    TWITTER LIMITATIONS ON IDEAS

    —“Can you finish your posts on Twitter?”–RD Hyker

    Most of my Tweets are automatically posted to twitter from FB. Twitter does not permit long form, and the vast majority of my serious posts are in the 500-1500 character range (250-750 words), with important ones in the 3500-5000 character range. If twitter allowed 4k posts (it should) rather than Tweets I would post full content there instead of just links.

    Sort of Journalistic rules of thumb.
    – 250 words to sympathize
    – 500 to inform
    – 750 to make a point by context
    – 1500 for an argument within context
    – 4500 for an analysis (set of arguments)
    – 10000 for a treatment (20 pages)
    In general you can say most anything in twenty pages – which is why the book industry and the paper industry exist. You can’t sell a paper but you can sell a book, so books consist of either one paper and a lot of fluff, or multiple papers.

    If a worthwhile CONVERSATION begins on twitter I will post a series of responses there, then consolidate them on FB in a single post, which will be auto-posted to twitter yet again.

    ON MARRIAGE, CHILDREN, HAPPINESS, AND THE WAR AGAINST US

    What, that women will be happier if they have kids younger, and have more of them? I think [Molyneux is] just stating what the data says. Married people with children are happier. Although it might be that they’re simply better people in the first place, and that’s what better people do.

    —“Married people are happier perhaps because happier people are more likely to get married. Never thought of that did you? Thought not.”–@adambutler65

    Of course I did:
    –Although it might be that they’re simply better people in the first place, and that’s what better people do.–

    —“No you didn’t. You were saying that women and married people are happier *because* they have kids. So what about married people who think they’d be happier without kids? Or who can’t have kids? They are lesser “better people”? Your argument and world view fall apart. Goodbye.”—@adambutler65

    Yes it is what I said. I just also said that better people were happier. And you can’t bear being told to your face that you’re not only dead weight on the planet and mankind, but undesirable, and a lesser human. Conversely you could learn to be a better person by working at it.

    Children teach you to be unselfish, collective, and productive, in exchange for insurance against the decline of energy, ability, social and economic market value in maturity and old age.

    I don’t make errors. It’s my job – to compensate for the industrialization of sophism pseudoscience fictionalism, and deceit, manufactured to sell hyperconsumption to you, in the ancient war of the underclasses against their betters, by the promulgation of envy.

    BTC has market cap equal to a speculative technology company. What will Apple correct to with iphone purchases abate? What happens to all overpriced tech stocks? Because BTC are a share of STOCK in the BTC network. This is the optimum use of BTC technology: eliminating the stock markets and their trading fees: ie; “fractional trade of interest in title.”

    Excuse making and evidence are two different things:

    – The tech is open to monopolization.
    – The tech is easily open to state seizure.
    – The assets are stolen all the time.
    – The tokens aren’t insurable by the insurer of last resort.
    – The tech is fragile.
    – The usability is sh*t and appears unsolvable.
    – The transaction time is waaaay too long for widespread use.
    – The data storage scheme is waaaay to big for widespread use.
    – There is no means for expiration or consolidation of fractional amounts.
    – The entry and exit points require real world conversions to real world currencies (torrents do not).

    What will happen is what I said will happen: states will move to the next monetary system, which is direct access to treasury, tagged money (tracable), using high response time, redundant, central data stores, taxed per transaction rather than requiring organizations to collect taxes.

    AFAIK BTC was developed for the purpose of simplifying the drug and arms trade. That is how it will be prosecuted. Because the state will mandate its own currency as it does now. Every state will do so out of necessity of protecting state financing.

    Furthermore the internet will be balkanized within the next ten to twenty years (if not sooner by china), ending the open borders unregulated wild west of the internet exchange of information – largely because it is in tolerable for authoritarian countries to permit political competition on the western model. It will happen in china first then russia, then it will spread from there.

  • A HARD LESSON FOR CONSERVATIVES – IF YOU WANT TO WIN Most of what you hear from

    A HARD LESSON FOR CONSERVATIVES – IF YOU WANT TO WIN

    Most of what you hear from conservatives is a reflection of how conservatives, think: “wait and see”, which is the conservative cognitive disposition. That’s the opposite of the left’s cognitive disposition: seize every opportunity for parasitism and kleptocracy. This is why conservatives lose unless consensus is reached. And this is why I was convinced we would need:
    – a moral license (done)
    – a set of demands (pretty much done)
    – a means of transition (done)
    – a means of insurrection (done)

    Honestly, all I hear is “uncertainty” which means ‘fear’ from pussies. If you’re a conservative it means you want to be in control. Well, you’re not in control. And you’re not getting any form of change that you’re in control of. You’re getting change that is POSSIBLE, where the result is governable, by institutional means, meaning – by process of legislation and regulation under a constitution of natural law.

    You aren’t in control of anything. The only way you will GET control of our polity is to SURRENDER TO THE PACK and together, regardless of your thoughts, opinions, wants, and fears, pursue tactical ends in concert with others, where your function is the success in a series of missions that contribute to the achievement of the whole.

    So what can you do?

    Man up.
    Shut up.
    Show up.
    Fight.
    Make and Take Damage.
    Make and Take Casualties.
    And we win.

    We pay the cost slowly in our extinction or quickly in our victory.

    How do you want to pay the cost?

    By loss or victory.

    So they are correct. Cognitive behavioral therapy is just the stoic method with epicurean goals, rather than the supernatural (prayer), supernormal (buddhist), ritual activity (sinic) alternatives.

    Look: I’m not religious. I don’t pray. But I support people who do pray offering prayers. It’s wrong to mock a sincere expression of grief and support.

