    —“There is a significant error in Peterson’s calculation.

    He claims that Jews with IQ’s of 145 or above are, in percentage terms, commensurate with their proportion of millionaires / billionaires. However his baseline for the total is merely the Jewish and White population.

    However, White Americans now make up little over 60% of the overall population. His baseline thus comprises only 63% of the total US population. To use the entire US population as a baseline would reduce millionaire numbers to 25% of the total.

    Peterson’s calculation therefore only adds up if he assumes that there exist no 145+ outside of the US’ White and Jewish populations.

    Although it might be argued that US adult population demographics are likely to increase the accuracy of Peterson’s baseline, it nevertheless remains considerably off.”— Aaron Kahland

So this means that the Ashkenazi produce outliers just as the upper caste anglos doe. But that little difference means 2x 130+ and 1×140+ for every one of ours. And we tend to think of mathematics as calculation (it is) but language is also a form of calculation, and we have just (or I have just) begun to understand that language is a means of calculating (transforming inputs and outputs) in a market (competition) for signaling and influence, that produces continuous improvements in knowledge *IF* not impeded by error (supernatural, magical, ideal) all of which prohibit precision and increase error counter to the natural, scientific, and operational descriptions. Hence white performance in the physical era and jewish performance in the verbal era. )

    THERE IS NO POSTMODERN CONSERVATISM -ONLY ADOPTION OF LEFTIST TECHNIQUE OF Ridicule, shaming, rallying, straw manning, superstition, moralism, psychologism, pseudoscience, and the denial of truth and reason.

    CONFUSING EMPIRICAL METHOD WITH INTUITIONISTIC JUSTIFICATION

    Claims of Postmodern conservatism are an error that confuses the universal fictionalism of the left, with the universal empiricism of the right. In other words, no conservatives are postmodernists, they have merely adopted the TECHNIQUES of the Marxists-Feminists-Postmodernists in Rhetoric (industrialization of lying) and abandoned their tradition of Truth and Honor, because they have abandoned HOPE of the integration of the left into the ANGLO empirical enlightenment’s ambition of an aristocracy of everyone, versus the cult of Semitic-Catholic authoritarian equality, and returned to their traditional Hierarchy of Priesthood, Aristocracy, Burgher, Craftsman, and Peasant, because the Academy, State, Media (priesthood fictional and equalitarian) is allied against the Aristocracy, Burgher, Craftsman (empirical and meritocratic – the parasitic top and bottom against the productive middle.

    And as such the natural markets for parasitism (pastoralists and women) against productivity (Farmers and men) continues its long march from 10000 bc to the present.

    THERE IS NOTHING NEW HERE.

    Islamism-Marxism-Feminism-Postmodernism weaponized against meritocracy in the modern world, is just version two of Judaism-Christianity-Islam weaponized against the aristocratic civilizations of the ancient world.

    THE DARK AGES REPEATED

    Whether the current generation of revolt (Islamism, Marxism, Feminism, Postmodernism) that makes use of supernaturalism, pseudoscience, and pseudo-rationalism, is to bring us to yet another dark age as did the revolt by Judaism-Christianity-Islam is yet to be seen. But if the current generations in the west are any indication our Empirical Enlightenment will be crushed just as it was in the past, through fraud and immigration, leaving, once again, only the Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese to survive the worldwide decline, using the walls, warfare, and that form of nepotism we call ethnocentrism.

