Markets Not Majoritarianism
Jan 4, 2020, 12:07 PM by Martin Štěpán
Why do people keep assuming we only want to make slight changes to universal suffrage? The optimum outcome is scraping the whole thing and putting in several houses for classes with different interests that have to negotiate.
They have been indoctrinated into the fallacy of the good of democracy’s majoritarian tyranny, and made ignorant of the market as a means of calculating optimums despite differences.

The Cult of Competence
Jan 5, 2020, 2:40 PM by Luke Weinhagen
—“… the freedom we have enjoyed in America is not the fruit of fortuitous accident, of great natural resources, or of mere isolation from the tangled skein of European politics. It is the direct result of purposeful thinking and hard work. It is the child of the cult of competency—intellectual competency, physical competency, moral competency…”—
Source ( http://ergo-sum.net/literature/CultOfCompetency.pdf) The address the above excerpt is pulled from has become something of an inspiration for me in defining and pursuit of a cult of competence. The problems we are working to provide solutions for now have been plaguing man for at least as long as we’ve been writing it story down. The cult of competence has always been there in some form wherever dangerous free individuals pursue fruitful and virtuous interaction with other dangerous free individuals.

Declaring War
Jan 5, 2020, 6:26 PM The United States Congress has not formally declared war since World War II. There have only been 11 instances of declaring war, almost all of which are during WW2. The President can MAKE war but cannot DECLARE war. “The president has the power to initiate hostilities without consulting Congress.” There are limits to these conflicts. Presidents can and have engaged in plenty of conflicts. They don’t include the civil war, korea, vietnam, grenada, panama, the balkans, the gulf, … any. Engaging in conflict is different from war, because war powers convey DOMESTIC powers to the president.

Trump’s New Space Force Would Enhance Israel and The Future United States Militarily
Jan 6, 2020, 3:33 PM With Trump’s new Space Force, comes Jerusalem’s ( or Tel Aviv, if you like ) comparative military advantage in the Middle East. Now under the Air Force Secretary, when the United States Space Force evolve into a fully fledged arm of the United States military, you can expect that it’s secured communication, observatory, and global positioning capabilities would be leveraged by Israel for its regional and international pursuits. Contemporary and future wars are no longer about soldier numbers and or volumes. Iran’s Qassem Soleimani demonstrated this with his assymetrical success in:
- Yemen against Saudi Arabia, using the Houthis
Syria against ISIS and other sunni militia
Iraq by way of multiple shia paramilitia
Lebanon and Gaza against the Lebanese regime and Israel respectively
The world’s labelled terror organizations demonstrated this also. Israel demonsrated this against the Iranian quest to a quicker nuclear break out capability when it unleashed stuxnet with United States co-operation against Iranian centrifuges. The United States demonstrated this with the Obama era drone assassination program, then inherited by Trump and which executed Soleimani this January. Evidently, to cripple civilisations in our days require not soldiers numbers per se but skilled, capable, committed operatives. Targeting the GETRR:
- Gas
- Electrical grid
- Telecommunication infrastructure
- Roads
- Railway
D day sabotage in assymetrical offensives, are victory – clinching just as the first successful nuclear impact may determine the eventual winner in an all out war. Military superiority in space allow for defense and so deterrence while providing the means for pre emptive offense that may prevent actual wars. Trump’s Space Force would thus enhance US – Israeli military superiority in the long term except the constitution of the United States national security establisment as it stand today, is restructured to new objectives overall.
