    YOUNG PEOPLE? CHOOSE NYC VS AUSTIN?

    The quality of people in Austin is much higher than the quality of people in NYC. This has to do with the legacy demographics of NYC vs Austin and the character of people that pursue tech’s productive industries versus finance, advertising, media, acting: the parasitic industries

    If you are a young, educated person, with ambitions, there is no comparison between the two. NYC carries a long burden of bad judgments and specializes in old industries. Boston lost tech to SF. CA is losing tech to Texas. Boston held bio. NY finance/media. Texas is the future.

    Let’s take it further: NYC is following Baltimore, Detroit, and Chicago into sh–hole status. The next major ‘reformation’ of the financial sector (soon) will do to NYC what happened to Detroit-Auto, Boston-Tech, and CA industry. 2008 was just the beginning.

    Globalism ended. The USA cannot continue pay for the world patterns of defense, trade, finance, and law. We can’t win a 4G war. We can’t project power. We have no competitive advantage other than the dollar, and it’s at increasing risk.

    We lack the population, the demographics (we’re dropping below the minimum threshold for a democracy), and our only strategic advantage is that we occupy an enormous island separated from eurasia.

    It takes 1B people to compete. We don’t have the resources. What we do have is the ability to produce food.

  • DEAR BILL GATES: PLEASE CONSIDER REPOSITIONING YOUR MESSAGE @BillGates Regarding

    DEAR BILL GATES: PLEASE CONSIDER REPOSITIONING YOUR MESSAGE

    @BillGates

    Regarding your requiest for another medical bureaucdracy: To counter conspiracy nuts, please consider altering your messaging:

    1) In the postwar pax americana, we have demilitarized society. But military organization and discipline are necessary for fighting crises whether medical, economic, natural disasters or war.

    2) Militaries conduct war games to test the organization. We don’t conduct war games for crises of health, economics, and disasters. War games prevent politicization, bureacratic capture, rent seeking, and deviation from core mission. The CDC, WHO and Healthcare all failed because they were never subject to the stresses for which they were originally comissioned.

    3) Every division of government has failed in the past twenty years for this reason. This healthcare crisis is just the most recent, most universal, and longest lasting. And Government won’t reorganize for Total War, Military for 4GW, Treasury for Banking Crisis, Health for Plagues.

    4) Even worse we lost Strategic production to overseas outsourcing. This is true in general knowledge retention, employment protection, medical supplies, emergency supplies, and even military weapons supplies. Price discounts by outsourcing come at costs only visible in crisis.

    5) The western tradition of success in the ancient and modern worlds is due to this militial organization on one hand and the civic virtue, tolerance, and responsibility that results from it on the other. We’ve lost that ability. We have fallen into the trap of the other civs.

    6) And by not maintaining military organization and discipline, and not conducting these games, the public is lulled into false security (fragility). The public loses taking responsibility for disasters. We can’t mobilize the public, business, government, and military in crisis.

    7/8) So why do conspiracies, anti-vax, anti-mask, emerge?

    (a) feeling that ‘something is wrong’,
    (b) that they are powerless and the world is out of control
    (c) no ‘war plans’ in place to explain to the people in crisis.
    (d) that they have no chain of competency to appeal to.
    (e) and instead are manipulated by a media, and politicians they have learned they can’t rust.
    (f) becuase we are in a seventy year war against our civilization by a repeat of the past century and a half of wars against our culture – to demilitarize and end the civil society.

    9) That’s the correct cultural diagnosis that you’re fighing against. The truth is always the best solution. Another bureaucracy that has a few heads, little funding, and no tests, plans, method execution, and is not trusted by a people who are uninvolved and uniformed will fail.

    THEY ARE AFRAID

    The government worries about other conservative leaders because they fear they’ll inspire violence. They fear people like yours truly because they fear we will start a revolution. They are afraid. The Cathedral and State are more afraid of you than you are of them – and that’s saying something.

    I told you all year – over and over. Winning is deterministic – if you show up.

    1. You have to show up in the tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands. And we will manage ‘supplies and resources’ from that point.
    2. You can’t take the bait into violence no matter how much you want to – the enemy specializes in baiting into a hazard. You can’t take the bait.
    3. You have to deliver rational achievable demands that benefit the majority of the population and make settlement rational – we have those demands.
    4. You have to be willing to stay in the field for six weeks – not go home at night.
    5. And you have to be willing to lose a hundred men to the cause if the state is stupid enough to start something. It would delegitimize the state immediately.
    6. This is the only method of controlling the discourse quickly and baiting the left, the state, and the financial sector – the whole cathedral complex – into a hazard.

    You. Every one of you. Every single one – you have the power to save your civilization or fall like the Romans to the Christians and barbarians, the Spanish to invasion, the Russians to Bolshevism, the Germans to baiting into hazard of war.

    The choice is yours.
    You just must choose.
    Because there is no one to save you.
    And you need no one to save you but the man in the mirror.

