  • No, What Threatens Islam Is Low Status, Truth, Reciprocity, Markets, Meritocracy, and Eugenics that Result

    NO, WHAT THREATENS ISLAM IS LOW STATUS, TRUTH, RECIPROCITY, MARKETS, MERITOCRACY, AND EUGENICS THAT RESULT

    —“Nothing threatens Islamic extremists in the West more than a Christian identity that revolves around family, authentic values and principles. They love what the Left promotes: no genders, no identity, and total confusion. They use that as a vehicle to take over and gain power.”—Imam of Peace @Imamofpeace

    What threatens islam is low status, b/c the terms by which one finds value in the self(obedience), and pretense of value to others(conformity), and means of advocacy (lying) is destructive, vs the value of western rule of law, truth before face, real productivity for reputation. Islam tried to solve the problem of pervasive corrupt tribal paternity with an equality in ignorance, respect, obedience, and poverty regardless of productivity. This meant success by stealing (conquest) and taxing (trade), but a failure to develop food, law, truth, tech, trade. The result was an exhaustion of the accumulated genetic, resource, intellectual, cultural, artistic capital of every great civilization of the ancient world, as each successive gene pool collapsed under the weight of a massive, ignorant, illiterate, unproductive, underclass. When the European Age of Sail eliminated the ability to ‘free ride’ on world trade, keeping the rest of the world as backward as islam, the world circumvented the islamic world and let it fall into natural productivity without european agrarian (balkan) food, or world trade. The greatest casualty for the west was Iran, and the loss of the Persian people into the catastrophe of islam, instead of following the indian and european peoples into modernity, and prosperity. Unfortunately, islam was attracted to the false promise of Jewish marxism (again). And western attempts to prevent the expansion of marxism – as economically destructive to people as islam was genetically, intellectually, and culturally – into the islamic world have failed, and islamic fundamentalism has returned as the alternative to marxism – …. … with the same tactics: sell false comfort to the underclass, who will then recruit neighboring underclasses, and destroy western and indian civilization as islam has destroyed north african, egyptian, byzantine, levantine, persian, civilizations. But genetic decline within. The chinese, japanes, and koreans are fully aware of the cancer of the abrahamic religions of judaism to undermine, christianity to weaken, and islam to destroy. The west has converted christianity into a germanic folk religion and destroyed the political church. All that remains: copy the Chinese, buy putting a wall around islam and letting muslims either reform or starve, rather than, like cancer, consume the other peoples by continuing the process of destruction of heroism and excellence, truth and duty, law, and merit in production.

  • The Utility and Disutility of Polygamy

    THE UTILITY AND DISUTILITY OF POLYGAMY by Martin Štěpán Polygamy works just fine when the group’s strategy is to conquer other groups and take their women but in a society that is a closed system, there is a finite number of women and letting them naturally distribute in Pareto distribution will leave disenfranchised men with the only option of conquering men from their own society to have a chance at a woman of their own. The parallel zero-sum game to his I can think of is land. If all land in the nation’s territory was owned by the few leaving most men without realistic chance to own any by legal means, they will go to war.

  • Prediction: What Will Happen to The Commercial Drone Revolution?

      They are extremely vulnerable, and the culmination of “Cargo Cult” opportunism. It will take a while for their density to be such that it’s worth making a living off investment with capturing their cargo, but you know, I sure as heck know how to make a living at it, and a gang that gets organized enough will make a great living at it. I mean, you know that video from south africa where the locals cut up a beached whale while it’s still living, and run off with hunks of meat? A distribution channel of drones carrying ‘Cargo’ is simply a an opportunity for many generations of the division of labor more evolved than whale meat. Drones fly at 120 meters (130 yards) according to FAA regulations. Now if you’ve shot skeet, you can shoot down a done with 3 1/2” 12 gauge OOO Buckshot, with a drop of 18″. If you lead, and fire three shots in sequence assuming 18″ drop it’s shooting fish in a barrel. (and yes the gang bangers will develop ‘talent’ that will do it, and vehicles to do it from, and spend all f’king day doing it. You can use a rifled shotgun and slug pretty easily at 130 yards. Even with a .22 semi auto – because it’s so quiet and can put a lot of rounds up there. Or with another drone you can just tie nails to a bit of fishing net and drop it on the drone, or just smack into it with your landing gear. Now that’s before we get to the fact that they are even more vulnerable during delivery of the goods. And that even if their reasonably autonomous they aren’t endlessly autonomous. And that capturing, modifying, and using them for ‘other purposes’ is profitable in and of itself. So now, you get your own and deliver drugs anonymously and don’t need runners. I mean, the disintermediation from the human being is awesome. And you know, load it up with explosives and now people won’t interfere with it. I mean.. it’s a whole new criminal industry just waiting to happen! 😉 Sorry. Just had to rain on the parade. Edit

  • The Only Answer Necessary

    —“So you think you came from a monkey?”– Jesse Daughtry

    I know for certain I evolved from a common group of ancestors to the other great apes – yes. And, yes, I know for certain people that disagree are lying on purpose, or lying, as do all addicts, to obscure and justify their addiction to the psychological returns on some other lie or set of lies. Furthermore I know because of my genetic predispositions my clan has evolved more so than most other humans because we lack pre-human demand for empathic and intuitionistic stimulation in order to maintain attention, reason, judgement, and decidability. And yes I know that those of us who are more evolved in these abilities that provide us with agency, are burdened by the remaining less evolved, undomesticated demi-human animals, who are still dependent on herd following intuitions, like the other animals we have domesticated. The difference is only that demi-humans, fed a perpetual diet of addictive lies providing the sensation that they are still welcome in the herd, can be ruled, and taxed, more cheaply and productively than they can be enslaved like their ancestors. Unfortunately we were too optimistic after the enlightenment and industrial revolution, and gave the demi-human half domesticated animals the vote – and for unsurprising reasons think they are conscious, rational, and possessed of agency, rather than semi-conscious, addicted to comforting lies, slaves who must be herded with more lies, like any addict.

