    Debate on the internet is at best street fighting. But that’s what makes it unbound by the ‘Queensbury Rules’ of the academy, and the ‘Priestly Rituals’ of the publication process.

    Too many newbs that haven’t been following long enough nor read enough on propertarianism dot com, too many opinions rather than arguments, too much DK-Conflidence, and too many trolls. Good time to just write, and let the talent do the ‘educating’.

  • Dunning Kruger: Revolutionary Ignorance

      As in all things: men overestimate their knowledge and ability prior to performing sufficient research in the specialty such that they are not engaging in dunning kruger overestimation of their abilities. I have no idea why men think they know such things from personal experience, or the mainstream narrative. Economics are simple. Generals are simple. Destroy what people dpend upon for predictabiliyt and chaos is the only possible result. My job, and the job of others, over the next year, is to help men envision what winning a civil war will look like in the current era. And it will NOT look like those revolutions of the Westphalian era. We have ended Westphalian constraints, and we’ve ended the era of millions in the streets, and we’ve ended the enlightenment experiment in an aristocracy of everyone. No one is going to put your pants on for you. You either fight or you talk, or you cower, or you’re the enemy. May 29, 2018 10:51am

    1) OK. Game on. It’ll be good education for the audience. Here is the Generations of Warfare definition I made use of.
    2) Delbruck defines ‘modern’ as beginning with the italian renaissance. Kaeuper is a medievalist and I don’t know how he defines ‘modern’. …

    @curtdoolittle Really? Talk to Delbruck, or Kauper, or Lynn, Potter, Wilson, Weigley, Dodge, Duffy, Chandler, Nosworthy, or even Comines. Your assertions are not just bad, they’re “the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor” bad. You are hideously ignorant.

    —“SHOULD I STUDY (FOR A PHD IN ) AUSTRIAN ECONOMICS?”—-

    If you study to be an Austrian Economist at GMU you will be in demand. (Ask them, and they’ll tell you. Look at placement data.) Why? Austrian Econ (bottom up, micro, entrepreneurial, and political economy) is a rare specialization that is methodologically rigorous and extremely valuable to certain sectors, certain governments, certain political parties, and to the financial and investment sector in particular.

    If you just want to teach orthodox (Leftist) econ (top down macro and public choice) you are better off in the orthodox camp. If you want a balance, study at Chicago.

    I think we are within twenty years of catastrophic reorganization of the field, and that if you are young, and interested in Austrian Econ, your long term prospects are quite good.

    -cheers

    —“Should I read (Essayist)”—

    I think nietzsche is mandatory reading IF you can enjoy reading him. I think if you can’t handle nietzsche then try Evola for the esoteric and Chesterson for the realistic.
