Young people were more tied to their families and communities, but that was because they were BROKE and there were no decent jobs. I see the same behavior in the Millennial problems of today the problems of these places 20 years ago. Eking out an existence, living in the parents’ basement. Actually it is probably better than that in the US in a lot of cases now. But in Italy and Argentina things are generally worse.”—Michael Churchill

    (FB 1548948034 Timestamp) IQ AND WHY SMART PEOPLE AREN’T OFTEN RICH (from elsewhere)(archive) (or “wealth is a middle class occupation”) I think Molyneux did a pretty good job. Here is what I said in response to Taleb: —(a) g measures what we attempt to measure (b) chance of success corresponds to a distribution of traits, (c) plus the utility of those traits, in service of the population under the bell curve within 1 SD.— Which is the only answer that matters, and is something we have known for decades – it’s covered in the Millionaire Mind books and related research. But to an economists it’s fairly obvious. Smart folk don’t amass money that often because we already HAVE an asset. Smart people don’t need anything else to compete. They don’t need anything else to signal with. (I mean, ask andy how easy it is to intimidate, humiliate, or shut down the average person (idiot)) In fact, if you are very intelligent the skill we must learn is now NOT to make people feel stupid, humiliated, or shut down. So a little more color on the subject: People most likely to gain wealth are in the middle and upper middle classes. People least likely to gain wealth are in the lower classes. Our ‘aristocracy’ today tends to consist of relatively invisible academic financial and political families, rather than wealth for this reason. We live in a middle class VISIBLE world but with an INVISIBLE aristocracy. Why? Because you need to (a) be interested in (and not bored by) something (b) there are some number of people interested in, and (c) most people that you can serve are in the middle 2/3 of the curve. So knowing those OPERATIONAL RULES we would expect shortage at the bottom, a steep climb to 2/3, and shortage at the top. Which is what Taleb’s chart shows us. I mean, smart people have MANY, MANY Possible ways of being ‘successful’ (subjectively). For example: I can tell fairly easily that Andy Curzon and Noam Chomsky, or that category of people who can read anything and speak nine or ten languages – all have higher IQ’s than I do. And I can enumerate what each can do that is superior. My particular thing is that I don’t make mistakes, at the cost of limited lateral associations. I remember pretty much everything at the cost of short term memory. And I have trouble with more than one project at a time. But I will absolutely figure out any problem period, … given time to figure it out on my terms. These are not positive academic traits (rate of learning unrelated things, making one an exceptional manager, executive in every field), they are very positive lifetime traits (getting comparative advantage ‘right’ in high risk propositions.) So, for example, as Higgs (Higgs boson) said “I would never get hired by a university today because I work slowly”. And we are creating a large number of ‘sufficiently successful’ college graduates that find safety in jobs that are extra market (which is why you used to go to college – to find income outside of market forces – particularly government, law, medicine, and teaching). So Taleb’s observation is statistically truth and operationally false. Which is pretty much what I try to teach people: any claim that cannot be stated in operational language, is an act of fraud. So for example, no matter what I did,assuming we both invested in it, Andy would defeat me at chess (permutations of states), and Chomsky can give a long running detailed explanation of phenomenon without hesitation in search of words or phrasing (depth (or durability of short term memory) of ‘narrator, observer, searcher’ abilities – which is something that fascinates me). Because while I can undrestand it and imagine doing it I can’t do it – at least for any length of time – long enough time to complete with people like Andy, Chomsky, and say Stephen Fry is someone who comes to mind because of his lateral thinking ability. But here is the thing. Smart people (and I know very many of them) EXIT THE MARKET and live ‘normie lives’ because everything they can possibly want is obtainable under ‘normie’ conditions, an they can devote their spare time to their interests.

The right has known for hundreds of years how to remove enemies. The issue isnt the application of force or the tactics involved. Its the balls to act [in concert at scale]. We suffer from either inaction or over action. People who want to sit around all day and hash and rehash and do nothing, or people who lash out in all directions and only accomplish getting their name on a federal watchlist and local police radars. Utilizing left wing tactics doesn’t give us any ground, it only dilutes any attempts at meaningful change.”—Dylan Knowles Organized. Concerted. Effort.

    (FB 1548986693 Timestamp) —“WHY CAN’T YOU SAY PROPERTARIANISM SIMPLY”– Right, so, I can…. Propertarianism consists of a collection of ideas, the most fundamental of which is the completion of the scientific method and its application to all fields, resulting in a universally commensurable, universally explicable, language of ethics, law, politics, economics, and group evolutionary (survival) strategies. Because of the combination of language and means of testing that language, we can produce a formal law that allows us to complete the jeffersonian project (constitutionalism), restore libel and slander, and extend the prosecution of fraud from commerce to financial, economic, legal, and political speech. With this extremely intolerant law we can restore our civilization to its historic group strategy of high trust and high velocity and high relative prosperity with rule of law under sovereignty, reciprocity, truth, duty, the natural law, and markets in all aspects of life – and purge marxists, postmodernists, feminists from all walks of life as well as depoliticize, definancialize, decentralize, our commons, and restore the civil society. This will, implemented as formal logic of law, within a formal constitution written in that law, use the market incentive to prosecute these information-criminals and rapidly restore our way of life, including the restoration of the laboring, working, and middle classes. If you want me to teach you the technique of how to produce that law as ‘algorithmic law’ then you’re gonna need a class to do it. That’s because you cannot imagine the depth of the rabbit hole that this method results in, and how many ideas roll out of it, or how much you will change by undrestanding it. Otherwise that’s it. ;) Now, what you said about darwin was that organisms survived by adapting to local circumstances. What you didn’t say about Darwin is that (a) it’s undirected (b) it’s reproduction not survival, (c) local adaptation often leads to dead ends. (d) the only direction is increasing complexity. … and a hundred other meaningful things that stop people from misinterpreting it. So that’s the issue. I said above what I said, but god knows what kinda idiocy people will come up with when they read it. Hence “it’s complicated”. lol Cheers and thanks for being ‘demanding’ but intellectually honest.

