    THE THIRD SECRET OF LEARNING PROPERTARIANISM

    Acquisitionism: All humans seek to acquire ‘experiences’ and those experiences consist entirely of reactions to the acquisition of opportunities for calories, discounts on calories, or calories. (Really).

    When composing a sentence in operational grammar, express not emotions (which are not causal but reactions) and instead, the change in state of calories (assets, property, consumption) that the individual desires to obtain.

    All psychology is an attempt at imposing guilt over violation of a feminine norm. Acquisitionism neutralizes the falsehoods in pseudoscience (psychology, sociology), and pseud-ethics (moral pretense), by illustrating that everyone is merely engaging in bargaining, and doing so by productive, fully informed, warrantied, exchange free of imposition of cost upon the investments of others – OR NOT.

    I have listed all the things we wish to acquire elsewhere. If we have an emotional reaction, it is our pre-human mind’s judgement of gain or loss of calories (assets of all kinds). Period.

    (from quora)

    As always, in all human endeavors, it’s incentives:

    1 – Mark is a left wing outsider from NY. In other words, it’s his background.

    2 – Media people treat gossip as a skill and virtue and good, and are draw to media occupations. They are outsiders in productive industries. They are also the population most dependent upon others for false signals, and therefore most offended by truth signals.

    3 – FB hires mostly young inexperienced people and in particular benefits from immigration of people who are outsiders, and who are inspired by the false narratives.

    4 – FB is a bit of a cult (as are Google, Amazon, certainly wikipedia and the academy.) This happens whenever there is vast asymmetry of returns in a business, government, or religion.

    5 – Once you consume the upper classes (FB originally did) you can only expand the scope of people in your customer base by creating increasingly safer information environments for lower and lower (more easily offended) people, who require increasing isolation from information that they disagree with, in order to not feel excluded (as they do in real life) while using the platform. TRUTH IS EXCLUDING because we are all more or less valuable to others that we have the opportunity to interact with.

    6 – In other words, it’s personal, cultural, and economic incentives.

    BUT WHY?

    Facebook, Google, Amazon, Wikipedia, Quora, and the Academy, the School System, the government bureaucracies, and in particular leftist politicians, all have greater incentives to serve inoffensive, bias-confirming, Dunning-Kruger-satisfying, mythology to their customers.

    **People rarely want the truth**. They want an excuse to feel their status is higher than it demonstrably is given market conditions. The human accounting system of self work is status. Self perceived, and other perceived. In fact, much of television and advertising exists to appeal to this vulnerability.

    Marxism Postmodernism as well as the Abrahamic REligions, all appeal to this weakness of desiring to be more genetically, reproductively, socially, economically, and politically ‘higher’ than they are. This is why hyperconsumption works. We do not teach people piety in the abrahamic sense, or mindfulness in the ‘woo’ sense, or stoicism in the scientific sense.

    When **Marxism** (The myth of the equality of the classes) was no longer intellectually possible by the 1950’s or 1960’s – despite the pseudosciences of Marx, Freud, Boaz, and the Frankfurt school, the **Postmodernists** (largely the French under Derrida and Americans like Rorty) changed the propaganda (“Institutional Narrative”) from **Classism** as the means by which the underclasses could not change their status due to (nonexistent) oppression, to **Identity and Racism** as the means by which the underclasses could not change their status due to (nonexistent) oppression.

    Remember that **Marx**, **Boaz**,**Freud**, and **Frankfurt** School – and even Cantor, are Pseudoscientific movements that fed the classes of previous farm labor and domestic service, newly-risen to consumers by the industrial (capitalist) revolution, a vast set of lies, in order to drown out the rather obvious work of **Maxwell**, **Darwin**, **Weber**, **Pareto**, **Durkheim**, **Spencer**, **Nietzsche**. And they used the same techniques as did the Abrahamic religions (Islam was a heresy of Christianity, and Christianity a Heresy of Judaism, and Judaism a reaction to the invention of reason) to form an counter-revolution against the aristocratic, legal, and scientific revolution provided by the Romans, Greeks, and Persians. So the **first dark age** was created by Magical Religion, and the **second dark age** will either be created by reemergent Magical Religion or by Magical Knowledge we call “Pseudoscience”.

    Instead, we are —quite empirically — **more or less desirable** as mates, friends, coworkers, members of a polity, and citizens in a state, because we are more or less sociable (costly/rewarding), we are more or less reproductively desirable, more or less useful to one another in daily life, we are more or less useful to each other in production, more or less useful in organizing people to produce commons, and place more or less costs upon each other in social, economic, and political organization.

