    Again, studying medieval and ancient world’s wear and tear, we trade the health, fitness and INJURIES of hunter gatherers for the wear, and tear, of agrarianism and manual labor. Physical labor, poor bodily maintenance, and lack of social membership are recipes for pain. https://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/1214495398229946368

    WHERE DO TRADITIONS AND NORMS ORIGINATE?

    Every group has a competitive (evolutionary) strategy at its formation. We develop narratives (excuses) and rules to persist that strategy, while maintaining some form of reciprocity. Once entrenched these are almost impossible to change.

    There are a limited number of properties to these strategies. I haven’t disambiguated them yet, but at the general level they’re the nature of the world, the nature of man, the ‘right’ organization of the hierarchies to conduct and persist that strategy, and ‘right action’ within it. The norms and language vary according to the stage of development and long term demands.

    These rules allow us to habituate, predict, and calculate our actions giving us the perception of the constancy of the universe by minimizing the complexity of our cognitive costs.

    We are superpredators after all, and it’s amazing that we can cooperate in such vast numbers.

    Americans do not feel need to deny an Honor culture their ‘honor’. They are not Western. These things are as important to them as Truth is to us. We can undrestand honor (face before truth) much more easily than they can understand our truth before face.

    I DON”T COMPLAIN ABOUT RACES.

    (re: arabs)

    I don’t complain about races. There are no problem with races. There are only problems with ideas, ideologies, philosophies, theologies, cultures, traditions, laws, and government … and demographic distributions (excess size of underclasses in poor countries mean it is not possible to structure pareto distributions economically, create rule of law, middle class majorities.)

    For the Arabs, islam was necessary to stop the horrible corruption of the tribal leaders. Unfortunately it became an excuse for expansion which destroyed many more developed civilizations.

    If Persians had been successful and the turks not invaded and destroyed persian restoration of the middle east, all would have been fine.

    But the persians could not recover. and the byzantines were finally defeated. And the middle east could not escape ignorance and superstition.

    Arabs use face before truth. This is very hard to change.

    Face before truth, ignorance, and obsession with islam, and externalization of internal conflict is the problem. Time will care for it if we do not have a world war to prevent another empire from rising.

    WHAT’S WRONG WITH IRELAND?

    —“David Robles Hey Curt, what can you tell us about IRELAND? Also I love propertar-ianism have read so much about it could you add me?”—

    Added.

    Depends on what context you’re asking about.

    I dunno what P can tell us but I think the discussion on Ireland has been going on for more than two centuries, and irish were discussed in the same terms as we cast subsaharan africans – and there is no mystery there. It was a third world country not that long ago. And having other people to blame for their condition just gives them an excuse for doing nothing. (Note that I hired irish on purpose ’cause it’s fixable outside of the home environment.)

    WHAT’S WRONG?

    (a) don’t run your population up to 14ppl for acre on the only crop that can support that many

    (b) don’t lose your upper classes to emigration. Ergo, dunno what real IQ is but it has been substantially lower than the european average for a very long time.Ireland went over the cliff (97) which is where the USA is today. 95 is a hard cliff. Ireland is below it.

    (c ) mandate monogamy rather than serial marriage as early in your development as possible. Irish maintained serial marriage until the 1800s.

    (d) neuter the church expand literacy as early as possible

    (e) ruthlessly prosecute virtue-signalers, and corruption no matter how useful it is to you or your family.

    (f) don’t get dependent on handouts from the EU

    (g) if you’re a small country you have limited choices and that’s to imitate either Switzerland (money) or Germany (quality) our tourism (cleanliness, service, discipline). Who does ireland imitate? India. Yep. India. “It’s not my responsibility but its my right to complain”

    (h) countries with nothing going for them try to be different from their neighbors by out-virtue-signaling rather than out-competing (Ireland vs Britain, Canada vs USA, everyone vs Germany). Ireland should be imitating Germany Switzerland and England not trying to be different – that must means losing even more than they’ve been losing. Man up, work, compete.

    (i) petty criminality is ‘acceptable’ behavior (‘knicking’ stuff) instead of ruthlessly punished. You know what the broken window strategy is? Well, Ireland needs it.

    (j) talk about freedom an such but they sure act like they need a freaking brutal dictator to discipline into working and competing for a living.

    (g) Don’t blame others for failing anything above this list. It’s the man in the mirror.

    (h) oh, well the wind is a pain in the ass. I agree…. 😉

    Same sh–t I say all the time in ukraine: “man up, gear up, and go punish laziness, free riding, virtue signaling, and corruption until there is no one else to beat the p–ss out of, because students, mothers, workers, clerks, mangers, bankers, police, judges, bureaucrats, and politicians are terrified that they’ll be taken to court of the people with a noose if they do.”

    Politicians don’t solve problems.

    The people do.

    By intolerance.

    Summary by a blogger from a few years ago:

    —“Ireland is no longer a country. It has no soul, no truth, no justice, no equality, no decorum, no morals, no code, no honour, no creed. It is a perverse, twisted and sinister land where right is wrong and wrong is right. The courts are packed to the rafters with criminal trials and civil law suits, while white-collar criminals walk free and the small debt defaulter gets a prison cell.

