    I registered the propertarian domains and trademarks for a reason: to differentiate between empty moralism of Rothbardian aggression, and the rational and empirical dependence exclusively upon property. 🙂

    Most friends Follow Eli Harman and now probably ought to watch Paul Bakhmut.

    Contrary to Kinsella’s fallacy, critique and smokescreen nonsense, that Propertarian and Aristocratic Egalitarian arguments are incomprehensible, these two guys who pretty much have it down. And they are getting better by the day.

    Gotta’ get Chris Cantwell on board eventually. But he might not be up for the rigor. He does well in the moral, psychological and utilitarian end of the spectrum already.

    We will see. 😉

    Dragging poor souls out of the fallacy of moral intuition one at a time.

    Someone has to do it. 😉

    We are making progress.

    Argument is an art.

    😉

    Eli On Monarchy As The Golden Mean

    —“Ancap in theory resolves to monarchy in practice, because you can’t prevent property from becoming unequally distributed. My property, my rules: equals monarchy.

    The only question is one of scale, and when economies of scale are likely to be balanced by the diseconomies. Large landlords are able to suppress free-riding among their tenants and provide them with public goods that they can’t produce as independent, sovereign, small landowners. But very large landlords are subject to knowledge and incentive problems that make it increasingly unlikely that they actually will.

    There’s not really a “legitimacy” issue. All property originates in conquest. Original appropriation, expropriation, they’re just variations on a theme. Fencing off unowned land, formerly free for use by all, and announcing, henceforth, any trespass will be subject to retaliatory violence is inherently an act of aggression.

    Once property is owned, and markets for its transfer exist, there’s no reason not to expect it to be consolidated into relatively few hands, and many reasons to suppose that it will be. The market will demand lords. And the market will provide.”—

    PROPERTY RIGHTS QUESTION?

    Can anyone explain to me why we assume that we have a right to anticipated natural rates of interest? In other words, why is non-diluted money-proper (commodity money, private money or fiat money), and the expansion of purchasing power of such money, due to increases in demand, a property right?

    (Smart people only please. ie: no empty moralisms.)

    I might be loopy on asthma meds right now but I am trying to resolve this question once and for all. And I can’t find a reason, stated as property rights, why we have the right to privatize increases in value of money, or to profit from the shortage of money.

    Thanks

    Reading more on marriage. Most of it weak. Anthropologists should understand property as the easy solution to conflict.

    But its pretty clear to me that in the current era, the best life men can have is to live with five other guys, get a housekeeper you treat with motherly respect, and accumulate your wealth while treating females as opportunistic entertainment.

    This suits the feminists who see males as extraneous and marriage a prison. But it is a prison for males. It all but guarantees old age poverty, and midlife depression.

    The family man as a universal aspiration was a recent invention.

    Our quality of life drops dramatically. Early marriage is for fearful betas.

    Women are terribly expensive under feminism. So the only rational choice is equality of selfishness.

    Revel in it. Marry late. Mary wealthy. And with full offshore protections. And maintain your walkaway power.

    If you desire children, understand that at the moment if conception the state considers you a slave.

    The only solution is to keep the home fully leveraged, and your savings offshore.

  • PITIFUL RETIREMENT AND SINGLE PARENTHOOD IN EXCHANGE FOR GENOCIDE AND CULUTURECI

    PITIFUL RETIREMENT AND SINGLE PARENTHOOD IN EXCHANGE FOR GENOCIDE AND CULUTURECIDE

    We can construct equal property rights adjudicable under the law. We can construct redistribution programs among near kin, nor extend redistribution to non-kin. And we cannot construct equality of outcome. If we do, we will merely be conquered (as we are being) by those that do not practice such equalitarianism. Early retirement is too high a cost of genocide. That is the bargain the left is offering us. Genocide and culturecide in exchange for elder comfort instead of a life of savings and elder consumption. The only growth that is meaningful is the increase in productivity independent of the increase in consumption due to expansion of population.

    You cannot cheat physics in the long run.

  • Free Riding Isn't An Exception, It's the Rule.

    FREE RIDING IS NOT AN EXCEPTION IT IS THE RULE. IT IS NATURAL TO MAN. PROPERTY IS THE EXCEPTION. ITS UNNATURAL. AND CREATING THE INSTITUTIONAL HABIT OF PRIVATE PROPERTY IS AN ACTIVE NOT PASSIVE PROJECT. [Y]a’ gotta’ understand: aristocracy is an activist form of defense. We evolved in a state of pervasive free riding. To create the institution of Property, you must deny people access to the fruits of your efforts except by voluntary exchange. To deny them access, you must use violence. You must first stop existing free riding. Then you must prevent future free riding. You cannot obtain liberty by pacifism, or reaction alone. Property requires activism. Because aggression against your property: the attempt to free ride upon your efforts, is not an exception – it is the RULE. Sorry. Aristocracy of the willing, for the willing.