  • WTC: Please Don’t Be Stupid in my Presence

    September 13th, 2018 7:13 PM WTC
    Please don’t dork on my wall. Not to be too nerdy, but WTC failed at weakest point: holding the floors to the center and perimeter. so it only had to heat the weakest point on one floor sufficiently to lose half its strength and the weight of the stack did the rest. Pancaking is a very common method of architectural failure and is the principle reason for collapse after exterior wall failure, and foundation failure. In other words, buildings tilt and fall, or collapse and pancake depending upon whether it is built as a honeycomb (apartments) or a stack (office building). There are MANY regulations in place during the construction of buildings precisely because pancaking is so dangerous during the process. Particularly with buildings that jack the floors into place. There have been calls in the past for prohibiting the practice. I don’t know how common it is today. But it appears that most floors are poured in place today. WTC was designed with less masonry, more exterior and core columns, with no midpoint columns, but long spans of floor braces covered with concrete. This meant that floor pressure bearing on the joint between column and floor was not distributed across as many columns by short runs but concentrated in core and edge by long runs. These points only had to soften enough to lose 50% of their carrying capacity. When that happened, the floor sank, exterior columns bowed, and the pressure of the floors above just used gravity and momentum to overload each set of floors below it. Thus pancaking. The MIT report is correct – I cannot find any fault with it. I can however attest to the … dunning kruger effect of everyone who disagrees with it. ======UPDATE=== The building was designed to be light. The columns were box-columns of decreasing thickness with height.
    The diagram attached helps understand that the building was constructed out of TUBES, like building something out of straws. This is why there are huge pieces of the exterior still standing, because unlike most buildings, the exterior was structural. The pictures of the wreckages show the columns as sheet steel. The attached photo shows the I-beam that connected the box columns and a box column it’s attached to. Heck, just looking at the floor plan shows the tubular structure of the building. ====== UPDATE ==== You don’t understand. I don’t make mistakes. It’s my job. From the Journal of Materials and Metallurgy
    Thomas W. Eagar, the Thomas Lord Professor of Materials Engineering and Engineering Systems
    MIT, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Room 4-136, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139-4301; Eagar was the author of the “steel didn’t melt” findings. The NIST Report is online, and makes the same argument. Heat, buckle, break, pressure, collapse. Eyewitnesses reported that one or more floors ‘in the nineties’ had collapsed. Eyewitnesses reported the buckling of the exterior (Structural) walls. We were all witness to the pancaking. Damage > Burn > Break > Buckle > Squish > Pancake. Buildings tilt from foundations and cause buckling, buckle from exterior damage and pull the structure over, pancake from weight above, and on occasion all three. But as in all things: —“the tendency of all solids when heated is increase in plasticity”– —“The tendency of a rock is to fall straight down”.— —“The tendency of the dim to overestimate their competency is infinite”— Please don’t be stupid in my presence. Policing the informational commons is a moral obligation of all men, and stomping on intellectual bunnies is tedious and not an honorable use of time.

  • Notes: Jordan Peterson and Jonathan Haidt

    (notes) 1) You (and jonathan) are correct that the internet has had the suggested effect, but incorrect that it has created a false impression. Instead, we all have a much more HONEST and UNFILTERED view of each group’s narrative and ambitions when absent curation by filters. The fact that you’re discounting this is rather odd, and I’ll expand this in a moment. 2) Pinker’s work misses (or artfully avoids the fact) that while violence has seemingly decreased, it has simply moved from physical attack on physical property to financialization and political parasitism that has redistributed middle and working class reproduction familial insurance, and retirement to the underclass and immigrants, and destroyed the nuclear family central to the USA’s groups strategy by malincentives in the name of virtues. 3) The principle problem in primary education is that the differences between racial groups is largely one of neotonic evolution in response to geographic demands. And that we mature at different rates, some faster and some slower, and that the rates of aggression and sensitivity to existential differences in irreversible sexual, social, economic, political, and market value come into play at different times, to different intensities. One cannot have any knowledge of the classroom and understand the violence that children are exposed to. Compare this to my current home in Ukraine where the homogeneity of the 1950’s is everywhere and conformity mandated everywhere, and civility still exists, despite being the only poor european country remaining. As far as I know the bottom has been repaired to wealth, health and nutrition and the Flynn effect is reversing. Why? It is more important to remove negative influences than try to create positive influences. We have lost vast portions of the always-troublesome white laboring and working classes to malincentives already. 4) The university isn’t as much a problem as pseudoscience: teach basic accounting, credit, micro and macro economic principles so that people undrestand the world we live in and why no alternative is possible. The university does not teach that the principle problem of differences in national income have to do with (a) degree of homogeneity, and (b) size of the underclass vs the middle class. Lastly is to cut the pseudosciences that women in particular create demand for, in exchange for vast student debt and no increase in calculative capacity. 5) The right does not see eugenic organization of society as oppression but domestication of humans just like all other animals and plants. Western civilization has been aggressively eugenic for all of its recorded history, with no myth of equality whatsoever. Limiting the damage of the bottom is seen as a necessary good. (The male reproductive strategy, versus the left’s female reproductive strategy.) 6) Neither of you take the position that just as the scandinavians naturally diverge in specialization under equality of choice and opportunity rather than converge, (despite being tiny homogenous 5-10m populations), that in larger groups it is in the intersets of groups of separate interests of separate strategies, to separate and produce norms, traditions, commons, and institutions, that are preferable for each group. 7) The Jewish question is driven almost entirely by (a) the jewish continuous advocacy for leftism and records of what they have done elsewhere, (b) activism in the process of undermining the constitution as a document of reciprocity (natural law) by selective advancement of cases before the court, and activism in suppression of western identitarianism (SPLC), (b) dominance in media and entertainment, and (c) demonstrated superiority at extemporaneous discourse in an era of high demand for extemporaneous speech in the media. It’s very easy to survey any publication for ant-white posts and determine the ethnicity of the authors, and this drives the perception. The use of argumentative techniques of poly-ethicalism, ir-reciprocity, relativism, combined with shaming, rallying, gossip, and reputation destruction, and of Pilpul(sophism) and Critique(straw manning extension of rallying shaming etc); 8) The right is terribly empirical AND hyperbolic in its interpretation of empirical evidence. The denial of HBD, the Negative consequences of diversity, the reality of IQ and the value of every single point of IQ in the standard of living of the people, the uniqueness of high trust in northern europeans, the general hostility against white people is endemic. (Moreover, you are mistaken about the percentage of the population that is aggressively advancing revolutionary activism. It’s just underground, and like all underground movements produces status signaling as a reward for participants. (The zero turnout in DC was by design.)) 9) There is no evidence that the mutli-culturalism in this country will succeed any more than hit has in any other region, particularly the middle east, south america, india, and africa – or europe for that matter. All data I know of says it INCREASES DEMAND FOR AUTHORITARIANISM, which, as I understand it, is, and has been, the left’s objective. 10) Peoples demonstrate kin selection except at the top, are more dependent on shared information and the discounts on kin vs non-kin cooperation at the bottom, differ in the distribution of the two traits most influential in social, economic, political, and technological development. Those of us in the high standard deviations from the mean are too insulated from the perceptions of common people – and the relative immutability of those perceptions as necessary for preservation of their will to continue to act in service of themselves and others. 11) Outside of china there is no evidence that the human capital reserves that existed prior to 1900, exist any longer, and the period by which a backward State could use pre-existing western technology and local resources to leverage a growth of the middle class has passed. (Note: I do not understand why chinese intelligence doesn’t pay the rural IQ cost like the rest of us, or if there is something in the collection of data or effect of literacy in character memorization that I don’t understand.). 12) The value of women added to the economy has been completely absorbed by increases in taxation. Ergo we have merely engaged in reproductive redistribution, and to the right wing white male, that just translates into genocide. Which is what is driving the right. “We were too kind, and let them win. With just that one law under johnson, they lied and we let them win.” My observation of both of you which is my observation of most people in the academy, is that understanding of economics in incentives, in behavior, in the micro economics that are perceptible to each of us, and macro economics that are not observable are counter to our intuitions, is as necessary a method of cognition as reading and mathematics, and that programming, being an operational and existential rather than sets and ideal is superior to mathematics. There is no commons possible to construct that is superior to upward redistribution of reproduction, and no harm that can be done to a polity other than it’s reversal. Lastly: We were wrong about south africa. The same is happening in southern brazil. And unless these are corrected the narrative will continue to accelerate.

