How The World Works In Theory

Survival of the fittest: Examples of this are in the natural world. Also if you have a bigger gun you can kill someone and take their stuff. Also this is how war works, lots of stupid soldiers killing lots of other stupid soldiers, doing what their leader wants, all just to make their leader richer. Also in the job world the better or fitter employees get payed more and the unskilled ones get paid less or don't have a job. And if you have more people in your company or army then you are fitter than the other company or army, and can outlast them. Same with if you know more than them or have better technology. Pure capitalism is the same as war but without bloodshed. But that's just another name for survival of the fittest.

Slavery: The confederates won the civil war. There's the slavery we all know of from the past, but did you know that you're a slave to your CEO. Because CEO's get paid thousands of times more per hour than their employees. This is exactly the same pay scale as slaves getting payed in food, because lots of people are the working poor, who don't even have a higher standard of living by working. We only work for an employer because we have no choice because there's no other way to make money for food or anything, in the same way as slaves have no other choice than to serve their master otherwise they don't get food and get whipped. The CEO's put their hordes of people to work in cooperation to produce very useful products, which is also how they built the pyramids, but with slaves.

Vendors: It used to be that people would have a tent on the street and sell their wares and call it a market, but now every item is in one store owned by one CEO called a supermarket. So instead of having homemade things like food and clothes we now have factory made things that are highly complex and made of cheap materials and cost way more than they're worth. We give our boss most of the money we earn and then we give the CEO of the item we're buying the bulk of the price mark up. Meaning we're working way too hard for what we earn and buy. The old way of doing things is not necessarily worse, it's only a different way of doing things.

Bribery: In order to get the government on their side big business bribes them to make favorable regulations and laws. Also police are bribed with a steady pay low paying pay check to risk their lives to enforce the laws that the government enacted. When business and government are in bed together it's fascism. But that's just another name for bribery.

Nepotism: CEO's are not selected by how good they are at doing their job. They are selected from family and friends of the family that started the company. This is also seen in ancient royal families that owned a kingdom. Proof of this was that I saw a kid fresh out of high school working as a pit boss at a casino. This cushy job placement was not determined by the skill of the kid, but the family and friends he had. Not to mention he was a white guy along with all of the other pitt bosses in this so called Indian casino.

Things You Can Depend On

Like the old saying goes by Benjamin Franklin:

Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.

So those are 2 things you can depend on but also there are others.

CEO's will always have to increase the bottom line. Making products more expensive and paying employees less, and cutting jobs or transporting them over seas. They will also cut benefits until there are none eventually. Say good bye to pensions for retirement like the general motors workers did.

Lawmakers have to make new laws. These laws are to help out companies or to make things illegal that don't hurt anyone. If they could find a way to make under the table transactions illegal they would.

Taxes always rise. Read my lips on this one. And when they cut spending yet still raise taxes that just shows how much politicians can get away with.

Crime only rises. A well known fact is that as the economy goes down crime rises. The only way crime goes down is if you move to a less populated area. In the 50's nobody ever had to lock their doors. The only reason we have locks is because people like to steal things.

Population only grows. God almighty is blessing us because every child is a miraculous gift from god. So then why is it a good thing that demand goes up and supply goes down because of this.

Insurance is a paradox. If you need it, you can't get it. If you don't need it, they'll happily give it to you. If you just want one check up per year that's already factored into the yearly cost so why not just pay the doctor directly. Even with universal health care we will still always pay the same amount to the doctors in the end. The only coverage worth getting is catastrophic coverage. But why pay for that when you can get it for free from state run medicaide?

The economy in America can only go down. Because we are now a world economy, all our jobs are being transported overseas because other countries are now building infrastructure. The dollar is becoming worthless. There is no way for entrepreneurs to succeed when there are monopolies everywhere in America.

Rents and bills only go up. Have you ever seen rents or bills go down?

Accidents will happen. As long as you trust other people in any way shape or form there will always be untrustworthy people or just accidents that they caused and you couldn't prevent.

Change is always for the worse. Based on all of the above, I think you'll agree with me on this one!

Rules and the Ruling Class

Rules do not reflect reality, because reality has no rules. Rules only reflect the people making them.

The golden rule: The people with the gold make the rules.

I want to live in a place where you can leave your car or house unlocked and never ever have to worry. Also where you can leave a bike on the side of the road without locking it up. We all do these things as kids until people vandalize or steal things and we learn not to. Also we assume everyone is nice as kids but soon learn through experience that everyone is an asshole for no reason. Then we eventually become one ourselves.

Politics: Cutting spending is not in any politicians vocabulary. They're in it for power and control, if you spend more then you have control over people because now "They owe you". The whole idea of monetizing the budget is so the gov can give people money, so that the gov will get more power. The gov buying GM and socialized medicine and all other aspects of society is all about getting more power. This has been called "Obamanopoly".

Money is just a measurement of power. If the government taxes 50% of your monthly income then you are 50% slave to them. And if they ever find a way to tax 100% of your money every month then you will be 100% slave to them. Also monetizing the budget is a way to tax without people knowing it. They print more money and now all the dollars in the US are worth less. And therefor the fed just took money out of your pocket without you knowing it.

