The human host-parasite system is analogous to the superclass as farm owners, The State as sheepdogs, and the remaining as hosts (excepting escapees, not shown).

Each "country" is really a tax farm. Political borders are virtual fences sometimes agreed on and sometimes fought over by members of the superclass.

"...I've come to the conclusion that the technical details [of trying to manage global warming] are the easy part. It's the social engineering that's the killer. Moon shots and Manhattan Projects are child's play compared to needed changes in the way we [sic] behave... To be effective, a new set of institutions would have to be imbued with heavy-handed, transnational enforcement powers... radical solutions on the social side." - Gary Stix, Senior Editor at the Scientific American Magazine, Effective World Government Will Be Needed to Stave Off Climate Catastrophe ⁴

"A Government society does not make money through prevention, but rather through, in a very real sense, the provocation of the problem and the illusion of a solution." - Stefan Molyneux, Power, Violence and the Reality of Progress - Stefan Molyneux Debates Dave Nalle! at approximately 31:45 into the YouTube video uploaded by stefbot 4-28-2012

"There is no existing entity called 'society'; there are only interacting individuals. To say that 'society' should own land or any other property in common, then, must mean that a group of oligarchs -- in practice, Government bureaucrats -- should own the property, and at the expense of expropriating the creator or the homesteader who had originally brought this product into existence." - Murray N. Rothbard, For A New Liberty: The Libertarian Manifesto (reprint edition 1985)

World military expenditures each month are more than enough to permanently resolve world hunger; the same is true of countless other boondoggle expenditures by the superclass and their Governments. Notice the green vegetation in the background. ^4.1

• the institution of The State becoming more obvious as doing the opposite of everything it claims, and regardless of Government type, growing itself into totalitarianism, killing its host, collapsing under its own weight, or weakening itself to the point of being conquered by other powers;
• collectivist fabrications such as statolatry, the social contract, and the left-right paradigm being recognized as memes;
• and elements of the independent media exposing how The State is immoral, unnecessary, and can as a parasitic institution be starved into joining chattel slavery on history's trash heap.⁷

“Thus, we have indicated that it is perfectly possible, in theory and historically, to have efficient and courteous police, competent and learned judges, and a body of systematic and socially accepted law -- and none of these things being furnished by a coercive Government.” - Murray N. Rothbard, For A New Liberty: The Libertarian Manifesto (reprint edition 1985).”

"To be opposed to The State is then not necessarily to be opposed to services that have often been linked with it; to be opposed to The State does not necessarily imply that we must be opposed to police protection, courts, arbitration, the minting of money, postal service, or roads and highways. Some anarchists have indeed been opposed to police and to all physical coercion in defense of person and property, but this is not inherent in and is fundamentally irrelevant to the anarchist position, which is precisely marked by opposition to all physical coercion invasive of, or aggressing against, person and property." - Murray N. Rothbard, Society without a State, an essay first published in The Libertarian Forum, volume 7.1, January 1975 (Available in PDF, but easier to read at http://mises.org/daily/2429.)

The 1776 U.S. Declaration of Independence contains a list of complaints against the British Empire. The resulting nation-state now violates the same complaints quantumly more.

"Suffice it to say the basic axiom of libertarian political theory holds that every man is a self owner, having absolute jurisdiction over his own body. In effect, this means that no one else may justly invade, or aggress against, another's person. It follows then that each person justly owns whatever previously unowned resources he appropriates or 'mixes his labor with'. From these twin axioms -- self-ownership and 'homesteading' -- stem the justification for the entire system of property rights titles in a free-market society. This system establishes the right of every man to his own person, the right of donation, of bequest (and, concomitantly, the right to receive the bequest or inheritance), and the right of contractual exchange of property titles." Murray Rothbard, 1982 Article Law, Property Rights, and Air Pollution

Under the 1781 Articles of Confederacy, the United States (plural) were an alliance like the 1993 European Union -- not a nation-state. There was no Executive or Judicial Branch, only a congress representing soveriegn states.

"Readers may object that at least some existing Governments do have the people's consent, but where's the evidence? Show me the properly signed and witnessed contracts. Unless all of the responsible adults subject to a Government's claimed authority have voluntarily and explicitly accepted its governance on specific terms, the presumption must be that the rulers have simply imposed their rule. Propaganda statements, civics texts, opinion surveys, barroom allegations, political elections, and so forth are beside the point in this regard. No one would think of proffering such forms of evidence to show that I have a valid contract with Virgin Mobile, which supplies me with telephone service. When will the Governments of the United States, The State of Louisiana, and St. Tammany Parish send me the contracts wherein I may agree (or not) to purchase their 'services' on mutually acceptable terms?

The similarity of arguments against the abolition of slavery and arguments against the abolition of Government (as we know it) should shake the faith of all Americans who still labor under the misconception that ours is a 'Government of the people, by the people, for the people.' From where I stand, it looks distressingly like an institutional complex that rests on the same shaky intellectual foundations as slavery." - Robert Higgs, Why We Couldn't Abolish Slavery Then and Can't Abolish Government Now, http://www.lewrockwell.com/higgs/higgs128.html

"There are two freedoms... freedom from illusion... then you end up with freedom from the more tangible effect, which is freedom from violence... the illusion is that taxes are voluntary, that there's a social contract, that the will of the majority is being served when special interests bribe politicians to lie to everyone and sell-off the kids. So if you free yourselves from the illusions of the society that you live in and you look at it for what it actually is; which is a oligarchical hierarchy founded on violence and repression and enslavement and imprisonment; if you wake up from The Matrix, then you have freedom from illusion and, if enough people do that, then the evils of the society are revealed... once people see evil they recoil from it." - Stefan Molyneux, How to Achieve Freedom - Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain Radio interviewed on Red Ice Radio, YouTube video uploaded by stefbot, 04-20-2012, at approximately 1:23:30 minutes into the video.

The 1789 U.S. Constitution "legalized" the U.S. as a nation-state of politicians representing the superclass through the fourth branch of Government, the secret branch.
“The idea of a strictly limited constitutional State was a noble experiment that failed, even under the most favorable and propitious circumstances. If it failed then, why should a similar experiment fare any better now? No, it is the conservative laissez-fairist, the man who puts all the guns and all the decision-making power into the hands of the central Government and then says, 'Limit yourself'; it is he who is truly the impractical utopian." - Murray N. Rothbard

Philosophy: First was to realize philosophy is to thought what the brain is to the body, with the type of philosophy in the brain determining if we're each primarily a philosopher individualist or a sophist collectivist. ¹¹

Pablo Picasso said "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up." Every child is also born a philosopher, with the challenge as an individual to remain him or herself. Infants become aware and grow, begin experimenting, increasingly conduct more complex experiments (e.g. opening things rather than just touching them), go exploring in random directions rather than their guardians' straight paths whenever they can, begin asking questions, etc. This natural process is severely hindered as sophist guardians socially engineer new sophists. However, victims with cognitive dissonance remaining can choose to resume exploring and undo enough of the damage to again become themselves (aka "find yourself").

An example difference between sophists and philosophers is how each communicates conclusions. Philosophers say in effect "This is my conclusion. If your's differs, let's compare premises and logic." Sophists selectively try to make their alleged conclusions your's through coercion ranging from mild distraction to genocide. Philosophers focus on logic and evidence, and are happy to be told of any errors or updates in either. Sophists selectively avoid both.¹²

A second example is the common sophist practice of teaching conclusions. Philosophers teach how to reach one's own conclusions.

A third example is the common sophist practice of beginning with an alleged conclusion and building alleged premises and logic in reverse.

A fourth example is the common sophist practice of repeating others' alleged premises and conclusions rather than working from first principles. A first principle is a basic, foundational proposition or assumption that cannot be deduced from any other proposition or assumption. For instance reading the U.S. Constitution rather than a textbook chapter about it is working from first principles.

A fifth example is the meaning of argument. A common sophist meme is "Don't discuss politics or religion." This is prolefeed for hosts to remain lifelong child-adult hybrids who defer politics, religion, judgment, etc. to court intellectuals. Philosophers reject this, considering argument as the healthy exchange of information and logic. To sophists, arguments are to be avoided or to be a contest of who is the greater authority (up to and including genocide), who can be more manipulatively emotional, and who can more covertly abuse logic. Therefore a part of this example is to accept or reject the self-ownership / nonaggression axiom, because to reject it is to accept sophism.

"False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil." - Socrates

Philosophers and sophists range in intensity along a passive-maintainer-activist spectrum:

Passive philosophers are mostly silent for reasons such as individual personality or extenuating circumstances.

Passive sophists simply accept, repeat, and horizontally enforce social engineering. In the host-parasite social structure, about a third of passive sophists are producers and about a third are minimal-cost co-parasites; e.g. lower-level Government dependents / workers. The remaining are part producer and part parasite. This is another reason why most people are very serious horizontal enforcer pawns.

Passive sophists avoid logical discussion and most often escape by changing the subject or intimidating the logician. If unsuccessful, they cut the person off or they leave the area, usually under the cover of an excuse or distraction; often drama. I call this squid fogging because it's similar to the way a squid or octopus uses ink to cover its escape.¹³

Maintainers maintain intellectual and social inertia. Philosophy maintainers keep philosophy available to future generations as scholars of the middle ages did. Sophist maintainers horizontally enforce, but more importantly to the establishment, conspicuously and relentlessly repeat sophist messages. They're typically well paid to do so, as in the case of "educators". For instance from age two to six I knew about gravity, but not that it had a name or why it didn't work on airplanes. In first grade I learned the word and the principle -- it only had to be explained once. At that age I was also indoctrinated that the U.S. flag was "sacred", that "our" country was best, etc. I thought a flag was just some colors put on a cloth. I saw my friend Eddy from France also with a flag and a country, and I didn't see why one was "better" than the other. but every day I had to pledge allegiance to "my" flag. So unlike fact, disinformation needs maintenance. It's repeated and reinforced until the targeted either join the herd, are disposed of, or escape.

Stefan Moleneux as Morpheus

Activist philosophers consistently wear away at mainstream fallacy in the abolitionist tradition. Activist sophists also horizontally enforce, but mostly are in and behind the lapdog media to reinforce and update lesser sophists. For instance contemporary social engineers have refined the art of label abuse. I claim to correctly use labels such sophist because my labels don't say a person is not a person, and I'm consistent in their use and definition. The 2011 U.S. Senate abused labels when they voted 93-7 to pronounce any accused terrorist, U.S. citizen or otherwise, as an "enemy combatant"; magically guilty without trial until the end of the "war" -- in this case a "war" literally without end, just as George Orwell predicted. Modern sophist labels such as anarchist, belligerent, collateral damage, greed, hoarder, insidious, terrorist, and war-on-fill-in-the-blank are flexwords; words sophists "magically" redefine in mid-conversation or mid-execution of "law." ¹⁴

(Note: "Finding myself" during my fourth reason-meta-meme included identifying my default location for several life areas on the passive-maintainer-activist spectrum. The location can change temporarily or long-term.)

Activist Sophists attempt to hide their two foundation words: Insider and Outsider. These are analogous to the double standard of parasite and host. For instance when insiders lie, steal, enslave, torture, and murder it's "heroism"; when outsiders criticize it's "an insidious form of terrorism." The most elite sophists firmly believe in and practice anarchy, capitalism, and individualism -- but only for and among their insider group; in the words of George Carlin, "It's a big CLUB. And YOU AIN'T IN IT."

Goering: "Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship."
Interviewer: "There is one difference. In a democracy, the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars."
Goering: "Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country." - Herman Goering, 4-18-1946 ("Being attacked" is almost always a false-flag operation to further a special interest.)

History: The second reason-meta-meme was to realize history and current events are to philosophy what data is to science, with current events as simply behavior patterns continued into the present. Only sophism separates history and current events.

The rigging of social power (force-information-wealth) begins at home with socially engineered weakened or broken families who create the true-self / false-self split in infants and toddlers. Compulsory schooling continues processing the weakened individuals into life-long collectivist child-adult hybrid drones. This condition is maintained through hybrid old age by mainstream culture, Government micromanagement, and socially engineered ratraces. The cycle repeats with the hybrids creating new weakened or broken families. Thus the study of politics and philosophy (force and information) is replaced with cradle-to-grave indoctrination. The study of economics is defined for most as the study of personal financial management. For advanced "students", economic study is defined as gold-plated theories, e.g. Keynesianism. The hybrids rarely suspect how fiat banking and fiat money enable Governments to continuously (as they do) or instantly (as they can do) transfer almost all of a host population's wealth to parasites. This illustrates a core schooling meme that philosophy, history / current events, and economics are independent of each other; the reason-meta-meme being that a person must learn all three to understand any one of the three. Other subjects are similarly compartmentalized to prepare victims for a life of following without understanding patterns.¹⁵

Another core schooling meme is to force history on students before they're curious about it -- which would occur at a different time, if at all, in each student's life. Until that point, most students see history as irrelevant to their well being and taught only for the purpose of fitting them into Government-ran society. the establishment's boring, dumbed-down, one-size-fits-all, unoffensive-as-possible amputations of actual events causes many students to hate history, to never investigate how they became who they are, and to lack an accurate enough data-set to ever become philosophers.¹⁶

Mainstream current event "news reports" overflow with hidden premises such as "...while our troops fight to secure Outer Slobovian freedom, back home..." This and other Orwellian techniques add up to The Big Lie, i.e., premises and conclusions "proven" only by how often they're repeated. Mainstream "news" mostly contains filler trivia, wordsmithed Government press releases, and "analysis / commentary"; all much cheaper and less punished by Government than investigative reporting. The independent media and authors such as Jeremy Scahill spend an extremely higher percent of resources on investigation. Lapdog media is motivated by Government secured profit; independent media is motivated to fill the truth niche. ¹⁷

Mainstream information / disinformation is processed and delivered by corporations, a conflict of interest. Corporatism also applies to Government approved labor unions and nonprofit organizations; basically corporations not called corporations. Corporatism is an evolved form of mercantilism, the arrangement between Government and a business -- not all businesses; the arrangement is made one at a time -- where liability laws applicable to average people don't personally apply to corporate executives and thus are also much harder to enforce against the former business that is now a merger of profit and Government, i.e., a corporation; i.e., a degree of fascism commensurate with the particular arrangement details. For instance during the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill, eleven employees were killed by corporate negligence, but there was no attempt to hold any corporate member personally responsible. British Petroleum executed powers over the spill territory almost as if they were a Government unto themselves. Smaller or less politically favored corporations aren't given such latitude.¹⁸

"I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves." - Harriet Tubman

In exchange for granting various degrees of fascism, Government gives each corporation a fictional but "legally" binding personhood status so it's taxed and further protected (e.g., by the Bill of Rights) as a person in addition to taxing every member of the corporation. The corporate structure funnels any losses to shareholders but not corporate insiders, and the corporate higher price of doing business is passed on to consumers. Thus consumer choice is limited as much as possible because corporatism includes loading down business with complex regulations to limit or prevent (as much as possible / profitable / foreseeable) potential competitors from starting-up, and existing competitors from offering lower prices or better products.

Corporate insiders intensely protect Government relationships, and media corporations more so. Governments give more and earlier press release type information to the favored. Governments routinely exclude, harass, beat, incarcerate, torture, and murder valid and verified authors and journalists representing independent media. The lapdog media only mentions such events when too big to hide or when events can be used as false-flags.

Economics: The third reason-meta-meme was to learn the basics of sophist and nonsophist economics. Social unengineering requires an understanding of social engineering's purpose: Transferring wealth from host to parasite. In addition to working politically, sophist economics works psychologically to mask parasites as producers, mask sophist double standards as morality, and mask wealth transfer as not occurring. The primary sophist economics meme is, to paraphrase: "Only highly specialized intellectuals with far above average IQs can understand economics." This is a textbook case of the social engineering technique goldplating, as further illustrated by "I am the great and powerful Wizard of Oz" and "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain."

However, every child is a born economist because economics is a subdivision of ethics, and ethics is a subdivision of philosophy. Social engineering disables victims into economist versions of the three sophist categories: (1) Economist passives knowing little or nothing, i.e., the vast majority; or, (2) Moderately rewarded economist maintainers keeping passives and themselves disabled, i.e., most "educators" and influencers; or, (3) Highly rewarded economist activists reinforcing and updating the pseudo complexity / mystery that is mainstream economics; i.e., finance, politics, and gold-plated sophist economics as a package deal. ¹⁹

For the nonsophist economist, understanding sophist economics simply means comparing it to nonsophist economics and thereby understanding how complex economic theories, formulations, regulatory intricacies, etc., are scams. For instance, investment advisor Bernie Madoff created a financial product in the form of a pyramid scheme to steal investor money. Private investigator Harry Markopolos detected and reported the fraud to the "responsible" Government investigators a decade before "those responsible" prosecuted Madoff.

Nonsophist economics includes being suspicious of statistical outliers such as the Madoff returns increasing steadily when all other returns were cyclic. Economic sophism includes the economic passives being dumbed-down to overlook such obvious trends, reinforced by advanced sophist economists hiding scams as much as possible -- "No holds barred."

Economics and finance overlapped here in the form of needing to understand pyramid schemes; but the complexity was financial, legal, and political; not economic. The economic part was comparatively simple: To know facts such as all pyramid schemes collapse when cost (as it mathematically must) overruns ability to pay dividends; or that multiple instances of coercion such as cover-ups and bureaucratic red tape signal systematic corruptness. So to clarify:

Economics is the study of combined resource allocation, distribution, and consumption of capital and investment; and of management of the factors of production in a society.

Finance is the management of money and other assets, and includes the study of how this is and can be done.

Financial products such as investment packages may be simple or complex just as any product, be it a load of dirt or an airliner. Understanding nonsophist economics includes understanding the warning signs of fraud in any product or service.

Sophist economic systems limit wealth as much as possible to only what the oligarchs can consume and control; e.g., incredible amounts of wealth diverted away from hosts by inflation, war preparation, war, victimless "crime" incarceration, cartels, monopolies (especially Government and money), boondoggles, parasitic horizontal enforcement, and countless other toxic practices. This began with kings and emperors debasing coins and advanced with fiat money, Government commandeered banking, compulsory schooling, Government influenced colleges, all neoclassical economics other than the Austrian School, complex and selectively enforced laws / regulations favoring special interests, zombie banking, and the continuous creation of new scams.²⁰

Nonsophist economics consists of only voluntary interactions between individuals to allocate and distribute resources; and to manage capital, investment, and the factors of production. Presently, the Austrian School is the only economic school of thought fitting this description. It's also the only school to 100% exclude Government from participating in economic management, and the only school understandable in detail by the average literate person. Further details include: Age of Capitalism, Central Planning, Collectivism, Competition, Deflation, Dollar, Employee Benefit, Gold Standard, Interest, LMU, Legal Tender, Moral Hazard, Opportunity Cost, Quantitative Easing, Racket, Ratchet Effect, Reserve Currency, Reverse Inheritance, The Fed, and Waste.

True Self: The fourth reason-meta-meme was facing my social engineering investment and denial to resolve the true-self / false-self split; sometimes called "finding yourself" or "self actualization." For me it's the never-ending healing and remerging of my conscious and subconscious emotional and thinking functions. I'm motivated to get as close as I can to changing my past mistakes by preventing their influence today, make restitution where possible, and flourishing the best I can. ²¹

Declaration (Section One) Summary: I call the first four reason-meta-memes "foundational" because they lead to more. I suggest scanning or reading Section Two straight through.

-cracy: [Standard Definition] cracy is the suffix of words such as autocracy, democracy, kleptocracy, etc. It means to rule; i.e., to regulate, be in charge of, make decisions for, reign over. From an Ancient Greek suffix meaning "power, rule."

[Further Description] All -cracies give a minority of people a monopoly on the "legitimate" use of aggression. This is immoral and illegitimate as described in the Government definition.


3Ms (of Social Power): [Standard slang Definition] The term 3Ms (muscle, money, moxie) is often credited to Lucky Luciano, however it likely has earlier origins. The term also describes the classic crime team of Bugsy Seigel (muscle), Meyer Lansky (money), and Lucky Luciano (moxie).

[Further Description] In the book Powershift: Knowledge, Wealth and Violence at the Edge of the 21st Century Alvin Toffler explains the 3Ms as interactive with an advantage in knowledge being the highest quality and most lasting form of power. The knowledge advantage includes limiting others' knowledge through means such as
disinformation. In the 1651 book Leviathan about creating highly centralized Governments, Thomas Hobbes discusses manipulating culture and social structure, and keeping the centers of power hidden. In the YouTube clip John Taylor Gatto - History of Education, Social Engineering and Indoctrination in the School System, Gatto explains the establishment "dumbing down" the non-elite and depriving non-elite social classes of leaders by identifying their most gifted and moving them to elite schools.


Abraham Lincoln: [Standard Portrayal] A U.S. president considered by the mainstream to be one of the greatest, or the greatest, of those presidents. More has been written about him than any other president, and very possibly more than any person in history other than Jesus Christ.

[Further Description] The mainstream made him a myth and hid the damage he did as a Hamiltonian to individual liberty and economic well being. I also object to Mount Rushmore and the thousands of similar court artist glorifications of politicians and war. Mainstream court intellectuals present Lincoln as honest, a hero, a role model, a man of the people, an emancipator, and a patriot. The mainstream excludes many facts.

Lincoln was a very wealthy lawyer working primarily for the railroads against the common man. He also represented a slave owner against the freedom of his slave in a case very similar to Dred Scott. As president, He stated in his first inaugural address "I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so." In the same address he stated "I understand a proposed amendment to the Constitution -- which amendment, however, I have not seen -- has passed Congress, to the effect that the Federal Government shall never interfere with the domestic institutions of the States, including that of persons held to service. To avoid misconstruction of what I have said, I depart from my purpose not to speak of particular amendments so far as to say that, holding such a provision to now be implied constitutional law, I have no objection to its being made express and irrevocable." He declared an unconstitutional (Article 3 Section 3) war that killed 600,000 Americans and maimed many more, while every other major country abolished slavery without a civil war. As the Supreme Court later ruled, Lincoln unconstitutionally jailed thousands of Northern U.S. citizens for criticizing him, unconstitutionally using military tribunals to do so. Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus throughout the nation. He closed three hundred newspapers in the North which dared criticize his policies. He arrested elected officials, including former members of Congress, who verbally opposed him. He introduced the first U.S. military draft, the first income tax, the first fiat currency, and spent money Congress didn't authorize.^endnote


Abolition / Chattel Slavery / Forced Labor / Indentured Servitude / Servitude / Slavery: [Standard Definition] A slave is a person who is the property of another person and whose labor, well being, and life is subject to the owner's whim. Slavery is this practice as a social institution, aka servitude. Chattel slavery is the industrialization of slavery as the mass collection, reproduction, processing, storage, transportation, and sale of slaves almost exactly the same as if they were large cattle herds. Chattel slavery was widespread from prehistoric times through the 1800s. It still exists as the exception to the rule. More individual forms of slavery are still very widespread but hidden, especially by Governments and other forms of organized crime. Slavery was legally sanctioned in many countries until recent times, for instance in Saudi Arabia until 1962.

Abolish means to do away with, usually forcefully. In relation to slavery, abolition is the historical movement to abolish it. In western Europe and the Americas the movement is documented as starting at the behest of Dominican priest Bartolome de las Casas who was shocked at the treatment of natives in the New World. Spain enacted the first European law abolishing colonial slavery in 1542, although it was not to last (to 1545). In the 17th century, Quaker and evangelical religious groups condemned it as un-Christian; in the 18th century, rationalist thinkers of the Enlightenment criticized it for violating the rights of man. Though anti-slavery sentiments were widespread by the late 18th century, they had little immediate effect on the centers of slavery: the West Indies, South America, and the Southern United States. The Somersett's case in 1772 that emancipated a slave in England, helped launch the movement to abolish slavery. Pennsylvania passed An Act for the Gradual Abolition of Slavery in 1780. In Massachusetts ratification of the Massachusetts Constitution essentially brought an end to slavery through court cases, although there was no abolition law.

France abolished slavery in 1789 as a result of its revolution, but it was restored a few years later by Napoleon in the French colonies. Haiti achieved independence and brought an end to slavery soon after the turn of the century. Britain banned the importation of African slaves in its colonies in 1807, and the United States followed in 1808. Britain abolished slavery throughout the British Empire with the Slavery Abolition Act 1833, the French colonies abolished it 15 years later, while slavery in the United States was abolished in 1865 with the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Abolitionism in the West was preceded by the New Laws of the Indies in 1542, in which Emperor Charles V declared free all Native American slaves, abolishing slavery of these races, and declaring them citizens of the Empire with full rights. The move was inspired by writings of the Spanish monk Bartolome de las Casas and the School of Salamanca. Spanish settlers replaced the Native American slaves with enslaved laborers brought from Africa and thus did not abolish slavery. In Eastern Europe, abolitionism has played out in movements to end the enslavement of the Roma in Wallachia and Moldavia and to emancipate the serfs in Russia (Emancipation reform of 1861). Today, child and adult slavery and forced labor are illegal in most countries, as well as being against international law.

An indentured servant is a debt bondage worker who is under contract of an employer for a specified period of time, in exchange for transportation, food, drink, clothing, lodging and other necessities. The contracts typically specify the worker is to be considered a fully free person at the end of the contractual period. Indentured servitude was especially common in pre-1800s North America for Europeans who otherwise would not have been in North America. It existed in many other examples globally and continues to exist, but was greatly reduced after WWII. Most military active duty contracts forms of indentured servitude.

Forced labor .... {e.g. Serfs, Native Americans, Nazi factories, POWs of Japan, some present Chinese factories...


Abortion: [Standard Definition] ....

Absolute Truth / Truth / Relativism / Universalism: .... [Standard Definition] Truth is an accurate description of the natural world, or its parts, or of how it's been artificially modified. Absolute truth is the concept that a given fact is always valid, regardless of parameters or context; e.g. .... Relative truth is the concept that .... Universalism is the concept that .... {http://youtu.be / M-2t77qDa-c In general, absolute truth is whatever is always valid, regardless of parameters or context. The absolute in the term connotes one or more of: a quality of truth that cannot be exceeded; complete truth; unvarying and permanent truth. It can be contrasted to relative truth or truth in a more ordinary sense in which a degree of relativity is implied. 1) In philosophy, absolute truth generally states what is essential rather than superficial - a description of the Ideal (to use Plato's concept) rather than the merely "real" (which Plato sees as a shadow of the Ideal). Among some religious groups this term is used to describe the source of or authority for a given faith or set of beliefs, such as the Bible. 2) In science, doubt has been cast on the notion of absolutes by theories such as relativity and quantum mechanics . Attempts to tie together all the known facts about the universe into a single unified theory (one example is string theory ) could be seen as efforts to discover absolute truth about this set of facts. 3) In pure mathematics , however, there is said to be a proof for the existence of absolute truth. A common tactic in mathematical proofs is the use of reductio ad absurdum , in which The Statement to be proved is denied as a premise, and then that premise is shown to lead to a contradiction. When it can be demonstrated that the negation of a statement leads to a contradiction, then the original statement is proved true. The logical proof of The Statement, "There exists an absolute truth", is almost trivial in its simplicity. Suppose we assert the negation of The Statement, that is, that there is no such thing as absolute truth. By making that assertion, we claim that the sentence "There exists no absolute truth" is absolutely true. The statement is self-contradictory, so its negation, "There exists an absolute truth", is true. This proof applies only to logic. It does not tell us whether any particular statement other than itself is true. It does not prove the existence (or non-existence) of God, the devil, heaven, hell, or little green people from another galaxy. Neither does it assert that we can always ascertain the truth or falsity of any arbitrary statement. The Incompleteness Theorem , proved by Kurt Gödel and published in 1931, actually showed that there exist logical statements whose truth value is undecidable, that is, they cannot be proved either true or false. Universality in ethics When used in the context of ethics, the meaning of universal refers to that which is true for "all similarly situated individuals." Rights, for example in natural rights, or in the 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, for those heavily influenced by the philosophy of the Enlightenment and its conception of a human nature, could be considered as universal. The 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights is inspired by such principles. In logic, or the consideration of valid arguments, a proposition is said to have universality if it can be conceived as being true in all possible contexts without creating a contradiction. Some philosophers have referred to such propositions as universalizable. Truth is considered to be universal if it is valid in all times and places. In this case, it is seen as eternal or as absolute. The relativist conception denies the existence of some or all universal truths, particularly ethical ones (through moral relativism). Mathematics is a field in which those truths discovered, in relation to the field of mathematics, are typically considered of universal scope. Usage of the word truth has various domains of application, relativism does not necessarily apply to all of them. This is not to say that universality is limited to mathematics for there exists a large number of people who apply the standard to philosophy, theology and beyond. In metaphysics, a universal is a type, a property, or a relation. The noun universal contrasts with individual, while the adjective universal contrasts with particular or sometimes with concrete. The latter meaning, however, may be confusing since Hegelian and neo-Hegelian (e.g. British idealist) philosophies speak of concrete universals. A universal may have instances, known as its particulars. For example, the type dog (or doghood) is a universal, as are the property red (or redness) and the relation betweenness (or being between). Any particular dog, red thing, or object that is between other things is not a universal, however, but is an instance of a universal. That is, a universal type (doghood), property (redness), or relation (betweenness) inheres a particular object (a specific dog, red thing, or object between other things). Platonic realism holds universals to be the referents of general terms, i.e. the abstract, nonphysical entities to which words like "doghood", "redness", and "betweenness" refer. By contrast, particulars are the referents of proper names, like "Fido", or of definite descriptions that identify single objects, like the phrase, "that apple on the table." By contrast, other metaphysical theories merely use the terminology of universals to describe physical entities. The problem of universals is an ancient problem in metaphysics concerning the nature of universals, or whether they exist. Part of the problem involves the implications of language use and the complexity of relating language to ontological theory. Most ontological frameworks do not consider classes to be universals, although some prominent philosophers, such as John Bigelow, do.}


Abstract / Abstraction / Abstraction Abuse: .... An abstraction is a concept that concentrates in itself the properties of other concepts. That is, if you can't directly contact it through one of the five senses (or their extensions such as telescopes), it's an abstraction. For instance, I sometimes ask "Can you touch a forest?" Most people say "Yes" and I reply "No, you can touch a tree in a forest, but you can't touch a forest because it's only a description of the trees. It's like saying 'green'. You can touch a green thing but you can't touch green." To this, some people say "Well I still say I can touch a forest", and some say "What difference does it make?" Such answers overlook the damage done to the human condition by pseudo logic.