  • The Foundations of All Philosophical Thought: Causality, Truth And Beauty

    The Function of Science, Testimony, and Law

    The function of science and natural law is continuous innovation and adaptation. The function of Theology, Philosophy, Pseudoscience, and Sophistry is to provide psychological comfort in relieving the stress of innovation, adaptation, productivity, reciprocity. Seeking the truth is always superior to seeking the preferential as a substitute. This is why every other people – every single one – other than European middle and upper classes failed evolution’s test of continuous adaptation and innovation. Non-european thought is almost universally dedicated to escapism. Because the value of cooperation is assumed to be infinite.

    Epistemology (truth):

    Body: Sense > Model(of existence) > Perception > Auto Association > Auto-Prediction > Valuation > Recursion:

    Langauge facility (wayfinding): Continuous recursive disambiguation:

    Promise: Speech: Existential > Declarative > Ostensive > Imperative > Agree/Not:

    Evidence: Actions: Invariant .> True-False .> Correspondent-not > Success-Fail > Agree/Not

    Recursion: Free Association > Hypothesis > Theory > Surviving Theory

    Because: Relational Possibility  > Self test > Demonstrated Test > Market Test That’s a description of how body, language facility, speech, action, and resulting evidence perform the function of the discovery of what’s not false. That’s the science: science is testimony that survives the test of realism, naturalism, consistency, correspondence, coherence, completeness, competitive parsimony, across the spectrum of dimensions perceivable by man. The elimination of opportunity for ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, fictionalism, and deceit.

    (a) the universe exists (b) we develop different group strategies, (c) we develop different paradigms, (d) we develop different frames within them (e) we develop different priorities in declarative, ostensive,and imperative to suit them?

    Human Language facility(recursion) > A Given Language > Strategy > Paradigm > Story Mode (testimony, description, fiction, fictionalism, deceit) > Influence Mode(declarative, imperative, ostensive) > Vocabulary (phonology, morphology) > Grammar (logic) > Syntax (organization of inferences) My argument is that group strategies vary from highly correspondent, productive, innovative, and adaptive to non-correspondent, parasitic, destructive, and devolutionary. This is what almost every single theologian, philosopher, or scientist fails to include. Because they assume that infinite cooperation and decreasing competition is valuable rather than disastrous. So given that rapid continuous adaptation is the European tradition, I would argue that tradition is something we shouldn’t leave behind because our tradition is trifunctionalism mediated by truth (law). The most action-oriented tradition in history.

    Beauty

    As far as I know, beauty in all cases is the availability of resources(fertility), quality (fertility), aesthetics (symmetry in fertility), ease (fertility), awe (new opportunities in fertility). Beauty is no different from any other experience, or any other truth. We have experiences, associations based on them, and personal valuations of them for extremely idiosyncratic reasons. AFAIK There are no exceptions to this. It’s was my first philosophical subject.

    First Causes, Understanding, and Decidability vs Strategy, Paradigm, and Prescription

    So knowing First Causes (what I do) only provides understanding not prescription. And so again we come to declarative (is) vs imperative (can, must, should). And the difference is decidability in matters of conflict (is) vs decidability in matters of agreement (can, must, should). The difference between ‘Conflict’ over the involuntary imposition of costs against demonstrated interests vs ‘Debate’ over voluntary application of investments to create or advance demonstrated interests. And so again we see via negativa law(science) vs via Positiva philosophy(preference), and conflation of both by theology(demand), and simple necessity in war (command)

    So: Masculine > Command > Law > Preference < Wisdom < Demand < Feminine How to rally people to, is different from how to prevent people from. Any positiva outcome that does not violate the laws of the universe is not destructive. That choice is an an aesthetic choice. I’m only making true-false, beneficial-harmful, evolutionary-devolutionary statements. And so the inspirational, aspirational, philosophical, literary, mythological, religious, and occult narratives – these are pedagogically necessary – at least for the vast majority. But I want to end the enemy forever – not compete by narratives.

    The European Tradition is Rule of Nature, Natural law, And that means truth reciprocity and markets

    And so the European tradition is the most powerful narrative. Because the truth is the most powerful narrative, and the European tradition is the most truthful. Because the European tradition is most adaptive to the laws of the universe, and the benefits of doing so faster than all others. The problem is, it is also the most personally costly, the most socially costly, demanding we are an army at all times, in all walks of life, united by loyalty, duty, truth, and reciprocity, despite our differences in rank and class, and all benefiting from the commons we produce in that loyalty, duty, truth, and reciprocity – benefits that no other people can produce. And it requires we pay a high price – limiting the reproduction of those who cannot perform their loyalty, duty, truth, and reciprocity, by tests of markets in all aspects of life.

    THE FOUNDATIONS OF ALL PHILOSOPHICAL THOUGHT

    The function of science and natural law is adaptation.

