    And worse they are masking decline by increases in consumption without corresponding increases in productivity.

    Try not to (a) be a moron, (b) countersignal the economics, (c) illustrate that you’re a an economic denialist just like the left is a race and gender denialist. I don’t make mistakes. It’s my job to help those of you who can’t help but do so.

    INTEREST AND TIME

    Consumption vs Production

    1. Production REQUIRES interest to calculate time.

    2. Consumption does NOT REQUIRE interest to calculate time.

    3. Time has already been calculated.

    4. It was either a good calculation or a bad one.

    This is one of those things I unconsciously assume is obvious because I already convert all economic and financial statements into statements of time.

    But Michael reminds me tonight that it isn’t obvious.

    I suppose I’ve convinced everyone who wasn’t thinking in terms of property to do so but I have clearly failed to convince everyone to convert property into time, because it is time that we create and purchase all property with and we make time by saving time by cooperation in a division of labor.

    I mean, that’s what productivity means: measurable returns on time.

  • NEXT STEP IN EVOLUTION IS HERE. WE MUST REORGANIZE TO EXPLOIT IT. THE NEXT STEP

    http://expand-your-consciousness.com/autistic-teenager-higher-iq-einstein-path-noble-prize/THE NEXT STEP IN EVOLUTION IS HERE. WE MUST REORGANIZE TO EXPLOIT IT. THE NEXT STEP IN HIGH INVESTMENT PARENTING.

    My view is that autistics (like me) are the next step in neoteny, and that this next step in our ‘evolution’ require an additional leap in high investment parenting, just like homo-sapiens required an additional leap in high investment parenting.

    RE: http://expand-your-consciousness.com/autistic-teenager-higher-iq-einstein-path-noble-prize/

    “LIfe Skills” are a female code word for “don’t leave us behind in evolutionary development”. The feminine mind fears leaving behind, the masculine mind fears not running ahead.

    Women demonstrably infantilize generations at every opportunity.

    Our next revolution in government is to undo the damage done by women’s infantilization of the polity, economy, and civilization, by eliminating the artificial construct we call childhood, and adding 15 years back to our productive development, and participation.

    My grandmother knit and sold mittens by the time she was four. Children were usually employed (particularly girls) by ages of five or six. Boys began their trades at seven. Boys commended ships at the age of twelve. Generals at the age of 14. We are graduating people from college with 100K in debt that don’t understand compound interest, basic economics, or the natural inequality of peoples – all because of the demands of women to ‘maintain influence and control’ – because they naturally lack the ability to do so by dominance in competition.

    UNDERSTAND NEGATIVE VS POSITIVE COMPETITION

    (The Economics of Time) (core)

    In positive ( market ) competition we compete for the seizure of unseized opportunities (potential capital), by increasing the time content of the products and services we offer whether by price or quality.

    In negative (anti-market) competition we compete for the seizure of previously seized opportunities, thereby stealing (decreasing) the time content (existential capital).

    Capital consists of a store of time produced by human actions.

    When we divide labor we decrease the time demand for production.

    In the via negativa, we do not produce more, we increase the rate of production in time.

    All of economics is the study of time and energy just like all of physics is the study of time and energy. The difference is that universe can’t choose, and because we can remember, act, sympathize, and cooperate, we can save time.

    In this sense we are not wealthier than our pre-language ancestors, we have simply made everything drastically cheaper by cooperating and saving time, first in production and second in the form of capital: stored time.

    @curtdoolittle @borzoopovic @AnatomicallyOK There is a element of money that seems to collapse all thing into one, and all time to the present. The most financialized societies seem to all follow the same path, everything revolving around pleasure in the present. Why is this?
