    This set of values functioned as the operating principle for western civilization that produced the fastest innovation and adaptation possible by man, and dragged mankind out of ignorance, superstition, hard labor, poverty, starvation, disease, suffering and early death.

    @HanielAzzi @DegenRolf The values of our civlization are four thousand years old, first captured in writing by the Greeks: Excellence and Beauty, Heroism and Duty, Truth and Oath, Sovereignty and Reciprocity, Jury and Law, and resulting markets in everything as the only means of survival: evolution.

    @HanielAzzi @DegenRolf Christianity is the religion of false promise, ignorance, deceit, manipulation, enserfment, poverty, and the dark ages, that asks women, slaves, and the weak, to submit to a false god, of an alien people, who produced nothing except lies, usury, rent seeking, and organized crime.

  • We are the only gods that may yet be. And in the test of civilizations,only west

    We are the only gods that may yet be. And in the test of civilizations,only western man discovered the laws of the universe and adapted their civilization to mirror them. If there were gods, europeans would be the chosen people, aristotle their prophet, and truth their scripture.

    @HanielAzzi @DegenRolf There are no gods, no heaven, no sins. Only myth, evolution, and crimes. Crimes of violating physical, natural, and evolutionary laws, by acts of irreciprocity in display, word,or deed, that resist our evolution into the gods we imagined by truth, science, technology and markets.

  • Just ‘Cause – Truth : Egyptian Origins

    Feb 3, 2020, 1:13 PM by Göran Dahl There’ve been studies alleging that Ramses II Y-haplogroup is E1b1a, which is a typical Middle Eastern paternal marker. His autosomal DNA hasn’t been sequenced, meaning that we can’t compare to him to any ethnicity. As for his hair colour, Wikipedia says it was ginger in his youth according to a French analysis; others say the mummy’s hair was ginger due to the henna Egyptians applied to their hair when it turned gray (used as early as 3400 BC). Ultimately, we can’t be sure until he has been sequenced. And red hair does occur among Middle-Easterners more frequently than most people think. Besides, by his time (New Kingdom), ancient Egyptians resembled Lebanese/Palestinian people, which is made evident by how New Kingdom samples plot on PCAs.

  • Update on Origins

    Feb 3, 2020, 1:44 PM by Goran Dahl The R1b chronologically: Bell Beakers > Single Grave Culture > Corded Ware Culture > Yamnaya (unlikely now) / Sredny Stog 2 > Eastern Hunter-Gatherers > Ancient North Eurasians

    —“Great. Thank you. So the gene flow for Rib is out of Corded ware. But does that change the technology(culture) flow from Yamnaya into Europe?”—Curt Doolittle

    They had more or less the same culture; I mean, genetically they were identical and most definitely spoke the same PIE language. I can’t say anything about potential technological differences. In the end, I’m pretty sure the later descendants of Sredny Stog (Proto-Indo-Iranians) destroyed whatever was left of Yamnaya, absorbing what they could. The Catacomb culture, a descendant of Yamnaya which was heavily influenced by Proto-Indo-Iranians, held a lot of sway over Mycenaean Greece judging by shared material traditions. (CD: thank you!)

  • Define Caucasian (from Quora)

    Feb 4, 2020, 10:18 PM Caucasian is like many terms – as they evolve, we attribute different definitions to them. The term Caucasian was used in the census and was synonymous with white european christian. This evolved into the conventional term for european peoples: latin, germanic, slavic, finnic. Man is a self-domesticated animal. Domestication is achieved by neoteny and suppression of underclass (genetic load) reproduction by sexual selection and environmental selection. The primary difference between races (or subspecies depending upon your tolerance for the truth), is that we vary largely by the degree of neoteny (suppression of maturity) vs increase in rate and depth of matureity, and in adaptation to local climates and more importantly – disease gradients. There are many others including rates of identical twins, variations in cranial size, minor skull and muscle difference, large differences in body scent, variations in the distribution of spatial verbal abilities, succeptibility to certain diseases, and mental illnesses. However, almost all the meaningful(consequential) differences are variations in one trait: neoteny (domestication) – with east asians the least sexually developed, caucasians in the middle, and then Africans the most and fastest sexually developed. Almost all group differences in social cultural, and political order are caused by this variation. The other significant dimension is the size of our genetic loads (lower and underclasses). There is little difference in our global elites across the races. But our conflicts come from proximity to one another given the vastly different sizes of our workingl, lower, and underclasses. For example, when we compare IQ differences between races and subraces, we are comparing differences in the size of the classes. In warm climates genetic load survives, and sexual maturity and rates of reproduction increase – and in cold climates where people live indoors in close quarters for many months of the year, and must organize to maintain animals and food over winters, sexual and natural selection reduce the lower classes rapidly. So given our differences in the rate and depth of sexual maturity, and the difference in the size of our underclasses, this creates groups that display different behavior, and conflict over what acceptable behavior is, and conflict over the commons and institutions we desire. There are three or four surviving races (subspecies): West Eurasian, African, and Asian – and the fourth is the austronesian remainder of early african migrations. West eurasians include everyone who isn’t african, (iranic-dravidian), east asian, or austronesian. Genetically, morphologically/phenotypically, civilizationally, culturally we separate the west eurasian people into post-glacial proto-peoples: the southern branch of north african, semitic (marsh arab, afro-asiatic), the eastern branch: turkic, and the indo-european branch: european, iranic, anatolian (lost), and the iranic branch integrated (lost) in admixture in india. We use ‘Caucasian’ as a synonym for europeans from spain to the urals, an south to the caucuses mountains. However, in practice we use it as synonymous for european christendom, and ‘white’ synonymous with european christendom -excluding the people of the caucuses. Since the greeks, southern italians, and Sardianins are remnants of the anatolian migration we include them as europeans and caucasians. Edit
