    I love sitting in Church. I love singing in church. I love dressing up for church. But, can you imagine if instead of preaching babylonian mysticism and socialist propaganda, the ‘priest’ gave lessons in history that related to today, and posed questions about what we should do? What if instead of one-ness, we heard from the four corners of the reproductive distribution? Telling stories of the lives of heroes and saints?

    Meaning:

    1 Aristocracy, military, militia, and law.

    2 Treasury, finance, banking, entrepreneurship

    3 Science, Technology, Craftsmanship and Labor

    4 The Commons, Family, Nurture, Medicine

    Now, a church or temple should always speak in historical analogy. Never directly addressing the current era, and drawing the mind’s eye across the centuries.

    That is a church I would love to go to: one I would learn from from.

    (BTW – the whole catholic, sit, kneel, stand thing. I’ve been doing it all my life and I still have no idea when we are supposed to do each. And I hate the whole vatican ii thing. I hate the shake-hands thing. It was cool before. I remember it. I thought the hippies had taken over the church. It seemed ‘sacrilegious’. Because it was.)

    REFORMATION OF THE STUDENT LOAN SYSTEM

    The solution I usually advocate, given what I have learned both from Sowell’s work and the evidence coming in over the past decade, is first, that we should force universities to obtain payment as a deduction from payroll over some number of years, at a maximum of ten percent – with the treasury providing the loans. And in doing so require that administration costs are under twenty percent, and that all increases in their endowments come from contributions.

    Secondly we must separate graduate school research faculty from undergraduate teaching faculty. Without this structure the perverse incentives of the Academy/State/Media complex will persist in privatizing vast amounts of social wealth without warranty of future value.

    The Academy is the largest industry not required to provide warranty on basic goods and services. And like any business that can circumvent warranty, it does so profligately.

    ITS POSSIBLE TO BREAK THE BIG FINANCIAL HOUSES

    Contrary to common argument, it is trivially easy to break the big finance houses.

    But all those rent seekers both in finance and government could no longer seek rents.

    This is why we will require revolution. It is not possible to replace those rents and those incentives.

    For us to win they must lose.

    Which is enough incentive for me.

    THE JUSTIFICATION FOR OUR REVOLUTION.

    As a philosopher I don’t have to fantasize – I try to understand and describe causes. Propertarianism is descriptive.

    That is because, like all philosophers who bridge one era and the next, it is from decline and failure that we can determine our prior successes.

    From industrial decline we see medieval and ancient success.

    And then we describe and outlaw the evils of the prior era that caused us to lose our way.

    I will outlaw deceit – Anglo, German and Jewish.

    I will incrementally increase the suppression of new modes of parasitism.

    Western philosophy is expressed as law. Everything else is expressed as either religion or aesthetics.

    And with that increase in suppression of deceit, we will transform the world as greatly as the transformation from mysticism to moralism, moralism to rationalism, rationalism to science.

    Because we will render ethics and politics as science for the fist time in human history.

    If that isn’t a profound ambition sufficient to justify our revolution then I do not know what else could be.

    https://act.eff.org/action/dear-facebook-authentic-names-are-authentically-dangerous-for-your-usersSIGN PETITION TO FIX AUTHENTIC NAME POLICY

    I have no problem requiring that you register your account with a real name, as long as its not visible to other users, and Facebook provides the ability to use an alias, and that aliases are ‘flagged’ as aliases. (not that most of us need such things).

    But requiring people to use real names in public opens non-conformists to violence, harassment, intimidation and employment persecution and bias.

    And so I am against the real name policy and in favor of the ‘nickname’ policy.

    I use my real name everywhere. But I am successful and independent; I live free of western government oppression; and my arguments are also scientific. And scientific arguments are very different from ideological arguments, and gossip (criticism).

    So I suggest you sign this on behalf of the people who are victims of the less savory elements of our society. (the left)

  • Politicians Are and Unnecessary Evil

    [W]e no longer need politicians and representatives, and no longer need democratic assent to pass something, and to divide a budget equally, and to vote with money where it is required. In fact, all politicians do is to create hazards. So given that distance no longer impacts ability to cooperate and communicate in real time; and given that concentration of politicians in one place merely creates a perfect environment for lobbying and corruption; and given that running for office produces nothing but negative externalities exacerbating corruption; it seems much wiser to let anyone post proposals (contracts), to reject any proposal of involuntary transfer(propertarianism), to hold debates in public over them with the best public intellectuals contributing to the discourse; to require truthful speech in such deliberation (testimonialism), and to select a jury by lot from each house to spend those budgets, and enter into those contracts. Politicians are an unnecessary evil in a world of instantaneous communication.
