    THE ALTERNATIVE TO INTEGRATION IS DECAY
    I spent five years with, was engaged to, and nearly married a woman of color with her children of color. (Illness broke me and the relationship. She was awesome.) It bothered me that if I walked into a restaurant in my rather (very) affluent city we were treated differently than I had been with my Scandinavian wife. I don’t really want anyone to feel like that. But then, stereotypes are the most accurate measure in social science. To change a stereotype we have to change enough of the behavior of the group that a new stereotype develops. And that requires full integration. Remember we used to treat Irish worst of all. (And partly for good reason at the time.)
    (BTW: did you notice seattle just added caste discrimination to the anti-discrimination laws, because of the huge indian population that’s moved in to be employed by Microsoft et al?)

  • You are speaking with great confidence about a thing I know a great deal about.

    You are speaking with great confidence about a thing I know a great deal about.
    1) civilizational and cultural differences are in fact due to neotenic evolution, demographic composition (genetic distribution), climate, available resources, number of competitors, difference in advancement of competitors, the means of formation of the military caste, and the subsequent relation between the upper(martial) and lower(agrarian) classes.
    2) Subsequently there are three means of human coercion. There is one institution that evolves to specialize in each means of coercion. the sequence of institutional formation determines the priority of institutions. The surviving civilizations differ largely in the order of the evolution of institutions.
    3) Subsequently cultures develop a group evolutionary strategy, a metaphysical set of presumptions about the world because of that strategy, a set of myths, histories, traditions, values, and a ‘custom’ means of argument (philosophy etc) with a custom method of logic (better or worse) to defend it, and a vast set of habits for the intergenerational transmission of all of the above.
    4) As you would suspect, norms, traditions, values, rituals, and institutions reflect the average of the demographic distribution. Thus African four family systems, semitic superstition and religion, hindu ‘culture as religion substitute’, sinic Confucianism et al, and western law and philosophy. This is because each generation (race) of man as it migrated from the East Afircan rift valley, speciated by a half to a full standard deviation in IQ (neotenic evolution) producing different class sizes, and difficulty in suppressing the lower classes in the absence of cold weather, proximity living, and the stresses of farming.
    5) If you mean people can’t integrate, the Irish who were considered equal to Africans as late as the. mid 19th have integrated, and so have (mostly) the germanic Italians. Any individual who is of middle class or higher who attempts to integrate appears to be capable of it over three generations. If you mean people from sub 90IQ populations who are least adaptable, and have the most entrenched culture, especially religion, cannot seem to integrate successfully unless deprived of their communities so that they must, then that is correct. If you mean that people with IQ’s below the threshold of industrial society (about 85) can’t ever integrate because they lack the agency and competency to adopt the high stress of ‘whiteness’, then that’s true.
    6) But it’s not that people can’t integrate. it’s that it’s harder for some and easier for others, and when people move en masse they can bring their culture with them. And without suppression of that culture and integration into ours they remain a costly problem that degrades social trust and limit rule of law, high-trust commons, and participatory government. Then that’s true. In other words, 140IQ Nigerian or Ghanian businessmen, or Egyptian engineers, or south pacific nurses, all of whom are hyper successful minorities fit in better than south eastern european Muslim whites.

    Fixing our culture is easy.
    Fixing our policies is easy.
    Fixing our demographics is easy.
    I’ve done the work reforming law, constitution, and policy.
    The problem is getting it implemented.
    That’s not going to happen without “showing up in numbers and demanding it.”

    The founders told us how.
    And that’s the only way it’s going to happen.

    (racism)
    As much as my right wing followers would prefer I take their position, the truth is, that sure I like my people, I prefer my people, because I like their reserved culture and behavior and the extraordinary consequences of it. But anyone who can adapt to those (admittedly challenging) standards is fine with me. This whole marxist-pomo-woke hate-fest is depressing and exhausting. I’m done with it. I think a lot of us are done with it.

    (If you counter-signal, you’re a bad person, and I’ll just block you.)

    THE 5 FOUNDATIONS OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION
    Western civ emerged on the steppe with the voluntary alliances of families of warriors and their cattle. This is the origin of democracy, rule of law, and western reason and empiricism:

    0) SOVEREIGNTY: the prohibition on authority, and the requirement for concurrency of warriors, families, and clans.

