(repeating)
I have never had a board other than one consisting of people who are actively involved in the business, be any value at all. In fact, every single external board member in every company I’ve built or worked for, has been a drag on if not an absolute detriment to the business. Because they nearly always have interests that are in competition with the business.
I use my boards. I seek universal agreement. If I can’t persuade my board, I don’t do it. If I can, that means I should.

THE “I THINKS” OF WHY WE LOST
I think the pill, abortion, ending liability for the interference in a marriage, enacting involuntary marriage (common law marriage, state imposed marrage), no fault divorce, common property, alimony, and child support, especially child support for non-biological children was a catastrophe and there is no escaping it.
I think giving women the vote without giving them a separate lower house of government was a catastrophe because women think speak and act (and vote) against responsibility in everything they do – despite that our civilization’s success is almost entirely cauased by our maximization of individual responsibility in exchange for individual rights. Multi-house government exists to produce and test concurrency between the regions and classes. We neede another house for the sexes. This would create a market for the production of commons that preserved the interests of the minority (productive men in this case) from mob rule (women).
I think introgression of women into the workforce displaced men from the more family-friendly jobs more than added a contribution, and then offshoring male jobs displaced those displaced. Immigration has only exacerbated that problem dramatically.
I think all productivity contributed by women’s addition to the workforce has been consumed by increases in taxation. An I know for certain that it’s destroying our rates of reproduction necessary to maintain benefits and services.
I think we misunderstand our failure to make good use of and prevent bad use of fiat currency, and we tend to throw the baby out with the bathwater. I think the abuse of the pretense of eternal growth to rely on intergenerational redistribution via the benefits system, instead of using the singapore method of saving and investing is the bigger problem. I think interest on consumer purchase of capital like homes and durable goods is a crime. (I’m correct). I think taxation that’ contributed to the general pool and isn’t itemized as expense, debt, and repayment, is a crime.
When I say “I think” It really means “I know”. 😉 I’m just being polite. 😉

Because european civ doesn’t begin with farming and the sedentary cultures, it begins with cattle herding, metalworking, wheel, horse, war, and MANEUVER (ooda loops), producing conquest, expansion, heroism, militarism, sky worshipping … and … get ready “military reporting” or what we call ‘testimony’. Farming is what you conquer the helots to do – so to speak. It is a fundamentally realist not experientialist understanding of the world. So the west begins with realism, naturalism, empiricism(observables), contractualism, and testimony to all. Which is just military reporting, and testimony before the jury, applied to all of life.
And as usual, Rudyard is correct in his observation. The east has had little impact.
Buy the reason the east does what it does is because CONFUCIUS FAILED to solve the problem of politics, and so having failed, he directed the society to the production of a hierarchy of families, and the perception of harmony to preserve it … becuase they failed to produce contract, law, rule of law. The evolution of the east is STATE command first not peer LAW first. The evolution of the west is law first not state first. The evolution of the middle east is religion first, state second and failed state and law. India roughly maintained religion and custom instead of law, and failed at the state. The only way to get to european civ is the same way we did it (by accident). Sovereignty > Reciprocity > Contract (democracy) > Testimony (empirical truth) > aristocracy (meritocracy) > Markets in everything. THereby preserving the trifunctional competition between feminine faith, masculine state, and neutral trade.
I disagree with paradoxes (there aren’t any – really), the world isn’t an illusion – under testimony it’s just measurements using senses as a measure. Under technocracy and military it’s about market-coordinated voluntary actions in groups not invidiual imaginary life to escape the boredom of agrarian life. Family is just the first unit of cultural production. It’s militaries, states, and trade that build societies and civilizations. People who live in mind-world are just the peasants whose lives are dicated by those with ability, capacity, agency, and allies. If you can life in the mind instead of in the world the question is why would you? What incentives cause you to prefer the mind and self generated feelings vs experience of reality and reality generated feelings? (Powerlessness)
ie: nietzche was not quite right. It’s not slave vs master, it’s not even peasant vs aristocracy. It’s feminine vs masculine.

Putin, instead of legislating against the woke mind virus and integrating with the rest of european civilization, is allowing the russian people to ‘be bled to death’ strategically, politically, economically, and demographically.
If he had russia’s interests at heart he would act in the favor the the russian people, not in the favor of his ideology of empire.
RU lacks the population and economy to maintain an empire in the age where empires are gone, and only RU, CN, and IR are trying to preserve or rebuild empires – that they cannot achieve through federation. Because federations require trust and respect. And RU, CN, IR are neigher trustworthy nor respectful of other nations.

I’d have to understand what you mean by ‘never get’ what?
The feminine mind empathizes in time while the masculine systematizes over time.
This produces a concept of individuals vs polities.
The feminine mind will demonstrate the “NAXALT/AXALT” fallacies. It’s the easiest method of identifying sex differences in cognition.
The feminine mind will react against individual pressure to adapt. The masculine mind wont. Because having to think instead of feel requires self regulation, and the feminine mind seek to depend on feeling rather than thinking whenever possible.

BTW
–“Whether measured in people or events, 97 percent of accomplishment in the scientific inventories occurred in Europe and North America” (p. 252). Further, he attributes the bulk of European accomplishment to figures born and raised in the “European core” area (germanic and celtic race). And by his figures, 98 percent of significant figures were male.”–
And;
–“…approximately 72 percent of significant figures in the sciences and arts are of European descent.”— “Human Accomplishment: The Pursuit of Excellence in the Arts and Sciences, 800 B.C. to 1950,” Charles Murray
Samuel Huntington: In “The Clash of Civilizations,” Huntington discusses the role of civilizations in shaping world order, suggesting that Western civilization has had a disproportionate impact on modern political and economic systems.
Niall Ferguson: In books like “Civilization: The West and the Rest,” Ferguson delves into the six “killer apps” that he believes led to Western dominance. While not quantifying innovation per se, he does emphasize the contributions of the West to modern civilization.
Jared Diamond: While not focusing exclusively on Europe or innovation, Diamond’s “Guns, Germs, and Steel” seeks to explain why different civilizations have different levels of development and technological advancement, touching on similar themes as Murray.
Ian Morris: In “Why the West Rules—for Now,” Morris uses a multi-faceted index to measure social development across different civilizations throughout history. His focus is not solely on innovation but includes it as a significant factor.
David Landes: In “The Wealth and Poverty of Nations,” Landes explores why some nations achieve economic success and others do not. He examines the cultural and technological innovations that have contributed to this disparity, particularly emphasizing European contributions.