(AND ONE THAT CAN EXIST) —“man is the only god, and only if he makes himself into one.”— Curt Doolittle —“Sir, help me to understand this, from your own experience and I understand that truth is objective, no lies anymore like you keep saying, how can one make himself into a god? Thank you. Please make it practical for me”—Kofi Kofi – I am sorry to confuse you. It is very simple really: we (mankind) are slowly making ourselves from beasts, into men, into ‘demi-gods’, and into ‘gods’. Not as individuals, but together as humanity. One day at a time one year at a time, we slowly painfully with very much suffering, create power over the plants and animals, over ourselves, over the earth, and over the forces of nature. Our gods our just our visions of ourselves. And we are making ourselves into the gods we imagine. SOme of us imaging good gods, and some of us a bad gods. But we all evolve into the gods we imagine. Love to you my brother. Let me know if I must say more. —“Thank you, you should explain to me what a god is. And what constitutes good or bad god”— What constitutes a good or bad man? What constitutes a man who is good from a man that can DO good? What constitutes people who think and feel they are good, from a people who do good? There is a difference from thinking you are good, being good, doing good, and making a nation of good people, doing good. (to be continued….

    (FB 1549378929 Timestamp) Let me help you. The only people that matter are the military. And of the people in the military the only people that matter are the junior officers and enlisted men. The strategy must be to offer a constitutional solution that satisfies both republican and democratic members of the military (because there are very few liberals) and preserves the military in current form, with reforms requested by the military but prevented by the state. In other words, the constitutional solution has to ‘restore rule of law, and law and order, a civil society, the role of the military in the government, solve the problems of definancialization, de politicization, decentralization, restoration of truth in the commons, educational reform, social reform, legal reform, criminal reform. Any ordinary person will take our new constitution at the expense of voluntary disassociation.

    (FB 1549377883 Timestamp) It’s a very simple difference. Agency vs Submission. Heathens (Pagans in the pejorative) in western civilization are imagined heroes in competition with the spirits(dead), non-humans(green man, primitive man), demigods(powerful but mortal), and gods (powerful and immortal), and can, by effort and cunning outwit them – or – negotiate (bribe) them. This is a universal artifact of the conquest and replacement of european peoples by the westward expansion of the indo-europeans (Yaman, Corded ware et al) and their Militaristic, Expansionist, Sky Worshipping, Metalsmithing, business of profiting from the domestication of animal man, with horse, bronze, wheel and their very visible power over nature. It is a religion of agency not submission. Demand for a “religion of empires” increases with the distribution of peoples under rule, and the group strategies of those people under rule, and the compatibilities of those group’s strategies under such a universal rule. The semitic methodology of INVERTING the aristocratic (western) ethos by converting the bible of greco roman civilization (iliad of homer) which occupied the vast majority of writings in the greco roman period, with a ‘hero’ of ‘submission and resistance’ was an interesting strategy by which the vast underclasses of the old european (byzantine), and greco-anatolian, syrian levantine world could create a resistance movement by the cultural destruction of their superiors, Just as the Marxists (Marx, Boas, Freud, Cantor, Mises, Adorno et al, Rothbard, and the neocons) repeated 1700 years later (monopoly marxism of private property, monopoly marxism of common property, monopoly marxism of identity-property (culture)). The Semitic method of undermining was as successful in the Modern world (undermining colonialism) as it was in the ancient world (undermining colonialism). False promise of salvation after death. False promise of economic salvation. False promise of cultural (identity) salvation. The method of using sophism (false promise + sophism (Pilpul) + Straw Manning (Critique) is in fact a successful method of undermining a civilization that is overwhelmed by overextension, and profiting from overextension through commerce, and the dependence of commerce at international scales on trust. Christianity succeeded because trade collapsed in europe after (a) undermining by jewish-christian vanguard, (b) enforcement by byzantine (old world, greek) defeat of rome, and (c) collapse of world trade under arab-muslim expansion, (d) and the eventual consumption of all capital of the great civilizations of the ancient world, and the destruction of all those civilizations as a consequence. So, as trade and knowledge increased, europeans gradually (expectedly) extracted themselves from Semitic superstition, the church’s’ monopoly on information and literacy, the 50% of dead capital in europe under the church. and the corruption of the church as a monopoly federal government selling false receipts of salvation the way the current academy sells false diplomas. Given that the remains of Christianity are what leave us vulnerable to Semiticism (abrahamic monotheism, marxism-socialism-postmodernism-feminism, and the use of false promise, sophism, straw-manning, and the discount on disapproval, shaming, ridicule, moralizing, rallying as a substitute for truthful (scientific, rational) argument. It is only logical that the aristocratic right in Europe (using literary philosophy, moralism, and history) and aristocratic right in the States (using law and, economics, and science) should produce arguments to restore our native religion of the hearth to one that is heroic and expansionary rather than submissive and assisting in our surrender. Nothing in human behavior or history is difficult. It’s all simple. Once you understand that nearly all use of language is simply means of lying in order to obtain discounts on the acquisition of the power to alter the probability of outcomes in one’s favor. And all we do is search for narratives to echo (script). Curt Doolittle The Propertarian Institute Kiev, Ukraine https://arktos.com/2018/10/31/alain-de-benoist-paganism-and-the-neo-christian-west/