The whole financial crisis in California is a good example of where this country is heading. The whole problem would be solved if they cut spending. But they can't cut spending because that's not in politicians vocabulary. So now they have to sell off parts of the state, and legalize marajuana so that they can tax it. They now have a "Sin tax" where eating twinkies is taxable(the twinkie tax). The cost of cigarettes has just gone up $1 a pack as a sin tax, alcohol is the same. It's getting so preposterous that you'd have to be insane to live there. But it's a shame that someday that's what every state in the US will look like becase politicians only want more power and will never want less power. Which is exactly what our founding fathers were trying to avoid.

Rules and the ruling class:
Rules are another form of power. It's the way the man keeps you down. We have so many stupid rules now, and it keeps getting worse. Do the rules protect us? Or are they proposterous? Are rules the only way for society to function?

You're always seeing rich and powerful people in the news these days breaking the rules, and not just that, but getting away with it. Preachers being anointed by God to no longer be gay after being caught. Governors caught cheating on wives, and just saying they're sorry lets them get away with it. Even in these trusted positions with all this power, where we need the most trustworthy individuals, we have them doing untrustworthy things. Even the presidents, like Bill Clinton getting impeached. And Nixons Watergate. Can we even trust our supreme court justices when during every state of the union address they never clap or show any opinion or emotion either way as if they were vulcans. We all know that every human has opinions or emotion, and we're supposed to believe this. How is this fakery trustworthy.

Even when the powerful elite break the law they just make it top secret. If nothing ever officially happened then it can never be against the law, can it. See my top secret post.

If you're rich you don't have to follow the rules. There are no consequences.
When Paris Hilton broke the law and was supposed to go to jail she instead was allowed to stay under house arrest for a few days in her multimillion dollar mansion and then she was off scot free. If the rich have a criminal record it doesn't matter because they won't need to apply for a job any time soon with their net worth. And if they have to pay bail that's nothing. What's a few thousand dollars to a multi millionaire? Why should we follow the rules, if our ruling class doesn't?

What's the point of enforcing the rules if even when you punish a criminal they still commit more crimes afterward as repeat offenders? The 3 strikes you're out rule is a good solution to this though.

People will always follow the rules anyway. Just keep the right group of friends. Because we all have networks of friends, if we ever do anything to hurt anyone then their friends will eventually ask questions and find out and punish you. This also means that you can have rumors spread that are untrue and make enemies for no reason, with the wrong group of friends. Example: Blair witch trials, and tribal witch doctor culture. So our society with no rules would be as bad as tribal culture with law enforcement. Minus any reason cause a fight other than magic, or killing for no reason.

"Where there are no people there are no rules." So if all else fails and martial law is in sight, head to international waters or a developing country in the wilderness, to get away from it all, until all the dust settles. See my survival checklist for how to survive.

I have a little theory though, to solve all of these problems of rules. It's so simple, that it might just work.

I submit that if everything in life were free, then there would be no need for rules! Look to my "Free emporium post" for more details.

Now is the time to buy gold

My dad just gave me a quick economics lesson.
Now is the time to get a hedge against inflation such as gold or real estate.
The reasons for this can be found in this quick economics lesson:

When the government wants to get more taxes but doesn't want you to know you're being taxed, what do they do?
Well one thing they do is they tax someone other than the nice people that voted for them, like lets say... the energy companies! So they say, "We won't tax you, instead we'll tax those evil energy companies in order to cut down on emissions because it's the green thing to do". But what do the energy companies do? They still need to make their percentage, so they just raise energy prices and pass the buck onto the consumer... that means you! So now through this third party you are being taxed by the government.
But some people can figure out this shell game, so what's another way they can tax you without you knowing? Well they can print money and basically borrow from themselves which is called monetizing the debt, the definition in short is "printing more money, which causes inflation". But this also means that if there is more money but the same amount of goods and services then you just do the math and the same goods and services will now cost more in dollars. But it won't hit the entire economy right away which is good because you have time to buy hedges against inflation before the effects actually hit. People say "But how will we pay off all of this debt?" Oh they don't pay it off, they just print more of what passes for money these days(lets say t-bills), so the debt will always be there.
The fact is that most people are just too stupid to know when they're being taxed. And they think that the government is stupid but, they aren't and they know exactly what they're doing and what's going on.
They had to have known about the housing bubble. Here's why. When the house lending industry was deregulated(actually meaning regulations mandating that unqualified buyers be accepted for loans. Yes this is backwards but correct). This made it so that there were now more people bidding on the same house, when there used to be only 2 qualified buyers there are now 2 qualified buyers and 8 unqualified buyers, all bidding on the same house which because of supply and demand means that the house prices went up. And when the bubble burst this was called a housing "market correction". Where all of the unqualified buyers are now not buying houses the demand went way down and so did the prices.
But houses are always a good investment even if the dollar becomes worthless because even then your renters will just pay in whatever currency is around then. And as they say, "They aren't making land anymore".
But in short whenever they say "We're monetizing the debt" you should run out and buy gold or real estate, because those are hedges against inflation. But with real estate you have leverage so that should be the main thing to buy now especially right after a market correction like this in Florida.
But the one thing I'm not sure of is that if one bar of gold now will buy the same number of loaves of bread per ounce as in the future then you're not actually making money, unless maybe you have the power of leveraging, like with houses. At least you want to retain any money you have already by converting your cash into hedges.

