(FB 1545534356 Timestamp) –“Yes please but when is the book coming!?”— Vladyslav Romanyuk IMO: just the constitution is probably the most practical. classes will be easier than the book. book still feels extremely difficult to me as i edit it. constitution widest reach. classes easiest to really learn it. online material using the outline, videos, selected posts, reading list, a bit less easy, but certainly accessible. book very technical and thorough, and pretty hard in my opinion. no way around it. going to need all of those methods. core is epistemology/grammars/operational language, defeating fictionalisms. everything built on it. but total scope and application is huge. ) i mean what bill keeps saying is that general knowledge is required. in that sense you sort of need the classes. i mean we are teaching western civ…. all of it … in scientific language. we are teaching the school and college education people did not receive. its big. its a degree in the science of civilization

You are in effect preaching to the converted.”—Steven Vandervelde (Criticizing John Mark and Propertarianism) We have been gaining more traction every year as the overton window moves closer to us. And enduring that same criticism all the while. Meanwhile we have produced a stream of people capable of practicing the discipline, in about the same time and effort required to get each level of university degree. We convert people daily. just ask them. John is the best at reaching larger numbers in a manner that they are comfortable with. This is neither my skill or ambition. We have planned on the emergence of talent as we evolve. it’s happening. It is a non trivial subject, as revolutionary in social science as as darwinism, larger than marxism/postmodernism, and cannot be understood any easier. While we can reduce marxism to class conflict and universal monopoly communism and reduce propertarianism to genetic conflict, conflict of civilizations, and universal market nationalism – polar opposites – that does not explain the vast difference between the underlying science and logic and method of propertarianism vs the lies, sophisms, and deceits, and denial, of marxism, postmodernism, feminism, and the abrahamic means of argumentative deceit.

For Newbies: My Workflow
FOR NEWBIES: WORKFLOW (worth repeating) (FB 1546005070 Timestamp) The way I work is by relating ideas across the spectrum in a series of shorter arguments – because I ‘whittle away’ at the stone so to speak, turning it to view it from different angles, working to gradually expose the figure (truth) below. I try to produce operational definitions in series, and to describe behavior as supply and demand using those series of definitions. Then I attempt to turn the fundamental insight into one or more aphorisms (summaries). Then to create a narrative that explains the topic and its applications. Then to weave these narratives together using the same constant language – this editing is what exhausts me and is why it takes me so long to produce a work. WORKFLOW I work from an outline of the complete scope of human thought. I work through the outline from metaphysics to group competitive strategy. Then I work with (many) sketches on FB. I move most of them to the web site. Then I collect the best of them into what I call ‘short courses’ or collections of posts. Then I take those ‘short courses’ and put them into the book. Then edit it all into an explanation. That’s my workflow. It’s actually painfully methodical. It just doesn’t look like it to the casual observer, because most people are desirous of rushing to judgment whereas i tend to exhaust a topic completely (very) before adding it to the canon. Then refine the network of concepts added to the canon once there. cheers.

(FB 1546099023 Timestamp) Listening to John Mark last night and realizing how thoroughly he understands the material and how quickly he can respond to questions. There are a lot of you who can do that now. Next year there will be many more. And we have our movement.

(FB 1546050047 Timestamp) COURSE PREREQUISITES? –“When you do get the coursework set up on the website, will there be prerequisites needed for the economics courses? I have a background in economics and mathematics but it’s been a few years since I’ve utilized things like Calculus regularly. Will there be a quantitative aspect to the program or will it be primarily philosophical / literature based?”— A friend via twitter The pre-requisite for Economics is just the application and intro to propertarianism. We are not trying to teach statistical analysis (correlation) only operationalism (causation) – not prediction but explanation. So math will be very limited and mostly what we will do is focus on the economics of human behavior. If you have read becker et al, and have read my posts on operationalism/mises, and the different economic schools it should be easy.
