    IT TAKES TWO YEARS

    by John Mark

    —“It’s laughable that somebody thinks they can just roll up, watch my vid & maybe read a few posts on the website, watch an interview or 2 with Curt, and then dive into a critique. This is why most of these “critiques” make elementary errors & strawman/misrepresent. They don’t really understand what they’re critiquing. … Heck, I followed Curt for close to 2yrs, reading daily, before opening my mouth. And I’m still hyper-aware of trying to make sure I don’t say something incorrect & still learn new things & angles of understanding frequently.

    …. When they’re getting property-in-toto wrong you know they haven’t spent much time.”—

    WE PLAN ON CONTINUOUSLY ROLLING COURSES – AT LEAST THE CORE ONES….

    —“Hi Curt, I’ve taken a look at the website and am very keen on the courses available. Propertarianism is essential. Unfortunately I am way too busy with the final year of my degree and British politics at the moment. Will the opportunity to join classes roll over continuously, or is there a set window? Thanks”—, Reece

    Oh yes. Of course. It’s continuous as long as we hae someone willing to run the course, answer questions, and grade assignments.

    Courses need a minimum number of students in order for the instructor to have it worth his time, and students need each other to dialog with.

    We start this coming week on the law (provided I don’t have any crisis that delays me a day or two… lol )

    PROPERTARIAN STORE STUFF AND COURSES

    —“Hey Curt; Any [stickers, patches, flags, banners, clothing] by chance? “—Devon Chamberlain (and 100 others)

    *WE ARE IN STARTUP MODE*

    John was waaaay more successful than we thought and demand is outpacing our abilities – and while I started putting the institute site together in December, we are still in startup mode, and we are going to be for six months or more.

    At present we just have the web site, and one class ready, one in production, on in research, and three in draft phase. So you know, it’s going to take us a year at least to fill out the courses.

    And the ‘marketing stuff’ requires I devote time to researching, getting the stuff produced, finding a fulfillment house, etc…

    So you know… I”m kinda in that place where I said I wouldn’t put myself again, which is extremely overloaded. So I’m just going to take my time and get things done as they can get done.

    It takes years to get accreditation. It takes years to build up curriculum. It takes years to find and test out instructors. So I’m playing the long game here, because otherwise I can’t do it. Too much.

    Nah. Let it go. Not really worth it. Small audience. Moron. Hit piece. I’ll stick with the mainstream grownups. The institute is brand new we will take a year to build up the courses. Only courses that are possible to purchase are those we have ready. 😉

    Not only did I read the bible myself, but I went to catechism every saturday, church every sunday, it was required reading in 7th grade, we had it in comparative religion in 12th grade, and I read it multiple times as an adult. The difference is that I thought it was ridiculous.

    (Gary is shaming me a bit – rightfully)

    There is no single-author program on this scale other than aristotle’s. While many authors have come to the same conclusions, only Hume, Kant, Hegel, Marx, and Heidegger attempted it with any degree of success. And it is this difference between the multi-author programs of the anglo world and the single author programs of the continental world that explain the difference between anglo scientific (specialization/market) and continental literary (synthesis/monopoly).

    IF WE WERE NOT BEING INVADED by design to destroy our people via the kalergi plan they way other people have been destroyed by the semites, then I would be able to whittle away at these books like Hayek and put them out when ready. But the demographic pressure is forcing me to go against my intuition and nature. So it is what it is.Alba RisingWhy make it readable for normies? Let it be as concise and truthful as possible. Like a work of science. It’s up to everyone else (i.e. us) to help it permeate wider culture.Feb 17, 2019, 10:58 AMCurt DoolittleYOu talk as if that isn’t the hard part/Feb 17, 2019, 10:59 AMAlba RisingWe’re up to it!Feb 17, 2019, 11:00 AMPhilip SaundersWrite a doorstopper like The Wealth of Nations or Being and Time. A great mountain attracts the best climbers. Don’t water down the impact by spreading it over multiple small books of posts. You need to make a single blockbuster for maximum impact.Feb 17, 2019, 11:03 AMMartin ŠtěpánI really hope it’s not like Hegel. I’m just about to finish Phenomenology of Spirit and, well, I don’t get it.Feb 17, 2019, 11:07 AMCurt DoolittleIt’s like reading a novel and seeing the allegory except the novel is about psychology.Feb 17, 2019, 11:09 AMCurt DoolittleMost men write a series of books. Being in Time is only 589pp altogether. My first draft was almost three times that – which makes it impossible to edit, print, distribute, and sell.Feb 17, 2019, 11:10 AMMartin ŠtěpánI should have probably looked into the definitions being used because to me, it’s reading word salad.Feb 17, 2019, 11:11 AMCurt Doolittle(it’s just ‘silly german prose’ which is better than ‘silly bullshit french prose’)Feb 17, 2019, 11:11 AMCurt DoolittleThe books are clearly my voice and style. The difference is that I go through and ‘cut down’ the repetition, make the terms consistent, and fill in the ‘leaps of reason’, and try to organize as layers of an onion. I can do it but I get very tired after just a few hours of it.Feb 17, 2019, 11:12 AMPhilip SaundersWell if that’s the case fair enough. I just mean don’t piddle out with a 114 page Kindle download like many people seem to do these days.Feb 17, 2019, 11:13 AMCurt DoolittleThe courses are an attempt to cut the book so that I don’t have to provide background on every fucking thing, just write declaratively.Feb 17, 2019, 11:13 AMCurt Doolittleum… no. I can write 114 pages in a couple of days without much effort. At this point about ten to twenty pages a day (not close to rothbard’s 25). The problem is that my work evolved over time and I have to make it consistent and remove things I repeat often. So it’s just basically ‘editing’.Feb 17, 2019, 11:14 AMYiannis KontinopoulosWhy attempt to cut down the repetition?

    If not you – who?

    Finish the courses and then tackle citations.

    It might not be you who completes the academic project.

    You might just be a footnote in Propertarianism.

    —“…a book”—

    Lame nonsense

    That’s like saying you need encyclopedia britannica instead of wikipedia. P consists of topics just like an encyclopedia. Instead of being in alpha order it’s in dependency order from metaphysics (the grammars) thru group strategy.

    THE SUMMARY (OVERVIEW)

    https://propertarianism.com/basic-concepts/

    – The Overview (argument)

    – The Topic by Topic “Short Courses”

    – The categorical index for topics in the sidebar.

    – The search engine for exploration.

    – The reading list as a bibliography.

    – The glossary of terms.

    There is no “P for Dummies” nor is one possible.

    So consider the current content an IQ test.

    If you can’t, then you can’t, so it won’t matter. 😉

    The problem with the book is that it is still two books the first of which is over 800pp.

    So I will publish the tome when it is ready. But if you can’t pass the P IQ test with the existing material – the book isn’t gonna help you.

    FRIENDS AND FOLLOWERS: PERSISTENCE OF VISION

    Do not underestimate the power of education, repetition, and persistence in the slow conversion of those who are initially reject that which is a change to the status quo.

    People need to ‘own’ their understanding by coming to conclusions on their own. They cannot be convinced in one sitting. Plant seeds. Educate. Eventually they will understand whether they seek the left’s dysgenia and decline and genocide against our people and conquest of our civilization, or the right’s eugenia and ascent and survival of their genocide against our people and conquest of our civilization.

    Great innovations in thought – even an innovation that only involves writing down our ‘bible’ of the “White Law” so that we can articulate what we have practiced for thousands of years, take time – time for seeds of revolution in thought, in word, in deed, and in revolution to take place.
