  • do we fight racism?”—- You can’t. You can simply avoid the problem. All that hap

    https://www.quora.com/How-do-we-fight-racism—-”How do we fight racism?”—-

    You can’t. You can simply avoid the problem. All that happens in mixed race cultures, is that castes replace races. I can’t find anywhere any attempt has worked and hasn’t resulted in the total collapse of the civilization. When you increase the size of the polity you get classes.

    Sorry.

    That’s how it is for the simple reason that some people are more genetically desirable in every way than other peoples, and that’s what social class means: reproductive, associative, cooperative, economically cooperative, politically cooperative, militarily cooperative desirability. Each of us has a social market value and that social market value is what we call our class. We have higher sexual and social market value within group than across group except at the extremes. The desirability of different subraces is well documented, and is determined by ratio-proportionality and degree of neoteny.

    The only way to avoid the problem is to** segregate within states, or separate into separate states.**

    The science behind this reality is quite simple:

    1 – Races and Subraces have different sized underclasses and **different distributions** around the mean in the personality traits that are genetically determined and largely immutable: a) intelligence, b) industriousness, and in rates of sexual development and depths of sexual development, and the retention of those features that illustrate retention of childhood features. (we have been domesticated just like other animals. We are no different. Some groups are more domesticated (lower testosterone, lower impulsivity, lower and slower sexual development, and therefore greater agency (self discipline of our emotions and impulses).

    2 – Because of these differences **we need to produce VERY different commons** (manners, ethics, morals, norms, traditions, laws, institutions, education and training in the intuitionistic [what we call religion], in physical training, and in skills training, and in occupational training.) The median (average) (66% majority) determines the demand for formal and informal institutions (listed below).

    3 – **Proximity Creates Animosity **because of the different status signals in and across groups, and the different rates of development both genetically, informatively, and culturally. Groups that are happy with their condition separately become hostile in proximity, and more hostile in cohabitation, and more hostile in political competition. This is true everywhere on earth.

    4 – Because of these differences we need **very different political orders** – from the very liberal northern European high trust, to the very disciplined as we see in religious regions, to the nearly military needed in others.

    I could go on but the end is the end: Trying to eliminate races always and everywhere produces a **race to the bottom**. Creating many small nation states that are little more than corporations that serve the needs of their kin group and that kin group’s distribution will produce a** race to the top**.

    There is a very good reason why Europe evolved faster than the rest of the world combined in both the ancient and modern worlds: small homogeneous states. **Monopolies are always bad**. They are even worse in federations and empires.

    China is the interesting exception since the Han slowly conquer and integrate near neighbors, and are currently in the process of doing so to the remaining border nations. The Han are the largest ethnic group in the world. And they conquer and ‘make disappear’ every group possible. The Indians, who were (at least in what is today’s Pakistan) one of the oldest civilizations, were not able to progress – we don’t understand why yet but probably demographics. The Chinese stagnated despite good demographics. The Arabs destroyed every great civilization of the ancient world (North African, Egyptian, Levantine, Mesopotamian, Persian, Byzantine, (and as a consequence Roman by raids and slave taking) and ended by 1200, with the remains of their empire was only preserved by the new population of Turks who were forced out of china’s territories – but even the Turks declined rather quickly, and the middle east is still in the 7th century in most ways. South Americans are falling behind again. East Africa was on the cusp of development when the Europeans arrived and pitted the emerging civilizations against each other.

    **Races** are a good thing. **Subraces** are a good thing. **Tribes** are a good thing. **Clans** are a good thing. **Families** are a good thing. You can choose between kingroup-states, or Corporate States. You can choose between small very different states, or large homogeneous states. You can choose between collapse under political monopoly, or rapid progress under political diversity. Because in the spectrum from dictatorship to anglo rule of law you must possess an increasingly optimum demographic as you move from dictatorship to liberty.

    **The only value of scale is military conquest**.

    The value of homogeneity is psychological, not real.

    The effect of diversity in a polity that has access to political power is always the same: collapse.

    The best countries to live in have **small homogeneous populations** with very **small underclasses**, high median **intelligence**, and well developed **neoteny**, without hostile **competitors** on their borders.Updated Aug 29, 2018, 11:11 AM

  • (a) island/naval societies are more liberal – they can afford to be. (b) the USA

    (a) island/naval societies are more liberal – they can afford to be.
    (b) the USA is a very large island with only mexico and canada as border-competitors.
    (c) the oceans make us feel more secure than other countries.
    (d) No longer are we protected militarily by those oceans.

    More evidence lately that the Saan people of South Africa have the oldest continuous genome.

    Saan are lighter skinned. I am sure it will play out in the future data, that we got BOTH lighter and darker as climate and disease resistance warranted.

    It is very easy to see asian and pacific features in the Saan. In other words, we use caucasoid, mongoloid, australoid, and negroid, all appear to fork from the Saan’s original genome, with caucasoids being the outlier, and northern europeans being the most outlying.

    Under certain circumstances we get bigger and taller east-west africa. And Under certain we get smaller and shorter (pygmys, the lost people of island east asia) and intelligence does decrease with cranial size – contrary to the (((fantasies))) of Gould.

