The great flaw in libertarianism is egalitarianism. People are unequal, groups are unequal, reproductive roles are unequal. Superior people need to rule inferior people or else inferior people will cause problems for each other and for their betters. Superior people need to be more free. Inferior people cannot handle freedom, need supervision, discipline, and control. Inferior people need to be substantially less free. Equality worked by consuming the social capital …
The papacy goes pharasaic
And, as always pharaseeism equals leftism.
Against female sexual choice
Heartiste and Steve Sailer provide compelling evidence that females should not be allowed to make their own sexual and reproductive choices. Their hormones make them stupid. Thus we have a bunch of baby murderers running around who will doubtless repeat their parent’s choices. And here is another video of raging hormones on parade. Most females, upon meeting a seemingly high status male, will jump his bones given a few minutes …
Stimulus
Byran Caplan assures us that progressives have the easy painless cure for unemployment, but somehow, due the pernicious influence of cruel heartless free marketers who just do not care about the unemployed, the government is just too right wing to apply the magic. The magic cure is, of course, to print more money. If it has not worked yet, obviously that proves we have not printed enough. Whosoever doubts this …
The thirty nine articles and the second book of homilies.
The most successful recovery from a left singularity was the restoration, which created a counter theocracy, restoration Anglicanism, which lasted from 1660 to 1828.Â
Japan succeeds in inducing inflation
Every time Keynesianism fails, they say is evidence it was not done hard enough. In Japan, they decided that this time they really would do it hard enough. And it worked. Rapid inflation ensued. Employment and production did not.
Bitcoin as a speculative bet
Charting bitcoin, it looks good, if you are inclined to gamble on charts. The recent collapse from two hundred dollars tested support at the hundred dollar mark, found plenty of support around there. By and large, it is a good idea to buy at major support levels, since a speculative property is a lot more likely to go up than to break through the support level.  If it did not …
Kermit Gosnell, partial birth abortion, and regulation
A major part of Kermit Gosnell’s business was late term abortions. The usual way to do a late term abortion is to induce childbirth, and then, as the baby’s head comes down the tubes, jab a steel straw into its head and suck out its brains with a powerful vacuum. This collapses the head, making the rest of the birth easy. However, because Gosnell was doing an abortion mill, doing …
Dark Enlightenment and the Endarkenment
The Dark Enlightenment: The movement that concludes that the Enlightenment took a bad turn, or that the Enlightenment itself was a bad turn. I take both positions: That the Enlightenment was wildly and dangerously wrong to proclaim all men created equal, and that restoration England was a pretty good political system, which gave us the scientific and industrial revolutions, and the British conquest of most of the world, and it …
History interpreted as left singularities
History is one damn thing after another, and any attempt to make sense of it necessarily leads to leaving out lots of important stuff. Thus making sense of it by looking at it in one way does not necessarily falsify making sense of it by looking at it in another way. The trend from around fourteen hundred AD to the present has been for states to become ever stronger. On …
