***Languages evolve to suit the ‘computational’ abilities of the demographics that they serve. And they further evolve to to suit the technical, economic, and political complexity that they serve. In most cases, the difference between languages has to do with the demands of their state of development.***

What I’m also getting at is the possibility that the out of africa IQ regardless of generation was higher and that in some cases it declined and others it increased.

***So what I’m getting at, is the possibility that the middle east conflict zone increased tribalism and aggression which it exported, not that we started out more aggressive and have become less so.***

IT DOESN’T MATTER IF RICH PEOPLE BREED.
Rich people are outliers. It’s not that important that rich people reproduce. Although we should laud the great (noble) families that persist in the reproduction of excellence across generations and ask them to serve us by greater reproduction. But wealth tells us very little. Economies are lotteries, and they must be or people would cease to play the economic game. So in the end, the general necessity is that the middle class is afforded all opportunities to breed, and the underclass is afforded all opportunities to consume rather than breed, so that we constantly defeat the red queen’s regression to the mean.

PROPERTARIANISM ISN’T ANTI ANYONE.
Propertarianism doesn’t tell people they’re ‘bad’, only that they’re doing what they must. Propertarianism only tells us that the only solution to conflict is to pay the underclasses to protect markets by limiting or eliminate there reproduction and the profound costs they and their descendents place on others. It’s the cheapest investment with the highest returns we can make.

GROUP GENETIC INDIFFERENCE AT SCALE
Our group genetic differences are indifferent at scale as long as our distributions of the classes are indifferent at scale. The problem facing all groups is the size of their underclasses: THEY ARE NEVER SMALL ENOUGH.

ASYMMETRY IN OUR CONFIDENCE OF SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY
The principle success in the physical sciences is the publication of many findings that eventually converge (possibility) or diverge (falsehood).
We know we cannot intuit the first principles of the universe – although IMHO we are getting close to returning to ‘ether’ lol.
But when in matters of biology, sentience, and cooperation, we cannot STOP ourselves from intuiting answers, and as such we attempt to propose conclusions too early.
Worse, we cannot even compose tests that do not in and of themselves produce desired answers. We simply do not know how to.
So in both the imperceptible physical world, the imperceptible sentient world, and the imperceptible cooperative (social/political/economic) worlds, we are equally blind.
The problem is we think we are unequally blind.
Anything you intuit that conflicts with the least-cost algorithm of nature is wrong.
Nature can’t choose. She does what is cheapest, and what is cheapest is the first available transformation.

VERISIMILITUDE AND CONVERGENCE ON THE TRUTH
If you conduct your research with the scientific method, then you will simply attempt to falsify everything until no matter what you do you start producing increasingly similar answers. When you cannot find a way to come to a dissimilar answer then you have either converged on the truth, or some approximation of it given the knowledge, logic, and tools available to us at the time

THE COST OF RUNNING CIVILIZATIONAL TESTS
Ancient (primitive) peoples could not afford to perform experiments that tested the theories (promises, testimony) of the priesthoods. And some of those theories were untestable. We have run those tests today. Even though we could not afford them. And the result was the dark ages, and the continental enlightenment/marxist/postmodernist attempt to return to them.

ALL PEOPLES CAN ADOPT THE BEST OF THE EUROPEAN CIVILIZATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES
Only europeans could invent sovereignty, rule of law, reason, low context, high precision language, and markets in everything. And as such only europeans dragged humanity kicking and screaming out of superstition, ignorance, poverty, starvation, hard labor, child mortality, early death, disease, and the vicissitudes of nature in a universe hostile to life. But that said, *Any people willing to adopt the Government of the Universal Militia of Sovereign Men, and constrain the base impulses of the under classes can make use of that european civilizations technology.* Any group willing to do so can adopt it. It’s difficult. But it will work.
