    People Do Publicly Disassociate from The Institute
    Yes. It happens. People publically disassociate. We just had another person cave to the external pressure. John Mark, our best advocate, and marketer, who wold have been our preferred face of the institute had to disassociate when the FBI threatened his family. I would say at least three of our best people had marital or employment risks that caused them to withraw. Some others were on the fascist dispostion and we can’t sell reciprocity with imposition by totalitarianism, so they’re out.

    Most of these people who disassociate continue to actively follow and participate and practice the methods, but they avoid open social media because it puts their employment at risk. This is why telegram and signal are so popular compared to twitter. And facebook before they bent to the leftist tyrannists, gave us broader reach and the ability to discover and train more talent.

    If humans were truthful we wouldn’t need the study of truth. Humans aren’t, and thats why we have it. It’s also why the truth is so controversial: we evovled to negotiate including negotiate by deception and fraud. We didn’t evolve to negotiate truthfully. that only happens at the margins. I mean, once you study how mothers manipulate children you understand they’re largely lying in one way or another to do it – just so that children remain under their control while they develop the agency necessary for independence/

    We (I) completed the aritotelian project. It sounds nuts, but it’s simply true. But it’s about as hard to learn as the combination of behavioral econ, law, and cognitive science at the upper undergrad, or grad level, and it takes a couple of years. As long as any other degree. Brad’s a Phd for example and he works with me like a grad student would, and it’s taken him two and a half years, and he’s just become competent to write proofs on his own at this point.

    That means you have to be willing to trust that your investment will be worthwhile. That means you must have some understanding of what we’re doing in order to bear the cost of that trust.

    This is why we focus on gradual accumulation of talent until we have social proof from that talent that overcomes the question of expending the investment in time to learn what is the equivalent of any other STEM field – but is, just as physics is the root of the physical STEM courses, our work ist he root of the behavioral STEM courses.

    A clam that sounds rediculous from the outside but ‘s obvious from the inside. ‘Cause the whole universe becomes very easily comprehensible as a very simple hierarchy of a very simple principle of evolutionary computation of the defeat of entropy.

    Cheers

    Why Are People Cautious of Association With The Institute?
    People who are in cancelable employment positions often exit public participation with us becaues of the controversial nature of our work – especially on lying, but more specifically, how the left lies, and how their lying (unlike male lying by systematic fictionalisms) originates in the female method of warfare, and it’s integration into the abrahamic to marxist sequence of methods of civilizational warfare by sedition (undermining within), and how we can outlaw both that feminine and masculine lying in politics. Which, if you don’t know, is the primary reformation we’re bringing to constitution, law, and policy, and especially across the Cathedral complex of academy, state, media, and finance – all of which are free riders on the capital that european civilization has produced in particular in the high trust and cooperation between the sexes and classes on mutually (reciprocally) beneficial terms, which results in the normal pareto distribution of responsibilty for capital given the natural normal distribution of capacity for responsibilty for capital in humans.

    @FrankRe07770590 @EthanNeal322 @MudKevin I”m pretty impressed with this fellow. He made a quick video. And he demonstrated not only that he understood completely, but that he could communicate the concepts to people with simplicity and clarity. So, he passed both the tests of understanding and understanding well enough…

  • Classical liberalism emerged as t he agency of men increased, and especially the

    Classical liberalism emerged as t he agency of men increased, and especially the agency of men after the Industrial Revolution. Because male agency increased and male criminality increased, and because male criminality (antisocial behavior) is easily visible (and dangerous) our laws (largely) kept up with the incremental suppression of male antisocial behavior.

    Unfortunately, the female, feminine, abrahamic, Marxist method of warfare by undermining, reputation destruction, of individuals and institutions, and the susceptibility to social construction of false promises that bait individuals and groups into hazards (devolution are consequences), was only enabled by the false promise of the end of scarcity and the europhoria it created ini the progressives and marxists (leftists) where they cast their previous poverty as oppression rather than scarcity domestication and necessity given their pervasive criminality. And as this feminine means of warfare was suppressed on the individual level with laws against shrilling etc (being Karen) under the common law, it was not suppressed in institutions because it is the means by which the Christian religion was spread and defeated the natural religion of european peoples.

    So we are in a period of time where we are experiencing for the first time since the late Roman Empire, or the fall of Sparta, the results of introversion of feminine interests, and feminine men’s of antisocial behavior into the commons, economy, and polity. But we have not yet restored and expanded the law to suppress feminine antisocial behavior (seduction into false promises, undermining canceling, etc) because we haven’t had to since the Greco-Roman age, because the church like the marxist-postmodernist-woke hid behind the plausibility deniability that they have moral rather than parasitic intentions.

