are susceptible to rothbardianism is that you are suggestible. There are very few of us who are not suggestible (meaning we have very high agency.)

  • Its Not that I Don’t Understand These Needs.

    I’ve addressed why some people need drugs, alcohol, the new age, occult, religion, the fictionalisms, and why others do not. Its not that I don’t understand these needs. i understand why most women lack agency, and some men lack agency, an how these physical and emotional devices provide self medication for that lack of agency, under socialization, or low sexual, social, and economic market value. its just that they are irrelevant to decidability under law, just as they are to any other science.

    Society has replaced real violence with faux violence. We are a horrific point in time where many believe words are weapons. Wise up; otherwise the truth will return as a sword to cut through more than just the lies.