Abstract concepts such as forest, green, family, country, and border are agreements, pseudo agreements, or nothing. If green meant something different to everyone you spoke to, you'd never say "green." This is why everyone readily agrees with simple abstract meanings. Not so with complex abstract meanings. People often disagree on where a border is, if at all; who is and who isn't family, and whether or not to recognize a group calling themselves a new country such as the USA in 1776. Many complex abstractions such as social contract remain as disagreements among many, or are coercively maintained as pseudo agreements such as calling armed robbery "taxes we the people voted on." That is, I disagree with my money being used for wars of aggression, payoffs to the wealthy, etc., but I either pay or get put in a cage or coffin; and voting simply means "Which politician do you prefer uses your money for wars of aggression, payoffs to the wealthy, etc.?" For me to be unaware of the armed robbery racket is pseudo logic. To ignore the robbery or to call it "patriotism" or "a social contract" is to follow the same pseudo logic that a flag has symbolism far beyond its colors and patterns -- it only allegedly has symbolism because somebody I disagree with says so; often somebody who can put me in a cage or a coffin.

Pseudo logic begins with the corrupt message that authority trumps the five senses. It goes to my point that just as Picasso said "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up"; so I say every child is a philosopher; the problem is how to remain a philosopher once we grow up. Babies and toddlers naturally explore, touch things, ask questions, take things apart, etc., and are typically punished if their actions or conclusions challenge authority. If children were allowed to remain philosophers and become adults rather than life-long children, who would follow orders from corrupt people?

This is a main reason the Nazi Government in 1933-1945 Germany could so easily manipulate so many German people to do evil they otherwise wouldn't have. Can you touch a Jew? No, you can touch a person whom considers him or herself to be Jewish, or whom someone else considers to be Jewish, but Jew is simply a description, or more specifically, a label. Hitler's staff manipulated the German majority to consider a "Jew" not as a person, but as a thing. The German majority of the time were highly conditioned to abstraction as authority through their toxic culture of intense religiousness and nationalism; i.e., they were socially engineered to be told what to think and do by alleged authorities.

Thus to understand abstraction abuse is to understand the difference between the individual and collectivism. You can touch an individual, you can't touch "a people", a "society", a "race", a "Government", a "country", a "border", a "movement", a "war", "collateral damage", an "ism", an "our", an "ethnic group", or any other named grouping. Once one understands this, collectivist statements such as the following self destruct:

"Our starting point is not the individual: We do not subscribe to the view that one should feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, or clothe the naked ... Our objectives are different: We must have a healthy people in order to prevail in the world." - Joseph Goebbels

"One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic." - Joseph Stalin

"Somoza may be a son of a bitch, but he's our son of a bitch." - Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Echoing the typical U.S. president's policy concerning their favored third world monstrous torturing murdering dictators.)

"I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we've struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We've made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions." - Barack Obama

Abuse: [Standard Definition] .... (1) Improper treatment or usage; application to a wrong or bad purpose; misuse; perversion. (2) Physical or verbal maltreatment; injury. (3) An unjust, corrupt or wrongful practice or custom; offense; crime; fault. (4) Coarse, insulting speech; abusive language.

[Further Description] ....


Academic: [Standard Definition] (1) Belonging to an academy or other higher institution of learning; (2) Belonging to the school or philosophy of Plato, as, the academic sect or philosophy; (3) Being scholarly; literary or classical, in distinction from scientific; (4) Conforming to set rules and traditions; (5) Having an aptitude for study; (6) (pejorative) Having no practical importance.

[Further Description] I usually use academic to mean having no practical importance in the near future, but of possible educational or other value.


Accept: To admit that something exists without necessarily condoning it, e.g. "I accept that world hunger has always existed, but I don't accept that it will always have to exist."


Acclimation / Deacclimation: [Standard Definition] Acclimation is getting used to a new situation, for instance changing from a child to a self-supporting adult. Deacclimation is no longer being used to something; e.g. a self-supporting adult again becoming fully dependent on others.

[Further Description] Acclimation is both a strength and a weakness. Humans are the most able to acclimate of all higher order animals due to mental and physical characteristics, resulting in us being the dominate species on our planet. Most humans are also capable of quickly acclimating to committing atrocities they would never consider committing prior to conditions such as 1930s Germany, 1990s Bosnia-Herzegovina, and 1990s Rwanda. Social engineering existing before and during such conditions greatly accelerates their depravity.

Adam Smith: [Standard Portrayal] ....

[Further Description] ....


Adequate: [Standard Definition] Equal to some requirement; proportionate, or correspondent; enough; as, powers adequate to a great work; an adequate definition lawfully and physically sufficient.

[Further Description] In relation to understanding social engineering and the subjects it's made of, adequate means to understand basic workings well enough to differentiate true from false and relevant from irrelevant. For instance to know what about oneself was socially engineered, and how not to socially engineer or help to socially engineer others. To understand enough about philosophy and history to think with logic and evidence, and recognize when others aren't. To understand enough about economics to differentiate wealth creation from wealth transfer.


Addiction: [Standard Definition] A habit or practice continued despite damaging, jeopardizing, or shortening one's life. When ceased it causes trauma, e.g., withdrawal symptoms.

[Further Description] the establishment overall encourages a limited amount of addiction for profit through supply, control, and treatment cartels. Addiction is also a form of lifelong childhood and therefore helps some adapt to emotional pain caused by social engineering. Traditional treatment programs focus on adapting the lifelong child of addiction to instead become the lifelong child of the human tax livestock system, and this focus has a very limited success rate. It also treats symptoms rather than the root cause, social engineering related trauma.


Advertising: In communication, to publicize something. In sophism, to provide information about a person or goods and services to influence others; i.e., most advertising is simply propaganda.


Adulthood / Child-Adult Hybrid / Childhood / Permanent Childhood: .... Childhood is the period of a person's life prior to being old enough to have a fully developed aptitude for fully exercising responsibility and accountability; i.e., adulthood. Permanent childhood is a condition wherein this aptitude never develops; almost always as a result of social engineering; i.e., The State as permanent parent and the church, The Corporation, etc. as the older sibling.

Age of Capitalism / Industrial Age / Industrial Revolution / Industry: .... The Western World historical era between feudalism and neofeudalism. .... [Standard Definition] { http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=YemRtHpgAlc }


Agenda (Open, Hidden, Automatic): .... An agenda is a plan, especially a plan one party has for another. An open agenda is such a plan that's fully shared without secret, the opposite of a hidden agenda. An automatic agenda is a subconscious plan, e.g. the toxic parts of culture embedded in a person's mind.


Agenda 21: .... [Standard Portrayal] An action plan of the United Nations (UN) related to sustainable development and was an outcome of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992. It is a comprehensive blueprint of action to be taken globally, nationally, and locally by organizations of the UN, Governments, and major groups in every area in which humans directly affect the environment.

[Further Description] ....


Agent Provocateur: A person employed by the police or other entity to act undercover to entice or provoke another person to commit an illegal act. More generally, the term may refer to a person or group that seeks to discredit or harm another by provoking them to commit a wrong or rash action. As a known tool to prevent infiltration by agents provocateurs, the organizers of large or controversial assemblies may deploy and coordinate demonstration marshals, also called stewards. Agent provocateur may also refer to a false-flag operation participant.

[Further Description] ....


Aggression: [Standard Definition] Initiating violence or the threat of violence to others or to people, places, or property the others care about.

[Further Description] .... There's an argument for where to draw the line between nonaggression and self-defense.

AKA / aka: [Standard Definition] Acronym for "also known as".


Alan Watt: [Standard Portrayal] ....


Alex Jones: [Standard Portrayal] American talk radio host, actor and filmmaker. His syndicated news / talk show The Alex Jones Show, based in Austin, Texas, airs via the Genesis Communication Network over 60 AM, FM, and shortwave radio stations across the United States and on the Internet. His websites include Infowars.com and PrisonPlanet.com. Mainstream sources typically describe Alex as a right-wing conspiracy theorist and "pusher of paranoia porn."

[Further Description] My experience is that along with Stefan Moleneux of Freedomainradio.com, Alex leads the non-mainstream, i.e. non-pseudo, news and analysis media. He describes himself as a libertarian, paleoconservative, and "aggressive constitutionalist." I agree. He rejects the left-right paradigm, and takes many controversial stands such as the Oklahoma City bombing and September 11 attacks being "inside jobs." The mainstream media typically fails to cover the stories he breaks unless they're too big to hide, so the mainstream will cover watered-down versions weeks to months later. Alex has a large investigative organization and has source documentation for all his news releases.


Alexander Hamilton / Hamiltonian: [Standard Portrayal] .... A "Founding Father", soldier, economist, political philosopher, one of America's first "constitutional" lawyers, and the first United States Secretary of the Treasury. He was the primary author of the economic policies of the George Washington Administration, especially the funding of The State debts by the Federal Government, the establishment of a national bank, and a system of tariffs. He became the leader of the Federalist Party, created largely in support of his views. He was instrumental in replacing the Articles of Confederation with the Constitution.

[Further Description] Hamilton was a founder of mercantilism in the U.S., which has evolved into corporatism. Hamiltonian refers to continuing and evolving Hamilton's and similar practices into the future. Author Thomas DiLorenzo states "Hamilton and his political compatriots, the Federalists, understood that a mercantilist empire is a very bad thing if you are on the paying end, as the colonists were. but if you are on the receiving end, that's altogether different. It's good to be the king, as Mel Brooks would say." DiLorenzo provides an overview of his book Hamilton's Curse in his article What Hamilton Has Wrought.


Alexis de Tocqueville: .... [Standard Portrayal] French political thinker and historian best known for his work Democracy in America (appearing in two volumes: 1835 and 1840), The Old Regime, and The Revolution (1856). In these works, he explored the effects of the rising equality of social conditions on the individual and The State in western societies. Democracy in America (1835), his major work, published after his travels in the United States, is today considered an early work of sociology and political science.

Amnesty International: .... [Standard Portrayal] A non-Governmental organization focused on human rights with over 3 million members and supporters around the world. The objective of the organization is "to conduct research and generate action to prevent and end grave abuses of human rights, and to demand justice for those whose rights have been violated." In the field of international human rights organizations, Amnesty has the longest history and broadest name recognition, and "is believed by many to set standards for the movement as a whole."

Anarcho-Capitalism / Anarcho Capitalist / AnCap: [Standard Definition] A term created by Murray Rothbard based on his statements such as "The basic axiom of libertarian political theory holds that every man is a self owner, having absolute jurisdiction over his own body. In effect, this means that no one else may justly invade, or aggress against, another's person. It follows then that each person justly owns whatever previously unowned resources he appropriates or 'mixes his labor with'. From these twin axioms -- self-ownership and 'homesteading' -- stem the justification for the entire system of property rights titles in a free-market society. This system establishes the right of every man to his own person, the right of donation, of bequest (and, concomitantly, the right to receive the bequest or inheritance), and the right of contractual exchange of property titles." (From Law and Property Rights.) Thus anarcho means the absence of coercion, capitalism refers to economic acts stemming from the self-ownership / nonaggression axiom.

[Further Description] I often use the term AnCap as short for anarcho-capitalism or anarcho-capitalist, meaning one who accepts anarcho-capitalism as an alternative to The State.


Anarchism / Anarchy: .... [Standard Definition] (1) The political theory that communities are best organized by the voluntary cooperation of individuals, and poorly organized by Governments, which are coercive by nature. Anarcho, as in anarcho-capitalism, is another way to say this meaning of anarchy or anarchism. (2) ....

[Further Description] There are many types and traditions of alleged anarchism; alleged because all forms of violent aggression are a type of Government and therefore not anarchy. Anarchism as a social movement has regularly endured fluctuations in popularity, and I observe the idea of anarchy is presently treated the way the idea of manned flight was prior to 1913; i.e., "Man will never fly", "God doesn't want man to fly", etc.


Andrew "Judge" Napolitano: [Standard Portrayal] Former New Jersey Superior Court Judge, author, and political and legal analyst. His books include Constitutional Chaos: What Happens When the Government Breaks its Own Laws, The Constitution in Exile: How the Federal Government Has Seized Power by Rewriting the Supreme Law of the Land, A Nation of Sheep, Dred Scott's Revenge: A Legal History of Race and Freedom in America, Lies the Government Told You: Myth, Power, and Deception in American History, and It is Dangerous to be Right When the Government is Wrong: The Case for Personal Freedom.

[Further Description] My experience is his books are among the best of historical revisionism, his analysis of current events are among the most truthful, sometimes making him a target of the the establishment's sophism.


Anti-Government / Anti-Statist: [Standard Definition] .... Opposition to state intervention into personal, social, and economic affairs. Anti-statist views may reject The State completely as well as rulership in general (e.g. anarchism), or they may wish to reduce the size and scope of The State to a minimum (i.e. minarchy).

[Further Description] ....


Anointed Ones: .... One who speaks or writes in defense of a faith, a cause, or an institution.

[Further Description] ....


Apologist: .... One who speaks or writes in defense of a faith, a cause, or an institution.

[Further Description] ....


Argument: .... In philosophy, a series of statements organized so that the final statement is a conclusion logically following from preceding statements. Therefore each preceding statement, aka premise , must be accepted as true if the conclusion is to be accepted as true.

Argument By / From: Argument from refers to the overall subject of the argument premises. For instance during the movement to abolish chattel slavery, most abolitionists argued slavery was immoral, while most pro-slavery groups argued slavery was necessary for society to function. In this case the abolitionists were arguing from morality and the pro-slavery groups were arguing from effect. Argument by is a more popular way of saying the more accurate argument from.


Argument from Authority / Emotion / Logic / Pseudo Logic: Aristotle stated that
all arguments are based on (i.e., from) authority, emotion, logic (whether correct or pseudo), or a combination of thereof. Thousands of years later, The Statement has been explained more in detail, but never added to; i.e., all other premises are variations of those three core premise types.

The argument from authority is pure sophism. In effect it says the person with the most coercion or pseudo power is the one telling the truth. For instance, the most well-armed person saying "Disagree with me and I'll kill you", or an employer saying "I'll fire you if you disagree", or believing a person or with a title (e.g. PhD) over a person without a title, or believing an authoritarian thing such as a Bible, Koran, or manifesto for the authority "reason" alone.

The argument from emotion is also pure sophism. In effect it says "I'm correct because I can inspire the most emotion in you." Adolf Hitler's extremely loud and melodramatic speeches are textbook examples.

The argument from logic says in effect "My conclusion is correct because my logic is correct." The argument from pseudo logic says the same, but is a lie. Identifying an argument's logic as correct or incorrect requires examining each premise to determine its truth and ensuring the premises fit together in a way that either deductively proves the conclusion or inductively proves the conclusion has the argued-for level of probability. Pseudo logic imitates correct logic but contains false premises or defective steps such as non sequitur. Determining the truthfulness of the premises and the correctness of the logic steps for most arguments is very time consuming and adds to the popularity of pseudo arguments.

Thus the three core pseudo arguments are those from authority, emotion, and pseudo logic. These three core types are mixed and matched in varieties and complexities limited only by the sophist imagination. Below are some examples, bearing in mind that a typical mainstream "news" commentary uses several of these per minute:


Argument by Ad Hominem / Ad Hominem Argument: A type of fallacious argument in which the attempt is made to refute a theory or belief by discrediting the person(s) who advocate that theory or belief.


Argument by Adjective / Adverb: An adjective modifies a noun and an adverb modifies a verb. The Argument by either one simply says "Whoever modifies the most, or at least the right number of, words must be telling the most truth." To quote Logic Wizard "For instance, an activist or lobbyist may say, 'There will be serious repercussions from this illegal bill, and I don't just mean to the political fortunes of those who hypocritically voted for it.'" In this case, each adjective and adverb is a premise in itself, new to the argument.


Argument by Apocalypse / Fear: Persuasion by connecting with target audience fears, for instance the fear of "wasting" a vote on a third party candidate.


Argument by Average / Conformity: Persuasion by connecting with target audience fears, for instance the fear of "wasting" a vote on a third party candidate.


Argument by Bandwagon: (Textbook propaganda technique) To conclude a proposition is true because many or most people believe it. Also known as appeal to the masses, appeal to belief, appeal to the majority, argument by consensus, consensus fallacy, authority of the many, and in Latin as argumentum ad numerum ("appeal to the number"), and consensus gentium ("agreement of the clans"). It's also the basis of a number of social phenomena, including communal reinforcement and the bandwagon effect.


Argument by Begging the Question / Circular Logic: A logical fallacy in which a premise of an argument contains a direct or indirect assumption that the argument is true as "proven" by that premise's conclusion. For instance, arguing that God can only do good deeds because God is good.


Argument by Category / Label: To say in effect "The arguer is wrong because of a label associated with him or her." For instance to reject everything Aristotle wrote because he was a slaveholder.


Argument by Complexity: To gold plate an argument with unneeded details, especially details that are hard for nonspecialists to understand. For instance Keynesian and similar economic theories include formulas presented as fact rather than the theoretical abstractions they are, and are unnecessarily too complex for average people to detect as theory rather than fact.


Argument by Glittering Generality: (Textbook propaganda technique) Emotionally appealing words so closely associated with highly-valued concepts and beliefs that they carry conviction without supporting information or reason. Such highly-valued concepts attract general approval and acclaim. Their appeal is to emotions such as love of country and home, and desire for peace, freedom, glory, and honor. They ask for approval without examination of the reason. They also provide politicians with an opportunity to fill time and thus avoid genuine issues.


Argument by "I believe so you should believe: .... [Standard Definition] A form of the argument by bandwagon, except rather than ....


Argument by Just Plain Folks: (Textbook propaganda technique) .... [Standard Definition]


Argument by Label Pollution: Label pollution is the practice of creating or using relatively new labels such as producerist to substitute for correct logic.
Such labels are of value only to sophists. For instance I only put myself in the category of being a person who is a philosopher. My status as an "AnCap is one of my conclusions , and I'm willing to change my conclusions if anyone provides new evidence or shows me where my logic is incorrect -- that is the nature of genuine philosophy as opposed to sophism. Those using labels such as producerist, AnCap, etc. embed in their use of that label that I have a point of view other than philosophy. The use of embedded meanings also makes this an argument by stealth premise.


Argument by Limited Choice / Oversimplification: Persuasion by the false premise that there are less choices than is in fact true, for instance "America, love it or leave it", or "You're either with us or against us."


Argument by Namecalling: (Textbook propaganda technique) Persuasion by belittling or demonizing an opposing cause, person, idea, etc., or persuasion with the intent to victimize others. The presstitute Bill O'Reilly constantly uses terms such as "pinhead." I use terms like "presstitute", but only as examples.


Argument by Oratory: Persuasion by drama skills.


Argument by Package Deal: Package deal is a slang term originated by Ayn Rand meaning two or more premises are merged into an alleged one premise.


Argument by Rhetoric: Persuasion by language composition skills.


Argument by Scapegoating: (Textbook propaganda technique) .... [Standard Definition]


Argument by Stereotyping: (Textbook propaganda technique) .... [Standard Definition]


Argument by Strawman / Strawman Argument: An insubstantial concept, idea, endeavor or argument, particularly one deliberately set up to be weakly supported, so that it can be easily knocked down; especially to falsely discredit any related person, thing, or idea.
Strawman add infinitum is when arguers accuse each other of using strawman arguments.


Argument by Timing: A set of sophist timing techniques such as interrupting contrary messengers and in mid-argument changing the meaning of words, changing the subject, or physically leaving the area, aka squid fogging.


Argument by Transfer: (Textbook propaganda technique) .... [Standard Definition]

Taxpayer Funded
Court Art

Art / Artist / Court Artist: Art is a person's or team's (artists) original creation that is too rooted in individual creativity and skill to be originated exactly the same by another person or team. Art can address all five human senses, and is often abused as to reinforce the Argument by emotion, e.g. visual and auditory art urging people to war; and is often abused to reinforce the Argument by authority, e.g. architecture and monuments glorifying institutions. Thus, court artists are those donating or selling their skills to The State, with propaganda in auditory or visual form, i.e.,
court art as the result. {also the artist's uncaring about marketing / acceptance by others}


Artificial: .... [Standard Definition] A thing or process created or modified by humans as opposed to being created or modified by natural world events.

[Further Description] The artificial versus natural world situation is critical to human rights because of natural law versus positivist law. It's also critical to economics because of goldplating.


Assimilation / Management Aikido: .... .... To absorb or reabsorb a group of people into a community. For instance in the middle 1960s in the U.S. many young men grew their hair very long as a protest against a militarized mainstream culture, which found men's long hair offensive. Several decades later, long hair for men is nothing more than a fashion choice and the protest origin is seen by mainstream thought as unknown or irrelevant.


Atheism / Atheist: .... [Standard Definition] Atheism is the absence of belief that any deities exist. An atheist is one with no belief in deities. The a in atheist means not, as in apolitical; i.e., a theist is the norm.

[Further Description] We humans have five senses, including extensions such as telescopes. Each thing that exists as energy or matter is perfectly itself; our concept of it is imperfect and always subject to improvement, just as the concept of a flat Earth giving way to a spherical Earth. The concept "divinity" is by definition beyond our five senses. All claimed knowledge of the divine comes from interpretations by individuals. This is like me saying "I had a dream of a canoe", because it can't be proved or disproved. An individual can interpret an event any way he or she chooses, but these types of events are only verifiable by and to that same individual. Factual information is verifiable and reproducible. Conclusions drawn are valid only if they follow logic. If deductive logic is successfully used (conditions don't always permit this), a conclusion is a certainty. If inductive logic is used, conclusions are probable within an estimated percentage. An individual may consider "God" to be a 100% certainty, but the extent this can be logically accepted as certain by others is zero percent.

There are an infinite number of other things that can't be proved, like purple unicorns in a distant other universe. The only difference between "the_divine" and the distant purple unicorns is the culture people are or aren't born into.
I have no problem with one deciding on his or her own to be "spiritual" or whatever. I have a problem with people being born into cultures that coerce them to "believe." Once the natural logic in a child's mind is coerced into creating a fantasies-exist category, any thought not making sense can simply be moved there rather than being investigated with questions punishable by peer pressure and scary adults. Soon after this, the flag of one's geographical area of origin becomes much more than colored cloth. Thus the fantasy category helps enables The State with all its horrors. I also have a problem with the educational and economic filler effect of religion. {http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=UTMDF8Lqd7k&feature=share}


Atom Bomb / Hiroshima / Hydrogen Bomb / ICBM / Nuclear Weopon: .... A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission or a combination of fission and fusion. Both reactions release vast quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter. The first fission ("atomic") bomb test released the same amount of energy as approximately 20,000 tons of TNT. The first thermonuclear ("hydrogen") bomb test released the same amount of energy as approximately 10,000,000 tons of TNT.

A modern thermonuclear weapon weighing little more than 2,400 pounds (1,100 kg) can produce an explosive force comparable to the detonation of more than 1.2 million tons (1.1 million tonnes) of TNT.[2] Thus, even a small nuclear device no larger than traditional bombs can devastate an entire city by blast, fire and radiation. Nuclear weapons are considered weapons of mass destruction, and their use and control have been a major focus of international relations policy since their debut.

Only two nuclear weapons have been used in the course of warfare, both by the United States near the end of World War II. On 6 August 1945, a uranium gun-type device code-named "Little Boy" was detonated over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three days later, on 9 August, a plutonium implosion-type device code-named "Fat Man" was exploded over Nagasaki, Japan. These two bombings resulted in the deaths of approximately 200,000 Japanese people-mostly civilians-from acute injuries sustained from the explosions. The role of the bombings in Japan's surrender, and their ethical status, remain the subject of scholarly and popular debate.

Since the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, nuclear weapons have been detonated on over two thousand occasions for testing purposes and demonstrations. Only a few nations possess such weapons or are suspected of seeking them. The only countries known to have detonated nuclear weapons-and that acknowledge possessing such weapons-are (chronologically by date of first test) the United States, the Soviet Union (succeeded as a nuclear power by Russia), the United Kingdom, France, the People's Republic of China, India, Pakistan, and North Korea. In addition, Israel is also widely believed to possess nuclear weapons, though it does not acknowledge having them. One state, South Africa, has admitted to having previous fabricated nuclear weapons in the past, but has since disassembled their arsenal and submitted to international safeguards.

The Federation of American Scientists estimates there are more than 20,500 nuclear warheads in the world as of 2011, with around 4,800 of them kept in "operational" status, ready for potential use.


Austrian School Economics: .... [Standard Definition] A school of economics advocating methodological individualism in interpreting economic developments, the theory that money is non-neutral, and emphasizes the organizing power of the price mechanism. Austrian economists are generally advocates of laissez-faire. They argue that mathematical models and statistics are an unreliable means of analyzing and testing economic theory, and advocate deriving economic theory logically from basic principles of human action, a study called praxeology. Additionally, whereas experimental research and natural experiments are often used in mainstream economics, Austrian economists generally hold that testability in economics and mathematical modeling of a market is virtually impossible since it relies on human actors who cannot be placed in a lab setting without altering their would-be actions.

Austrian School contributions to mainstream economic thought include involvement in the development of the marginalist and the subjective theory of value on which it is based, as well as contributions to the economic calculation debate. From the middle of the 20th century onwards, it has been considered outside the mainstream of economic thought. Its reputation rose in the mid-1970s, after Friedrich Hayek shared a Nobel Prize in Economics in 1974.

Authority: .... [Standard Definition] Authority is the power to enforce rules or give orders, or a person accepted as a source of reliable information on a subject. The problem with accepting someone as an authority is that he or she may be in error or abusive of his or her position. There's often a problem with accepting authority rather than thinking for oneself, and the Argument by authority is a common sophist technique.


Axiom: [Standard Definition] A self-evident principle or proposition, e.g. The Law of Identity.

[Further Description] { "Individualism is an assumption. but what makes it an axiom is that it must be employed in any attempt to refute it. When one says that they deny individualism, they prove it." - Popular axiom in philosophy }


Ayn Rand: .... [Standard Portrayal] A Russian-American novelist, philosopher, playwright, and screenwriter; known for her two best-selling novels The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, and for developing a philosophical system she called Objectivism. Ayn advocated reason as the only means of acquiring knowledge and rejected all forms of faith and religion. She supported rational egoism and rejected ethical altruism. In politics, she condemned the initiation of force as immoral and opposed all forms of collectivism and statism, instead supporting laissez-fairecapitalism, which she believed was the only social system that protected individual rights. She was sharply critical of most other philosophers and philosophical traditions. She rejected anarchism as a naive theory based in subjectivism that could only lead to collectivism in practice.

Bad / Good / Evil / Flourish / Thrive: .... [Standard Definition]
Bad and
evil can mean not good, unfavorable, negative, non-appropriate, not suitable or fitting, tricky, stressful, unpleasant, wicked, faulty, not functional, and malodorous among other things.
Good can mean acting in the interest of good, ethical, useful, functional, pleasant, satisfying, meeting requirements, healthful, enjoyable, competent, talented, effective, favorable, beneficial, worthwhile, reasonable, and large among other things.
Flourish and
thrive mean to grow well, prosper, or fare well.

