    Libertarianism is heavily populated social rejects for a variety of reasons. But the movement captured a large number of the smarter guys who had nothing more concretely rational or scientific to work with.

    I think we’ve pretty much buried libertarianism over the past few years, and it’s just a matter of the smart and younger guys moving to the new right, the over-invested older guys dying off, and the left-libertarians absorbing the rest.

    The underclass right can’t do much except rebel. So someone has to produce a set of ideas that can be expressed as demands, and implemented as institutions, as an alternative to violent revolution.

    Now, everyone lives under a bit of a lampost that he grasps the light of which does not reach too far beyond his experience.

    The only way to know if our experience is meaningful is not through our own experiences, but by exhausting the experiences available to man – mostly by traveling and reading.

    So the fact that my work isn’t accessible to everyone’s lamp light is simply something we would expect.

    One of the observations we can make about man, universally, is that the average imbecile thinks his opinion on ethical, moral, social, political, and economic matters, in the absence of specialized knowledge in the subjects, is somehow possibly to test by intuition, any more than whether or not the earth is flat, the stars are just lights in the sky, and astrology produces predictable results.

    The average idiot has an opinion about things in the domain of the social that are no more valuable than his opinoins on protein folding, the stress of different materials, the problems with the unified field, the subject of infinity, or scientific epistemology.

    It’s ok. Toddler’s think they’re cunning also. Dunning Kruger, like the devil, is always at our shoulders.

    BUTCH AND STEVE ON THE DECLINING COST OF CIVIL WAR

    “Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”- John Adams

    Adams makes sense now. As the outcome of an election diverges from the outcome of a war, as more and more of those with no capacity to generate violence are allowed suffrage, then eventually the cost of war falls far enough below the cost of the election, that those with the capacity to generate violence rise up and take violent control of the state.— William Butchman

    And also, when revolutions occur they are due to the state ignoring the changes in sympathy of those with violent capacity. To rule, you must keep the violent majority on your side at all times.—Steve Pender

    —“Democratic elections, being an alternative to war – a demonstration of violent capacity (in theory, no longer in practice) – to avoid the need for fighting by showing one’s strength without loss of life, was then subverted by universal suffrage which diluted the implied violence behind voting, without diluting the actual violent capacity. It’s now probable that a minority may have far more violent capacity than 51% of the voters.”—Steve Pender

    RULE PROFITABLY OR BE RULED BY OTHERS

    (good stuff)

    The Dead are less costly than Competitors – rule by competition.

    Competitors are less costly than criminals – rule by predation.

    Criminals are less costly than slaves – rule by crime

    Slaves are less profitable than Serfs – rule by force.

    Serfs are less profitable than Employees – rule by law.

    Employees are less profitable than Debtors – rule by credit

    Debtors are less profitable than Followers – rule by religion, pseudoscience, and deceit.

    Followers are less profitable than Sovereigns – rule by reciprocity

    Sovereigns are less profitable than Rule – rule by all of the above.

    Rule is always profitable.

    Therefore, Rule profitably. Rule unprofitably. Or be ruled by others at your own expense.

    All that changes is the number of people in each group.

    As we gain wealth by incremental suppression of opportunity for parasitism, the median of the distribution advances in profitability.

    But make no mistake: there are no conditions under which this hierarchy doesn’t exist.
