    OK, how much truth is there to his anti-russian propaganda?

    I think americans can’t imagine the size of russia, how spread out people are, and that there are still x% of the people living in ‘villages’. I mean, we got roads only in the late 50s but before then there was ‘wild america’ all over the place. There still is ‘wild canada’. But these numbers don’t sound right to me.

It’s a lovely quality you have. Given that you’re likely to be far more productive not spending your hours answering daft questions on Facebook, do you choose to be accessible or do you just find it very difficult not to answer people’s questions? (This is one of those daft question, btw 😉 )Jan 18, 2019, 11:53 AMRob RandallAnd that was an excellent response Curt. Aspies of the world unite, lol!Jan 18, 2019, 12:02 PMCurt DoolittleI figure policing this stuff is a cost, just like auditing the feed. It’s the cost of doing this in public and the value I get from it, because I don’t have a few classrooms full of grad students to experiment on. lol

    Unless I’m working on something very difficult, I work in say 50 minute increments, with 20-30 minute breaks, and I do it all day long. When it’s difficult I disappear for hours and then come back. These ‘breaks’ are fun, keep me fresh, satisfy the extrovert, and let me go back to work.

    Also, it provides levity.Jan 18, 2019, 12:07 PMCurt DoolittleOh, I don’t take it seriously. Just another young butthurt ancap.

    It’s obvious when people lead with a bunch of empty shit talking (not to be confused with shit talking backed up by arguments)

    The ancaps and libertarians are not happy to have their moral high-ground destroyed lolJan 18, 2019, 12:19 PMJames GregoryI’d say Block could give you a run for your money on the accessibility front (at the very least with how much he WANTS to be accessible), he’s just a complete boomer when it comes to tech so you can only reach him via email.

    But the idea that it’s somehow hard to get hold of you is ridiculous.Jan 18, 2019, 12:22 PMMikal DukmakPlease keep the intolerance high, I enjoy the clean atmosphereJan 18, 2019, 1:52 PMSolomon VolodymyrCurt What do you do in your breaks?Jan 18, 2019, 2:02 PMFlavio DuminucoEpic, don’t mess with CurtJan 18, 2019, 2:22 PMSteven J. WoronHere ya go. Just change the copy as neededJan 18, 2019, 2:31 PMCurt DoolittleUm. I know walter personally and fairly well. I do not want to debate him because I would win and it would make neither of us look good in the process. I will debate him. And we have come close once. But I would not want to go thru the ghetto ethics and all that other stuff with him. Mostly because aside from being rather misguided he is a decent person.Jan 18, 2019, 2:53 PMJames GregoryI was responding to the “most accessible public intellectual” comment you made, saying that he also makes a significant effort in trying to communicate with people who have questions (just as you do). The two of you are probably the best examples of this on the right.

    I know you could smash him in a debate. That’s not what I was talking about. Lovely fellow (met him at a Mises U), would love to have a drink with the guy, but whether you could debate him isn’t even a question I’d bother bringing up anymore.Jan 18, 2019, 3:04 PMRandall PostblockPlease enjoy tearing apart the ancaps on my page. They drive me crazy. Sometimes I can’t believe I’ve managed to stay friends with these guys for nearly three years. We never have agreed on much because I was already alt-libertarian when I met them. I never had an ancap phaseJan 18, 2019, 3:07 PMRandall PostblockI’m Randall Scott Wolfe/Randall Danger by the way. Banned on those accounts. I love what you do and interacting with you. Thanks for being awesome!Jan 18, 2019, 3:08 PMChris MoyerI see hierarchies of markets everywhere now. These people just deflect because of their inability to compete at the higher echelons…creating an excuse that would undermine the legitimacy of the hierarchy in the first place.

I see it as teaching opportunities of the audiences, not individuals choosing to engage. But while I preach I, myself, don’t always practice — I understand how futile it is sometimes to use some boneheads even as teaching aides and props.Jan 18, 2019, 4:44 PMJames GregoryNicholas Palmer Castle what page? I could use the target practice..Jan 18, 2019, 5:15 PMRandall PostblockMy personal fbJan 18, 2019, 5:15 PMDominic DeLucaThis makes perfect sense. If you tolerated these people, the serious people would have to absorb the cost of your tolerance in the form of reduced accessibility and reduced quality of the discussion. You could say that people who come here for no other reason than to argue like an asshole are engaging in a type of parasitism.Jan 18, 2019, 7:36 PMCurt DoolittleWhat do I do on breaks? Shit talk morons, audit the feeds email, etc, answer questions, riff off comments, read the day’s news, review the day’s ssrn papers and blogs, make coffee/sparkling water/food, run to the shops, visit doctors, make calls, work on a piece of tech, take out the trash, chat with the neighbors, make sure my mother hasn’t fallen, run out of oxygen or gone off the deep end, feel guilty about whatever it is I didn’t get done, talk to family, miss friends, download some b-movie to watch at night – the normal life crap that everyone else does. Dunno why I should be much different from everyone else – other than I take naps most afternoons.Jan 18, 2019, 8:20 PMOdin WehrmanHey I know that guy!Jan 18, 2019, 9:03 PMRandall PostblockHave you seen the thread Doolittle is talking about yet?

