    —“Western Europe was the richest region in the world for nearly all the last 2,000 years. The only exception is 1000 AD. Secondly, Western Europe has virtually always been richer than Eastern Europe. This was true long before communism came into the picture. Third, in 1 AD Africa was richer than Eastern Europe and Eastern Asia. In 1 AD Africa was also richer than Africa in 1820 AD. Progress is not inevitable.”—

    Journalists tend to have a more “elitist” view of democracy, according to the study’s authors Tim Vos and David Wolfgang of U.M. This means that once a political candidate is elected into office, he will have control over decision making, without extensive input from the public. The job of journalists is simply to inform the public about what is going on in government to best prepare the public for the next election cycle.

    “This version of democracy is what some theorists call ‘elitist democracy’— elites do the business of governing and journalism performs a checking function on behalf of a disinterested public,” the authors wrote in the 18-page report, which was originally published in October.

    This differs from the “populist” view more widely held by Americans which is that the public should have input on political candidates’ decisions throughout their term. Under this philosophy of democracy, journalists would cover the opinions of different social groups.

    “This disconnect has shown itself many times in recent months, as a large portion of the American public has expected political news to be covered in one way while reporters are covering political news in a different way,” Vos said.

    —“You cant even answer a basic question because you lack the understanding to realize that virtue is a state of being rather a laundry list of quantifiable costs and benefits.”—-

    (note: he can’t seem to grasp the difference between existentially demonstrable (true/false and qualifiable) versus quantifiable (unitary).) I this kind of thing is one of those indicators of ignorance that you know the poor individual cannot get past.)

    Well since you can’t refute any of the arguments and I’ve refuted yours, and quite soon I suspect others will come along and educate you, that (a) you have no idea of the depth of argument I’m making, and (b) nor the depth of your folly.)

    0 – I am avoiding the verb to-be because it is the most useful means of platonic pretense – lying. So I am attempting to force you into addressing that reality indirectly. That is what you ‘sense’ but cannot explain.

    1 – define ‘state of being’ (it’s a nonsense statement don’t worry i’ll tear it apart as platonist) versus DEMONSTRATING. (The difference is constituted in internal experience and self judgement vs externally demonstrated action and the judgement of others)

    2 – define how we may tell the difference between a person who pretends virtue yet causes negative externalities, a person who attempts to be virtuous in adverse circumstances but still fails, and person who produces no adverse externalities simply because he is privileged enough never to encounter them.

    3 – explain to me any three virtues that do not require one pay a cost in order to demonstrate them in fact, rather than by luck or convenience.

    4 – tell me the difference between belief (what you think), honesty (what you speak prior to due diligence), truthful (what you think once yo have performed due diligence, and truth (what we could describe if possessed of perfect knowledge, perfect language, and free of error, bias, and deceit) and DECIDABILITY – meaning that in a court of law how do OTHERS know that you are speaking with belief, honesty, truthfulness, or truth?

    Maybe, just maybe, you will learn something profound today.

    During that period, 0.5 to 1% of all men were removed from each generation through court-ordered executions and a comparable proportion through extrajudicial executions, i.e., deaths of offenders at the scene of the crime or in prison while awaiting trial. The total execution rate was thus somewhere between 1 and 2%. These men were permanently removed from the population, as was the heritable component of their propensity for homicide. If we assume a standard normal distribution in the male population, the most violent 1 to 2% should form a right-hand “tail” that begins 2.33–2.05 SD to the right of the mean propensity for homicide. If we eliminate this right-hand tail and leave only the other 98-99% to survive and reproduce, we have a selection differential of 0.027 to 0.049 SD per generation.

    …The reader can see that this selection differential, which we derived from the execution rate, is at most a little over half the selection differential of 0.08 SD per generation that we derived from the historical decline in the homicide rate.

    —“I think that communistic countries [ like mine ], heavily relied on memorization in schools as an mark of excellence. That really annoyed me. I couldn’t touch that stuff, but loved how American universities handled the issue. So, when I read your stuff, I could see that math primarily “start-up-ed” to count money (accounting and economics). But nobody in communistic countries wants you to think about money, better leave that to the government.”— A Friend