    It is a wild land where rules go flying out the window at a moment’s notice. Elections mean nothing whether people want them or not and are nothing but a next-in-line party system irrespective of suitability. The old guard are there while the system rots and rots from bureaucracy, inertia and rhetoric.

    Parties claiming they can do a better job in trying to oust the other, but only hiding behind prepared departmental rhetoric and defending what should be prosecuted when in government. A land where the terrorist, bomber, murderer, or recidivist gets early release and victims get kicked in the teeth for their trouble and forgotten about quickly. Laws are lax or unenforced and nothing but a book of politics and convenience to set the guilty free.

    Our people have being enslaved by a sick and supine system of government and Church, under a corrupt waiting-list system, which has done more to divide people than unite them.

    It is a disgraceful country where government abrogates its responsibilities and careerist politicians laugh at the electorate when they collect their enormous undeserved pensions and perks.

    A society which does not give a damn and chronically indifferent and self-serving in the extreme. An abode where mé féiners will kick you when you are down and begrudge you when you are up. A culture of fear, repression, ignorance, jealousy and one-upmanship.

    It is a regime of incessant work for the connected, cronied and nepotised who ironically have no life and no disposable income who end up marooned under a mountain of debt for their life’s toil – while thousands are hidden on ineffective job initiatives.

    An expensive country where money management is impossible and taxes are progressive.

    This country is a load of trouble from beginning to its failed revolutionary end and will end up at the bottom of the bottomless pit.

    There is nothing in Ireland for people only a load of trouble”—

    THE GRAMMARS OF CIVILIZATIONS

    Europeans Develop Competition-law, Reason, Realism, Naturalism, Empiricism, Technology-Science, Geometry.

    CALCULATION

    Chinese Develop Bureaucracy-rule, Reason-lite-Wisdom Literature, Realism, Naturalism, Technology but not science, and Arithmetic. They settle on Reason and Bureaucracy.

    REASON

    Indians Develop Class Roles, Political Reason, Supernaturalism, Mythicism, Pragmatism, limited technology, arithmetic and positional names. That this is the remnant of a military order is lost in time. The indians settle on “the Way” – wisdom literature.

    REASONABLENESS

    Iranians-Persians Develop the optimum human, Hierarchy instead of Castes and Roles. But are seduced by babylon and their own aryan religion. The are ruined by the muslims and despite, like the Germans, rising out of it, descend once again and they can’t get out of it now (similar to how the west is being brought down again by Judaism and islam).

    IDEALS

    The Egyptians Run with Animism and Archtetypes and Myth and it’s beautiful. They try a single dominant god but the priests wisely reverse it.

  • RATES OF REPRODUCTION Family members in USA and Canada. from 1500’s onward. Comm

    RATES OF REPRODUCTION

    Family members in USA and Canada. from 1500’s onward.

    Common eight, ten, twelve children. Almost universal.

    Common to lose a wife in childbirth and have two.

    Birthrate Lasts through civil war, industrial revolution. Then drops to six then to four, then three, now to two or even one.

    Almost universally husband and wife 5 years apart.

    Very common for english protestant men to marry french protestant then french catholic women. (disagreeableness an obedience)

    But very class driven.

    Both sides of family start out military. Paternal stays military. As usual, middle ranks.

    Prosecution of French proceeded that of Irish.

    English tended to be more middle class, french more lower classes.

    Both sides of the family originate in normandy, Dolietta’s going to England with the norman conquest, but then to the states, and the french left to Newfoundland, New Brunswick, or the Quebec settlements on the St Laurence river. After the french lose, 1M french move to the states.

    Poor French women were ‘russian brides’ of New France (Quebec). I only see one or two of those. All colonies were private entrepreneurial ventures, not state funded until they became strategic. Families were recruited. Men recruited, and when necessary, women (wives) recruited. The farther north the more likely they were to return to europe upon fulfillment of their contract. This is important since we don’t think of mothering and running a household as a career, but a woman’s choice was to be some other house-owning woman’s servant, or to get her own house, and so it was almost always preferable to have your own house, husband, and children to assist in the labor of running a household and farm.

    My family’s ‘legendary’ prosecution of the catholics in every way possible is somewhat funny since a lot of the maternal line is french, and a lot of it is clearly catholic, and at least one of my maternal great-x grandmothers was prohibited from practice of her religion upon marriage.

    No ‘irish’ until my paternal grandmother’s era, but they were pre-famine colonists, all from the east of Ireland, and it was three or four generations after integration.

    The men in my family are all over the middle class – probably because they’ve been literate since at least the 900s – military, reverends, lawyers, craftsmen, businessmen, fewer “ordinary” farmers, but even artists. The english tradition was farming in farm season and craftsmanship in off season, and warfare during the warring (high testosterone) summer months.

    All new englanders are inbred. Seriously. Until the Irish and Italians everyone was somehow related. 😉

    I love my NE people. they’re political ass clowns. But I love them anyway. And they make good business people and soldiers. They just need a monarchy to keep from virtue signaling themselves to death.
