  • By Brian Barr —“Property rights are for farmers / human rights are for migrant

    By Brian Barr

    —“Property rights are for farmers / human rights are for migrants (hunters) – when it comes to economics these are both reflex propositions in response to defection or tragedy of the commons. The problem we have today is past that of even managing the despoiling of commons: the ecosystem has become a people-system and the main problem with this is that people can occupy every niche but they don’t eat each other. This is unnatural/unsustainable, so that it’s escalating – more effort is called for from everyone in a kind of hysteria, and there is no proper instinctive response in place.”—

    The first sentence is exceptional. I can’t edit the rest down, so I’ll say that absent natural competitors, we have *YET* no institutional means to constrain humans from overconsumption.

    Hence, markets in everything and constraint on reproduction to those who are productive.

    The proceeds from cooperation are so much more rewarding than non cooperation, that in all but the rarest of circumstances, an individual cannot survive without cooperation. Yet, just as one is limited by the shortest time, the least effort, his current knowledge, the surest returns and the lowest risk – one is also limited in his value in cooperation to others, and their value to others, at the various scales of production that each input and output of the organization of people who currently survive prevail.

    UNIVERSAL TRANSLATOR FOR ANTI WHITE SJW SPEECH:

    “Science makes it hard for me to free-ride, lie, cheat, obtain rents, and steal through begging, coercing, shaming, and rallying, and therefore hinders my status signaling ability, and therefore hinders my reproductive ability, and I can’t just sit here and deal with my inferiority, so I’m gonna say something to get your attention, and force you to pay the costs of shutting me up, and to shut me up before I inspire others and you gotta pay more of us to shut up in order to get anything done.”

    West, Russia, China

    We play ooda-loops and always have (mobility). Russia plays wait for weakness (aggressive opportunism). china plays accumulate, delay and deceive until winning is impossible against them (aggressive defense).

    That mobility as a team, opportunism but weakness in maneuver, and absorbing damage while accumulating strength reflect military strategies – it should not surprise us that their practice of ‘truth’ follows the same strategy, or that their systems of government follow the same strategy.

    I would note that german and catholic europe are just living in denial.

  • I know that in the global intellectual pool of people who deeply understand econ

    I know that in the global intellectual pool of people who deeply understand economics, there are those of us who understand the Chinese strategy to destroy the USA, and how successful it will be. I know that there is nothing our government can do to stop it. I know that Russia is counting on it. I know that we are dead. What I don’t understand is just letting it happen rather than managing our decline. Democracy is the evil that prevents it. Russia and china can adapt. We no longer can adapt.

  • Do What You Were Born To Do

    DO WHAT YOU WERE BORN TO DO (v2) Killing is what we evolved to do – and we are excel at it. We are evolution’s super-predators. And hunting, sport, and soldiery are poor substitutes for the heady war of warrior kinsmen. There is no higher good, no higher achievement, no greater demonstration of your self and your people, your culture and your civilization, than the defeat, decimation, deprivation, and enslavement of your enemies, and the distribution of their women, their property, and their territory. We don’t need to shrink from the opportunity to war for our kin – but REVEL in it. We need not water the tree of sovereignty, liberty, freedom with the blood of enemies and tyrants lightly – but drench it, and thoroughly.

  • Chasing Down ‘Libertarian’ Smells

    CHASING DOWN ‘LIBERTARIAN’ (free rider) SMELLS Matt Mitchell —“Curt, is there anything in particular that I said that goes against what you said? For markets to function there needs to be a particular order in the first place, right? Things can change in time, yes, though there are things that do not change or are unlikely to change. Forcing people to live one way or the other, doesn’t help in any way.”—

    Curt Doolittle Hmmm…. well, you know, I have a job right? And in my job I look for opportunities to encourage people to think ‘completely’. So to some degree I’m just ‘riffing’ off your post to get people to think. But in the context of your post, you are implying steady state, homogeneity, and religious authority necessary to indoctrinate those beliefs – when people merely choose the beliefs that suit their circumstances. So that I felt the need to do was to remind you and others, that we are not agrarians any longer. That the world of modern urbanity is much more like living as diasporic tribes floating between city-markets, trading our goods (skills, labor), and that we do not have the steady state, the homogeneity, or the ability to indoctrinate under these conditions, and as such we can only struggle to impose limits and exceptions (laws) in a jurisdiction, not ‘regularities’ (beliefs). So I was reacting to a ‘libertarian smell’, and ‘false assumption’ smell to your argument. Trade always existed. Cities were created by violence. Markets were created by violence. Trade routes were created by violence. More violence than the thieves could muster to prey upon them. The truth is, we have to fight. And that’s all there is to it. So what is the social order that both allows us to fight and eliminates the need to fight? Rule of law. So yes, forcing people to live under increasing suppression of parasitism is unquestionably in all of history a ‘good’. It may in fact, be the good that produces the highest returns of all. Even more so than the division of labor. Because it is the first good that makes the division of labor possible. 😉 Force, fire, water, air, and words, are good things put to good purpose. Or bad things put to bad purpose. They are not intrinsically good or bad. ———–definition———– “Code smell”, also known as bad smell, in computer programming code, refers to any symptom in the source code of a program that possibly indicates a deeper problem. According to Martin Fowler, “a code smell is a surface indication that usually corresponds to a deeper problem in the system”.
