I have a “singy” family. I’m a “singy” person. No shower is safe. No empty house or apartment. No vacant sidewalk, or hiking trail. Bluesy rock preferably. The more complicated the better.
Singing more than a few notes to remind others of a theme, violates etiquette during conversation, whether at the table or in the round. (You can look it up.) The reason being, that with a captive audience, one forces attention upon one’s self and interrupts conversation amongst others. It’s a dominance expression. It’s a form of aggression. Because singing is a form of soliloquy – internal voice – that is fine alone, or when it won’t interrupt anyone’s thoughts or speech, or while working together, or at invitation, or when organized by a group, or when that is the purpose of the forum. In other words, when it is not a dominance expression.
Most of us would like to share our emotions by sharing the songs that remind us of evoking them – except that few if any of us share those emotions via the same melody. And among musicians it’s not uncommon to hum or sing a few notes as a part of a conversation. But there is a difference between sharing our emotions and imposing them. Music is precognitive.
Myself, I am extremely intolerant of dominance expressions and I have an OCD problem in that I can only tolerate so much ‘stupid’ or ‘mundane’ speech, or ‘pretentious sentimentality’ before I subconsciously dominate conversations as a self defense measure – especially if I cannot use comedy to interrupt them. I know this. I struggle to control it. I control it when I can by leaving the room, if not the venue. As an autist it is a constant struggle against a profoundly intense impulse.
I usually ask people “Am I talking too much?”, or say “It’s ok to tell me to stop talking.” There is absolutely no way I will be aware of disinterest or incomprehension, and highly unlikely aware of offense. It’s an autist thing. We just have no idea unless that is all we are looking for.
We all have impulses in conversation that we must suppress. We all succeed or fail to varying degrees. It’s all very human. So all of us struggle to maneuver the flow of conversation into safe, familiar, or at least interesting content. And away from unsafe, unfamiliar, frustrating, conflict-creating or offensive content.
We all seek to impose order on a kaleidic universe such that we can find a satisfactory way through our lives.
So this bit of etiquette is another example of why we spend too much time with televisions and not enough time socializing – and then we wonder why the internal voice we share with close family, the television, and the walls is unwelcome in broader group context: we live lifestyles that gives us freedom to be anti-social in many subtle ways, then wondering why we don’t fit in to social situations, and end up lonely. Ergo, norms protect us from this. And we have no norms….

WESTERN GROUP EVOLUTIONARY STRATEGIES AND THE “SH-T TESTS”. Conspiracy requires
WESTERN GROUP EVOLUTIONARY STRATEGIES AND THE “SH-T TESTS”.
Conspiracy requires self awareness which in turn requires agency. Yet most hostile groups are merely advancing their group evolutionary strategy by repetition of memes having little to do with truth, and a great deal to do with utility. Western man differs from all the rest, because our group evolutionary strategy and truth and utility are identical.
This group strategy is possible if and only if one’s group is in fact SUPERIOR. Why? Because the result of truth, sovereignty, and voluntary reciprocity is the production of markets in every dimension of human relation. And those who compete and succeed in markets that require full voluntary reciprocity across time and free of retaliatory externality are empirically, scientifically, genetically superior. That is all you must know about any people. The more scientific their truth, the more sovereignty, the more exclusive their reciprocity, the greater the opportunity for contract, the more trust, the more prosperity, the more advanced technologies, and the greater utility of a people small in number to concentrate capital rather than rely on pure numbers.
And the opposite applies as well. As a westerner, you do not understand your group evolutionary strategy – you only intuit ‘good’ and ‘bad’. Other groups are the same. They don’t so much conspire as act in the self interest of their group evolutionary strategy.
So groups need not conspire so much as express a conspiracy of common interest – entirely by accident. Women do not intentionally conspire against their men – they sh_t test them constantly out of reproductive necessity, and allow those men to be conquered and replaced if they fail.
(((Other))) groups demonstrate the feminine group evolutionary strategy. Both women and (((some others))) are valuable resources. But you must not fail their sh-t tests. In other words, you are only defeated by failure to defend against the sh-t tests of your women, your economy, your polity, your civilization, the natural world, and the physical universe.
So stop failing.
Rule by truth, sovereignty, reciprocity, and markets in everything. And Break. Burn. Fight. Kill everything that interferes. That is the level of sh-t test you are operating under.
EVOLVE OR DIE.

RESTRUCTURING THE WEST FOR THE END OF 500 YEARS OF ASYMMETRIC ADVANTAGE
Trump is doing what any rational man watching the numbers would do:
The 500 years of western asymmetric economic advantage has been dissipated through the (forcible) expansion of consumer capitalism (property, incentive, contract, credit), rule of law (reciprocity free of discretionary judgement), and aristotelianism (science).
The only advantage westerners retain is demography (our IQ distribution is still hovering around 100, we have lower testosterone, greater neoteny, and slower development than anyone other than the Han/Korean/Japanese, and we are still unique in our ability to produce a high trust/low corruption economy, and low context, high precision language).
We retain some cultural advantages, but those have been under assault in the postwar period to present – particularly since the widespread adoption of postmodernism (fictionalism).
We retain some capital advantage in the conquered territories (USA, Canada, Australia) can still be sold off.
Because of these losses of asymmetry, we can no longer afford to manage, police, and adjudicate the world systems of law, finance, and trade. So we can radically withdraw and lose 40% of our standard of living (Yes really), or we can force dependent nations (Europe) to carry the burden that they’ve been free of postwar, and particularly since the adoption of the euro in order to circumvent our tax on them via the petrodollar.
We have been in a race since the adoption of fiat currency, socialism under FDR and Johnson, and postmodernism, over whether the colonial states (Anglosphere) would hold on long enough that the continental malinvestments would cause a demographic crash, resulting in a cultural, economic, and civilizational crash. We knew this in the late 70’s. I was there.
I participated in the discourse.
By 1992 we knew democratic experiment was over. The 2008 crash was the end of the 20th century experiment in keynesian extension.
Somewhere between now and 2025 the asymmetry of economic, demographic, and military power will rebalance.
So we can move today to ensure this happens somewhat gracefully by accepting our declining influence in the world, or we can do what every other empire in history has done, and that is to burn itself through neo-con and marxist overexpansion.
And that is all he is doing.
Rebalancing the costs with the wealth, and protecting the remaining capital asset in preparation for the forthcoming adjustments not seen since the abrahamic dark age caused by the twin catastrophes of supernatural christianity and militant islam as together they brought about the 1000 year abrahamic dark age.
The world is more full of overconfident but abysmally ignorant americans than it can tolerate.

THOSE OF US WHO UNDERSTAND THE CYCLES OF HISTORY ARE THE VICTIMS OF THOSE WHO DO NOT – AND SO IS OUR CIVILIZATION
The difference is, that those of us who lived in the 1980’s and 1990’s knew that we were living the best of times – perhaps the best times ever to have lived. San Fran in the 2000s, Seattle in the 1990s, Paris on the 1920’s, Germany in the 1900’s, London in the 1890’s.
2008 was the end of the keynesian experiment. It was the culmination of the attack on western civilization started by the marxists, then the economic pseudoscientists, then the jewish socialists, then the french postmodernists.
The West spent from at least 1500bc to the present developing rule of law. The bronze age collapse set us back 1000 years. The abrahamic (jewish/christian/muslim) dark age set us back 1000 years. The second abrahamic dark age ( pseudohistory, pseudoscience, pseudo rationalism) is about to set us back another thousand.