[Further Description] Good and bad have so many meanings I find them problematic, especially when meanings are changed in mid-discussion as a form of sophism. Therefore I sometimes use the words good, bad, evil, etc. for discussion flow, but try to clarify context as flourish or thrive for good; and destructive and harmful for bad, evil, etc.


Bailout: .... [Standard Definition] In economics, a bailout is an act of loaning or giving capital to an entity (a company, a country, or an individual) that is in danger of failing, in an attempt to save it from bankruptcy, insolvency, or total liquidation and ruin; or to allow a failing entity to fail gracefully without spreading contagion.

Bait-and-Switch: .... (slang) A sophist technique of one party presenting an item of likely interest to another party wherein the first party changes the item later with the intention of the second party accepting or having to accept something much less to their advantage or original intention; e.g. a campaign promise not to raise taxes followed by tax raises once in office.


Bank / Fractional Reserve Banking: .... [Standard Definition] A bank is a safe and guaranteed place of storage for and retrieval of important items or goods. A financial bank is an institution where one can place and borrow money and process financial affairs. Most financial banks also offer limited storage services.

Fractional reserve banking is a type of banking where the bank lends out most of the deposited funds, keeping only a fraction (called the reserve ratio) of the quantity of deposits as reserves of cash and coin in the bank's vaults or as deposits at the central bank. Some of the money lent out is subsequently deposited with another bank, increasing deposits at that second bank and allowing further lending. As most bank deposits are treated as money in their own right, fractional reserve banking increases the money supply, and banks are said to create money.

Due to the prevalence of fractional reserve banking dictated by central banks and similar Government arrangements, the broad money supply of most countries is a multiple larger than the amount of base money created by the country's central bank. That multiple (called the money multiplier) is determined by the reserve requirement or other financial ratio requirements imposed by financial regulators, and by the excess reserves kept by commercial banks.

[Further Description] Fractional reserve banking began with precious metal smiths charging customers to securely store commodity money (mostly precious metals). Customers' accounts and receipts became currency, an infinitely more convenient form of money than carrying large amounts of metal on one's person. Some smiths fraudulently produced more receipts, i.e., money, than they had metal to redeem. Fraudulent smiths thus increased their wealth but risked their lives. If customers caught on and withdrew all the metal, whatever receipts remained unredeemed would be worthless and incriminating. This high risk and fraudulent system gave way to a calculated risk and open system of lending. The amount of metal stored became the reserve, the reserve ratio became the fraction, and lending became the banking; i.e., fractional reserve banking. The smith profession expanded to the banking profession.

Practitioners' honesty or dishonesty notwithstanding, fractional reserve banking in the simple form was an honest system. Bankers and depositors could negotiate an acceptable level of risk for both to make an acceptable profit from interest. If a depositor simply wanted to have his or her gold securely stored without a fractional reserve risk, he or she could select a secure storage provider and pay a fee rather than take a risk. Depositors wanting more security and less interest from their stored gold could select a banker willing to provide that amount of risk and interest; the same with depositors wanting less security but more interest. In its simple form, fractional reserve banking is a free market system because everyone involved competes to offer the most choices and best services.

Fractional reserve banking didn't remain free because Governments got into the banking business with laws favoring the establishment. In a free market, any bank debasing money would lose customers' trust and thus their business. Governments got around this by monopolizing money supplies with laws and institutions such as central banks so that people had no choice but to accept debased money. Similar Government abuses include:

• Fixing the reserve ratio, usually at ten percent; i.e., a bank can lend ten times the amount of money it has in reserve, and depositors have no choice but to accept this or store / invest their money elsewhere. Banks must do business to favor the establishment rather than the market.
• Confiscating precious metal from subjects in exchange for Government controlled paper money.
• Removing free market money standards such as the gold standard and replacing them with Government policies.
• Distributing newly printed money first to the politically well connected so that inflation favors them at the expense of the politically disadvantaged.
• Creating huge parasitic bureaucracies with complex laws / regulations, all unnecessary and unwanted in free markets.

Central Banking / National Banking / State Banking: .... [Standard Definition] The principal monetary authority of a country or monetary union; it normally regulates the supply of money, issues money, controls interest rates, and oversees banking activity within its jurisdiction.

Bernard von NotHaus: Bernard von NotHaus is the creator of the Liberty Dollar, co-founder of the Royal Hawaiian Mint Company, and founder of the Free Marijuana Church of Honolulu. Von NotHaus was labeled as a domestic terrorist by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation in 2011. According to the evidence introduced during his 2011 federal criminal trial in connection with his involvement with the Liberty Dollar, von NotHaus was the founder of an organization called the National Organization for the Repeal of the Federal Reserve and Internal Revenue Code, commonly known as NORFED and also known as Liberty Services. The FBI claims that NORFED's purpose was to mix Liberty Dollars into the current money of the United States and that NORFED intended for the Liberty Dollar to be used as current money in order to limit reliance on, and to compete with, United States currency.
All the von NotHaus conviction news releases specify coins and conspiracy. Hundreds of other business people do the same thing as him by issuing certificates for precious metals and coins of all types they store for their customers. And most of what the Feds stole from von NotHaus was in bullion form, not even minted. The lack of a cease and desist order and never prosecuting such businesses prior to von NotHaus even starting his business raises an obvious Ex Post Facto violation on the Fed's part, in addition to their violating the First Amendment in this case. The only difference between the other businesses and von NotHaus I can detect is his agendas of discrediting the Federal Reserve. By those standards, Ron Paul should be charged and found guilty, the Chucky Cheese company should be prosecuted and found guilty for exchanging their tokens for money, and parents doing the same thing with other parents rather than going directly to Chucky Cheese for monetary exchange should be prosecuted and found guilty. Unlike von NotHaus, the Chucky Cheese company is just careful not to speak in a legal but offensive to Government way. Of course von NotHaus was purposefully practicing civil disobediance in the Gandhi tradition to expose Ex Post Facto, First Amendment, and similar Federal injustices and frauds such as issuing inflation prone currency first to their insiders so that only inflates as it trickles down to everyone else in rich to poor sequence, with the poorest, i.e. the most helpless, being the worst hit of all.

The von NotHaus coins are by any "reasonable person" standard clearly different in appearance than the U.S. legal tender coins. The largest U.S. denomination coin since 1964 even close in size, weight, and color is the much smaller quarter. Pre-1964 U.S. silver dollars are de facto not in circulation because they're all collected and thus are not to be confused with the von NotHaus coins except by unreasonable technicality. Even with a pre-1964 U.S. silver dollar the differences are intentionally obvious as shown by the closing arguments from http://www.coinworld.com/ articles / jury-convicts-von-nothaus-on-two-counts / :

"In his closing arguments, defense attorney Lee argued that a legal coin must have four defining features, yet the von NotHaus pieces had just three. Unlike legal U.S. currency, the pieces bore the NORFED name and telephone number, he said. 'This case isn't about anything except how Bernard's life intersected with the U.S. Department of Justice,' Lee said. He noted that in 2006, after articles in 'numerous venues,' the U.S. Department of Justice conceded that it had no power to stop NORFED. 'There wasn't even a cease and desist order. Now the U.S. Department of Justice thinks it's a crime. So here we are, with very little evidence.' He added that 'only Mrs. Velcito' said she was defrauded. He said she 'put (the Liberty Dollar) in a piggy bank and called the FBI' only after seeing a TV story. Lee noted that people counterfeit 'to make money,' yet von NotHaus hasn't made any money on the endeavor for 15 years. 'The Government hasn't produced one bank or merchant saying, 'This ruined my life.' This is a private, voluntary barter currency. That's what this case is about,' he said. Rose had the last word: 'If it was a private barter system, why make it look like real money? If it looks like a coin and spends like a coin, it's in circulation.'"

Doesn't conspiracy require a victim or possible victim? Conspiracy to do what, practice free speech in the form of coins and paper that were no way fraudulent or counterfeit? The only "victim" is the U.S. Constitution violators being exposed as fraudulent because Dollar referred to in the Constitution is the same value as the silver (not "gold standard") in a "Spanish Milled Dollar." The U.S. Dollar has lost 95% of its buying power since 1776 and 90% of that is since the Fed took it over in 1913. This inflation was clearly a wealth transfer from the common people to the elites. If the Government doesn't have to follow the supreme law of the land, why does anyone else have to follow any federal laws? Because there's a double standard everybody just has to learn to live with?

Bhopal Disaster: A gas leak incident in India, considered one of the world's worst industrial catastrophes. It occurred on the night of December 2-3, 1984 at the Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL) pesticide plant in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. A leak of methyl isocyanate gas and other chemicals from the plant resulted in the exposure of hundreds of thousands of people. Estimates vary on the death toll. The official immediate death toll was 2,259 and the Government of Madhya Pradesh has confirmed a total of 3,787 deaths related to the gas release. Others estimate 3,000 died within weeks and another 8,000 have since died from gas-related diseases. A Government affidavit in 2006 stated the leak caused 558,125 injuries including 38,478 temporary partial and approximately 3,900 severely and permanently disabling injuries. As many as 25,000 deaths have been attributed to the disaster in recent estimates.

UCIL was the Indian subsidiary of Union Carbide Corporation (UCC), with Indian Government controlled banks and the Indian public holding a 49.1 percent stake. In 1994, the Supreme Court of India allowed UCC to sell its 50.9 percent share. Union Carbide sold UCIL, the Bhopal plant operator, to Eveready Industries India Limited in 1994. The Bhopal plant was later sold to McLeod Russel (India) Ltd. Dow Chemical Company purchased UCC in 2001.

Civil and criminal cases are pending in the United States District Court, Manhattan and the District Court of Bhopal, India, involving UCC, UCIL employees, and Warren Anderson, UCC CEO at the time of the disaster. In June 2010, seven ex-employees, including the former UCIL chairman, were convicted in Bhopal of causing death by negligence and sentenced to two years imprisonment and a fine of about $2,000 each, the maximum punishment allowed by law. An eighth former employee was also convicted, but died before judgment was passed.


Big Picture / Little Picture: (slang) Big picture refers to the entire perspective on a situation or issue ranging from a minor problem to life in general, while little picture refers to a limited perspective of the same. For instance to put money into a savings account without considering inflation is to only see the little picture. Big picture perspectives are an enemy of and discouraged by social engineering.

Blue Pill / Red Pill:

."..how deep the rabbit hole goes."

[Standard Slang Definition] The term red pill and its opposite, blue pill, are pop culture terms that have become a common symbol for the choice between the blissful ignorance of illusion (blue) and embracing the sometimes painful truth of reality (red).

The terms were popularized in science fiction culture via the 1999 film The Matrix. In the movie, the main character Neo is offered the choice between a red pill and a blue pill, with the red pill leading to his "escape" from the Matrix, a fictional computer-generated world, while the blue pill would allow him to remain in the world with no knowledge that anything is wrong.


Bohemian / Bohemianism: [Standard Definition] The archaic meaning of Bohemian was a person from the general geographic area of what's now called Czechoslovakia; previously called Bohemia. The present meaning of bohemian is a person practicing bohemianism; i.e., an unconventional lifestyle, often in the company of like-minded people, with few permanent ties, involving musical, artistic or literary pursuits. In this context, Bohemians can be wanderers, adventurers, or vagabonds.
This use of the word bohemian first appeared in the English language in the 19th century to describe the non-traditional lifestyles of marginalized and impoverished artists, writers, journalists, musicians, and actors in major European cities. Bohemians were associated with unorthodox or anti-establishment political or social viewpoints, which were often expressed through free love, frugality, and voluntary poverty. A wealthy and privileged -- perhaps even aristocratic -- bohemian circle is sometimes referred to as the haut boheme ("high bohemians").


Boondoggle: .... [Proposed Standard Slang Definition] An activity intentionally meant to accomplish little to nothing for no other purpose than transferring wealth; usually from taxpayers to special interests.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD): .... [Standard Definition] A prolonged and typically lifelong disturbance of personality function characterized by depth and variability of moods. It typically involves unusual levels of mood instability, black and white thinking (e.g. idealizing and demonizing), or splitting to a separate perspective or personality. BPD often manifests itself in idealization and devaluation episodes, as well as chaotic and unstable interpersonal relationships, self-image, identity, and behavior; as well as a disturbance in the individual's sense of self. In extreme cases, this disturbance in the sense of self can lead to periods of dissociation. The disturbances also may include violence to self and others. Persons with BPD typically display narcissism and sociopathology. BPD is sometimes genetic and sometimes acquired from trauma.

[Further Description] .... social engineering can be a form of such trauma, i.e., being split into a logical self during professional life and an illogical self during personal life. Thus the establishment prefers that most people have mild cases of BPD, i.e., economically productive but economically and politically naive.


Brainbinding / False Self / Split-Off Self / True Self: (slang, similar to footbinding.) A subset of social engineering where childhood vulnerabilities are exploited to split the true self into the true and false selves. The true self is capable of being developed to accurately interpret and respond to the natural world and its artificial modifications, and is the only personality found in full states of mental health. The false / split-off self accepts the unproven as proven according to alleged authorities, thus allowing the true self to be complete enough to create wealth for the establishment, but not complete enough to socially unengineer itself. ^endnote

He advocated a "World Livingry Service Industry" rather than the existing "killingry" industry. He stated "There is no energy crisis, only a crisis of ignorance", and his books and inventions provided details of such problems and solutions. His book Grunch of Giants especially addressed the failures of politics and the advantages of an apolitical world. The acronym GRUNCH is short for "Gross Universe Cash Heist."
[Further Description] .... Although he didn't call himself an AnCap, he was key in me becoming one.

Capital "L" Libertarian / Small "l" libertarian: .... [Standard Definition] A Capital "L" Libertarian is a member of the Libertarian Party, the third largest political party in the U.S. A small "l" libertarian shares the libertarian perspective of a political or apolitical doctrine that emphasizes individual liberty and a lack of Governmental regulation and oversight in matters of the economy and in personal behavior where no others' rights are being violated or threatened. The scope of small "l" libertarianism includes anarchism and minarchism.

Capital / Capitalism: .... [Standard Definition] .... Capital is (1) Already-produced durable goods available for use as a factor of production, such as bulldozers (equipment) and office buildings (structures); and (2) The means, usually money, to acquire goods and services. Capitalism is a socio-economic system based on private property rights, including the private ownership of resources or capital, with economic decisions made largely through the operation of a fully voluntary market.

[Further Description] When I was eight years old, my parents taught me about investment and profit by fronting me the money to set-up a Kool-Aid stand, followed by their service charge. They let me keep anything I made more than their investment and service charge. Capitalism itself is nothing more or less..... , etc., but it doesn't change into non-capitalism until the initiation of violence is added. Then it stops being capitalism and starts being organized crime in forms such as mercantilism, corporatism, protectionism, etc. Capitalism is based on choice, all other "economic" systems include the initiation of violence. A common practice of statists is to ignorantly or fraudulently label the initiation of violence "capitalism." ^endnote

"These are the facts about capitalism. Thus, if an Englishman -- or, for that matter, any other man in any country of the world -- says today to his friends that he is opposed to capitalism, there is a wonderful way to answer him: 'You know that the population of this planet is now ten times greater than it was in the ages preceding capitalism; you know that all men today enjoy a higher standard of living than your ancestors did before the age of capitalism. but how do you know that you are the one out of ten who would have lived in the absence of capitalism? The mere fact that you are living today is proof that capitalism has succeeded, whether or not you consider your own life very valuable.'

In spite of all its benefits, capitalism has been furiously attacked and criticized. It is necessary that we understand the origin of this antipathy. It is a fact that the hatred of capitalism originated not with the masses, not among the workers themselves, but among the landed aristocracy -- the gentry, the nobility, of England and the European continent. They blamed capitalism for something that was not very pleasant for them: at the beginning of the nineteenth century, the higher wages paid by industry to its workers forced the landed gentry to pay equally higher wages to their agricultural workers. The aristocracy attacked the industries by criticizing the standard of living of the masses of the workers.

Of course -- from our viewpoint, the workers' standard of living was extremely low; conditions under early capitalism were absolutely shocking, but not because the newly developed capitalistic industries had harmed the workers. The people hired to work in factories had already been existing at a virtually subhuman level.

The famous old story, repeated hundreds of times, that the factories employed women and children and that these women and children, before they were working in factories, had lived under satisfactory conditions, is one of the greatest falsehoods of history... - From "Lecture One", Ludwig von Mises, ECONOMIC POLICY, Thoughts for Today and Tomorrow, 1979, available at mises.org.

Carroll Quigley: .... [Standard Portrayal] American historian and theorist of the evolution of civilizations. He is noted for his teaching work as a professor at Georgetown University, for his academic publications, and for his research on secret societies. In his freshman year in the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown, future U.S. President Bill Clinton took Quigley's course, receiving a 'B' as his final grade in both semesters. Clinton named Quigley as an important influence on his aspirations and political philosophy in 1991, when launching his presidential campaign in a speech at Georgetown. He also mentioned Quigley again during his acceptance speech to the 1992 Democratic National Convention.

Charles Darwin: An English naturalist who established in his book On the Origin of the Species that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestry, and proposed the scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection.

[Further Description] .... The phrase "survival of the fittest" came from contemporary Herbert Spencer. Darwin used it as a synonym for natural selection and meant it as a metaphor for "better adapted for immediate, local environment", not the eugenic inference of the smartest and strongest; i.e., survivors are those who fit into their environment, especially when it changes.

Darwin's second book The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex includes ideas about natural selection among "we civilised men" e.g.: "We must therefore bear the undoubtedly bad effects of the weak surviving and propagating their kind; but there appears to be at least one check in steady action, namely that the weaker and inferior members of society do not marry so freely as the sound; and this check might be indefinitely increased by the weak in body or mind refraining from marriage, though this is more to be hoped for than expected."^endnote These speculations and similar ones from other high society alleged intellectuals of the time influenced society in ways ranging from increased social prejudice to genocide.

Civil Disobedience: .... [Standard Definition] A form of social protest, involving the active but non-violent refusal to obey certain laws, demands, or commands of an established authority, because they are considered to be morally wrong or detrimental. For instance, the first nationally accepted version of the U.S. Constitution included slavery in the form of "three-fifths of a person", and civil disobedience was part of amending slavery out.

[Further Description] ....


Civilization / Civilized: .... [Standard Definition] A civilization is an organized culture encompassing many communities. Civilization can also refer to their history. Civilized refers to a civilization or part of a civilization as a group, or to a person who's moral, humane, reasonable, ethical, and has taste and manners; i.e., the nontoxic parts of culture.

[Further Description] I conclude the first civilizations were the beginning of the host-parasite human evolutionary tangent. Hunter-gatherer societies weren't and aren't civilizations because each adult only produces enough to support him or herself and one or two pre-adult offspring. These societies were and are divided into tribes that mostly avoid each other. Exceptions are for reasons such as refreshing bloodlines, trading, fighting over limited resources, and toxic culture such as feuding. Hunter-gatherer weapons are offensive in nature, e.g. no shields, helmets, etc., because they're hunting tools, not fighting tools. Agriculture and animal domestication allowed one person to produce more than he or she consumed, and so as a slave that person could support him or herself with one or two offspring and have the surplus production consumed by his or her owner. Those owners in-turn could themselves stop producing and instead focus on enslaving more people. Owners could also enslave or employ others to be full-time owner staff; e.g. warriors, arms makers, tribute collectors, indoctrinators, bureaucrats, etc.

Civilization is usually given credit for advancement such as technology, but not as much for humanity's negative side such as warfare, genocide, incarceration, etc. If we humans get off the host-parasite evolutionary tangent, we will probably still have civilizations or something similar, but without or almost without the negative side.

Coercion / Manipulation: [Standard Definition] In human relationships, actual or threatened abuse of power to compel or trick a person into doing something, or abstaining from doing something, thereby depriving that person of exercising free will.

[Further Description] All successful sophists are coercers. For instance most children understand that "an education" is needed for a good life and are thus vulnerable to sophists masked as educators.

Traditionally, manipulation infers trickery and coercion infers physical force, but all forms of negativity are used to include verbal abuse, disapproval, peer pressure, and ostracism to name only a few.

Collectivism / Communism / Fascism / Socialism / Totalitarianism / The Warfare-Welfare State: .... [Standard Definition] Collectivism is an economic system in which the means of production and distribution are [allegedly] owned and controlled by the people collectively; theoretically this could be a totally voluntary arrangement; i.e., anyone would be free to opt-out.

Socialism is the political enforcement of collectivism; i.e., people can't opt out.

Communism is (1) Any political ideology advocating holding the production of resources collectively; (2) Any political social system that implements a communist political ideology; (3) The theoretical international socialist society where classes and The State no longer exist.

Fascism is a political regime based on a partnership of business cartels and Government control to exploit the market place, repress criticism and opposition, and exalt The State above individual rights. Totalitarianism is system of Government in which the people have virtually no authority and The State wields absolute control over almost every detail of individual's lives.

The Welfare State is a geographic area and population governed by centralized rulers administering life-long ("cradle-to-grave") Government intervention in individual lives to [allegedly] guarantee citizens a minimum level of health care, education, housing, and retirement benefits.

The Warfare State is the social condition of central rulers victimizing a population in a geographic area by extracting wealth from their own and other populations through a widespread culture of militarism, a large and active military (often state-of-the-art), and by constantly initiating and engaging in internal and external strife. The strife typically takes the form of an internal police state and external continual warfare on a relatively small scale; i.e., not to engage other militaries of similar power.

The Warfare-Welfare State is a combination of the warfare and welfare state types into one state.

[Further Description] .... Families and similar organizations have successfully practiced voluntary collectivism. Involuntary collectivism, or involuntary anything, is the problem. Thus all forms of Government other than night watchman, aka minarchist, types of Governments coercively collect parts of their areas' economic system to benefit Government insiders. The larger a Government grows, the more parasites and the less hosts. So to me, collectivism is the practice of nonproducing people organizing to transfer wealth from producing people under the guise of an involuntary economic racket made to appear as the means of production and distribution being voluntarily owned and controlled by people collectively. This illusion is made possible by social engineering and is more specifically explained in the abstraction definition.

Commodity: In economics, raw materials, agricultural, and other relatively unprocessed products widely accepted as having value. In marketing, undifferentiated goods characterized by a low profit margin, as distinguished from branded products. For instance, although they were once in the forefront of consumer electronics, the calculators have become a mere commodity.

Common Law / Law / Legal: .... [Standard Definition] In social relationships, law is a written or understood rule concerning behaviors and the appropriate consequences thereof. Social laws are usually associated with mores. A common misunderstanding is that without Government there is no law, however stateless societies have and can again use stateless methods of law and law keeping. Common Law law developed by judges through decisions of courts and similar tribunals rather than through legislative statutes or executive branch action. Legal means to comply with the laws of the society. In the case of 1930s Germany, genocide and other atrocities were committed in the name of The Fuehrer, who by German law of the time had unlimited powers. Thus the atrocities were legal by German law, but the Nuremberg Trials overturned the legality and severely punished many of the perpetrators.

Concentration Camp / Gulag / Incarceration / Jail / Prison: [Standard Definition] A concentration camp is (1) A camp where large numbers of persons—such as political prisoners, prisoners of war, refugees—are detained for the purpose of concentrating them in one place; (2) A camp or premises in which persons considered to be undesirable by those who control it are hidden away, mistreated, and even killed; (3) A situation wherein crowding and extremely harsh conditions take place.

A gulag is a prison camp, often the generic name for the Soviet prison camp system. Gulags may or may not be concentration camps. A person is sentenced to a gulag, whereas people are usually in concentration camps because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hard labor is more common in gulags than in concentration camps.

Incarceration is the condition of being in jail or prison, jail being shorter-term and prison being longer-term.

Conjecture / Conspiracy Theory / Theory: [Standard Definition] Conjecture and theory have the same meaning: A statement not logically proven but likely to be true based on available evidence. For instance when electrical generation and lighting was first used there was no way to visibly watch an electron move from one atom to another. Rather, there were first several theories of what electricity was and how it worked. Of these, the workable one was chosen through experimentation. Conspiracy is the act of two or more persons working secretly to obtain a goal benefiting a minority at the expense of a majority.

[Further Description] History is full of conspiracies such as false-flag operations. Conspiracy theories are often conjectured as probabilities based on available evidence, which is often unavailable because the very nature of conspiracy is to hide and destroy it. The availability of evidence often changes over time with factors such as historical revisionism.

Author Harry Brown in one of his radio show sessions (recorded on YouTube.com as "Conspiracy Theories", uploaded 1-24-2012) uses the U.S. Federal Reserve as an example that the original conspiratorial element of a problem is often irrelevant to a present condition needing to be recognized and solved. He adds that focusing on conspiracy is often counterproductive because it wastes time, alienates many, and even attracts persons more interested in academics or finger-pointing than productive change.

To the mainstream one-size-fits-all namecalling of "crackpot conspiracy theorist" in relation to social engineering, I answer that social engineering is mostly phenomenon and only in a very minor way conspiracy. In its earlier forms such as kingdoms and in its present form as cloaked tax farming, it has no more conspiracy than chattel slavery. Both are social institutions that occur with predator and prey: The agenda is more automatic than planned and more open than hidden. Both depend on social engineering in forms such as toxic culture, social and intellectual inertia, and horizontal enforcement. They also depend on one-sided technology as explained in the book Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond. In his book Collapse, he states that present Governments maintain one-sided violence and related technologies over general populations.

Counter-Definition / Definition: [Proposed Standard Definition] A definition is a statement of the meaning of a word / word group (aka term), sign, or symbol. The root word define in the context of words means to differentiate a word from other similar but non-synonym words. A counter-definition is a clarification of a concept commonly misrepresented or under-represented.

[Further Description] Because meanings only exist in people's minds and all minds belong to individuals, there's no such thing as "the definition"; only what each individual understands a definition to be. This is why mind controllers focus on convincing people what to think, communicate, and do rather than how to think, communicate, and do. ^endnote

Cull: .... [Standard Definition]


Culture / Toxic Culture: Culture is any knowledge passed from one generation to the next. For instance killer whales in different oceans sometimes have different hunting techniques learned from their previous generations. In humans this often takes the form of arts, customs, habits, beliefs, values, behavior, and material objects that characterize a particular society, nation, or way of life. Toxic culture is the part of culture that interferes with the flourishing of a species. As writer Morris Berman points out in the movie "Psywar", quoting Marshall McLuhan: "if a fish could talk, and you could ask the fish what's the most obvious element of the environment, the last thing that the fish would say would be water... and it's true about any culture. Those things that are most powerful and most obvious to an outsider don't get seen by those people swimming in the water."

Dehumanization: [Standard Definition]


Democide: [Standard Definition] Murder by Government.

[Further Description] Some "standard" definitions state democide is only the murder Government does within "its" borders. So whoever the Romans killed outside of the Italian peninsula didn't count, right? One more example of the establishment fudging the statistics.

Documented 20th century democide: Approximately 262,000,000 people. Approximately 43,000,000 additional people died in combat in the foreign and internal wars of the century. Total, over a third of a billion deaths by Government in less than a hundred years (http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/20TH.HTM). I suspect including the "living dead", i.e., those surviving torture, family member murders, the most brutal imprisonment, etc. the number would be over half a billion. War is an example of the textbook classic textbook "life boat scenario" with several people and no more food. Genuine philosophy is about preventing lifeboat scenarios because at that point there is no solution. Unfortunately genuine philosophy is completely destroyed by present social structures, thus setting up war as profit making for the merged oligarch-Government-corporation-union insider team. No Government means no oligarchs, no corporations, no unions, and no war on that scale, if at all. War is completely unprofitable in a truly free market.


Democracy / Direct Democracy / Republic / Democratic Republic: .... [Standard Definition]. A democracy is rule by a majority of the people, as Benjamin Franklin said, "A vote between two wolves and a sheep what to have for dinner." A republic is rule by an executive or representatives legitimized by a constitution. A democratic republic adds legitimization by constitutional popular vote, whether direct or representative.
Direct democracy is a form of Government in which people vote on policy initiatives directly, as opposed to a representative democracy in which people vote for representatives who then vote on policy initiatives. Direct democracy is classically termed "pure democracy." Depending on the particular system in use, it might entail passing executive decisions, making laws, directly electing or dismissing officials and conducting trials. Many countries that are representative democracies allow for three forms of political action that provide limited direct democracy: referendum (plebiscite), initiative, and recall. Referendums can include the ability to hold a binding vote on whether a given law should be rejected. This effectively grants the populace which holds suffrage a veto on a law adopted by the elected legislature. (One nation to use this system is Switzerland). Initiatives, usually put forward by members of the general public, compel the consideration of laws (usually in a subsequent referendum) without the consent of the elected representatives, or even against their expressed opposition. Recalls give public the power to remove elected officials from office before the end of their term, although this is very rare in modern democracies. Direct democracy is opposed to a strong central authority.


