    Don’t ask permission. Just ask. It’s my job and I like my job. 😉 Either I’ll answer, or; I’ll answer in the feed bacause others will benefit, or; I’ll direct you to a link on the web site or one of the other guys. or; I’ll tell you I’ll answer when I can because it will take more time than I have at the moment, Or; I’ll tell you its inappropriate for me to answer fight club questions. Or; I’ll ignore it because … lots of reasons.

    4 – Institute is a framework for an ‘oxford’ of western civ.
    5 – Martin will probably surpass me if he keeps with it. We are ‘crossing the chasm’ at the moment, and non-fringe talent is discovering the method – and that’s where the innovation will occur.
    6 – Leaders are emerging.

    @unfinis06265716 1 – I don’t have any problem. Everything is going just as I expect it to – other than the deus ex machina of the virus accelerating the conditions.
    2 – No one replaces philosophers. Others continue to improve on their innovations.
    3 – I learn from every even trivial debate.

    The only organizations that ever prevent calcification are the pre-clinton military, pre-1960 judicial common law, and post 1970 surgical, for the simple reason that people suffer and die if one err’s. European civ’s law and science are an application of military epistemology.

    @EricRWeinstein The persistent strange and perhaps naive inference that institutions are ever credible unless subject to continuous competition, managed by empirical elites, under empirical stress. All evidence is that all human organizations maximize internal rents causing mission failure.

    No. It’s because they don’t stay on the job. They move on. Over time they’ve hired for the sweet spot of 100-105 because the men stay. it’s very expensive and time consuming to train and integrate them. The work is bureaucratic, boring, lots of paperwork, elements of risk.

  • WHAT IS THE ROLE OF BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY IN SOCIETY? (probably very important)

    WHAT IS THE ROLE OF BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY IN SOCIETY?

    (probably very important)

    —“Also do you have any writings you could point me to on your views on big business’ role in society? Namely, I do see cultural marxism and other factors at play throughout university and entertainment, but the pressures from big biz for cheap labor, for mass immigration of more customers etc. as the primary driving force behind our replacement. Does a mixed economy with strong tariffs and other incentives prevent this from happening in the future?”—

    BUSINESS(INDUSTRY):

    1. The production of goods, services and information.

    2. The normalization of middle class behavior (everyone is a potential customer)

    3. The production of the possibility of the self organizing – civil- society.

    Business increases customer base, dependencies and alliances until everyone in the society is a customer, dependency, and alliance

    BIG BUSINESS(INDUSTRY)

    1. The role of big business in society is to provide a durable sustainable revenue stream upon which to base the political revenue necessary for the incremental suppression of parasitism that makes possible the extension of trust and opportunity down into smaller and smaller producers, which in turn produces the middle class ethic which is the source of high trust – that is initiated by the militia.

    (important)

    2. Big businesses are difficult to compete with because they can ‘socialize’ costs of obtaining and holding customer relationships over time. So this ‘stability’ must be thought of as the economic equivalent of the military – defense of the economic territory. So just as the military creates a defensive wall against military conquest, big business creates a defensive wall against economic conquest.

    (Important!)

    3. Obviously big business can afford to pay for research and development. This is a minor role. Because big business cannot compete with the government for basic research. The government performs basic research industry applied research. And Small and Medium Business applies the results of basic research to niche (smaller) markets.

    4 (Limits) The problem evident throughout all of history is that the middle class (Business and industry) has no more incentive to limit it’s consumption of economic opportunity than the citizenry has incentive to limit it’s consumption of human and institutional capital. So this is the important insight of fascism and nationalism: that profit at national expense is a theft of capital: privatization of commons or socialization of losses.

    5. The same applies for the government. The state and finance sectors (and now the academic sector) will happily destroy the genetic human cultural institutional and civilizational capital through immigration and expansion. So this is the limit of all markets, and why free markets are always a fraud: either you are increasing domestic capital or not. If you are not then you are consuming it. And if you are consuming it then you are an uncontrolled growth: a cancer. Whether you are private or public or individual.

    (important!)

    THE ORGANIZATION OF SOCIETY

    Defense (Military, Law)

    … Commons (politics, economics, law)

    … … Production (trade, business, industry, science)

    … … … Consumption (reproduction child care, education, home)

    … … … … Luxury Consumption (celebration, sports, entertainment, signal goods and services)

    … … … … … Destruction (dysgenia, immigration, conversion, crime, drugs, falsehood)

    That’s the net of it.

  • CAREER ADVICE FOR MEN —“As a successful entrepreneur would you mind sharing so

    CAREER ADVICE FOR MEN

    —“As a successful entrepreneur would you mind sharing some career advice with me? Do you advise more of a focus on technical knowledge such as computer science or soft skills and selling?”—

    One lesson for every main in the world:

    -“Every man must learn or trade or else eventually become a scoundrel”– Spinoza.

    Always Always Always Learn a technical trade FIRST. In the most difficult field you can manage. The Trades, Engineering, Sciences, or Law. The source of the training or degree doesn’t matter after the first three years. Just create a record of sticking with a job for two years and then upgrading if you need to. Then after your first four to six years get the best you can. It makes no sense to try for google-facebook-apple unless you are in the top .1%. These are ridiclous outliers. Instead, the world is full of opportunities to master your field.

    The general career progression is Trade > Project Management > Sales > Contracts > Accounting-Finance > Executive > Marketing > Entrepreneur > CEO > Capital Raising > Diversification of Investments > Investor.

    Always, always, always try to follow that path to the best of your ability.

    Get the training you need to get a job. Work hard at learning the job as much as accomplishing it while you are young and have strength and energy.

    Always always always, make sure if you’re in a trade that you have paid off your house before you’re 35. This means it doesn’t matter what happens to your body after 40. Your demand is lower.

    You have clearly never been CEO of a large organization. Why would you think that he’d operate by shallow emotion like you do?

    Trump is pressuring the states, the bureaucracy, and industry by creating a success metric, so that they fail unless they meet it. He’s not asking.
