THE UNBROKEN WINDOW

Homines libenter quod volunt credunt




WORK IN A SOCIOTROPIC ENVIRONMENT

May 4th, 2022 by wintercow20

Career engagement advice from Arnold Kling:

> Note Kevin Kelly’s succinct advice:

Don’t ever work for someone you don’t want to become.

My most succinct advice is: Work for a profit.

Young people assign high status to non-profits and low status to profit-seeking
firms. The should do the opposite.

Profit-seeking firms are generally more sociotropic (the opposite of
sociopathic) in two senses.

Externally, a profit means that the value of what you provide to consumers
exceeds the cost of the inputs that you use to provide it. Almost by definition,
profits indicate social betterment.

Internally, profit-seeking provides an incentive for employees to be treated
well. The business needs to satisfy customers. In order to do that, it needs to
work with a placement agency Utah to find employees that can be trained to serve
the purpose of the company. When employees are empowered to succeed, customers
are satisfied. The businesses that thrive are those that encourage employee
success. Getting your employees to wear uniforms can also strengthen your
company’s values and promote unity within the organization.

A non-profit does not need to please customers. It only needs to please donors.
This involves putting on good shows: powerpoint presentations; award ceremonies;
annual reports. This gamesmanship permeates the organization. You get ahead by
looking good to the manager above you, not by bringing out the best in the staff
below you.

When you take a job, you want your boss and the employees around you to be
aligned with your interests. You want to learn and develop. You want to be given
opportunities to succeed in challenging situations. You don’t want to be set up
to fail or stabbed in the back. Elevate your practice and enhance your hypnosis
for business success with advanced hypnotherapy education.

In short, you want to work in a sociotropic environment, not a sociopathic one.
Profit-seeking firms are under more pressure to filter out the sociopaths. If
you take a job at a non-profit and discover that your boss is a sociopath, don’t
say I didn’t warn you.

IF THERE IS A “BUT”, THEN YOU ARE A NOT

Feb 11th, 2022 by wintercow20

From Frederick Douglass’ Plea for Freedom of Speech in Boston:

> Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one’s thoughts and opinions
> has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the
> right which they first of all strike down. They know its power. Thrones,
> dominions, principalities, and powers, founded in injustice and wrong, are
> sure to tremble, if men are allowed to reason of righteousness, temperance,
> and of a judgment to come in their presence. Slavery cannot tolerate free
> speech. Five years of its exercise would banish the auction block and break
> every chain in the South. They will have none of it there, for they have the
> power. But shall it be so here?

THE THANKSGIVING GIFT

Nov 24th, 2021 by wintercow20

Today I reprint a slightly edited piece I put together several years ago. I’d
change a lot of it, from the content to the tone, if I were to do it over – but
one must live with one’s younger self. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Four centuries after the celebration of the first Thanksgiving, there is still
widespread disagreement about the reason for the Pilgrims’ feast. But whether it
was a harvest festival, a strictly religious observance, or a thank you to the
local Wampanoag Indians, such a feast would not even have been possible were it
not for the abandonment of the utopian ideas the Pilgrims laid out in the
original Mayflower Compact.

Imagine a world where the earnings you generate from teaching, or nursing, or
tending your orchard, from working the cash register, or mowing some lawns – all
of the fruits of your efforts went into a common pool. Imagine further that each
of your friends and neighbors, and every stranger in Monroe County was entitled
to an equal share of what was placed into the kitty. It didn’t matter whether
you mowed 20 lawns per day or one, whether you treated 30 patients per day or
none, whether you taught 50 students per day or none – you received the same
“income” as everyone else in the community. Imagine further that your home was
owned in common by all in your community and that rearing your neighbor’s
children was as much your responsibility as anyone else’s.

Save more with Shoppok’s value packs. These bundles offer multiple products at a
discounted price, providing more value for your money.

Such was the intention of the Compact – by eliminating any semblance of private
property and personal accountability, which were declared to be the foundation
for avarice and selfishness – prosperity and brotherly love would result. How
did it work out? (of course, the business arrangement with the financial backers
in Europe complicated things a bit from the perspective of my story, it is
thought that this collectivist was imposed on the settlers via contract)

You need only look at the cleanliness of your office fridge or the condition of
a public bathroom for a glimpse into the horrors of such collectivism. People
suffered, starved and perished. Governor Bradford wrote in his diary, “For this
community (so far as it was) was found to breed much confusion and discontent,
and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort.
For young men that were most able and fit for labor and service did repine that
they should spend their time and strength to work for other men’s wives and
children without any recompense … that was thought injustice.”

