Upper social class: Discuss Power, Associations, Opportunities.
My social class(upper middle/lower upper): Discuss ideas. Excellences. Possibilities.
The next social class(middle): discuss events, biz, possessions. travel.
The next social class (working): discuss sports, family, experiences
The next social class (proletarian): discuss people.
all the old italian guys in my range of hearing are showing off family, the way other people show of new cars or houses, the way I show off ideas, the way others show off power and opportunities.
The proles make me crazy, and sports are an opiate that tires me, but I’m big on the middle and working class.

Why? Because I’m available to newbies, I have a lot of patience with people, even if they’re hostile, as long as they’re genuine. Because I welcome, we welcome, those who are interested in sharing the work. Because we are attracting a certain kind of person (character) with a certain kind of mind (skeptical), with a certain degree of intellectual ability.
And in no small part because I (we) are not asking people to believe in the value of some proposition so much as teaching the practice of a logical method that demonstrably improves your ability to reason, judge, and argue. WE’re developing and teaching a logic – a skill, that will dramatically change your world view by USING it.
It is very hard to defeat propertarian (testimonial) arguments. It is hard to learn, yes. But once you do, you will be devastating in debate. Which is exactly what we are trying to accomplish as our first stage.
There is enormous POWER in sovereignty, propertarianism and testimonialism, market government, and the group evolutionary strategy of truth, high trust, and innovative velocity.
There is enormous POWER in making use of them. The propertarian revolution is equal in power over correlative empiricism as correlative empiricism was over philosophical rationalism, and philosophical rationalism was over theological rationalism.
We can complete the scientific enlightenment. A few of us.
And take credit for it for all of history.
And save our civilization one argument, one topic, one uprising, one revolution, at a time.

They will rally around a message at the first opportunity. I suspect we have until March at the latest before we have to start attacking them in another wave.
I would like it very much if that wave was ‘why do you have to lie, cheat, and steal, and claim bads are goods, instead of trade with us?’

( There are ways to criticize my work. Doing so helps me. I love good criticism. And you’ll usually get a ‘thank you’ from me for it. But criticizing me is useless. It wastes my time, and you just expose your weakness. Besides, I am far harsher on myself than you can imagine being, and I have more knowledge of myself to work with. )

The left have to use outrage and offense because they cannot use the truth without exposing themselves. so in the absence of the ability to use the truth, they withdraw their cooperation and threaten to defect. We respond to threats of withdrawl (defection) as severely as we respond to threats or cases of cheating.
This is a profoundly important concept in the study of the left’s behavior.
There is a lot of research now confirming our reaction to cheaters and the high costs we are willing to pay to punish and prevent it. MEN are more sensitive to it.
But there is less research on how to confirm our reaction to defectors and rejection. WOMEN are more sensitive to it.
We struggle at all times to retain group integrity. We are wired for it. It affects us pre-cognitively, just as music affects us pre-cognitively (as a holdover from our pre-rational past).
