There needs to be a tax on network effects to replace taxes on economic activity.
Libertarians need to think more deeply here. The state of nature is one in which a natural person has de facto rights to fight for his survival — which includes not just his own personal survival but the right to sire and raise children to equally viable adulthood. When I use the word “fight” I mean it: Animals will fight for territorial access for the lives of themselves and their progeny. The Austrian and Lockean schools fail to recognize the situation which arises in nature when an animal is without the means of intergenerational sustenance, and the necessity of aggression in some of those situations. Civilization attempts to ignore this by proclaiming “property rights” as “natural” against “aggression”. This foolishness at the heart of these schools of thought renders them forever vulnerable to collectivists. The way out is trivially obvious: Follow Lysander Spooner’s definition of legitimate government as a mutual insurance company into which men voluntarily invest their natural rights in exchange for shares in and dividends from the company. The premiums paid for property rights take the place of taxes. The dividends (sometimes called "universal basic income" or "citizen's dividends") neutralize collectivism's bureaucratically controlled social welfare. The violation of this simple and obvious paleolibertarian construct sacrifices the bedrock principle of liberty upon which civilization is founded for the high purpose of becoming politically impotent against collectivists. Just look at the Presidental campaigns of Ron Paul and his son Rand.
As for socialists, all they need to do is find out who is responsible for ignoring Martin Luther King Jr’s final advice which was quite congruent with this paleolibertarian notion of natural rights investment being compensated by a race-blind dividend, rather than racial preferences such as affirmative action:
Socialists need to find out who is responsible for ignoring MLK’s advice, given just before his assassination, as a part of his "Poor People's Campaign" that attempted to be inclusive of the white working class. Socialists need to find out who -- and do whatever it takes to neutralize their power — and I mean whatever it takes.
I’d start with the Southern Poverty Law Center as they were an offshoot of the "Poor People's Campaign" and were, after MLK's demise, instrumental in diverting policy away from MLK's race-neutral basic income, and toward waging the war on the white working class's reaction to affirmative action's de facto race-based tax on that demographic group. If Sanders was serious about defeating Trump, he'd take this advice to heart and do it NOW.
An immediate transition to a paleolibertarian mutual insurance company would be too big a leap for existing institutions. An intermediate step would be to replace taxes on economic activity with a tax on the liquidation value of net assets owned by natural persons. This would take the place of Spooner's property insurance premium. By being on "liquidation value", this tax would fall most heavily on network effect profits and would provide the revenue for the unconditional basic income (as the proxy for the dividend payment to members of the mutual insurance company).
This would, by the way, also resolve the old conflict between the gold standard thesis and the central bank fiat antithesis, with a new monetary synthesis.
Autarky enabled by unconditional basic income (aka "citizens dividend") promotes more global socioeconomic resilience than does global interdependence. This happens because the governments distributing the funds are faced with two very practical problems: Keeping the world's population from invading their territory and keeping the economic stimulus from draining, almost immediately, out of the country to pay for cheaper goods and services offered abroad. Both of these require much stronger border controls. By having a much larger number of jurisdictions with much stronger border controls, the degree to which disruptions can propagate is curtailed and the degree to which environmental impacts can be externalized via jurisdictional arbitrage is likewise curtailed.
All in all, this is a great strategic move not just for particular nations, but as a global trend.
Look at the prevailing atmospheric vorticity of the area, place a bunch of counter-vorticity-inducing stators around the biggest leak (just a few percent cant on them is sufficient) and light it up. The updraft will pull air in through the stators inducing continuous vorticity that will form a fire tornado miles into the atmosphere, totally oxidizing the methane and anything else that might burn in the gas.
Once the fuel supply is cut off, the vortex may be self-sustaining due to the temperature difference between the ground and the upper troposphere. This is known as an Atmospheric Vortex Engine.
To turn it off, you turn the stators straight in thereby removing the vorticity and the vortex structure dissipates into a normal updraft.
19th century scientists claimed they could identify the sex of a person based solely on their disembodied genitalia.
However, as 21st century gender scientists know, sex reassignment surgery would utterly befuddle such no-nothing pseud-scientists from the bad old days.
As the person credited for the first law commercializing space launch services (credited by the law's sponsor, Ron Packard during his introduction of my Congressional testimony on space commercialization) there truly _is_ a problem with privatized space and it is a capital market failure.