    However: Blaming a *lack* of prayer for violence or sickness? That’s evil nonsense, and everyone should call it out.

  • THE CYCLES OF HISTORY History does demonstrate a set of cycles, and it’s rather

    THE CYCLES OF HISTORY
    History does demonstrate a set of cycles, and it’s rather obvious and many people have written about them and they tend to be the great syntopical historians. Economics has made history more intelligible. And most of us study economic history – not literary – because of it.

    So, (a) we began local speciation , (b) the end of the ice age provided a food advantage (c) cows provided a 40% food advantage, (d) horse, bronze, and wheel with cows provided an extraordinary competitive advantage – at least across the eurasian plain with high production per square mile at high cost of defense and high cost of transport. Conversely, the flood river valleys provided an advantage with high concentration of production per square mile, at low cost of defense and low cost of transport. And the desert, steppe, and tundra provided low productivity per square mile, high cost of transport, and because of that the inability to produce concentrations of capital necessary for state formation, and the returns on capital commons.

    While this describes only a triangular model of geographic dependence, all others fit on this triangle somewhere, sufficiently to explain the differences.

    If we add homogeneity and heterogeneity of populations we see that homogeneous populations in the far east and far west were more successful than heterogenous populations in the center – although most of the races and cultures of the middle east have been eradicated over time, the Arab, Iranic, and North african remain. The turks arrived from mongolia fairly recently, the original caucasians and anatolians are almost lost to us.

    And it is rational and demonstrable that between the geography, demography, and social order at the Age of Transformation (state formation, empire formation, religion formation, civilization formation) that we developed at that point and persisted various grammars (paradigms, and attendant logics) that are expressions of our strategies, our laws that enforce them, and the narratives that justify them.

    MAN REMAINS A DARWINIAN ANIMAL
    We all follow Racial, civilizational, national, class, gender, and individual moral intuitions, which are nothing more than our genetic demand for persistence at lowest cost to us: greatest return in the shortest time at the lowest cost at the least risk with the greatest certainty.

    Now, a simpleton like you might come here and expect to learn everything from a drive by but the purpose of my work is to end the industrialization of lying, and the second attempt at an abrahamic dark age, thereby repeating the past.

    TRUTH IS ENOUGH
    Truth is enough.
    Reciprocity is enough.
    The law is enough.
    We are enough.

    The semi-domesticated animals are found not worth domesticating.

    Revolt, Separate, Prosper, Speciate.

    If this cannot be done peacefully.
    We will do it by non peaceful means.

  • RECIPROCITY: WE WILL BURN IT INTO THE STONE OF HISTORY SO THAT YOUR IRRECIPROCIT

    RECIPROCITY: WE WILL BURN IT INTO THE STONE OF HISTORY SO THAT YOUR IRRECIPROCITY NEVER OCCURS AGAIN.

    —“There are no laws of nature. Irreciprocity is not a law of nature. How do you explain the implacable irreciprocity of a consuming black hole”—

    (Yes, I realize this is too stupid for words, but let’s use it as a vehicle for an important lesson on the Natural Law of Cooperation: Reciprocity, which is an extension of the Law of Nature: Entropy, Naturalism, Realism.)

    The physical world equilibrates (Entropy). It does not engage in reciprocity. The reason being it cannot choose to cooperate or not.

    Humans can choose always to (a) evade, (b) cooperate with, (c) prey upon, one another.

    Because of this ability we can (a)obtain the benefits of cooperation, (b) prey upon one another if we cannot, and (c) avoid those who would defeat us if we cannot survive the conflict.

    But because we have these wonderful things called memories we can also engage in credit and debt relations, presuming that minor ir-reciprocities accumulate in reciprocity. And we willingly participate in the production of commons within the limits of proportionality.

    But because we can be easily deceived, by abrahamic prose, with false promises of credit or debit, reward or punishment, then we can also cheat one another – fooling some people some of the time, for a short time, and many people most of the time for a long time – and everything in between.

    This is why we demonstrate altruistic punishment: we punish irreciprocity, and disproportionality, and we do so no matter the cost, no matter how high the cost, because the possibility of a cheater amongst our midst the imitation of whom would lead to collapse of cooperation and the returns on cooperation is untenable for any cooperative (social) population.

    What do you think the means of retaliation for attempted genocide, politicide culture-cide, civlization-cide will be?

    Because you do not get to CHOOSE the value other people attach to race, nation, clan and kin, or political order, or civilizational or strategy for dragging mankind out of ignorance, poverty, mysticism, disease, hard labor, and dysgenia.

    There is only a common good until there isn’t.
    There isn’t
    So separate or war.
    I prefer war.
    Because I want to make certain that we burn it into the stone of history SO that your irreciprocity never occurs again.

    No matter where you go or what you do, your ancestor’s expression of their cumulative decisions is with you in your genes, and your genes create your sexual, social, economic, and political market value. You aren’t and weren’t oppressed. You were, and are, domesticated animals.

    @StefanMolyneux It’s working. 😉 Feminism is a resistance movement by unattractive women, who over invest in sophistry, which is why conservative women are better looking and have more children. Like Antifa is a resistance movement by upper proletarians privileged with middle class consumption.

    Forgotten however, is that women also evolved to carry a cognitive load – what we call ‘worry’ – and that the reason for negative expression of their hyperconsumption, is that their cognitive load isn’t satisfied by the purpose of that demand for consumption – their children.

    @StefanMolyneux Women evolved a sensitivity to, and excitement from, attention – especially envy, as a means of testing their status. They seek this status by either fertility (body), dominance (behavior), or hyperconsumption. The attention is an insatiable good – if they can’t compete by merit.
