Television and the frequency of sex
by Tyler Cowen August 6, 2018 at 12:42 pm in Data Source Television
Substitutes are indeed everywhere:
—This paper examines the association between television ownership and coital frequency using data from nearly 4 million individuals in national household surveys in 80 countries from 5 continents. The results suggest that while television may not kill your sex life, it is associated with some sex life morbidity. Under our most conservative estimate, we find that television ownership is associated with approximately a 6% reduction in the likelihood of having had sex in the past week, consistent with a small degree of substitutability between television viewing and sexual activity. Household wealth and reproductive health knowledge do not appear to be driving this association.”—
That is from a new NBER paper by Adrienne Lucas and Nicholas Wilson.

—“And so, faced with irrelevance, the Establishment howls, froths at the mouth and chews the carpet, raging at President Trump. Like a madman whose derangement is killing him, it screams meaningless words, most ending in “ism”, as it dies. I’m sure the President will give it a grand funeral.”— William S. Lind

CULTURAL DIFFERENCES: LINEAR BUT CYCLICAL TIME
by Skye Stewart
A widely shared belief (among the greatest of minds as well as the smallest of minds) is that there are socio-cultural- historical processes contributing toward an developmental pattern/structure from the beginnings of human history into the foreseeable future whereby our commonalities constitute our humanity and our difference merely the favor of our experiences. Western conceptions of linear time, as opposed to cyclical time as in most cultures has made much of this possible I gather. But philosophers and psychologists from Hegel to Pinker have argued its case, in one form or another.
Arguing against it is akin to arguing for the ‘dark ages’.

—“The parts of the country that are the most liberal are pulling the least weight with regard to military service. This has exponential effects, in that over time, as liberals do not take part in military service, the military becomes more conservative not through any movivated action of corruption by conservatives, but to liberals as a group electing not to serve, a fact which makes many, many conservatives very bitter to this day.”—
—“…most of the people in the military still come from lower middle and working class homes, and primarily from small towns. This is not to mention a major portion of the military coming from the the South with an awkward silence from wealthy New England states and the Midwest.”—
As I have said, the difference is largely in the scale of commons that one defends, and that commons is the inverse of population density.
What this map doesn’t tell you directly, is that the military is predominantly anglo-scotts-irish and that the germans do not serve in proportion to their territorial power. Which is not what you’d expect. But it’s true.
**Most of the military comes from lower middle and working class homes, and primarily from small towns.**
(The people I feel are underserved, yet most moral of all.)
This is where one ‘recruits’ the revolution.MILITARY SERVICE: INVESTMENT IN THE COMMONS VS PARASITISM UPON IT

THERE CAN BE NO HYPOCRISY IN POSTMODERNISM
by Austyn Pember
There is no hypocrisy – only strategies of deceit for self-interest:
– The left is not hypocritical. They set up or use your moral framework as a tool against you. Whatever moral justification they are using to have their interests met is just a practical strategy of achieving said interests. they do not believe in truth, reciprocity, principle, reason, or science – only power.
– When they say “you are a racist,” they are using your moral guilt about that principle against you. They don’t actually adhere to the premise that ‘racism is bad’. It’s only that they don’t want yourself or your demographic resisting against the thing they are championing or demographic they are aligning themselves with – they do not believe in truth, reciprocity, principle, reason, or science – only power.
This can be shown when they are perfectly fine with ‘racism’ against whites, like the latest NYT editor.
ALL VIOLATION OF RECIPROCITY VIOLATES NATURAL LAW – AND ALL VIOLATION OF NATURAL LAW GRANTS LICENSE AND AUTHORITY FOR THE USE OF EXTRA-LEGAL ACTION.