Delusion: A false belief that is resistant to confrontation with actual facts.


Denial: An individual's internal defense mechanism involving a refusal to accept the truth of a phenomenon or prospect.


Derivative: .... [Standard Definition] In economics, .... A derivative instrument is a contract between two parties that specifies conditions-in particular, dates and the resulting values of the underlying variables-under which payments, or payoffs, are to be made between the parties. Under U.S. law and the laws of most developed countries, derivatives have special legal exemptions which make them a particularly attractive legal form through which to extend credit. However, the strong creditor protections afforded to derivatives counterparties--in combination with their complexity and lack of transparency--can cause capital markets to underprice credit risk. This can contribute to credit booms, and increase systemic risks. Indeed, the use of derivatives to mask credit risk from third parties while protecting derivative counterparties contributed to both the financial crisis of 2008 in the United States and the European sovereign debt crises in Greece and Italy. Financial reforms within the U.S. since the financial crisis have only served to reinforce special protections for derivatives--including greater access to Government guarantees--while minimizing disclosure to broader financial markets. One of the oldest derivatives is rice futures, which have been traded on the Dojima Rice Exchange since the eighteenth century. Derivatives are broadly categorized by the relationship between the underlying asset and the derivative (e.g., forward, option, swap); the type of underlying asset (e.g., equity derivatives, foreign exchange derivatives, interest rate derivatives, commodity derivatives, or credit derivatives); the market in which they trade (e.g., exchange-traded or over-the-counter); and their pay-off profile. Derivatives can be used for speculating purposes ("bets") or to hedge ("insurance"). For example, a speculator may sell deep in-the-money naked calls on a stock, expecting the stock price to plummet, but exposing himself to potentially unlimited losses. Very commonly, companies buy currency forwards in order to limit losses due to fluctuations in the exchange rate of two currencies. Third parties can use publicly available derivatives prices as educated predictions of uncertain future outcomes, for example, the likelihood that a corporation will default on its debts.

Desmond Morris: ....


Disillusionment / social engineering Investment and Denial: .... [Standard Definition] Disillusionment is .... [Neologism] Social Engineering Investment and Denial is he aggregate of years, money, relationships, emotions, mental real estate, and other resources spent being a victim and repeater of social engineering; i.e.,
not being one's true self. Investment is proportionate to age; i.e., a sixty year old has approximately forty more years damage and needed unlearning than a twenty year old. social engineering denial rejects facts that feel emotionally unacceptable, sets alleged authority above truth, and fears removing toxic culture as a coping, maintenance, and happiness finding mechanism. For instance, almost no one wants to admit he or she has been "dumbed down" by traditional culture and schooling. Denial is also easier than learning a new set of thinking and actualizing skills; especially when one is vulnerable to depression, substance abuse, and reclusion until the new skills are learned. Even with new skills, one may become a stranger in a strange land; again, denial is easier. So if you find yourself taking the "red pill", I strongly suggest you strive to immediately understand your level of reality investment in mainstream thoughts and beliefs, and then prepare for a commensurate level of growing pain.


Disinformation: .... Intentionally false or inaccurate information that is spread deliberately. For this reason, it is synonymous with and sometimes called black propaganda. It is an act of deception and false statements to convince someone of untruth. Disinformation should not be confused with misinformation, information that is unintentionally false. Unlike traditional propaganda techniques designed to engage emotional support, disinformation is designed to manipulate the audience at the rational level by either discrediting conflicting information or supporting false conclusions. A common disinformation tactic is to mix some truth and observation with false conclusions and lies, or to reveal part of the truth while presenting it as the whole. Another technique of concealing facts, or censorship, is also used if the group can affect such control. When channels of information cannot be completely closed, they can be rendered useless by filling them with disinformation, effectively lowering their signal-to-noise ratio and discrediting the opposition by association with many easily disproved false claims.

Dispute Resolution Organization (DRO) / Insurance: .... [Standard Definition] A business or group that provides services such as conciliation, mediation, arbitration, or negotiation as a private alternative to public judicial courts and litigation. In a Government-free future, DROs will probably be as numerous as insurance companies, and having a policy with one will probably be a condition of doing business such as selling, buying, being an employer or employee, etc. That is, I predict social and business ostracism will be the primary negative consequence taking the place of Government, with DROs sharing a type of credit rating reflecting individuals' positive or negative behavior history. DROs will compete with each other for customers and thus protect their reputations as insurance companies do now, and customers will be free to change DROs. The future is always hard or impossible to predict, but the DRO concept is an example of how society can based more on voluntaryism and less on force. { Insurance companies require civil behavior for one to be a client. }

Dred Scott: An African-American slave in the United States who unsuccessfully sued for his freedom and that of his wife and their two daughters in the Dred Scott v. Sandford case of 1857, popularly known as "the_Dred Scott Decision." His case was based on the fact that although he and his wife Harriet Scott were slaves, he had lived with his master Dr. John Emerson in states and territories where slavery was illegal according to both state laws and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, including Illinois and Minnesota (which was then part of the Wisconsin Territory). The United States Supreme Court ruled seven to two against Scott, finding that neither he, nor any person of African ancestry, could claim citizenship in the United States, and therefore Scott could not bring suit in federal court under diversity of citizenship rules. Moreover, Scott's temporary residence outside Missouri did not bring about his emancipation under the Missouri Compromise, which the court ruled unconstitutional as it would improperly deprive Scott's owner of his legal property. While Chief Justice Roger B. Taney had hoped to settle issues related to slavery and Congressional authority by this decision, it aroused outrage and deepened sectional tensions. President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, and the post-Civil war Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments nullified the decision.

Economics / Macro Economics / Micro Economics / The Economy: .... [Standard Definition] In a community or society, the economy is the combined resource allocation, distribution, and consumption of capital and investment; and of management of the factors of production. Economics is the study of economies; in daily language the words economy and economics are interchangeable.

[Further Description] .... A common misunderstanding is that economics means financial skills such as running a business, rather than the study of how the above defined combination affects communities and societies. For instance a business person unconcerned about a Government economic policy because it doesn't directly affect his or her business is practicing finance, not economics. A business person against the same policy because he or she understands how it indirectly affects his or her business is practicing economics.
Presently the two main schools of widely discussed economic thought are the Austrian and Keynesian Schools. The Austrian advocates totally free-market economies and is less widely accepted, most likely due to social engineering . Keynesianism advocates a hybrid economy of Government supervision and partially free markets as if there could be no conflict of interest. Other less known economic schools mostly advocate practices in between the Austrian and Keynesian schools. Well known but less accepted schools such as socialism and communism advocate complete Government control over economies.^endnote


Economist: [Standard Definition] An expert in economics, especially one who studies economic data and extracts higher-level information or proposes theories.

[Further Description] The standard definition reinforces a core social engineering meme, to paraphrase, "Only highly specialized intellectuals with far above average IQs can understand economics." This is one of many memes enabling the purpose of social engineering , to transfer wealth from hosts to parasites. The less hosts understand, the less they resist, let alone become escapees. Thus I suggest the reason-meme is to define economist as one who understands the basics of sophist and nonsophist economics. I further suggest differentiating between an economist, a sophist economist, an expert economist, and an expert sophist economist.

Empire / Imperialism / Modern Imperialism: .... [Standard Definition] In politics, an empire is a geographically extensive group of states and peoples (ethnic groups) united and ruled either by a monarch (emperor, empress) or an oligarchy. Imperialism, as defined by Dictionary of Human Geography, is "the_creation and / or maintenance of an unequal economic, cultural, and territorial relationships, usually between states and often in the form of an empire, based on domination and subordination." The imperialism of the last 500 years, as described by the above work is primarily a western undertaking that employs "expansionist -- mercantilism and latterly communist -- systems." Geographical domains have included the German Empire, the Mongolian Empire, the Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, the Portuguese Empire, the Spanish Empire, the Dutch Empire, the Persian Empire, the French Empire, The American Empire, the Russian Empire, the Soviet Empire, the Chinese Empire, and the British Empire; but the term can equally be applied to domains of knowledge, beliefs, values and expertise, such as the empires of Christianity or Islam. Imperialism is usually autocratic and monolithic (i.e. having a massive, unchanging structure that does not allow individual variation) in character.

Imperialism extends inward as much as outward with "the_creation and / or maintenance of an unequal economic, cultural, and territorial relationships." Countries are subdivided into principalities or the equivalent, these are further subdivided into localities, and so on as needed to sustain human host-parasite cultures.

Modern imperialism primarily takes the form of crony corporatism, i.e., Government-business cartel partnerships where understated political alliances such as UK and USA secret branches of Government partner to sell firepower and related services such as legislation to corporations most willing and able to share spoils, e.g. Goldman-Sachs, Halliburton, and BP. Thus countries such as Saudi Arabia appear independent by mainstream standards but are parts of coerced economic empires because their rulers either cooperate or are replaced according to imperialist elite whim.

Modern imperialism is more complex than previous forms due to ever more complex technology and concurrent intellectual progress. The related availability of intellectual progress to non-elites and the increasing IQs of each generation challenge social engineering to keep up with ever more complexity at a faster pace. {Paul Craig Roberts' article about Rome compared to us}

Evolution: [Standard Definition] Evolution is any change across successive generations in the heritable characteristics of biological populations. Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organisation, including species, individual organisms and molecules such as DNA and proteins.

Life on Earth originated and then evolved from a universal common ancestor approximately 3.7 billion years ago. Repeated speciation and the divergence of life can be inferred from shared sets of biochemical and morphological traits, or by shared DNA sequences. These homologous traits and sequences are more similar among species that share a more recent common ancestor, and can be used to reconstruct evolutionary histories, using both existing species and the fossil record. Existing patterns of biodiversity have been shaped both by speciation and by extinction.

Charles Darwin was the first to formulate a scientific argument for the theory of evolution by means of natural selection. Evolution by natural selection is a process that is inferred from three facts about populations: 1) more offspring are produced than can possibly survive, 2) traits vary among individuals, leading to differential rates of survival and reproduction, and 3) trait differences are heritable. Thus, when members of a population die they are replaced by the progeny of parents that were better adapted to survive and reproduce in the environment in which natural selection took place. This process creates and preserves traits that are seemingly fitted for the functional roles they perform. Natural selection is the only known cause of adaptation, but not the only known cause of evolution. Other, nonadaptive causes of evolution include mutation and genetic drift.

The actual obtainment of money or property is not required to commit the offense. Making a threat of violence which refers to a requirement of a payment of money or property to halt future violence is sufficient to commit the offense. Exaction refers not only to extortion or the unlawful demanding and obtaining of something through force,[1] but additionally, in its formal definition, means the infliction of something such as pain and suffering or making somebody endure something unpleasant.

Extortion is distinguished from robbery. In armed robbery, the offender takes goods from the victim with use of immediate force. In robbery goods are taken or an attempt is made to take the goods against the will of another-with or without force. A bank robbery or extortion of a bank can be committed by a letter handed by the criminal to the teller. In extortion, the victim is threatened to hand over goods, or else damage to their reputation or other harm or violence against them may occur. Under federal law extortion can be committed with or without the use of force and with or without the use of a weapon. A key difference is that extortion always involves a written or verbal threat whereas robbery can occur without any verbal or written threat.

Faith / Leap of Faith: .... [Standard Definition] Faith is confidence or trust in a person or thing, or a belief that is not based on proof. In religion, faith is a belief in a transcendent reality, a religious teacher, a set of teachings or a Supreme Being.[citation needed] Informal usage of faith can be quite broad, and the word is often used as a substitute for "hope", "trust" or "belief."

Some critics of faith have argued that faith is opposed to reason. In contrast, some advocates of faith argue that the proper domain of faith concerns questions which cannot be settled by evidence. This is exemplified by attitudes about the future, which (by definition) has not yet occurred. Logical reasoning may proceed from any set of assumptions, positive or negative. In this view, faith is simply a positive assumption.


False-Flag Operations (aka Black Flag Ops): Operations designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is flying the flag of a country other than one's own. false-flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and can be used in peace-time.

Family / Family Politics: Family is a social institution of one or more adults voluntarily committing some or all of his or her resources for his or her selected others' well being; whether adult, child, or pet. Some people choose to limit their definition to those sharing common DNA. Others argue that a DNA member can be excluded and that a non-DNA person or pet can be included. For instance after John Wilkes Booth's famous crime, most of his DNA family agreed to never speak his name in their other family members' presence; they also expunged as much evidence as possible that he ever existed. Family Politics is the substitution of friendship with politics to abuse family for wealth and power transfer to the more abusive members at the expense of the less abusive.

Federalist Party: .... [Standard Definition] The Federalist Party was the first American political party, from the early 1790s to 1816, the era of the First Party System, with remnants lasting into the 1820s. The Federalists controlled the federal Government until 1801. The party was formed by Alexander Hamilton, who, during George Washington's first term, built a network of supporters, largely urban bankers and businessmen, to support his fiscal policies. These supporters grew into the Federalist Party committed to a fiscally sound and nationalistic Government. The United States' only Federalist president was John Adams; although George Washington was broadly sympathetic to the Federalist program, he remained an independent his entire presidency. The Federalist policies called for a national bank, tariffs, and good relations with Britain as expressed in the Jay Treaty negotiated in 1794. Their political opponents, the Democratic-Republicans, led by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, denounced most of the Federalist policies, especially the bank, and vehemently attacked the Jay Treaty as a sell-out of republican values to the British monarchy. The Jay Treaty passed, and indeed the Federalists won most of the major legislative battles in the 1790s. They held a strong base in the nation's cities and in New England. The Democratic-Republicans, with their base in the rural South, won the hard-fought election of 1800; the Federalists never returned to power. The Federalists, too wedded to an upper-class style to win the support of ordinary voters, grew weaker year by year. They recovered some strength by intense opposition to the War of 1812; they practically vanished during the Era of Good Feelings that followed the end of the war in 1815. The Federalists left a lasting imprint as they fashioned a strong new Government with a sound financial base, and (in the person of Chief Justice John Marshall) decisively shaped Supreme Court policies for another three decades.


Female Mutilation: .... [Standard Definition] An example of toxic culture.


Feudal Serfdom / Serf: [Standard Definition] Feudal serfs were peasants who labored for aristocrats and nobles for whom land ownership included the inhabitants. (Not all peasants were or are serfs. In the Swiss Habsburg Wars of the 1300s, peasants fought for and retained complete autonomy.) Typically there was a serf class system ranging from a relatively autonomous class to an outright slave class, with most serfs in between but closer to the outright slave class. Feudalism refers to the overall system of aristocrats, nobles, and serfs. Feudalism is most often associated with Europe from the end of the Roman Empire until WWI, however it's a timeless phenomena not restricted to any one area of the globe.


Fiat: Latin for "Make it so", where "make" means "use force." For instance the U.S. took possession of the Hawaiian Islands saying that they were in a war (the Spanish-American war) and using those islands was needed to win that war. After that war the U.S. conveniently forgot to give the islands back; thus those Islands became U.S. territory by fiat.


Fiat Currency / Fiat Money: Use of legal tender and related laws by The State to monopolize money in order to control and insert forms of taxation into every financial transaction possible. The control includes expanding and contracting money supplies and tracking money trails. The taxation includes inflation and profits from monopolizing money production. Fiat money is part counterfeit and part backed by human livestock collateral. "...that system [fiat money] has never been introduced voluntarily... it has always been introduced by means of violence and with the use of police to suppress all alternatives." - Thomas E. Woods speaking at the Mises Circle in Greenville, South Carolina, 3 October 2009. (http://youtu.be/HAzExlEsIKk at 11:00)

Financier [Standard Definition] ....


Filler: In food, something of no nutrition added for the illusion of better eating; e.g., in the WWII Siege of Leningrad, the city bread was about 50% sawdust. In education, the amount of time students are coerced to spend not being educated, being indoctrinated rather than educated, or not educating themselves. In economics, resources spent with no commensurate benefit, e.g., farmers being paid not to grow food.


Financial Institution: In financial economics, a financial institution is an institution that provides financial services for its clients or members. Probably the most important financial service provided by financial institutions is acting as financial intermediaries. Most financial institutions are regulated by the Government. Broadly speaking, there are three major types of financial institutions:

1. Deposit-taking institutions that accept and manage deposits and make loans, including banks, building societies, credit unions, trust companies, and mortgage loan companies
2. Insurance companies and pension funds; and
3. Brokers, underwriters and investment funds.

Footbinding:

A comparison between a woman with normal feet (left) and a woman with bound feet in 1902

An example of toxic culture analogous to brainbinding. The custom of binding the feet of young girls painfully tight to prevent further growth. The practice probably originated among court dancers in an early Chinese dynasty, but spread to upper class families and eventually became common among all Chinese dynasty classes. The tiny narrow feet were considered beautiful and to make a woman's movements more feminine and dainty. Although reformers challenged the practice, it was not until the early twentieth century that footbinding generally died out, partly from changing social conditions and partly as a result of anti-footbinding campaigns. Foot-binding resulted in lifelong disabilities for most of its subjects. In the 1990s and early 2000s, some elderly (born until the mid-1940s) Chinese women still suffered from disabilities related to bound feet. A form of female mutilation.

Genuine Philosophy / nonsophist Philosophy / Philosophy: .... [Standard Definition] Philosophy is standardly defined as: (1) The love of wisdom; (2) An academic discipline that seeks truth through reasoning rather than empiricism (often divided into five major branches: logic, metaphysics, epistemology, ethics and aesthetics); (3) A comprehensive system of belief; (4) A view or outlook regarding fundamental principles underlying some domain (e.g., philosophy of education).

[Further Description] Genuine and nonsophist are my personally added prefixes to specify the second of the above standard definitions; i.e., seeking truth.

{- Meela = metaphysics (futility), estiphinology (knowledge), ethics / politics, logic, aesthetics} {Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems concerning matters such as existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. It differs from other ways of addressing such problems by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument. Standard philosophy has five or more branches, depending on interpretation. Here's a seven branch interpretation:
- Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy concerned with explaining the ultimate nature of reality, being, and the world. In Orwellianized culture, metaphysics defaults to the mystical to help deprive people of genuine philosophy.
- Epistemology or theory of knowledge is the branch of philosophy concerned with the nature and scope (limitations) of knowledge. It addresses the questions:
* What is knowledge?
* How is knowledge acquired?
* What do people know?
* How do we know what we know?
- Logic is the study of arguments, and made the scientific method possible.
- Ethics (also known as moral philosophy) is a branch of philosophy that addresses questions about morality; i.e., concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice, etc.- Social philosophy is the philosophical study of questions about social behavior; i.e., human relationships. Some philosophers such as myself consider social philosophy and political philosophy to be the same. I include political philosophy as a separate entry as a concession to the others.
Ethics refers to the study of morals, i.e., how to determine the principles of right behavior. In the workplace, ethics refers to sets of standards formally or generally accepted as applicable to a field of work.
- Political philosophy is the study of such topics as liberty, justice, property, rights, law, and the enforcement of a legal code by authority: what they are, why (or even if) they are needed, what makes a Government legitimate or impossible to be legitimate, what rights and freedoms should be protected and why, what form protection should take and why, what the law is, and what duties citizens owe to a legitimate Government, if any, and when it may be legitimately replaced, if ever.- Aesthetics is a branch of philosophy dealing with the nature of beauty, art, and taste, and with the creation and appreciation of beauty. It is more scientifically defined as the study of sensory or sensory-emotional values, sometimes called judgments of sentiment and taste.
My shortened take on the above:
* Philosophy: All other methods of studying problems are toxic.
- Metaphysics: "Faith" is a form of bigotry because it makes decisions without conclusive evidence. The five senses, including technological extensions such as microscopes and math, are the interface between human inner knowledge and the outside world. For instance my eyes may tell me the earth is flat, but be contradicted by evidence such as modern navigation.
- My knowledge is both conscious, such as the words I'm typing now, and unconscious, such as my preparedness to block a physical attack before my conscious is aware of my body doing so. The subconscious part of our brains is thousands of times more powerful as a processor than the conscious part, but conscious experience and thinking program the subconscious. My knowledge and the results of my knowledge is what makes me an individual; i.e., what makes me myself. My objectively reached conclusions and chosen programming are my true self; the rest is my false / split-off self. For instance I have mostly Anglo-Saxon genes, but I think of myself as a person, not an Anglo-Saxon person. If I did, that would part of my false / split-off self, because I didn't choose the genes and can't change them. Therefore, they're part of the external world. To believe those genes are me is the false / split-off self; how I choose to respond to those genes is part of my true self.
- Logic: Simply a verbal and less complex form of math, but much easier to learn and practice once a person unlearns faith and other forms of bigotry.
-- The three classic laws of thought are attributed to Aristotle and are foundational in logic. They are:

• Law of identity
• Law of noncontradiction
• Law of excluded middle

- Ethics and Social Philosophy: Excepting statistical outliers, people can be completely functional without coercion. The outliers need to be treated as sick, not as deserving punishment. Being functional and noncoerced is the best way for people to coexist with each other and the environmental.
- Political Philosophy: Voluntaryist not claiming to have all the answers; rather that better alternatives to Government can be found, even if only in the future.
- Aesthetics: The ultimate art is happiness. It's my meaning of life because happiness is my only activity without a further end and because the only time I've ever wondered about the meaning of life is when I was unhappy. I try to base my other aesthetic preferences as much as possible on my true self.}

George Carlin: .... From his "American Dream" stand-up routine: "There's a reason education SUCKS, and it's the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed. It's never going to get any better, don't look for it, be happy with what you've got. Because the owners of this country don't want that. I'm talking about the REAL owners, now. The REAL owners, the BIG WEALTHY business interests that control things and make all the important decisions -- forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. YOU DON'T. You have no choice. You have OWNERS. They OWN YOU. They own EVERYTHING. They own all the important land, they own and control the corporations; they've long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the State houses, the City Halls; they've got the judges in their back pockets, and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all the news and information you get to hear. They gotcha by the BALLS. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying -- lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want -- they want MORE for themselves and less for everybody else. but I'll tell you what they don't want. They DON'T want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that, that doesn't help them. That's against their interests. That's right. They don't want people who are smart enough to sit around the kitchen table and figure out how badly they're getting FUCKED by system that threw them overboard 30 fuckin' years ago. They don't want that. You know what they want? They want OBEDIENT WORKERS. OBEDIENT WORKERS. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passably accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime, and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And now they're comin' for your SOCIAL SECURITY MONEY. They want your fuckin' retirement money. They want it BACK. So they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They'll get it. They'll get it ALL from you sooner or later -- 'cuz they OWN this fuckin' place. It's a big CLUB. And YOU AIN'T IN IT. You and I are NOT IN the big club. By the way, it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long, beating you over the in their media telling you what to believe -- what to think -- and what to buy. The table is tilted, folks. The game is rigged. And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. Good honest hard-workin people -- white collar, blue collar -- doesn't matter what color shirt you have on. Good honest hard-workin people CONTINUE -- these are people of modest means -- continue to elect these RICH COCKSUCKERS who don't GIVE a fuck about them. They don't give a fuck about you, they don't GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU. T HEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU -- AT ALL. AT ALL. AT ALL. You know? And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care ... that's what the owners count on, the fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that's being jammed up their assholes every day. Because the owners of this country know the truth -- it's called the American Dream ... 'cuz you have to be asleep to believe it."


George Orwell: .... Pen name for Eric Arthur Blair, an English author and journalist. His work is marked by a profound awareness of social injustice, an intense opposition to totalitarianism, a passion for clarity in language, and a belief in democratic socialism. He wrote fiction, polemical journalism, literary criticism, and poetry. He is best known for the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (published in 1949) and the allegorical novella Animal Farm (1945). They have together sold more copies than any two books by any other twentieth-century author. His 1938 book Homage to Catalonia, an account of his experiences as a volunteer on the Republican side during the Spanish Civil War, together with numerous essays on politics, literature, language and culture, are widely acclaimed. His neologisms and the term "Orwellian" are widely accepted as new words in the English language: ^endnote

1984 / Nineteen Eighty-Four: A synonym for living under totalitarianism as in the novel by the same name.


Big Brother: A synonym for abuse of Government power, particularly in respect to civil liberties, often specifically related to mass surveillance. Based on a fictional character in Nineteen Eighty-Four. He is the enigmatic dictator of Oceania, a totalitarian state where everyone is under complete surveillance by the authorities, mainly by telescreens. The people are constantly reminded of this by the phrase "Big Brother is watching you", which is the core "truth" of the propaganda system in this state.


Cold War: Term from the George Orwell essay "You and the Atom Bomb" published in Tribune, 19 October 1945 to describe the situation of a protracted geopolitical, ideological, and economic struggle between nations. The textbook example is the 1946 to 1991 political conflict, military tension, proxy wars, and economic competition between the Communist World -- primarily the Soviet Union and its satellite states and allies -- and the powers of the Western world, primarily the United States and its NATO allies. Both sides possessed nuclear weapons, and because their use would probably guarantee their mutual assured destruction the chief military forces never engaged in a major battle with each other. The nuclear deterrent kept the war 'cold.' The conflict was expressed through military coalitions, strategic conventional force deployments, extensive aid to states deemed vulnerable, proxy wars, espionage, propaganda, conventional and nuclear arms races, appeals to neutral nations, rivalry at sports events, and technological competitions such as the Space Race. The antagonistic behavior that both sides displayed towards their enemy resulted in many crises which risked mutual annihilation in a nuclear exchange. To alleviate risk of nuclear war exacerbated by accident or mistake, both sides sought detente to relieve political tensions and deter direct military attack.


Crimethink: An outlawed type of thinking.


Doublespeak: Deliberately disguising, distorting, or reversing the meaning of words. Doublespeak may take the form of euphemisms (e.g., "downsizing" for layoffs), making the truth less unpleasant, without denying its nature. It may also be deployed as intentional ambiguity, or reversal of meaning (for example, naming a state of war "peace"). In such cases, doublespeak disguises the nature of the truth, producing a communication bypass.


Doublethink: Simultaneously accepting two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct. Its opposite is cognitive dissonance, where the two beliefs cause conflict in one's mind. {http://youtu.be / J_O24tnqs_U}


Memory Hole: Any mechanism for the alteration or disappearance of inconvenient or embarrassing documents, photographs, transcripts, or other records, such as from a web site or other archive, particularly as part of an attempt to give the impression that something never happened.


Newspeak: The deliberately impoverished language promoted by The State. Newspeak removes all shades of meaning from language, leaving simple dichotomies (pleasure and pain, happiness and sadness, goodthink and crimethink) which reinforce the total dominance of The State. Newspeak is closely based on English but has a greatly reduced and simplified vocabulary and grammar. This suits the totalitarian regime of the Party, whose aim is to make any alternative thinking impossible by removing any words or possible constructs which describe the ideas of freedom, disobedience, etc. The Newspeak term for the English language is Oldspeak.


Oldspeak: The Newspeak term for the formal English language.


Orwellian: The situation, idea, or societal condition destructive to personal freedom. It connotes an attitude and a policy of control by propaganda, surveillance, misinformation, denial of truth, and manipulation of the past, including the "unperson" - a person whose past existence is expunged from the public record and memory. Some Orwellian methods are thousands of years old, but George Orwell explained and updated them so well that it's convenient to use a term based on his name to refer to it all. The term Orwellian most often describes an alternate set of words to represent illusion rather than reality; e.g., "quantitative easing" rather than "printing money."


Prolefeed: The deliberately superficial literature, movies, and music produced by Prolesec, a section of the Ministry of Truth, to keep the "proles" (i.e., proletariat) content and to prevent them from becoming too knowledgeable. The ruling Party believes that too much knowledge could motivate the proles to rebel against them. In the novel, Prolesec is described in detail: "And the Ministry had not only to supply the multifarious needs of the party, but also to repeat the whole operation at a lower level for the benefit of the proletariat. There was a whole chain of separate departments dealing with proletarian literature, music, drama, and entertainment generally. Here were produced rubbishy newspapers containing almost nothing except sport, crime and astrology, sensational five-cent novelettes, films oozing with sex, and sentimental songs which were composed entirely by mechanical means on a special kind of kaleidoscope known as a versificator. There was even a whole sub-section -- Pornosec, it was called in Newspeak-engaged in producing the lowest kind of pornography, which was sent out in sealed packets and which no Party member, other than those who worked on it, was permitted to look at."


Thoughtcrime: An outlawed type of thought.


