Women are awesome. Remove women from politics and in every other respect they are a complete job. Seriously. I have been incredibly lucky with women. And I can’t really regret any of the relationships I’ve been in.

ST LOUIS.
The people who lost their empire next most quickly, were the people least willing to kill to maintain it (british).
The people who lost them next most quickly were those who tried to maintain them cheaply(french).
The people who lost them next most quickly were those who ran them poorly (russians, mongols).
The people who lost their next most quickly, were those who over extended them (roman).
The people who held their empires, were those that didn’t overextend them, didn’t run them poorly, didn’t run them cheaply, and who were willing to kill to maintain them (China, Egypt).
“Kill them until they stop coming. Then kill all those who you can find. Then kill all their relatives you can find. Then take their best things and burn the rest to the ground – erasing all trace of their existence.”

(Diary: Health Update. Well, I look, think, and feel a lot better. I’m not sure I’m all back together yet, but I’m sure getting there. I have gained almost five pounds, but I think that was necessary, and that I can burn it off. Most of recovering was getting rid of the pneumonia, simply working less, sleeping a lot more, and the rest was avoiding anything antagonizing my allergies. So I still need a bit of a allergy intolerant ‘bubble’ to live in. I have to avoid almost every single preservative there is (making my own butter etc). And the air in urban ukraine was apparently a bigger problem than I understood. So I’ll return to radiant heat and individual air conditioners, and avoid all the central air nonsense that seems to be hell for me. All that said, it looks like in the next ninety days or so I’ll be back in the swing of things. Need to do some serious weight training. This means that it took me a full year to recover this time. But that it could have taken me only six months if I had simply made that my first objective rather than trying to do that, the business and writing at the same time. Sigh. I just need to not do that again. That sucked…lol.)

Funny that it’s so obvious but that its so unintuitive: That Falsehood is epistemically superior to Truth. We spend all our time worrying about what’s true (cause it’s cheap) when the question is whether anything is false (which is expensive.)

PROPERTARIANISM WILL ABSOLUTELY HELP YOU DISCOVER INCENTIVES, JUST AS TESTIMONIALS WILL HELP YOU DISCOVER FALSEHOODS.
—“Incentives are not always easy to identify”—
I dunno. I can almost always identify them.
At worst, it’s pretty easy to create a range of possibilities. It takes practice. But we all want to acquire the same things. And we all start from pretty obviously different positions.
I hate conflict but I can take care of myself. Hence why I have libertarian economic intuitions. ( I have high openness to experience )
I loathe the priestly (pseudoscientific, pseudo-rational, pseudo-ideal, pseudo-mythical) caste. (Purity)
And I feel revulsion toward the underclasses on every level (disgust, purity).
Both of which are a defense of the commons – making me a conservative. (i.e. Masculine reproductive strategy)
So I favor a conservative (eugenic) social order, but with lots of liberty (opportunity) for experimentation and variation in the status hierarchy.
We can measure all these things and predict them and they’re all reducible to brain structures.
We all make excuses to explain what is good when what we mean is that we have a preference.
– Socialism: Feminine Dysgenic Distributed Consumption,
– Market Liberalism: Balanced Market of largely meritocratic distribution,
– Fascism(Nationalism): Masculine Eugenic Concentrated Savings
Are an the Elephant, and only men are the riders that steer them. Women have necessary reproductive intuitions (Drives) but extremely dangerous political intuitions. Men pretty much have the opposite.
If we are properly socialized we are compatible. If we are improperly socialized and given political license we are incompatible.
Americans are improperly socialized.

—“North Korea practices what’s known as destruction of three generations, which is that if you are caught organizing against the regime then not only are you punished, but also your children are punished, and your grandchildren are punished. And that has a very powerful effect on preventing any kind of alternative government from gathering force. And that’s been a frustration to other countries that have tried to promote civil society or dissent of any kind.”—

THERE ARE NO NON-MILITARY ACTIVITIES IN THE CONDUCT OF REVOLUTIONS.
Your plan is one of conquest and defense, and if you are successful enough to propagandize then your plan of maneuver, conquest, defense, and exit was successful.
There are no discounts in war that do not cause loss of capability of soldiers, other than defeating your enemy completely by use of concentration of power, deception, and surprise.
