  • Art is perhaps the most effete and elegant path by which to study the evolution

    Art is perhaps the most effete and elegant path by which to study the evolution of man – writers lie like hell because authoring like gossip is cheap. Arts are costly. Architecture especially, and all arts evolve to decorate architecture. (ie: the decline in architecture and art)

    @ubermensch11111 @NISquadron I find education pedantic? Infantile? Like most autodidacts, I prefer self study. Only fine art was deeply interesting. Although I should have gone into the literature or philosophy departments when they asked me. I was too immature to understand what being asked meant.

  • Why Women Defect

    [I]n simple terms, men find greater persistence, consumptive, productive, and reproductive advantage in loyalty in pursuit of advantage despite conflict whereas women find greater persistence, consumptive, and reproductive advantage in disloyalty and avoidance of conflict. This is why women defect and why all cultures that survive prevent women from defection by limiting political participation.

  • It’s Not Free Markets – Its Rule of Law

    IT’S NOT FREE MARKETS – ITS RULE OF LAW [F]ree market capitalism is not what raises people. It’s rule of law that limits irreciprocity and forces people into LIMITED MARKETS, not ‘free’ markets. Those markets are limited to the prohibition on externalities. Free market capitalism was invented by the abrahamists to circumvent those limits and to profit from false promise, baiting into harm, harmful externality, and social undermining.
