http://judithcurry.com/2012/12/17/limits-of-green-energy-is-the-earth-f_ked/LIMITED ENERGY: WE HAVE ONLY TWO KNOWN CHOICES
a) Control breeding and therefore the population (legal administrative solution)
b) Rapid expansion of nuclear power, and capitalism (organic solution)
There are no political problems. There are no pollution problems. There are no resource problems. The only problem is the unregulated breeding of the lower classes.
Why a woman has the right to bear a child is an open question. She doesn’t.

WESTERN CIV: IT’S THE CHURCH. THE CONTENT OF CHRISTIANITY LOOKS IRRELEVANT.
The west is unique for reasons that appear to be entirely the product of aristocracy.
The church was weak. The tribes were strong. It is the administrative relationship between them that created western culture’s unique attributes: a responsible monarchy.
The actual content of the bible is pretty much a set of analogies that could be applied to circumstance. But it reflected rather than created the west.
Aristocracy is more important than Christianity.
Never imagined that would be the case.

BUYING ISOLATION
It’s very visible. Americans buy spatial freedom as their first priority. Spatial freedom, along with the destruction of marriage, are why household incomes are not keeping pace in the lower classes.
With spatial freedom you no longer have to compromise with others over the mundane things.
But then your self perceived signals are all contrived. And others don’t reinforce them. And we feel alone and isolated. And contentious.
Here the majority don’t have that kind of freedom. And so the signals are less misleading.
And they are more civil because of it. And since relationships are cheap entertainment. And these people are relatively poor – at least for white people – they interact with one another.
It’s not consumerism that’s the social problem. It’s the epistemically problem of isolation and a failure for our signals to endure the test of exposure to others. 😉

I CAN STILL PASS “FACE CONTROL”
Never occurred to me that I might not. That would be embarrassing.

NOTES ON THE CONSERVATIVE STRATEGY OF BANKRUPTING THE STATE
Some people have asked me lately about the long running conservative strategy. Including the alliance between conservatives and libertarians.
I’m using this post to capture a few articles so that it’s more obvious that I’m not alone in talking about this topic.

FACEBOOK FEARS
Two of the people closest to me are allergic to Facebook.
I had to create an account for Todd. With the implied threat that if he didn’t use it, I would happily create an identity for him. And certainly have a fun time of it. ( Todd is extremely sensitive to propriety. And very private. Which provides me no end of entertainment. :). Why is it that saints are private and we sinners so public? 😉
And every photo i take of Veronika is followed by a scornful “If you post that on Facebook I will kill you.”. The frequency with which Kiev’s women threaten to kill men is something I haven’t become accustomed to yet. And that’s because I think they’re serious. 🙂
I wonder if the fact that they are both redheads has anything to do with it.

THE SOUND OF MUSIC: AMERICANS TALKING FINANCE
There are things you miss when you’re away. Some of them are obvious. Most of them aren’t: they’re the familiar things we take for granted.
I was overcome with joy this morning when I heard an American accent. It was the CEO of a large insurance company. He talking about finance with the head of his French operation.
Something familiar that I took for granted.
It sounded like music to me.
We chatted. He laughed.

“I DIDN’T LEAVE AMERICA. AMERICA LEFT ME.”
Any country that wants to demonize white males, is welcome to. I’m a libertarian: You’re welcome to do what you want, just not welcome to do what you want with me.
I don’t want to live in a country where I’m preyed upon by the state, and hold second class legal status because of my race and gender. Where my heritage is disowned and discredited. And where I’m demonized in exchange for my entrepreneurship.
Thanks.
Our enemy: The State. Democracy is the slow road to totalitarianism.

THE DEPRESSING DARK SEASON
A lot of us are affected by the winter darkness. Usually it get to me about this time of year and I need a little sunshine.
I’ve been taking high doses of Vitamin D and it really helps. And this year is better than any other year I can remember because of it.
But I wonder, how does everyone else cope with it?
