    As Butch mentioned above, (I just saw this post tonight, on March 1st) I’m increasingly confident that what accounts for the west consistently competing faster than ‘the rest’ is sovereignty, and its requirement for deflationary truth, and everything else results from it. The question is, why does it appear that westerners to have had this rather aristotelian bias “realism” or “military epistemology” even into prehistory? The only explanation that fits consists of a small number of related traits: (a) the lack of clannishness that seems to be a predisposition of near-arctic peoples everywhere in the upper hemisphere, (b) the long term use of metallurgy outside of the authoritarian mysticism necessary to organize irrigation in the river valleys, and (c) the battle tactics of raiders who family-financed bronze, horse, and wheel: beginning with voluntary membership in the ‘venture’, selection of leaders (generals), contractual adherence to promised battle plans even at risk of death, contractual distribution of proceeds from battle, and the merciless demands of military epistemology – a discipline we still practice in basic training today: testimony.

    CULTURAL OBSERVATIONS

    Hippy Trendy University Coffee Shop

    34? year old, tall, attractive, fit brunette, very low crazy factor. Must have military experience. Speaks clearly and professionally and with confidence.

    Talking to a man about how she has asked a male friend to order a shotgun for her closet.

    The man she is speaking to is going into as much unnecessary and irrelevant detail about the irrelevant differences between shotguns as most women speak of the irrelevant differences between experiences.

    I love us humans. We’re all insane.

    CULUTRAL OBSERVATIONS

    “Trendy” Coffee Shops. Chatter.

    Central Connecticut: Construction.

    Seattle: Careers (tech and medicine)

    San Francisco: Opinions.

    Kiev: Opportunities.

    L’viv: Friends and Family

    That’s the content. But what’s the structure? How other people don’t do what you want them to. How the world would be better if they did. Wishful statements of emotional or status credit and debt. And little else. “Please help me feel my signal accounts are higher than I assess them to be.”

    Content reflects how well people know each other. Higher signaling in higher anonymity (search algorithm). Higher trust confirmation in low anonymity (preservation algorithm)

  • Our first wave settled all the way to the northern limits and developed a copper

    Our first wave settled all the way to the northern limits and developed a copper civilization across europe – including our monumental stone henge.

    And we rested.

    Our second wave created a bronze civilization in central europe, and advanced all of europe by doing so.

    And we rested.

    Our third wave out of the Ukraine combined horse, wheel, bronze, and aristocracy to conquered the world from Spain to china and then slowly drag humanity out of ignorance, superstition, poverty, disease, dysgenic reproduction, and tyranny.

    And then we rested.

    Then we dragged the mediterranean world out of ignorance superstition, poverty, dysgenic reproduction, and tyranny.

    And then we rested.

    Then we dragged the european world out of ignorance, and superstition, physical labor, poverty, and disease.

    And we did not rest.

    Then we dragged the rest of the world out of ignorance superstition, poverty, dysgenic reproduction, and tyranny.

    And we cannot rest.

    We are never first. We are always fastest. Most innovative. And best.

    When we do not rest.

    Who masters lying?

    The Chinese lie the most – and poorly.

    The Steppe people a bit less – but a bit better.

    The Semites – arab and jew – lie the best and with consistency.

    The British lie the most politely

    The French are just uncooperative and hostile, not liars.

    The Germans don’t lie they walk away from liars.

    The Americans don’t lie so much as believe nonsense things, and punish the hell out of liars.

    You wanna know the real problem between the american state and the Russian? Americans prosecute liars, and Russians rebel against utopians by lying.

  • The absolute nuclear family only survives under special conditions: when all men

    The absolute nuclear family only survives under special conditions: when all men are in the militia, all families are culturally homogenous and near kin, there is little migration. In other words, it evolved under the middle class version of farming: manorialism, and the middle class version of farms: producing excess for market sale, and the middle class marketplace that results from the production of excess for market sale.

    The nuclear family and government pensions are a very, very, very destructive cancer.

  • The beneficial consequence of manorialism and the family farm under manorialism,

    The beneficial consequence of manorialism and the family farm under manorialism, is that not only did it eugenically suppress the underclasses, but it prohibited the concentration of wealth and power that was available to the river valley civilizations.
