Prose And The Difference Between
There is a vast difference between people who speak in poetic, mythic, literary, and analogical verse in order to communicate to the unwashed a truth inaccessible to them by operational description – and those people who speak in poetic, mythic, literary and analogical verse because they do not know of the truth of what they speak and so cannot speak in operational verse. One learns the use of aesthetic parsimony only to improve upon the communicability of what he has to say. But he must have something worth saying upon which to improve. Otherwise he is just another actor in someone else’s clothes speaking someone else’s verse, the meaning of which he does not, and need not grasp, taking applause he did not earn. -

Are There Any Benefits To Being White In American Society?
There are worldwide benefits to being white, for the simple reason that we are less suspect of malfeasance because in reality other than the japanese we are statistically less likely to engage in malfeasance. This has largely to do with the fact that we have self-domesticated ourselves over 4000 years if not 20000 years, by the aggressive suppression of behaviors that cannot be suppressed in other territories and climates. In other words, stereotypes are extremely accurate predictors – the most accurate predictors in the social sciences. Only americans deny that for some reason.

The correct answer to the civil rights movement was to provide internal funding to the underdeveloped community, so that they could establish a middle class using cheap postwar credit. Instead, well intentioned people without any history of self government destroyed rule of law.

I dunno. I was a 1%-er for a long time. There is a reason many very high IQ individuals choose simple lives and a very good reason many of us who become wealthy choose to simplify.Defending your investments is not fun. It’s hard and most people aren’t all that nice to work with.

There are certain groups that rely on traditional intuition but have never developed traditions of governance, judicial conflcit management, or land holding. And they are absolutely certain that their underdeveloped traditions and intuitions are superior to the highly developed.

Bob Solow within the decade was smearing Hayek as an ideological crank for suggesting that could be such a thing as a Road to Serfdom mechanism that might send a society ratcheting into a socialist nightmare of ever escalating anti-liberalism & arbitrary authoritarian control. https://t.co/i6Z6wmD0aq

Is it analogous to customizing your motorcycle? An excuse to spend more time with your hobby? I mean, I like simple guns, naked bikes, Porsches. but … I guess I don’t get the whole ‘hindu bus decoration’ aesthetic on my tools. It seems … strange. But you know, I”m not exactly normal, so I don’t get it.)

(God of love cooking. Anglo comfort food. Today, Sunday, it’s hearty chicken stew with parsley dumplings. Yesterday relatives made corned beef for the holiday, cooked in Guiness. Living in Ukraine was godsend. I can’t even eat anything bad any longer. lol )

Pinker intuits closer to rousseau and is optimistic, Peterson more towards Smith, and Pessimistic. These are assessments and intuitons not evidentiary truths. If we look at history, man is amoral: moral(reciprocal) immoral (irreciprocal) as suits him.

I’m often compared to Peterson–Canadian psychologist, Harvard prof, P in-C, takes evolution seriously–but our styles and philosophies couldn’t be more different. We’ll explore them in a dialogue at some point soon.
