    —“What is often forgotten is Britain’s responsibility. Islam prior to 1918 was centralized and centred in Istanbul – it was being codified there (and in Ottoman Cairo) and was modernizing. … When Britain backed the Arabs in 1915, they also backed the Saud family and, intententionally, the reactionary Islam of the Arab peninsular to use against the Ottomans – as a consequence we’ve seen the rise to prominence of Wahabbist Islam.”—Aaron Kahland

    Yes, I think it’s not understood that they Koran in use today was written in the 1920’s.

    My understanding of history is that the Chinese insularism, is absolutely the optimum strategy. The principle problem wth the chinese was that they failed to solve the problem of competing interests, and tort law to resolve them, which prevented them from solving the problems of (formal) reason, and science.

    If the romans had built the walls, (which they started) they would have given us ‘china’ in the same way that the mountains gave india, and the desert gave africa, and the oceans gave australia and the americas,

    the central problem has been the tribalism of the people of the desert and steppe: the middle east.

    WE ARE ALWAYS WRONG

    You know, if we had let the soviets expand their ‘communism’ into the islamic countries, they would have crushed islamism, enforced education, and removed muslim illiteracy as well as superstition. Yet their economies would have eventually failed as all socialist economies do. And then they would have transferred to consumer capitalism and markets out of envy rather than resistance.

    We are always wrong. Kings were far better than democracies.

    1 – “All human organizations evolve to maximize rents, until it is impossible for those organizations to adapt to change or shocks.”

    2 – “Organizations that collapse due to the maximization of rents, and inability to adapt to shocks, do not recover.”

    3 – “Collapse is caused by competing organizations with fewer or lower accumulated rents – seeking military economic religious and demographic expansion.”

    4 -“Collapse is preventable by extermination of rents, by the preservation of markets for association, reproduction, production, production of commons, production of defense.”

    5 – “Markets in everything are producible by a government that shifts from redistributive(liberal), to productive(classical), to warfare (fascism) in response to changing circumstances.”

    6 – “Unfortunately, the human intuition is to pursue decreases in effort to calculate, and to maximize regularity, so that fringe opportunities are of the lowest cost to seize with the lowest need to organize to exploit them. And therefore, the human intuition is false (counter) at scale – as in all things. Those who seek regularity seek the luxury of freedom from adaptation”.

    7 – “ergo the only possible means of institutionalizing scale is markets in everything, under a government unable to institutionalize policies that provide discounts in exchange for reducing the ability to adapt to shocks.”

    8 – “that which does not kill you does in fact make you stronger, and the process of continually maintaining and building strength to resist the vicissitudes of man and nature, is produced via negativa : by preservation of competition in al things using markets in all things.”

    #YoutubeHQ Shooter Identified as Nasim Najafi Aghdam

    Iranian Woman.

    A REGISTERED @DNC VOTER.

    PETA Activist

    Wearing Hijab at time of Shooting

    Because of Youtube Censorship.

    The shooter was identified as Nasim Aghdam who slammed YouTube for purportedly censoring her after she claimed that they demonetized her channels, including an exercise one devoted to exercise videos and another devoted to veganism. Aghdam channeled her anger toward YouTube into a manifesto published online. She wrote in her purported manifesto: “Be aware! Dictatorship exists in all countries but with different tactics! They only care for personal and short-term profits and do anything to reach their goals even by fooling simple-minded people, hiding the truth, manipulating science and everything, putting public mental and physical health at risk, abusing non-human animals, polluting the environment, destroying family values, promoting materialism and sexual degeneration in the name of freedom and turning people into programmed robots!”

    I try not to insert myself into others universes unless they’re making a mistake (Pinker on violence (shifting), Taleb on warranty and law vs skin and money, and Peterson on Fictionalism and truth), although I probably should deal with Molyneux and optimistic aggression.

    (Megan would of course love it if I would pursue that line. The problem is, (a) until I publish it’s rude, and (b) criticisms are technical and these guys are educators, and (c) you know, I don’t want attention from island 120, because they’re too dumb to argue with.)

    If I could reduce the question of our age to a simple comparison, the academy is still trying to produce wisdom lit of low offense, while i produce natural law, and the hard sciences produce physical law, regardless of offense. The reason the academy could replace the church was that they produced wisdom lit in every possible fictionalism, and did not produce natural law – and did so because there was a market for falsehood (wisdom lit) an no law prohibiting its sale.
