  • Help Them Be All They Can Be

    —“If you are trying to a convince a woman of something, you will be better off talking to a wall. Both will not listen or take your advice but at least the wall won’t argue with you.” — Old Adage. Um. My advice is different. (a) You cannot compel women to do much of anything other than ‘fit in’, ‘signal’, and ‘advance her offspring’. (b) You can only say ‘no’ to what will negatively affect you, or that you cannot afford, or that you are unable to do. In other words, argue possibility with women not preference or good. Otherwise you are attacking her intuition not her reason. A woman’s intuition (impulse) is not only unavoidable but her identity. If you argue against it then you are in fact criticizing HER, not the idea. Ergo, avoid doing so. My philosophy with women is to help them be all they can be, just like we should our children. And to leave decisions to them that do not REQUIRE a ‘no’ from you (man) because it is inter-temporally dangerous, economically, or physically costly for you.

  • Fruitful vs Fruitless Education

    by Steve Pender There is nothing wrong with education – just fruitless education. And fruitful Work is also education. Fruitless education makes children costly. Whereas in past eras, they would do productive work on farms or business as early teens, now they’re learning how to do haiku and other pointless shit well into their 20s. They’re still burdens to parents at 25 in many cases. The result is a net disincentive to have more kids, – the results of which you can observe everywhere in society.

  • They Captured the Narrative – We Can Recapture It

    —“Hitler didn’t “set out” to conquer Europe, but given the perpetually accelerating pace of the Bolshevik threat to Europe, he set out to defend Europe from Bolshevism.”– Jimmy Wood We were wrong. He was right. And the narrative has been captured by Bolshevism v2 (Democratic Socialism) and v3 (Postmodernism) to continue to destroy western civilization by the same means the ancient civilizations were destroyed: cults with false promises – and this time, pseudoscientific cults with false promises.

  • What a Proper Education System Looks Like

    WHAT A PROPER EDUCATION SYSTEM LOOKS LIKE by Luke Weinhagen We’ve found a model that seem to be working really well. A local education organization hires teachers, subject matter experts, tutors, instructors etc… to run classes two days a week. Parents select from the available courses and build a curricula specific to their child, including the child in those decisions where appropriate. The kids attend physical class for as much or as little of those two days as the selected subjects require, and are in those classes with peers. Adult supervision is on hand for gaps between classes and these gaps provide additional time to study and socialize. The rest of the week is self and/or parent guided study (depending on assignment load). These non-classroom days provide a great deal of productive and practical application opportunities to get your kids involved in running the home and/or businesses you may be active in. The teaching staff will provide feedback to the parents, who determine things such as evaluations of progress. Parents are also required to participate in the form of volunteer hours. The organization offers group field trips and outings. Really builds a community around the delivery of education. By contrast the public education systems looks like a commons so poorly tended it has gone feral.

  • Kids need to participate in a hierarchy.

    MATCHES ALL THE RESEARCH: Kids need to participate in a hierarchy. by Greg Hamilton Socialization with adults and different aged kids (even sitting). This is critical and one big reason the scouts was important. Kids need to lead and follow and to be able to move around in the hierarchy. In standard schooling they are around their own age group and thats very unnatural and its not good for them. It also sticks you in a “position” possibly for life.