  • Review

    REVIEWED BY REQUEST https://medium.com/@ciaran_92884/hierarchies-of-competence-competitive-proxies-and-the-conscious-generation-of-the-collective-df68e67bad03 Good try. Good thinking and good writing. But, you should study economics, law, political history, and war rather than whatever it is you are studying at the moment (software? computer games?), so that your framing, which is ‘ideal’ can be described in existential (real, operational) terms. If you did, you would grasp that you are saying what is common knowledge. So while you correctly understand the problem in ‘private language’ and you argue by ideal analogy, you are stating the obvious to those who are informed, and who argue not by analogy but by descriptive example of demonstrated human behavior. A market allows people with dissimilar ends to cooperate on similar means. A government creates markets by the suppression of murder, harm, theft, fraud, conspiracy, immigration, conversion, economic warfare, and physical warfare, using law, and communicating that law honestly (jurists, education), or dishonestly (priests, indoctrination). These markets function as the ‘games’ you refer to. They government and it’s military and judiciary in particular are compensated indirectly via taxation for suppression of the multitude of rents extracted otherwise. A ‘good’ government is merely one that survives competition so that people can organize, plan, produce, and inter-generationally survive. A ‘better’ government is one that is suitable to the needs of the population in competition with other populations, not one that is ideal and may or may not survive in competition with other governments. A ‘better’ government is one that creates survivable markets yet does not do so by creating rents, and whose externalities are not devolutionary. A ‘best’ government is one that provides higher returns from the markets to the people, than others so that their productivity is higher (time necessary to produce competitie returns is lower). Network effects always and everywhere create a majority (practical monopoly) player, where capital as previously a competitive advantage it no longer is so. And all of that said, people seek at all times to circumvent markets because they ARE competitive. If it is possible for people to seek and obtain power by political means they will do so rather than circumvent the market by cheating somehow, or compete in the market. People don’t want fair. The want unfair in their advantage. Why? Markets (games) produce Meritocracy, and Meritocracy screws the incapable and so, the incapable organize to circumvent the market by cheating, or circumvent the market by political control. Games exist precisely because they have immaterial outcomes. Markets exist because they have material outcomes. Political markets in particular either create more market conditions or less. So how do you get from where we are to the circumstance you are describing, as a series of steps? People don’t want fair. Markets do not seek equilibrium, but disequilibrium until crash. Because people do not seek fair, they seek advantage. And the seek advantage through every unethical immoral, and illegal means available Hence why we have such enormous institutions to prosecute those who circumvent the market. More than half of the population cannot read a manual and repair a device. The world must be organized for them. Because they are the problem. Not us. And organizing it for them requires continuous diligent education, training, disciplining, monitoring, policing, prosecution and punishment.
