    RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS

    Doing something unsolicited for someone who appreciates it immensely is one of those feelings that is hard to exceed in life.

    If you get that look of awe, and a handshake or hug in exchange, it’s all the return that’s necessary.

    A lot of things people care about (a new, or even ‘newer’ battery for a car, or a set of tires, or a very-used-iPhone to replace an ordinary cell) are things some of us don’t care about at all.

    So, if you are searching for hugs and handshakes in exchange for making a major difference in the l lives of others – at little cost and effort, and you don’t see opportunities all around you, then you’re not in an environment where there exists a double-coincidence of wants.

    The only people who are ‘not good’ in this world are the self righteous. Make life more hell for them at every opportunity. (Marxists)

    Otherwise the vast majority of people in the world are pretty good – often misguided, misinformed, ignorant or superstitious.

    Its worth treating them that way.

    Don,

    How does one know when he has transitioned from conscious incompetence to unconscious competence?

    If the mirror always lies, them we can always outwit the mirror. 😉

    (Slowly returning to the land of the living after brief visit to flu-land. Very happy about the excitement in the secession community right now. Hoping and Praying that the local tragedy produces positive externalities.)

    UNIVERSAL TRUTHS

    The adorably silly way women walk with freshly painted toenails. In every culture I’ve seen. From heel-walking to elaborate tissue paper rituals.

    Like aliens. Only better. 🙂

    CULTURAL OBSERVATIONS: BAGPIPES

    Its…. just out of place. Bagpipes in Kiev? Or, do I not know something about bagpipes?

    Someone in the neighborhood has been kicking it up on the street for the past hour.

Venice can now escape.”—

    —“[The] average American IQ will decline from 98 to 95 by mid-century. This may seem a small drop, but it will have dire effects for elites, because the percentage of Americans with an IQ of at least 120 will fall from 7.1 to 4.8.”— Lynn

    I think the magic number is actually 106. At that point you have a moral, thinking human being capable of handling abstractions, and repairing machinery. If you can’t keep 20% of your population over 106, then you cannot have a high trust society.

    That’s my working thesis