    1) NATURAL LAW: Tort. Given sovereignty, the requirement for voluntary reciprocity, and the prohibition on the imposition of costs against individual demonstrated interests (costs).

    2) NATURAL RIGHTS, OBLIGATIONS & INALIENATIONS: Enumerating those rights that are necessary to preserve Natural Law,

    3) COMMONALITY: the common law: empirical evidence of consistency in the resolution of disputes.

    4) CURRENCY: Concurrency of local population (house) and concurrency of the states (senate) for legislation, and concurrency of the population of the states for the presidency (the electoral college). The system was designed to prevent ‘activist’ legislation by any group, requiring consent (via empirical test of concurrency). In other words, no group may dominate any other group. All groups must agree: the must “concurrently concur” for legislation to pass.

    The common law, the constitution, the branches of government, are designed intentionally to prevent anything and everything from being enacted that creates authority, deprives people of sovereignty, and the demand for concurrency (ascent) across all the classes, populations, and states.

    This is the only possible means of preserving rule of law by the natural law that preserves individual sovereignty, natural law, natural rights, and consent.

    Concurrency requires all groups to agree. Had we added women to the franchise as their own group as we had the classes before them we might have prevented the use of women as the vector for hostilities between sexes, classes and races.

    If you don’t understand this then:
    (a) your education failed you
    (b) you probably have no business stating an opinion
    (c) because if you counter these requirements, you are aggressing against others, and … under Natural Law, (the science of cooperation) they will retaliate against you as the ‘outlaw’ you are.

    Why?
    … 1) Why don’t people commit suic***de?
    … 2) Why don’t people kill one another and take their stuff.
    … 3) Why don’t groups of people kill one another and take their stuff?
    Answer:
    …1) The opportunity for persistence (opportunity).
    …2) The opportunity for the gains of cooperation.
    …3) The gains of CONTINUOUS peaceful voluntary reciprocal cooperation in production are greater than MOMENTARY predation and consumption, and the risk of doing so.
    If someone violates the criteria for peaceful voluntary cooperation, then 3,2, and 1, no longer apply.
    And therefore the reason NOT to k*** you and yours and take your(individual and collective) stuff no longer applies.
    The left tends to extend the mother-child parasitic relationship to the polity against volition of members of the polity. The right prohibits the extension of the mother-child parasitic relationship to themselves. In other words, the feminine intuition interprets the individual clans and families (packs) as a collective (herd) of necessity rather than alliance of family and clan utility.
    This competition between the feminine hyperconsumptive utopian and masculine hypercapitalizing empirical, produces opportunity for cooperation. And only voluntary reciprocal cooperation preserves it.
    In this sense, the Abrahamic sequence of supernatural religions and the Marxist sequence of pseudoscientific religions in this era are attempts to violate the natural law, and incentivize civil war by doing so.
    Why? No criminal who justifies his or her crimes ever stops his or her criminal pursuits, unless the costs of such criminality is raised by the threat of retaliation for those crimes.

    There is your lesson in the constitution and the reason for western civilization’s disproportionate success.
    -Cheers

    Western civ emerged on the steppe with the voluntary alliances of families of warriers and their cattle. This is the origin of democracy, rule of law, and western reason and empiricism: the prohibition on authority, and the requirement for concurrency.
    1) NATURAL LAW: Tort. Individual sovereignty, requirements for reciprocity, and the prohibition on the imposition of costs against individual demonstrated interests (interests in the legal sense as costs paid for something.)

    Also: There is some bias in Germanic Tribes (ALl european post-indo-european (italic, germanic, Scandinavian, balto-slavic) tribes, toward not necessarily universalism, but tolerance toward others, because they were marginally indifferent. As far as I know the proto germanic term for others is ‘brothers’, not ‘aliens’. Whereas the middle east, constantly the subject of tribal competition and waves of conquering tribes from all directions, DID produce the concept of ‘others’.

    AFAIK, universalism was a product of Jewish Christian introgression into the empire, because it’s absolutely not present in pre-christian European thought. Just the opposite. Pre-Christian European thought is elitist as h***ll. Common folk and barbarians are to be domesticated like all other animals. Hence the possibility of working upward from slave to freeman to citizen.

    You err.
    We taught reason. Empiricism. Science. Natural Law.
    Everyone else stagnated and declined by 800ad.
    Only Europeans recovered from the age of rebellion against reason: the religions of the primitive world.