    I worked very hard on legal constitutional and policy reform to counter this, and have done the work to do so. But only after making a special dispensation for the tolerance of Christian superstition.

    And yes this is the correct answer.

    CONVERSATIONAL COMPUTING’S FUTURE
    I love how we’re mass producing research and development. And it’s at a scale and speed that we’ve never seen before even in the previous generations of computational innovation. I’ve lived through everything from teletypes to the present and worked through the previous AI winters. There is just nothing like this.

    One reason is that llms let us use our own language to teach these machines rather than machine language to teach us how to teach them. 😉 It’s a multiplier on previous code frameworks.

    But while LLMs are great a synthesis they are still sh** at analysis (cognitive wayfinding). We are already seeing good work in multiple predictions and adversarial competition between them. That’s great at reducing hallucination and is the first layer of falsification.

    But until we can discover a goal, then wayfind to it, we can’t do sufficient falsification to perform reasoning, protocols, logic, or math. It’s amazing what they’ve done with programming, But programming is a tiny world model compared to reality and it’s hierarchy of world models.

    Which means we need even more compute. 😉

  • The stereotype that English cuisine is inferior, particularly when compared to F

    The stereotype that English cuisine is inferior, particularly when compared to French cuisine, seems to have roots in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Here’s a brief exploration of the origins and perpetuation of this stereotype:

    Historical Context:
    French Culinary Tradition: French cuisine has a long-standing tradition of gourmet cooking, with a rich variety of dishes, techniques, and regional specialties. It has been historically regarded as a high art, with famous culinary schools and globally renowned chefs.

    British Culinary Tradition: English cuisine, on the other hand, has historically been viewed as more straightforward, focusing on simple preparation methods and the quality of ingredients. It has a rich tradition of baked goods, meats, and puddings.

    19th Century:
    Industrial Revolution: During the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century, England underwent rapid urbanization, which led to a decline in the quality of food and culinary traditions. Many people moved to the cities where they had less access to fresh, quality ingredients.

    French Culinary Prestige: Meanwhile, French cuisine was enjoying a golden age, with the establishment of haute cuisine, which was characterized by high-quality ingredients, intricate preparation methods, and a strong emphasis on presentation. French chefs like Auguste Escoffier were revolutionizing the culinary world.

    Early 20th Century:
    World Wars: The two World Wars in the first half of the 20th century further strained the UK’s food supply, leading to rationing and a focus on sustenance over culinary finesse. This period saw a decline in the quality and variety of food available in the UK.

    French Culinary Schools: In contrast, France continued to nurture its culinary traditions, with many culinary schools and institutions that preserved and promoted the art of French cooking.

  • The Innate Urge For Religion There is an innate need for suppression of neurotic

    The Innate Urge For Religion
    There is an innate need for suppression of neuroticism (worry) in an unpredictable (kaleidc) universe, that is exacerbated by the alienation and anomymity of post-tribal life – it’s simple neural economics. Religion functions as a standard of weights and masures that reduce potential for status counter-signals and individual and group conflict and maximize opportunity for cooperation on the same terms with the same expectations. That’s why all major relivions emerged about the same time, in response to the need to restore cooperation as the world recovered from the bronze age collapse, much the way that literacy helped in the recovery from the plague.
    That doesn’t mean we can’t have a non-false religion like stoicism, it only means that some relgions are more costly to train (stoicism, judaism, classical liberalism) than less developed religions that are more resistant to innovation and adaptation.
    We need to train mindfulness by some variation of the stoic method in order to restore emotional stability. It’s just work.

    Anyone in my field will aways be unpopular, or worse, censored, on social media.

    Why?
    Fashion and trends
    Entertainment
    Propaganda
    Moralizing
    Ideology
    Relgiosity
    Philosophy
    Some of science
    all are topics we tolerate.

    But decidability, performative truth, and in particular, law of sovereignty, reciprocity, truth and duty, are not topics we want to hear from.

    Why? Because they tell us what not to do. And we so much love our prescious little taboos, frauds, virtue signals, social constructions, illusions, delusions, and lies.

    But, someone has to be responsible. And the court is the responsible instituion of last resort.

  • WILL THE ENGLISH, THE UK, CONTINUE TO DRAG MANKIND KICKING AND SCREAMING INTO TH

    WILL THE ENGLISH, THE UK, CONTINUE TO DRAG MANKIND KICKING AND SCREAMING INTO THE FUTURE?

