  • Like I Said:

    Evolution of means of reputation.
    Reputation > Religious > Legal > Credit > Information > AI. As tech and population increase, so do the means of policing behavior. The alternative is the city and nation state. China does have a real problem however, since the population is so large and the chinese people are ‘not trustworthy’. So the government’s plan is to automate reputation management, just as they used the red army to impose policy in the past.

  • Controlling Our Hyperconsumption and Investing It in Better Returns.

    [M]ake women feel safe, and as the eastern europeans say ‘able to be weak’. Which they mean, able to love and feel and free of worry, and they will be their best. “Men work, women love, and this way we serve one another.” The problem is women’s competitive virtue signaling under consumer hyperconsumption is the equivalent of men who are addicted to watching sports but not doing them.

  • Truth? We Just Find Them Disgusting. So Just Say It.

    —“The Leftist tendency is to conflate the Rightist Disgust response to various things as “phobias”. In other words, the Left confuses Disgust for Fear.”—

    The right is just too well mannered to say: “Actually it’s because we find your/their ____________ behavior disgusting and revolting because it is a genetic defect, and harmful to the tribe.” I mean. Why can’t we just say that? “You know, We don’t like dogs dragging their anuses on the carpet, or ___________ doing ________. Genetic defects are disgusting to us. And you’re advocating for genetic defects that are disgusting. (We have a purity instinct. They don’t. Hence women’s fascination with the discussion of children’s bodily fluids and excrements.)

  • Idiomatic and Ostensive vs Imperative and Declarative.

    “Privileging the Meaningful Over the Truthful Allows One to Discount the Declarative and Secure the Opportunity to Lie.”

    by Bill Joslin (genius) [I]n Ganz’s terms, Generative Anthropology is idiomatic and ostensive (also speculative) whereas Propertarianism is imperative and declarative. What allows for the apparent contradictions is not accounting for the inquisitive (questions as a distinct set opposed to a subset of the imperative). Identifying what question one attempts to answer distinguishes the meaningful from the truthful and why these are not always interchangeable.Privileging the meaningful over the truthful allows one to discount the declarative and secure the opportunity to lie.

  • Summers on The Cancer of Runaway R-Expression

    —“Society is yet another biome – an ecosystem. Even vultures have an important role to play. It’s when the /r tries to replace (or successfully overruns) the apex /K that we get system imbalance and social cancer.”—Anne Summers

    [I] hadn’t thought of that analogy but yes, cancer is uncontrolled hyper consumption growth that breaks the balance between cells and the host. So yes, r overringing K is simply the sociological expression of cancer by behavioral information rather than genetic information.
