    —“Curt purposely writes for (very) high-IQ people who have a lot of contextual understanding already in place. Some of his stuff is difficult for me and I’m 135-140 (some of it I have to make an effort to “get” which I’m not accustomed to). That being said Curt’s posts/writing have gotten a lot more accessible over time IMO. But some of it can’t be simplified all that much or too much important detail is lost. At the same time, many of the key insights and their ramifications I believe can be explained to avg IQ audiences (maybe even sub-100 if communicated well) in basic form. Some detail will be lost in that process, but it will be valuable for normal folks to understand the basic what & why, while all the detail will be available to the high IQ men who will be implementing it (ruling). Curt has said before that he is relying on people in the 130-140 range to carry his ideas down the IQ range.”—John Mark

    —“Sometimes I think I understand why we women increasingly read novels. Novels, when they work, use lies to tell the truth. The information marketplace, battling for an audience, tends, more and more, to transform intolerable truths into novelistic, riveting, enjoyable lies.”—Elena Ferrante

    —“Persistent Hollywood Propaganda is the result of who owns Hollywood, and the voices and bodies that are given power within it. It’s been a clear revelation this last year that they are not given power without requirements. But we continue to pretend this is not so.”— A Friend.

    ie: End copyright and replace it with creative commons and hollywood dies an economic death, along with the mainstream media. Why do we grant exceptional protection and therefore subsidy to the very people who work against our civilization?

    If we end copyright subsidies and make propaganda (falsehood and immorality) involuntarily warrantied and therefore liable in the commons, then Hollywood and major media will die.

    If we eliminate consumer interest and borrow direct from the treasury, insured by anyone with a license, then new york will die, and LA cannot be funded.

    (I do these things for reasons)

    “Human flourishing depends on individuals paying costs to contribute to the common good, but such arrangements are vulnerable to free riding, in which individuals benefit from others’ contributions without paying costs themselves. Systems of tracking and sanctioning free riders can stabilize cooperation, but the origin of such tendencies is not well understood. Here, we provide evidence that children as young as 4 years old negatively evaluate and sanction free riders. Across six studies, we showed that these tendencies are robust, large in magnitude, tuned to intentional rather than unintentional noncontribution, and generally consistent across third- and first-party cases. Further, these effects cannot be accounted for by factors that frequently co-occur with free riding, such as nonconforming behaviors or the costs that free riding imposes on the group. Our findings demonstrate that from early in life, children both hold and enforce a normative expectation that individuals are intrinsically obligated to contribute to the common good.”