How to make your own country

Build it based on basic principles of human nature:

1. People always do what they believe is in their own best interest even if that just being happy by helping others.
2. People will always work toward improving their standard of living and becoming wealthy, which is why socialism doesn't work.
3. Will trade with others that can do other things better than themselves.

To invent new things I do it for charity but others may want to get rich off of it, which is when it may be necessary for the good of the one outweigh the good of the many by letting the inventor get a patent and sole ownership of the invention as an incentive for them to invent in the first place.
Then make a currency that is based on something trustworthy. If you can print as much of it as you want then it requires faith that you have to hope everyone believes in. So instead use something that you know is valuable such as gold or artwork or a limited amount of unique coins to create rarity as value.
Some forms of currency could be:

• gold unique stamped coin currency is the most trustable.
  
• salt
• Stamped game machine coins
  
• Unforgeable ink stamp on paper of limited run of papers
  
• Or trade reprints of pre-comics-code horror comics as currency for all anyone cares.
  

By the way this is a good way around sales tax and the freedom coin and hours worked credits and burning man project are taking advantage of this principle.

Then buy land, or an island with enough land to house and feed the people living in your country.
And maybe pay for taxes with an interest earning fund of the amount needed every year.
To get around taxes just renounce your citizenship and live on a yacht on international waters and go to uninhabited islands for recreation and food. Also to not pay property tax on a house you can build a floating house on the water, even next to land. To not pay luxury tax on a ferrari you can sign the title away to a friend for cheap and then have them give it back to you somehow and you technically don't own it anymore, and won't know you're still driving it. See: part 2 of the unemployment episode of "mission hill".
When buying an island it will have no electricity or buildings or water or sewer and may just be solid rock. But if its only you on the island then you don't need a sewer system. Also with all of the spare time on your hands, building the rest should be easy at working 8 hours a day like at a normal job.
Also the biggest and most productive country has always won all of the wars. But if nobody else is after you then you will have no wars to worry about.

Capitalism Gone Bad

The reason capitalism works is that we work in order to increase our standard of living and build wealth to one day not have to work anymore.
Socialism doesn't work because people are not creating wealth and are only sharing what already exists. There is also no insentive to work if all of your efforts are wasted by being given to the next guy that didn't work at all.
What if we have no more insentive to work in America?

The problem is that in America we don't have the same capitalism that the theory supports.

• We work but we don't increase our wealth or our standard of living.
• We have to pay a cable bill for eternity instead of paying for the actual cable box just once. Are we paying to be tortured by the constant commercials also.
• All heating and cooling is an expense that we pay to the utility companies forever, instead of just buying the solar panels once.
• We have to pay for water indefinitely instead of getting it free from the sky and boiling it with solar energy. There are many other alternative methods of retrieving water though. See : Artificial aquifer.
  
• We have to pay for jam and fruits indefinitely, instead of getting it for free from surrounding nature, and making it ourselves.
• We have to pay for fish forever, even when it's not fresh, instead of getting them for free from a lake or river. "MMM sushi!"
  
• We have to pay off a house for the rest of our lives, and maintain and update it, instead of making it, and then being done with it right then and there, FOREVER. Why go big? Just make the same size cabin as everyone has in Alaska! With free wood or cheap and green technology. See : R- value in Alaska.
  
• Retirement is not earned anymore, but instead we force our children to pay taxes for us when we start to get our social security one day.
• We have to pay an electric bill instead of having free infinite energy from solar panels that are maintenance free when they are installed with weather and tamper proof structure.
• If you can't save any money at all to increase your standard of living in any meaningful way then you might as well not work, and instead just live in the woods, because your chances are better for capitalism to work there, where you keep what you produce, and you build your standard of living as you work. just think of what you could achieve at 8 hrs/day working on a tree house or on a garden.
  

All of our efforts these days are put into maintaining our standard of living, not into raising our standard of living.
The problem is when we're are adapted to city life, then we've also forgotten how to live independently in a rural life. Also some of us have never had the option of living outside of the city.
Is America all of a sudden "dependent", and no longer "independent"?

Proof That Congress Is Incompetent Or Corrupt

If there is only one right decision or course of action for any issue. Then it stands to reason that when congress never gets anything done because they can never agree on any issue, that half of the people in congress are either incompetent or are deliberately making bad decisions for Americans. So much for them being the best and brightest. I tend to think that half of them are corrupt and that explains the bad decision making.
Educate yourself to make decisions on facts alone and not emotions. If we all agreed on everything because we all shared the same fact based opinions then there would never again be war or even arguments. Also some decisions are into uncharted territory, so there is no reference to know for sure that it's the right decision. This is the difference between "theory", and "facts" that are proven experimentally.
