  • Tucker as a Rationalist In The Age of Science

    [N]ote: I’m not anti-Tucker. I see him as a very good man with good intentions but part of a prior generation’s thinking whose time has long passed, and methods have long failed. But I have no reason to believe that he is anything other than a good man with good intentions. I like him quite a bit and always have.

    —“The media is a business meaning that they can’t coerce you, tax you, bomb you, deport you, kill you. All they can do is write articles and make shows that sell advertising. And you are willing to celebrate a would-be dictator because he foils some reporters???”—Jeffrey A. Tucker

    (a) Regarding the media, are you rationalizing what the media can do, or are you relying upon empirical evidence of what the media can do? Because the evidence is that they create opinion in sufficient voters to do precisely what you say they cannot. (b) I have a hard time seeing the difference between the current president and a trump presidency or any other presidency in the absence of rule of law. And given the evidence of (a), its logical to prefer a president who will continue to undermine (a). Liberty is produced by rule of law(universal application) demanding the total prohibition on parasitism(imposition of costs) in the private (morality) and public (liberty) spheres of action, constructed by individual enforcement of norms, individual enforcement of law under universal standing, organized enforcement of the law under an independent judiciary, and organized prevention of usurpation of that law by the militia. And liberty is (again, empirically not just rationally) a preference of and only of a limited number of individuals in limited family structures, with limited cultural traditions, with limited legal traditions. All others systematically seek to undermine it in every polity on earth. Man was not kept down and oppressed by his betters. Man was incrementally civilized by his betters, much against his will. He was forced to abandon murder, violence, theft, fraud, fraud by asymmetry, fraud by indirection, fraud by obscurantism, free riding, privatization of commons, socialization of losses, conspiracy, conversion, immigration, war, and conquest. By being forced to abandon all unproductive and parasitic actions, the only venue left for man was the burden of participation in the market through productive, fully informed, voluntary exchange free of imposition of cost by externality. But the arts of production are difficult, and the arts of lying, defrauding, cheating, stealing, blackmailing, free riding, privatization of commons, socialization of losses, conspiracy are much easier. Liberty requires meritocracy and meritocracy is not a matter of belief it is a mater of ability. Genes matter. Open immigration is empirically destructive. While we can estimate the decline in anglo intelligence since 1850, we can measure the decline in French intelligence due to immigration just since 1950. The Flynn effect can be reversed through degradation of the gene pool. It is the gene pool that establishes the degree of liberty, the degree of truth telling, the degree of productivity, the norms and traditions of a polity. It is a romantic amateurism to pursue liberty as a philosophical choice – a religion or cult – versus an empirical problem to be solved. The age of rationalization has ended just as the age of mysticism ended. The current era is one of science: requiring both internal consistency(logical and rational) and external correspondence(empirical) as well as existentially possible (operationally articulable) and morality (voluntary transfers) bounded by full accounting (of all costs to all capital) and parsimony (defined limits of falsification). Time for the adult version of liberty: Aristocratic(meritocratic) Egalitarian(meritocratic) Eugenic(meritocratic) Nomocracy(rule of law) assisted by a market for the production of commons using the exception of legal dissent, rather than the requirement of universal assent by majority rule. Trump is a tool of progress. That is all. Liberty requires progress. Moreover it requires we repress the rates of reproduction of the underclasses who will not and cannot participate in liberty.

    LIBERTARIAN POLICY IS TACTICAL AND NECESSARY BUT LIBERTARIAN CANDIDATES FOR THE PRESIDENCY ARE CAPABLE ONLY OF THREATENING THE DOMINANT OR OPPOSITION PARTY, NOT WINNING.

    Libertarian party is dead. Current emerging strategy is that the democratic party is too dependent upon marginal groups and women and that the middle class and working class can be brought into the republican party. There is no room for a libertarian (entrepreneurial party) until we eliminate the FPTP problem in the constitution. Pending a civil war there will be no addition or subtraction of parties, only a DOMINANT PARTY and an OPPOSITION PARTY. The primary value of third parties is to threaten dominant and opposition parties if they fail to accommodate groups that early candidates successfully enfranchise. Ron Paul failed and he failed for good reasons: foreign policy, and open borders. Rand Paul fares no better.

    At present democratic party = third worlders and single women, republican party=whites. In other words democrat=non-nuclear family, and republican=nuclear family.

