#Trump The left has not grasped that gossip, shaming, ridiculing, and rallying cease to function when the opposition choose to separate.

EUROPE AND EAST ASIA ‘HAVE DONE BETTER’ BECAUSE OF TERRITORIAL ADVANTAGE WITHIN GEOGRAPHIC FORTRESSES
Fortress Europa obtained non-territorial advantage by:
A COLLECTION of hypotheses that include:
a) europeans have higher neuroticism (creativity)
b) europeans have lower clannishness (dislike of outsiders)
c) europeans have dramatically reduced the size of the underclass ( produced a higher distribution of Iq, and lower distribution of testosterone)
d) there seems to be a longstanding IQ advantage in the north and an intellectual tradition into pre-history in the british isles (the ‘athens’ of pre-literate europe).
e) the yamnaya brought aryanism (realism, sovereignty, martial rule, hierarchical organization, testimony, jury, common law ) to europe. And that this has been our most meaningful competitive advantage.
f) that each wave of europeans out of Ukraine has been as much an ‘improvement’ over the prior as each wave out of Africa was an ‘improvement’ over the prior – for the same reason; africa and the steppe are brutal evolutionary furnaces.
As far as I know all these hypotheses survive all possible scrutiny without requiring a particular genetic advantage other than perhaps reduced clannishness common among circumpolar peoples.
This is why I adhere to this solution. Because it does not depend upon ‘magical’ genetics evolving by accidental mutation in the european genome, but merely adaptation to local conditions from a marginally indifferent set of homo sapiens in the past.
As far as I know all human variation is in intensity of expression of possibilities extant already in the genome.

AS I UNDERSTAND IT THIS IS THE CURRENT UNDERSTANDING OF REGIONAL AND NOW TRIBAL, GROUP GENETICS.
As far as I know all human variation is demonstrably caused by little more than the intensity of expression of possibilities extant already in the genome. Despite partial speciation, we did did not complete sufficient physical speciation for typical classification because our primary means of speciation migrated from the physical to the conceptual, and the conceptual is highly affected by the distribution (norm) and therefore physical expression required little physical mutation in the genome, only substantial modification of the mind post birth. These changes have been consistently selected for whenever possible and they universally favor selection for youthfulness (fertility), which is achieved by delaying the intensity of maturity. A point which asians have unfortunately probably exceeded and whites have approached with dangerous proximity.

—“If the silver rule (definition of “the bad” via defining “not good”), creates a clearing for people to seek and define any possible good (a market for the good) then we could classify the desirable behavior in this market as virtues. Now signaling has a value. We cant reduce virtue to signaling only. But rather to decoupling signaling as a basis for moral judgements (decidability), and coupling it to the idea of manufacturing “the good”… thinking in terms of Adam Smith’s argument for “being lovely”. Being held in high esteem (loveliness) by those we respect, which we’d call reputation, incentivizes us to produce “the good”. This is why I don’t like signaling to take a back seat to consequentialism or to discount it as a juvenile sentiment – Because it’s important: it serves us in decidability.”— Bill Joslin

—“Western Europe was the richest region in the world for nearly all the last 2,000 years. The only exception is 1000 AD. Secondly, Western Europe has virtually always been richer than Eastern Europe. This was true long before communism came into the picture. Third, in 1 AD Africa was richer than Eastern Europe and Eastern Asia. In 1 AD Africa was also richer than Africa in 1820 AD. Progress is not inevitable.”—

THE DISTILLATION OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION
If you would be sovereign, you must fight.
If you would be sovereign and win, you must equally confederate.
If you would be sovereign and confederate, you must equally compromise.
If you would be sovereign and equally compromise, you must equally forgo opportunities for gain at another’s loss.
If you would be sovereign and equally forgo equal opportunities to gain at another’s loss, your actions are limited to those that are productive, fully informed, warrantied, and voluntary, and limited to productive externalities.
If you limit your actions to those, then the ONLY possible rule is rule by Common, judge-discovered, Natural Law of Non Imposition of Costs, and therefore, voluntary markets in everything: association, cooperation, reproduction, production, production of commons, production of dispute resolution, production of institutions, productions of monuments, production of war, productions of generations,
This is Western Civilization: the choice of Sovereignty once made produces all that we have done. Small things in large numbers have vast consequences.
If you would be Sovereign, and reap the benefits of Sovereignty, you must fight – fight to deny others all possible alternatives.
If you will not fight you cannot be sovereign.
You may beg the Sovereigns for commercial liberty, or physical freedom, or charity, in exchange for compensation. But you may never be in fact sovereign.

ON UNIONS
The unions made common mistakes of overreach. They began with the moral: safety, liability, minimum wages, profit sharing, and replacing with cheaper workers (arbitrage). But then proceeded with overreaches that varied from moral hazard: demands for impossible future claims: continuous increases and pensions; then to the immoral: mandatory membership, mandatory fees, and fostering endemic corruption; then to the violation of natural law: interfering in the political process.
It’s a shock to capitalists and free marketers raised on the myth of constant growth made possible under the agrarian and industrial (hydrocarbon) eras, and prohibiting temporal labor arbitrage is perhaps hard for the layman to understand when it occurs across decades of time rather than across national borders, but men are not commodities and their marketability declines rapidly after choice of first opportunity – and seizing all the ‘best’ time at the lowest price under promise of future rewards is merely an act of fraud. So it is all too easy to socialize uncompetitiveness and privatize commons into the hands of investors and capitalists.
Most capitalists cannot compete under free trade because profits would be much smaller. Contrary to libertarian dogma, and contrary to anglo bourgeois values, while the puritan/manorial work ethic is an unquestionable good, and while rule of law assisting in capital concentration and formation is an unquestionable good, as a good Propertarian we query ‘But what are the limits of that good? Because there exist no unlimited theories and therefore no unlimited goods.’ And we find that it is possible to socialize losses and privatize gains if we do not perform full accounting.
And a full accounting only ends when we have reduced all accounts to ‘time’. Because it is ‘time’ that is the currency we trade.