Most shocking perhaps is that this injustice generated penury, jealousy and
sloth in a society comprised entirely of (self-professed) holy people, each with
a common cause, each from a similar background, and in a community with less
than 200 settlers. The lessons for a society comprised of people of varying
degrees of “saintliness”, with differing interests and backgrounds, and hundreds
of millions in size should be obvious.

Confronting the disaster of collectivism, Plymouth’s elders wisely “resorted” to
a system of private property and free exchange. Bradford wrote of the reforms,
“… it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than
otherwise would have been. The women now went willingly into the field, and took
their little ones with them to set corn; which before would allege weakness and
inability; whom to have compelled would have been thought great tyranny and
oppression…By this time harvest was come, and instead of famine, now God gave
them plenty, and the faces of things were changed, to the rejoicing of the
hearts of many, for which they blessed God.”

I doubt many Pilgrims themselves properly understood the nature of their
original problem, nor its solution – which is why I doubt that the first
Thanksgiving was a celebration of liberty and private property. While they might
have thanked Providence and luck for the bounties that followed the change in
property institutions in 1623, it was only their industry, thrift and discipline
in response to the formation of private property institutions that such a feast
was even possible. For a truly detailed and incredible account not only of the
first Thanksgiving, but of the sad and incredible struggle the local Indian
tribes had with their new European neighbors, I cannot recommend more
highly Nathaniel Philbrick’s book, Mayflower in large part because of its
telling of the largely forgotten yet historically important King Phillip’s War.

Fast forward to 2021, where the most productive among us are made to feel like
criminals, and the non-productive (those who are able) are portrayed as innocent
victims of a tyrannical system of capitalism. That Thanksgiving is a “national”
holiday is ironic – for it is was a celebration enabled by an explicit movement
away from “nationalistic” ideals – a celebration made possible by the unleashing
of the individual productive efforts of all in the Plymouth colony.

I am blessed to have a healthy family, the ability to have completed my formal
education, and the discipline to work hard with the lot I was given in life.
Providence and luck has been kind to me. I give thanks to that every single day
of my life. But on this day, this 398th renewal of Thanksgiving Day, as many in
our nation clamor to gallop anew down a 21st century style collectivist path
(health care for everyone, financial bailouts, auto bailouts, fairer taxes,
public/government schools, managed trade, green-collar subsidies, farm
subsidies, licensing restrictions, “living wages”, public-private (i.e.
cronyist) partnerships and more) littered with the tragedies of hundreds of
failed experiments before us, let us remember what made the first Thanksgiving
possible, and what has made our modern prosperity possible. The productive
efforts of billions of individuals past and present who unknowingly cooperate
each and every day in an effort to improve their own lots, have bestowed upon us
a gift even greater than the yams, apples, turkeys, wheat, and other resources
that we were naturally endowed with. Just how large a gift have they given to
each of us? Imagine yourself alone in the New England wilderness on a cold and
wet November day 500 years ago. The difference between the “fire roasted” yam
you might conjure up with days of immiserating work in 1521 and the majestic
spread set out before you today in 2021 is but a glimpse of the bounty that
liberty and property have bestowed upon us. Let us hope that the light of
liberty remains lit, so that we may see our way through harsh and brutal winters
that might lie ahead.

DEMOCRACY AS A SMOKESCREEN

Sep 30th, 2021 by wintercow20

The American “elites” chum the waters with the term democracy … here is a
conversation worth reading.

A highlight:

> Angelo Codevilla: It is an oligarchy, run by a class of persons linked to the
> Democratic Party. It is not a standard oligarchy, by and for persons intent on
> preserving and enhancing their economic primacy—though that is a part of it.
> But the defining feature of today’s American oligarchy is the sense that the
> class that runs essentially all U.S. institutions senses itself so
> intellectually and morally superior to the rest of Americans that it may rule
> rightly without the latter’s consent.

