    That’s where I am too. There is no mechanism for a state to go bankrupt and we are best off testing and possibly creating that possibility in federal law. This state is in even worse condition than Illinois, we just don’t have our MANY bad cities in the news as much as Chicago.

    @BWY1994 @NedLamont State debt per person $23k, population decline esp. high earners fleeing, state economy has contracted in real terms since 2010. Pension and interest expense, already 31% of the budget, will quadruple over the next decade. CT is broke and in a death spiral unless we elect Bob

    BRITISH VS AMERICAN LEGAL SYSTEMS

    I think the open question is between the british model of professional litigators of the court, and professional advocates for the individual, and the american model without the intermediary position.

    It is much harder to ‘pull bullshit’ in court in the british model. It is much easier to ‘pull bullshit’ in legislation in the british model. I am not yet sure if the house of lords is superior to the supreme court or not, but there is good reason to think it might be. Or, that the lords AND a supreme court would be superior to either condition.

    American constitution is better given the fact that our founding documents (declaration, constitution, bill of rights) are written, and consistent, if not as consistent as we could make them today – and aside from the fact that one requires all three documents to make sense of the constitution or the bill of rights becuase the natural law of reciprocity is not stated, and instead states men are equal rather than must be equal for the law of reciprocity (natural law) to fulfill it’s purpose of harmony.

    Conversely, the american model is far more common law (meaning permissive – less regulation) than the british model (meaning impermissive – more regulation).

    So this means that while americans have a superior juridical presumption (optimistic leading to more innovation, but more court disputes to resolve) while the british have less litigation to resolve because of higher regulation. I think the impact on the cultures is vast and the regulation culture in the uk has led to the feminization of the british male in less than eighty years.

    The optimum is probably the mixture of the two systems, with near zero regulation in america, and adding the intermediary between the lawyer and the court so that less nonsense occurs in court.

    It can be embarrasing to listen to young lawyers speak for their clients in court, rather than tell them “there is no fking way this is goonna fly so I won’t take your money”.

  • CAN SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS BY MATURING POST HASTE by Brandon Hayes [Stop making just

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeYR0H3DzXgWE CAN SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS BY MATURING POST HASTE

    by Brandon Hayes

    [Stop making justificatory arguments about feelings]

    The convergence points of the brightest minds are obvious to anyone that is looking (an example below):

    —“It’s the women who are going to stand-up to the women who are just trying to destroy conversation; and I think that that is something where, Jordan has talked about it; none of the men want to make this argument, it would be better optically if it were women saying “Hey, some of us are out of line! this is too much and it’s too aggressive and you can’t say “mansplaining” about EVERYTHING.” — Eric Weinstein

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeYR0H3DzXg

    ———–

    “WHY DO WOMEN ENGAGE IN NAXALT?”

    —“Question – why do women hate generalizations more than men? Women far more inclined to say “yes but not all X are like that!”, where as men get the idea that trends exist, even if some individuals are outliers to this trend. Is it to do with the risk or social ostracism or one of these female power plays?”— A Friend

    It’s not complicated:

    Herd Instinct: Fear of being ostracized, ‘left behind’, or ‘left out of resource consumption’, or having her children face the same, because despite their children’s empirical value to the tribe,women want their children to have the best opportunities for social, economic, and reproductive success.

    Men think of the tribe (generalization) women think of themselves (solipsism) and their offspring (individualism).

    Female Herd “who will be harmed by this truth”,

    -vs-

    Male Pack “what opportunity can be seized by this truth”

    Hence why monogamy was a compromise that succeeded by dividing labor, and while no one had perfection each person had a ‘chance’ of benefitting from the division of labor between the genders.

    The question is, now that women are at least marginally as capable in the workforce within the boundaries of the majority of jobs ‘in the middle’ (easy jobs), we are returning to serial marriage, or single motherhood (maternalism).

    To men, everything is a distribution (bell curve). To women everything is a flat line in the making.

    – Curt Doolittle

    —-

    We ought not destroy competing packs to benefit the herds. Herds can’t respond efficiently to rapidly changing environments; what you get instead of problem solving is panic.

    Panic among animals shortens their time horizons (they make quicker decisions less thought through) for shorter term gains. This mistake accumulates until the day of reckoning comes about. The day all of your “not planning for the future” comes back to haunt you.

    Strong feelings are not the equivalent to being correct. There isn’t a feel good substitute for truth; no matter how much we’d like there to be!

The only solution to the conflict is devolution of the federal government and restoration of the constitution as a federation between the states, limited in services to the resolution of disputes over property between states. Then all of us can create the states we want with the norms and commons we want, and no majority can be used to oppress any other across states.We should start spreading the word that SHUTDOWN achieves every condition necessary for a revolution and consequent civil war, and as such we must do everything possible to ensure Trump doesn’t fold on the wall, and shuts the government down.

  • “Slaughter your sacred cows because the growing market demand is for rule of law

    —“Slaughter your sacred cows because the growing market demand is for rule of law by natural law, reciprocity, order, a competent militia willing to implement incremental suppression of parasitism, and nature (god). The gods (forces of nature) can no longer tolerate lies (superstition, ignorance, bias, deceit, wishful thinking, pseudoscience, parasitism, and theft). Religion is for peasants, truth is for sovereign men and the demand for them is growing.”— Curtus Maximus (who’s real name i do not know)
