    Great interview with a magazine today

    Smart guy.

    What I heard was that no one wants to hear that the fix for Ukraine is to replace the judiciary and then use media and the law to prosecute and constrain corruption to the political sphere. That all governments are corrupt and that the only concern is to remove corruption from the economic sphere.

    That democracy is not a solution. That American conservatives respect rule of law and American progressives democracy and that these two are incompatible.

    That the only way to educate people is to use propaganda. That Ukraine needs a PBS or BBC to stay on message.

    Cheers.

    We gave our own women a choice.

    We have the rest of the world a choice.

    They chose poorly.

    The experiment failed.

    We can morally abandon hope.

    We can return to evidence.

    We can exchange but not convert.

    We can cooperate but not advance.

    We can use high trust internally but pragmatism with others.

    We can act morally but not optimistically.

    Either he wins and there are a few years of reprieve. Or we revolt and change it now. I mean. It’s that simple yes?

    Like I Said.

    University of Phoenix scam era is over.

    The only way to warranty diplomas is to make universities responsible for defaults, and to limit collection to prime, and pay out of payroll deductions.

    The worst thing in the world for us has been student loans.

    At the very worst, educational loans should come right out of the treasury at the rate of inflation. But to do that congress would have to be forbidden from any and all schemes to ‘give it away’.

    Universities don’t teach much material.

    They filter

    They train you in how to work in a disciplined and self regulated environment.

    But education? Not so much. And what they do teach is largely useless.

    You pay a lot of money to get in, and to survive a post-industrial boot camp.

    But that’s all that appears to be going on.

    Industry hires people who can survive the boot camp.

    I am not referring to calculative classes (stem).

    Most of university training is just as dogmatic in the self defense of the cathedral as was socialism or christianity before it.

    It’s nonsense.

    Return to Technical Colleges that train the working class.

    Invest in production that consumes the working class.

    Prohibit rent seeking by the working class.

    Teach STEM classes to the middle and upper middle class.

    Those of us who consume the great works dont need to pay anyone to help us. In fact, those people probably do more harm than good.

    But if we wish to study tha great works, and I certainly would, then the professor himself is the only Value, the good we obtain is intangible, and the university environment is probably counter-productive.

    If you want to create a condition of liberty, then use the law to eliminate what creates demand for the state. Statism = Failure of Law.

    Need to:

    1 – Make every university educator in the soft disciplines sign a warranty of restitution.

    2 – Hand control of all but physical plant to professors.

    3 – Separate teaching from researching P&L’s entirely.

    4 – Fund education as a payroll deduction from future earnings, against credit given by the treasury.

    Eliminate the moral hazard. Rig the incentives.

    I am also open to treating all arts and letters as recreational rather than professional training, and not covered by education credit.

    (Spoken as someone with a fine art and art history education who values it as priceless.)

    Moral authority to punish or kill speakers of untruths will be the most important reformation of religion since the protestant reformation.

    Politicians vote their obligations.

    You cannot fix this. Man follows incentives.

    Replace elected politicians with juries chosen by lot.

    Replace bills with petitions.
