  • Dear Fellow Intellectuals – Especially in Academia. Learn The Language of Economics.

    [T]he language of social science is now and will forever be, economics, just as the language of ratios is and will be mathematics. But when we say economics, we mean not monetary economics, but the terminology of costs, discounts and premiums. The effect of asymmetry of information. The language of equilibria. Acquisition, Inventory, Property-en-toto (demonstrated property) Incentive and retaliation Voluntary and moral exchange, involuntary and immoral takings. Cooperation, Boycott, and War. Acquisitions, Costs, and Full Accounting Opportunity costs, Transaction Costs Information and Asymmetry Portfolios and Equilibria Production and Reproduction, Genetic Pacification and Evolution The Intertemporal Division of reproductive Perception, Cognition, Labor, and Advocacy

    Good work Peter. Added to my short list of required reading. Language of economics would help you refine the theory further.

    Adam,

    Thanks for giving this book and this concept airtime.

    Le Griffe has been talking about this issue for years. I have been stating it in relation to Pareto’s work on the distribution of property necessary to organise voluntary production. And the usual suspects in IQ research have been concerned about it for decades now.

    In my work – high trust societies – its almost impossible to form one if the distribution is either too low or too wide.

    Politics in particular suffers since at every two standard deviations people rely on almost entirely different frames.

    Lastly ( I have been giving talks in this lately ) the west may be the fastest developing because of our oath and our discovery of truth. But in addition westerners relied upon manorialism, prohibition on cousin marriage, delayed child birth, and hanging of .5-1% of the population for more than a thousand years

    So our success has just as much to do with our aggressive genetic pacification as it does to our institutions of truth, oath, jury, property, and common law.

    ( aspieness ) ( diary )

    When I was in seventh grade I remember the school wanting me to take another reading course because my tests came back with lower comprehension scores. Which I thought strange given my rather absurd volume of reading and the level of books that I was reading. My mother was convinced something was wrong and went to talk to the principle.

    But I never connected my stunted ability to empathize with and therefore agree with the questions asked as an impediment to reading comprehension. And I am pretty sure I just saw most writing reliant I empathy as irrelevant or an attempt to cloud the issue.

    Once I began to understand the influence of autism in delaying development it became obvious.

    Now I find it humorous. Although I still have a problem with dramatic fiction unless it is loaded with ideas rather than experiences.

    I suppose it’s why encyclopedias were so enjoyable to read so young. Lots of information but no incomprehensible experiences to create confusion.

    To some degree the world is so much easier once you realize that you’re different. And just fine when you realize our brains develop at different rates in order to create an inter temporal division of perception.

    Equality has been a catastrophe. The classroom has been a catastrophe. These are industrial concepts not human.

    Unlike ants, our specialization does not produce easily visible physical differences.

    Most of our differences are the result of minor variations in hormones which produce a symphony of specializations largely by accelerating or limiting some region of growth.

    We specialize in conceptual biases.

    Alberto Zambrano has started translating the main posts on the web site into Spanish, meaning that one of the most aristocratic people remaining – the Spanish speaking – will have access to Propertarianism!!!

    Thank you Alberto Zambrano. 🙂

  • IF WE TEACH 100 PEOPLE HOW TO DISMANTLE THE THE LIES AND RESTATE IT AS TRUTH WE

    IF WE TEACH 100 PEOPLE HOW TO DISMANTLE THE THE LIES AND RESTATE IT AS TRUTH WE WILL CHANGE MANKIND FOREVER.

    That’s our first objective. To get 100. To get that 100 I need to show how they lie, show formulaically how they lie, show formulaically how to restate lies truthfully.

    We can transform social science, morality, law, and politics just as much as we have changed the world from mysticism to science.
