    NEW VIDEO IN THE WORKS : OUR PLACE IN HUMAN HISTORY

    Getting the impulse to make a new video. A bit of a headache today. Maybe I need Don Finn to help me with this one. So that means a trip to Tallinn. I want to talk about how dependent the success of the west was on hard and soft eugenics, and how women have caused us to overturn it in the past century. And how the 1965 immigration law has been used to reverse 4000 years of western evolution. Why the white lower and middle classes are uprising (the loss of elites, the loss of privileges from their elites) And what we must do about it.

    We are mankind’s only aristocracy. It is not just our families and tribes, not just our race, not just our civilization, but mankind that hangs in the balance.

    Without us, there is no truth.

    SMALL WORLD ILLUSTRATED

    Breakfast. Restaurant. L’viv.

    American voices. One Irish voice.

    I recognize it.

    I watch. Uncanny resemblance?

    I search for recent photo. Can’t find one.

    Wait for opportunity, approach, say “excuse me…”

    And he immediately recognizes me and stands.

    He worked for me in the early 90’s.

    He has spent ten years in Australia.

    He works in Singapore.

    His wife’s sister lives in Kiev.

    They’re here for the holidays.

    We caught up. Beautiful man.

    Love him. Good wife.

    Nice families.

    Some disproportionate number of tech people in Seattle have worked for me or know me. So I suppose it shouldn’t be a surprise. But it is. And then others touch you somehow, and you just love them for who they are.

    I would never be really good at ‘bumping’.

    Everyone suspects me immediately.

    I stand out too much. Probably my directness.

    Just met my first american diplomat in a while.

    So obvious.

    Now I would prefer we didn’t ‘build networks’ for the world. But if you’re going to do something extraordinary at least don’t fail.

  • WHY ARE WOMEN’S COMMODITIES OFTEN MORE EXPENSIVE THAN MEN’S (HINT: WASTE) Market

    WHY ARE WOMEN’S COMMODITIES OFTEN MORE EXPENSIVE THAN MEN’S (HINT: WASTE)

    Marketing and Advertising tend to reflect fictions not truths. Prices tend to reflect truths not fictions. For counter-intuitive price differences, find a way for human behavior to explain why a given price is true. (This is operationalism, or what we call incentives.)

    Women display higher sensitivity when selecting purchases. There are evolutionary reasons for women doing so. Men display lower sensitivity when selecting purchases . There are evolutionary reasons for men to do so. In all products that cater to women companies require greater variation in product lines. Fashion in particular. And in all product lines companies experience greater losses. Ergo, women’s products are more price-perishable.

    The fact that it’s difficult to sell to women, yet women dispose of most income, creates a lottery effect. Much of this lottery effect encourages entry into the market for women’s products. Women benefit from this lottery, both in discounts on goods and on greater variety of goods. Suiting their greater discretion.

    If you speak the truth, then there is no difference between scientist, philosopher and prophet. If you do not speak the truth then there is a great difference between them.

    Morning. Restaurant. Window seat.

    Couple. 40-ish. Sitting opposite one another.

    One hand for coffee.

    One hand across the table.

    Gently holding one another’s.

    It’s not new romance.

    It’s too relaxed. Too familiar.

    It’s love that has stayed fresh through good maintenance.

    Love it. Beautiful. It made my morning.

    Humans are awesome creatures.

    TARRANTINO’s HATEFUL EIGHT AND THE HIERARCHY OF FILM SCRIPTS

    Plot: “Clue”, but with comic book levels of violence, and Mythic rather than realistic characters.

    He’s excellent at use of the articulate inner voice – cunning things we wish we could say, but never would. He puts yoda in our underclasses to give them voice – whereas otherwise they would be uninteresting. Just as we love to see middle class people in lower class roles, he gives us articulate near-poets from the upper classes in lower class roles. And he does it with skilled actors.

    There are many virtues of using mythic characters rather than close-up technique of the james-dean/marlon-brando and american method actors. I’m certainly a fan of myth. Possibly because its easier to understand. Possibly because I don’t have to suspend disbelief because I’m aware it’s a stage play from which I can satisfy moral need.

    HIERARCHY OF FILM SCRIPTS (THE GOLDEN MEAN IN FILM)

    Free Association – detached from order and meaning – Film school stuff etc.

    Fantasy – detached from reality – detaches us from reality – daydreaming.

    Myth – moral engagement

    Drama – emotional engagement and entertainment

    Illustration – what passes for literary illustration of the human condition.

    Documentary – what passes for unbiased reporting – awareness

    Raw Footage – Security camera video.
