It’s turning into a weekly thing but it’s time once again to reiterate my position on biases.
I don’t do racism. I definitely do classism and eugenics – but not racism.
I definitely do truth and and morality and therefore culturism.
I put my people first. Just as I put myself and my family first.
I want to defend my kin and our civilization.
I want to resist the lesser people’s doing damage to us.
But it is my ambition to raise all people into transcendence.
And the Christian soul has no room for hate and idleness where it can be replaced by paternalism and hard work.
We are aristocracy.
We must raise mankind into transcendence.
To do raise mankind into transcendence we must look at the evidence, and have the courage to rule.

Anglo – Hindu defeats China. Hindu vs China vs Anglo Limits China.
Anglo – German economy will always be superior to China.
Russia with either push southward and unite with or conquer the byzantine/islamic nations (good) or slowly be reduced to irrelevance.
China correctly understands the threat of islam and we are – as usual – wrong.
As far as I can tell the world has only one problem: islamic civilization lacks a modern, responsible, core state. and that Cannot be Iran even if she is the most likely current candidate despite our efforts at modernizing turkey – it is impossible to modernize peasant islamists.

TRANSLATING CHINESE “If we possess a reserve currency, and maintain the military
TRANSLATING CHINESE
“If we possess a reserve currency, and maintain the military means of defending it and our trade routes, then we can capture the premium on trafficking contracts, exchanges, and their negotiations currently captured by the British/American financial and trade route system – and by doing so may cause a drastic reduction in the USA’s ability to finance it’s system, provide competition to that trade system, provide one that is not as meritocratic but more suitable to our needs, and cause a significant drop in the american standard of living such that we restore our ancestral position as first-nation in the world.”

INFORMATION VS KNOWLEDGE VS UNDERSTANDING
Some predictions require information (facts within the context).
Some predictions require knowledge (of operations and processes)
Some predictions require understanding (of deterministic relations and limits)
Most predictions requires all of the above.
The difficulty of a prediction is the inverse of the information, knowledge and understanding available, times the volatility (limits) in our understanding.
Taleb’s interesting question is whether we can somehow quantify this ratio.
Which I intuit is possible but assume we need vastly more precise data than we have today.

(I’m kind of a fan of the tomahawk-axe and knife thing for unarmored fighting. Especially if you’re willing to take a hit. Not lanky enough to play long sword games. I’d have to get in close in war. So Spear + Long-Knife + Axe. Then for getting accosted by groups you need a cutlass – which the world uses under the name ‘machete’ today. And for duels a Rapier. I trained in fencing for a year. It was fun. But it requires a stage. In the field there are no rules but mercy. I want to get in close and brawl. 🙂 Honest disclosure: I prefer found objects: ceramic coffee cups and dinner knives. Plausible deniability. lol )