Thought Police: The secret police of Oceania in Nineteen Eighty-Four. It is the job of the Thought Police to uncover and punish thoughtcrime and thought-criminals, using psychology and omnipresent surveillance from telescreens to monitor, search, find and kill members of society who could potentially challenge authority and status quo, even only by thought, hence the name Thought Police. The term was related to Orwell's own "power of facing unpleasant facts", as he called it, and his willingness to criticize prevailing ideas which brought him into conflict with others and their "smelly little orthodoxies." orwell-politics-and-english-language.pdf

Gold Standard: The gold standard is a monetary system in which the standard economic unit of account is a fixed mass of gold. The silver standard is the same except using silver rather than gold. The free market standard is the same except using whatever the free market chooses, including multiple standards if so desired. For instance Alexander Hamilton created economic problems when he attempted to legislate the relative value of gold to silver rather than let a free market set the values.

[Further Description] .... {Epiphany about real money compared to currency, and fiat money compared to commodity money: Money is something the holder can be more than 99% confident will maintain a useable consistent value from day to day for purposes of exchange. For instance if I have about 100 excess perfectly good eggs and would like to trade them for some beef, I'm reasonably sure how much beef I can get IF I can find someone who BOTH has excess beef AND wants eggs. But if I'm in a society that recognizes money, I only have to find someone with some excess money who wants some eggs. For over 100,000 years we humans have used forms of money such as spearheads, arrowheads, pelts, seashells, jewels, metals, whiskey, wine, beer, cattle, sheep, etc. The ideal monies turned out to be those that were (1) Easily transportable; (2) Not spoilable; (3) Easily divisible for smaller purchases; (4) Rare enough to always be valued but available enough to be wide spread; (5) Widely accepted as a medium of exchange that reasonably holds its value from day to day. Gold has and does best fit all five requirements and has thus become a STANDARD -- standard as opposed to a medium. With the gold standard, it was and is used for larger purchases such as land, but other monies were and are used for smaller purchases such as daily food. The emphasis in "gold standard" is on STANDARD, NOT gold. That is, all the other commodities used for money were and are valued in their relation to how much gold they could and can be traded for. When Governments have specified by law what such ratios would be, grave economic damage always followed; e.g., Alexander Hamilton and his Government "bi-metallic" standard.

So along comes currency. Commodity mony can be hard to carry around, so when cuniform tablets and then paper was invented, people could trade with a light load as opposed to a heavy load. For instance it's much easier to put the title of car up for collateral than it is to park the car in the lender's parking lot. The car is the commodity and the title is the currency. The same is true of paper notes compared to gold or other commodities . The buyer can BUT were compared to their value in gold because that was

}
Goldplating: (slang) Making a product unnecessarily expensive or a concept unnecessarily complex for hidden agendas reasons. For instance some replacement part specifications include an extra level of detail needed for no other reason than to raise the price or limit the source. An example unnecessarily complex concept is Keynesian economic theory as compared to Classical or Austrian School economic theory. While all economic theories allege to help raise everyone's standard of living, the complexity of Keynesian exists simply to create the illusion that economics is too complex a science for the average person to understand and must be left to alleged experts employed by the establishment. The alleged experts have a stake in the complexity justifying their pseudo jobs.



Governance: ....


Government / Statism / Statist / The State: [Standard Definition] Government is a social institution consisting of a person or a group of persons holding a monopoly on the [alleged] legitimate use of violent aggression in a given geographic area.

Statism is the belief that the centralization of power in a Government is the ideal or best way to organize humanity. Statist refers to a person who accepts the statism concept.

The State refers to the overall social institution of Government; i.e., in daily language to say "the Government" usually refers to the country or empire one finds herself or himself a part of, whether voluntarily or not. To say "The State" clarifies the overall social institution is being discussed rather than instances or types of Government. The term The State was first formally used (according to surviving histories) by German social scientist Max Weber, who in a lecture given in 1918 (which would eventually be published in 1919 under the name "The Politics of Vocation") set out a formal definition of The State, and demonstrated the link between that and what is called "legitimacy." In his paper " Society Without a State", historian and economist Murray_Rothbard wrote "Let me say from the beginning that I define The State as that institution which possesses one or both (almost always both) of the following properties: (1) it acquires its income by the physical coercion known as "taxation"; and (2) it asserts and usually obtains a coerced monopoly of the provision of defense service (police and courts) over a given territorial area." I and many others often say and write "Government" rather than "The State" if it makes conversation and writing less clumsy.

[Further Description] In the scheme of social class, Government is the nobility enforcing oligarch decisions concerning producers. Government is an institution in the same way a family is an institution. You can't touch a family, only its members. The difference is the force monopoly attracts sociopaths to create a social structure of oligarchs and nobles with privileges not allowed to producers. The privileges create a ratchet effect of wealth transfer to expand Government size until, like a cancer, it destroys the host. Unlike cancers in patients who can sometimes recover before being destroyed, Governments only avoid collapse when they're taken over or put on artificial life support by other Governments. The type of Government may be relevant to the collapse timeline, but not collapse itself.

I don't call myself "
anti-Government"; only anti-falsehood. The State is false in relation to human thriving and in relation to being anything more than human parasites armed better than their human hosts. Aggression isn't rational or justifiable for any individual, therefore it's not rational or justifiable for any group of individuals. I see a human race fork in the road. The first is extinction of humans as a species, very likely related to Government factors. The second future generations phasing out The State. This will probably exclude sophism and include privatization of everything; but I don't need to know the details of how they will do it. I just try to help keep the liberty message alive for them.

"Government produces bads, not goods." - Hans-Hermann Hoppe, from his lecture "State or Private Law Society?" recorded on YouTube.com.

Here he also makes the points that taxation is theft and is the very lifeblood of The State; that monopolies prevent almost all innovation, including client self-defense and self-determination; that constitutions are interpreted by the people who constitutions allegedly limit; that Government has the disadvantages of a contract with none of the advantages because it's one-way, for instance contractual voiding if one side breaks the contract; normal contracts require restitution, Government "services" don't, and to add insult to injury most crimes allow the Government to make money from the proceedings and the criminal going to jail at taxpayer expense; Government performance is disconnected from pay so the pain-gain ratio is turned upside down, with Government externalizing costs of its errors and its misbehavior/aggression/risks. To Hans-Hermann's comments, I add that everything Government does, e.g., compulsory schooling, is a conflict of interest.

"Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else." - Frederic Bastiat

"War is the health of The State." - Randolph Bourne

Greed: .... [Standard Definition] An alleged selfish or excessive desire for more than is needed or deserved, especially of money, wealth, food, or other possessions. I say alleged because (1), it's simply human nature to desire enough wealth to have an excess for times of scarcity, however this can be perverted by toxic culture; and (2), the persons judging who is and who isn't greedy are equally as human as those they're accusing; i.e., the accusers use the concept greed as an excuse to practice their preferred form of greed. Thus the point isn't who's allegedly greedy, but rather who's creating wealth and who's transferring it. The concept of greed is also used as a distraction from the only valid form of human morality and ethics, the self-ownership/nonaggression axiom.

Human Host-Parasite Social Structure / Neofeudalism / Tax Farming: [Standard Definition] A social structure is pattern of social arrangements in society that originate from individuals and influence the actions of other individuals. In biology, a parasite is an organism that exists by stealing the resources produced/collected by another living organism. A host is cell or organism which harbors another organism or biological entity, usually a parasite. The words host and parasite are also commonly used to describe some people's roles in society.

[Further Description] Primitive human-on-human preying instincts and institutions such as slavery evolved into the present racket of political "borders" being fictional but "legally" binding human livestock fences maintained mostly through memes such as horizontal enforcement. The most successful parasites are those the host fails to recognize, thus the criticality of social engineering to the human host-parasite social structure. The fact that most producer-hosts don't think of themselves as hosts is the very nature of neoserfdom, aka neofeudalism, aka tax farming; that they're in a feudal-type system without knowing it. In the YouTube clip The Story of Your Enslavement, Stefan Molyneux explains:

"..Like all animals, human beings want to dominate and exploit the resources around them.

At first, we mostly hunted and fished and ate off the land -- but then something magical and terrible happened to our minds.

We became, alone among the animals, afraid of death, and of future loss.

And this was the start of a great tragedy, and an even greater possibility...

You see, when we became afraid of death, of injury, and imprisonment, we became controllable -- and so valuable -- in a way that no other resource could ever be.

The greatest resource for any human being to control is not natural resources, or tools, or animals or land -- but other human beings.

You can frighten an animal, because animals are afraid of pain in the moment, but you cannot frighten an animal with a loss of liberty, or with torture or imprisonment in the future, because animals have very little sense of tomorrow.

You cannot threaten a cow with torture, or a sheep with death. You cannot swing a sword at a tree and scream at it to produce more fruit, or hold a burning torch to a field and demand more wheat.

You cannot get more eggs by threatening a hen - but you can get a man to give you his eggs by threatening him.

Human farming has been the most profitable -- and destructive -- occupation throughout history, and it is now reaching its destructive climax.

Human society cannot be rationally understood until it is seen for what it is: a series of farms where human farmers own human livestock.

Some people get confused because Governments provide healthcare and water and education and roads, and thus imagine that there is some benevolence at work.

Nothing could be further from reality.

Farmers provide healthcare and irrigation and training to their livestock.

Some people get confused because we are allowed certain liberties, and thus imagine that our Government protects our freedoms.

But farmers plant their crops a certain distance apart to increase their yields -- and will allow certain animals larger stalls or fields if it means they will produce more meat and milk.

In your country, your tax farm, your farmer grants you certain freedoms not because he cares about your liberties, but because he wants to increase his profits.

Are you beginning to see the nature of the cage you were born into?

There have been four major phases of human farming.

The first phase, in ancient Egypt, was direct and brutal human compulsion. Human bodies were controlled, but the creative productivity of the human mind remained outside the reach of the whip and the brand and the shackles. Slaves remained woefully underproductive, and required enormous resources to control.

The second phase was the Roman model, wherein slaves were granted some capacity for freedom, ingenuity and creativity, which raised their productivity. This increased the wealth of Rome, and thus the tax income of the Roman Government - and with this additional wealth, Rome became an empire, destroying the economic freedoms that fed its power, and collapsed.

I'm sure that this does not seem entirely unfamiliar.

After the collapse of Rome, the feudal model introduced the concept of livestock ownership and taxation. Instead of being directly owned, peasants farmed land that they could retain as long as they paid off the local warlords.

This model broke down due to the continual subdivision of productive land, and was destroyed during the Enclosure movement, when land was consolidated, and hundreds of thousands of peasants were kicked off their ancestral lands, because new farming techniques made larger farms more productive with fewer people.

The increased productivity of the late Middle Ages created the excess food required for the expansion of towns and cities, which in turn gave rise to the modern Democratic model of human ownership.

As displaced peasants flooded into the cities, a huge stock of cheap human capital became available to the rising industrialists - and the ruling class of human farmers quickly realized that they could make more money by letting their livestock choose their own occupations.

Under the Democratic model, direct slave ownership has been replaced by the Mafia model. The Mafia rarely owns businesses directly, but rather sends thugs around once a month to steal from the business 'owners.'

You are now allowed to choose your own occupation, which raises your productivity - and thus the taxes you can pay to your masters.

Your few freedoms are preserved because they are profitable to your owners.

The great challenge of the Democratic model is that increases in wealth and freedom threaten the farmers. The ruling classes initially profit from a relatively free market in capital and labor, but as their livestock become more used to their freedoms and growing wealth, they begin to question why they need rulers at all.

Ah well. Nobody ever said that human farming was easy.

Keeping the tax livestock securely in the compounds of the ruling classes is a three phase process.

The first is to indoctrinate the young through Government 'education.' As the wealth of democratic countries grew, Government schools were universally inflicted in order to control the thoughts and souls of the livestock.

The second is to turn citizens against each other through the creation of dependent livestock.

It is very difficult to rule human beings directly through force -- and where it can be achieved, it remains cripplingly underproductive, as can be seen in North Korea. Human beings do not breed well or produce efficiently in direct captivity.

If human beings believe that they are free, then they will produce much more for their farmers. The best way to maintain this illusion of freedom is to put some of the livestock on the payroll of the farmer. Those cows that become dependent on the existing hierarchy will then attack any other cows who point out the violence, hypocrisy and immorality of human ownership.

Freedom is slavery, and slavery is freedom.

If you can get the cows to attack each other whenever anybody brings up the reality of their situation, then you don't have to spend nearly as much controlling them directly.

Those cows who become dependent upon the stolen largess of the farmer will violently oppose any questioning of the virtue of human ownership -- and the intellectual and artistic classes, always and forever dependent upon the farmers -- will say, to anyone who demands freedom from ownership: "You will harm your fellow cows."

The livestock are kept enclosed by shifting the moral responsibility for the destructiveness of a violent system to those who demand real freedom.

The third phase is to invent continual external threats, so that the frightened livestock cling to the "protection" of the farmers.

This system of human farming is now nearing its end.

The terrible tragedy of the modern American system has occurred not in spite of, but because of past economic freedoms.

The massive increases in American wealth throughout the 19th century resulted from economic freedom -- and it was this very increase in wealth that fed the size and power of The State.

Whenever the livestock become exponentially more productive, you get a corresponding increase in the number of farmers and their dependents.

The growth of The State is always proportional to the preceding economic freedoms.

Economic freedoms create wealth, and the wealth attracts more thieves and political parasites, whose greed then destroys the economic freedoms.

In other words, freedom metastasizes the cancer of The State.

The Government that starts off the smallest will always end up the largest.

This is why there can be no viable and sustainable alternative to a truly free and peaceful society.

A society without political rulers, without human ownership, without the violence of taxation and statism...

To be truly free is both very easy, and very hard.

We avoid the horror of our enslavement because it is painful to see it directly.

We dance around the violence of our dying system because we fear the attacks of our fellow livestock.

But we can only be kept in the cages we refuse to see.

Awaken, Matrix-babies...

To see the farm is to leave it."

Institution / Social Institution: [Standard Definition] (1) In communities and societies, an organization devoted to promoting a cause. In most cases the primary purpose of such institutions becomes self-continuance. Physical assets are common but optional among social institutions. (2) In sociology, a structure or mechanism of social order and cooperation governing or influencing behavior of a set of individuals within a given human community. Institutions are identified with a social purpose and permanence, transcending individual human lives and intentions, and with the making and enforcing of rules governing cooperative human behavior.

[Further Description] .... I've concluded everything in life concerning two or more interacting humans is a social institution. For instance the "family", or more accurately "the family in its many variations", is an institution about 100,00 years older than The State in its many variations. The textbook example is Robinson Crusoe. If it's only him, there are no social institutions unless he fantasizes a companion like "Wilson" in the Tom Hanks movie "Cast Away". For Robinson, the other person who came along known as Friday caused the two to necessarily come to some agreements; e.g., not to eat human flesh unless one was in the last stages of fatal starvation (whalers, navies, etc. had that standard back then). So the two came to a compromise they could both live with. I say "compromise" because no doubt Robinson changed/restrained one of his preferences in exchange for Friday changing/restraining one of his.

The point of the above paragraph is that all social concepts are abstract (you can't touch a relationship, you can only touch an individual) and complicated in their interpretation for physical as opposed to academic life. Examples are "rights", "justice", "law", "aggression", "property" (e.g. when does a fetus own him or herself), etc. are all social institutions and it's mostly irrelevant whether or not I as an individual agree or disagree with a particular definition of a particular social institution -- what's more relevant is what the people outnumbering/outforcing me agree on. In present USSA society, animal, child, and spouse abuse are textbook examples of how one person's interpretation/opinion is only relevent as far as the abuser can keep his or her actions hidden from the consensus of those outnumbering/outforcing him or her. The abuse becoming publicly visible is just like not paying taxes -- resistance is futile. ....

For context and comparison, a group is two or (usually) more people physically or virtually together. For instance three people in a jail may be enemies but are still a group. Three people arguing on an Internet blog are a virtual group, as are voters who all vote the same. An organization and a team are both groups physically or virtually working towards a primary goal with the difference being that organizations may or may not be coerced to do so, while a team works together voluntarily; typically in a specialized area of competency such as a sport or craft. So all organizations are groups, but not all groups are organizations. All teams are organizations, but not all organizations are teams. Any of those three could or could not be an institution, but a social institution such as the family only exists where there's more than one person. All groups are abstractions: You can't touch them, you can only touch their individual parts.

Social engineering is an institution in the definition (2) sense. For instance Hans Herman Hoppe pointed out that Robinson Crusoe had no need for morals, ethics, rights, etc. until he discovered another person on the island. When he and that other person met and agreed upon how to get along, they instituted rights between each other. Their co-recognized and followed rights weren't passed to another generation, but they were a social institution nonetheless because they followed the same pattern over a considerable period of time. So whether or not rights come from a deity or from nature is secondary to those rights being instituted or not instituted among those a person interacts with. To me this illustrates that anything two or more people institute successfully is an institution during that success. For instance I disagree with statutory law, but the Government I'm surrounded by enforces it on me, so whether I comply because I agree or am coerced to is irrelevant; it's instituted on me, even if I resist and pay the consequences. So most or all abstractions that groups consistently follow are institutions. Examples are laws, regulations, rights, families, traditions, ideologies, etc., etc. The individual side of institutions is what the individual claims in relation to that institution, and whether or not that individual will agree, participate, cooperate, resist, etc. For instance a right, such as free speech, is a personal claim; and if recognized by others, also a social institution. How widespread of a social institution is another matter.


Guy Fawkes Mask:

Guy Fawkes Masks

Guy Fawkes was a member of a group of provincial English Catholics who planned the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605. The plotters secured the lease to an undercroft beneath the House of Lords, and Fawkes was placed in charge of the gunpowder they stockpiled there. Prompted by the receipt of an anonymous letter, the authorities searched Westminster Palace during the early hours of 5 November, and found Fawkes guarding the explosives. Over the next few days, he was questioned and tortured, and eventually he broke. Immediately before his execution on 31 January, Fawkes jumped from the scaffold where he was to be hanged and broke his neck, thus avoiding the agony of the mutilation that followed. Fawkes became synonymous with the Gunpowder Plot, the failure of which has been commemorated in England since 5 November 1605. His effigy is often burned on a bonfire, commonly accompanied by a firework display.

The Guy Fawkes mask is a stylized depiction of Guy Fawkes. While the use of a mask on an effigy has long roots as part of Guy Fawkes Night celebrations, a stylized mask designed by illustrator David Lloyd came to represent broader protest after it was used as a major plot element in V for Vendetta, published in 1982, and its 2006 film adaptation. After appearing in Internet forums, the mask was worn by participants in real-life protests and has become widespread internationally among groups protesting against politicians, banks and financial institutions, such as the "Occupy" protests. The mask portrays a white face with a subtle smile, a wide mustache upturned at both ends, and a thin vertical pointed beard.

Happiness / Meaning of Life / Pursuit of Happiness:
Happiness is a mental state of well-being characterized by positive emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. I agree with Aristotle that happiness is the meaning of life because everything else we humans do is for some other purpose; i.e., I achieve happiness for its own sake, and everything else I do is in order to be happy. I observe collectivists hijacking this truth and substituting institutions or people other than the individual as the meaning of life; e.g., the purpose of life is to "Make a dent", "To praise God", "To live God's purpose for your life", "Ask not what your country can do for you", etc.


Harry Browne: (1933 - 2006) An American free-market Libertarian writer and the Libertarian Party's 1996 & 2000 candidate for President of the United States. He was also a well-known investment advisor for over thirty years, originator of the Permanent Portfolio concept, a consultant to the Permanent Portfolio Family of Funds, and author of "Harry Browne's Special Report" -- a financial newsletter published from 1974-1997. He was the author of 19 books and thousands of articles, Co-founder and Director of Public Policy of the libertarian Downsize DC Foundation, host of two weekly network radio shows -- one a political and the other a financial show, host of an eTV (internet-based television) show called "This Week in Liberty with Harry Browne" on the Internet based Free Market News Network, and a popular inspirational public speaker.
One of his classic quotes: "Government is good at one thing: It knows how to break your legs, hand you a crutch, and say, "See, if it weren't for the Government, you wouldn't be able to walk.'" - Harry Browne
His book How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World (1973), is described by the Harry Browne website as "How you can apply libertarian principles to your personal life to have greater freedom from those who would like to tell you how to live your life -- whether the Government, relatives, friends, or just nosey people." I read it and I agree. In it he stated that most people are only about 30% free, when they could be 70% free by applying libertarian principles to all their life areas. I agree with that also because social engineering causes people to assume they owe much of their life to the social contract when most life areas such as other-people pleasing are unenforcible once one gets past the peer pressure. Government tax, licenses, searches, laws, regulations, etc. are intrusive in proportion to one's Government exposure through one's type of work, lifestyle, and use of legal loopholes. It's true that in most industrialized countries a person with a high income can often buy the right to be mostly left alone by Government and still live comfortably on the income left over. Persons with low incomes suffer much more from Government intrusions. For instance the inflation we're all mandated to suffer greatly hurts those already living close to the edge, and those same people are more likely to join militaries, take lower paying Government jobs, or rely on Government programs that are increasingly intrusive and subject to drastic reduction at a moment's notice.
Thus my idea of a mild serf/neoserf is one who is 70% free as described in the previous paragraph
and who understands that he or she is a partial serf commensurate with the amount of Government extortion (taxes), time wasted out of one's life by Government compulsory activities such as public schooling, the abuses of social engineering , etc. To be unaware of being a partial serf is to be more of a serf in the tradition of Harriet Tubman stating "I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves." Additionally, to be unaware is to help socially engineer others. To put a percentage on one's degree of serfdom is subjective, but I suggest a reference point of having zero intrusion and full happiness in one's life to be 100% freedom, and to be a chattel slave or the equivalent (i.e., democided, brutal as opposed to white-collar incarceration, etc.) as having 0% freedom -- the bottom level of the serf/neoserf hierarchy is to be a chattel slave. In my experience, whoever's been socially engineered can never be 100% socially unengineered, but can be more unengineered than engineered, and can continually be less engineered.


Harry Markopolos:
Former securities industry executive and independent financial fraud investigator for institutional investors and others seeking forensic accounting expertise. He has received public acclaim for uncovering evidence over a period of nine years that Bernard Madoff's wealth management business was actually a massive Ponzi scheme. (Madoff was ultimately sentenced to 150 years in prison after admitting to operating the biggest Ponzi scheme in history. In March 2010 his book on uncovering the Madoff fraud was published titled, No One Would Listen: A True Financial Thriller. It was ghostwritten by David Fisher and reportedly has a first-hand account of uncovering the Madoff fraud and Markopolos's experience repeatedly tipping off the SEC, as well as explaining how Madoff duped his victims. In a 2010 media interview Markopolos was scathing in his criticism of the US Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) for both failing to uncover the Madoff fraud in spite of repeated tips, and also for failing to investigate the larger firms under their supervision. He also described the "private moments" he's had with victims of the Madoff fraud as: "Heartfelt, gut-wrenching things. People trying to commit suicide or losing loved ones who've died of heartbreak."


Hate: [Standard Definition] To dislike intensely; to feel strong hostility towards.

[Further Description] Hate describes an emotion and is thus a thing not chosen. So The Statement "Hate is wrong" is completely inaccurate. The accurate statement is "Hate is simply intense resentment, and if a person is to maximize his or her freedom, must be resolved."


Hierarchy: ....


Henry David Thoreau: An American author, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, historian, and leading transcendentalist. He is best known for his book Walden, a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings, and his essay Civil Disobedience, an argument for individual resistance to civil Government in moral opposition to an unjust state. Thoreau's books, articles, essays, journals, and poetry total over 20 volumes. Among his lasting contributions were his writings on natural history and philosophy, where he anticipated the methods and findings of ecology and environmental history, two sources of modern day environmentalism. His literary style interweaves close natural observation, personal experience, pointed rhetoric, symbolic meanings, and historical lore; while displaying a poetic sensibility, philosophical austerity, and "Yankee" love of practical detail. He was also deeply interested in the idea of survival in the face of hostile elements, historical change, and natural decay; at the same time he advocated abandoning waste and illusion in order to discover life's true essential needs. He was a lifelong abolitionist, delivering lectures that attacked the Fugitive Slave Law while praising the writings of Wendell Phillips and defending abolitionist John Brown. Thoreau's philosophy of civil disobedience influenced the political thoughts and actions of such later figures as Leo Tolstoy, Mohandas Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Thoreau is sometimes cited as an individualist anarchist. Though Civil Disobedience seems to call for improving rather than abolishing Government -- "I ask for, not at once no Government, but at once a better Government" -- the direction of this improvement points toward anarchism: "'That Government is best which governs not at all;' and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of Government which they will have." Thoreau also stated "There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root."

Hippie / Hippy: .... [Standard slang Definition] A term primarily from an approximately 1964 to 1974 era U.S. and European subculture of many who chose not to conform to social norms in areas such as music, work, travel, use of a wide variety of mood altering substances for experimentation and recreation, more open and flexible sexual mores to include experimentation and ethnic intermarriage, advocacy of communal living, and strong pacifism or anti-aggression / war sentiment. A similar subculture existed from approximately 1945 to 1963, but I call those participants beatniks because of the different timeframe and cultural details. I'm tempted to call Henry David Thoreau a hippie because so many of his ideas and practices were incorporated into hippiedom, but he was more of a lone wolf than a subculture member. He especially practiced what I consider a hippie trait of being employed no more than needed to very modestly sustain himself because he valued independent experience and contemplation above materialism. However, when he did work, he labored skillfully and hard, as did many hippies I knew. Interestingly, this counters a stereotype equating hippiedom with laziness.

Counter cultures existed before 1945, but other than formal religions, none I'm aware of that were both widespread and directly counter to the mainstream. The closest is probably the western civilization abolition movement that started in the 1700s and peaked in the middle 1800s, but I consider single issue movements too narrow in scope to be considered subcultures or counter cultures. Some formal religions had elements countering the mainstream at the time of their introduction, but their robotic nature makes them single issue movements in my eyes.

I see the 1975 to 2010 era as a cultural assimilation era. To me, the establishment was saying "Any widespread subculture from now on will be in style only." So after the hippie era came music and dress eras, but no widespread countering of core culture. It's okay for men to have long hair as long as it's neat, clean, and has no split ends. Women can be liberated but not too liberated. It's okay for sex to be a little bit looser but not loose enough for anyone but the partners themselves to know it's looser. It's only okay to protest in favor of more Government control. Attempts to legalize pot are becoming mainstream but are hitting a centralized Government control wall.

I consider 2010 a threshold year for the return of a widespread counter culture. I say that because in 2008 a majority of U.S. voters elected a forty-something year old president who promised change, change, change. By 2010, the only change was a hardening of the previous president's line. The young president's contradictions had the effect of Toto pulling the curtain away from the phony wizard. This time the curtain was hiding a talking head and document signer for the same people who hired the last one and many of the ones previous. I call this beginning widespread counter culture the minarchist / anarchist subculture because at this point in time I see minarchists and anarchists as a nonviolent alliance because they have the same direction.

It's interesting to compare my 1970 to 1974 hippie state of mind to its present state. {paste from hippieportrait} .... {us hippies had no reference points, had no philosophical tools, had tangents like metaphysical stuff, had baby brains, etc.}

Historical Revisionism: .... [Standard Definition] {e.g. excluding Spooner,...} Pseudo history is .... In historiography, historical revisionism is the reinterpretation of orthodox views on evidence, motivations, and decision-making processes surrounding a historical event. Though the word "revisionism" is sometimes used in a negative way, constant revision of history is part of the normal scholarly process of writing history. Examples of revisionist historians are Thomas DiLorenzo, Thomas E. Woods, and Howard Zinn.^endnote

[Further Description] .... I compare history / current events' role in the human brain to an operating system's role in a computer. The OS tells the computer's memory where the keyboard, display, communication ports, etc. are. The historical narrative believed by the brain tells it what groups of people and what types of actions to trust more or less than other groups and types of actions. For instance those believing the 1930s great depression was caused by lax Government regulation are more likely to trust Government than those who believe it was caused by central banks. { There's a widespread and wrong idea that history is dead; coincidentally, this idea promotes the status-quo. The truth is that history lives in what we are physically made of, what we think, and how and why we live, reproduce, and die the way we do. The primary abuse of history / current events, as with most academic subjects, is to force it on captive students. A further wrong is to exclude current events. The truth is that as these events become reported, they become history. Further, history deserves study in proportion to its effect on the living. Thus history deserves to be studied as an input for individuals and groups shaping their own near and not-too-distant-future.}

Horizontal Enforcement / Parasitic Horizontal Enforcement: In the context of society, horizontal means two or more people at the same social hierarchy core level. In the context of a tax farm, horizontal enforcement is the action of nonescapees at the same hierarchy level manipulating each other to remain mentally and thus physically confined; or when the individual refuses to be mentally or physically confined, to help physically confine, torture, or murder that person. Another cause of horizontally confining, torturing, and murdering is to loot others' possessions such as land for the benefit of the elite. "The State is the slaves attacking each other...

Human: [Standard Definition] .... Humans (known taxonomically as Homo sapiens) are the only living species in the Homo genus. Anatomically modern humans originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago, reaching full behavioral modernity around 50,000 years ago.

