(FB 1547908841 Timestamp) REITERATING MY POINT: IT”S CLASS (Sensitive topic warning. For Friends Only.) We “white folks” have our own derogatory class names for each other – and lots of them. The “forbidden word” for our ex-slave community members is the equivalent of what we white folks call our fellow ‘trailer-tr-sh’. Similarly, if you look up all the pejorative names for different racial groups, you can divide them into classes (I would do it here but it would be banned.) The point being, that our complaints are mostly that of class and difference in group behavior at the lower end, and the similarity of class behavior at the upper end. I mean, at island 120 you start getting close, and by 140, as long as you’re an aristotelian not a theist, people around the world are pretty much the same, because they are far less dependent on imitation and consensus and far more so on falsification, knowledge, and reason. Now, they still tend to follow their own signals, so what is good and traditional to a group remains the same. But it is possible to cooperate fairly easily at the top – which is where the cooperation occurs: on behalf of the people who are not at the top.

(FB 1548088235 Timestamp) We need more ‘Russian’, ’cause our women have tried to make the commons too infantilized, and their women want it more masculine. Watch a video of rural russia. Watch women work the fields. Then see the photos of them going to church: beautiful. Someone posted a russian quote yesterday, which I’ll roughly translate as “What to a russian is but interesting entertainment, to a german is deadly dangerous.” Russians have the BEST sayings. lol.

(FB 1548174235 Timestamp) THE HURDLE WE MUST OVERCOME You see, you think people have agency. That the rider dominates the elephant. But I undrestand very clearly, that developing agency depends on the biological ability to do so, the market demand to do so, and the discipline to do so. So I see the elephant as a very simple machine, and the rider (consciousness) as a tool with which the elephant identifies opportunities, negotiates cooperation and executes conflict. In other words I see all we think and do as JUSTIFYING the elephant. And that very,very few of us are fully human and able to transcend the elephant. And that propertarianism is a means, like stoicism, like mathematics, of transcending the elephant – or rather COMPLETING THE TRANSCENDENCE OF MAN. It is only really becoming clear to me that the time I spent on artificial intelligence – realizing that at the time it was a dead end – is the enormous advantage that I have over my philosophical contemporaries. And it is the reason that Searle and Hayek have been so ‘right’, and why I hope to make people understand that Turing, Chomsky’s application of turing, Popper and the operationalists were so close. All learning is continuous recursion. Epistemology and neurology are the same subject.

(FB 1548262235 Timestamp) —“Much of leftism is about projection and subversion. Leftist beta soyboys are very much lacking in the sack, and their women know it. Also, women tend to badmouth one’s sexual status and performance when disagreed with, especially if they can deceive themselves about it (over the internet, everyone is an incel). The other reason is that it’s a cheap shot, literally below the belt, which makes a right-winger pause with shock in what ought be a serious discussion of policy.”— Nikola Dzhilvidzhiev
