    Question Part Three: Why does a monopoly continental government provide better technological, economic, political, and normative results than multiple regional or local governments that specialize to produce commons preferential to members and undesirable by other peoples?

    2) Question Part Two: So, why isn’t it the next evolutionary consequence, to preferentially ‘speciate’ so that we produce commons that suit our desires? Why is ANY monopoly a good? The only monopoly good I know of is scientific (operational) truth.

    Jonathan: Question. Wealth has allowed us to explore our individual differences, pursue individual preferences, and all but eliminate the dependence upon family. So why is it not deterministic that we will develop demand for separate states to further ends that we can now afford?

  • Which U.s. Allies Would Back Up Their “support” With Actual Troops If America Was Attacked?

    There are people with more understanding of field capacity than I have, but as far as I know the only people (a) reading and willing, (b) able to contribute whatsoever, are the British. Unfortunately the british vision of training is going home for dinner at 5:00pm (which our soldiers complain about endlessly.)

    The French undermine Americans (they undermine Europe as a whole) at every opportunity. They will never participate in our defense. They are as likely to side with the enemy as help us. The aussies can fight but they’re far away, and small in numbers.

    We learned a great deal from Libya. Europe can handle a bit of civil unrest but is otherwise entirely defenseless. The military is little more than a social service program to reduce unemployment.

    The British and French are nuclear powers.

    Germany is down there with Indonesia and Canada – a military in pretense only

    Worse, European Armies don’t train and can’t fight.

    Women gossip to undermine alphas – and hen peck each other in corporations to the point where they are mutually self destructive. Do they conspire by intent, common interest, or genetic disposition?

    @hbdchick @TOOEdit This is a justification. All groups share developmental, demographic,and geographic advantages, institutionalize and exploit them. CONSPIRACY OF COMMON INTEREST != CONSPIRACY OF INTENT but the OUTCOME is the SAME.

    Hey Eric could you possibly clarify for me your position on ‘racism’? I’m trying to cohesively conceptualise a few different bits and pieces of yours that i’ve read; “Racism’ is naive” – If you mean forming an individual judgement of a person not by their individual characteristics, but simply by their race, then sure… I get that. And you have also said that the proper way to understand the difference between the races is the size of the underclasses, that the aristocracy of each race is generally fairly ‘equal’ and that each race has the same ability to transcend (improve it’s average IQ?) through eugenic practices… ok, 100% understood. However you also seem to advocate (correct me if i’m wrong) that a polity should be based around kin, where the aristocracy ‘domesticates’ the lower classes, in a vertical structure, based on race. So you seem to be anti cosmopolitan here. So, how does ‘anti-multiculturalism’, or anti ethic mixing… resolve with racism being naive? And what is the value of focusing on kin as a group selector? And also, I understand that different groups simply evolved different average characteristics, but should we have a preference for particular groups based on the average prevalence of characteristics or temperaments that we value… is this not a form or ‘racism’, or at least getting very close? Thanks brother 😉

    Why does the national debt matter if after inflation it’s largely a wash because it serves largely as a defense against inflation by institutions?

    That was quick. Today the funded portion of the national debt, which is just the tip of the national debt iceberg, surpassed 21 Trillion. Unfortunately it will break 22 Trillion before year end.

    On the likening of #jordanpeterson to Marshall McLuhan: can anyone point to ONE original idea of Peterson’s? Seems like a blend of Jung, Joseph Campbell, and Northrop Frye served in a reduction of right wing conspiracy theory.
