    http://euromaidanpress.com/2014/09/15/russia-concerned-about-rights-of-russian-speakers-in-the-baltics/Russia just replays hitlers strategy. Media makes opinion. Any justification they want to. If you can find a moral story and stay on message it will win.

    If Russia is right then Hitler was right and Mexicans invading america are right.

    For my part, I am not sure I disagree with tribalism. I agree with it. However, in the choice between corruption, or against corruption, in favor of pervasive lying and against pervasive lying, in favor of prosperity or in favor of poverty, in favor of high trust or in favor of low trust, I choose to be against corruption and against pervasive lying, in favor of prosperity, in favor of high trust, and against everything that Russia stands for and does.

    This is just how it is. Bring your invading conquering, corrupt, low-trust, lie-believing, pseudoscientific Russian speakers home to the poverty of your militarism.

    THE TERNARY LOGIC OF COOPERATION

    1) The ternary logic of cooperation consists of three possible states: Violence(predation), Cooperation (exchange), and Avoidance (boycott); and cooperation, whether rational or pre-rational, is only beneficial if productive and non-parasitic (is absent of free riding/imposed cost). Even the advocacy of free riding, Involuntary transfer and imposed costs is an act of fraud.

    2) We have invented a series of incrementally complex logical instruments that permit us to isolate properties and make comparisons, an without which we cannot make comparisons. All forms of ‘calculation’ (in the widest sense) depend upon these

    a) Properties (identities) and Categories (sets) : Logic (description)

    b) Counting (multiples) and Naming (numbering) : Arithmetic (quantities)

    c) Measures and Ratios : Mathematics (relations)

    d) Causal Relations : Physics (causality)

    e) Forecasting (time) and Planning (acting) : The Logic of Action

    f) Cooperation : The Ternary Logic of Cooperation (production)

    The Ternary Logic of Cooperation constitutes the missing ‘logic’ of cooperation.

    Western Philosophy is first and foremost, in itself, the logic of rational action – the tools we use to rationalize action in the world. I have abandoned the attempt to restate praxeology and abandoned the term praxeology as unrecoverable, given both the ideological commitment of its adherents, the logical and empirical failure of misesian praxeology as pseudoscientific, and the absurdly primitive levantine immorality of rothbardianism. So at this point I’ve decided to go forward using the “Ternary Logic of Cooperation” and the in-group prohibition on free riding and the out-group restatement of free riding as a prohibition on imposed costs.

    The cathedral just wants customers.

    The state just wants a herd to milk.

    It’s time for torches, knives, and pitchforks.

    Exchanging one’s wealth of violence for cooperation, is only rational in the absence if parasitism.

    Parasitism and insurance are two very different things.

    MISES AS ADVOCATE FOR FREE RIDING, THEFT AND HATRED OF MAN

    (worth repeating) (so harsh, so true)

    Mises, like many of his contemporaries, correctly intuited that something was wrong with the direction if economic inquiry, but he, even less so than his peers in math and science, was unsuccessful in identifying it. And instead resorted, like freud, cantor, marx, to elaborate verbal pseudoscientific argument, unsupported by empirical evidence, to justify his preconceptions of how economics ought to work if it worked for the benefit of investors rather than the benefit of the commons (everyone).

    Mises constructs a model whereby we pay absolutely nothing for the maintenance of the commons. He applies the ethic of the ghetto. The commons is taken for granted – unpaid for and uncared for. And if there is a commons, he wants us to free-ride upon it, rather than pay for it. Which makes sense if you’re a culture of migratory pastoralists, but not if you’re a culture of landed agrarians and industrialists who treat the land and the commons as sanctified.

    In other words, Human Action is a justification of free riding on the commons. It’s a justification for immorality. A justification for theft. By a man who is either ignorant of, or hateful of, mankind so much that he would devote this amount of work to yet another pseudoscientific act of deception. Not on the scale of Marx or Freud, but only because he had a smaller market for his ideas.

    Yes, the state bureaucracy is predatory, but that does not mean we abandon all commons’, it means we abandon the bureaucracy.

    This is the correct interpretation of Mises: as an advocate for investors who used pseudoscience to justify his preconceptions.

  • Why Blame Competitors Rather Than Blaming Yourself For Failing To Compete?

    [T]he reason you are conquered is that you are weak enough to be. Why are you weak enough to be conquered? Fix what is wrong with your civilization, rather than criticize your attacker. Understand why you are weak enough to be attacked. We failed because we are altruistic. Not entirely, but more than anyone else. Our high trust has a down side. And we just experienced a century of it.

  • Armies of Lies Instead of Armies of Men: War at a Discount.

    [T]here are always malevolent people in the world. They simply lack the means of acting. Raising an army is actually quite hard. But we dont need to raise armies any longer. We celebrated the benefits of literacy. But we celebrated literacy among our culture of truth telling. We did not account for the misuse of literacy, the misuse of printing, the misuse of education, the misuse of radio, television, and film to construct elaborate lies. The most important was, to justify lying. The abuse of information systems whether it be the pricing system, or the education system, or the media, has been just as damaging as any war or plague – perhaps more so. We have survived the thirty years war. The world war. But we did not survive I suspect, a century and a half of lying (pseudoscience).
