Some Word Definitions

"proprietorian".
(Also spelled "proprietarian". Either is acceptable.)
The word comes from "proprietor".
A proprietor is someone who owns (is legal possessor of) a business or other private property.

The proprietorian philosophy centers around ownership – specifically individual ownership and private property. Small businesses (really small businesses) have a number of advantages over large businesses. One focus of this blog is to describe, highlight and promote those advantages or anthropleny.

Here’s another word that could stand a bit of defining –
The word is temporocentrism
The belief in the intrinsic superiority of one time period or era over another, often accompanied by feelings of disdain for other times, periods or eras. Such thinking can lead one to view other times or eras from the perspective of one's own period or to evaluate or judge another time period based on contemporary values.

Occasionally I come across comments like, “The pilgrims should have thanked the Indians on Thanksgiving instead of God.”

Such comments are, in my experience, too often made without any attempt to understand why the pilgrims thought the way they did. Instead, contemporary values are imposed on people who probably saw things differently 400 years ago. Judgements made in such cases must, by their nature, be cloudy or just plain wrong.

Temporocentric thinking can lead not only to wrong interpretation, but re-writing history as well. Sometimes history is re-written to provide support for some current issue – a kind of an Orwellian thing. But more likely, re-writings come from failure to understand the thinking of the period due to time or money constraints or even due to laziness. Temporocentricity seems to be very popular among Hollywood writers just now.

Avoidance of temporocentrism is crucial to understanding why things are the way they are - and that is crucial to understanding the value of propritorianism.
