    CAUTIOUS OUTREACH

    I’m interested in input from atheist ex muslims who have STEM or economics/finance education, and whose profile pages I can feel confident approving as friends. I have a pretty good network in the spanish speaking world. I’m building a good network in africa of people I can count on for advice and insight. I hope to reach out to china this year but that’s going to be ‘bloody’ I think.

    I have recently lost a few people in the islamic world because while I have already worked through judaism and christianity, I am now working through islam – or rather, the arab conquest, and I”m losing people to my criticisms just as I lost christians and jews working through their ‘abrahamic nonsense’.

    The problem is that while jews and christians have passed through the enlightenment and while christians have completed their counter-revolution against it, and jews are just ending their counter-revolution against it, the muslims are deep in the midst of it, and do not have a clear vision of their future once that history has been historicized (converted to history and science). So while I do find people in Turkey fairly frequently, I seem to have trouble finding ethnic persians and arabs.

    It takes a great deal of moral courage and intellectual honesty to overcome the deceptions that began thousands of years ago, and to acknowledge the horrible consequences that each of our cultures have put upon the world because of these falsehoods, as well as because of the profitability of conquest and empire. So the number of people that I can work with is limited to the extremely intellectually brave and honest.

    So I’m going to remind people the very DISCIPLINED way in which I work. I work via-negativa. I make arguments to undermine every assumption we hold dear, so that I can find the few ideas that are ‘good’ underneath them, and the counter intuitive ideas that produce negative externalities, and the outright falsehoods that produce constant damage to every human generation.

    And again, it is not easy to do this in the first place, and it is not comfortable. And it takes a certain kind of person to follow me on this journey.

    In the end my opinion is this: the primary difference between groups of homo-sapiens-sapiens is in the sizes of our underclasses, and the achievements of the far ends of the west and the east are due to our ability to reduce the relative sizes of our underclasses, while this hasn’t been equally possible in other parts of the world.

    Or in very simple terms, If we all speak ‘aristotelian’ then anyone capable of speaking aristotelian ‘science’ is compatible. The problem is there is a threshold by which we can speak ‘aristotelian’. The underclass is a dead weight and always has been.

    In this sense, all of our peoples can transcend (evolve) in to the gods we once admired.

  • We Had Broken Their Code. That’s Why.

    —“We didn’t have better generals than the Germans. We didn’t have better NCO’s than the Germans either… What we did have was the fact that we had broken the Nazi code. After that, knowing what the great German generals were going to do next made our generals’ decisions rather easy. We knew when and where the German convoys were going to be, and proceeded to sink them. For contrast, look at the Battle of the Bulge…. Late 1944, Germany was lost….but maintaining radio silence and thereby not giving away their plan, they managed to launch a massive counterattack against the Allies in the Ardennes. It nearly worked, except that the German tanks ran out of fuel. Without the advantage of deciphered German messages, our generals were no match against the German High Command. Over in the Pacific, the battle of Midway wasn’t won by superior US strategy from our Admirals. It was won by breaking the Japanese code and realizing the next attack would be on the tiny island of Midway. Without that advantage, that battle would probably have been lost. Sure our soldiers still had to fight the battles and win, but it helps to be on top of the hill shooting down at your enemy rather than the other way around. So the foreknowledge of knowing where to be and when to be there, was instrumental in many an Allied victory.”—

  • Fascism Won. Let’s Be Honest. Fascism Won the Competition

    FASCISM WON. LET’S BE HONEST. FASCISM WON THE COMPETITION Correct.1. Fascism and Nationalism have emerged as the optimum political order for modernization – meaning, a strong monopoly government that forbids competition, and that operates primarily in the national interest (creating wealth) by the production commons that produce returns, has and will always and everywhere succeed at modernization. 2. The 20th century experiment with socialism (government control production distribution and trade) had been a failure – everywhere. And in most cases has lost the ‘window of opportunity’ for rapid growth. 3. The 20th century ‘threat’ that peoples must (a) respect borders, and (b) adopt consumer capitalism, has been a success. 4. The 20th century experiment with democracy has been a failure because it only serves to distribute windfalls due to technology or conquest in an already-advanced (meaning middle class) civilization. 5. The outlier is Iran’s attempt to restore the caliphate from the mediterranean to india, under a regressive theocratic (kleptocratic) system of rule. The Kingdoms (which are probably the optimum government) have finally lost fear of the expansion of fundamentalism and communism and are slowly reorganizing to suit both modernity and their demographics. 6. The dirty secret of the 20th century is that the western ambition of an aristocracy of everyone has failed, because each society is limited by the size of its underclasses, and while the northern europeans have all but eradicated theirs through manorialism and upward redistribution of reproduction, the rest of the world other than perhaps the han/korean/japanese still is heavily burdened by underclasses that lack not only education, knowledge, experience, and traditions, but the *ability* to process information necessary for political decision making – and are just pawns of malcontents the world over.

  • Cautious Outreach to Atheist Ex Muslims

    CAUTIOUS OUTREACH I’m interested in input from atheist ex muslims who have STEM or economics/finance education, and whose profile pages I can feel confident approving as friends. I have a pretty good network in the spanish speaking world. I’m building a good network in africa of people I can count on for advice and insight. I hope to reach out to china this year but that’s going to be ‘bloody’ I think. I have recently lost a few people in the islamic world because while I have already worked through judaism and christianity, I am now working through islam – or rather, the arab conquest, and I”m losing people to my criticisms just as I lost christians and jews working through their ‘abrahamic nonsense’. The problem is that while jews and christians have passed through the enlightenment and while christians have completed their counter-revolution against it, and jews are just ending their counter-revolution against it, the muslims are deep in the midst of it, and do not have a clear vision of their future once that history has been historicized (converted to history and science). So while I do find people in Turkey fairly frequently, I seem to have trouble finding ethnic persians and arabs. It takes a great deal of moral courage and intellectual honesty to overcome the deceptions that began thousands of years ago, and to acknowledge the horrible consequences that each of our cultures have put upon the world because of these falsehoods, as well as because of the profitability of conquest and empire. So the number of people that I can work with is limited to the extremely intellectually brave and honest. So I’m going to remind people the very DISCIPLINED way in which I work. I work via-negativa. I make arguments to undermine every assumption we hold dear, so that I can find the few ideas that are ‘good’ underneath them, and the counter intuitive ideas that produce negative externalities, and the outright falsehoods that produce constant damage to every human generation. And again, it is not easy to do this in the first place, and it is not comfortable. And it takes a certain kind of person to follow me on this journey. In the end my opinion is this: the primary difference between groups of homo-sapiens-sapiens is in the sizes of our underclasses, and the achievements of the far ends of the west and the east are due to our ability to reduce the relative sizes of our underclasses, while this hasn’t been equally possible in other parts of the world. Or in very simple terms, If we all speak ‘aristotelian’ then anyone capable of speaking aristotelian ‘science’ is compatible. The problem is there is a threshold by which we can speak ‘aristotelian’. The underclass is a dead weight and always has been. In this sense, all of our peoples can transcend (evolve) in to the gods we once admired.
