  • Germanic religion, in so far it can be called that, wasn’t in any way centralized.

    Feb 26, 2020, 12:42 PM Martin Štěpán Germanic religion, in so far it can be called that, wasn’t in any way centralized. There was no organization and no book every tribe would have. Every tribe’s version could slowly evolve and diverge, especially if they didn’t come into contact. What we have comes from Iceland written after Christianity was already in place. Even though the gods were shared and Odin does appear to be the head of the pantheon everywhere (Tacitus – central European Germanics, Geoffrey of Monmouth – Saxons) but who knows how the personalities and the stories might have differed. Bill Joslin fight fire with fire, and psychopomp with psychopomp. P, in clarifying the reality of the socio-economic world, turns the wheel of gods, one more rotation back to tyr. law, born of martial culture which domesticates .. a natural response to Fenrir breaking his chains to race across the sky undoing the domestication of our animal nature. Bill Smith This. This is good. Curt. Yeah, Bill has a thing there. That’s a good thing.

  • The entire libertarian ideology is baiting into hazard via suggestion.

    —“The entire libertarian ideology is baiting into hazard via suggestion.”—Chris Moyer

    Yes. christianity, islam, marxism, postmodernism, feminism, libertarianism and neoconservatism are all baiting into hazard – so are freudianism, boasianism, cultural marxism, political correctness, and human-biodiversity-denialism. Europeans speak in the language of the gods written in the hands of the gods, math, science, natural law, and testimony. If you are a devil what language would you speak? What does our foundational myth of the blacksmith and the demon tell us? The devils bait you into hazard wth false promise. We know the name of the devil. His name was Abraham. He was from Ur.

  • Why Empires Fall: Accumulated Rents and Dysgenia

    —“British historian Arnold Toynbee spent his career trying to figure out why even the greatest nations and empires seem to be relatively helpless in escaping cycles of decline once they have taken hold. I think we have accumulated enough scientific knowledge to understand what drives self-reinforcing dysgenic demographic feedback loops to lock in and become seemingly path dependent until ever lower average Intelligence/conscientiousness and concomitant low trust cause social fracture and economic collapse. Codified legal prohibitions of anything encouraging or contributing to the furtherance of such dysgenic undertows is evidently both moral (reciprocal) and necessary.”—Scott De Warren

    Yep. Book on this topic in fact. Civilizations develop an aristocracy by genetic advantage that provides a strategic advantage, then the classes expand to take advantage of the aristocratic advantage, then, everyone maximizes rents, the middle class serves consumers, consumers breed, the underclass increases, until all advantage has been consumed by the underclass, and no capital is available for adaptation to opportunity, threat, stress, or shock.

  • The Problem

    Feb 28, 2020, 12:00 PM by Predmetsky Rosenborg

    You don’t have to be an atheist (I’m not) to see that it is impossible to produce a Christian constitution from Christian doctrine because it is impossible to produce Christian doctrine from Christian scriptures. A constitution requires clarity, which is impossible to accomplish with the religious texts of any religion.

  • Criminality Is Genetic and Dysgenia Is an Institutional Failure

    Mar 2, 2020, 11:48 AM

    —“No. Steven Pinker explained this very well. If parenting had an effect at all, it would turn up in the shared environment. It doesn’t.”—JayMan @JayMan471 —“How do you explain single mothers parenting vastly increasing incarceration and unsocial behaviour.”— tweeter

    1) Mothers do not remarry(control, infantilization) or permit others to parent, fathers do. 2) Single mothers don’t cohabit with grandparents as substitute. 3) Single mothers transfer insecurity to children (instability) 4) Increase in female psychosis under feminism. Tolerance?

    —“None of those things.”—JayMan@JayMan471

    What is it instead? 😉 b/c those things compensated for class (genetic) differences. Which is what I assume you’re going to say. Add: 5) school environment exacerbates. 6) pharmaceuticals (and drugs) exacerbate. 7) recent evidence (female) social media. 8) increase in under-lower class size. So, one can say: 9) increase in anti social behavior. 10) increase in population with it. 11) increase prosecution of it. Edit: ( 11a. in class sortition bc of colleges, and concentrating dysgenia at the bottom – this one is important. ) or 12) decrease in institutional means of compensating for it, suppressing it, and preventing it with marriage, family, community, norm, tradition, and institution. And we can frame the question: (a) are we more aware of it? (b) is there more of it (decline)? (c) are there more people biasing it (population)? (d) are informal and formal institutions no longer controlling it? (e) environmental factors (as w/ lead) (f) all of the above. I read the same papers everyone else does. the disputes are generally categorized as misinterpretation of the top down correlative and categorical; bottom up constructive and individual; and incentives in the constructive that test both. Unfortunately, full accounting is rare. So, to deal with pinker’s assertion that it’s purely genetic, sure. The question then is whether we are just more aware of it, just prosecute it more, increasing dysgenia, or we are failing to mask it with institutions. ie: My original comment’s suggestion: institutions failing. And again, when Jayman disagrees with me it’s because he jumps to the conclusion that I’m making an argument that I am not. 😉 The argument is: Institutional failure. Because dysgenia at present is caused by institutional failure. All of these causes are institutional failures.
