    This is correct. (As usual.) We could retrace the steps back to around seven hundred to further reinforce the argument.

    More for those that are interested:
    The insight that protestantism was reactionary is a bit painful to admit but it’s true that while the church’s corruption was pervasive and against the interests of the northern localities, doubling down on fundamentalism took protestantism away from the natural law program and the use of dogma and theology instead. The family structure of northern europe, it’s restoration of trade, the independence of the cities, the weakness of the holy roman empire (federation), and the rise of literacy were more important in the re-ascendence of europe than was protestantism. In other words, Max Weber had it backwards.
    In America the protestant church was highly participatory, and essentially a debate forum for the construction of consensus. This was probably useful. And unfortunately the tradition was lost. Because it was lost, we failed to produce a competitor to the postwar capture of education by the marxist sequence.
    But we are still suffering from the combination of the failure of the catholic church to produce another Aquinas during the industrial revolution and fully transform once again with more emphasis on natural law and its harmony with christian ethics and morality and thus complete the transformation to a european religion – and the doubling down of american protestant christian fundamentalism that is preventing a synthesis, and the capture of the academy by the marxist sequence of seditions against christianity as well as the philosophical traditions.

    In other words, Rudyard is pretty much always right. 😉

    Cheers

    Huntington was right but insufficient: we are entering the conflict of civilizations, the conflict of races, conflict of religion and cultures externally, and the conflict of classes and the conflict of sexes internally, and this has overwhelmed our capacity to coordinate and cooperate by reciprocal rules across sexes, classes, races, cultures AND civilizations.

    Innovation and adaptation require a generally commensurable convergence. There is no compromise possible between extremes.

  • THE CASE AGAINST GENETIC ADMIXTURE (Don’t shoot the messenger) The importance of

    THE CASE AGAINST GENETIC ADMIXTURE
    (Don’t shoot the messenger)
    The importance of racial homogeneity increases with evolutionary neoteny and it’s advantages. In other words it benefits less neotenic peoples but harms more neotenic peoples.
    Races are not equal in genetic expression. Lower neoteny expresses more so than higher neoteny. IQ mirrors racial admixture for the same reason. As such it’s much harder to express ‘white’ than it is south eurasian, southeast asian, african or the various hybrids. So the one-drop rule might be excessive, but not very.
    There are four primary races from four speciation events. In neotenic order from least to most they are: african(East Africa), south eurasian (Dry Persian Gulf), european (European Ice Age), and east asian (probably tibetan stepp combined with old north coastal migration). Everyone else is a hybridization of those four. And prior to the agrarian revolution each was as different as africans europeans and east asians. Additionally, the first ‘out of africa’ generation along the coastal route from yemen to india to se asia, to pacifica to australia was more akin to old africans (San) than to new africans (Bantu), but there are no surviving isolates that I know of remaining. Even aboriginal australians are an admixture.
    If you don’t care about phenotypic expression you should care a LOT about IQ distributions. Because average IQ decline in a population is the absolute worst long term consequence a people can experience, and decline in intelligence is non linear.
    Europeans are the product of three groups: Native Europeans (European Hunter Gatherers), Anatolian Farmers, and European-Caucasian Steppe Herders.
    This distribution is still evident in the IQs of populations in the cline from south to north of europe: Anatolian Farmers: Turkey (86), Greece (92), Sicily (90) Sardina (92); Atlantics: france(94-96), Spain(98); and Germanics (100-101), then the north slavic and poland (96). Then the finnics in Estonia and Finland (100-101).
    At present (a) the Flynn effect is reversing (dysgenic reproduction) (b) the best people have the fewest if any children (asymmetric reproduction), (c) immigration is lowering average IQ, (d) the quality of education due to ‘equality in the classroom’ combined with women teachers is declining accordingly – the result a less capable poplation offset by import of high performing university students, technologists, researchers, and even businesspeople – effecting the economy but not the social and political order.
    So the outcome is rather obvious in the data: you cannot have a high trust western european country, with participatory democracy, technological innovation and the wealth that results from a population with an IQ much under 100. The lower the IQ the greater the demand for authoritarianism.
    And in fact, a population needs, as England did before the industrial revolution, and ashkenazi did until they outbred, an IQ over 105 and preferably over 110 to maintain intellectual, political, and economic competitive advantage and the resulting quality of life of the population.
    Because your quality of life is more dependent upon the country’s average IQ than it is your own.