    (( REPLY WAS A GIF OF FEMALE SAYING “WHATEVER” ))

    I thought we left gossiping, rallying, and shaming to the postmoderns. 🙂 Non arguments are for leftists and teenage girls.

    If you want comment on your policy that’s something I support. The question isn’t whether your libertarian policy, or anyone else’s is superior to social democratic policy. Its whether it is possible for a third party under FPTP to do other than disempower either the dominant or opposition party.

    The only possibility is to rase enough interest in one or two key policy improvements that cannot be appropriated and to force their appropriation by one of the major parties, or to force them to lose an election because of it.

    Taxes aren’t even on radar. Immigration is.

    But then, I’m not paid to be your advisor.

    And, obviously whomever your paying isn’t really up to the job. Or you would get airplay.

    THE MULTITUDE OF LUDDISMS WE CALL POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY

    I am beginning to see Rothbardian Libertinism, if not Puritanism, Socialism and Communism, as intellectually limited failures of maturity. They’re all forms of Luddism. They are failures to innovate to adapt to changes in scale.

    Just as the 20th century thinkers failed to grasp the problem of existential possibility (operationalism and intuitionism) and of criticism over justification (morality and contract over science and truth), we failed to evolve government to adapt to the new scale.

    Worse, we were so temporarily rich in the west due to the invention of industrial revolution, that we could afford a century of folly.

    Markets in everything. There is no common good. There are only many theoretical goods waiting to be discovered, exploited, and abandoned in the face of newly invented goods.

I love my race and my kin and my culture because all men must love their tribe for it to persist in the great climb to godhood.

It is counter rational, It is pseudoscientific. It is a lie. Plain and simple. There is a limited value to cultural assimilation of invention, and cultural assimilation of the best most aristocratic genes. Everything else is pollution of the genetic, normative, and material economies. It’s not subjective opinion but fact. So sorry if I am not a racist in the sense that I hate others. I merely seek an institutional solution whereupon on group CANNOT PREY UPON another, and must survive by merit only. I am not even so much of a separatist as requiring full assimilation in exchange for benefitting from a superior commons. It doesn’t help me or us if you whine about others. It helps if you get up and demonstrate, or punish, or even kill those who allow others to conquer us. But it does nothing to criticize others for wanting a better life at our expense.

    NO AUTHORITIES, NO MONOPOLIES. ONLY MARKETS

    An old friend from Ottawa Canada who I both respect and like very much, inspired me to explain my research program in contextual terms. I think it’s worth repeating.

    —” I should say that I still view your politics, views on society, and race to be profound anathema to everything I believe in – but I miss the challenges you presented too.”—

    You see, I sympathize with moral men, seeking to do good, from any point of the political compass, any tribe, any race. I just prefer that we seek to find voluntary means of voluntary exchange to construct commons, rather than to find authoritarian monopolies with which to construct commons. Any ideology under majoritarian rule is by definition an authoritarian position that advances one’s interests against those of others. I don’t seek my authority, any one else’s, nor to tolerate the authority of others.

    Hence my research program goals:



    I do my job. It’s only by the truth that we create a market for compromise between reproductive strategies, that is free of fraud.

    To a very large degree, that is what I see myself engaged in the process of doing: creating a formal logic of social science independent of experiential valuation – a valuation that is nothing more than a measure of agreement or disagreement with reproductive strategy over which we have little or no control, and even less influence.

    I know it is easy to look at my contrarianism as an appeal for an opposite position – but I am the opposite of a totalitarian – in fact, I seek to construct a market for the exchange of commons that forces compromises and exchanges rather than the current continuous reinforcement of extremes that is caused by majoritarian monopoly representative democracy. I seek to restore a market of exchanges between the classes that existed prior to classical liberalism.

    Moreover, the hard right has picked up on my work and is running with it. And the truth is, they are fine with the compromise. What they are not fine with is a perpetuation of postmodern propaganda and lying, cultural conquest, genocide of their people, and a second conversion of rome to a second pseudoscientific rather than mystical christianity.

    So my “no more lies” is a campaign for ending a century and a half of lying, propaganda, and pseudoscience. And restoring rule of law, a market for commons, and the norm of truth telling.

    Which, is somewhat difficult of a position to oppose without justifying nearly any action no matter how extreme of one’s opposition.
