    ARE YOU A MORAL PERSON OR NOT?

    I am trying to separate jesus’ material teaching (which was an innovation) from the dogma (lying) for a simple reason that if I want to end ideological, pseudo-rational, and pseudoscientific deception of the people, I must end all lying. I know how to end all lying. The problem is I want to preserve the good that is not lying. But that’s just a legal and technical problem.

    The real question is, would you be willing to force the church to historicize its teachings if you could end all lying by advertisers, marketers, businesses, public intellectuals, teachers and academics, lawyers, media, journalists, and most of all politicians?

    Ending lying in public speech isn’t hard at all (really) once you know how to do it. The question is. We have to eliminate all lying, not just some of it, for it to work.

    If I told you it would very likely DOUBLE your standard of living, rebuild your families, and drastically reduce political frictions, how about that?

    If you say no you are simply a profoundly immoral person.

    You have to kill off a lot of ‘stupid’

    You have to breed for neoteny (big heads and finer bodies).

    You have to get enough of the IQ in the verbal spectrum by transfer of feminine traits to males, without transferring male traits to females, or feminizing males.

    Then you need to kill off even more stupid.

    Then you need to redistribute reproduction upward to those that you’ve produced.

    You will get german/nordics (bigger/heavier), slavs (bigger/lighter), and Celts(smaller/lighter) out of this process in the west. In the Han, well, they just have one population that persisted in the heartland, rather than the Polish-Ukrainian population that kept exporting waves into the european plain.

    BELIEF? I DON’T BELIEVE ANYTHING.

    I don’t believe in anything. I simply can’t find a reason for it to be false yet. If you do that with discipline, the number of things that are left remaining that may possibly be true turns out to be quite small.

    Grow up. Man up. Agency is impossible under falsehoods.

    WHY JEWS DO WELL IN AMERICA: HIGH TRUST GENERAL POPULATION

    —“Israel is a low trust society. I caught a lot of flack for this in the comments, but I stand by this statement. There is an enormous literature tracing the effects of trust and cooperation on firm size and GDP. In general, where social trust and cooperation is low — corruption is higher, and firms tend to be small-scale organizations built on kinship links. Managers must actively monitor their employees, rather than being able to scale up.

    Somewhat surprisingly, Israel stands out as a country with high IQ but low levels of trust. Some 56% of Israelis report that you cannot trust others, which is a figure comparable to other low-trust societies like South Korea or Italy.

    One manifestation of this is that there are very few large Israeli firms. Teva, a generic drugs manufacturer, is a notable exception. By contrast, high-trust Switzerland is home to several national superstars like UBS, Novartis, TAG Hauser, etc. Israel’s economy is dominated by small-scale firms, many of which are founded by people who formed close bonds in the IDF. Even in America, there are host of large Jewish-founded firms, like Google.

    Of course, a lack of large, productive multinationals may play a role in explaining Israel’s relatively poor economic performance. Firms with scale and branding are able to tap into the tail ends of a “smiley curve” economy by focusing on the value-added activities of branding, design, and distribution. Smaller firms operating in heavily competitive industries, by contrast, earn few economic rents.”—
