    “We further show that these ancient Icelanders are markedly more similar to their source populations in Scandinavia and the British-Irish Isles than to contemporary Icelanders, who have been shaped by 1100 years of extensive genetic drift. “

  • “BOOK” ENDING THE JEWISH AUSTRIAN (MISESIAN-ROTHBARDIAN) PSEUDOSCIENCE This ‘art

    https://propertarianism.com/2018/05/01/economic-intuitionism-or-scientific-praxeology/THE “BOOK” ENDING THE JEWISH AUSTRIAN (MISESIAN-ROTHBARDIAN) PSEUDOSCIENCE

    This ‘article’ is 21K words, or approximately an 80 page book, on ‘Correcting’ the Misesian (Jewish) wing, of the ‘Austrian'(Mengerian) school. It ‘corrects’ Mises, Rothbard, and Hoppe – and indirectly explains Hayek.

    I’ve put it into book form but i can’t afford to edit it and release it because my other projects take precedence.

    There are a total of 200 pages or so in the book, which includes ideas from other posts on my site. However, for the truly interested party, the entire argument is in that shorter version.

    Um, in simple terms, Just as Marxism, Libertarianism, Neoconservatism, Feminism, and Postmodernism (as well as the abrahamic religions) are elaborate sophisms, Misesian Economics consist of a single valuable insight (operationalism), made useless by a sea of sophisms.

    I’m aware that probably only Hoppe can debate me at this level, but someone with MA or PhD in the philosophy of science should be able to keep up. If you are deeply enough involved in libertarian theory it may help you quite a bit transition.

    But remember that the reason you are susceptible to rothbardianism is that you are suggestible. There are very few of us who are not suggestible (meaning we have very high agency.)

  • READ JUST ONE PAPER BY POPPER, HAYEK, MISES, AND TURING BEFORE CHOMSKY – OR YOU

    READ JUST ONE PAPER BY POPPER, HAYEK, MISES, AND TURING BEFORE CHOMSKY – OR YOU WILL MISS THE POINT.

    Understand that Chomsky applied Turing to Grammar (language). That’s his insight. Just as Popper really needed to produce one paper (sources of knowledge and ignorance), Hayek One Paper (uses of knowledge in society), Mises (economic calculation), Turing (turing machine recursive computation), Chomsky produced one paper (Grammar). Most of this occurred in the pre-postmodernist period prior to 1960. We have been fighting pseudoscience since then, for the simple reason that universities could sell shit courses to proles and in doing so finance postmodern propaganda through tuition-debt, and the burning of intergenerational savings (Retirement Savings) as tuition fees. This is the most suicidal economic set of polities in western history other than perhaps the selling of indulgences. Once we further understand that universities do not teach but simply filter in, and out, we realize how catastrophic this entire state-propaganda driven experiment has been. Instead we should put the vast majority of people to work in part time apprenticeship (entry level work) by age 12-14, and limit university training to those forms of calculation (STEM) that cannot be learned until the brains are more fully matured.

    EVERYTHING IS REDUCIBLE TO CALCULATION AT DEGREES OF PRECISION AND DEGREES OF AGENCY.

    Um. Excuse me. Let me help you. There is no ‘bulletproof’ backpack or body armor. Rifle bullets go thru body armor, walls, steel, concrete, trees. There is nothing that a series of bullets will not penetrate. The only solution is armed men with zero tolerance, and return to exhaustive exercise, and aggressive discipline including corporal punishment in the schools.

    ONCE YOU SEE IT YOU CAN’T UNSEE IT

    1 ) Via Positiva vs Via Negativa

    2 ) Additive vs Subtractive

    3 ) Reason vs Science

    4 ) Logic vs Correspondence

    5 ) Rationalism vs Empiricism

    6 ) Justification vs Falsification

    7 ) (((Pilpul vs Critique)))

    8 ) (((Marxism))) vs Postmodernism

    9 ) (((Abrahamism))) vs Natural Law

    10) Conflation vs Deconflation

    11) Ambiguation vs Disambiguation

    It’s:

    Pilpul Via-Positiva Justification (deception)

    -vs-

    Critique via Negativa Falsification (deception).

    The invention of lying through loading, framing, overloading,

    and suggestion under cover of appeals to reasonableness,

    rather than Truth.

  • The primary advocate of the saltwater/freshwater distinction is Krugman/DeLong/S

    The primary advocate of the saltwater/freshwater distinction is Krugman/DeLong/Stiglitz; the Austrian school is still conflated between Mengerian (empirical) and misesian (rationalist).The classicals (mostly historians), and the mathematicians (mostly 20thc) rarely are mentioned.
