    Jeez Michael. The whole Island 120… damn. I didnt need that model. Here I was, thinking that as long as people have 106+ they can at least use numbers, use a toilet, and go to sleep without turning around in a circle three times, and you give me this little gem, and I start thinking about how many people in each cohort and in each half standard deviation, and … and I got really scared. ‘Cause that means the target median IQ for a Pareto-minimum is a lot closer to 115 before we aren’t carrying baggage.

    THE NUMBERS ARE ALL UNDERSTATED. BUT YOU GET THE POINT OF RELATIVE SCALE

    Wars are wars. Civilians die in wars. In large numbers.

    BUT WARS OF IDEOLOGY? MURDER OF YOUR OWN PEOPLE?

    – WW2 CASUALTIES (pretty good data)

    – DEATHS FROM MONGOL CONQUEST

    …. DIfficult but ~50M seems conservative.

    LESSONS OF HISTORY? FOR THE PURPOSE OF SURVIVAL, CHINA AND THE WHITES, AND THE HINDUS SHOULD KILL OFF EVERYONE ELSE BETWEEN EAST AND WEST OUTSIDE OF SUB SAHARAN AFRICA.

    The problem is, we have already got all the intellectually honest and intellectually capable libertarians. What remains are those that are intellectually incapable, or intellectually dishonest, or both.

    But boys will be boys and we should expect schoolyard tactics from the boys that are not yet men.

    SPORT AND RELIGION: PRIORS

    Over the past few days I asked a series of questions about religon. this is because I have a fairly good idea of how to deal with the failings of the church, along with the conspiracy of the state and academy.

    And as an example, I then attacked Soccer (Football) the same way I attacked the church the previous few days.

    Ok. so my serious point here is that I’ve been talkin’ sports, and talkin’ religion, and you know what the difference in arguments is?

    prior investment.

    SPORTS: BRAIN (ERROR), GLADIATOR(STRENGTH), POPULI (SIMPLE) GAMES

    Sean Ring

    As a person who’s lived in 5 countries, I look at it like this: you have the “brain” games (baseball and cricket). Games you have to be taught how to score. It can’t be done intuitively. For instance, you can’t intuit the R H E in a baseball scoreline. Cricket is even harder. I’ve never done a study on it, but I think the only high-IQ country that doesn’t play either of these is Germany. (BTW, chess is not a sport. Period.) Next are what I’d call the “gladiator” games: games that demonstrate the ultimate manhood in whichever country you’re looking at: NFL, Rugby, Aussie Rules, Ice Hockey. Finally, you’ve got the “populi” games: Soccer/Futbol/Football and Basketball, in which any imbecile can figure it out after 2 minutes. Which is why it attracts the types of hooligans they do. Of course, there’s crossovers. But most people have a favourite and you can tell a bit about them by it, wherever you meet them in the world.

    PAGANISM

    There is very little to understand about nature worship.

    There is very little to understand about ancestor worship.

    There is very little to understand about hero worship.

    These are exercises in sacredness: non consumption and ritual demonstration of reciprocity (gifts, observances)

    Evil religions emerged when we adopted corporatism instead of kinship and nationalism. And we did that in only because of war, conquest, and empire.

    Yet all our advancements seem to occur in the periods BETWEEN empires.

    The corporate empire is evil, the kinship nation sacred.

    Empires violate natural law unless all they impose is natural law: nationhood.

    I don’t know because it is, like all deceit by suggestion, incomplete – empty words suggestions morality but leaving the audience to supply what is unsaid, themselves, thereby inserting what they assume are equal goods, rather than what the speaker intends, which is to obscure a set of parasitic bads. Since this kind of statement is the means by which the cosmopolitan deceits have been propagated, I must perform due diligence against such deceptions, by requiring full disclosure, before I can agree to terms.

    THE WORLD IS WHAT WE MAKE IT? WELL, WITHIN LIMITS…

    The world we CAN make is that which is possible given the incentives by which it is possible to influence man (gossip, remuneration, violence) given his rationality (rational choice or moral, amoral, or immoral actions in his interest) and the unequal distribution of talents, technology, and resources – and the value of organization in ever increasing numbers to achieve what his rational choice desires.

  • THANKS TO EVERYONE who contributed to the discussion on religion over the past t

    THANKS TO EVERYONE who contributed to the discussion on religion over the past two days. It was about what I expected. Although what I learned was a) that we have some knowledgeable people, b) that my suspicion about the ability to argue using different techniques is very narrow, c) that people are framed by the church more than world history, and cannot understand the west in the broader context. d) that if we do suggest natural law as the basis for european christianity we can provide consistency between the teachings of jesus as a subject of hellenic and roman civilization, and and the present. e) that it is possible to separate jesus as a reformer of his own people from Paul who attacked roman civilization.. f) … lots more. gotta cut… but anyway, Mandatory Natural Law ends judaism and islamism, since any statement violating natural law is an anathema to man, and constitute a political movement, not a religious movement; …. and both jewish law and islamic law violate Natural Law.

    in other words Natural Law Fundamentalism so to speak, like Natural Law Market Fascism, preserves what we desire, but prohibits the feminins strategy parasitism of the jews by fraud, and the masculine parasitism of the islamists by ignorance.