    In particular, in humans, the more **symmetric, pedomorphic, aquiline**, features are more desirable regardless of race, subrace, and for very good evolutionary reasons: easier detection of superior biology, easy detection of longer life, easy detection of more amenable termperaments, because of longer time for mental and social development, by the delay of sexual development, and lower depth of sexual development. In other words, greater pedomorphism and lower impulsivity and higher trust, and longer development cycles, create greater opportunity for cooperation, and the outsized returns of cooperation versus even the most capable individual.

    And among the Races, Subraces, Tribes, Clans, Families, we some have been more successful at eliminating the underclasses and thereby ‘domesticating’ themselves as we have domesticated animals. And some have been less successful at eliminating the underclasses, and have not domesticated themselves as we have domesticated many animals. As such the size of the underclass is much larger, and the median much lower, and therefore the institutions, traditions, morals, ethics, norms, habits, and manners are those that are suitable to the majority.

    And this manifests itself largely in the ability to learn (which decreases rapidly at every seven to ten points of IQ, and in the ability of people to cooperate on increasingly complex divisions of labor while forgoing opportunities for self reward.

    And you can’t find evidence anywhere in the human world to contradict this that isn’t merely economic necessity among the most destitute and lonely.

    This is reality.

    So basically all companies, states, and religions that are not regulated by laws against the spread of falsehood, will harm a population by spreading falsehoods and feelgoods in interest of attracting revenues (companies), votes and taxes(states), and bodies(religion).

    ( Thankfully it is possible, at least in the near future to limit falsehoods and truths about mankind. Just as we limit what can be said about products and services. )

    End the lies.

  • Why Do Some Americans Call Europeans “communist”?

    A lot of answers, but americans actually don’t know why everything european sounds ‘communist’.

    1. europeans trade opportunity for certainty. Americans and people who come to America trade certainty for opportunity.
    2. America was invented in modern language as a ‘third way’, between the aristocracy(authority) and the church(communism), by creating a middle class (entrepreneurial) order consisting of nothing but markets.
    3. American law, and our culture, and much of how americans think ‘differently’ is because we view exchanging certainty for opportunity as ‘limiting our freedoms’. All our wealth goes to people who are entrepreneurs (look it up, its the highest paying occupation). Anyone can become an entrepreneur here and everything is set up to assist you.
    4. In particular, our law is back-loaded. Meaning that there is nothing to constrain you up front, and we handle exceptions (failures) through litigation (expensively). This is one of the primary reasons for rates of american innovation. (It is nearly impossible to do business in europe compared to america. I still have a UK company and it’s one hundred times more expensive and difficult for absolutely no reason.) Continental law is front loaded in the old (French) tradition, and this, and the heavy taxation serve as a barrier to innovation – especially technical innovation. In this sense, European law evolved out of bureaucracy and into high capital which is possible to organize in the Germanic countries.
    5. Everyone talks about medical care and this is chimera. The problem is that we haven’t modernized our laws to prevent medical bankruptcy, and provided catastrophic care. Why? BECAUSE YOU CAN GET IT HERE FAST instead of waiting, and we don’t want to lose that. We have medicaid and medicare and EVERYONE can get health care. Our medicine is more expensive because there is more of it, it is faster, it is better. We don’t want to lose that. (Spoken as someone who has endured the arcane british system). So we need to revise our laws, and increase catastrophic care. But supplying more of an expensive good leads to its abuse and overconsumption.

  • Do You Think Donald Trump Will Get A Second Term? What Will Be His Primary Platform?

    LOTS OF NONSENSE ANSWERS – HERE IS THE BEST:

    People vote the economy. Always.
    It is very hard at this point to argue with the Trump Economy.
    That is what he will run on. And he will continue to run against the media.

    And the more they attack him the stronger he looks to his base by confirming their opinions.
    If he gets the wall done his base will stick with him. His base has not departed.

    About 30% of people demonstrate equalitarianism no matter what. (particularly single women and the underclasses). About 30% demonstrate Aristocracy (meritocracy) – what we call conservatism. The rest of the population always votes the economy. So it only matters, by the time they get to the voting both, what they think of the economy.

    So watch the economies of the swing states.

    (FWIW: I still put our chances of civil war over the next election above 20%. Trump bought time. But it’s going to happen either way.)
