    Because the USA + Development Capital + insulation from conquest is better for them in every possible way.

    There is no guarantee that the USA will remain in NATO once europe is forced to rearm, france asserts its dominance over europe, and french demand for sovereignty over europe and the end of american influence in europe is achieved.

    Plus of course we have intel on RU and CN ambitions. Unfortunately the common conception of the world via the Mercator projection is rather archaic, when geostrategically the world is better represented with a polar projection. And the more the ice recedes the more important the polar centrality of military and trade routes emerges.

    Let’s assume you’re right that the people will tolerate any government, and that your neighboring states will tolerate any government, and you could find trading partners that would tolerate any government, then how do you produce a government of your preference if the extant elite and extant population resist it? So it’s not that people will tolerate it, its whether the elites, bureaucrats, the military, the financial, industrial and other sectors, and then the factions of the population will permit it.

  • CORRECT ANSWER: Regardless of the existence of, or form of existence of god or g

    CORRECT ANSWER:
    Regardless of the existence of, or form of existence of god or gods, the laws of the universe, and as a product of those laws, the natural law of cooperation remains constant.

    If one does not deny the inviolability of those natural laws of cooperation, then regardless of god(s) existence or form, the laws remain the same.

    As such universal morality – or at least, universal immorality that we must avoid, serve those laws of cooperation, of nature, and of nature’s god if he exists.

    Insure the self determination by self determined means of others by insurance of their sovereignty in demonstrated interest, by insurance of reciprocity in display word and deed. This is the only means by which not to provoke retaliation such that we live and cooperate in peace and prosperity with one another.

    As such it’s the laws of the universe that determine morality – because they exist independent of our claim of god’s existence or form.

    However, the laws of the universe which tell us do not commit the immoral – tell us what not to do. These laws forced us to discover the derivation of those laws, to encourages us to cooperate as well as non-conflict -and the only philosopher or prophet to do so was Jesus of Nazareth, who gave us four more laws to promote cooperation (morality) rather than prevent conflict (immorality).

    Those laws are:
    1) The eradication of hatred from the human heart.
    2) The extension of kinship love to all receptive of it.
    3) The requirement for personal acts of charity to those deserving of it.
    4) The extension of exhaustive forgiveness before punishment, enserfment, enslavement, death, or war.

  • THE CORRECT ANSWER (a) none of us an testify to the existence of god so we canno

    THE CORRECT ANSWER
    (a) none of us an testify to the existence of god so we cannot claim god exists without lying, we can only say we believe or have faith that a god exists.
    (b) There are five possible conditions
    – i) God(s) exist outside the universe
    – ii) God(s) and the universe are synonymous
    – iii) God(s) exist inside the universe
    – iv) God(s) exist as a product of the mind of man.
    – v) God(s) do not exist except as a useful fiction for man to suggest the means by which we cooperate.
    (c) As long as the laws of the universe exist and are universal, and as a consequence the laws that man must obey to cooperate at scale and obtain the benefits of cooperation at scale, then it does not matter which of the five possible conditions is true.
    (d) Instead the only difference is who can lie about what laws we must obey to cooperate at scale and obtain the benefits of cooperation at scale.

    Nothing else can be said.

    Q:–“Do you think Elon should be totally ignored and not rebutted?”–

    I think rational debate in matters of public import is always good. I think the problem is due to asymmetric knowledge and incentives. And that we must find a solution despite the resulting variation. The only way to do that is open debate. Thankfully Elon created X so that we can finally have those debates again.

    I think we all have a balance scale in our minds.
    We each have a collection of weights we put on each side – the case for and against.
    Our understanding and our interests determine those weights – and they vary, often quite a bit.
    I think elon is correct about the top .01% of scientific and technical talent.
    I think my list of recommendations is correct (see below).
    I think we should aggressively deport everyone and anyone who won’t ‘buy in’ meaning full integration.
    I think some groups cannot fully integrate: islamists, and that said, look at the damage done by the jews.
    I am concerned some other groups can but the demographic distribution is a burden not a contribution (race issues).
    I am more concerned about white rates of reproduction.
    I am most concerned about he decline in average IQ because that determines EVERYTHING.

    Reposting:
    THE ANSWER TO THE H1B DEBATE?
    (a) US colleges are selecting against white males.
    (b) US colleges are selecting in favor of foreigners b/c $.
    (c) The IQ distribution in China means that with a much larger population they will produce as many +130 as the USA and Europe combined.
    (d) The IQ distribution in India means that while they produce around the same total +130, they are more likely to pursue USA jobs given the asymmetry of rewards.
    (e) Net is that we (the west) do not produce enough +130 to compete in science and tech without SUPPLEMENTING our +130 with theirs.
    (f) Policy must be:
    – i) to exhaust the US supply before including foreign students in colleges and universities,
    – ii) and Visa must be limited to top talent,
    – iii) and birthright citizenship and chain migration must be prohibited.

    As in all things demographics drive everything. That’s my understanding of the data.

    Thanks

    And you will lose. The entire post-industrial order, the entire progressive order, the entire marxist-trotsky-postomodern-woke sequence is dead .. permanently. Sorry. Everything you nitwits sought was a theft under the pretense that you were oppressed rather than domesticated; that you lied about the possibility of endless growth; that you enacted policies that put us into debt because of that lie; that you burned our genetic, cultural, and institutional capital because of those lies and that debt, and that everything you seek is to evade responsibility for self regulation of your impulses, responsibility for self determination by self determined means, responsibility for the preservation of our civilization’s genetic, cultural, and institutional capital. And because of you governments are collapsing across the west, economies are collapsing across the west, the western competitive advantage is collapsing against the world, and present and future generations will be poorer and suffer because of your folly. You should never have been given the vote without demonstrating competency in bearing the burden of responsibility that you shun and blame others for with every breath.

  • Ok. (a) personal experience (observation) does defeat reason without observation

    Ok. (a) personal experience (observation) does defeat reason without observation. (b) the cumulation of impersonal experience defeats personal experience. (c) hypotheses that generalize impersonal experience can be conditionally true of false until tested. (d) theories that survive testing can be conditionally true until false. (e) Settled theories have survived application in real world.

    The market demonstrates the demand for gold inversely with order that eliminates that demand. Thats the evidence. Reason is justification for imagination.