  • How Will P-Law on Truthful and Reciprocal Public Speech Affect Me, and Our Lives?

      We’re decreasing tolerance for, and extending the liability for, the truthfulness and reciprocity we already enforce in contracts, selling, marketing and advertising, to all speech in public to the public, on matters of the public, making it impossible for anyone, including you, marketers, professors, intellectuals, media, and politicians, say anything they can’t testify to in court, because it is testifiable, and reciprocal. Meaning you must limit your public speech in public, to the public in matters public, especially for persona, economic or political gains, to what you can demonstrate you know enough to testify to, and that you can demonstrate you are not advocating, encouraging, or causing, the imposition of costs upon others without their fully informed, voluntary exchange. The only objection you can have is if you want engage in false and or irreciprocal speech. This means we will restore libel, slander, harmful gossip (undermining), psychologizing and moralizing (undermining instead of explaining the rational incentives of the people involved), suggestion(implying but not stating), obscurantism (hiding the truth), all left attempts at using the government to take rather than exchange between us, and all left attempts at lying about humans, our psychological, social, economic, and political orders. In other words, it will restore our informational commons to only that which one warrants is not false and not hurtful or harmful, or you will pay the price as if you did so in court. This means you can say whatever you want as long as it’s a constructive, a compromise exchange, helpful, and true. It means you cant say anything that’s destructive, encouraging conspiracy, harmful, and false. Yes the government, the media, advertising, marketing, public intellectuals, professors and teachers can no longer say comforting false things, and that your protection as a consumer made every single person in a company responsible for telling the truth and doing the reciprocal, ethical, moral thing, or they are open to prosecution. Yes it means that there will be a flurry of court cases as we build up a body of law for the many new conditions the law must cover, but this is what we do all the time, and we are very, very good at it. And it is very hard to be found guilty if you have in fact been careful with your words. And of course, no one cares about petty individual slip ups. We all make them. It is however different when it’s in the media, or from a public intellectual or politician attempting to inform the public or frame public discourse.. I suspect a rapid decline in news and a rapid shift in what remains, and that twitter and Facebook will have very serious problems if they are publishers, and as such will shift to platforms. And very quickly we will go back to a much less politicized, much more peaceful, much more prosocial civilization.”

  • Tripartism to Quadripartism

    TRIPARTISM TO QUADRIPARTISM

    —“Those who Fight, Those who Pray, Those who Work What’s the fourth class?”— Richard Hall

    ^Burghers (the middle class). “Those who Trade” The middle class emerged only once production was able to scale. And production could only scale once productivity was high enough to produce sufficient surpluses to scale. We can modernize Tripartism and simply call them The Defensive, Military, Judicial classes, The Administrative, Clerical, Educational classes, and Productive Financial Entrepreneurial, Professional, Managerial, Craftsman and Labor classes. None of us mention the underclasses, because until recently that meant ‘slave’ because they lacked agency, family, resources, and knowledge to be allowed to ‘roam free’ without an ‘owner’ to take responsibility for them – meaning defend the population from them. But since we develop elites in each of the Military, Administrative, and Productive classes, leaving the majority of the population managing only personal capital, especially the family, and making use of whatever elites that most serve their needs, we tend to separate the economic (Financial, Entrepreneurial,) from the Professional, Managerial, craftsmanly, and laboring classes. The middle east and far east, because of flood river valleys, and irrigation in them, combined the organization of production into the priesthood, and into the state, and the merchant class, even wealthy, traded specialty goods more than organized commodity capital goods in production. Preserving the trading, craftsman, and workman classes, and maintaining what we consider the capitalist class into the state. The problem is of course, state inefficiency and parasitism. The big economic shift occurred when the middle class Germanic Europe, was able to accumulate enough capital to develop the Hanseatic league on the continent – thanks to the lack of a strong central state – and create its own rule of law, own defense, own outposts, and trade networks. It ruled for three hundred years dragging northern Europe into post medieval wealth. The British people able to do the same in the colonies by the same reason: a military state, but an entrepreneurial middle class, capable of funding it’s own adventure. The colonies ended up being a better long term investment, which is why germany, after fighting off napoleon, needed to unify to prevent another despotic french catastrophe, sought to expand her influences (rightly so in my understanding) into territories it had economically domesticated, putting her into competition with Russia and England by unbalancing the world distribution of powers england found (like the usa wrongly does today) the optimum for commercial gains. The British Americans took this to the ultimate test, and created a purely middle class civilization – escaping both church and state – preserving the germanic rule of law, and individual sovereignty. And while england created empire, germany created science, we created opportunity and productivity, and the rest is history.
