  • Not Since Slavery…. The White Middle And Working Classes Enslaved

    Not since slavery have we seen people work so hard to justify the taking of the productivity of others – (rough quote of thomas sowell)

  • The Error Of The Ancients: War is Fine But Economics Beneath Them

    THE ERROR OF THE ANCIENTS: TALKING BIZ WAS “OH, SO, BOURGEOISE” Aside from the conquest of the west by byzantine mysticism, the central problem of western philosophy was thinking and ruling classes avoidance of the centrality of economics. We get philosophy to circumvent the traditional law. And we get science to circumvent the traditional church. And we finally get jewish pseudoscience and puritan outright deceit as ways of circumventing science, economics, an law. Economics really doesn’t come into being until smith’s combination of it with ethics, morality, and politics, or turn into a science until menger. Then just as the german scientific revolution is about to kick in, we get the wars, and the postwar era keynes replaces pseudoscience with obscurantist immoral mathematics that menger and smith had sought to avoid. Then the americans kick in – so proud they are to have found a way to destroy civilization faster using stocks as money.

    Lesson? Get your hands dirty.

    (I made my money with tech, understanding business is a problem of solving customer wants, learning how to sell to customers, and working my ass off – not by waiting people to come ask me for my self aggrandizing opinion. I’d be resentful as hell too. Because I had demonstrated the error of my judgement, and paid the price for it.)

    I will do a video in the next few months Fred. It is too hard for me to do quickly. But I will leave you with a few puzzles to help you think it thru: We are not wealthier than cave men. We have simply made everything infinitely cheaper. The way we make things infinitely cheaper is to make many hands make light work. They way we make many hands cheaply do light work is through spacial proximity (nearness). By coming together in close space we decrease the cost of finding opportunities. Our very proximity ‘manufactures less expensive opportunities.’ We then use competition in the market to seize opportunities. When we seize opportunities voluntarily by exchange we create property. To make the cost of siezing opportunities cheaper we create money. Money creates prices. Prices allow us to calculate ever more complext and (efficient) and lower risk means of making work lighter and therefore faster.

    We have a fixed amount of time passing at a fixed rate. Each person has approximately the same amount of time, although being smarter is certainly the equivalent of having more time – sometimes a lot more time. In the end our time is converted into many different things, with the surplus (extra) converted into the cheapst (most easily used) form of storage: money(investments, etc).

    When you think about how much time and calories are involved and tha tmoney is a measure of it, and that productivity in time is all we are every doing to create surplusses that can be converted into money (saved time) the world becaomes much more understandable.

    Why is this kind of thought hard? because we evolved a habit of using as little effort as possible in order to wait for opportunities. This sort of makes sense as a hunter gatherer. But as a human, ‘fixed’ time is no longer fixed. We are always making more with less time, when we have more smarter hands to work with.

    TIME NOT MONEY

    If we can shift economic and political thought from comparing static money and prices to dynamic time, with money as the means of recording and storing time, then we will have a much easier job correcting the frauds of macroeconomic policy that is sold to the people.

    ( Under Testimonialism, Propertarianism and Sovereignty, soros is guilty of major crimes. First for violating the requirement for productivity, second for violating the requirement for fully informed voluntary exchange, third for violating the demand for markets in everything, and fourth and most seriously, for attempts to alter the only government that forces anything close to natural law: ours. )

    THE THREE STEPS TO RESTORATION

    1) I think the introduction of direct distribution of liquidity would cause a transformation from a financial economy to a producer economy, and that the change would be rapid and drastic and alter our competitive positioning in the world for centuries.

    2) I think the combination of this monetary change plus the devolution of normative law from the fed to the states would do the same.

    3) I think that the transformation from weak empiricism to testimonialism would do the same.

    I think these three things restore america and the west.
