@jollyheretic RE: Democracy and Trust
Yes, democracy provides a means of resolving differences in priorities for public expenditures. Markets a means of matching means and ends between people with differing wants and needs within those differences.

Yes, leftism is genetically self terminating. The problem is that sharing a polity with leftists drags you and your genes down with them.

Thankfully we know that political bias is largely genetic in the ‘problematic’ left. (Feminine neuroticism, magical thinking, antisociality)

Of course we’re in WWIII. Why? Because the industrial age’s conversion from empires to federations isn’t complete. The hanger’s on, the kleptocracies, in RU, CN, and IR haven’t evolved far and fast enough, and they’re desperately clinging to power.

So, I mean, quite literally, the pawns need the NATURAL elites, and the natural elites need the pawns. Meanwhile the CREDENTIALED (unnatural) elites are a detriment to both pawns and potential natural elites.

The problem with High IQ populations isn’t an oversupply of upper outliers, but an undersupply of cannon fodder that results in their conquest.

So far 10M Russians have fled Russia over the war voluntarily. That’s nearly the same as the number of Ukrainians displaced by the war involuntarily.

Next step in RU is martial law prohibiting males 18-50 from leaving the country.

The reasons for Russia’s annexing Ukrainian territory are a) Internal – they can use conscripts on RU territory. RU law prohibits use of conscripts outside of RU territory. b) They can claim they can use nukes (nope) to defend RU territory. (It’d be suicide for Russian elites.)

One’s opponents seek to focus their efforts on a given strategy, while you seek to discover and exploit opportunities. Unfortunately RU military and transport aren’t organized for such a strategy. So this is why the politicians ARE organized for it. https://twitter.com/curtdoolittle/status/1574010452568428545

This is why the public is confused. The media asks, and intellectuals offer, questions of certainty and single strategy, while grand strategists merely seek to advance a field of opportunities. This is why grand strategists defeat everyone else: opportunities vs certainties. https://twitter.com/curtdoolittle/status/1574009082696159233

RU Strategy is Napoleonic, Incremental, and Endless.
Grand strategists do not seek a single end, but to maximize the spectrum of opportunities for the range of victories. Only simple folk focus their energies on a single desired objective.
