Manning Up

First off, a new Lunatic Fringe Podcast with myself and Matt Forney, where we discuss everything.  It’s an hour long, with an mp3 for download if you prefer. Now, to the point: My book. My Twitter. Glorious Hat! Stagnating technology. Manna, a short story. Also don’t forget to check out Heinlein’s short story The Man Who Was Too Lazy to Fail.

Gresham’s Law: It Also Applies to Sex and Culture 4

Gresham’s Law: It Also Applies to Sex and Culture

Folks, this is giong to be an argument about how degenerate culture drives out civilized culture, but we’re going to have to start this one off with some economic definitions; links to Wikipedia if I go too fast, but I think you’ll be able to keep up; so let’s jump into it: ͼ-Ѻ-ͽ 1. Gresham’s Law: “When a government compulsorily overvalues one type of money and undervalues another, the undervalued money will leave the country or disappear from circulation into hoards, while the overvalued money will flood into circulation.” The best examples involve either devaluing the coinage, or failing to...

A Culture of Death 6

A Culture of Death

My mother sat there weeping silent tears, as I thought about those twenty families who’ll never again be able to celebrate Christmas. 26 dead at Sandy Hook Elementary School; 25 murders and 1 suicide at the hands of Adam Lanza. “One of your Facebook friends,” she said, wiping her eyes, “said that you ought to write something about it.” “I should,” I replied; except hpx83 over at Save Capitalism had already beat me to it: What is ghastly about this events is not the number of dead. Hurricane Katrina was ghastly too, but not in the same way. The reason...

Linkage: Christmas Sellout Edition

Two weeks to go until Christmas; instead of supporting the Corporate Machine, help support your Friendly, Internet Entrepreneurs! Vox has released his latest novel, A Throne of Bones.  I just received my copy, so the review won’t be up for a while, but the man’s reputation should speak for itself. Speaking of which, did I mention that I’ve published a novel?  Buy the Washington Time’s “Must read book of 2012” before it’s 2013! And Aaron Clarey has a new book, too – Captain Capitalism’s Top Shelf: a collection of his best and most brilliant posts over the past six years. ...

What an Utter Disgrace 3

What an Utter Disgrace

From CNBC: Hoffa, whose father, Jimmy Hoffa Sr., was one of the nation’s most famous labor leaders and disappeared in 1975 in Michigan, denounced Republican leaders in a speech to the protesters. “Let me tell the governor and all those elected officials who vote for this shameful, divisive bill — there will be repercussions,” Hoffa said. “Some day soon, they will face the voters of Michigan and they will have to explain why they sided with the billionaires to back this destructive legislation.” … About 12,000 people converged on the Capitol to protest Tuesday’s vote. Michigan State Police Inspector Gene...

America’s Fiscal Cliff: Ron Paul Was Right

Another interview over at the Washington Times: Danny de Gracia: You recently put out a new video on your YouTube channel which was fairly technical in scope discussing how to govern in a depression. I take it that you haven’t bought into the official line that we’re “in a recovery” now? D.M.J. Aurini: Absolutely not. Ron Paul and Gary Johnson nailed it: All you need to do is to look at the numbers, or listen to your gut. With the numbers we’re looking at a shell game. The Consumer Price Index, for instance: it’s supposed to be a measure of how...