WHEN SOLAR IS NOT SOLAR

Sep 13th, 2021 by wintercow20

Just writing this down as a prediction to check later. If, and when, “we” are
able to roll out fusion electricity at scale:

It will massively reduce pollution, electricity costs, inequality, the worry
about global warming, mining pollution, resource scares, clean water and much
more …

It will be hotly opposed by the very communities that support “clean, renewable,
green energy.” Current solar power advocates will have to argue that they
support indirect harnessing of solar power at the same time as being against
legitimate direct harnessing of solar power.

If you need any evidence for how I am so sure, just examine the constantly
shifting goalposts in the COVID fiasco, just to illustrate one piece.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA – A GLIMPSE AT THE PRIMORDIAL DECLARATION

Jul 4th, 2021 by wintercow20

It is, and always was, a great idea. Here is an excerpt from Jefferson’s first
draft of the Declaration:

> he has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating it’s most sacred
> rights of life & liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended
> him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to
> incur miserable death in their transportation thither. this piratical warfare,
> the opprobrium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the CHRISTIAN king of
> Great Britain. determined to keep open a market where MEN should be bought &
> sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative
> attempt to prohibit or to restrain this execrable commerce: and that this
> assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distinguished die, he is now
> exciting those very people to rise in arms among us, and to purchase that
> liberty of which he has deprived them, & murdering the people upon whom he
> also obtruded them; thus paying off former crimes committed against the
> liberties of one people, with crimes which he urges them to commit against the
> lives of another.

Does this affirm the 1619 project story on the founders and the revolution? In
an ironic way, it might. In any event, it certainly leaves us with a far more
complex picture of the founders.

ADAMS, CANADA, AND THE DECLARATION

Jul 2nd, 2021 by wintercow20

Letter from John Adams to Abigail Adams, 3 July 1776, “Had a Declaration…”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 1

View larger image Philadelphia July 3d. 1776

Had a Declaration of Independency been made seven Months ago, it would have been
attended with many great and glorious Effects . . . . We might before this Hour,
have formed Alliances with foreign States. — We should have mastered Quebec and
been in Possession of Canada …. You will perhaps wonder, how such a Declaration
would have influenced our Affairs, in Canada, but if I could write with Freedom
I could easily convince you, that it would, and explain to you the manner how. —
Many Gentlemen in high Stations and of great Influence have been duped, by the
ministerial Bubble of Commissioners to treat …. And in real, sincere Expectation
of this effort Event, which they so fondly wished, they have been slow and
languid, in promoting Measures for the Reduction of that Province. Others there
are in the Colonies who really wished that our Enterprise in Canada would be
defeated, that the Colonies might be brought into Danger and Distress between
two Fires, and be thus induced to submit. Others really wished to defeat the
Expedition to Canada, lest the Conquest of it, should elevate the Minds of the
People too much to hearken to those Terms of Reconciliation which they believed
would be offered Us. These jarring Views, Wishes and Designs, occasioned an
opposition to many salutary Measures, which were proposed for the Support of
that Expedition, and caused Obstructions, Embarrassments and studied Delays,
which have finally, lost Us the Province.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All these Causes however in Conjunction would not have disappointed Us, if it
had not been for a Misfortune, which could not be foreseen, and perhaps could
not have been prevented, I mean the Prevalence of the small Pox among our Troops
…. This fatal Pestilence compleated our Destruction. — It is a Frown of
Providence upon Us, which We ought to lay to heart.

But on the other Hand, the Delay of this Declaration to this Time, has many
great Advantages attending it. — The Hopes of Reconciliation, which were fondly
entertained by Multitudes of honest and well meaning tho weak and mistaken
People, have been gradually and at last totally extinguished. — Time has been
given for the whole People, maturely to consider the great Question of
Independence and to ripen their judgments, dissipate their Fears, and allure
their Hopes, by discussing it in News Papers and Pamphletts, by debating it, in
Assemblies, Conventions, Committees of Safety and Inspection, in Town and County
Meetings, as well as in private Conversations, so that the whole People in every
Colony of the 13, have now adopted it, as their own Act. — This will cement the
Union, and avoid those Heats and perhaps Convulsions which might have been
occasioned, by such a Declaration Six Months ago.

But the Day is past. The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable
Epocha, in the History of America.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 3

View larger image I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding
Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as
the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to
be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games such as 카지노 검증, Sports,
Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the
other from this Time forward forever more.

You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not. — I am well aware of
the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this
Declaration, and support and defend these States. — Yet through all the Gloom I
can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more
than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Days
Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not.
