The law we produce is like all science that satisfies the test surviving as testimony is just true. What we do with the truth is prevent people from lying. So within not lying they can negotiate whatever they want. We do not say what to do, only what you will be punished in one…

PHOTOS IN IDs. ARE WE SUPPOSED TO LOOK BAD?
So you know, I had this very nice passport photo for ten years. And a nicer one for ten years before that. And so on. And I had a very nice WA State drivers license for many years. And when I rec’d my Ukrainian passport the photo was OK. But they surprised me with the Ukrainian Drivers license photo and I look like I just rolled out of bed – because we’d just come out of the wind and rain. Don’t’ ask about my Russian passport. I can’t find it. I think it was in a duffel bag in a storage locker in Ukraine, and I’m almost certain it’s been ‘confiscated’ for personal use by someone by now. I ended up giving away my car for pennies to a young guy who really, really wanted it and to work on it, and the clothes I left have disappeared apparently too. 😉
So today, as I continue my year long trials and tribulations of trying to restore my US legal identity (what a nightmare) in no small part because they required me to formally change my name to include my alias (my passport was correct) – I made sure my hair was cut, and I looked ok, and I smiled, but the picture came out and I look like a Pirate. So I said “You made me look like a pirate!” to which the nice woman said, smiling “It’s a nice picture.” And well, I had to get twenty staff people involved in this conversation, all laughing, as usual, and all of them too kind to agree with me that I look like a pirate. But yes I look like a pirate.
Anyway, in two weeks I’ll have a RealID, then in two or three weeks I’ll have a Drivers License. And in GD knows how many months I’ll have a passport. And then I will apparently exist again. Despite having four names that take up more spaces than are allowed in most documentation. And with addresses on all of the id that will have to be updated when I move this year – repeating the process yet again. 😉
So what I’m saying is that I’m all in favor of lifetime implantable chips if it makes all this paperwork, soviet style negotiation and validation by multiple agences, and the related and nonsense go away. And sure that will lead to more scams and such. And the blackmarket in stolen chips will at least provide some cover and amusement once that happens.
But I’m sorta out of that game, so others can experience the joy of international nonsense too. 😉 Pretty sure the good old days of american hegemony, and easy travel, and relative anonymity are on the way out, and that if we don’t stop them the Chinese method of totalitarian surveillance will certainly end up here as a means of extraction of fines making even speech offenses costly. 😉
Cheers 😉

MARTIN STEPAN’S TWITTER STATUS.
I don’t know the status. I thought he was suspended. I don’t know if he’s banned. From what I understand he was the subject of a leftist raid on his account, by a group that organizes the raids, that misrepresented his use of the European history of hanging in Harpending’s papers covering “genetic pacification” as a threat that some today should be hung.
And despite trying, I am and we are, having some difficulty helping martin develop the intuition that helps him imagine both as a czech citizen from birth, czech resident today and non-native speaker, despite his outstanding command of the English language and mastery of our intellectual history, how his rather plain talking, straight talking words can be intentionally misinterpreted and misrepresented by hostile parties. He does not know yet how to ‘couch’ his language in defense against misrepresentation. We have forgotten how much our American culture has diverged from it’s origins a straight talking Germanic people.
We have a law firm that can help restore accounts that have been suspended by raids. But we can’t and won’t help people who break Twitter policy. And Institute policy is pretty strict on the “Decorum”, because we defend our ability to work in social media despite that some of our members are often the target of left wing raids.
I mean, most people find this humorous, and it took a bit of discovery to figure it out, but our canceling on Facebook was an organized rally by Nazis of all people, and our visits from the FBI were, (contrary to what they told us) the result of one of my stalkers, someone I’d been trying to get a restraining order against. The FBI didn’t particularly like it when I sent that letter once I’d found out. That said I do have FBI contacts now that I can reach if I need to. And believe it or not they’ve read my work and at least vaguely understand some of it.
Which is better than I can say for the public. 😉

Harris has female intuitions combined with male systematizing which is fairly interesting to watch if you’re conscious of the sex differences in cognition.
I listen to some of his utterances thinking “Europeans don’t do that”. Because men don’t do that. Only women do.
It’s…

Probably get hate for this but I’ve spent quite a bit of time with Rabbis who I consider scholars of family life and inter family cooperation. it’s not the Rabbis that are the problem, it’s the radical Eastern European leftists that in the postwar era brought their hatred here… https://twitter.com/jordanbpeterson/status/1705331709774823584

The only places that are not seeing the same curve of reproductive collapse are in some parts of sub Saharan Africa. Why? More than replacement reproduction is a function of extreme poverty. Otherwise children are too expensive.
So in this map we see Pakistan 230M – Afghanistan… https://t.co/2R6MbODEJt

Having a no more social media feeling again. Maybe I’ll just prohibit comments from non institute members. 😉

I’m no longer healthy enough, but I would much prefer working on older home restoration, home construction or civil engineering than I would repeating my career in building tech companies. Especially when deailing with fortune 50 companies, as well as governments, and…
