  • The Fallacy Of Free Trade Absolutism

    (very important piece) (this will ruffle some feathers) [T]he three means of coercion can be used for good or ill. 1) Violence can be used to create property rights and prosperity or it can be used to conduct parasitism predation and destruction. 2) Gossip can be used to reward contributors to the commons with opportunity for cooperation and mates, or it can be used to lie, cheat, deceive, rally, shame, and justify parasitism, or instill violence. 3) Trade can be used to increase prosperity for all by accumulating genetic, knowledge, physical and institutional capital, or to destroy the either the producer’s or the consumer’s economy by causing the depreciation of genetic, knowledge, physical, and institutional capital. Trade is no more an INTRINSIC good, than is violence or gossip. That is the end of it. Trade is nor more a good than violence or gossip. The only determinant of the morality or immorality of trade is whether capital is accumulated or destroyed in the process of production, distribution, trade and consumption, and whether the transfers were voluntary. ***This is what I call the requirement for “full accounting” in any truthful (moral) argument. Without full accounting someone is undoubtably lying. General rules expressed without limits are used as means of suggestion by which to deceive the altruistic mind. Free Trade is as much a folly as Autarky. Free Trade is yet another cosmopolitanism by which to rely on suggestion in order to conduct parasitism.*** This argument is finished. Cosmopolitan Libertarian absolutism is finished. Libertine libertarianism is finished. It is a dead ideology. I have killed it – forever. And I have demonstrated as thoroughly as any man can, that the only possible liberty from which we obtain our prosperity is TRUTHFUL COOPERATION: The productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange of property-en-toto, free of imposition of costs by externality, wherein our statements survive tests of identity (non conflation), internal, consistency, external correspondence, existential possibility, parsimony, limits, full accounting, and voluntary exchange. Children require virtue ethics, because they can but imitate. The young require rule ethics because they lack experience. The adult requires outcome ethics because otherwise he can use rules to obscure his frauds. Any ethical claim must hold to all THREE forms of ethic: a) virtue: should every man do this, the outcome would be moral b) rule: should every man obey this rule, the outcome would be moral. c) outcome: should every man do this, the outcome would be moral. It is not that one ethical method supersedes any other. It is that we can only expect the child to imitate, the young to obey rules, and the old to obey experience. As such we tolerate greater error from the child, than the young, and least from the experienced. It is not that any ethical method produces greater results. It is that each method requires making full use of the knowledge that each actor possesses, and that as long as he acts according to those principles, that we forgive him for his failures.

  • Capitalism And The Sword

    [C]apitalism exists for the bourgeoise class only because liberty was constructed by the martial class. Period. Violence creates property. Property creates prosperity. Prosperity makes charity possible. WE ARE THE FOUNDATION. ALL OF CONSEQUENCE FOLLOWS We either form a wall and do not break, or there is not capitalism, prosperity and charity.

    1. ORDER: VIOLENCE IS THE FIRST WEALTH WE INVEST.
    2. PRODUCTION: CAPITALISM IS ONE OF THE INVESTMENTS WE CAN MAKE.
    3. CHARITY: REDISTRIBUTION IS A LUXURY WE CAN CHOOSE TO AFFORD.
    It’s time to water the tree of liberty with a little blood.

  • Truth is Expensive, But The Returns Warrant It, and Morality Demands It

    [I]t was very expensive to create settlements by prohibiting predation by the development of armies and professional warriors. But we obtained the ability to accumulate capital, and to create a division of labor. It was very expensive to create property rights by prohibiting parasitism through law and indoctrination. But we obtained the ability to create a market, money, and prices. It was very expensive to create literacy by creating printing and education. But we dramatically expanded human productivity, and demonstrated intelligence. It was very expensive to create scientific thought through a century of education. But we dramatically reduced transaction costs, increased human productivity, and increased demonstrated intelligence. It will be equally expensive to create TRUTHFULNESS – or, perhaps, restore truthfulness to the scientific era. And the gains will will obtain from truthfulness will be equal to if not surpass the gains we obtained from literacy. A truthful world is as hard for us to imagine as a scientific world was for religio-rationalists to imagine, as it was for the pre-literate to imagine the literate, as it was for the barbaric to imagine the urban. That something is an expensive commons to produce is not a criticism. It is a question of returns. Mankind must eventually make this transition. We can do it now, and free ourselves of the threats to our civilization – the civilization that invented truth. Or we can experience a peak beyond which we fail to pass, as did the Greeks and the Romans. As did the Byzantines and Persians. As did the Austrians and Spanish. As did the French and German. And let our civilization pass from this earth – disappearing, and becoming subject to peoples more barbaric than we. I am willing to die to save my civilization, my race, my people from another dark age, and to instead transform mankind from the merely rational and scientific to the truthful stage of evolution. This isn’t a cost I expect everyone to agree to bear. But it is a cost I know many of us are willing to bear – and to bear gladly and heroically. We can purge all forms of lies from this earth. And in doing so, transform man into gods. For what is a god but a wielder of truth? And what is a devil, but a wielder of error, bias, wishful thinking, and deceit?

    @curtdoolittle If immorality is more fruitfully incentivized than morality then it’s likely men will defect, given an imperfect world.

    FWIW: Anarchy = Rule of Law(“Nomocracy”). Rule of law, under natural law, meaning the necessity of property rights, creates moral order. Anarchy is an absence of authority that retains decidability over rule of law. Unfortunately, the difference between anarchism and nomocracy is in the production of commons. The west’s competitive advantage is high trust enables the competitive construction of commons. So anarchism is less defensible from conquest than nomocracy. For this reason, nomocracy may be anarchic, but it is also survivable, where anarchy may or many not be nomocratic, and cannot survive competition. Rule of law is to anarchy as guns germs and steel are to luddites.
