    Socialism is Slavery without Accountability for the Slave-Owners

    [Political Theory Series] Right now the government takes one quarter of the fruit of my labor.  I don’t get to decide where that money goes or what it gets used for.  We are one-quarter socialist, from where I’m sitting.  Just heard that in New York City, which is not my problem, but a useful example, they’re trying  to raise taxes by another 9%, and trying to pass a law that prevents you from selling your property to anyone but the government.*  Okay, so fast-forward that madness a few generations, and you have a world in which everyone lives in government-owned housing and works without pay.  Someone else decides where you live, what you do, and what stuff you can have.  How is that different from slavery?  Only in one respect: you’re owned by committee, instead of by an individual, so there’s no one to hold accountable when things go too far.  Fork socialism. *correction: proposed NYC law is about selling apartments, not houses (yet). Certain non-profits would get first dibs on multi-family residential purchases. Still illustrates the trend.

    Ep32 - The Plagiarizing Ego

    Why do we maintain our positions? I recently caught myself getting defensive about ideas I didn’t even come up with, and so now I present to you the concept of the Plagiarizing Ego.

    Ep31 - Semantic Contagion

    Ideas, as neural patterns, live in the brain, can regulate and originate behavior, and can spread from one brain to another. In this episode, we’ll think about the concepts of semantic contagion and rational malware.

    Ep29 - Personality Programming & Suprahuman Entanglements

    “...anyone who considers the basic drives of man.... will find that all of them have done philosophy at some time – and that every one of them would like only too well to represent just itself as the ultimate purpose of existence and the legitimate master of all the other drives. For every drive wants to be master – and it attempts to philosophize in that spirit.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche Augmenting Willpower (audiobook): https://www.amazon.com/Audible-Augmenting-Willpower/dp/B0CMY2T4D5/ An Idea is Not a Product: Moving Daydreams from Your Head to Your Wallet (audiobook): https://www.amazon.com/Idea-Not-Product-Moving-Daydreams/dp/B0CXFXXLB1/ The Podcram (highlights from other podcasts): https://open.spotify.com/show/7eXzt8qPiuh0Er6CIwVKFK Intro theme: "Shattered", by https://www.youtube.com/@VopiscusGuitar Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/psychic-lube/id1747070167 YouTube: https://youtube.com/@psychiclube

    Ep28 - Goals vs Whims

    You don’t need to “get in touch” with your feelings. Whim is the polar opposite of conscious self-direction. You need top-down alignment, not bottom-up, or you’ll be reversing the neural circuitry that gives us humans what little autonomy we’ve managed to evolve.
