COMPLAINT IS THE LANGUAGE OF IMBECILES Anyone can complain. Anyone can criticize. How many people can explain the incentives that cause people to act in a way that they do, that you disagree with? Complaints about people. Complaints about events. complaints about society, complaints about civilization. complaints about man. Complaints are merely statements of incompetence. Competence is demonstrated by an explanation of the incentives that produce behaviors, and the institutional methods by which counter-incentives can be created that will produce preferred behaviors. And high competence is demonstrated by explanation of a possible method of doing so.

( this is not to say rothbard knew what he was doing any more than women know what they are doing – it’s just experience, intuition, culture, and genetics. But it’s still an evil attack on western civilization whether intentional or not.)

Jeez Michael. The whole Island 120… damn. I didnt need that model. Here I was, thinking that as long as people have 106+ they can at least use numbers, use a toilet, and go to sleep without turning around in a circle three times, and you give me this little gem, and I start thinking about how many people in each cohort and in each half standard deviation, and … and I got really scared. ‘Cause that means the target median IQ for a Pareto-minimum is a lot closer to 115 before we aren’t carrying baggage.
