  • Have We Passed Peak Human?

    PEAK HUMAN? [O]MG. What if we have passed ‘peak human’ already? What if it is not possible to improve upon late hunter-gatherer genetics, and that urbanization has produced increasingly aggressive, less intelligent, more impulsive peoples? What if inbreeding, low IQ, higher aggression, and higher reproduction are a superior evolutionary strategy? Source: Curt Doolittle

    UKRAINE WORD.

    It’s interesting how concerned Ukrainians are about keeping their word.

    It’s a beautiful thing.

    CITIES IN THEMSELVES ARE TEMPORARY SPATIAL INFRASTRUCTURE

    Ever play the computer simulation ‘life’? what happens as the rate increases? Patterns emerge that were previously imperceptible. Cities themselves are temporary infrastructure.

    —-“the U.S consists of old and new cities. New cities such as Las Vegas have less “crumbling infrastructure” because the capital stock was built in the last 30 years. Older cities such as Detroit and Cleveland and even Los Angeles have an older public capital stock (roads, sewer pipes, airports). As more people move to new cities, the old cities have fewer Congressmen representing them and this leads to less pork flowing to such places. Spatial cross-city political economy is an important subfield that political scientists should be working on.”—- ibid

  • Current Western Institutional Trends explained

    [P]rivatization of commons in Western Europe and North America since the 1980s is but a reaction to a rapidly growing heterogeneous society; and a move by those who have*, to prohibit those who can’t**, from fraudulently obtaining rents.

    Similarly, creating compliance processes is making what used to be unnecessary to formulate and to structure, and implicit – knowledge of, and compliance with, core business-affecting legal procedures – explicit, so that the workforce created by heterogenification can either understand it, or be deprived of excuses in case they don’t.
