SHARING MATTERS. I don’t promote. Everything we do is through word of mouth. And you are the means by which we introduce others to truth, natural law and an institutional solution to our conflict. -Thanks.

THE RIGHT IS SIMPLE BECAUSE TRUTH IS SIMPLE
It is not that the left is not learned, it’s that so much of what they learned is false. It’s not that the right is unlearned, it’s that what can be learned that is true is quite simple: rule of law – meaning truth, duty, sovereignty, reciprocity, markets in everything produce meritocracy, eugenics, and prosperity – and every alternative does not.

MORE ON SOPHISTRY OF CONFLATING AXIOMS AND THEORIES
Axioms can exist only in formal logic (and mathematics), laws between men – and conversely theories provide explanatory power about the universe.
An axiom in formal logic is declared the equivalent of true, and therefore we assume it’s no longer contingent or externally correspondent for our purposes of further (subsequent) construction and deduction.
So in that sense we can use axioms for ‘what if’ scenarios in logic, and the interpretation of moral norms, and legislation and law, and textual analysis including scripture – which is where all this form of verbal reasoning comes from: non correspondence with reality, only internal consistency.
Whereas we can only use hypotheses theories and laws when we are making a contingent truth claim about the existential rather than the verbal and ideal. Hypotheses theories and laws originated in the description of correspondence with reality.
As such the use of axioms helps us test logical internal consistency, and the use of theories helps us test external correspondence – since nature is always internally consistent: it can’t help it. That’s what determinism *means*. As such Axioms and Theories are polar opposites.
And using one in the place of the other is generally either a matter of ignorance or attributing the correspondence and consistency of that which is deterministic under logical declaration to that which is underdeterministic under physical description.
I don’t find this very difficult because in math we use axioms, in science we use laws, and only sophists in philosophy seem to attempt to either conflate the two, or to attribute the properties of axioms to that of theories and laws – and that means there are a lot of sophists (like Mises and Rothbard, not to mention Hoppe and every marxist that ever lived). And as I’ve said, as far as I know math survives, but formal logic was a dead end, the grammars replace them, and philosophy is reduced to the preferable and good not the true. And what we call science (due diligence) and law (testimony) determine truth.
So, at present, In my understanding – which I have serious doubts that I’ll ever be refuted – the word axiom is archaic and has no use outside of mathematics and symbolic logic that seeks to imitate mathematics through conversion of reality (operations) to ideals (sets). Axiom = Arbitrary, and Theory = Existential.

WTH is wrong with you? An axiom is a declaration – an ideal. A theory is a contingent explanation – a real. Logical and ideal axioms. Descriptive and real theories. They are not synonyms.

(Movement)
Yes, there are people who attempted to co-opt me and my work for use by the degenerate right. Yes I used them as long as it was valuable. Yes it was probably a bad trade in the long term. Yes they are gone. Yes they are still coopting some of my work. No it doesn’t matter. Why? A boys club of the unaccomplished, undesirable, and mentally weak cannot scale. What can scale is practical incentives, and possible solutions. I don’t for a minute think that techies and nerds make much difference other than repeaters. What matters is the men who will fight for fun and profit, and the a sufficient body of the population that will not resist or object to the solution.

Psychologism is a feminine means of disapproval and shaming – an ad hominem to circumvent arguments. Note that they addresses not the truth or falsehood but demonstrate the usual lack of agency by simply disapproving – as if their sexual, social, and political market value had any value other than the empirical confirmation of their lack of intelligence, agency, and argument – thats before we consider intellectual honesty. Although, admittedly, they have a gender-biased lack of agency, without which one cannot possess intellectual honesty. We are no longer so dependent upon one another and as such separation of those who lack agency from those of us who do is simply in our personal, social, reproductive, kin, and civilizational interests.
