  • Mindfulness of Asceticism

    It is hard to prosecute an ascetic since it is through property one is most easily prosecuted by the state. Living overseas in a private hotel, you realize the luxury of no driver’s license, no car, no insurance, no bills, no anything other than pay-as-you-go phone bill and monthly hotel bill. Living well without property is extremely cheap – as long as you have balance sheet wealth somewhere.

    —“Lending and interest are fine – but Curt Doolittle brings forward a salient observation – opportunity costing is the trade off in a truly free market. And what we have is a monopolistic “rat wheel” – without any opportunity cost, and with even less risk – it’s musical chairs, obfuscated by “nearly” impenetrable complexity.”—Rob Ellerman

  • Curt Doolittle updated his status. TERRITORIAL PROPERTY REQUIRES CAPITAL IMPROVE

    Curt Doolittle updated his status.

    TERRITORIAL PROPERTY REQUIRES CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS

    As I’ve argued in my “Ancestral Lands” video, Lands belongs to those who improve it (invest in it), not those who merely make use of it – that’s true of all property. Possession is just possession. Property is the result of transformation (investment).

    Typically (historically) monuments and physical infrastructure determine ownership (property).

    It’s not clear why Boer conquest of SA territory is different from Bantu conquest of Khoi and San territory – except that the investment has been profoundly more effective – there wasn’t any before the Boers. None.

    It’s not clear that the slaughter of south african whites is anything more than a repetition of the past slaughter of african tribes by one another.

    My prescription is that if there is evidence of fighting, the separation is the only solution.

    I would prefer africa for africans and europe for europeans at least until we are at demographic, social and economic parity. But some people want globalization where none of us is safe from competitors.

    There is a minimum difference in distribution of ability, knowledge and custom that is necessary for peaceful cooperation. Beyond that, then one group must oppress or kill the other.

    And that is the worst of all possible solutions.

  • We Will Destroy Them Forever

    We are going to destroy them you know: 1) Reinforce Trademarks, Eliminate Copyrights and Drastically limit patents. 2) Outlaw lying in the commons by involuntary liability and warranty of words. 3) De-financialize the credit system and eliminate consumer interest on consumer capital assets (residences and appliances and autos). 4) Eliminate the transportability (escape) of debt instruments while institutionalize the rights to income from it. 5) Reform shareholder laws to prevent hostile takeovers, and to equalize risk and exit. 6) Restructure taxation rates to reflect risk. Eliminate double taxation of dividends. This will have the effect of destroying nearly all manipulation of the population and all rent seeking. This will be the greatest competitive advantage since the invention of fiat credit. It means that there are no rents that allow you to escape the market – anywhere. Even at scale. Taxes for entrepreneurs, particularly small and medium businesses will nearly disappear. Huge reallocation of intellectual capital. Huge reduction in propaganda. Huge temporary expansion of courts and litigation until enough law accumulates on the books. STARVE THE BEAST.
