    —“We dont need to understand causes. We need to understand incentives, costs and benefits.

    – it doesn’t matter WHY Muslims explode, not really

    – what is the cost of allowing them to explode?

    -What are the benefits of preventing them from exploding?

    -What are the costs of preventing them from exploding?

    – if there is something to be gained by paying the cost of preventing them from exploding (benefits outweigh costs) then there is a rational incentive in passing that cost.

    – exploding Muslims disrupt our system of production, our means of reproduction and survival.

    Therfore the causes that might be known from some sort of trial are immaterial.

    What is material and knowable is the Muslims are imposing costs which can be reduced through some sort of investment in defense.

    Thus what is left to do is to determine which defense mechanisms should be employed to protect our system of cooperation.”— William Butchman

    MARKETS: DESIGNED, CONSTRUCTED, OR EVOLVED?

    It’s that men did in fact create markets by forcible suppression of alternatives (parasitism) in all walks of life. Now this is different from ‘designed’. The market arises as a consequence of this suppression. So we ‘liberate’ the market as well as man, from parasitism. we construct liberty and market by the same means: suppression of its alternatives. So it’s not that we design the market, it’s that the market evolves from the design of suppression of parasitism. but reality is that market towns were established as were shopping malls today. So trade may exist prior to suppression – but markets are made. cooperation may exist prior to suppression – but liberty is constructed.

    MAN IS MERELY RATIONAL

    Man is rational. He engages in predation when it suits him, parasitism when it is possible, cooperation when it is preferable, and flight when it is necessary. Thankfully, through organizing our efforts into myth, ritual, habit, norm, and law, we can raise the cost of predation and parasitism high enough so that man chooses cooperation or flight more often than parasitism or predation.

    Our deprivation of his opportunity for parasitism and predation do not change the nature of man – because man is rational. We simply eliminate those less able to cooperate and produce, and provide disincentives to those that remain, thereby creating an imbalance of incentives and proclivity for cooperation and production.

  • We Are Prosecutors.

    We do not seek to agree upon action as they do in pursuit of allies, we only seek to prevent those actions that are harmful regardless of whether we create allies or enemies. By prosecuting we are not trying to engage parasites in cooperation, nor are we trying to win their consent, nor win their approval, nor even to assist them in understanding our position. Just the opposite: we are trying to determine if they are trying to engage in error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, or deceit, in order to obtain by fraud, rallying and shaming what they cannot obtain by fully informed voluntary exchange.

    Four kinds of people in this world. 1. People who are building things. 2. People who steal from those who are building things.
    3. People who watch the people who are building things and the people who are stealing from those who are building things. 4. People who are asleep in this world and have no fucking idea that people are building things or that other people are stealing from the people who are building things.