    Nigel (all);

    We all, everyone, need broader knowledge of why the English invented the modern rule-of-law state, dependent upon (a)the natural law of cooperation, (b)the empirical process of discovery of the common law (“commonality”), (c) a constitution of processes and procedures under that rule of law (organization of cooperation), (d) a monarchy as judge of last resort given the perpetual regularity of the failure of republican political processes to fall to fashions and follies of the moment, (e) a cabinet of professional ministers serving at the pleasure the monarchy, houses of parliament reflecting the regions and classes (“concurrency”), and (f) the preservation of self determination by self determined means by reciprocal insurance of individual sovreighty in demonstrated interests (g) by the requirement for reciprocity in display word and deed, (h) limiting us all to adversarial markets for cooperation (markets), and resolution of conflict (courts).

    Mother England gave us revolutionary sequence of the rational, empirical, agrarian, commercial, financial, scientific, industrial, and technological revolutions in rapid sequence that dragged mankind kicking and screaming out of ignorance, superstition, hard labor, poverty, starvation, disease, suffering, child mortality, early death, and victimization by everything from tyrants to the vicissitudes of an nature uncaring nature that has nearly exterminated us with regularity, and the irradiated hostile wasteland of the galaxy and our universe itself.

    Mother England, our traditional law, our parliaments and our monarchy, ableit for the mistake of making parliament sovereign rather than the people uderr the. natura law, in a written constitution, is the optimum possible political order for human beings – and as close to a science of coperation for our varied and fragile human minds and characters as is humanly possible.

    In this perfect government, the role of government is to act far more as a venture capitalist measuring returns in the population than a priesthood that in suppression of inequality produces stagnation, decay, decline, and dysgenia as we have seen elsewhere the world over.

    The question is, can any body of people other than the anglosphere, or perhaps the broader germanosphere we are descendents of, accomplish this government of continuous development given the requirement of combining respect for the law, self determination, truth before face, duty to the commons before the self, the high trust that results, and the intergenerational institutions, traditions, norms, and habits required for its persistence? It’s only the british who can decide.

    Or will England, the UK, the Anglosphere, the Germanic Europeans, the mass of other Europeans, and broader mankind that we have arisen albiet inoptimally at times, suffer, even so horrific as another dark age, because the English lost their invention of moral modernity as readily as the Romans lost concrete, arts, and letters, and their very existence?

    Choose wisely please.
    Everything good in this world depends on that leadership.

  • I have had to revoke offers once and only for two or three people when the feds

    I have had to revoke offers once and only for two or three people when the feds seized our bank in 08 for exceeding their limits, and put us in an impossible condition. It’s possible over time to try to make it right by small compensation for their pains but not when you’re in crisis. I always think about all the employees and customers and vendors and when there are no conditions where no one gets hurt, then the principle of doing what does the least harm applies. Trolley problems do exist in real life. Unfortunately we don’t teach economics in school on purpose because teachers fear to experience parental retaliation for telling the truth. So average people assume companies have cash flexibility when they don’t. We hear about the money generated by few unicorn public companies, while most business tries to outperform the rate of inflation by enough points to keep exploring new customers and markets. I taught every hire twice a month a three hour lesson in the history of money business, followed by how our business operated and how as a growth company all our profits were out in receivables and we were largely constrained by cash flow. Once I showed them that I generally didn’t begin to profit from them until the third year and that’s why we work so hard at retention they were horrified. IMO every company should explain to all employees their financial model. It rapidly ends the mythology of excess profits.

    Persuading the Opposition
    Well, at the risk of offending one of the people who matters most to me in this world (you), yes, you are correct, but the virtue of public discourse is the audience that is open to learning. Debates are never for the purpose of persuading your opponent but for persuading the members of the jury who are seeking the truth.

    Degrees of indirection frustrating for conservatives:
    1) the incremental education
    2) of the audience and the willing
    3) at an indirect cost to the opposition.

    Think of it as the conservative ( truthful ) mirror image of the progressive ( deceitful ) method of incremental seduction by false promise of freedom from nature’s laws.

    Men(the right) are efficient when it is not actually effective – in influence (vs decision).
    Women (the left) is inefficient when it’s effective (influence) vs decision.
    We would all hang progressives if they stated what they wanted despite how we got there.. We would (mostly) rebel against conservatives not about their wants (end point) but about getting there.