This capital market failure systemically suppresses technology investment and it derives from something that should be obvious to anyone in venture finance:
Economic activity is taxed rather than liquidation value of net assets.
A venture financier, or angle, or anyone else who takes dollars out of a bank account and puts it into a high risk venture, is rendering their capital illiquid. If you cease taxing economic activity (income, capital gains, sales, value added, inheritance, gifts, etc.) and instead tax only the liquidation value of net assets, for all practical purposes high risk investments cease being taxed.
Its obvious why so-called "liberals" don't want this since by-passing the welfare state without regard to any politically defined criteria other than citizenship, it would gut their political base.
Conservatives, in particular neo-libertarians of the Austrian School, on the other hand, have much to answer for here. A net asset tax, so assessed, is a big step toward the anarchocapitalism of the American school of libertarian thought exemplified by Lysander Spooner in his definition of "legitimate government" as "a mutual insurance company". Protecting property rights is according to the American school of libertarian philosophy (as contrasted with the Austrian school), the primary role of government and it is entirely legitimate to charge for that service just as it is legitimate for a property insurance company to charge a premium that is approximately proportional to the value of the property being underwritten. Moreover, it is entirely legitimate for any company to pay dividends and a mutual company would pay dividends to its members -- members who, quite reasonably, could be called on for service in times of emergency such as war and could, therefore, quite reasonably be assigned one share and exactly one share each.
Indeed, I view it as a moral responsibility for men like Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Mark Zuckerberg -- particularly as beneficiaries of network externalities aka network effects that could not exist in the absence of government protection of those monopolistic property rights -- to at the very least lend their vocal, if not material, support to such a capital reform.
It would be smart for risk investors like Elon Musk to do so.
In the US We the People are sovereign. Dissolving The People and electing a new one is treason. It doesn't matter if that is accomplished by throwing the "old" people into gas ovens or simply rendering the conscientious portion of the middle class effectively incapable of responsible replacement reproduction -- if you do either by commission or omission from a position of public trust and authority, it is an act of treason.
To go from there to saying "Oh, gee, we're suffering a demographic collapse so let's import lots of immigrants to replace The People." you are making those immigrants accomplices to genocide.
Either treason or genocide are hanging offences and the vast majority of the US Federal Government officials are guilty.
Mrs. Slim was a Gemayel on her mother’s side. The name “Gemayel” brings back memories... After visiting the Berlin Olympics in 1936, Pierre Gemayel founded Lebanon’s fascist-oriented, pro-Western Phalange Party... Sheik Pierre’s son Bashir Gemayel was the most ferocious Christian warlord of Lebanon’s civil war that began in 1975. (Above is Geraldo Rivera’s 1982 interview with Bashir.) It should be kept in mind that much of Bashir’s violence was devoted less to fighting Muslims than to making the Gemayels supreme over the other Christian warlord clans, such as the Chamouns.
Carlos Slim bought the New York Times on the strength of his corrupt relations with the Mexican government that gave him monopoly on cell phone communications in that country.

The fact that there is any need to restrict speech means the thoughts behind them weren't banned to begin with. By the time students enroll in higher education, they should already have been thoroughly trained in Crime Stop. Since the verbal analogies section of the SATs were removed it seems high time for there to be a Crime Stop section added as an appropriate replacement:
Crimestop means the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to Ingsoc, and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. Crimestop, in short, means protective stupidity.
Something that has occurred to me is the possible use of a nuclear detonator technology developed by Lawrence Livermore National Labs called a "Slapper". A slapper, used to propel mass at high velocities, overcomes some engineering problems with railguns by not fighting the vaporization of metal in the ammo, but rather using it as the propulsive "gas" behind a dielectric material which can be made refractory.
In eusocial insect colonies, the workers are all parasitically castrated females.
They are parasitically castrated by their own queen mother who uses them as cells in her extended body called the hive or colony.
The real problem we face is that human civilization isn't as highly evolved as the eusocial insects: Civilization's components (erstwhile "humans") don't have the phenotypic plasticity that allows ontogenic paths so radically different as to permit the same genome to become either a queen or a parasitically castrated female worker depending on its upbringing.
We must fervently work to correct this deficiency.
Excerpted from MLK's "Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?" (New York: Harper & Row, 1967).
“In the treatment of poverty nationally, one fact stands out: there are twice as many white poor as Negro poor in the United States. Therefore I will not dwell on the experiences of poverty that derive from racial discrimination, but will discuss the poverty that affects white and Negro alike.
