    MEN’S STYLE

    It’s official. While the height of men’s fashion was the 1950’s in america, and Ralph Lauren and Gucci tend to perpetuate these ideals, the current heart of men’s fashion is actually GERMANY.

    So cool.

    THE PROBLEM OF LONDON : MULTICULTURAL COMMUNICATIONS

    We are staying at a hotel on the Thames, near London bridge. It’s beautiful.

    And it has taken an hour to get coffee and pastries. Now that the tray arrives, it includes two breakfasts that we didn’t order. The Russian delivery man calls the hispanic order taker, and talks to the Turkish cook, and they must speak in pidgin because they cannot really communicate.

    I can’t get my freaking morning coffee because the hotel doesn’t consider facility with language a skill.

    (Cultural observations: V, like many Ukrainians, is really against the use of drugs, to a degree that an american has trouble understanding the agitation of it. It’s right up there with cheating on your spouse, in the ‘very, very, bad’ department of unforgivable sins. I mean, alcohol is everywhere, but even pot is something that is pretty hard to come across. And honestly, they have it right here. I get it. The problem with alcohol is really just cars. As far as I can tell, pot culture is pacifist but more influential on behavior than alcohol-party culture. I just don’t understand why the crutch is so important in the states — wait. Yes I do. Alienation. Loneliness. The dissolution of the family. That’s why. Ukrainians have real friends and family. Westerners rarely have the same.)

    CRITIQUE IS NOT EQUAL TO CRITICISM

    Critique != Criticism — In Criticism the alternative choice must be defended. In critique the alternative choice must be obscured. The purpose of Criticism is to identify truth. The purpose of Critique is obscurantism: complex deception.

    Critique is deception.

    I CRITICIZE ALL CIVILIZATIONS – MY OWN ESPECIALLY.

    0) We are genetically inferior because of our pathological altruism.

    1) We are culturally inferior because we are vulnerable to overloading.

    2) We are reproductively inferior because the absolute nuclear family is fragile.

    3) We adopted the regression of feminism,rather than meritocratic egalitarianism.

    4) We created the error of universalism in the enlightenment.

    5) We were wrong to fight Germany in ww1/2 and ended our germanic civilization.

    6) We used our empire to spread the fallacy of democracy to a non egalitarian world – increasing frictions.

    7) We correctly suppressed communism and now Islamism, but incorrectly supported corporate (state) borders rather than national (tribal) borders.

    I can probably continue expanding this list to at least 25 items.

    OPPORTUNITY COSTS: PROBLEMS VS PUZZLES

    (not to dismiss entertainment, but this is one of my rules)

    Chess is like crack or math – I love it, and I love puzzles. I love it like I would love heroin, or cocaine. But puzzles are not problems. Puzzles eat time, and don’t make money. I learned to enjoy puzzles that make money. And those puzzles have a name: ‘problems’.

    I am not sure that fitness at puzzles assists you in fitness at problems. In fact, I am fairly sure that the answer is no. Since every solved puzzle is a lost opportunity for problem solving, I cant imagine so.

    Wendy McElroy threatens to leave the movement. But I’ll do her one better. I want to de-legitimize it, destroy it, and replace it with one that will succeed. One based upon liberty, not libertinism masquerading as liberty.