    Cheers

  • HOW LONG HAS FRANCE BEEN THE ENEMY OF EUROPE? (Forever basically) –“CURT: You’v

    HOW LONG HAS FRANCE BEEN THE ENEMY OF EUROPE? (Forever basically)

    –“CURT: You’ve mentioned that France is the enemy of Europe. When did that start?”–

    Great Question
    0 – Paleolithic agrarian age Atlantics (monolith builders) vs the steppe herder expansion that conquered them.
    1 – Ancestral Venus cults of the Gaulish territory vs the masculine Germanic pagan cults.
    2 – Successful Roman conquest of Gaul but not Germania.
    3 – Latinization of Gaul during the roman administration
    4 – The division of the Carolingian Empire (843) – largely laid the groundwork for future French-German divisions, including the emergence of the Holy Roman Empire of the Germanic Peoples.
    5 – The investiture Conflict (11th-12th Centuries). A conflict between popes and Holy Roman Emperors over the right to appoint church officials and invest them with spiritual authority. Although not a direct France vs. Germania conflict, it involved significant players from both territories and highlighted the growing ideological and political divisions within Christendom, often aligning German emperors and French kings on opposing sides.
    6 – The french slaughter of the Templars (1307) by King Philip IV of France, so that the monarchy could escape his debt – as a result, handing over European banking to the Jews.
    7 – The 14th century French attempt to move the papacy, papal court, and the seat of the church to Avignon in France – including succeeding with seven successive popes. Followed by the return to italy and the Western Schism (1378-1417), a period of division within the Catholic Church where rival claimants to the Papacy in Rome and Avignon (and later Pisa) led to a split among Europe’s Christian states.
    8 – The French attack on the Rise of the Habsburgs (15th Century Onwards) that united the HRE with Spain and her territories, out of envy and little else. (After the conflicts between France and the HRE during the franco english 100 years war).
    9. The french-catholic vs germanic-protestant divide and the wars of religion.
    10. Rousseau’s ‘catholic’ rebellion against the english empirical revolution and the ango invention of tht modern rule of law state setting the chain of evnts in progress that would lead to communism.
    11. The napoleonic destruction of the holy roman empire and the monarchies of europe setting the stage for the necessity of the formation of the german state, th german attempt to recover losses to france, and the first world war.
    12: The french abuse of the WW1 treaty punishing germany despite germania being in the right throughout history – especially in it’s domestication and integration of eastern and baltic europe into the european economy and political order.
    13. The french support for jewish postmodernism as a central objective of the french academy.
    14. The french postwar undermining of the american project to prevent another world war through global trade at every opportunity.
    15. The French attempt to ‘rule europe’ especially Germany by the European union.
    16. The French attempt to unify with russia postwar only ending as putin betrayed france in 2022.
    17. The french sponsorship for multiculturalism not only in france but a demand for it across europe.

    By the late Middle Ages and into the early modern period, these factors had firmly established a complex and often antagonistic relationship between French and German territories, even if the notion of “national enemies” in a modern sense was still taking shape.

    France has a chip on its shoulder, like a spoiled child who keeps losing the game.

    Anyway, I could make this list five times as long with little effort. This is just off the top of my head.

  • FEMININE LEFTIST DECEIT: RETROACTIVE CONTINUITY, “RETCON”, SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION,

    FEMININE LEFTIST DECEIT: RETROACTIVE CONTINUITY, “RETCON”, SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION, AND SEMANTIC MANIPULATION

    Retroactive continuity, or retcon for short, is rhetorical to deceptive to fraudulent device in which facts that have been established through the evidence, essay, and narrative are adjusted, ignored, supplemented, or contradicted such that it recontextualizes or breaks continuity with the former.

    Such RETCONNING in Social Construction under postmodernism as the attempt to decrease correspondence with empiricism and increase correspondence with ideology.

    Social Construction:
    Social constructionism, particularly as expressed in postmodernist thought, amounts to a deliberate attempt to erode the primacy of empirical evidence and objective truth in favor of relativistic ideological narratives. By asserting that reality is primarily a product of social and cultural context rather than observable facts, social constructionists can justify and promote ideological agendas under the guise of academic inquiry. In this view, the claim that knowledge is ‘socially constructed’ is a way to decrease correspondence with empiricism and increase correspondence with ideology – essentially a rhetorical strategy for privileging certain political and philosophical commitments over dispassionate, evidence-based analysis.”

    Semantic Shift, Manipulation, or Engineering
    refers to the phenomenon where the meaning of a word changes over time, often due to social, cultural, or political factors.

    There are several types of semantic change:
    Broadening: When a word’s meaning becomes more inclusive or general over time.
    Narrowing: When a word’s meaning becomes more specific or restricted over time.
    Amelioration: When a word’s meaning becomes more positive over time.
    Pejoration: When a word’s meaning becomes more negative over time.
    Semantic drift: When a word’s meaning gradually shifts in a different direction over time.
    In the case of “liberal,” the term has undergone a semantic shift, particularly in the United States, where it has come to be associated with left-leaning or progressive political ideologies, rather than its original meaning related to classical liberalism, which emphasized individual rights, free markets, and limited government intervention.