    We do not always evolve but also devolve. Because autraloids have not only lost technology they previously held, but it appears that they have lost cognitive parity with their ancestors (I think we will be able to measure that by the middle of this century.)

  • Compare Hammurabi (semitic) to The Hittites (europeans)

      Code Of Nesilim: Ancient Laws Of The Hittites As many other great ancient civilizations, the Hittites had laws that regulated various aspects of their vast empire. Written somewhere from 1650-1500 BC, the Code of Nesilim was a document that stated ancient laws of the Hittites. One of its most significant topics concerned the treatment of slaves. The Hittites ruled the central Anatolian kingdom of Hatti from c. 1900 – 800 BCE. They formed the earliest known Anatolian civilization and employed an advanced system of government based on an established legal system. Their military was well trained, well equipped, and employed chariots that were the lightest and fastest of their time. The Hittites created Hattusha, the capital of the kingdom, located in Turkey. The Hittite empire reached its height during the mid-14th century BC when it encompassed an area that included most of Asia Minor. After 1180 B.C. the empire came to an end during the Bronze Age collapse. Several independent Neo-Hittite city-states were established and some of them survived until the 8th century BC. The Hittite laws have been preserved on a number of Hittite cuneiform tablets found at Hattusa (CTH 291-292, listing 200 laws). Copies have been found written in Old Hittite as well as in Middle and Late Hittite, indicating that they had validity throughout the duration of the Hittite Empire (ca. 1650–1100 BCE).

Image via wikipedia The Code of Nesilim reveals much about the social structure of the society. Compared to the Code of Hammurabi, where death was the punishment for the majority of the offenses described the punishments stated in the Code of Nesilim were not very severe. Some laws in the Code of Nesilim were rather unusual according to modern standards. For example, if a man raped a woman outdoors, he was sentenced to death. However, if the rape happened at home, it was deemed to be the fault of the woman and she was sentenced to die. 1. If anyone slay a man or woman in a quarrel, he shall bring this one. He shall also give four persons, either men or women, he shall let them go to his home. 2. If anyone slay a male or female slave in a quarrel, he shall bring this one and give two persons,either men or women, he shall let them go to his home. 3.

But if he recover, hes hall give him six half-shekels of silver. And to the physician this one shall also give the fee. 17. If anyone cause a free woman to miscarry, if it be the tenth month, he shall give ten half-shekelsof silver, if it be the fifth month, he shall give five half-shekels of silver. 18. If anyone cause a female slave to miscarry, if it be the tenth month, he shall give five half-shekels of silver. 20. If any man of Hatti steal a Nesian slave and lead him here to the land of Hatti, and his master discover him, he shall give him twelve half-shekels of silver, he shall let it go to his home. 21. If anyone steal a slave of a Luwian from the land of Luwia, and lead him here to the land of Hatti, and his master discover him, he shall take his slave only. 24. If a male or female slave run away, he at whose hearth his master finds him or her, shall give fifty half-shekels of silver a year. 31.

If a slave take a woman as his wife, their case is the same. The majority of the children to the wife and one child to the slave. 33. If a slave take a female slave their case is the same. The majority of children to the female slave and one child to the slave. 34. If a slave convey the bride price to a free son and take him as husband for his daughter, nobody dare surrender him to slavery. 36. If a slave convey the bride price to a free son and take him as husband for his daughter, nobody dare surrender him to slavery. 40. If a soldier disappear, and a vassal arise and the vassal say, AThis is my military holding, but this other one is my tenancy, @ and lay hands upon the fields of the soldier, he may both hold the military holding and perform the tenancy duties. If he refuse the military service, then he forfeits the vacant fields of the soldier. The men of the village shall cultivate them. If the king give a captive, they shall give the fields to him, and he becomes a soldier. 98. If a free man set a house ablaze, he shall build the house, again. And whatever is inside the house, be it a man, an ox, or a sheep that perishes, nothing of these he need compensate. 99. If a slave set a house ablaze, his master shall compensate for him.

If a woman go for wages in the harvest, for two months he shall give twelve pecks of barley. 159. If anyone harness a yoke of oxen, his wages are one-half peck of barley. 160. If a smith make a copper box, his wages are one hundred pecks of barley. He who makes a copper dish of two-pound weight, his wages are one peck of emmer. 164. If anyone come for borrowing, then make a quarrel and throw down either bread or wine jug, then he shall give one sheep, ten loaves, and one jug of beer. Then he cleanses his house by the offering. Not until the year has elapsed may he salute again the other’s house. 170. If a free man kill a serpent and speak the name of another, he shall give one pound of silver; if a slave, this one shall die. 173.

If anyone buy an artisan’s apprentice, buy either a potter, a smith, a carpenter, a leatherworker, a tailor, a weaver, or a lace-maker, he shall give ten half-shekels. 178. A plow-ox costs fifteen half-shekels of silver, a bull costs ten half-shekels of silver, a great cow costs seven half-shekels of silver, a sheep one half-shekel of silver, a draft horse twenty half-shekels of silver, a mule one pound of silver, a horse fourteen half-shekels of silver. 181-182.

