(FB 1546047161 Timestamp) Um, I realize that in other cultures, initiating a conversation by saying hello, or waving, or something of that nature is good manners. but I”m an american and a rather anglo-saxon american, and I just prefer you directly ask me questions. Spammers and people with gentle manners are indistinguishable. So pls just ask questions don’t wave etc. I don’t respond.

(FB 1546043826 Timestamp) Small Sample but reflects everything else I see: AGENCY —“The nature and extent of group differences in pain tolerance according to age, sex and race were examined. The method of pain tolerance determination was mechanical pressure on the Achilles tendon, performed on 41, 119 subjects as part of the Kaiser-Permanente Automated Multiphasic Screening examination. The results showed that, on the average, a) pain tolerance decreases with age; b) men tolerate more pain than women; and c) Whites tolerate more pain than Orientals, while Blacks occupy an intermediate position. When the results of this study are compared with earlier work, it appears that, with increasing age, tolerance to cutaneous pain increases and tolerance to deep pain decreases.”—

I did stuff I shouldn’t have like rearranging cones in the road, and road signs. But all of these things were essentially pranks. But crimes? No. I do know people who did petty crimes like shoplifting and minor b&e, just for the fun of it.

If you post one, all you are doing is making me spend time deleting. Yes, I tolerate certain illustrated quotes etc. But I just delete that which is not argument. -thanks.

(FB 1546102380 Timestamp) One bit of frequent advice is that if we grow to quickly the idiot factor will be impossible to control. I agree with this proposition, but it can be offset by changing what we talk about as we expand: early entrants are activists that need technical content. Ordinary people simply want to know what such a constitution would look like, how it would work, how governments would work, and how they would benefit from it. They do not need to understand the strict construction of law from first principles in algorithmic and operational language, or that we can test the truth of propositions by subjecting them to tests of due diligence in the dimensions available to human minds. They only need to know that some people can, and that if we do so, its as rigorous as mathematics. Ordinary people just need FEATURES AND BENEFITS. They do not need to understand the detailed process of engineering of those features and benefits.

(FB 1546100286 Timestamp) Let me help you. It is a disadvantage to me, to the work, and to the movement to be associated with ‘those who have failed’. The more mainstream we become, the less value in fringe players. So no, leaving behind the fringe is part of the strategy. Not getting their attention. Propertarianism is not a philosophy or a religion, it is practical law the purpose of which is to defeat the means by which our high trust people (and other stupid people) are deceived by taking advantage of the weakness of our neurological construct using language. NO MORE LIES, NO MORE PARASITISM IS NOT A RIGHT WING MESSAGE: IT IS A MAJORITARIAN MESSAGE. The purpose of separatism is economic and political as well as genetic and cultural. The purpose of conquest is the same. It is just a choice given the possibilities. My strategy is simple: STARVE THE BEAST AND THE PARASITES DIE WITH IT.

(FB 1546134225 Timestamp) If you haven’t done the Netflix > Black Mirror > Bandersnatch thing yet you really should. Great use of the tech. Creates interesting expansion on the high-plot-density with many-character-arcs trend we’ve seen over the past decade.
