    AFRICA
    You see, I see african ‘humility’ as both a blessing and a curse. It is not that helpful, but humility is easier to transform into heroic optimism, than islamic overconfidence, and hindu overinvestment in ‘magic’.

    Islam is the greatest danger to africa for this reason.

    I know the MI People pretty well including walter and hans, but you know, they’ve overinvested on one hand, and their relationship with rothbard is personal more than intellectual, and the truth is it’s all sophism. All of it. the problem is that its exceptionally good sophism, because like the best lies, the best sophisms consist of half truths.

    —“What do you think of Ayahuasca Curt?”—

    Um. I can’t comment on that because I’m a science nerd and I have to see something controlled. It’s true that the testimonies coming out of Ayahuasca were similar to those out of lsd, but ketamine came along and now we can pretty much say ‘yeah, these guys aren’t full of it’.

    And at this point it’s not even POSSIBLE it’s psychological. I mean you can’t get that rate of success (+70%) unless the treatment really, really, really, effective. And it’s not effective on the trivial stuff, but on the chronic and devastating.

    Whereas I’d have to argue recreational therapies were more likely taken on by those with less debilitating (if only for the discipline necessary to do it.).

    And the reason I like the therapeutic is because you know if you have ANY chance of falling into schizophrenia or psychosis TRIPPING WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN. And then you’re permanently fucked. So that’s why I prefer the managed therapy.

    I would have no problem microdosing myself if I got it from a fellow supergeek that was a long time practitioner. But otherwise I’d question the providence and be too worried to do it.

  • As far as I know the IE peoples separated into european and indo-iranian branche

    As far as I know the IE peoples separated into european and indo-iranian branches, and my understanding via Armstrong is that it was because the eastern peoples ‘left’ (created a diaspora) because they could not compete against the west but they could compete south and east.

    As far as I know (from the record) The Indo-Iranian religion was polytheistic.

    As far as I know, zoroaster lived closer to 1000bc (earlier), even if the religion was formalized (like most were) centuries later.

    As far as I know zoroaster and his work were addressed to the iranian branch, and to no small degree, to intentionally cause conflcit between the iranian and indian branches.

    As far as I know the indian version of religion is the closest to our EASTERN ancestral religion.

    But again the western ancestral and the eastern ancestral differed greatly in that in the western, men traded with and could often defeat the gods, where in the eastern version, men were dependent upon or submissive to the gods.

    The difference is that IE’s disappeared through interbreeding with the peoples of india, the persians (iranians) were boxed in between india and the semites, Although they seem to have preserved most of their genetic independence until the arab conquest. And the west were isolated by the urals, mediterranean, black sea and alps, as were india and the chinese.

  • You know, people have already touched on the related ideas above, but promiscuit

    You know, people have already touched on the related ideas above, but promiscuity breaks the compromise between male and female reproductive strategies and undermines the necessity of the family as the first organization (production of generations), in the hierarchy of cooperative organizations. The french and italians solve the problem through the sacredness of the family and ‘graceful philandering’ by both genders. Whether you adopt the zero tolerance of the anglos or the high tolerance of the french, is a choice of higher or lower stress. When we think of ourselves as equal rather than opposites that are compatible, and adopt individualism rather than compromise, we achieve in the inter generational social order, what we achieve in the socialist economy: an inability to calculate and cooperate, and a destruction of the intergenerational means of production.

    (from an AMA elsewhere)

    —“Curt, What are your biggest vices, if any?”—

    I dunno. I’m basically an arrogant, effete, elitist, asshole and that’s my primary vice. (And I like to troll-f…ck idiots quite a bit) Otherwise not many. I don’t really drink, smoke, pop, trip, thot, or anything else. I guess my family would say I”m an obnoxious tease, but that’s just a means of playing while avoiding my impulses to correct idiots.

    All you do is give them validity with their fellows, and inspire them. The most negative reinforcement is to ignore people, not play into their game, and pay them attention. All SJW antagonism is a currency in their book.