Humans have a highly developed brain and are capable of abstract reasoning, language, introspection, and problem solving. This mental capability, combined with an erect body carriage that frees the hands for manipulating objects, has allowed humans to make far greater use of tools than any other living species on Earth. Other higher-level thought processes of humans, such as self-awareness, rationality, and sapience, are considered to be defining features of what constitutes a "person".

Humans are uniquely adept at utilizing systems of communication for self-expression, the exchange of ideas, and organization. Humans create complex social structures composed of many cooperating and competing groups, from families and kinship networks, to nations. Social interactions between humans have established an extremely wide variety of values, social norms, and rituals, which together form the basis of human society. With individuals widespread in every continent except Antarctica, humans are a cosmopolitan species. As of November 2011, the human population was estimated by the United Nations Population Division to be about 7 billion, and by the United States Census Bureau to be about 6.97 billion.

Humans are noted for their desire to understand and influence their environment, seeking to explain and manipulate phenomena through science, philosophy, mythology, and religion. This natural curiosity has led to the development of advanced tools and skills, which are passed down culturally; humans are the only species known to build fires, cook their food, clothe themselves, and create and use numerous other technologies and arts. The study of humans is the scientific discipline of anthropology.

Individualism / Individualist / the individual: .... [Standard Definition] (1) The moral stance , political philosophy, ideology, or social outlook that stresses the moral worth of the individual. Individualists promote the exercise of one's goals and desires and so value independence and self-reliance while opposing most external interference upon one's own interests, whether by society, family, or any other group or institution. (2) The quality of being an individual; individuality related to possessing an individual characteristic; a quirk. Individualism is thus also associated with artistic and bohemian interests and lifestyles where there is a tendency towards self creation and experimentation as opposed to tradition or popular mass opinions and behaviors as so also with humanist philosophical positions and ethics.

[Further Description] I have yet to see a standard definition that mentions self-ownership. I've informally debated with many collectivists they either completely avoid the subjects of morality or self-ownership, or assert, to paraphrase, that morality means compromising self-ownership. They're asserting this with voice or fingers that by admission they don't own. So whose voice or fingers is sending the message to me? It's a person with a double standard trying to cover the true parasite message that he or she owns not only his or herself, but part or all of you and I as well.

Inertia / Intellectual Inertia / Social Inertia: .... [Standard Definition] Inertia is the tendency of a body at rest to remain at rest until acted upon by a form of energy, and a body in motion to continue in motion in the same direction until the energy causing the motion is exhausted or until again acted upon by a form of energy. Intellectual inertia is the same tendency where the body is an individual's unexamined philosophical assumptions; e.g., the common 1700s belief that chattel slavery will always "be" because it's "always been." Social inertia is the same tendency where the "body" is a society and the energy is special interest coercion for philosophical assumptions to remain unexamined.

Involuntary Medical Experimentation (IME): .... The textbook example of IME is the Nazi human experimentation, a series of medical experiments on large numbers of prisoners by the Nazi German regime in its concentration camps mainly in the early 1940s, during World War II and the Holocaust. Prisoners were coerced into participating; they did not willingly volunteer and there was never informed consent. Typically, the experiments resulted in death, disfigurement or permanent disability, and as such can be considered as examples of medical torture. At Auschwitz and other camps, under the direction of Dr. Eduard Wirths, selected inmates were subjected to various hazardous experiments which were designed to help German military personnel in combat situations, develop new weapons, aid in the recovery of military personnel that had been injured, and to advance the racial ideology backed by the Third Reich. Dr. Aribert Heim conducted similar medical experiments at Mauthausen. Carl Vaernet is known to have conducted experiments on homosexual prisoners in attempts to cure homosexuality. After the war, these crimes were tried at what became known as the Doctors' Trial, and revulsion at the abuses perpetrated led to the development of the Nuremberg Code of medical ethics. Even more infamous than Dr. Wirths is Dr. Josef Mengele. Any Internet search will prove similar IME has occurred and continues to occur in many other countries including the U.S.

Keynesian: A school of macroeconomic thought based on the ideas of 20th-century English economist John Maynard Keynes. It argues that private sector decisions sometimes lead to inefficient macroeconomic outcomes and, therefore, advocates active policy responses by the public sector, including monetary policy actions by the central bank and fiscal policy actions by the Government to stabilize output over the business cycle. Keynesian is practiced by almost all Governments primarily because it rationalizes and justifies them taking more money and power than do contrary economic schools of thought.

Label / Label Abuse: In politics, a label is a name given to something or someone to stereotype or categorize them as part of a particular social group.

Label abuse is a form of abstraction abuse that attempts to create the illusion that relatively minor characteristics of a person move that person into a category justifying stereotyping and in turn the removal of some or all human rights.

The label abuse cycle starts with toddlers learning titles are more important than individual people. My children called me "Dad" but this was wrong and for my last ten years of parenting I was "Pete." Ten years ago as "Dad", I was allowed to coerce them but they weren't allowed to coerce me. Religion, schooling, and lapdog media extend toxic parenting indefinitely to inflame minor instincts into easily manipulated mental dysfunctions. For instance, all the thousands of religions are false except for the one followed by one's family of origin, or tooth fairies and Santa's elves truly exist. Once the natural logic in a child's mind is coerced into creating a fantasies-exist category, any thought not making sense can simply be moved to that mental location, aka the false / split-off self, rather than being investigated with questions punishable by peer pressure and scary adults. Soon after this, the flag of one's geographical area of origin becomes an inspiration to kill and die for, when in reality it's simply colored cloth.

The stone age mental vulnerabilities so available for exploitation originate from the first humans living in an environment comparable in its brutality to the lifeboat scenario of more people than resources, with no end in sight and mother nature herself as a constant terror. Children's survival depended on rapidly identifying their caretakers. In the common occurrence of a caretaker's death, surviving children were those fortunate enough to receive a new mama or papa. The individual was secondary to the title. Our present world is only like a lifeboat scenario because our thinking typically remains stone age. Thinking a label is the same as what's labeled helped make the 1930s-1940s Holocaust and many other holocausts possible, all at a great profit to a very few.

Layman / Layperson: .... [Standard Definition]

[Further Description] {I consider myself a layperson writing to inform laypersons and professionals. By professional I mean the standard definition of a person who has a high level of education, training, or skill in one or more specific occupations, trades, crafts, or activities; and is recognized as such by diploma, certification, or great reputation. So I'm no longer a professional (military member and trainer). I'm a jack-of-all-trades worker and freelance writing student. I'm educated in my layperson roles at the
complex but not professional level; meaning I have enough knowledge, skill, and attitudinal control to know what I want, how to achieve it, and how to prevent others from taking advantage of me in those layperson areas. If I was a professional jack-of-all-trades worker I would have a great reputation and could demand top dollar. If I was a professional freelance writer I would be making top dollar.
However, no "professional" can better "regulate", "manage", or "lead" me or my complex layperson areas better than I. }


Legal Tender and Related Laws: .... [Standard Definition] A common misunderstanding is that the U.S. Constitution... but this wasn't a legal tender law because...


Legitimate Self-Governing Functions: .... The three legitimate purposes of Government are (1) To prevent individuals or small groups of individuals from aggressing against each other, and in cases not prevented, to contain and minimize the damage. This is traditionally called "police protection." (2) To provide arbitration and consequences for violations of persons, property, and binding contracts. This is traditionally called "the courts." (3) To prevent large groups of individuals from aggressing against each other, and in cases not prevented, to contain and minimize the damage. This is traditionally called the "military and diplomacy" function. Obviously these core functions have had riders added by persons calling themselves "Government." So By "legitimate" I mean conforming to the non-aggression/self-ownership axiom. By "self-governing" I mean people agreeing on how to get along with each other ahead of time, e.g., belonging to Dispute Resolution Organizations (DROs) rather than escalation and caveman stuff like sharia law, Hatfields-and-McCoys, democide, etc. An example of self-governance is I'm responsible to govern myself, my young offspring, my pets, my industriousness in a way that it doesn't pollute others' property, and so on. I'm also imperfect so despite best intentions I may need to admit I made a mistake and make fair and sane restitution. This is where the concept of PB-CLADS overlaps with DROs and other free-market cooperation.

Magic / Religion / Soul / Spiritual / Supernatural / Superstition: [Standard Definition] Superstition is the belief not based on human reason or scientific knowledge, that future events may be influenced by one's behavior in some magical way. Magic is an alleged supernatural method that can dominate natural forces. The words supernatural and spiritual both mean the alleged part of reality acting outside of the laws of physics, often having an intelligence. Religion shares these characteristics except they're collective agreements or demands, especially behavioral standards, as opposed to supernatural concepts not collectively supported or enforced. To most people the soul is the alleged intangible part of a person that never dies, but can also mean personality, or the uniqueness of a culture or personality.

[Further Description] The problem with people believing reality can act outside of the laws of physics is they're vulnerable to magical thinking.

This extreme false / split-off self is useful to the nobility for purposes such as sabotage and murder by a person with minimal or no memory of any events related to his or her extreme false / split-off self.


Manhattan Project: ....


Margin Call: .... When the margin posted in the margin account is below the minimum margin requirement, the broker or exchange issues a margin call. The investors now either have to increase the margin that they have deposited or close out their position. They can do this by selling the securities, options or futures if they are long and by buying them back if they are short. but if they do none of these, then the broker can sell their securities to meet the margin call. If a margin call occurs unexpectedly, it can cause a domino effect of selling which will lead to other margin calls and so forth... Effectively crashing an asset class or group of asset classes.

This situation most frequently happens as a result of an adverse change in the market value of the leveraged asset or contract. It could also happen when the margin requirement is raised, either due to increased volatility or due to legislation. In extreme cases, certain securities may cease to qualify for margin trading; in such a case, the brokerage will require the trader to either fully fund their position, or to liquidate it.

Market Mechanism: .... In economics, the use of money exchanged by buyers and sellers with an open and understood system of value and time trade offs to produce the best distribution of goods and services.

Mindset / Mindset Label: .... [Standard Definition] A mindset is a way of thinking; an attitude or opinion, especially a habitual one.

[Further Description] Some people consider a mindset to be the same as an ideology, but most (as do I) consider mindset to apply to one person, and ideology to apply to a group of people. In this context, a label is a name given to categorize someone as part of a particular social group. A mindset label is to categorize someone based on their mindset or perceived mindset. For instance I ascertain it was socially toxic for Government to create corporations, and social nontoxicity requires both to be phased out. However I was once accused of wanting to give corporations more power by someone who categorized me as "libertarian", and to whom corporatism was wrongly perceived to be part of the libertarian definition.

Some labels apply to me, e.g., male, veteran, diabetic, etc.; but those aren't mindset labels. Our global society is so Orwellianized that to use most mindset or ideology labels is to cooperate with social engineering . Therefore I call my mindset unideology, meaning to reach conclusions based on logic and evidence, and to continuously seek out errors or updates in either. It also means to accept the self-ownership/nonaggression axiom (best stated by Murray Rothbard in his paper Law and Property Rights) because otherwise economic and political discussion is impossible. I further describe my mindset in my Background blurb.

Mood Altering Substance (MAS): .... [Standard Definition] A psychoactive drug, psychopharmaceutical, or psychotropic is a chemical substance that crosses the blood-brain barrier and acts primarily upon the central nervous system where it affects brain function, resulting in changes in perception, mood, consciousness, cognition, and behavior. These substances may be used recreationally, to purposefully alter one's consciousness, as entheogens, for ritual, spiritual, and / or shamanic purposes, as a tool for studying or augmenting the mind, or therapeutically as medication. Because psychoactive substances bring about subjective changes in consciousness and mood that the user may find pleasant (e.g. euphoria) or advantageous (e.g. increased alertness), many psychoactive substances are abused, that is, used excessively, despite the health risks or negative consequences. With sustained use of some substances, psychological and physical dependence ("addiction") may develop, making the cycle of abuse even more difficult to interrupt. Drug rehabilitation aims to break this cycle of dependency, through a combination of psychotherapy, support groups and even other psychoactive substances such as acamprosate or naltrexone in the treatment of alcoholism, or methadone or buprenorphine maintenance therapy in the case of opioid dependency. However, the reverse is also true in some cases, that is certain experiences on drugs may be so unfriendly and uncomforting that the user may never want to try the substance again. This is especially true of the deliriants (e.g. datura) and powerful psychoactives (e.g. salvia divinorum). Most purely psychedelic drugs are considered to be non-addictive (LSD, psilocybin, mescaline etc.); "psychedelic amphetamines" (such as MDA, MDMA etc.) may produce an additional stimulant and / or euphoriant effect, and thus have an addiction potential.
In part because of this potential for abuse and dependency, the ethics of drug use are the subject of a continuing philosophical debate. Many Governments worldwide have placed restrictions on drug production and sales; allegedly in an attempt to decrease drug abuse, however some say such restrictions are to favor cartels. Ethical concerns have also been raised about over-use of these drugs clinically, and about their marketing by manufacturers.

• • Liver precisely as my doctor told me.
  • Frontal lobes and thus my:

    • Self respect.
  • Next day's productivity and exercising by making myself sick.
  • Credibility.
  • Relationships.
  • Significant other's sobriety.
  • Urge resolution, for me refocusing and not being where alcohol is available.
  • Problem solving, for me to confront and resolve problems at root levels using PDCA.
  • Balanced life, for me to PDCA my life balance.

Net Worth: .... In business, net worth (sometimes called net assets) is the total assets minus total outside liabilities of an individual or a company. For a company, this is called shareholders' preference and may be referred to as book value. Net worth is stated as at a particular year in time. In the case of an individual, the term estate is used in relation to deceased individuals in probate. For businesses, the term is used in the context of fraudulent law and on the dissolution of the company.
In personal finance, net worth (or wealth) refers to an individual's net economic position; similarly, it uses the value of all assets (long term assets) minus the value of all liabilities.

Net worth in business is generally based on the value of all assets and liabilities at the carrying value which is the value as expressed on the financial statements. To the extent items on the balance sheet do not express their true (market) value, the net worth will also be inaccurate. Net worth in this formulation is not an expression of the market value of the firm: the firm may be worth more (or less) if sold as a going concern. On reading the balance sheet, if the accumulated losses exceed the shareholder's equity, it is a negative value for net worth.

Operation Northwoods:

The Northwoods Memorandum

.... [Standard Definition] A series of false-flag proposals that originated within the United States Government in 1962. The proposals called for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), or other operatives, to commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities and elsewhere. These acts of terrorism were to be blamed on Cuba in order to create public support for a war against that nation, which had recently become communist under Fidel Castro.[2] One part of Operation Northwoods was to "develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington." Operation Northwoods proposals included hijackings and bombings followed by the introduction of phony evidence that would implicate the Cuban Government. It stated: "The desired resultant from the execution of this plan would be to place the United States in the apparent position of suffering defensible grievances from a rash and irresponsible Government of Cuba and to develop an international image of a Cuban threat to peace in the Western Hemisphere." Several other proposals were included within Operation Northwoods, including real or simulated actions against various U.S. military and civilian targets. The plan was drafted by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, signed by Chairman Lyman Lemnitzer and sent to the Secretary of Defense. Although part of the U.S. Government's Cuban Project anti-communist initiative, Operation Northwoods was never officially accepted; it was authored by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but then rejected by President John F. Kennedy.

Package Deal: (slang attributed to Ayn Rand.) A sophist technique of manipulating people into accepting false concepts by combining (packaging) them with true or otherwise more acceptable concepts. For instance the slogan "My country right or wrong" is often used as a method to accept or overlook crimes committed by persons calling themselves a country or part of a country. The package deal violates The Law of the Excluded Middle because a thing can't contradict itself by being both good and bad; i.e., truthfulness requires the package to be separated into parts that don't contradict themselves.

PB-CLADS: .... In social cooperation, PB-CLADS is short for Preventive Based Common Law Arbitration and Defense Systems (plural).
- Preventive, for instance the foundation of all alternatives is to allow newborns to uncoercively mature and thrive. DROs are another example of prevention -- the "best" problem is the one that's prevented.
- Common law as opposed to statutory law. Common law both stands the test of time and evolves. Most of it is ancient but still applies; e.g., don't steal. The evolved parts are things like double standards for "nobility", common law application to new technologies, etc. What's recognized as common law is part of the DRO and other free market choices people make. An example is the Amish have what they voluntarily consider common law among themselves, and adult members are free leave and join other communities with different ideas; and those differing communities still get along at the local level (I specify "local" because the U.S. nation state is now being invasive to the Amish).
- Defense Systems mostly to prevent The State from returning from the grave, and to have preventive and diplomatic based defense at the local level similar to legitimate police protection; and at the local and larger community levels, to have defense against any aggressing large groups or advanced technologies designed to aggress against groups.
- To summarize the conceptual "peebee-clads", it's an ongoing open discussion between individuals and communities about how to best get along with each other and the free market cooperative efforts to have preventive systems in place as a result of that ongoing and evolving discussion.

A textbook case is: "September 29, 1988 | United Press International | John A. Zaccaro Jr., convicted of selling cocaine, ended his jail term 30 days early Wednesday after serving 90 days under house arrest in a posh apartment, state officials said. Zaccaro's parents, John A. Zaccaro Sr. and Geraldine A. Ferraro, the 1984 Democratic vice presidential nominee, picked him up at a probation center." Poor people in the U.S. routinely get years of hard (i.e., not country club) prison time for the same crime.

Once a minority of people receive or take the monopoly on the "legal" right to use aggression within a geographic area, the power is always abused to rule rather than represent the majority not having that right. Some forms of politics such as dictatorships are honest about this; other forms such as alleged democracies hide it.

"If you support The State, you support the use of violence against me as an individual. If you want to pay your taxes that's fine, you can mail them a check. If you force me to pay taxes then you are saying I cannot disagree with you without being thrown in a cage for years. That is not a civilized position. You are not a civilized human being if you advocate the initiation of force against other human beings. I'm sorry if that makes you feel uncomfortable, but don't shoot the messenger." - Stefan Molyneux

Process / System: .... A process is a series of steps with one or more inputs and mostly unpredictable outputs; a system is a process with predictable outputs. The term processing often refers to a system, for instance processing a building material.


Producer Radicalism / Producerism / Producerist: .... [Standard Definition] A populist ideology which holds that the productive members of society are being exploited by parasitic elements at both the top and bottom of the social and economic structure.
I conclude this label is an example of label pollution because it's a relatively new term and can be used and defined or slanted at the same time, making it a flexword. For instance the insinuation of "radical" depends on the left-right paradigm scam, and insinuates the person using the label isn't "radical."

Profit / Quality of Life / Wealth: [Standard Definition] .... (1) Riches; valuable material possessions. (2) A great amount; an abundance or plenty. (3) Power, of the kind associated with a great deal of money.

[Further Description] Each individual has his or her own definition of wealth; e.g., to some wealth is mostly power over others, to some mostly the accumulation or spending of money, etc. So wealth is whatever resource(s) an individual finds reduces pain or increases gain to him or herself. The three core ways a person can gain wealth is to create it, receive it via voluntary donation, or transfer it via involuntary donation. A related form of wealth for those seeking power is to destroy the wealth of others, or prevent others from developing wealth; i.e., reduce or prevent competition.

A textbook example of propaganda using abstractions for democide is the word Jew as used by the Government in 1933-1945 Germany. Today's abused abstractions range from "pinhead" to "terrorist", and often include the brainwashed labeling themselves, e.g. "left", "middle", and "right" CLASS=set2> to oppose each other rather than their manipulators. Sophism is a subset of propaganda, propaganda is a subset of brainwashing, brainwashing is a subset of brainbinding, and brainbinding is a subset of social engineering.

Racket / Rigged: In justice and economics, a systematic and repeated instance of fraud for illicit profit. An example is the subject of Smedley Butler's book, War is a Racket. Rigged refers to the system a racket employs to ensure the outcome is illicit profit for the racketeer(s).


Ratrace: .... [Standard slang Definition] An endless, self-defeating or pointless pursuit. It conjures up the image of the futile efforts of a lab rat trying to escape while running around a maze or in a wheel. In an analogy to the modern city, many rats in a single maze expend a lot of effort running around, but ultimately achieve nothing (meaningful) either collectively or individually.

The rat race is a term often used to describe work, particularly excessive work; in general terms, if one works too much, one is in the rat race. This terminology contains implications that many people see work as a seemingly endless pursuit with little reward or purpose, albeit this is not true for many workers. For example, self-employment contributes to an increase in job satisfaction and the self-employed may experience less job related mental strain.

The rat race also refers to the fierce competition involved in maintaining or improving one's position in the workplace or on the social ladder. This term presumably alludes to the rat's desperate struggle for survival.

The increased image of work as a "rat race" in modern times has led many to question their own attitudes to work and seek a better alternative; a more harmonious work-life balance. Many believe that long work hours, unpaid overtime, stressful jobs, time spent commuting, less time for family life and/or friends life, has led to a generally unhappier workforce/population unable to enjoy the benefits of increased economic prosperity and a higher standard of living.

2. Authority Ranking (needed to get some types of work done, otherwise toxic)
3. Equality Matching (i.e., reciprocity, e.g. reciprocal business arrangements)

Right: .... [Standard Definition] In the legal context, i.e., "I have rights", a right is most commonly accepted as individuals' actions or inactions acceptable to The State.

[Further Description] I completely disagree with The State as a moral standard and instead define right as a claim to self-ownership. This claim includes self-Government standards I accept for myself and as cooperatively beneficial for all others to also accept; thus all rights are reciprocal negative actions. For instance I accept the right to be left alone, a negative action, as long as I'm leaving others alone; but I don't accept health care, a positive action, as a right because it's not reciprocal.

I consider rights and morals to be claims and the institution of those claims as described with my further description of Institution.

Root Cause / Root Solution: [Standard Definition] That cause that when removed results in the problem no longer occurring.

[Further Description] For human relationships I modify that to root-level cause with root-level solution because whatever cause, e.g. violent parenting, is removed also needs replacing with something healthy. I say "level" because human relationships are so complex that it may be impossible to find a singular problem cause. So I see the AnCap movement as equivalent to the anti-slavery movement at the very earliest stages where the focus was on helping slaves escape and informing people who were otherwise incorrect or completely ignorant about the horrors, including many of the slaves themselves. Another thing we can do is identify root-level causes and work on their solutions. Presently I mostly research social engineering as a root-level cause, and the military thing is an example of an overlapping root-level cause. Buckminster Fuller called it "livingry" versus "killingry."

.... For instance Henry David Thoreau said "There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root." Often eliminating the cause includes preventing it from returning by filling the vacuum with something else, or allowing the vacuum to be filled before the cause has time to return.

Sapience: .... [Standard Definition] The ability to practice sound judgment in a complex, dynamic environment. In fantasy fiction and science fiction, sapience describes an essential human property that bestows "personhood" onto a non-human. It indicates that a computer, alien, mythical creature or other object will be treated as a completely human character, with similar rights, capabilities and desires as any human character. The words "sentience", "self-awareness" and "consciousness" are used in similar ways in science fiction.


Savings and Loan Association: .... A savings and loan association (or S&L), also known as a thrift, is a financial institution that specializes in accepting savings deposits and making mortgage and other loans. The terms "S&L" or "thrift" are mainly used in the United States; similar institutions in the United Kingdom, Ireland and some Commonwealth countries include building societies and trustee savings banks. They are often mutually held (often called mutual savings banks[citation needed]), meaning that the depositors and borrowers are members with voting rights, and have the ability to direct the financial and managerial goals of the organization like the members of a credit union or the policyholders of a mutual insurance company. While it is possible for an S&L to be a joint stock company, and even publicly traded, in such instances it is no longer truly a mutual association, and depositors and borrowers no longer have membership rights and managerial control. By law, thrifts must have at least 65 percent of their lending in mortgages and other consumer loans - making them particularly vulnerable to housing downturns such as the deep one the U.S. has experienced since 2007.

It originated as an outgrowth of, and a departure from, Christian monastic schools.

Self-Ownership / Nonaggression Axiom: To quote Murray Rothbard on self-ownership, "The basic axiom of libertarian political theory holds that every man is a self owner, having absolute jurisdiction over his own body. In effect, this means that no one else may justly invade, or aggress against, another's person. It follows then that each person justly owns whatever previously unowned resources he appropriates or 'mixes his labor with'. From these twin axioms -- self-ownership and 'homesteading' -- stem the justification for the entire system of property rights titles in a free-market society. This system establishes the right of every man to his own person, the right of donation, of bequest (and, concomitantly, the right to receive the bequest or inheritance), and the right of contractual exchange of property titles." (From Law and Property Rights.) This explanation also shows nonaggression as part of responsible self-ownership.

The nonaggression principle (also called the nonaggression axiom, the anti-coercion principle, the zero aggression principle, the non-initiation of force, or NAP, for short) is an moral stance which asserts that aggression is inherently illegitimate. Aggression, for the purposes of the NAP, is defined as the initiation or threatening of violence against a person or legitimately owned property of another. In contrast to pacifism, the non-aggression principle does not preclude violent self-defense. NAP is held by its supporters to lead to the moral condemnation of theft, vandalism, assault, and fraud. When applied to The State, it has been taken to condemn such policies as victimless crime laws, taxation, and military drafts. Anarchists argue NAP implies abolition of The State.

Social Choice Theory: .... [Standard Definition] {http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki / Social_choice_theory} {http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=we3pObEhor8}


Social Class: [Standard Definition] Social class (or simply "class") is a set of concepts in social science and political theory centered around models of social stratification in which people are grouped into a set of hierarchical social categories.

[Further Description] The two social class systems are socio-political and socioeconomic. Fad-based social class based on subculture is more illusion than multi-generational fact.

Social Class, Socio-Political: A hereditary ruling class is an aristocracy and a nonhereditary ruling class is an oligarchy; thus the terms
aristocrat and
oligarch. Today's ruling classes contain both and are therefore oligarchies; aka
hyper-elites, aka the superclass one psercent.

Oligarchs are few in number and rely on a nobility class to enforce oligarch dictates. The
nobles are professional coercers such as politicians, paramilitary, court artists, and court intellectuals. I didn't include military, police, courts, or lawyers in this list because in a modern voluntaryist society the equivalent exist in forms such as DROs. In their present state, some people in each of those categories act as nobles and some act as defenders of the producers; e.g., the ACLU and the Oath Keepers. Of course a voluntary society will focus more on prevention of violence and thus free most persons in such trades to become much more productive.

Oligarchs and nobles as social classes are parasites because they produce nothing of tangible use to themselves or others.^endnote They depend on the
producer class for their wealth. Therefore the core social classes have been and are aristocrats / oligarchs, aka first level parasites; enforcing nobles, aka Government and its partners, aka second level parasites; producer-hosts, and escapees; i.e., the socially unengineered.


Social Class, Socioeconomic: [Standard Definition] Socioeconomic class has three general categories: a very wealthy and powerful upper class that owns and controls the means of production; a middle class of professional workers, small business owners, and low-level managers; and a lower class, who rely on low-paying wage jobs for their livelihood and often experience poverty.

[Further Description] .... I say red herring because .... Court intellectuals typically present social class as
only economic and
not political; most often as under, lower, middle, upper middle, and upper. Some add classes such as slaves to the bottom and hyper-elites to the top. This focuses on wealth rather than coercion. For instance, the most wealthy noncoercive producer can be forced to pay tribute by the most marginally paid law enforcement noble. The lower-level nobility also includes anyone dependent on Government for their standard of living; e.g., corporate welfare, traditional welfare, military-industrial complexes, private prisons, and hundreds of other instances. In other words Government pays-off about half of the population to keep the other half in line. Some lower level nobility are well paid, others moderately, and others horizontally enforce for bare subsistence. Thus subdivisions among aristocrats, nobles, and producers are a complex but secondary part of human host-parasite culture, as are cases of the classes overlapping and people crossing-over from one class to another.

Social Contract: [Standard Definition] ....

[Further Description] A human version of the "contract" a dairy farmer has with his or her dairy cows concerning the cows' milk, meat, and offspring's entry into the same "contract." The "social contract" was a sophist milestone, key to neofeudalism, and is thus presented as sacred. Hans-Hermann Hoppe uses the example of Robinson Crusoe and Friday claiming to own each other and the conflicts this would cause. This illustrates why the social contract doesn't work even if everyone is equal.


Social Engineering: [Standard Definition] (1) In computer security and similar forms of security, the art of fooling people into unsecuring secured information or resources. (2) In politics, the agendas, efforts, and practices of influencing a society in areas such as child rearing, religion, schooling, media immersion, economic access, and say in Government.

