  • Cooperation is Only Useful, Until it is Not.

    Cooperation, whether personal, commercial, political, or military, is only valuable until it is not valuable personally, familially, tribally, or nationally, or not valuable organizationally or politically. Cooperation is not an intrinsic good any more than violence is an intrinsic bad. They are just useful or not in producing goods and bands. When cooperation is no longer beneficial, then boycott is in one’s interest. When boycott is no longer beneficial then predation is in one’s interest. And while it is very common that cooperation and boycott are often more valuable, there are many conditions under which violence is preferable to boycott or cooperation. This is the left’s mistake. This is the state’s mistake. This is most everyone’s mistake. Never has an empire been so fragile. Revolutions are always suspect in prospect but deterministic in retrospect. The question is – can I deprive those with the interest in change of confidence in all alternatives such that they will work in very small groups to bring about constitutional, political, and civil change? I think so. Desperation will sink in. When desperate, and with vision of the future, and a plan of action, it’s all possible. Trivial even. Deterministic.

  • UPDATE: It looks like we are going to move the company to the states where costs

    UPDATE: It looks like we are going to move the company to the states where costs of administration are lower, legal costs and flexibility are higher, venture capital is more friendly and available.

    As part of this move we will likely jump directly to phase two, and rename the product ‘Runcible’ and possibly the company to ‘Runcible’ as well. (See Neal Stephenson’s Diamond Age for reference.) I have held the company name in reserve for the second phase.

    – Our product provides a single interface for every activity in every organization.

    – Architecturally it’s a game engine with workflows and scripting available to ordinary power users – without developers.

    – Every item can have an associated financial transaction.

    – It has a social ‘economy’ and a reward system and ‘variables’.

    – The general idea is that it is possible to build very large but very flat organizations – even networks of organizations.

    – The novel idea is that the system gathers information and provides you feedback about yourself, your group, your company and the market – sort of like how facebook provides it to advertisers but hides it from you, we reverse that relationship and provide you with information about you relative to your peers (competitors).

  • Conservative Vs Progressive? What Does It Mean?

    Eugenic/K/Aristocratic/Male/Concentrate Capital to produce competitive excellence in smaller numbers. — vs — Dysgenic/r/Socialist/Female/Distribute capital to produce numbers regardless of quality. This is the causal difference. I can find no conditions under which this parsimony fails to provide explanatory power.

  • SLAVIC WOMEN, GERMAN WOMEN, BRITISH WOMEN, AMERICAN WOMEN… Women create demand

    SLAVIC WOMEN, GERMAN WOMEN, BRITISH WOMEN, AMERICAN WOMEN…

    Women create demand for affection.

    One of the reasons slavic women put so much emphasis on beauty is to compete with their past antagonists the germans. Why? they think German women are manly. To a large degree this is true. The english took the opposite position with the French. English women couldn’t compete with the french so they lionized puritan ‘drab’.

    Women conduct their own world wars. Men just don’t pay attention.

    It’s women that have destroyed western civilization.