    Yes, it is more work to speak truthfully. It is more work to produce that engage in theft, and more work to engage in theft than parasitism.

    With every increase in the incremental suppression of parasitism by ‘means I can get away with because the exchange is voluntary’ those people who create parasitism object.

    When you disagree with me all you are saying is that you want to preserve your means of parasitism, or your means of exporting costs to the commons, just like any other thief or fraud.

  • IN DEFENSE OF THE DEMAND FOR DUE DILIGENCE IN PUBLIC SPEECH, AND THE PUNISHMENT

    IN DEFENSE OF THE DEMAND FOR DUE DILIGENCE IN PUBLIC SPEECH, AND THE PUNISHMENT OF FALSE SPEECH.

    by John Mark

    (must read) (central argument)

    1 – It is too difficult to teach Bullsh-t detection to masses of people with heavy biases and an avg IQ of 85-105 (depending on the nation). Half or more of the population (below 105-106) cannot tell what is true or not even if they try. The solution is not teaching; it won’t work. The solution is punishment. (Law)

    2 – Allowing lying allows left-instinct people to rally using lies and false promises. It’s a Dangerous thing to allow. Too dangerous.

    3 – Most people will have to refrain from making public pronouncements about matters which they have not done due diligence. This would be *wonderful*.

    4 – You only have the “rights” you & your friends can defend. If someone wants to defend their “right” to be wrong, they are fighting in favor of lies against truth. (I will not be joining that team.)

    5 – “More free speech” has failed. Because lying is faster, cheaper, easier than telling the truth. There is a world of difference between what the Left does (arbitrary, enforcing lies) & what we propose (scientific, enforcing truth). “The way most people want to live”…the left wants to pretend lies are true; the Right benefits from truth and wants the *results* of truth. The Right is better served by enforcing truth (punishing lies) than by allowing lies or “free speech” (aka lies winning).

    6 – There would be more court cases for a while and then as people figure out what the consequences of their actions will be, the # of cases will drop significantly.

    – John Mark

    The customer is still looking for a cure but the snake oil salesman doesn’t deliver the cure but a hope of one.

    I stand by thisJan 14, 2019, 12:47 PMCurt DoolittletrueJan 14, 2019, 12:47 PMCurt Doolittleheroin dealer offers heroin.Jan 14, 2019, 12:47 PMLisa OuthwaiteSome pretty broad strokes being applied here. I’m assuming you don’t mean that there are no universal truths embedded within religion?Jan 14, 2019, 1:15 PMLisa OuthwaiteWho doesn’t love a double negative? 🤪Jan 14, 2019, 1:16 PMSteven JacksonCurt Doolittle rat experiments show that drug addiction correlates with social ostracism.

    The hormones stimulated by social acceptance can also be stimulated through the use of narcotics.

    Marx was literally correct when he described religion as being the opiate of the masses.

    The difference between the drug peddler and the priest is that the unifying narrative of religion can be put to use to build trust and social cohesion. The priest builds social capital by writing a common hymn book so everyone sings the same song.

    The drug dealer creates a demand for drugs and nothing else. He preys on low trust societies with low social cohesion and makes it worse, he is a parasite because he drains the society of social capital.

    Religion falls apart when it’s lies are exposed, but many are willing to overlook the lies because of the benefit provided by living among those singing off the same sheet.Jan 14, 2019, 1:17 PMNick HeywoodNo! It ain’t!

    Religion is observed, but un-scientifically explained, framework of behavioral decidability.

    And usually reduces to group evolutionary reciprocity strategy.

    “If you want to be a member of this group”?… “you’ll behave thus” “and decide crap according to these rules”!

    “We know these principles, that govern limits, of behaviour and decisions work”! “We’ve seen ‘them’ work” “and our ancestors were successful because they adhered to them”.

    Another question becomes… “what’s the goal, aim, proposed outcome”? That’s a different question, though. 🙂

    Nothing at all wrong with religion. It’s natural!

    As long as ya don’t wanna colonise the universe or f around with capital development, resource distribution, engineering, biology, chemistry, maths, physics’n’quantum shit etc.😁

    Once you’ve developed that capability?

    Religion’s no good to ya! You’ll just hurt ya’self and melt shit. 🙂Jan 14, 2019, 1:44 PMNick HeywoodUtility for the hierarchy! 🙂😉😎Jan 14, 2019, 2:00 PMSteven JacksonNick Heywood religion has always been a factor in every advanced society. The industrial revolution occurred under puritanical Protestantism and Presbyterianism. The medieval Christian monks preserved literature and science (albeit after destroying it in the early years of Christianity.) The Greek philosophers flourished under their pagan ancestor worship etc etc.

    When we have dispensed with religion (a unifying narrative) we have ended up with relativism and pseudoscience. The USSR is a prime example of this, the communist narrative was destructive and couldn’t capture a second generation. The initial cohesion, gained through genocide, produced the space race and Kalashnikov. A generation later it produced only civil war, Mafia and rusting public utilities.

    Similar forces destroyed the narrative in the west and we have trannys and feminism.

    Religion as a means of social cohesion seems to be necessary, as knowledge has progressed, religion has evolved. We just need to evolve it to agree with what we now understand to be true. The modernists threw the baby out with the bath water when they misunderstood “God is dead”Jan 14, 2019, 2:27 PMSteven J.
