    Retweeted Whyvert (@whyvert):

    “transformed the Eurasian steppes from being inhabited by Indo-European speakers of largely West Eurasian ancestry to the mostly Turkic-speaking groups of the present day, who are primarily of East Asian ancestry.”

    Why East Asian advantage: Cold adaptation? Disease resistance? https://t.co/7kbgWdz0Wi

    A long time ago, an interviewer asked me what I thought was the greatest achievement of American civilization. I said, “the answer will surprise you, but it’s A United States Marine.” I still hold that opinion. It’s an achievement only equalled by the Spartans.

    by Luke Weinhagen

    The way it hit me was that libertarianism survives/exists by miscategorizing relations. Specifically, libertarians interpret commons(cooperation) as commons(conflict) and use property rights(IVP) to attempt to resolve that conflict. In doing so they justify libertarianism’s parasitism of the commons(that can only be generated via cooperation) as defense and that justification requires it not suppress any parasitism of the commons(cooperation) as this would self destruct the ideology. Libertarianism self destructed for me once I recognized this categorization error.

    1) I suspect it’s just the physics of the neural economy: breadth neural searches are cheaper and faster with lower returns on recursion than depth searches with higher recursion. In general, minor variations in neural organization should produce large variations in cognition.

    2) Fast, wide, and synthetic vs slow, deep, and analytic.

    3) Feelings (emotions) are of high value in synthetic searches, and approach zero value in analytic searches.

    4) Modeling AI using emotions as gauges of change in the state of ‘assets’ taught me a great deal.

    5) Produces extraordinary precision by the intersection just a few variables.

    6) It’s dehumanizing to some degree, but it’s so obvious its painful.

    7) Thanks for the great tweet (as always your feed rocks.) 😉

    —“The Royal family is a bunch of Germans you brought over just before WW1. Also if you knew what European royal ancestry looked like you wouldn’t brag with it. Imo your royal family is lucky to have chins”—Rohan Mostert

    Um, of course they are germans. That’s a good thing. Celts have a soft streak in them that makes them weak. And photos of the present and past european royalty fare far better than the common man.

    I understand the effeminacy of the modern UK male, and the reversal of gender roles in the UK. So I understand the dislike of hierarchy in the feminized male. And I understand why the feminized male accepts or invites european integration and muslim immigration.

    Envy is a thing for women. Excellence a thing for men.

    (I’d use sovereignty instead of freedom or liberty but the sentiment is the same 😉 )
