    “THE GREATER THE DIVERSITY THE MORE POWERFUL THE STATE”

    The potential capacity for advantageous mating determines the cooperation between groups.

    1) A weak state and a homogenous population = civil society.

    2) A strong state and a homogenous population = a redistributive society

    3) A strong state and a heterogeneous population = a tribal society (dysfunctional)

    4) A weak state and a heterogeneous population = cannot and does not exist.

    ________________:___Heterogeneous_____Homogenous___

    Weak State___________(conflict)____________Civil_________

    Strong State __________Tribal___________Redistributive___

    MEANS OF REPRODUCTIVE DIVERSITY

    1) Structure of Production (Economy)

    2) Size of Family Structure in Structure of Production (Family)

    3) Genetic Distance for the purpose of mate selection (Desirability)

    4) Metaphysical Distance for the purpose of decision making. (Culture)

    Note that family structure alone is sufficient to create the moral diversity that creates conflict. Also note that the greater the distance of the classes, the more the family structure must change to reflect them.

    The USA has a enormous genetic distance, and a wide set of family structures to support them.

    THREE WEAPONS OF INFLUENCE

    1. OSTRACIZE(SHAME), 2. BUY(COMPENSATE), 3.FORCE(THREATEN)

    We have spent a century shaming them.

    We have spent three quarters of a century trying to buy them.

    And neither has worked. They redefined morality with Postmodernism. And our efforts to buy them off only encouraged them.

    The only remaining choice is to threaten them. To harm them. To kill them if necessary.

    Violence is the source, and sustenance, of private property rights.

    Use it or lose them.

    UKRAINE GOSSIP

    1) AP reporting that the President has agreed to meet with ex-presidents to resolve the conflict. People tell me it’s not true. It is a diffusion game. He is arriving back in the country today and he’s more than a little worried someone will kill him. Now, I have no idea. But it certainly makes sense to me. A lot of very rich people get very harmed by this, and he may be a sacrifice that needs to be made.

    “Dec. 9, 1:02 p.m. A top government source confirmed to the Kyiv Post that a decision was taken to use force against protesters. The attack seems imminent, but no details are available at the moment.” –Katya Gorchinskaya

    “Dec. 9, 12:58 p.m. Government workers have been evacuted from the Kyiv city center as police in riot gear move in a set up barricades on Khreschatyk Street, according to a source in the European Union delegation to Ukraine who asked that he remain anonymous because he was not allowed to speak publicly.” — Christopher J. Miller

    LIBERTY AS AN ARISTOCRACY OF EVERYBODY, OR JUST FOR THOSE WHO CHOOSE LIBERTY?

    It’s kind of admirable that the british enlightenment felt that they could create an aristocracy of everybody. And, given british power and circumstance, it’s possibly understandable how such an ambition could be honestly thought, and more than ideological marketing to the rapidly expanding colonials and bureaucrats, and motivation for the labor force. With such wealthy of course, it seemed at least plausible that the trend would continue forever.

    But really. It was just marketing.

    Good marketing.

    But just marketing.