Up to recently we have proceeded from a premise that poverty is a consequence of multiple evils: lack of education restricting job opportunities; poor housing which stultified home life and suppressed initiative; fragile family relationships which distorted personality development. The logic of this approach suggested that each of these causes be attacked one by one. Hence a housing program to transform living conditions, improved educational facilities to furnish tools for better job opportunities, and family counseling to create better personal adjustments were designed. In combination these measures were intended to remove the causes of poverty.
While none of these remedies in itself is unsound, all have a fatal disadvantage. The programs have never proceeded on a coordinated basis or at a similar rate of development. Housing measures have fluctuated at the whims of legislative bodies. They have been piecemeal and pygmy. Educational reforms have been even more sluggish and entangled in bureaucratic stalling and economy-dominated decisions. Family assistance stagnated in neglect and then suddenly was discovered to be the central issue on the basis of hasty and superficial studies. At no time has a total, coordinated and fully adequate program been conceived. As a consequence, fragmentary and spasmodic reforms have failed to reach down to the profoundest needs of the poor.
In addition to the absence of coordination and sufficiency, the programs of the past all have another common failing—they are indirect. Each seeks to solve poverty by first solving something else.
I am now convinced that the simplest approach will prove to be the most effective—the solution to poverty is to abolish it directly by a now widely discussed measure: the guaranteed income.
Earlier in this century this proposal would have been greeted with ridicule and denunciation as destructive of initiative and responsibility. At that time economic status was considered the measure of the individual’s abilities and talents. In the simplistic thinking of that day the absence of worldly goods indicated a want of industrious habits and moral fiber.
We have come a long way in our understanding of human motivation and of the blind operation of our economic system. Now we realize that dislocations in the market operation of our economy and the prevalence of discimination thrust people into idleness and bind them in constant or frequent unemployment against their will. The poor are less often dismissed from our conscience today by being branded as inferior and incompetent. We also know that no matter how dynamically the economy develops and expands it does not eliminate all poverty.
We have come to the point where we must make the nonproducer a consumer or we will find ourselves drowning in a sea of consumer goods. We have so energetically mastered production that we now must give attention to distribution. Though there have been increases in purchasing power, they have lagged behind increases in production. Those at the lowest economic level, the poor white and Negro, the aged and chronically ill, are traditionally unorganized and therefore have little ability to force the necessary growth in their income. They stagnate or become even poorer in relation to the larger society.
The problem indicates that our emphasis must be two-fold. We must create full employment or we must create incomes. People must be made consumers by one method or the other. Once they are placed in this position, we need to be concerned that the potential of the individual is not wasted. New forms of

As for socialists, all they need to do is find out who is responsible for ignoring Martin Luther King Jr’s final advice which was quite congruent with this paleolibertarian notion of natural rights investment being compensated by a race-blind dividend, rather than racial preferences such as affirmative action:

This would, by the way, also resolve the old conflict between the gold standard thesis and the central bank fiat antithesis, with a new monetary synthesis.
The liquidation value of legally recognized assets would provide the backing for the money supply. This provides all the counter-cyclical monetary control needed, and can get rid of much if not most of the government's bureaucracies (including much of the military if you follow the Swiss model of national security).
Have you considered the utility of a compression-based AI prize for not only advancing machine learning, but also redressing information sabotage? Since Google DeepMind cofounder, Shane Legg, demonstrated the utility of a mathematically rigorous measure of problem-solving intelligence, which is based on Hutter's provably "optimal agent", Universal Algorithmic Intelligence, it seems time for an update of The Hutter Prize for Lossless Compression of Human Knowledge in two way tos: 1) a much larger knowledge base and 2) correspondingly much larger prize endowment. As such a prize pays only in proportion to rigorously measurable progress, and that progress is made public in the form of the refinement of knowledge, it would be a low risk public good appropriate for public sector as well as NGO endowment.

This is why, the year after I testified before Congress on the initial legislative direction for companies like SpaceX, I wrote a white paper titled "A Net Asset Tax Based On The Net Present Value Calculation and Market Democracy" wherein I proposed a shift away from centralized government provision of technology development and, at the same time, a shift away from politically biased government delivery of social goods (ie: the welfare state), by taxing net assets at the rate of interest on the national debt and distributing tax revenues as an unconditional citizen's dividend. Later I clarified the assessment mechanism to be liquidation value as well as some of the further aspects of government to be privatized.
