  • Do Highly Academically Accomplished People Often Deliberately Make Themselves Non-open Because Too Much Openness Would Distract Them?

    I will give you the honest answer, but you won’t like it.

    The problem is that the answer to most questions that people would ask is:

    —-”I have a limited amount of time and I try to spend it wisely, and that would be a poor use of my time”—-

    or

    —-”That question is so trivial, and so readily available on google, that I can’t believe you are so lazy that you’re asking me instead”—-

    or

    —-“You are far to ignorant and stupid to comprehend the answer to your question in the amount of time I can afford to donate to you.”—-

    Rather than tell you those honest bits of truth they stay silent.

    (Myself, I use the public as experimental subjects, but my category of work allows me to do that. Mostly, though, honestly – most questions are too costly to answer. So I publish everything I write and hope that people just ‘read along’ for a while, and it works.)

  • What Are The Best Things To Do On Weekends As A Student At The University Of Hartford?

    Go home. Hartford is one of America’s poorest cities and only shortly behind Detroit in lifecycle. It is a city of nihilism and despair with only the crude business of insurance to provide tax revenues.

    The University of Hartford had an opportunity in the 70’s to develop into a meaningful institution of science, technology, mathematics, economics, and law, on is rather gorgeous campus, but embraced the popular trend of postmodernists and is now just a mediocre waypoint for the underperforming middle classes from long island and new jersey, and the desperate few who seek to extend their adult skills and remain in the Hartford area rather than take flight to a state that is not in decline and bankruptcy due to the combination of anglo puritanism and jewish cosmopolitanism that have made the state a pariah for education, engineering, and technology.

    Let the last person with an IQ over 80 more than five miles north of the connecticut shoreline, turn out the lights.

    U of H is like the malls of New Jersey. It just hasn’t gone out of business yet.

  • How Many Ethnic Groups Are There In The Whole World?

    I’ll give you the best answer I can, having spent some time on this question myself.

    1. Nation states and empires attempt to crush local identities, or deny them. (china and mongols the most obvious). Governments have incentives to be dishonest. All government data is suspect. Unfortunately the Academy is a co conspirator to government because it is cheaper to use government data than to conduct genetic and cultural research.
    2. During the time of nation states, most europeans lost their local identities, although our ‘tribes’ at last at the macro level are still ascertainable in many cases. Even today, despite the fact that northeastern, northern, central, and southern descendants in the united states all come from different regions and tribes, and still practice those cultural differences, the government suppresses those differences.
    3. So when we say ‘ethnicity’ are we saying nation state, or race, sub-race, tribe, and clan, using the identity with which they identify themselves? For example, the french speak french, but and parisians are culturally parisian, but the french countryside is identifiably germanic and has retained those cultural tendencies. American whites are primarily german, but speak english. Southern italians are ethnically greek, and northern ethnically german. They know this, but data just groups them together.
    4. For these politicized reasons, I tend to think the only honest means of judging ethnicity is genetic, cultural, and linguistic in that order, which is how people tend to describe themselves if they have an ethnic identity that is important to them. For those that it isn’t there is usually a reason to avoid it and choose some else less ‘truthful’.
    5. Using that method of categorization, As far as I know there are four major races(with austrailasians earning their own category), nine or so subraces (separating out the various indo europeans in particular), over 100 minor races and a vast number tribes and unmeasurable number of clans.
    6. But the truth is that genetics is going to solve this for us within the next few decades and governments will no longer be able to play their games with us.

  • Why Is It Called The Free Market When The Poor Have No Choice But To Sell Their Labor So They Don’t Starve?

    Because that’s a free market. That is all a free market promises: you will not be legally or institutionally denied access, nor legally nor institutionally granted privilege.
