  • THREE OF THESE STATEMENTS ARE TRUE (And obvious.) 1) Libertarians(7%) are smarte

    https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-average-intelligence-average-IQ-test-scores-any-calculated-metric-of-the-average-American-conservative/answer/Curt-Doolittle?share=54709e6f&srid=u4QvALL THREE OF THESE STATEMENTS ARE TRUE (And obvious.)

    1) Libertarians(7%) are smarter than Liberals(25%).

    2) Republicans(26%) are smarter than Democrats(29%).

    3) Liberals(25%) are smarter than Conservatives(36%).

    Why? Increases in size of groups regresses to the mean. (Again, obvious). Smaller groups of educated people will test higher than larger groups.

    PROBLEMS WITH ALL SUCH MEASUREMENTS

    1) People, but men in particular, do not mature (in IQ) until 22 (at least).

    2) We have no test of adult IQ, only children.

    3) We tend to use SAT scores as a proxy for IQ. (Good but subset)

    4) We tend to use degrees as a proxy for IQ. (Bad proxy)

    5) We cannot match SAT and Degrees to Political Preference.

    6) We can only survey REPORTED Political Affiliation with REPORTED degree.

    7) The vast majority of degrees are (a) ‘nonsense’ degrees (gut courses) and of those the vast majority are (b) by women.

    8) The vast majority of advanced degrees are equally nonsense degrees (education, etc). And a disproportionate number of men do not pursue degrees since the trades do not require them.

    9) The gender gap is large and ever increasing. Meaning white marrieds, and males against unmarried women of all groups and minorities (who are no longer minorities).

    THE REAL ANSWER IS NOT INTELLIGENCE BUT GENDER

    As far as I know the distributions are relatively normal

    As far as I know gender is a better predictor than intelligence.

    As far as I know the country is entirely red by men’s vote and almost entirely blue by women’s vote.

    For this reason also: democrats and liberals dominate mental illness.

    For this reason also: democrats and liberals report lower happiness.

    —“In your opinion , what are the most salient factors causing such widespread mental illness that we can realistically address ?”—Edgar Braintree

    1) de-socialization,

    2) dissolution of the family.

    3) dissolution of civic society and its institutions.

    4) de-norming of society

    5) school is wasted after 5th grade and counter-correspondent with reality.

    6) lack of physical development and exercise in men.

    7) De-competition of the male experience and therefore the incentives of males to function in society.

    In effect we are making it impossible for people to calculate a ‘fit’.

    UPGRADE CYCLE OF MOVEMENTS

    You know when you’ve been out of college a while and you realize you need to upgrade friends? I mean, they got you to this point, and maybe there is a keeper in there, but you really need to upgrade to people who more share your career, family, or lifestyle?

    Businesses go through a similar cycle, of selling to whomever they can get, to those who others don’t serve well, to those that are mainstream, to depending on their best customers, and if possible they shoot for ferrari-gucci territory of specializing in the pure signal market.

    Movements go through very similar evolutions. You start with the fringe because they’re the extreme novelty seekers. The fringe spreads your message to those seeking to augment their own novelties. Those spread to those seeking ideas. To those that are searching for solutions. To those that want a solution to rally around.

    What we fail to mention is that we must rid ourselves of people who might be a drag on the next market. And this is sometimes painful. Some people cannot follow. Some have followed enough. Some can follow, some drive, and some lead it. And if you are lucky you develop a group that leads it in different directions (I think that’s us) rather than tries to maintain control of it (as did NRx).

    Furthermore, there are people you must very clearly disassociate yourself, your business, or your movement from, because their desires for attention, influence, and control ( or to divide, or undermine ) your ability to gain the next more advantageous market.

    Most of you know how I work – very ‘thoroughly’ – by immersing myself in a subject, tearing it apart, and rebuilding what I can from the few grains of truth I found. I then use established groups as test subjects and attack those ideas – because the very passionate defend them intensely. If you are of a certain mind this can be fascinating to watch. If you are of other minds, this can be upsetting. But it is science at its best: exhaustive reduction to operational language.

    Over the past few days I’ve been working at making some very clear distinctions, and creating some distances. I have very clear reasons for doing this.

    I’ve never considered myself ‘alt right’ because it is synonymous with the use of critique (disapproval, ridicule, shaming, rallying, trolling, propagandizing) and utterly devoid of innovative solutions to the problems we face. Hence why I used ‘New Right’ until others coopted it.

    We have seen the main body of the previous alt right crash and burn since Charlottesville. We have seen the intellectual resistance ‘right’ (or rather then right classical liberals) take over the discourse. But they are just creating a thin veil of resistance against the onslaught of the Cathedral Complex.

    The question I want to answer, is where from here?

    For myself, I want to increase the number and quality people increasingly ‘the ordinary right’. Why?

    There is nothing unpalatable about my work – it’s an innovation on classical liberalism. I don’t hate on anyone. Every group can transcend. If we only end cosmopolitanism and take responsibility for doing it.

  • AN EXCUSE TO REPEAT: Love women. Do not debate women. Never debate women over pr

    AN EXCUSE TO REPEAT:

    Love women. Do not debate women.

    Never debate women over preference or good, only possible or impossible. Women cannot tolerate refutation of their emotions. This is what deprives them of agency. They cannot tolerate being at fault in the minds of others – only when they fault themselves. Women’s “Intuitions (impulses)” are almost unbearable, and without training (Stoicism, Buddhism, Religion) they cannot cope with them, and if they can cope with them, they cannot still cope with the confusion created by the inability to trust those emotions and continuously fight them with reason. So this is the origin feminism, the success of postmodernism, and the female affinity for socialism and marxism, and female interest in literary rather than scientific thought: They are constantly seeking excuses not to discipline their impulses. Men must constantly suppress ours or danger will result in the near term. The problem is that if we don’t suppress women’s danger results in the long term.

    Every woman is pandora, and we are the guardians of the box.

  • More on The Economics of Neurons

    by Pat Ryan Neurons don’t have a complete nucleus. Evolution has determined that letting neurons go through mitosis is a terrible idea and when you think about it, that makes sense. If I can just conjure up a huge amount of neurons to process all of the information the universe can generate, I will quickly run myself out of glucose and oxygen to the point of death. So… any organism that went down the road of mitosis scale died for those reasons and only neurons that were denied access to mitosis persisted. That means a fundamental disconnect between genetic cognition and neural cognition: Genetics operates on exponential scales to match inputs, but neurons operate by intentionally limiting inputs. You just can’t see every photon a light bulb generates or you’re going to literally die very quickly. Therefore, what you see about reality is the direct byproduct of this lack of scale-driven neural mitosis. This is the root mechanism responsible for “awareness” and is the core part of all evolution of intelligence. The alternative is a slime mold, which DOES go through mitosis and operates somewhat like a colony of neurons.. but it cannot get beyond that state because there is no pressure to manage established connections when you can just always grow outward to solve your problems. Locationists can suck it! Entropy is the only way!

  • Male and Female Similarities and Differences

    Male and female brains differ structurally. Male and female brains differ in endocrine responses. Male and female brains differ in cognitive biases. Male and female brains vary morally because of those differences. What I think people are confused by is: – That these are only biases and we all share experiences. – That our brains divide the labor of searching for opportunity (prey) and searching for risk (predators). – That some of us develop in more masculine environments and therefore adapt to them through ‘exercise’ of those cognitive, emotional, and moral biases; and some of us develop in more feminine environments and adapt to them through like exercise. The problem is that both males and females need sufficient stresses of adaptation to function in their gender roles. So there are more feminine males and more masculine males in both body, emotions, and minds.
