PARENTING STYLE HAS NO EFFECT ON ADOLESCENT AND ADULT IQ.
Like I’ve been saying: you can screw up your kid, but you can’t make him or her better. The best thing you can do is just do things together as a family, with other families, and in teams, and particularly in team sports.
Sorry. That’s it. It’s 50% genetics, 0% nurture, and 50% consequences in utero.

OMFG. Of all the things I have done, I am most proud of the combination of testimonial truth and operational criticism that complete the suite of criticisms that we call ‘science’.
Just riding high today. Sigh.
I wish I could talk to Popper. He would have understood. Hayek probably not, but Popper for certain.

When I tell Eastern Europeans that American marriages (because of feminism) are business partnerships, not families in the local sense, this is what I am talking about.
I still am not sure I enjoyed being part of the 1%. At this point it merely allows me to write, and innovate in business. But I have become decidedly ascetic outside of nice clothes and a slightly bigger apartment.

I desire to build the best tribe that I can.
That is the top of the pyramid of personal fulfillment.
And the top of the evolutionary period of achievement.
I will cooperate with you as long as it helps me achieve that goal.
And as long as I do not sacrifice that goal.
I agree not to prey upon you.
But if you choose parasitism and to justify parasitism,
Then I will choose predation.
It is far more enjoyable to conquer, enslave or kill you,
Than to be subject to your parasitism and predation,
And to sacrifice by personal fulfillment and evolutionary achievement.

The middle east was the product of the failure of ottoman civilization to modernize on european or Chinese lines, and therefore it was possible for the western powers to colonize it.
When we withdrew colonies from the world, we sent them into tragic wars to fill power vacuums.
The USA stabilized the middle east for two reasons: to prevent the spread of communism and the use of oil as a weapon of communism; and consequently to prevent the use of oil as a strategic economic weapon – as Russia has just demonstrated is so simple to do.
It is not logical to continue to prevent the restructuring of the middle east along national (cultural and genetic) lines. Oil is no longer an issue for us, and the rest of the world no longer lacks the technological basis for suppressing expansionary empires.
Any nation that possesses nuclear weapons can maintain its territorial integrity.
Our problem is in re-nationalizing states. Not just in the middle east BUT HERE IN THE WEST AND IN AMERICA MOST OF ALL.
