  • On baiting into moral hazards

    —“Can anyone elaborate on the baiting into moral hazards via pilpul please? Is that to use philosophy and morality as an argument as opposed to utility, reciprocity based on empirical?”—

    0) A woman implies access to friendship, affection, or sex, which she will never deliver. 1) I promise you life after death if you obey and undermine the upper classes. (abrahamism) 2) I promise you power and equality if you undermine the political system (marx) 3) I promise you equality if you undermine men (feminism) 4) I promise you status if you undermine the status hierarchy (postmodernism) 5) I lend you money at usurious prices that will entrap you. 6) I lend you money or extend you credit to gamble. 7) I lend you money or extend you credit to buy alcohol or drugs. 8) I appeal to your morality and pass the hart cellar immigration act. How long do you want this list to go on? Because those are just the easy ones. These are all lies that bait you into hazard (risk and loss).

  • (b) rule of law and involuntary warranty must be extended from commercial goods

    (b) rule of law and involuntary warranty must be extended from commercial goods and services to all information in the marketplace. yes that’s right. We gave license to people to not warranty their words in the 20th, and that’s the reason we are where we are today. Period.

    @clairlemon So let me reduce Taleb’s life’s work as an essayist in ridicule of western civilization to its foundations: (a) Mandelbrot was right that the stock market is just noise so w/o inside information just invest in funds. … (and here comes the big one) …

    TRAINING THE MORAL INTUITION

    I suppose that like many people, you assume man is moral, rather than amoral – merely choosing between the moral and immoral as incentives provide.

    I don’t know what lawful means, but unaccountability, lack of warranty and liability, is just free riding on risk born by others. As such it’s a violation of reciprocity.

    Most of my work is operationalizing law and government so that there are no conditions that lack accountability – meaning warranty and liability.

    @fryskefilosoof Well we are all liable for the contracts we make on behalf of others, so it’s not so much deposing the government as requiring signatories tot he contract warranty it (and remain liable for it) for the duration of its cause and consequence.
