  • REVOLUTIONARY CHANGE REQUIRES VERY SMALL POPULATIONS The only large scale study

    REVOLUTIONARY CHANGE REQUIRES VERY SMALL POPULATIONS

    The only large scale study I’ve seen is that it’s 1.6% gay, and .7% b/t. It’s just a highly politically active community. (Where did this nonsense rate of homosexuality being 11% come from? )

    The jewish population is about the same, between 1.6 and 2.2% depending upon which question is asked.

    Together they are less than 5% of the population

    Jewish outbreeding is around 58% in total, and over 75% for non practitioners. Now, the media is saturated with both, but the point I want to make is that these are very small populations.

    Revolutions require only small populations.

  • Philosophy Has Been a Catastrophic Failure

    The problem is, that by and large, philosophy has been a catastrophic failure, and arguably has done far more harm than good, while science has been a profound success. Why? Because the difference between philosophizing and theorizing, is that science includes a process for conducting due diligence against error, bias, wishful-thinking, fictionalism (pseudoscience, pseudo-rationalism, supernaturalism) and deceit, and philosophy provides means of justifying error, bias, wishful-thinking, fictionalism and deceit. Philosophy appears in practice to consist largely of sophisms and justifications that like numerology and astrology (or Pilpul and Critique), can construct fallacious arguments in favor of anything imaginable. In this sense philosophy in retrospect appears as little more that either the literature of moral fiction, or the literature of upper middle class appeal for changes to the status quo. In other words, the only difference between religion and philosophy is the same as the difference between numerology and astrology: the justification for an arbitrary means of decidability completely discontiguous with reality. As an economist and theorist in testimony (truthful speech) a non-cursory review of history leads one to the rather obvious conclusion that most philosophers were engaged in acts of fraud. Socrates (or Marxist Critique) and Plato (or Rabbinical Pilpul), against Aristotle (evidence), Machiavelli (evidence), Bacon (empiricism), Darwin and Maxwell (science). One is far better off studying the evolution of the disciplines rather than the secular theology of philosophers — particularly the germans, who, Kant having supplied an artifice of nonsense by which to excuse Rousseau’s nonsense, send the entire germanic world into nothing but secular version of christianity.

    YOU JUST CAN”T UNDERSTAND OUR HIGHEST RULE

    —“Why won’t America hand over the Turkish priest?”— A Well Meaning Turkish Muslim.

    NO. AND THIS IS SOMETHING YOU CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND.

    The west is built on one principle and one principle only, and a principle that is 3500 years old: INDIVIDUAL SOVEREIGNTY.

    From individual sovereignty comes reciprocity truth and duty.

    From reciprocity truth and duty comes our high trust civilization.

    From our high trust civilization comes our commons.

    From our commons comes our ability to out-compete all other civilizations.

    WE NEVER VIOLATE THIS RULE.

    Which is what you will never ever understand.

    THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE.

    Unless he has committed a crime by our standards, and we are sure that his sovereignty will be preserved by our standards, and as such he will be tried by our standards, then we cannot break our rule.

    We hold to this rule even to our detriment. Just as we hold to speaking the truth to our detriment. Just as we avoid imposing costs upon the commons to our detriment. Just as we avoid even petty crime to our detriment.

    THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE. Because the legitimacy of our government is dependent ONLY upon this rule. Our entire way of life is dependent upon this rule and only this rule.

  • To State the Obvious We Are Collapsing Exactly as Did Rome.

      —“Which historical empire collapse do you see as most similar to our current situation? Mongols? Rome? Habsburg’s? Something else? Or are we so different nothing is really analogous?”—@dagmar_schmitt The study of history tells us all empires collapse for the same reasons: overextension, bureaucratic calcification (rent seeking), demographics dilution and immigration, (disease), and raiding. However, in our case we are most similar to Rome (policing trade to obtain discounts) and less similar to the British (colonies and extraction to obtain premiums). Not really similar at all to the Habsburgs or Mongols or byzantines for that matter. This subject is worth a case by case examination, but we are mirror image of Rome in every single dimension. History does repeat itself. Although what troubles me is the second version of abrahamism (marxism, feminism, postmodernism). We failed to defend against it this time too.

  • Pervert, Perversion – These Are Moral Terms, Not Scientific. But….

    These terms – “pervert and perversion” – are moral terms (shaming) used (evolved) in the pre-scientific eras, to inarticulately describe the normative, traditional, institutional and genetic costs of loss-inducing behavior and genetics. Those costs exist. The question is only whether or not we can afford them (temporally), and if we can afford them, what are the unseen costs of affording them(inter-temporally)? Diversity (normative, cultural, and religious) is disastrously costly over the long term. Tolerance turns out to be a terrible idea. The most intolerant group always wins. So the question isn’t the use of these moral terms (perversion, tolerance, diversity) it’s the scientific (economic) fully accounted costs that replace those moral (imprecise) terms with scientific (precise) terms. As far as I know the principle difference between the standards of living of people is cultural, and the reason for cultural differences is genetic, and the reason for genetic differences is in the scale of the underclasses. And the scale of the underclasses force the norms, traditions, culture, and institutions of the group by dragging them down to the median. It may be true that in the period of transition from subsistence farming to market economies in the industrial era, that we can afford many luxuries of tolerance, but it is increasingly obvious that once technological differences are equilibrated, that the standard of every group of people is determined by the size of their underclass in relation to their middle and upper classes. And worse, it’s increasingly apparent that this trend will continue and keep pace with the gains in reasoning ability that we obtained from the institution of aristotelianism (scientific thought). Meaning that the current employment concerns that can be solved by credit expansion will end shortly, and the only competitive advantage and therefore standard of living of any group will be determined by their genetic distribution relative to other genetic distributions, and the normative, traditional, cultural, and institutional means by which those different groups cooperate. Ergo, pretentious virtue signaling talk alluded to in the original post is nothing more than failing to account for costs both seen, unseen, temporal and intertemporal. There are no free rides. Only temporary gains and losses, the accumulation of which must in the end limit itself to that balance sheet we call the universe.

    PEOPLE DON”T WANT TO GIVE POWER OF LIFE AND DEATH TO MACHINES…. HERE IS WHY.

    To take a life we demand warranty (accountability) and machines escape it. The only form of restitution for life is life. One may take no action beyond one’s ability to perform restitution. So demand for a life to take a life. Legal Prose Merely Reflects Moral Intuitions.

    Evolution gave us moral intuitions. we describe those moral intuitions via natural law. It’s very simple really.
