    “Q: CURT: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WOLFRAM’S NKS?”

    —“I was wondering what you thought about his ideas generally, and how you think they relate to your work specifically, if at all.”—

    Well, I think it’s a bit of marketing to call it a ‘new kind of science’.

    Yes, it relates very much to my work.

    Because instead of aggregate mathematical models that calculate ‘top down’, wolfram’s involves a simulation using operations from the bottom up.

    So it’s operationalism in practice.

    —“CURT: DO YOU BELIEVE IN/SUPPORT RACIALISM?—

    (choice quotes here) (I view this, and all racial questions, as stupid but here is my answer.)

    I don’t know what that means. I advocate truth is more competitively advantageous than falsehood. In the case of race, people everywhere at all times demonstrate kin selection (except at the margins). In polities, under monarchy, this was not a problem, since one group possessed political power and the state could not be used as a proxy for warfare.

    Democracy and diversity restored levantine and semitic tribal conflict to european high trust homogenous societies. In creating a high trust competitive polity with a high standard of living, it appears that constructing a kinship order rather than a corporate order, is superior during the majority of history.

    It appears that corporate orders are means of merely extracting accumulated capital from homogenous peoples, and the emergence of a corporate order is evidence of predation or parasitism within or from without. So as far as I know, it is not possible to survive a test of full accounting under a corporate order, and it is only possible to survive at test of full accounting under a kinship order.

    Now as far as differences between the Races, Subraces, Tribes, Clans, Families. And As to differences between the Classes, and between the Generations, and as to differences between the Genders, all of these differences exist, and they exist because we demonstrate both attempts to cooperate and attempts to complete or engage in conflict. at every level from gender, to generation, to class, to tribe, to subrace, to race.

    And while at small interpersonal scale we can reconcile these differnces in the absence of political orders, when we act as groups in family, clan, tribe, nation, subrace, and race, in norms, laws, institutions, traditions, and myths, we ally with our kin – our group. Those who do not (Antifa) are those who are outcast by their own group, and seek other groups.

    So what we see is two axis of organization and resistance: the classes vs the races, and corporatism vs tribalism. And we see the middle classes and working and laboring classes seeking homogeneity, the underclasses seeking whatever is to their advantage at the time, and the upper classes siezing power by whichever faction is able to exert the most pressure in the political model at hand.

    The disenfranchised seek the opposite of whatever order is in play.

    —” Does “why shouldn’t I kill myself?” Qualifies as political question? Or polarity is internal here?”—Mea Culba

    1) PERSONAL

    Q: First question of philosophy why do I not commit suicide?

    A: possibility for acquisition and influence (power)

    2) ETHICAL

    Q: First question of ethics: why do I not kill you and take your things?

    A: Because cooperation is lower cost and higher return

    3) POLITICAL

    Q: First question of politics: why do we not kill you and enslave your wives and daughters?

    A: Because it is much lower cost and much higher return.

    4) TO WHAT DEGREE DO WE COOPERATE?

    1) Why don’t I fight with you?

    2) Why don’t I steal from you?

    3) Why don’t I trade with you?

    4) Why don’t I finance with you?

    5) Why don’t I (exchange-or-create norms) with you?

    6) Why don’t I create laws (government) with you?

    7) Why don’t I cohabitate with you?

    8) Why don’t I reproduce with you?

    BECAUSE I DON”T TRUST YOU ENOUGH TO COOPERATE THAT *MUCH* WITH YOU.

  • The Diseconomies of Scale

    —“At what point do diseconomies of organizational scale kick in or is this a flawed frame?”—Lee Tucker That is the entire question as far as I am concerned. If we take an empirical look, the scale increases with available information systems, and the homogeneity of the population. But in simple terms, a city = a market, and a market must serve a demographic and a demographic must exploit a niche in the regional or world market. So as far as I can tell there is some ratio between population, density, iq, and homogeneity, institutiona means of distributing/collecting information necessary for decidablity, and relative productivity (purchasing power) that should tell us the optimum size. the value of scale kicked in with gunpowder and the high cost of total war. (napoleon). HOwever, with nuclear weapons, that value disappears, so as far as I can tell, 5-10M, and that is up from what looks like 2-3M in the last century, simply because of the complexity of goods and services produced, and longer lifetimes (in other words more people does not translate to more people productiely employe) . So population can increase without affecting the systems of production. Conversely, lets look at competition: a bigger city with more assets can endure shocks over longer periods of economic reorganization, by spending down those assets.

  • “AS AN INTP HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT CODING? SHOULD I DO IT?”— a) I am not a good

    —“AS AN INTP HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT CODING? SHOULD I DO IT?”—

    a) I am not a good ‘coder’ at all. I will absolutely figure the problem out. I will write readable code. But I am slow. I find it tedious. And the tedium makes me tired. Although if I know what I am doing, I can find it relaxing in the same way some women feel when knitting. I can code and watch TV in some languages, but I cannot in others.

    b) I am a very good system architect. I have dont most of my work at that level.

    c) I am a better UI designer. And I prefer this level of work.

    d) I am a great analyst. The problem with analysis work is the idiots you have to interview. 😉

    Or rather I can do all of these things, but I prefer doing the work of an analyst or designer over the work of coding. I just don’t have the short term memory for coding at speed (Or at least, I don’t have it any longer). I think I ‘contemplate’ much more than other folks.

    There are a lot of job opportunities at all levels and as long as you are willing to put a couple of years in at coding you’ll find its easy to rise thru the ranks.