    The intentional manipulation of a term’s meaning for political or ideological purposes could also be described as “semantic manipulation” or “semantic engineering.”

  • US AGRARIAN CAPACITY MAP Why were there small farms in the north and large plant

    US AGRARIAN CAPACITY MAP
    Why were there small farms in the north and large plantations in the south? Climate: North for Subsistence crops vs South for Cash Crops.

    Geographical and Climatic Conditions
    North: The Northern states have a temperate climate with shorter growing seasons and less fertile soil compared to the South. These conditions were less conducive to the cultivation of labor-intensive cash crops on a large scale. Instead, the land was more suitable for diverse, small-scale farming that produced a variety of crops and livestock, which could sustain a family and possibly generate a modest surplus for sale.

    South: The Southern states benefit from a warmer climate and longer growing seasons, along with fertile soil that is ideal for the cultivation of cash crops such as tobacco, cotton, and rice. These crops were highly labor-intensive and profitable, particularly when grown on a large scale, leading to the development of extensive plantations.

    Economic Factors
    Cash Crops vs. Subsistence Farming: The Southern economy became heavily dependent on cash crops that were in high demand in both domestic and international markets, making large-scale agricultural operations more economically viable. In contrast, the Northern economy was more diversified, including industry and small-scale agriculture that focused on subsistence and local markets.

    Labor Systems: The profitability of large plantations in the South was closely tied to the use of enslaved labor, which provided a cost-effective workforce for the labor-intensive cultivation and harvesting of cash crops. The North, with its smaller farms and diverse economy, relied more on family labor and paid workers, making large-scale plantation agriculture less common.

    Social and Political Factors
    Land Ownership Patterns: In the South, land was more readily available and often sold in large parcels, which favored the establishment of large plantations. The social and economic prestige in the South was associated with the ownership of extensive lands and the use of slave labor. In the North, land ownership patterns, inheritance laws, and a more industrialized economy encouraged smaller, family-run farms.

    Slavery: The institution of slavery was foundational to the Southern plantation system, enabling the large-scale production of cash crops. The moral, economic, and political opposition to slavery in the North led to a very different labor system and, consequently, a different agricultural model.

    These factors combined to create distinct agricultural systems in the North and South. The large plantations of the South were economically oriented towards producing a few cash crops for both domestic consumption and export, relying on a labor system based on slavery. In contrast, the North’s smaller farms were more diversified, producing a range of crops and livestock for local consumption and markets, with a labor system that increasingly moved away from slavery and towards free labor as the industrial economy grew.

    ISLAM’s FEMININE (SLAVE) FOUNDATIONS
    –“Islam fronts as a masculine culture but it is run by women – the mothers – and everything from their religion to their methods of argument to their method of bargaining, to their warfare relies on the feminine means of seduction by false promise, baiting in to hazard, sedition, and raiding, to prevent the rise of alphas (indo-europeans) and refrain from any burden of emotional regulation and behavioral adaptation – and embracing of stagnation and dysgenics. The religions of Judaism, Islam, Christianity and the marxist sequence through to postmodernism, feminism, race marsim, and woke are feminine in metaphysics, ambition, strategy and tactics. Christianity only moderated because it was germanized out of necessity, then captured by the aristocracy as a holding company for land.”– Staff Meeting.

  • SMALLER IS BETTER MEANING LOCAL IS BETTER The Principle of Subsidiarity Subsidia

    SMALLER IS BETTER MEANING LOCAL IS BETTER
    The Principle of Subsidiarity

    Subsidiarity is a principle of social organization that emphasizes dealing with social and political issues at the most immediate or local level consistent with their resolution. Here are some key points about subsidiarity:

    Definition: The Oxford English Dictionary defines subsidiarity as “the principle that a central authority should have a subsidiary function, performing only those tasks which cannot be performed at a more local level” 1. In other words, it suggests that decisions and actions should be handled by the smallest, most relevant unit of organization.

    Application:Government: Subsidiarity applies to governance, advocating that decisions should be made at the local level whenever possible.

    Business: It also extends to management and organizational structures.

    Military: In military command (referred to as mission command), it emphasizes decentralized decision-making.

    Origins:The concept has roots in natural law philosophy, particularly from the works of Thomas Aquinas.
    Luigi Taparelli, SJ, a social scientist, further developed the idea in his treatise on the human person in society.
    Calvinist law-philosopher Johannes Althaus also contributed to the concept.

    Catholic Social Teaching: Subsidiarity is a fundamental principle in modern Catholic social teaching.
    It promotes the idea that decisions should be made at the most local level possible, respecting individual autonomy and community participation.

