  • The Academy Like Hollywood Produces Worse Work Products than Individual Craftsman in Either Industry

    Um. helps to keep in mind that the academy provides funding for thought and obviously subsidizes bad thought. Whereas thought leadership in history did not come from the academy but from wealth sufficient for literacy and time for study. In other words, it is not clear that the academy produces better intellectual work products than individual craftsmen, any more than Hollywood produces better art products than individual craftsmen. And the evidence appears overwhelmingly the opposite: that the academy, entertainment industry, media, and democratic state, produce higher volumes of bad quality everything.

  • “So, every penny that goes to an immigrant, five pennies don’t go to the native

    —“So, every penny that goes to an immigrant, five pennies don’t go to the native poor. 1 penny for the immigrant, 4 pennies for the rich. Who should you hate more, someone who stole 4 pennies from you or someone who happened to get one penny?”— a friend False dichotomy. Return the immigrant. Punish the businessperson for hiring him. Let market push up wages due to labor shortages. Redistribute liquidity directly to consumers, bypassing the financial sector and the interest it collects for that distribution. You have to do all of those things to eliminate wage income disparities while at the same time preserving incentives, the ability to organized production, distribution, and trade through the pricing system, and neutralize international differences in purchasing power parity. People in general have zero comprehension of economics.

    Every penny that goes to an immigrant doesn’t go to a the millions of elderly. Every job that goes to an immigrant and not to a child, only increases the sense of entitlement.

  • Why We Get It Wrong: ‘Ableness and Agency’

    That’s why we always get it wrong: only SOME of us want sovereignty, liberty, and freedom. Most all humans instead want security and subsidy. Which is ok. As long as they don’t have say in anything.
