  • Watching Other Cultures Learn Software

    It was interesting to watch the Russian programmers ‘come online’. The russian mind is particularly suited to programming because it is an individual pursuit, just like the german mind is particularly suited to engineering because it is a collective pursuit. Watching the chinese come online as their native mind is transformed by the process has been interesting. Perhaps most interesting. Their language is a bit of a prison but once given a formal language like math or programming they slowly overcome the hurdle. Japanese programmers are still… well, it’s a good thing they copy americans. The east asian ‘aesthetic’ is extremely childish by anglo-german-french-spanish-italian… I guess all european standards. But the quality of the code is incrementally improving. Not like the russian, which out of the gate, was awesome. But a bit at a time they are getting there. Aristotelianism contains the least delta between mental model and reality. Operationalism, meaning, a formal grammar of aristotelianism simply narrows our chances of error.
  • The irony that the Long House is the Ultimate Family home design, and that the C

    The irony that the Long House is the Ultimate Family home design, and that the Courtyard House is the Ultimate Multi-Generational home design, and that the Courtyard Block of ‘interior facing condos’, or exterior facing Town Homes, is the ultimate Multi-Family Intergenerational home design, and we have all been trying to develop farm houses, which were not homes but small businesses; and manor houses, which were medium and large sized businesses, and our aesthetic is for farm houses, and for Manors despite the fact that we no longer have farms, or conduct business from our homes – and in particular, do not have six children per woman, and household servants to assist in training, clothing, and feeding them.

    I’ve been drawing home designs since I was nine (I satisfied my OCD by 3d construction drawings of our many Victorian Homes, and guessing at the internal wood construction. What is scary, even knowing myself now, is that because I was working for my father as a delivery runner, I knew every house in town from memory, and could do the drawings from memory. And I think I have only lost that facility because I simply don’t use it.)

    But it became obvious to me, after living in a courtyard home, that it is the perfect solution to home design. It is not as cheap as two story winter-weather standing homes, but it is infinitely more desirable to live in. Particularly as diversity increases and trust and norms decrease.

    1 – Long house (territorial family)

    2 – Courtyard TownHomes (non-territorial family)

    2 – Courtyard House (intergenerational non-territorial family)

    3 – Courtyard Homes (multiple intergenerational non territorial families.)

  • Why Has There Been So Much Debate Recently About Race And Iq?

    Because only Europeans and East Asians have reduced the size of their underclasses sufficiently to produce advanced civilizations – and even so, the east asians still fell prey to bureaucracy and stagnation in the absence of rule of law(empiricism), markets(empiricism), and science(empiricism) in addition to the chinese predilection for political lying (deny and delay), predilection for lying in order to preserve face, and the endemic familial corruption they still practice, and catastrophic legal system.

    The rest of the planet has not reduced the size of their underclasses.

    The size of your underclass determines group hostile to your race, subrace, cult(religion), tribe, and clan.

    The reason being that behavioral norms are determined by the median of the population.

    We rarely see criticism of the immigration of cognitive elites – all of whom practice some form of aristotelianism(empiricism), and out of necessity, adhere to rule of tort law. (although there are exceptions).

    So westerners have spent thousands of years ridding ourselves of underclass, and downward pressure from the middle classes, the young and the old to fill underclass roles, yet most ‘immigrants’ are from the underclasses, and violate our middle class norms, traditions, values – and worse, they vote for the democrats AGAINST our middle class norms, traditions, and values.

    The left has achieved through underclass immigration and the destruction of the family what it could not achieve through their ideas.

  • Why Do Americans Buy So Many Pick Ups? In Europe, Hardly Anybody Has Them And I Personally Could Not Think Of Much That Cannot Be More Conveniently Transported In A Van Or A Similar Vehicle.

    Um. Overlay the map of the united states on the map of europe.
    Germany and the netherlands are extremely dense places.
    Americans are responsible for more ‘commons’ and more ‘property’ than germans.
    Shops are awfully far away.
    Many of our men are independent businessmen (contractors).
    Many of our people have farms.
    Trucks can ‘go anywhere’, and we have a large country with much inclement weather.
    And honestly, it’s an extremely comfortable ride with high visibility, and once you are comfortable with it – it’s hard to give it up.
    They’re relatively cheap.
    They don’t depreciate as much as cars.
    That’s why.