If a man have taken a free woman, then have intercourse also with her daughter, it is a capital crime, he shall die. If he have taken her daughter, then have intercourse with her mother or her sister, it is a capital crime, he shall die. 197.

Yet, the Code of Nesilim was surprisingly fair, allowing slaves to marry whomever they wanted, to buy property, to open businesses, and to purchase their freedom. Under the Code of Nesilim, slaves were not treated as human chattel, or property that could be used and abused by their masters however they saw fit. They had a limited number of rights that guaranteed them a level of dignity and protection.

    By Tom McSweeny The aristocrats come to understand that the world contains mechanisms of action between its elements AND that those mechanisms of action can be exploited. The masses, through lack of ability, ignorance and as victims of deceit see meanings and mysterious ways. Management: Improve the quality of the parent > improve the quality of the parenting > improve the quality of the children. As we’ve seen recently, the parents are self-destructing (heads of states with no kids, mass expansion of underclass, importation of foreign underclass, genetic terrorism against their own, perpetuating ignorance regarding how the world works) and the parenting has gone seriously awry. The children suffer. The Law stands above all classes and is upheld by eugenic classes for their mutual benefit and survival intergenerationally. Higher standards of parenting must be enforced for gains all around through time. At present, the village shaman is in a lot of trouble for his short-sighted advices. We’re back to blacksmiths from earlier: the aristocrat organises the exploitation of every available avenue of the relationship between every element in the world for return on investment for kith and kin. Discovering and exploiting those mechanisms of action, we have our prized shamans, magicians, our blacksmiths, our discoverers, advisors to the king, explaining how the damn thing (the world) works. Our kings lived and died with our people by how well they could map and exploit the world and its elements. The totality of it, when you think about how we started with casting bones to the many technical, replicable fields that have been mapped out, tested, engineered, combined, is truly staggering. Beautifully, marvellously staggering. And you, we, have our ancestors to thank for that. From bones to spaceships. We come from a proud culture and it has every right to be such. Now the onus on us, the heroic challenge, can we, will we, be able to say ‘See me Odin’ (Watch this (gran)dad’)? What you’ve done Curt, is bring together those who want to say Fuck yes. Thanks Daniel and Curt.

    By Tom McSweeny The aristocrats come to understand that the world contains mechanisms of action between its elements AND that those mechanisms of action can be exploited. The masses, through lack of ability, ignorance and as victims of deceit see meanings and mysterious ways. Management: Improve the quality of the parent > improve the quality of the parenting > improve the quality of the children. As we’ve seen recently, the parents are self-destructing (heads of states with no kids, mass expansion of underclass, importation of foreign underclass, genetic terrorism against their own, perpetuating ignorance regarding how the world works) and the parenting has gone seriously awry. The children suffer. The Law stands above all classes and is upheld by eugenic classes for their mutual benefit and survival intergenerationally. Higher standards of parenting must be enforced for gains all around through time. At present, the village shaman is in a lot of trouble for his short-sighted advices.

  • Magic, Indo-Europeans and The Taming of The Masses

    by Daniel Gurpide (awesome) From an anthropological perspective, traditional magic practices were perfectly adequate to a certain level of development. In this sense, ‘authentic’ magic aims at clarifying a psycho-technique (self-discipline) with a specific goal in mind; it guides man into the appropriate form for a given project. It either prepares man to bear without excessive anxiety the hostile pressures of a universe that he does not yet control, or it helps give free reign to certain instincts and repress others, so that he can accomplish more successfully a certain undertaking. With this type of magic, man had learnt to manipulate himself. He had given himself a self-chosen nature, and had succeeded in his hominisation. Hence, authentic magic constitutes the original ‘know-how’ of human self-domestication, and the domestication of the psyche by consciousness, organised by a science that was born through reflection on the know-how of animal nature. Magic degenerates as soon as it claims to find application to a relation diverse from the one instituted between consciousness and psyche: that is, between man (as living being) and the world (as event), under the wholly imaginary pretext that the human psyche participates in the cause of that event. It then leads to a cosmological theory that is entirely unfounded. On the other hand, where this reflection allows him to isolate the true terms of the ‘magic relation,’ man acquires an exact description of himself and his circumstances, and of the position he occupies within the living world. He transforms himself, from then on, into the domesticator of the living world. Hundreds of thousands of years after hominisation, it was with the Indoeuropean/Neolithic Revolution that another type of man emerges. Having learned what ‘moves’ himself, man tries now to ‘move’ animals and plants according to his wishes and needs. As far as social animals are concerned, he intends to take on a directive role, becoming the leader of the pack. Similarly, having attained a superior consciousness—thanks to the correct understanding of magic—he presents himself as aristocracy in relation to the rest of society and affirms his own sovereignty. With the advent of Indoeuropeans, man’s taming of the living world occurred in parallel to the taming of the mass—by the elite. Hereafter, ‚religion‘ comes to be the ideological system that will serve to ‘tie fast’ society and subject the group to a certain influence. (from Curt: Man began domestication of man, just as he had domesticated Fire, Metal, Plant, and Animal. That is the meaning of aristocracy: parenting (domesticating) the animal (lacking agency) man. )
