    (FB 1541902625 Timestamp) THE MARKET WILL SUPPLY THE ANSWER IF YOU CREATE IT. MARKETS NOT PLANS. GOALS NOT TASKS. Excuse me for reveling in it a bit, but you know, it seems like Bill’s group has percolated a set of arguments in form of traditional wisdom on top of the analytic content, and that this is the ‘market’ providing leadership by consequence rather than design. It is not what I would have intended, but it is what the majority of men need. I had hoped to work with those few young men that fell prey to the easy temptations of authoritarianism, to create a cadre of very analytic judges like myself – because it is the intellectuals I want to fight on intellectual terms in the open field of public debate. And I suspect I must learn something from that failure. That ‘the dark side’ of simplicity is too tempting for the impatience of young men, too inexperienced at the conflict of men of achievement, to have the patience to conduct intellectual warfare rather than the duels of the young men seeking quick status rather than accumulated capital. That failure aside, It seems the scientist and engineer in me has produced what I desired. But that the talent of these men has produced what the market needs. The market will produce leaders. They merely need the weapons with which to conduct the current war, rather than the last. The leaders of the revolution will come from those that do not seek quick personal accolades, in internet duels, but COMBINED ARMS in producing that spectrum of ideas necessary for the spectrum of packs of men to understand, execute, and bring in to fruition.

    (FB 1541902975 Timestamp) BUILDING LEADERSHIP You cannot know in advance what human capital investments will hatch leaders. The method I use to build organizations is the same: make a lot of bets, and make few judgments, other than to support evidence successes no matter how small and abandon failures that cannot be saved.

    (FB 1542053782 Timestamp) THE ECONOMICS OF GENDER —“the Hermetic principle. Gender exists within everything. Male, female, hard, soft, light, dark. The similarities between his comparisons are characteristics of gender.”–Bradley Morgan Um.. how would you state that scientifically: I can, in that the computational efficiency (calculation of successful specialization) of genders (two of them) defeated all other permutations and the additional calculative variation of additional genders seems to NOT provide enough additional value to compete with two genders. There is an argument that male and female cognitive structures in humans produce a spectrum from extremes of either end to a balance, and that this allows us to calculate the exploitation of a wider variety of opportunities than rigid specialization would. This is possibly the optimum method of evolutionary progress because we do not require the cost of a third or more gender, but we can still produce adaptive responses and express them anywhere between the extremes.

    (FB 1542209711 Timestamp) THE ARISTOCRATIC (RESPONSIBILITY) SALES FUNNEL All of the people who start out edgy, tend to move back up the sales funnel (wider audience) because they perceive they are doing more good with wider reach, by driving more people into the sales funnel. Everyone has to move thu the ‘sales funnel’ from well meaning fool to man of agency. I did it and it sure seems like most other men do. “Nice Person” > Social Democracy > Classical Liberalism > Libertarianism > anarcho capitalism > Neo Reaction > Propertarianism > (some version of , fuck it, let’s just impose it.)

    (FB 1542215191 Timestamp) DRAGGING THROUGH THE SALES FUNNEL by Luke Weinhagen Our current parasite supporting system turns this agency sales funnel into a tractor pull. Every step of the way you have to carry more a burden. You have to recognize the costs being imposed upon you by the parasites are there because you are allowing them to be. Right now the funnel is not for weak engines not the faint of heart. “Fuck it, let’s just impose it” becomes a relief. If we can get to where we can start to suppress the parasites, this funnel opens up to more and more people. We get to that wider audience.

    (FB 1542214591 Timestamp) THE ECONOMIC APPROACH TO HUMAN BEHAVIOR You know, it’s so much a part of my cognition that I forget to mention it. But this book framed my thinking about social science more so than any other. I think in the Becker model. Ostrom just helps with extending the Becker model into commons. The “minds” that I imitate (make use of constantly) are Becker, Hayek, Hoppe, Popper, Turing-Chomsky, (the outlier is Hoppe (property) which is what the rest are missing), with Jeff Hawkins’s work on intelligence ( already having come true), and Baron Cohen’s so obvious, it’s coming true daily in the research. The Nietzsche I rely on is Birth of Tragedy. Someone will skewer me for this but his fundamental insight was produce there, and all else is application of it. Step back to the beginning again, and grasp that I studied history, art history, and military history first before any of this, and the sequence of aggregate behavior down to neurological processing is a completely coherent and consistent series of ideas. https://www.amazon.com/Economic-Approach-Human-Behavior/dp/0226041123
