    (FB 1543677239 Timestamp) ACQUISITION AND THE SUPPLY DEMAND CURVE (And Hayekian Triangles). by Bill Joslin (Important concept) (“The Grammar of Social Relations.”) We (Propertarians) often use spectrums, but do so in a linear fashion a-b-c etc. A line in a single dimension, possibly two. Start to end or minimum to maximum. There is always, for any point on the spectrum, a vertical dimension which is context or frame. (CD: usually it’s scale.) We presume, properly, the existential frame, but without explicit expression it leaves us open to frame manipulation. The vertical dimension would be context – we’re always low context, but there might be something to including in what domain of existence we’re referring to for a spectrum, or accounting for all domains along with the spectrum. An example: aquisitionalism on a base biological level (domain)-> acquisition of calories and mating opportunities. Aquisitionalism on an individual level (domain) -> pursuit of “goods’ Aquisitionalism on a social level (domain)-> acquisition of signals and opportunity Aquisitionalism on a societal level (domain) -> acquisition of advantage

    Without specifying or accounting for all domains, we tend to be mistaken for reductionists

    (Curt Doolittle Responds: ) Correct. So we have some spectrum, some time series, and some range of context(conceptual) or conditions (existential). So, because of (a) w can repeat series indefinitely in text, and this trains people through repetition. (b) text (This venue) does not assist us in creating graphs (supply demand curves), and (c) most people are unfamiliar with Hayekian Triangles, which is how these things are optimally communicated. (d) I am … let us say ‘leery’ of illustrating all these concepts in hayekian triangles, despite the fact that in my mind, I model all these concepts in Gary Becker’s supply and demand curves of Social Science Incentives. (Which is how I plan to teach the class: getting the students to draw all of them.) This converts the textual to the graphical. So. A series should define a supply demand curve. —THE GRAMMARS OF SOCIAL RELATIONS — IDEAL TYPE Hyper Generalization (overgeneralization). an Ideal. This is how most people converse in ordinary language. SERIES Hierarchy (series) = The Production Cycle (commonly) CURVE Supply = Volume (quantity, amount) Demand = Criteria for Choice Intersection = Choice TRIANGLES Production Cycle
    Possible Production Range Amount of investment vs trust required. EQUILIBRIUM BETWEEN COMPETING TRIANGLES (Mapping two or more curves together) DYNAMIC STOCHASTIC EQUILIBRIUM MODELS (how economics is performed today) So please forgive me if I speak in legal argument using series presuming the user can grasp that I speak in curves not lines. Because if I wrote at any greater level of complexity, (a) the demand on my time would be logarithmic, (b) it would only be fit for academic publication, and not for production of LAW COMPREHENSIBLE BY MEN. –GRAMMARS– Note that this pattern of grammars exists EVERYWHERE in every discipline.

    (FB 1543759047 Timestamp) ART ISN”T THAT HARD TO PRICE – IT’S HARD TO LIQUIDATE QUICKLY —“…Value of art varies….”— Hmmmm…. One can objectively compare art, particularly by triangulation. One can, with some skill, estimate its current market value by RANGE – dealers are relatively good at it. But doing so requires a rather great deal of knowledge of the pieces in the inventory whether on market or not. When talking of rarities (culturally, technically, or aesthetically significant pieces, or pieces from an artist), one has to understand the liquidity of customers and their incentives. Houses are less ridiculous, and more likely to take a loss, but follow the same general rules. Fashion less ridiculous than houses, but following the same general rules. Ergo, “All Stereotypes Are True”, “Class Stereotypes Are True”, “Taste Stereotypes Are True”, and one need only understand the relationship between Stereotype, Available Inventory, and Current Economic Conditions within that Stereotype. As in all economic questions, the more predictable the price range the lower the value of the service, commodity, product, item. Signal Value is Costly Regardless of Class.

I’m seeing a huge surge in propertarianism.”—Curtus Maximus 1) John Mark is making a huge difference. it’s insane how effective he’s been already. He is more effective than everyone else combined. 2) Bill is now the real deal and I’m not alone on the podium. 3) Bill’s crew has finished baking giving us a sort of minimum critical mass of talent. 4) I’ve begun talking about revolution directly, 5) like I said, we actually have a solution, and no one else does, so as I predicted ‘natural force of gravity will advance us because of it’. 6) yellow vests, brexit, US election, trump condition, and citizen ‘political exhaustion’ have moved practical revolt into the overton window. In other words, as I predicted, events march toward their deterministic conclusion. 😉

    (FB 1544808083 Timestamp) ANARCHISM OR RULE OF LAW (NOMOCRACY)? One cannot both advocate for a uniform definition of property, and argue for anarchy. Hence why I argue for nomocracy: the natural law of reciprocity = the law of tort = the law of property = discovered by the resolution of demonstrated conflict = decided by tests of involuntary transfer.

    (FB 1544807368 Timestamp) IF IT WAS COMMON SENSE WE WOULDN’T NEED THE WHITE LAW —“I follow Curt, but most of what he’s says seems like common sense.”— A Friend (from Chat) So yes. It is f–cking common sense. The difference is that I defend that common sense both logically and scientifically, because what is ‘common sense’ to you ‘is not common’. I made a Law of what you consider ‘common sense’. It is that law, the constitution that embodies it, and the logic and science in defense of it, that make it open to utility in persuasion, resistance to falsification, and institutional implementation, rather than simply a difference of moral bias and condition. I wrote our law. No one ever did that before. We just ‘do it’. For thousands of years. Individual Sovereignty, Truth, Duty (and charity), The Natural law of Reciprocity (Tort), the Sovereignty Judge and the Jury, and markets in everything that result. The Militia of a distributed dictatorship of sovereign men.

    (FB 1545151057 Timestamp) PROPERTARIANISM AND STOICISM VS BUDDHISM? —“We ought to discuss Buddhism (I am a Buddhist) and Propertarianism (I’ve discussed various matters with Curt Doolittle) in the future.”— Andrew Taylor by The Propertarian Institute It’s not complicated. Buddhism evolved out of hinduism’s ‘spiritualism’ and because of that started out very similar to stoicism but with less empirical names of phenomenon, and was largely a way of developing mindfulness by way of REJECTING the world. Stoicism began as self authoring and was very close to the then-greco-roman empirical method. It’s purpose was to facilitate ACTION in the world, despite our emotions. Stoicism was incorporated into christianity when the stoic schools were forcibly closed by the christian hordes. Buddhism was adopted widely but evolved into a religion rather than a discipline. This has to do largely with the means of spreading stoicism (middle class schools) vs the means of spreading buddhism (common folk under direction of independent teachers, and eventually out of political utility as in japan. ) Where buddhism is pacific and heroic, stoicism is martial and heroic. Otherwise they are similar. My suspicion is that stoicism would have turned into a religion like stoicism if it had not been suppressed by the jews, christians, and the byzantine (greek) re-conquest of rome.
