WEALTH CREATES OPPORTUNITY TO PURSUE BIASES.
The presumption that people would converge was wrong. Instead, when given license, people specialized (diverge).

Due to The Pro Dysgenics, Movement, We Are Now Trapped
October 17th, 2018 12:50 PM [D]URING AGRARIANISM … … Humans were valuable for labor. During urbanization, labor and food were valuable for markets. Markets were valuable for Taxation. Taxation was valuable for producing a calculative class. A calculative class made possible greater scale of cooperation, greater returns, and greater survivability against competitors. During the industrial era, we moved people from subsistence production on farms, to industrial production in factories. During the post industrial era, we spread technologies of production, law (cooperation), accounting (measurement), money (incentives) around the world, adding people to the labor pool and producing consumer goods for lower and lower prices in TIME spent to pay for them. THAT ERA IS OVER At present we are entering the era where extra people that can be replaced by machines are nothing but a burden on each other, world economy, the political and military market, and the productive and reserve capacity of the planet. Had the eugenicists been successful and the anti-nazi (eugenicists) cult been suppressed, then we would have retained the advantage as have the japanese and Koreans. But due to the anti-eugenicists / pro dysgenics, movement, we are now trapped as is the rest of the world . Unless we alter the status quo.

I MEAN, LARPING IS LARPING IS LARPING…
What’s the difference between the people who dress up as fictional characters, or visit medieval festivals, or haunt dance clubs, and people who imitate jesus instead of Achilles, Alexander, Aristotle, or Odin?
There isn’t any.
I mean, tolkien created, quite purposefully, what was very close to a religious system using our old gods, rather than the semitic gods. He knew exactly what he was doing.
I can get plenty of wisdom from “What would Gandalf do?” or ‘What would Bilbo Do?’.
I just get more wisdom out of what would Achilles (Excellence, heroism, sacrifice, tragedy), Zeno (philosophy), Aristotle(science), Aurelius (politics), or Alexander (War) do ?
The problem is, those are all ARISTOCRATS, or middle classes, and what should those that lack agency and ability do? They were slaves in the ancient world.
We freed them, because freemen are cheaper to rule, and return a higher profit than slaves and serfs, and they want a narrative for those who are less able.
Failing to produce it, they chose marxism (labor), postmodernism (academy/intellectuals/state), and Feminism ( women).
What can we give those people that they can face their status class and social, reproductive, economic, and political lack of market value?
Lies and false promises, or truth, goods, and services?

THE NEW YORK TIMES ON THE NPC MEME (Edited) -What is an NPC?- NPC means “nonplay
THE NEW YORK TIMES ON THE NPC MEME
(Edited)
-What is an NPC?-
NPC means “nonplayable character” or “nonplayer character.” It’s a term, borrowed from the world of video games, for a character that is controlled by the computer rather than by a player. An NPC often advances the game’s plot by saying scripted lines, or assisting the playable characters in some way.
-What does this have to do with politics?-
Several months ago, users on 4chan and Reddit, started using the term NPC to refer to liberals. Liberals, they said, join the anti-Trump crowd not because they are led by independent thought or conscience to oppose President Trump’s policies, but because they’re brainwashed sheep who have been conditioned to parrot left-wing orthodoxy, in the manner of a scripted character.
A Reddit user, explains the appeal of the meme: “NPCs are completely dependent on their programming, and can’t do or think on their own.”
–Is there more to the NPC meme?–
Sort of. There is NPC Wojak — a crudely drawn, gray cartoon avatar with a pointy nose and a blank face. NPC Wojak is a variation of Wojak, an old cartoon (also known as “feels guy”) that represents the mindless liberal, and has become a kind of collective mascot for the far-right commenters online, to use to ridicule the left.
—And this is a thing … why?—
A group of young, extremely pro-Trump internet trolls have spent the past several years mocking anti-Trump people as whiny, easily triggered snowflakes who are primarily motivated by social acceptance rather than by logic and critical thinking.
Many of Mr. Trump’s supporters put their support for him in the language of freethinking rationality and paint the other side as being motivated by blind loyalty and identity politics. (Which is True.)
This NPC meme fits neatly into this narrative and offers Mr. Trump’s online supporters … (Actually it’s not that they’re trump supporters but using Trump to retaliate against social justice warriors: NPC’s) … an easy shorthand way to paint liberals as humorless prudes (‘bots’) who say “Drumpf” because the HBO host John Oliver told them to, who march in protests and put on pink “pussyhats” because they’re the popular things to do, and whose views can’t withstand scrutiny. (Because they’re just scripts.)
And then, when progressives object to a meme that portrays them as unthinking automatons, it becomes another piece of evidence: See? The left can’t take a joke.
— So? —
Mostly, it appears to be a 4chan joke that spiraled into some mild voter suppression. And no, they’re not russian bots.
Sigh.

Again: MBTI vs BIG5/6 vs Moral Foundations vs Gender
October 16th, 2018 10:43 AM AGAIN: MBTI vs BIG5/6 vs MORAL FOUNDATIONS vs GENDER (from elsewhere) In other words, the principle difference between MBTI and Big 5 are (a) the weight it gives to trait expression, and (b) the principle difference in value is that with 100 Questions we can test your IQ within a half a standard deviation, because all components scale evenly, but we cannot test the rest of your personality traits with so few questions because they do NOT scale evenly. Moreover, MBTI is a WORKPLACE and social weighting of traits, while BIG5 is a THERAPEUTIC weighting of traits. These are differences in value rather than differences in measurement. I was not the first person to make this distinction, but I have written extensively on the fact that while MBTI is imprecise, it is the maximum complexity of a model that individuals can work with in the workplace. We can measure all sorts of trait expression, and even the big 5 FACTORS must be broken down into TRAITS in order to accommodate the difference in factor expression between the GENDERS. STATISTICAL DIFFERENCES: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10156661592707264&set=a.10156479504747264&type=3&size=850%2C370 In this sense MBTI is a better judge of the GENDER biases inherent in cognitive and emotional biases because its fairly obvious that the gender distributions are inverted. Whereas this transparency was only visible in BIG5 after division from Factors into Trait Expressions – and that occurred fairly recently (post 2000), as psychology attempted to reform from a pseudoscience to a science when confronted with imaging, genetic, and pharmaceutical science.

Agency Must Be Trained
October 16th, 2018 5:41 PM AGENCY MUST BE TRAINED by Brandon Hayes
[A]gency has to be fostered and trained. We can develop systems to promote it. Having an agency based (propertarian) framework is a great first step. Teach people to view the world in a reciprocal fashion. We teach dogs to be helpful; I can teach even an objectively bad dog to not be a burden.

NPCs? Not So Simple…
October 16th, 2018 5:39 PM NPCs? NOT SO SIMPLE… by Ely Harman
It’s not as simple as “NPC bad!” There are NPCs on our side too. Most conservatives are NPCs. The issue is most people lack the agency (awareness) for self-ownership, sovereignty, enfranchisement, or any number of related, partially overlapping, terms. That doesn’t mean they can’t be good, functional, members of society. It just means they can’t be in charge of it. Making a pretense of putting NPCs in charge (through universal franchise democracy or whatever) is just a sham way of putting whoever can pull their levers (media, academia, etc…) In charge. And that’s simply not worth doing for a variety of complex reasons mostly having to do with issues of accountability or “skin in the game.”