    The function of Theology, Philosophy, Pseudoscience and Sophistry is to provide psychological comfort in relieving the stress of innovation, adaptation, productivity, reciprocity.

    Seeking the truth is always superior to seeking the preferential as a subsititute. This is why every other people – every single one – other than european middle and upper classes failed evolution’s test of continuous adaptation and innovation. Non european thought is almost universally dedicated to escapism. Because the value of cooperation is assumed to be infinite.

    EPISTEMOLOGY:

    2. Langauge facility (wayfinding): Continuous recursive disambiguation:
    3. Promise: Speech: Existential > Declarative > Ostensive > Imperative > Agree/Not:
    4. Evidence: Actions: Invariant .> True-False .> Correspondent-not > Success-Fail > Agree/Not
    5. Recursion: Free Association > Hypothesis > Theory > Surviving Theory
    6. Because: Relational Possibility > Self Test > Demonstrated Test > Market Test

    That’s what exists and how body, language facility, Speech, action and resulting evidence performs.

    My argument is that group strategies vary from highly correspondent, productive, innovative, and adaptive to non-correspondent, parasitic, destructive, and devolutionary.

    This is what almost every single theologian, philosopher, or scientist fails to include. Because they assume that infinite cooperation and decreasing competition is valuable rather than disastrous.

    So given that rapid continuous adaptation is the European tradition, I would argue that tradition is something we shouldn’t leave behind because our tradition is trifuctionalism mediated by truth (law). The most action-oriented tradition in history.

    BEAUTY:

    As far as I know, beauty in all cases is the availability of resources (fertility), quality (fertility), aesthetics (symmetry in fertility), ease (fertility), awe (new opportunities in fertility). AFAIK There are no exceptions to this. It’s was my first philosophical subject.

    And again we see via negativa law(science) vs via positiva philosophy(preference), and conflation of both by theology(demand), and simple necessity in war (command)

    So: Masculine Command > law > preference < wisdom < Feminine Demand

    Main Mac repaired. (One ‘odd’ key. Replacing a keyboard is a nightmare. And a fan doesn’t appear to be working. Connectors are too fragile). Second mac replacement hard drive is on order. Doesn’t seem I lost any work, but recreating my workspace windows took HOURS.

    THE STRONG DO NOT SEE THE WORLD LIKE THE WEAK

    -“Mother Earth rapists whilst flying in our private jets. It is a classic ego defensive strategy that permits the ruling class to exist within their fractured selves. Save this thread. Memorize it. I’m offering you a deep psychological explanation of our times.”- Gad Saad

    I had this same conversation with Paul Gottfried 20 years ago. Psychologizing behavior in Freudian terms is almost always a frame of those who are weak.

    For the strong, it’s a simple digestible signal of non-aggression providing armor against criticism that hurts opportunities and networks of employees, dependents and allies.

    So rather than ego massage, it’s free advertising of virtue signals in the age of woke religion and competition by virtue signal spirals. Because where people who lack agency seek psychology those with agency see simple utility.

    As far as I know, all emotions and all language are just negotiation – and the underlying motivations for all human behavior are tragically trivial: acquisition at escalating discount.

    Everything else is just moralizing to war (negotiate).

    This strange difference between the female/empathic frame and the masculine/martial frame pervades the Left-Right discourse. And it wasn’t there before the marxist-neo-marxist-pomo-pc/woke movements.

    I can’t figure out if the Jewish vs European conflict is that simple. (likely)

    WHAT WOULD CHRISTIAN REFORMATION LOOK LIKE?

    By failing to reform, and doubling down on superstition, rather than continuing the trend of integration with classical thought by integrating modern science, that Christianity is has become a third world religion out-competed by the new cult of woke.

    -“Interesting. What would you see Christianity looking like if it did reform and integrate with modern science?”-

    Jesus of the Jefferson Bible. The Natural Law. Our Story as God’s chosen people. Our discovery of gods laws of the universe. And our Struggle to transcend man into the hands of god by those laws. And the war against Semitic evil and their war against us to prevent it.

    The Cult Of Woke Is Defeating Christianity

    -“Are you addressing all of christianity?”-

    I am addressing the fact that by failing to reform, and doubling down on superstition, rather than continuing the trend of integration with classical thought by integrating modern science,that Christianity is has become a third world religion out-competed by the new cult of woke.

    We had Augustine in the ancient world, to try to make christianity compatible with Classical thought. we had Aquinas during the restoration of classical thought, we had the scholastics come close to natural law, but the church collapsed in the face of Darwin, and had no reformer. Instead french thought during the 17-1800’s, german philosophy in the 1800, jewish pseudoscience in the 1800-1900’s culminated in Jewish “Woke”.

    In my work I found it frustrating that jefferson had discoverd how to recover jesus and leave behind jewish superstition. leave behind the corruption of the church. and that between jesus’ teachings and the natural law the church merely failed to complete it’s reformation.
