Comment on Are You A Founder, CEO, or Entrepreneur? by Michael

Founder on a business card looks tacky.

If you started the business but don’t work in it you are an owner.

If you started the business as a venture with the notion of exiting and or selling, you are an entrepreneur

If you run and lead the business you are a CEO

Comment on The Rule of Law and the Global Poor by Larry Cheng’s Insight Into Poverty And The Rule of Law « HireAHelper's Everything Home Blog

[...] Larry Cheng shared some incredible insight he gained after speaking with some directors at International Justice Mission (IJM). His post gives an excellent look at why we at HireAHelper find it so important, when browsing through the list of non-profits to support, to get behind what IJM is doing. So we decided to reblog it here. Check-out the full content on his blog. This weekend, I learned something fundamental and important about the plight of the global poor. I learned that for most of the global poor, they live in a world without the rule of law. What this means, quite simply, is that they live in a world where crimes committed against them go systematically unpunished. In fact, because their status in society is so low, crimes committed against the poor may not even be considered crimes at all, despite their patent illegality. Even worse, it is not uncommon for crimes to be committed against them by the very institutions we would expect to protect them – law enforcement (read more…) Share this:FacebookTwitterMorePinterestRedditStumbleUponDiggEmailPrintLike this:LikeBe the first to like this post.

Hi! Just watched “The Social Network” and loved it! …….Didn’t pay attention before but Now I know how Facebook really started! …..
Its good to know that Mark is still the major shareholder of Facebook! BUT I stil think that Eduardo should have fought harder for the next major share holder position- that is next to or almost same position as Mark! …….. Good work! Mark Eduardo!

In the presence of territorial monopoly governments, law cannot rule. The (if lucky, popular) government arrogates to itself a right to make legislation which overrides the interests of justice.

Note that the first amendment to the U.S. constitution is a prohibition on passing certain laws.

Viewed clearly, democracy has evolved into a renunciation of majoritarianism (the first amendment implies the majority may be crazy). However, we have the opportunity to use elements of design, as well as processes of evolution, in achieving a social order in which we can take pride.

Please ponder this: “We hold it to be self-evident”
Nice rhetoric. Even if the rhetoricist held it to be self-evident that every surface which is red all over, is simultaneously green all over, I cannot disprove that he holds it to be so.

In 2012, we can certainly come up with a less shaky foundation for social order.

A Private Law Society, as proposed by Hans-Hermann Hoppe, has a solid foundation, and will most likely replace democracy in the long run.

So why waste energy on an obsolescent system?