[Further Description] Political social engineering also refers to physical population modification ranging from coerced pharmaceuticals to genocide. Thus political social engineering enables a the one percent superclass to domesticate the rest as lifelong children who:

• are open but limited range livestock for harvesting through means such as individually chosen but regimented and heavily taxed work.
• domesticate other humans.
• further process any peers refusing or not fully adapting to domesticater / domesticated roles. Of these, some escape but most:
• • become unwilling tax / servitude livestock; i.e., mentally free but physically in partial or full servitude, and / or,
  • become example victims of consequences to terrorize others into compliance. Example consequences are death, rape-room incarceration, and extreme poverty, and / or,
  • become new ruling class members if enough promise is shown. This prevents human livestock from having significant leaders within their ranks and helps aristocrats avoid the pitfalls of DNA inbreeding.

Socially Engineered Beyond All Repair (SEBAR): .... { For instance a pit pull raised to do nothing but eat, sleep, reproduce, and kill isn't ready to become part of a human family and almost certainly never will be. Most or all of his or her offspring, however, can be raised to become wonderful human family members. Only socially unengineered parents can raise children to be ready for a voluntaryist world. I doubt if there will be such people in the quantities needed to become the new mainstream for at least 100 years, if ever. I do see progress and do my best to participate. }

Social Unengineering: [Standard Definition] Presently there's no standard definition of unengineering or social unengineering. The closest to unengineering would be either reverse engineering or to create / recreate something as it existed before engineering was added.

[Further Description] I define Social Unengineering as minimizing and quarantining one's false / split-off self and developing the true self to accurately interpret and respond to the natural world and its artificial modifications. This recovery is extremely difficult due to social engineering investment.

Ideologies often include the meme of changing human nature. By comparison, social unengineering is more of an individual mindset than a group ideology. It's a mindset of being oneself and in turn allowing each individual to be born 100% owning him or herself and growing to self-actualization based 100% on his or her own choices. This doesn't mean humans will return to prehistoric near-animals. Our present state of nonsophist knowledge and technology is adequate for humans to each become state-of-the-art in self-actualization without being molded or shaped by others.


Society / Global Society: .... [Standard Definition] {flexword}


Sociopath / Sociopathology: .... [Standard Definition]


Socrates / Plato / Aristotle: .... [Standard Definition] Socrates, his student Plato, and his student Aristotle are widely credited with being three of the most important founding figures in Western philosophy. Socrates was born in the mid 400's B.C and began questioning Athenian values, laws, customs, religion, and the philosophical foundations of sophism. In 399 he was sentenced to death for corrupting the minds of the youth of Athens and of "not believing in the gods of The State." Socrates is only known through the accounts of his contemporaries, especially Plato, Xenophon, and Aristophanes.

Plato founded a school of philosophy called the Academy, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. Around 380 BC he wrote The Republic, a work concerning the definition of justice and the order and character of the just city-state and the just man. The main thesis is that the most wisdom the masses can muster is the wise choice of a ruler. Plato theorized "metaphysics" as the division of reality into the warring and irreconcilable domains of the material and the spiritual. The theory has been of incalculable influence -- and arguably damage -- in the history of Western philosophy and religion.

Aristotle was a teacher of Alexander the Great and founded the Lyceum school of philosophy in Athens. His writings were the first to create a comprehensive system of Western philosophy, encompassing morality and aesthetics, logic and science, politics and metaphysics.


Sophism: [Standard Definition] The propaganda art of using specious arguments to deceive people. The three core sophist arguments are false logic, the Argument by authority, and the Argument by emotion. Subdivisions of these three are too numerous to fully list, however common examples are the arguments from adjective, adverb, category, complexity, rhetoric, oratory, and timing. Toxic culture often presents sophist techniques as correct logic.

.... {rather than identifying problems and seeking root causes, sophists start with an agendas as a reference point and then manipulate interpretations of the physical world to fit. Sophists do this with fight-or-flight techniques such as appeals from emotion, appeals from authority, and pseudo logic. This maintains their comfort zones, convinces others to cooperate with aggression based wealth transfer schemes, and provides sophist emotional benefits.
For instance many benefactors of forced pyramid schemes can feel good about their insider benefits if they remain in denial of the taxation without representation they're sticking children and the unborn with, and repeat abstractions such as "social contract" until the brainbound blindly accept them as reality. Abstract and complex theories such as Keynesianism hide simple realities such as the non-elite since prehistory preferring to choose their own forms of money and values. Extremely costly and wasteful indoctrination institutions suck resources from this non-elite to create elite "jobs" and prop up Government approved diplomas in areas like law and economics, the equivalent of mafia approved mafia investigation diplomas.

Neuroscience shows people get minor but repeated and rewarding endorphin rushes by listening to others reinforce such comfort zones. For example those thinking of themselves as conservatives get this from Fox "news" analysis, there's MSNBC for another crowd, CNN for another, and PBS for another. My sister refers to her "daily news fix" which is mostly MSNBC and never Fox. I know another person who refers to Fox news commentary the same way.

Another emotional reason to be a sophist is the extreme emotion cost of admitting the Establishment has played you for most of your life, that you've brainbound and otherwise damaged people for them, that you could've taken the red pill decades ago to have had a much higher quality of life. The realization can be emotionally devastating in terms of how to emotionally recover, how to keep or break relationships in a world of brainbound aggressive people not to mention family, and how to act out your conscious while attempting to make a living. These are only a few of the many complications from being a stranger in a strange, superstitious, and now much more dangerous land.

Name calling and similar filibustering and cheerleading is fight. Your cherry-picking of not answering my questions and not addressing your and yours' aggression is flight. In a previous email I stated the foundation of my perspective is the self-ownership / nonaggression axiom, and your reply to that email completely ignored what I concisely said was the very foundation of all my points. That's flight, as is not sending me any more emails if you choose to do so.

Sophism is collectivist rather than individualist based because it uses fight-or-flight techniques to maintain the old boss or to create a new boss. Philosophy is individualist based because it starts with individual problems such as "Why am I here" and seeks to find truth to solve problems; for instance the scientific method came from the logic branch of philosophy. As a philosopher, I live in a constant uncomfort zone of not candy coating reality with mind games, and always being willing to be proven - the opposite of sophism - wrong.

Because sophists begin with an agenda as the reference point for reality, to them persons with different reference points are automatically in need of repair or quarantine. This provides the illusion that competing ideas are irrelevant. It also provides rationalization and justification for the full range of initiating violence.

The farther away economically a sophist is from the Establishment Elite, the more the sophist's own practice hurts him or herself, and especially his or her offspring. Because all the funds go to the same pot, warfare state sophists aid the Establishment's welfare cartel fundraising, and welfare state sophists aid the Establishment's warfare cartel fundraising. As pseudo opposing camps of the same cartel, sophists horizontally enforce each others' servitude to Establishment Elites. The opposing camp mentality is identical to sports team intense interest and loyalty, a clear symptom of lifelong childhood caused by the brainbound accepting their own brainbinding and repeating it with future generations.}

The same year, an encyclical by Pope Pius XI criticized Fascist Italy as developing "a pagan worship of The State" which it called "statolatry."


Statute / Statutory: [Standard Definition] A statute is a law made politically, as opposed to being common law; however some people use statute to mean any law. Statutory is of, relating to, enacted or regulated by a statute; i.e., political. (More explanation at "Ignorance of the Law is No Excuse".)



Stefan Molyneux: From http://www.freedomainradio.com/about.aspx, "I am Stefan Molyneux, the host of Freedomain Radio. I have been a software entrepreneur and executive, co-founded a successful company and worked for many years as a Chief Technical Officer. I studied literature, history, economics and philosophy at York University, hold an undergraduate degree in History from McGill University, and earned a graduate degree from the University of Toronto, focusing on the history of philosophy. I received an 'A' for my Master's Thesis analyzing the political implications of the philosophies of Immanuel Kant, G.W.F. Hegel, Thomas Hobbes and John Locke. I also spent two years studying writing and acting at the National Theatre School of Canada.

I have been fascinated by philosophy - particularly moral theories - since my mid-teens. I left my career as a software entrepreneur and executive to pursue philosophy full time through my work here at Freedomain Radio. I have written a number of novels as well as many free books on philosophy.

In my podcasts and videos, I try to avoid opinions, and instead talk about proof and rationality. If the theories I propose are reasonable, and are supported by evidence, well and good, we have both learned something. If not, listeners such as you are quick to point out errors, which I receive with gratitude. This approach is fundamentally different from most "talk shows." I am a rigorous philosopher, and I will always bow to reason and evidence. The only freedom is freedom from illusion."

Stranger in a Strange Land: [Standard Definition] Stranger in a Strange Land is a 1961 science fiction novel by American author Robert A. Heinlein. It tells the story of Valentine Michael Smith, a human who comes to Earth in early adulthood after being born on the planet Mars and raised by Martians. The novel explores his interaction with-and eventual transformation of -- terrestrial culture.

Subconscious: .... [Standard Definition] { The latest neuroscience shows the subconscious processing thousand times more information than the conscious. For instance on the savanna, we developed a more complex conscious to plan and communicate with our peers, while our subconscious was monitoring surroundings, recalling experiences, deciding to get the attention of our consciousness, etc. The conscious and subconscious each have the three selves, and those each have a mecosystem and wecosystem. }

The Establishment: [Standard Definition] A visible dominant group or elite that holds power or authority in a nation. The term suggests a closed social group which selects its own members (as opposed to selection by inheritance, merit or election). The term can be used to describe specific entrenched elite structures in specific institutions, but is usually informal in application and is more likely used by the media than by scholars. the establishment often refers to people who by their action and inaction support the dominant group or elite that holds power or authority in a nation.

[Further Description] the establishment includes anyone who repeats or horizontally enforces social engineering . An objective view of history shows that corporatists (in earlier times called mercantilists, i.e., the Government-coercive business partnership) from the 1700's Rothschilds to the Bill Gates of today are the establishment doing their coercive best to prevent "the next kid who comes along" from becoming the new Establishment unless they go through the few available oligarch initiations the way people like the Clintons did. It's natural for a Sam Walton's now wealthy offspring to be less ambitious than he as a modest means young man was. It's natural for someone outside of his now wealthy family to be more ambitious and become a new competitor with a better mousetrap. This is the very essence of what corporatism (with Government enforced unions being simply corporations by another name) is all about preventing - "the next kid who comes along" from being a new competitor, aristocrat, upper level noble, or cartel member.

TheTax Farm Staff is the establishment minus the Ruling One Percent.

The Year 1776 / The Experiment of Constitutional Republicanism / Democracy:

U. S. Declaration of Independence

.... [Standard Definition] 1776 was the first year in recorded history that a sovereign nation was openly founded on the principles of all persons being equal and of Government existing to serve the many rather than the few (however, the successful repelling of the Habsburg Empire by Swiss farmers in ______ came close). Although the founding contained several serious flaws such as continuing chattel slavery, the experiment was whether or not a Government beginning as a representative democratic republic can remain so. Some people believe the experiment succeeded, some believe it continues, and some believe it failed. I believe it failed because the initial small Government allowed enough new wealth to be produced that there was more wealth to confiscate and used to create internal and external empires. While the present international oligarchs don't appear to own traditional empires, the owning is done through covert control of proxy local Governments as explained in the series of books on the subject written by John Perkins.

Too Big to Fail: .... [Standard slang Definition]


Torture: [Standard Definition] The act of inflicting severe pain (whether physical or psychological) as a means of punishment, revenge, forcing information or a confession, or simply as an act of cruelty. Throughout history, torture has taken on a wide variety of forms, and has often been used as a method of political re-education, interrogation, punishment, and coercion. In addition to state-sponsored torture, individuals or groups may be motivated to inflict torture on others for similar reasons to those of a state; however, the motive for torture can also be for the sadistic gratification of the torturer.

Torture is prohibited under international law and the domestic laws of most countries in the 21st century. It is considered to be a violation of human rights, and is declared to be unacceptable by Article 5 of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Signatories of the Third Geneva Convention and Fourth Geneva Convention officially agree not to torture prisoners in armed conflicts. Torture is also prohibited by the United Nations Convention Against Torture, which has been ratified by 147 countries.

National and international legal prohibitions on torture derive from a consensus that torture and similar ill-treatment are immoral, as well as impractical. Despite these international conventions, organizations that monitor abuses of human rights (e.g. Amnesty International, the International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims) report widespread use condoned by states in many regions of the world. Amnesty International estimates that at least 81 world Governments currently practice torture, some of them openly.

Totalitarianism / Neototalitarianism: .... [Standard Definition] { Neototalitarianism: The only difference is that in old school totalitarianism, the Government was a small minority, and in neototalitarianism, the Government includes a near majority (Government employees, corporate-Government mergers, union-Government employees, multi-generational Government handout dependents, etc.) to achieve drastic wealth and power for the extreme minority, a small ruler network. I observe presently there are several regional international ruler networks, probably North America-Europe-Japan, USSR, China, etc. The ones I'm not as sure about are South America, India, Pacific Islands, etc. No doubt tax farm owners of all the above are coordinating. }


Training: The process or art of imparting knowledges, skills, and attitudes that enable a narrow, i.e., focused, competency. For instance criminal investigation is an area of education, making an arrest is an area of training. Education Indoctrination

Now that I've read it more than ten times plus EXTENSIVELY reading the history and context of its original and amended versions, I can say unequivically that my oath was and is to the first ten amendments ONLY. Those ten simply said what the U.S. Declaration of Independence did, that rights existed before Governments -- that thugs in suits or pantsuits or drag or whatever calling themselves Governments don't grant those rights because those rights come from your and my creator, REGARDLESS if you believe that's a god or biology. If you haven't read the U.S. Declaration of Independence, you're not ready to read the U.S. Constitution.

U.S. Department of Education: .... [Standard Definition]


U.S. Department of Homeland Security: .... [Standard Definition] { A cabinet department of the United States federal Government, created in response to the September 11 attacks, and with the primary responsibilities of protecting the territory of the United States and protectorates from and responding to terrorist attacks, man-made accidents, and natural disasters. In fiscal year 2011 it was allocated a budget of $98.8 billion and spent, net, $66.4 billion. Whereas the Department of Defense is charged with military actions abroad, the Department of Homeland Security works in the civilian sphere to protect the United States within, at, and outside its borders. Its stated goal is to prepare for, prevent, and respond to domestic emergencies, particularly terrorism. On March 1, 2003, DHS absorbed the Immigration and Naturalization Service and assumed its duties. In doing so, it divided the enforcement and services functions into two separate and new agencies: Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Citizenship and Immigration Services. The investigative divisions and intelligence gathering units of the INS and Customs Service were merged together forming Homeland Security Investigations. Additionally, the border enforcement functions of the INS, including the U.S. Border Patrol, the U.S. Customs Service, and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service were consolidated into a new agency under DHS: U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The Federal Protective Service falls under the National Protection and Programs Directorate. With more than 200,000 employees, DHS is the third largest Cabinet department, after the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs. Homeland security policy is coordinated at the White House by the Homeland Security Council. Other agencies with significant homeland security responsibilities include the Departments of Health and Human Services, Justice, and Energy. According to the Homeland Security Research Corporation, the combined financial year 2010 state and local HLS markets, which employ more than 2.2 million first responders, totaled $16.5 billion, whereas the DHS HLS market totaled $13 billion. According to the Washington Post, "DHS has given $31 billion in grants since 2003 to state and local Governments for homeland security and to improve their ability to find and protect against terrorists, including $3.8 billion in 2010." According to Peter Andreas, a border theorist, the creation of DHS constituted the most significant Government reorganization since the Cold War, and the most substantial reorganization of federal agencies since the National Security Act of 1947, which placed the different military departments under a secretary of defense and created the National Security Council and Central Intelligence Agency. DHS also constitutes the most diverse merger of federal functions and responsibilities, incorporating 22 Government agencies into a single organization.}

United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights: .... [Standard Definition] a document adopted by the United Nations General Assembly (10 December 1948 at Palais de Chaillot, Paris). It arose directly from the experience of the Second World War and represents the first global expression of rights to which all human beings are inherently entitled. It consists of 30 articles which have been elaborated in subsequent international treaties, regional human rights instruments, national constitutions and laws. The International Bill of Human Rights consists of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and its two Optional Protocols. In 1966 the General Assembly adopted the two detailed Covenants, which complete the International Bill of Human Rights; and in 1976, after the Covenants had been ratified by a sufficient number of individual nations, the Bill took on the force of international law.

Universally Preferable Behavior / UPB:
[Proposed Standard Definition]
1. (Singular) An instance of individually and voluntarily chosen human action or inaction not influenced by statistical outliers such as culture, personal preferences inconsequential to others (e.g. the taste of chocolate versus vanilla), or extreme circumstances such as psychopathy or lifeboat scenarios.
2. (Plural) The set of such actions and inactions shown to be the overwhelming choice of individuals.
3. (Philosophy) The proposal or principle that UPBs provide an objective, consistent, clear, rational, empirical, and true basis for a relatively standardized methodology for validating moral theories, in a similar manner as the scientific method does for scientific conclusions, as opposed to culture or coercive authority as validation.
[Further Description]
        The UPB methodology was originated by Stefan Molyneux. In his book Universally Preferable Behavior, A Rational Proof for Secular Ethics, he provides extensive premises and claims these logically prove that UPB is, in his words, "objective, consistent, clear, rational, empirical -- and true." I agree.
        I suggest in the context of social institutions, an example of a singular UPB is family as the preferred primary institution of nurture from times earlier than Cro-Magnen Man to the present. For comparison, whether or not choosing institutions such as religion or statism are UPBs depends on the pattern of universal preference (for religion, steadily decreasing) and the amount of statistical outliers associated with those choosing the institution.


Utopia: .... [Standard Definition] {The word "Utopia" came from people such as Plato and Sir Thomas More. Such writings included slavery as part of Utopia, so I don't want such a thing. The slang "utopian" refers to an unrealistic world, perfect and devoid of problems. Libertarians consistently say the nature of life is anything but perfect or devoid of problems; most continually say the future nonGovernment world will continue to have such problems, just not as many caused by aggression. For instance most if not all libertarians say the minimum wage is an artificial cloaking of reality, that there are many people willing to work for less because life is really that tough; the point is that Government involvement in the economy is parasitic and thus makes life tougher for everyone except Government insiders by removing investment resources out of economies. We libertarians fully admit life is full of problems, we just want to voluntarily solve such problems ourselves rather than have rulers force us to pay for Orwellian nonsolutions we never asked for.}

A financial institution that has an economic net worth less than zero but continues to operate because its ability to repay its debts is shored up by implicit or explicit Government credit support. The term was first used by Edward Kane in 1987 to explain the dangers of tolerating a large number of insolvent savings and loan associations and applied to the emerging Japanese crisis in 1993. Zombie institutions face runs by uninsured depositors and margin calls from counterparties in derivatives transactions.

¹ "...commonly called Government, but more accurately called The State." - The words Government and The State are typically used interchangeably because each is defined as a social institution made of a minority of people having a monopoly on the [alleged] legitimacy of initiating violence in a specified geographical area. The point is that to say "no rulers" isn't to say "no rules." In this Declaration, I argue that an acceptable level of law, order, and justice can exist without rulers. The free market can provide governance without Government. I capitalize The Establishment, The State, Government, etc., because these are groups of people enjoying covert but none the less full titles of nobility because they can initiate violence in ways non-nobles are prohibited from. A double-standard scam.

^1.1 E. O. Wilson defines human nature as the inherited regularities of mental development common to our species. The culture definition is from David Deutsch. Until and if transhumanism becomes mainstream, we can only impact future generations' human nature. We can't escape the nature we're born with, so we manage it with culture -- or in the case of sheeple, allow others to with their culture.

- An energy instance is physical world energy joined into an event of physical impact due to electricity, gravity, pressure, chemical reaction, or similar forces.

² "...prehistoric discovery of superstition as a confidence game...": There were some societies that had superstition without creating a host-parasite social structure, e.g. as described in the book The Old Way: A Story of the First People by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas (ISBN-10: 031242728X, ISBN-13: 978-0312427283). There are variations of the host-parasite social structure, for instance tribal feuding, but the four-tier social structure of The Farm now dominates all but the escapees.

Example escapees were the free persons described by Alexis de Tocqueville in his book Democracy in America, and those now finding freedom in an unfree world. "...free persons described by Alexis de Tocqueville...": At the time described, the U.S. Government was a night watchman type Government.

Most history presented in this Declaration is Western World, meaning there were two (for lack of better wording) cradles of "civilization" as we know it today. One was in and around the Iraq area; the other in and around the Manchuria area. Most history in this Declaration is Western World and of that mostly U.S. because of my academic background. Eastern history is basically parallel in respect to social engineering, as one can conclude by comparing social structures and institutions.

The printing press spread through Europe in the 1500s and had a synergistic effect with science so that by the 1700s human knowledge had grown to the point where divine right lost its credibility and replacement of royalty by states and nation states occurred on a large scale; most notably beginning with the U.S. 1776 war and mostly ending with WWII (royalty now exists mostly in different ways). Many formerly "employed" as administrators, bureaucrats, messengers, laborers, soldiers, guards, monks, priests, nuns, etc. by royalty and the church transitioned into the equivalent for a new religion, The State. It had more and updated memes such as statolatry, larger bureaucratic classes, and war on scales never before seen. Serfs became less like penned human livestock and much more productive as open-range human tax livestock; i.e., neoserfs.


³ "Shortened and degraded lives": I estimate we would work about half as tediously and benefit about twice as much without the extreme drag of social engineering and human parasites. First world middle and upper classes are relatively unaware because the don't constitute "most of us remaining."

"Government": No rulers doesn't mean no rules; i.e., no Government doesn't mean no governance. We as a species are able to govern behavioral anomalies without The State.

"Unnecessarily": The paragraph's description of man's inhumanity to man excludes events that would occur with or without The State; e.g. natural disasters, hereditary/congenital defects, the need for common law, etc. As this glossary will describe, The State is a double edge sword that wastes about half the globe's resources and severely slows and sometimes completely prevents the discovery of new solutions.

I also claim the superclass used all Governments. It's obvious what Governments such as the U.S., USSR, etc. did; not so obvious what more neutral or remote Governments such as Iceland or Venezuela did. I say "all" anyway because I'm one hundred percent confident that an in-depth nonsophist study will show that no Government is innocent.

The neoroyals are as prone to human error as anyone; it's just a tragedy the human race has a hierarchy system that quantumly multiplies neoroyal error. They may not always plan to kill so many people, e.g. most people thought the U.S. War Between the States would be over in a matter of months. Sometimes neoroyals arrange for dictators such as Hitler to come to power and once achieving a certain level of power, the appointees disobey.

⁹ .... "As John Kelley writes, Rothbard became an anarcho-libertarian immediately after he began to attend von Mises’s seminars in 1949. Von Mises was not an anarcho-capitalist, indeed he was convinced that the anarchists were basically ingenuous and that it was necessary to have a monopoly over the exercise of force “there will always be individuals and groups of individuals whose intellect is so limited that they are unable to understand the benefits of social co-operation. But after von Mises had demonstrated that 'laissez-faire policy leads to peace and higher standards of living for all, while statism leads to conflict and lower living standards',36 according to Rothbard, 'defense and enforcement could be supplied, like all other services, by the free market'. Rothbard himself relates that in the winter of 1949/50, in the course of a conversation with some left-wing students, he realized that it was impossible for him to support the free market in all fields and at the same time be in favor of a State police force, 'my whole position was inconsistent [...], there were only two logical possibilities: socialism, or anarchism. Since it was out of the question for me to become a socialist, I found myself pushed by the irresistible logic of the case, a private property anarchist, or, as I would later dub it, an anarcho-capitalist'." - http://www.mises.org/journals/scholar/Modugno.PDF

I observe libertarians having four types of political conclusions: (1) Minarchists believe the experiment of Government isn't over yet but so far has shown minarchy as the only remaining possibility; (2) AnCaps who partner with minarchists to rollback Government to anarcho-capitalism; (3) AnCaps seeing political involvement such as voting to be self-defense but not progress. Persons holding these three conclusions also see the political process as a medium for spreading the freedom message. (4) Other AnCaps conclude all political involvement as compromising with evil. All three variations of AnCaps by definition agree on self-ownership, nonaggression, and developing alternatives to The State such as DROs and PB-CLADS.

I consider myself an ally of persons holding any of those four conclusions because, to quote Ayn Rand, "It's earlier than you think". Philosophically I'm #3, and I consider the philosophical foundations of all four conclusions to be very complex because they overlap with personal nature/nurture.

Some alternatives to The State are theoretical, e.g. PB-CLADS; some are working models, e.g. brain scans; and some are well established such as home schools and free schools. AnCaps agree on the need to develop alternatives, but don't necessarily agree on what those alternatives are. That would be a free market choice.

.... Sociopathy and similar conditions can be hereditary, congenital, or can be created by trauma. The estimate of five percent is based on research such as the book Evil Genes by Barbara Oakley and http://www.hare.org/, Robert Hare's web site devoted to the study of psychopathy.

The source of the brain scan prediction is ....

Examples of other solutions are free schools, ....

The most challenging problem I see to solve is that of aggression by large organized groups or persons with weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). My personal military background directly working with such weapons leads me to observe many AnCaps underestimating the scope of this challenge. For instance the possession of a WMD as a deterrent is relatively easy compared with the challenges of securing them from pre-emptive strikes, or from aggressors' defense systems that render defensive weapons impotent.


¹⁰ .... For reference, Murray Rothbard claimed agnosticism and was happily married to his last day with a person claiming Christianity. Lew Rockwell, Tom Woods, Bob Murphy, and many others making profound contributions towards an AnCap world also claim Christianity; while other AnCaps claim various other forms of religion or spirituality. I only consider forms of religion or spirituality offensive if coerced upon others or otherwise violating the self-ownership / nonaggression axiom. I consider myself an atheist because...

"...the highest of costs": For me the highest price was "losing my religion", but not all people whom I (humbly) consider primarily socially unengineered "lose" theirs. Examples are Lew Rockwell and Tom Woods. There's no one person I agree 100% with about everything; maybe life would be boring if there was. My experience is that people who are primarily socially unengineered all agree on self-ownership / nonaggression.

"Philosophy, History, Economics, and True Self": I'm speaking of these four subjects in the context of a layman / layperson, meaning ....

¹¹ By primarily I mean mostly made of one thing. Because philosophers and sophists are human and therefore imperfect, they both have a philosopher personality and a sophist personality, aka a true-self / false-self. Each of us goes through phases of life containing different influences and freedom from influences, and so may be more philosophical or sophistic in one phase than in another. Additionally, many sophists know philosophy very well, but only select the parts that further sophist agendass. For instance knowing logic is knowing how to make false logic appear valid; e.g., using false premises that many audiences won't notice or bother to verify.

I also say a person is primarily one or the other because I'm talking about the bottom line of a person's awareness; i.e., awareness can be divided no further. As one interacts with reality (which includes other people), there is only the pursuit of truth or the pursuit of falsehood, aka illusion. Part of all sophism is to create illusion in others' minds, and often in one's own mind for purposes such as hiding one's own corruptness from oneself.


¹² .... My conclusions influence my writing. They include happiness as the meaning of life, correct action as the path to happiness, the self-ownership/nonaggression axiom as the core human moral standard, anarcho-capitalism as the core method of a moral society, social engineering as the core obstacle to happiness and morality, and violent aggression as immoral and ineffective. I consider myself an ally of all nonsophist philosophers who accept the self-ownership/nonaggression axiom, because without it philosophical interaction is impossible. There's no one person anywhere I 100% agree with and I speculate the same is true for you. I only wish to argue peacefully.

Sophists sometimes provide valid arguments to gain credibility for purposes such as bait-and-switch. For instance, public schooling is mostly sophist, with selected truth being only what supports the establishment.

²⁰ As a former Government employee I've seen horrendous nonproductivity and waste. Thousands of Government and Government contractor people do nothing but create empires of more people, buildings, equipment, vehicles, products, services, fuels, utilities, etc. Adding insult to injury are all the related red carpet pomp-and-circumstance nobility parasite lifestyles. All this in the continuing FDR Administration tradition of creating waste to make "the economy" look good on paper.


²¹ The four ways to resolve a problem are quarantine, regrade, repair, or scrap (eliminate / throw away). My experience with the false self is it can't be completely scrapped because it's been too integral for too long; i.e., just as some veterans have some shrapnel remaining in their bodies because it's too harmful to remove. So whatever false self can't be scrapped can be repaired, quarantined, or regraded. For instance the emotional self can regrade from dictator to consultant.

My readjustment was rough but worth it. In a free society, self actualization would be the norm and there would be no need to "find yourself." For the rest of us, being brutally honest and readjusting can require informal or formal talk therapy. It can also lead to changes in relationships and lifestyles.

^Capitalism (From "Lecture One", Ludwig von Mises, ECONOMIC POLICY, Thoughts for Today and Tomorrow, 1979) ....