    European Union Law: Subsidiarity is a general principle in European Union law.
    It ensures that decisions are made at the appropriate level, balancing central authority with local autonomy.

    United States Constitution: The Supremacy Clause in the U.S. Constitution establishes federal law’s precedence over state laws.
    The Tenth Amendment reinforces the principle of States’ Rights, allowing states to make decisions not explicitly delegated to the federal government 2.

    In summary, subsidiarity encourages decentralized decision-making, empowering local communities and organizations to address issues effectively. 🌍🏛️

    YES THERE IS A DOCUMENTED VIRGIN BIRTH
    –“Is there an actual confirmed/documented case of parthenogenesis (virgin birth) in humans?”–

    Well, we assumed it wasn’t possible, and we weren’t looking for it. And it’s only recently that the possibility’s been accepted. So far, like most things, we only know of it by outliers instead of otherwise normal children. So we know it’s possible but until there is widespread genetic testing of otherwise ordinary appearing babies we won’t be able to measure the frequency.
    I suspect it’s rare but not THAT rare, especially for girls.

    HERE:
    There is one documented case of a natural half-parthenogenetic birth: In 1995, British geneticists reported the remarkable case of a young boy whose body is derived in part from an unfertilized egg.
    This boy, referred to as FD, has some unique genetic features:
    White Blood Cells: FD’s white blood cells contain two X chromosomes, which is the chromosomal signature of a female. However, they lack any Y chromosome material, which is typically present in males.
    Skin vs. Blood: Interestingly, FD’s skin is genetically different from his blood. His skin contains the normal X and Y chromosomes of a typical male.
    Identical X Chromosomes: In both his skin and blood cells, FD’s X chromosomes are identical and derived entirely from his mother.
    The researchers believe that FD’s development began when an unfertilized egg self-activated and started dividing.
    This extraordinary case provides a rare glimpse into the control of human development and the evolutionary changes that made sex essential for mammalian reproduction.

  • I wrote a post today on why no single system of government alone sufficed. Likew

    I wrote a post today on why no single system of government alone sufficed. Likewise, no wisdom literature on its own suffices.
    The reasons are simple: precision, potential, adaptability, and rate of innovation and adaptation.
    So in the hierarchy of wisdom literatures, and their underlying paradigms and logics, the rate of innvation and adaptation is determined by the precision potential and adaptability of that paradigm.
    |Logical Paradigms|: Embodiment > Anthropomorphism > Mythology > Theology > Proto-philosophy > Rational Philosophy > Empiricism > Science > Operationalism. With each more precise and explanatory than the previous.
    Conversely, the degree of neotenic evolution (IQ) of the population limits the precision and potential and adaptability they can tolerate and as such the paradigm and logic they can make use of.
    So Africa has the lowest IQ and relies on disorganized magic. MENA has the next lowest IQ and relies on organized supernatural mythology (theology). India has the next lowest IQ and developed class based religion mirroring the distribution of duty in a military order. China and Europe broke the 100 IQ barrier. So China developed Proto-philosophy and bureaucracy but failed at science and law. Europeans developed law and government, and from there, philosophy proper, geometry, empiricism, science, calculus, operationalism and computation.
    There are only three means of coercing and therefore organizing people: 1) seduction/ostracization(social, religion), 2) remuneration/boycott (trade, property law), 3) defense/force (state, military).
    And all civilizations demonstrate path dependence – the first is the most influential institution, the second less so and the third either fails or has the least influence.
    But of these, religion is the least adaptive, state the next least adaptive, and property law the most adaptive.
    So, the combination of (a) the IQ of the population (b) the founding institution (c) and the sequence of institutions determines the destiny of the civilization.
    The indo european revolution was the most important since the agrarian revolution. It ended the primitvism and stagnation of the flood river valley civilizations.
    The european people were largely replaced because of the small size and population of europe. The eastern indo europeans conquered the indus and India but had to create the cast system to preserve their genetic advantage. The persians were able to create victory and repeatedly expand but the ‘old’ civilizations had ‘lesser stock’ to work with, and already had a religion and institutions so the Indian method and the European method could not work.
    So no. The Indo europeans, then the europeans alone, dragged mankind out of ignorance, superstition, hard labor, poverty, starvation, disease, child mortality, early death, tyranny, and victimization by nature that tries to exterminate mankind with disturbing regularity.
    And you are ungrateful for the vast gifts we have given you.
    That is why we are going home.
    That is why, like before we will send you home.
    That is why like the Chinese we will build a wall.
    Because the Chinese are right.
    You are a curse upon this earth.
    A mental disease.
    The source of ignorance, superstition, deceit, decline, and dysgenia.
    If there is a devil.
    His name is Allah, Jehova, God: cancer.

    Cheers.
