    —“While I might understand what he says it makes me realize how under educated I am and how much more I need to learn.”— Vinny Vidivicci

    Just one note. (a) You were deprived of education purposefully, to make you ignorant, and pliable for the authoritarian ‘Self Anointed’ left. (b) We learned a great deal from the experiments of the 20th century and only now are synthesizing our understanding of it. (c) That understanding is contentious because between women and immigrants we are the minority trying to preserve empirical, nomocratic (rule of law), market, meritocratic civilization. (d) In a division of perception, cognition, memory, labor, negotiation, and advocacy, some of us can specialize in ‘synthesis’ so that others can ‘consume’ our intellectual product. I have a gift, and have been successful enough in business to devote the vast majority of my time to this effort – so you don’t have to. Just as whatever you do, means I don’t have to do it. And this is why ‘nomocratic, market, meritocratic’ civilization works to provide such disproportionate returns – as long as we are truthful, dutiful, and reciprocal with one another.

    -hugs brother.

    Bill, you seem to have had a sort of … awakening-to-the-resignation of late. And it seemed to bother you. But what I detect is the end of the last vestiges of optimism? belief in others? Acceptance of the need for “Parenting”? I mean I can see it in your ‘clarity’. Is that something you are ready to sort of talk about yet? Or are you still working through it?

  • The False Promise of Universalism vs … Eugenics

    October 10th, 2018 9:50 AM

    —“Could we come up with a better term than ‘tribalism’ please?”— Marginal Revolution

    OMG….. How about we use operational (scientific language) instead of postmodern (pseudoscientific language)? I mean, is economics a science or a pseudoscience? The world doesn’t need more sophisms. |PACK| Family > Kin > Clan > Tribe > Nation > Civilization > Race = Markets for signals, values, frames, norms, traditions, Laws, Institutions, and group evolutionary strategies REGULATED by the natural law of reciprocity (international law, trade policy ameliorating differences in purchasing power), producing universal EUGENIC reproduction. –versus– |HERD| Individual > Corporation > Universalism = NO MARKETS for signals, values, frames, norms, traditions, Laws, Institutions, and group evolutionary strategies REGULATED by the natural law of reciprocity (international law), instead involuntary transfers between groups producing UNIVERSAL DYSGENIC REPRODUCTION. Economics if anything consists of the full accounting of costs. NOT THE CHERRY PICKING OF RETURNS INDEPENDENT OF COSTS. I don’t make mistakes such as these. The reason is that I don’t engage in cherry-picking (Pseudoscience) Justificationism (sophism) and Postmodern (denial and deceit) “empty verbalism” for the purpose of producing frames that perpetuate the frauds of involuntary transfer, and the spread of dysgenia. Simple facts: those groups that practiced eugenic reproduction under manorialism (east and west) succeeded precisely because of those eugenics, and those that did not, and still do not, are those that struggle. And those that were sold the false promise of universalism whether in the ancient world (the Abrahamic Dark Age and the destruction of all great civilizations of the ancient world), and in the Modern world (marxist-libertarian-postmodern-feminist destruction of the modern world) but lacked the reserve capital (europe, east asia), were sufficiently distracted by the false promise of pseudoscientific sophism, that they have missed the window for using the industrial and technological revolution to organize their societies for eugenic middle class reproduction. Reductive Explanation: The HERD (Universalist) doesn’t know it’s a HERD, but the PACK (Nationalist) knows it’s a pack, and the herd a herd. Selective use of economics to justify an instinct is just pseudoscience. Either you engage in full accounting or you don’t.