[Further Description] ....
"These are the facts about capitalism. Thus, if an Englishman -- or, for that matter, any other man in any country of the world -- says today to his friends that he is opposed to capitalism, there is a wonderful way to answer him: 'You know that the population of this planet is now ten times greater than it was in the ages preceding capitalism; you know that all men today enjoy a higher standard of living than your ancestors did before the age of capitalism. But how do you know that you are the one out of ten who would have lived in the absence of capitalism? The mere fact that you are living today is proof that capitalism has succeeded, whether or not you consider your own life very valuable.'

In spite of all its benefits, capitalism has been furiously attacked and criticized. It is necessary that we understand the origin of this antipathy. It is a fact that the hatred of capitalism originated not with the masses, not among the workers themselves, but among the landed aristocracy -- the gentry, the nobility, of England and the European continent. They blamed capitalism for something that was not very pleasant for them: at the beginning of the nineteenth century, the higher wages paid by industry to its workers forced the landed gentry to pay equally higher wages to their agricultural workers. The aristocracy attacked the industries by criticizing the standard of living of the masses of the workers.

Of course -- from our viewpoint, the workers' standard of living was extremely low; conditions under early capitalism were absolutely shocking, but not because the newly developed capitalistic industries had harmed the workers. The people hired to work in factories had already been existing at a virtually subhuman level.
The famous old story, repeated hundreds of times, that the factories employed women and children and that these women and children, before they were working in factories, had lived under satisfactory conditions, is one of the greatest falsehoods of history. The mothers who worked in the factories had nothing to cook with; they did not leave their homes and their kitchens to go into the factories, they went into factories because they had no kitchens, and if they had a kitchen they had no food to cook in those kitchens. And the children did not come from comfortable nurseries. They were starving and dying. And all the talk about the so-called unspeakable horror of early capitalism can be refuted by a single statistic: precisely in these years in which British capitalism developed, precisely in the age called the Industrial Revolution in England, in the years from 1760 to 1830, precisely in those years the population of England doubled, which means that hundreds or thousands of children-who would have died in preceding times-survived and grew to become men and women.
There is no doubt that the conditions of the preceding times were very unsatisfactory. It was capitalist business that improved them. It was precisely those early factories that provided for the needs of their workers, either directly or indirectly by exporting products and importing food and raw materials from other countries. Again and again, the early historians of capitalism have-one can hardly use a milder word-falsified history.

One anecdote they used to tell, quite possibly invented, involved Benjamin Franklin. According to the story, Ben Franklin visited a cotton mill in England, and the owner of the mill told him, full of pride: 'Look, here are cotton goods for Hungary.' Benjamin Franklin, looking around, seeing that the workers were shabbily dressed, said: 'Why don't you produce also for your own workers?'

But those exports of which the owner of the mill spoke really meant that he did produce for his own workers, because England had to import all its raw materials. There was no cotton either in England or in continental Europe. There was a shortage of food in England, and food had to be imported from Poland, from Russia, from Hungary. These exports were the payment for the imports of the food which made the survival of the British population possible. Many examples from the history of those ages will show the attitude of the gentry and aristocracy toward the workers. I want to cite only two examples. One is the famous British 'Speenhamland' system. By this system, the British Government paid all workers who did not get the minimum wage (determined by the Government) the difference between the wages they received and this minimum wage. This saved the landed aristocracy the trouble of paying higher wages. The gentry would pay the traditionally low agricultural wage, and the Government would supplement it, thus keeping workers from leaving rural occupations to seek urban factory employment.

Eighty years later, after capitalism's expansion from England to continental Europe, the landed aristocracy again reacted against the new production system. In Germany the Prussian Junkers, having lost many workers to the higher-paying capitalistic industries, invented a special term for the problem: 'flight from the countryside' -- Landflucht. And in the German Parliament, they discussed what might be done against this evil, as it was seen from the point of view of the landed aristocracy.

Prince Bismarck, the famous chancellor of the German Reich, in a speech one day said, 'I met a man in Berlin who once had worked on my estate, and I asked this man, 'Why did you leave the estate; why did you go away from the country; why are you now living in Berlin?'' And according to Bismarck, this man answered, 'You don't have such a nice Biergarten in the village as we have here in Berlin, where you can sit, drink beer, and listen to music.' This is, of course, a story told from the point of view of Prince Bismarck, the employer. It was not the point of view of all his employees. They went into industry because industry paid them higher wages and raised their standard of living to an unprecedented degree.

Today, in the capitalist countries, there is relatively little difference between the basic life of the so-called higher and lower classes; both have food, clothing, and shelter. but in the eighteenth century and earlier, the difference between the man of the middle class and the man of the lower class was that the man of the middle class had shoes and the man of the lower class did not have shoes. In the United States today the difference between a rich man and a poor man means very often only the difference between a Cadillac and a Chevrolet. The Chevrolet may be bought secondhand, but basically it renders the same services to its owner: he, too, can drive from one point to another. More than fifty percent of the people in the United States are living in houses and apartments they own themselves.

The attacks against capitalism -- especially with respect to the higher wage rates -- start from the false assumption that wages are ultimately paid by people who are different from those who are employed in the factories. Now it is all right for economists and for students of economic theories to distinguish between the worker and the consumer and to make a distinction between them. but the fact is that every consumer must, in some way or the other, earn the money he spends, and the immense majority of the consumers are precisely the same people who work as employees in the enterprises that produce the things which they consume. Wage rates under capitalism are not set by a class of people different from the class of people who earn the wages; they are the same people. It is not the Hollywood film corporation that pays the wages of a movie star; it is the people who pay admission to the movies. And it is not the entrepreneur of a boxing match who pays the enormous demands of the prize fighters; it is the people who pay admission to the fight. Through the distinction between the employer and the employee, a distinction is drawn in economic theory, but it is not a distinction in real life; here, the employer and the employee ultimately are one and the same person.

There are people in many countries who consider it very unjust that a man who has to support a family with several children will receive the same salary as a man who has only himself to take care of. but the question is not whether the employer should bear greater responsibility for the size of a worker's family.

The question we must ask in this case is: Are you, as an individual, prepared to pay more for something, let us say, a loaf of bread, if you are told that the man who produced this loaf of bread has six children? The honest man will certainly answer in the negative and say, 'In principle I would, but in fact if it costs less I would rather buy the bread produced by a man without any children.' The fact is that, if the buyers do not pay the employer enough to enable him to pay his workers, it becomes impossible for the employer to remain in business.

The capitalist system was termed 'capitalism' not by a friend of the system, but by an individual who considered it to be the worst of all historical systems, the greatest evil that had ever befallen mankind. That man was Karl Marx. Nevertheless, there is no reason to reject Marx's term, because it describes clearly the source of the great social improvements brought about by capitalism. Those improvements are the result of capital accumulation; they are based on the fact that people, as a rule, do not consume everything they have produced, that they save -- and invest ---a part of it. There is a great deal of misunderstanding about this problem and -- in the course of these lectures -- I will have the opportunity to deal with the most fundamental misapprehensions which people have concerning the accumulation of capital, the use of capital, and the universal advantages to be gained from such use. I will deal with capitalism particularly in my lectures about foreign investment and about that most critical problem of present-day politics, inflation. You know, of course, that inflation exists not only in this country. It is a problem all over the world today.

An often unrealized fact about capitalism is this: savings mean benefits for all those who are anxious to produce or to earn wages. When a man has accrued a certain amount of money -- let us say, one thousand dollars -- and, instead of spending it, entrusts these dollars to a savings bank or an insurance company, the money goes into the hands of an entrepreneur, a businessman, enabling him to go out and embark on a project which could not have been embarked on yesterday, because the required capital was unavailable.

What will the businessman do now with the additional capital? The first thing he must do, the first use he will make of this additional capital, is to go out and hire workers and buy raw materials -- in turn causing a further demand for workers and raw materials to develop, as well as a tendency toward higher wages and higher prices for raw materials. Long before the saver or the entrepreneur obtains any profit from all of this, the unemployed worker, the producer of raw materials, the farmer, and the wage-earner are all sharing in the benefits of the additional savings.

When the entrepreneur will get something out of the project depends on the future state of the market and on his ability to anticipate correctly the future state of the market. but the workers as well as the producers of raw materials get the benefits immediately. Much was said, thirty or forty years ago, about the 'wage policy,' as they called it, of Henry Ford. One of Mr. Ford's great accomplishments was that he paid higher wages than did other industrialists or factories. His wage policy was described as an 'invention,' yet it is not enough to say that this new 'invented' policy was the result of the liberality of Mr. Ford. A new branch of business, or a new factory in an already existing branch of business, has to attract workers from other employments, from other parts of the country, even from other countries. And the only way to do this is to offer the workers higher wages for their work. This is what took place in the early days of capitalism, and it is still taking place today.

When the manufacturers in Great Britain first began to produce cotton goods, they paid their workers more than they had earned before. Of course, a great percentage of these new workers had earned nothing at all before that and were prepared to take anything they were offered. but after a short time -- when more and more capital was accumulated and more and more new enterprises were developed -- wage rates went up, and the result was the unprecedented increase in British population which I spoke of earlier.

The scornful depiction of capitalism by some people as a system designed to make the rich become richer and the poor become poorer is wrong from beginning to end. Marx's thesis regarding the coming of socialism was based on the assumption that workers were getting poorer, that the masses were becoming more destitute, and that finally all the wealth of a country would be concentrated in a few hands or in the hands of one man only. And then the masses of impoverished workers would finally rebel and expropriate the riches of the wealthy proprietors. According to this doctrine of Karl Marx, there can be no opportunity, no possibility within the capitalistic system for any improvement of the conditions of the workers.

In 1864, speaking before the International Working-men's Association in England, Marx said the belief that labor unions could improve conditions for the working population was 'absolutely in error.' The union policy of asking for higher wage rates and shorter work hours he called conservative -- conservatism being, of course, the most condemnatory term which Karl Marx could use. He suggested that the unions set themselves a new, revolutionary goal: that they 'do away with the wage system altogether,' that they substitute 'socialism' -- Government ownership of the means of production -- for the system of private ownership.

If we look upon the history of the world, and especially upon the history of England since 1865, we realize that Marx was wrong in every respect. There is no western, capitalistic country in which the conditions of the masses have not improved in an unprecedented way. All these improvements of the last eighty or ninety years were made in spite of the prognostications of Karl Marx. For the Marxian socialists believed that the conditions of the workers could never be ameliorated [To make better, to improve; to heal; to solve a problem]. They followed a false theory, the famous 'iron law of wages'-the law which stated that a worker's wages, under capitalism, would not exceed the amount he needed to sustain his life for service to the enterprise.

The Marxians formulated their theory in this way: if the workers' wage rates go up, raising wages above the subsistence level, they will have more children; and these children, when they enter the labor force, will increase the number of workers to the point where the wage rates will drop, bringing the workers once more down to the subsistence level -- to that minimal sustenance level which will just barely prevent the working population from dying out. but this idea of Marx, and of many other socialists, is a concept of the working man precisely like that which biologists use -- and rightly so -- in studying the life of animals. Of mice, for instance.

If you increase the quantity of food available for animal organisms or for microbes, then more of them will survive. And if you restrict their food, then you will restrict their numbers. but man is different. Even the worker -- in spite of the fact that Marxists do not acknowledge it -- has human wants other than food and reproduction of his species. An increase in real wages results not only in an increase in population, it results also, and first of all, in an improvement in the average standard of living. That is why today we have a higher standard of living in Western Europe and in the United States than in the developing nations of, say, Africa.

We must realize, however, that this higher standard of living depends on the supply of capital. This explains the difference between conditions in the United States and conditions in India; modern methods of fighting contagious diseases have been introduced in India-at least, to some extent-and the effect has been an unprecedented increase in population but, since this increase in population has not been accompanied by a corresponding increase in the amount of capital invested, the result has been an increase in poverty. A country becomes more prosperous in proportion to the rise in the invested capital per unit of its population."

^Definition I suggest taking a step back and looking at what makes an academically acceptable dictionary definition. It would include:

1. True, for instance at least one mainstream dictionary equates corporatism and capitalism because The State is their biggest customer. So the contents of the definition can't be sophist in nature.
2. Accurate in the sense of identification, for instance one definition said UPB was an "action." I identify UPB as a theory in the same way that Kant's arguments for social responsibilities are theories. If Kant (who's arguments I mostly reject) were accepted as widely as Einstein, we might call his version of "social responsibility" a law or a principle; same with UPB. Most seriously religious people will reject UPB because it's about morality and ethics but doesn't come from "scripture." (I don't think we can assume seriously religious people won't be around in 100 years; that's what Freud thought, and he was wrong on that one...)
3. Unique, i.e., only define the term or its synonym(s), i.e. clearly delineate what the term applies to and what it doesn't. The term UPB describes something in the area of biology, so it could (I'm not sure for now) refer to a grouping of thought in the way that existentialism does.
4. Not contain the words of the term itself, to include relying on synonyms to communicate the meaning, e.g, to say UPB means "widely liked actions or inactions."
5. Be understandable, i.e., not theoretical to the point of being totally disconnected from the physical world surrounding the average person. I read one proposed definition of UPB that struck me as, for lack of better words, gobbldygook.
6. Have brevity; although that's a judgment area. I suggest brevity means up to the longest sentence a person can write without it being a run-on sentence. Some good dictionary definitions have several sentences, but in total they're about as long as one long sentence. A way I've approached this is to give two definitions for one word, a short version and a long version; i.e., a professional scholar would understand the short version, and a non-professional would have the long version as a resource. (example: unserf.com/#existentialism)

So the above list could be added to, refined, etc. and used as a checklist to see if a definition would be academically acceptable.

^{Historical Revisionism} Revisionist History Reading List by Lawrence M. Ludlow

20TH CENTURY HISTORY

John T. Flynn, The Roosevelt Myth, 1948 (available with an introduction by Ralph Raico. This book contains lots of great dirty and details about the farcical Roosevelt administration and its incredible corruption and despotic nature.

Robert B. Stinnett, Day of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor, 2000. This book was savagely and unsuccessfully attacked in the Wall Street Journal, and the Government has re-classified many of the papers cited in it because it had to.

Jim Powell, Wilson's War, 2005. This book puts together -- all in one place -- the entire story of how President Wilson's decision to enter WWI was devastating for the people of Russia, Germany, Europe, and indeed the entire world...not to mention the USA, which never returned to its laissez-faire roots afterward.

Thomas Fleming, The New Dealer's War: FDR and the War Within World War II, 2002. This book explains how FDR tricked the nation into WWII, which he had so difficult a time selling because so many Americans realized how they had been deceived by Wilson to get into WWI.

Thomas Fleming, The Illusion of Victory, 2003. This traces how Wilson was duped into WWI.

Ralph Raico, historian at State University of New York, Buffalo. He has written extensively on the absurdities of Presidents Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, and Truman. Check out his archives page at Lew Rockwell's web site. He's very entertaining, and there may be more at the mises.org web site. He has some audio tapes that are hilarious as well. but here's the Lew archive of his stuff: http://www.lewrockwell.com/ raico / raico-arch.html

John Denson, A Century of War. This connects WW1 and WW2 in some novel ways with information about some of the behind-the-scenes forces.

19th and 20th CENTURY HISTORY

John V. Denson, The Costs of War: America's Pyrrhic Victories, 1999. This collection of excellent essays is a real education. This book also addresses some late-19th century intervention such as the Philippines.

Hans Hermann Hoppe, The Myth of National Defense, 2003. This collection of essays includes some that explore the failure of tax-subsidized military organizations back as far as the early 19th century. Really a fine book.

Thomas J. DiLorenzo, The Real Lincoln: A New Look at Abraham Lincoln, His Agenda, and an Unnecessary War, 2003. Terrific debunking of the Lincoln cult.

Charles Adams, When in the Course of Human Events: Arguing the Case for Southern Secession, 2005. Great revisionist approach the War to Prevent Southern Independence.

Walter Kennedy and James Kennedy, The South Was Right!, 1994. Explores a host of secession issues and myths about the Civil War.

Thomas J. DiLorenzo, How Capitalism Saved America: The Untold History of Our Country, from the Pilgrims to the Present, 2005. This book covers some of the items in the Folsom books, but there are new topics as well.

COLONIAL AMERICAN HISTORY

Murray Rothbard, Conceived in Liberty (4 volumes), 1975. The first volume is the most difficult to read as it establishes the colony-by-colony attempt of old-world hegemonists to transplant a semi-feudal arrangement of law, land ownership, and religious repression in North America. You'll note the different structures that obtained in each of the several colonies and the ill effects, which are traced through each volume. Of particular interest is the growing borderline anarchism that breaks out among such separatists (abolitionists of The State?) such as Anne Hutchinson. The bibliographies are a rich source of reading that will take time to explore. You really get the low-down on wet-finger-in-the-wind characters such as Ben Franklin and his ilk. This book reveals the utter complexity of the break-away movement -- driven by dozens of different motives and toward different goals based on different cultural histories, religious permutations, etc., among the colonists. Once you read this book, you'll never say something like "the_colonists wanted..." You'll see that it was far more complex than that.

MEDIEVAL, RENAISSANCE, AND MODERN HISTORY

Terry Jones and Alan Ereira, Barbarians, 2006. From the Cambridge-educated comedian Terry Jones (with the assistance of historian/professor Ereira, this is a revision of standard approaches to medieval history vis-a-vis the untouchable pristine greatness of the Roman Empire. Great antidote to the Roman myth.

He addresses not only the history and implementation of this invention but its effects from an aracho-capitalist perspective.

Nathan Rosenberg and L. E. Birdzell, How the West Grew Rich: The Economic Transformation of the Industrial World, 1987.

John Julius Norwich wrote a wonderful History of Venice. If you read between the lines and ignore his silly statolatry, you can learn a lot about the advances and great standard of living enjoyed by Venetians because of their propensity to trade.

^Idioms

"Ambush Reporting": [Idiom]
....

"Bad Science": [Idiom]
....

"Bread and Circus": ....
In politics, a metaphor for the creation of public approval, not through exemplary or excellent public service or public policy, but through diversion, distraction, and / or the mere satisfaction of the immediate, shallow requirements of a populace. As the American author Robert Heinlein said, "Once the monkeys learn they can vote themselves bananas, they'll never climb another tree." The phrase originated from the supposed triviality and frivolity that characterized the Roman Republic prior to its decline into an autocratic monarchy.


"Break the Code": [Idiom] To decipher ("figure out") a secret. In the technical context, it refers to coded security measures such as passwords and cyphers. In the human relations context, it refers to deciphering agendas.


"Breaking Point": (slang) ....
To discover the hidden agenda in a given situation.


"Buy Time": In Government, to delay a problem's publicly visible results until one is out of office.


"Enemy of The State": ....


"Evolution versus Revolution": Evolution in the biological and societal context means gradual directional change, especially one leading to a more advanced or complex form. Revolution in the societal context means a political upheaval in a Government or nation state characterized by great change. Historically revolutions have revolved back to a similar situation that was revolted against. For instance the French revolt against the king resulted in Napoleon as an emperor followed by similar regimes. The industrial revolution improved many lives but is revolving back to a new form of feudalism. Evolution by contrast doesn't revolve back.


"Fall on your sword": ....


"Finding Oneself": .... [Standard Definition]


"Fifth Wheel": ....


"I am the great and powerful Wizard of Oz." / "Pay No Attention to that Man Behind the Curtain": .....


"If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants": A quote from Isaac Newton referring to his achievements being credited in part to other scientists making them possible.


"Ignorance of the Law is No Excuse": This may have been true when "law" was limited to common law. The proliferation of statutory "law", however, makes it near impossible or impossible to know the "law." A textbook example was life in the USSR when non-state production and property was "illegal", resulting in store shelves never being adequately stocked, in turn forcing people to make necessities such as kitchenware for themselves and trade such things among themselves. Thus everyone was an "outlaw", subject to "legal" prosecution at The State's convenience. A similar condition now exists in the U.S. (leading the way for many such laws in other countries), where being accused of terrorism can "legally" be immediately fatal or worse. In the U.S. there are also so many statutory "laws" that ordinary people commonly unknowingly break them, for instance in many areas by growing food or operating roadside food stands.


"It's earlier than you think.": ....


"Man's Inhumanity to Man": .....


"No Holds Barred": [Idiom] Literally without limit or restraint; ruthless.


"Ought from an Is": [Idiom] .... {e.g. Hume, Rand, economics as a value-free science, e.g. min wage laws cause unemployment and to some that's bad, to some that's good}


"Putting on the Ritz": [Idiom] ....


"Painting with a broad brush": [Idiom] ...


"Riding the Tiger": [Idiom] A proverb meaning the only place you can't be eaten by a tiger is riding it. An example is being an organized crime member not allowed to leave the organization under penalty of death.

[Further Description] I apply it to oligarchs and politicians who have to keep lying, killing, etc. to cover-up their past lying, killing, etc.


"The Gun in the Room": An expression to describe the basic fact that The State uses violence and the threat of violence to force people to do what they do not want to do, or prevent them from doing what they do want to do; i.e., The State is only an agency of violence. For instance if I disagree with public schools and therefore don't pay that part of my taxes, I go to jail or worse at the point of a gun or worse.

"The issue is not whether public schools are good or bad, but rather whether I am allowed to disagree with you without getting shot." - Posted by Gonzo Times on Jan 27, 2011 in Libertarianism

"The Tail Wagging the Dog": ....


"Why Not?": The quote "You see things; and you say, 'Why?' but I dream things that never were; and I say, 'Why not?" is by George Bernard Shaw. RFK stated he was quoting Shaw when he said this, but RFK is often thought to have originated the expression. I relate the expression to chattel slavery because the pro-slavery people used as their "proof" that slavery always had and therefore always would exist. I relate the chattel slavery example to today's example of finding an alternative to The State.

Four periods (....) indicate an in-work entry. Braces ( {this is a scratchpad note} ) indicate in-work scratchpad notes. A forward slash with a space on each side ( / ) means "and / or." Quotation marks indicate quotes and sometimes replace the words so called; e.g., rather than typing so called war on terror, I sometimes type "war on terror."

Method

• Because this Declaration is introductory in nature, I claim to describe more than to explain or prove. In the best cases, as I am working to achieve, I provide references for verification and further study.
• I state sources or arguments only for hard-to-research stated / claimed facts and conclusions. For instance statements about public schooling and feudal serfdom are easily researchable; the source of quotes from YouTube talks aren't. Some conclusions, e.g. about modern serfdom, may require more detailed arguments. I plan to add endnotes for these as writing progresses.
• I choose terms to define based on relevance to social engineering . Terms not in this Declaration are either not related or are adequately defined in mainstream sources. Many definitions are remixed from open source or non-copyrighted texts such as Wiktionary, Wikipedia, and the 1913 Webster's Dictionary. Those three sources aren't referenced any further than this sentence you just read.
• The English language limits male and female references in cases such as his and her. In the future, we humans will probably have similar words that simply refer to individuals with gender being irrelevant. I support whatever makes people happy within the self-ownership / nonaggression axiom.
• The glossary section is also written to:
• • practice what I preach about language and thought; i.e., not being able to accurately and concisely define a term at the time you use it indicates not fully knowing what you're talking about. I believe most people are aware of this; i.e., at some level of thought they know when they're pretending, but usually justify, rationalize, or simply ignore the pretension. Those of us aware of this and trying to correct it usually have to teach ourselves thinking skills we've been deprived of; i.e., traditional schooling teaches what to think rather than how to think.
  • counter language abuse by social engineering . Many words and terms defined below challenge the establishment and are thus corrupted, marginalized, or excluded by mainstream schooling and media. "Language is the Matrix, reality is the antidote; the facts, the truth, are the antidote." - Stefan Molyneux, YouTube video The Euro Plays Russian Roulette - And The Morality of Consequences uploaded 12-02-2011
  • explain some abstract terms better than I believe is generally available. For instance the word truth is an abstract term, meaning it represents something your five senses, or their extensions such as telescopes, can't directly contact. It's also a complex abstract concept, meaning it's hard or impossible to explain without using other abstract concepts such as honest or genuine. Pursuing complex abstract concepts in most dictionaries almost always results in circular (false) logic; e.g., they say truth is something genuine and something genuine is something true. Therefore my personal standard for writing definitions requires cross-referencing any complex abstract concepts in a way that prevents circular logic; a task I claim to relentlessly pursue rather than to have yet perfected.

Presently I'm sharing this document's progress in HTML format. It can be downloaded from most browsers using "File - Save Page As" or the equivalent. I'll convert the format to e-book when it's a first edition. Please note that hyperlinks enable this concise writing style, almost making paper copies of it irrelevant.

^{Oligarchs and Nobles} Some oligarchs and nobles are productive as individuals. Some may have been productive in their younger years, some are productive on a part time basis. Whatever oligarch / noble productivity exists is microscopic when compared to their costs as parasites. Their social classes are unnecessary and are destructive to human flourishing.

Not all parasites are oligarchs and nobles. Many are in the host social class, but are socially engineered as horizontal enforcers. Additionally, some people are part host and part parasite, but rarely of their own choosing. For instance Government interference in the economy causes some working poor to need Government subsidies and to in-turn support Government being more parasitic.


^{Refresher Word} Below (indented) are example refresher words. Other words in this glossary may also be refresher words but are listed elsewhere for further description relative to social engineering.

ACLU: .... [Standard Portrayal] The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is a nonpartisan non-profit organization whose stated mission is "to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to every person in this country by the Constitution and laws of the United States."[5] It works through litigation, lobbying, and community education. Founded in 1920 by Crystal Eastman, Roger Baldwin and Walter Nelles, the ACLU has over 500,000 members and has an annual budget over $100M. Local affiliates of the ACLU are active in all 50 states and Puerto Rico.

The ACLU provides legal assistance in cases in which it considers civil liberties to be at risk. Legal support from the ACLU can take the form of direct legal representation, or preparation of amicus curiae briefs expressing legal arguments (when another law firm is already providing representation). The ACLU has played a role in many landmark court decisions, including the Scopes Trial, Brown v. Board of Education, Gideon v. Wainwright, Griswold v. Connecticut, Roe v. Wade, New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, and Miranda v. Arizona.

In addition to representing persons in lawsuits, the organization also lobbies for policies that have been established by its board of directors. Current positions include: opposing the death penalty; supporting gay marriage and the right of gays to adopt; supporting birth control and abortion rights (as established in Roe v. Wade); eliminating discrimination against women, minorities, and gays; supporting the rights of prisoners and opposing torture; supporting the right of religious persons to practice their faiths without Government interference; and opposing any Government preference for religion over non-religion, or for particular faiths over others. The ACLU also maintains a variety of educational programs, intended to educate the public about civil liberties.

[Further Description] The state chapters are allowed by their ACLU charter to differ with national ACLU policy. For instance several state chapters are against all gun control. Even though I disagree with some details, I personally favor the ACLU because they attempt to limit Government.

Existentialism: [Shorter Standard Definition] A twentieth-century philosophical movement emphasizing the uniqueness of each human existence in freely making its self-defining choices, with foundations in the thought of Soren Kierkegaard (1813-55) and Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) and notably represented in the works of Karl Jaspers (1883-1969), Gabriel Marcel (1887-1973), Martin Heidegger (1889-1976), and Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-80).

[Longer Standard Definition] A term applied to a school of 19th- and 20th-century philosophers who, despite profound doctrinal differences, shared the belief that philosophical thinking begins with the human subject-not merely the thinking subject, but the acting, feeling, living human individual. In existentialism, the individual's starting point is characterized by what has been called "the_existential attitude", or a sense of disorientation and confusion in the face of an apparently meaningless or absurd world. Many existentialists have also regarded traditional systematic or academic philosophies, in both style and content, as too abstract and remote from concrete human experience. The early 19th century philosopher Soren Kierkegaard is widely regarded as the father of existentialism. He maintained that the individual is solely responsible for giving his or her own life meaning and for living that life passionately and sincerely, in spite of many existential obstacles and distractions including despair, angst, absurdity, alienation, and boredom. Subsequent existentialist philosophers retain the emphasis on the individual, but differ, in varying degrees, on how one achieves and what constitutes a fulfilling life, what obstacles must be overcome, and what external and internal factors are involved, including the potential consequences of the existence or non-existence of God. Existentialism became fashionable in the post-World War years as a way to reassert the importance of human individuality and freedom.

[Further Description] I agree with the longer standard definition except for verbosity. I agree with the shorter standard definition except how it represents existentialism as belonging to a narrow slice of the human species timeline. It may have received a name in the 1800s and it may have gained social recognition in the 1800s and 1900s, but I think it's always been a part of the human experience except when it was successfully engineered out of people. So I define existentialism as a human experiencing and responding to his or her environment without others' coercive influences. I was exposed to existentialism in high school and college, but it was made very complicated, probably because both institutions were manipulative; i.e., the "teachers" couldn't bluntly say something against the establishment.
