    INTELLIGENCE AND DECEPTION

    Q: More intelligent children tend to be more deceptive—can you explain this?

    A: The experiment was simplicity itself. A child is asked to sit facing away from a box. The experimenter puts something in the box and says “Do not peek, do not peek” and then leaves the room. Most children peek. The experimenter returns and asks, “Did you peek?” Most children lie—but they do so the more frequently the brighter they are, as judged by a simple cognitive test. If your child is especially bright, he or she lies 100 percent of the time, slow 65 percent of the time. The same thing is true for health at birth. The healthier you are the more apt you are to lie 4 years later.

    THE ANDRESSON HOROWITZ MODEL AS LANDLESS MONARCHY

    “Most of our first customers that were over a $1M have come as relationships through Andreessen Horowitz.”—Jessica Lessin

    @Jessicalessin @pmarca

    1) Not surprisingly, the Andreessen Horowitz model is identical to that of the monarchies – albeit without land holding.

    2) Entrepreneurial Paternalism vs State Capitalism seek the same end by different means. Classes differ in preference.

    3) Both Paternal models make use of credit. But one tolerates risk, and the other tolerates corruption.

    4) Which is to say that Andresson Horowitz’s experiment is a model for post-democratic, post-state capitalist government

    http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/Papers.cfm?abstract_id=2511173FAMILY TYPE DETERMINES ECONOMIC OUTCOMES (Of course)

    Abstract:

    We construct a family score according to the presence of these three characteristics following E. Todd’s 1984 classification of traditional family types observed around the world. This family score is significantly associated with higher economic outcomes. This association is robust to other factors already identified by previous research as having a role such as geography, ethnic fractionalization, genetic diversity, religion, quality of institutions and legal origin.

    Getting corruption under control

    —“Stressed the importance of free enterprise and admitted the excessive power of law enforcers.” Indeed, Putin did mention that in 2014, Russian law enforcement agencies investigated almost 200,000 business-related criminal cases, of which only 15 percent ended in convictions — yet 83 percent of businesspeople who were investigated lost their businesses. “That means they were pressured, expropriated and allowed to go,” Putin said. “That, of course, is not what we need in terms of business climate.”—

    ANTI-CHRISTIAN IS A CODE WORD FOR ANTI-WHITE

    —“Today, in the USA, the only Christians that are targeted for criticism are the White Christians. The attacks on Christianity are not really about religion; they are about race. The racist subtext of anti-Christian rhetoric is palpable and just as often it is explicit rather than implicit. Black Christians in contrast are not criticized; they are even praised for their roll in “civil rights” causes.”—Glen Runciter

    In other words, they circumvent the racist accusation by criticizing christians. But it’s still a racist argument.

    On the other hand, a large number of the critics are single and unattractive white women who have been sold ‘the second great lie’.
