    http://edge.org/response-detail/26766IDEOLOGY IS THE MOST USEFUL TOOL OF GROUP EVOLUTIONARY STRATEGY (R/K)

    —“If you were on a selection committee tasked with choosing someone to hire (or to admit to your university, or to receive a prize in your field), and it came down to two candidates who were equally qualified on objective measures, which candidate would you be most likely to choose?

    __A) The one who shared your race

    __B) The one who shared your gender

    __C) The one who shared your religion

    __D) The one who shared your political party or ideology”—

    The answer is “D”.

    WHY? Because it is currently the most useful group evolutionary strategy.

    —“When we turn to political and international thinking, we are further from straight scientific thinking. Such words as: ‘progress’, ‘liberty’, ‘democracy’, ‘fascist’, ‘reactionary’, ‘racist’, ‘liberal’, and many other are used in political thinking and communication in such a way that they carry more of emotional then of factual meaning. So long as words so used are the ordinary terms of rival politicians, how can we hope to think straight in national and international affairs?

    We must look forward to the day when the thinking about political and international affairs will be as unemotional and as scientific as that about the properties of numbers or the atopic weights of elements. The spirit of impartial investigation of facts unswayed by irrelevant emotions has given us great advances in the sciences. It’s triumphs will be even greater when it is applied to the important affairs of life. We shall be able to discuss and settle such questions a public v private ownership, control of atomic weapons, and disarmament treaties as successfully as physicists have discussed and settled Einstein’s theory of relativity.”— Robert Thouless, Straight and Crooked Thinking p22-23

    (We have it. That does not mean people will appreciate Propertarianism and Testimonial Truth any more than they appreciated Darwin.)

    That’s the way it’s done kids.

    Guaranteed results.

    Little else needed. 🙂

    OUCH

    —“The party of Obama, Clinton and Sanders owes its ideology not to Jefferson, Madison and Jackson, but to the socialists of the 20th century: Stalin, Hitler, Mao and Castro.”—

    Just to note that Muslim(Obama), Christian(Clinton) and Jew(Sanders) all follow the same ideology, that was followed by Lenin(jewish), Stalin (Georgian), Hitler(Austrian German), Mao(Chinese), Castro (Caribbean Latin)

    (It’s actually rare to find blonde, red, and brown haired people in positions of left wing marxist political power. Hillary is an exception. )

    From a redditor:

    —“Curt Doolittle is working on an synthesis, summary, and scientific defense of the tenets of Western Civilization. His work will decisively impact the formation of the New Right, it will reshape the paleolibertarian movement and give the right something new to work toward to. His work will give us back our inheritance, that is, scientifically verifiable truth, and through that truth a rebuke of the postmodern, academic, and politically correct driven mass media.”—

    That’s the deal. The west never had it’s own bible other than the Illiad, Odyssey, Greek, Carolingian, Arthurian, Germanic and Nordic Myths. And while we practiced natural law, the common law, jury, independent judiciary, testimony and truth, and while we practiced distributed government of equals – aristocratic egalitarianism, we never formalized it into a book, canon or literature. Just as we failed to formalize the druidic civilization exported from England. But Once you have a book, and it can be claimed sacred, and it is scientifically constructed, then you have merged science and religion and constructed a moral line in the sand beyond which violence is not only permitted but required.

    Lets hope god lets me finish it.

    Now I would prefer we didn’t ‘build networks’ for the world. But if you’re going to do something extraordinary at least don’t fail.

    Eli Harman

    One of Robert Axelrod’s findings from studying iterated prisoner’s dilemma competitions (“The Evolution of Cooperation”) is that the standard “tit for tat” strategy can be improved upon by adding an element of forgiveness, to break otherwise insoluable and never-ending patterns of recrimination. Clinging steadfastly to vengeance as an aim, when peace and cooperation are within reach, is an example of the sunk cost fallacy.

    Quite simply, our parents and grandparents could afford a lot of folly that we cannot, now that they have squandered our inheritance on empty signaling.
