—“The average or ‘normie’ conservative is not that much different than the average liberal. It’s harder to define what polarizes people in the middle to one side or the other. They certainly do polarize, and it can happen in relation to very specific traits or sympathies, but nevertheless they still share many overlapping traits or sympathies. We probably tend to think of the NAXALTs as outliers who are at the end of a spectrum, but they are more likely to fall somewhere in the middle of a spectrum where things are most variable. Trait Z may be extremely common in the left wing, and far less common on the right, but the place where conservatives will exhibit it most is probably somewhere towards the middle.”—Jennifer Dean

Interesting. I can’t search my Facebook Activity Log after December 1. I wonder why? Is that a hint that its not being shared or indexed?

MARXIAN ECONOMICS DO NOT MERIT MORE THAN A FOOTNOTE
by Daniel Gurpide
The utter inanity of Marxian economics is so evident that the person who is first and foremost a revolutionary and merely seeks for a rational excuse to preach the overturn of the existing order has to look in other directions, towards other social layers to whom preach the revolutionary gospel.
That’s why the New Left, Cultural Marxism and Postmodernists appeal to the outcasts of modern society, to the eternal Lumpenproletariat, the term understood not in a sociological sense.

“BAN CRAZIES EARLY”
Why do I never learn? I’m kind. I’m tolerant. And every six months or so we get another crazy that I need to get a restraining order on.
Make sure you block Lyons.

Under Social Tripartism and Elite Trifunctionalism, we find
The Scientific and Technical ‘Priesthood’ (The material Universe of those who work)
The Juridical ‘Priesthood’ (Via Negativa – actions of Man) – Those who fight
The Political ‘Priesthood” (via-positiva – organization of man) – Those who pray
While these three forces of elites al compete with one another in an ever shifting equilibrium, the political priesthood is unsettleld on method:
1. Material: History and Realism
2. Mental: Philosophy and Idealism
3. Emotional: Theology and Mythology

Joyce Meier’s christianity – which is continuous training in positive psychological reinforcement of developing emotional agency despite living among classes of people who lack emotional and perhaps executive agency.
The church experience is the reason religion ‘works’ on us – not the content. The content is retained and put to use because of the church experience. the question is then what content we wish retained.
We middle and upper classes forget that forget that the lower middle, working, and laboring classes spend a disproportionate time surrounded by frustrated anxious people lacking emotional and often executive agency.
The more agency you have (the lower your emotional impulse) and the more ability you have( the lower the cost of your learning, problem solving, and self adapting) the easier it is for you to achieve what you want in the world – which (think about this) includes largely avoiding those people that lack emotional and executive agency but entering fields, organizations, and institutions that filter OUT those people that lack emotional and executive agency.
So for colosseum-christianity that uses PRESENT psychology rather than past mythology is what I mean by converting christianity into a folk religion lacking the institutional dogma.
So, if we look at this kind of educational christianity, and the stoic method – a more disciplined means of self authoring and both of which produce mindfulness – and once we have achieved that mindfulness, we seek the epicurean rather than hedonistic life for most; and then if we add the heroic narrative for those of us who have all the agency we can possibly use, then we have everything except debts to nature, our heroes, and ancestors such that we persist the gains of their burdens to provide for us.

(humor: The little old lady is a typical clown-world new england democrat and hates trump. So I get to hear a fist-shaking rant from all 5’2″ of her roly-poly octogenarian frame wrapped in some old-person print-pajamas with my coffee in the morning as she watches the news. To make it tolerable I wind her up with GSRRM, and tell her she’s just jealous that she doesn’t wake up with his arms around her in the morning, with his warm belly keeping her warm. Evokes shudders on a regular basis. )
(For newbs, despite the desire to return to europe, I take care of my frail elderly mother, who is ‘all there’ but otherwise falling apart at the seams and can barely walk across the room even on continuous oxygen. The fact that she’s ‘all there’ and a self righteous democrat means she’s an entertaining toy to wind up and mess with. And it’s not that she doesn’t understand the game. She does. And she loves it. …. Humans are the most entertaining pets. 😉 )

PRODUCTION OF WHAT?
Commons, Goods, Services, Information, and Incentives.
The problem demarcation between scientists that supply information and ‘intellectuals’ that provide incentives unbound by science: truth and reciprocity.
|PRODUCTION| Commons > Consumption: Goods > Services > Information > Incentives
Are there any good intellectuals? Or are they all priests selling false promise baiting the people into hazard?
