    KING OF THE HILL WORKS

    by Luke Weinhagen

    There is an organization that exploded across the world based on the same two things being applied to the learning of P, creating opportunity to fail and playing king of the hill to accelerate development. The guy who built this organization is Greg Glassman, Founder of CrossFit Inc.

    Track down some of the early videos/material, not the Competition/Games related stuff, and you find some pretty solid and productive applications of king of the hill. Make it measurable, then put points on each measurement and say “Go”. Winning points go up on the board.

    (if you listen to the war college lecture and replace the concept “fitness” with “reciprocity” you will start to see similarities in what P is doing with creating methods of measurement, falsification and due diligence – part 4 of the War College lecture goes a bit about the impact of turning development into competition)

    WHY GLOBAL CAPITAL HATES SOVEREIGN DEFAULT

    by Michael Churchill

    Global capital hates defaults because they puncture the whole perma-debt system that keeps overall interest rates lower than they would be otherwise. It’s socialization of risk taken to the meta-level.

    The most obvious example at present is Argentina, whose debt profile is ludicrously unsustainable. They are a ward of the IMF. Without foreign help Argentine dollar bonds would collapse to zero overnight. But you know with smoke and mirrors you can sort of keep them trading — sometimes at 40 cents on the dollar, sometimes at 75. But either way nothing collapses.

    To give an idea of scale, Argentina’s foreign-owned dollar bonds are about $150 billion face value. So it’s a lot … enough to create a mini tidal wave if they went to zero … but not the end of the world. The knock on effect would be the removal of the safety net. So everybody else’s yields on dollar bonds would go from 3% to 4.5% right quick.

    Other countries in shaky terrain are Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Egypt and Lebanon.

    That said, MOST emerging markets are quite solvent. Basically 97% of the other EMs not mentioned above are fine. Much better than 20 years ago.

    ——–

    CD: I want to point out that it’s in the US’s strategic interest now to NOT generate global stability. And in particular, causing a collapse in Pakistan would be extremely useful for much of the world.

    TODAY’S CULTURAL ENRICHMENT

    Restaurant. Lunch. Working. Working on Economics article of constitution. Hispanic group. Older. Grandmother, Grandfather, grandson. Cute kid. Start using facetime or something loud in restaurant. I wait five minutes. Apparently they think it’s ok. No, it’s not ok to talk on a phone, ipad, or computer in a public place at louder than a whisper. Ever. So I walk over, pat the man on the back, and say (in spanish) “This is for the home, not the restaurant. OK?” Says ok. Ten minutes pass. Nothing changes. I re-approach the table and say “Hey. Not ok. This isn’t a ghetto.” This does the job. They are finally behaving civilly. Thirty minutes pass. Woman comes in. Introduces herself, and starts complaining that I disciplined her family. I say yes i did. She tells me I don’t own the place. I say “I own the commons, I own the manners, and you don’t use telephones loud in a restaurant.” she starts withs ome excuse and I say “I choose to protect manners.” She leaves. Twenty minutes later Police. Local. “What happened?” told them. They give me the same drill. I say “well, it’s a commons, it’s my job like any other citizens to police the commons. I should say something to anyone littering and materially polluting in public and I should say something to anyone polluting the commons by their behavior. That’s our job. Manners are a commons”. “Oh, and it’s not like I threatened them.” he says “did you?” I say “of course not”. I said go ask the staff. The staff concurrs. …. Do you see what is happening? We must stop it. Every man a sheriff.

    OUR VERSION OF THE SOCRATIC METHOD: COMPETITION

    (I’m about finished with the propertarian project although there are always nuances to work with, but this is worth repeating.)

    KING OF THE HILL GAMES

    I teach by creating games that men will compete in. This is how men are best taught. Instead of asking questions I start arguments. Instead of preaching an angle, I attack a proposition and force others to defend it. Instead of assuming equality I play king of the hill and bait them into attacking me. Instead of writing essays of appeal I write arguments to criticize.

    BAIT MEN INTO DOMINANCE PLAY.

    Teaching men is really easy: Bait them into dominance play.

    Just as exhaustive forgiveness in tit-for-tat is the optimum cooperative strategy, exhaustive baiting for dominance play is the optimum MALE cooperative strategy.

    Set up King of the Hill games where ANY forward progress gets the men recognition. Do not criticize failure, only cowardice, attention seeking, or time wasting.

    If you are too predictable you will ruin the game. You must present a variety of challenges.

    We cannot feel ‘good’ about learning by conformity the way girls and women do. We must play at fighting or it’s not worth our time.

    AN EXPERIMENTAL CLASSROOM: KING OF THE HILL GAME: TEACHING MEN

    I have developed the “King of the Hill” strategy of discourse (teaching) because it is actually THE BEST method of teaching (masculine) men. Iâ��ve been doing this since we used 300 baud dial up modems and 80 character monochrome screens. And I learned it early.

    Men can attack me and my ideas, without acting vulnerable, or submissive, or begging for attention, but by exercising their dominance. And they can fail and no one cares. This is actually the optimum method of reaching men: we create a dominance game of low risk. We learn from playing this dominance game. The secret is to reward dominance expression if it�s backed by insight, argument, or wit. And to stop on effeminate, abrahamic, and non-argument.

    I make serious arguments to teach. I make half arguments to encourage debate. And I push controversial ideas to encourage them to refute them.

    My role in this game is to play king of the hill, and say “come get me“. I provide symbolic rewards (sharing quotes), and meaningful rewards (investing time in those with potential), and lifetime rewards (skill development).

    That is why this game works.

    Not everyone can play this game. But if they can play this game, and get good at it they will master a very special skill. And it’s that collection of talent I’m interested in creating.

    The internet does change. Men don�t change. The number of stupid men with access to digital discourse simply increases.

    The internet of such men requires street fighting, and I try to create a locker room for street fighters. In that locker room we play king of the hill. WE PUT DOMINANCE PLAY TO CONSTRUCTIVE USE. If you want beta-and-chick-friendly theatre watch TED videos. It’s a cult of pseudoscience.

    I teach argument.. I teach men. (And the occasional woman with character, intellectual honesty, and brains.)

    You might not realize I know this is a game, and that we are playing a game until you meet me in person or talk to me in an interview � because I�m not very much like my online persona.

    This is educational entertainment and theatre.

    I DON’T DO HATE

    I’m pro natural law; pro my people; pro humanity; and pro transcendence; Yes, I will dig on genetic differences, biological differences, genetic differences, cultural differences, class, gender, and racial differences. Yes I will make objective analysis of the those differences. I will work to destroy the cherished lies of every race, civilization, culture, nation, tribe, and class. And I will crush those lies with some sense of both desperation, conviction and joy.

    But I don’t do racism. I hate on parasitism predation, and fictionalism to justify it. But I don’t hate on people. I fault my people for not using their superiority to defend against the group evolutionary strategies of other groups. I fault my people for failing to rule and rule well. I fault my people for intellectual folly and dishonesty.

    I advocate nationalism, tribalism, sovereignty and natural law of reciprocity and markets in everything for all human beings. And as many nations as it takes to transcend all humans through the gradual improvement of all and the gradual reduction of the underclasses that prohibit our transcendence.

    I don’t like hating on people. It’s not Christian and therefore not European. And not even Aryan. The beauty of christianity is that it seeks to extirpate all hatred from the human heart. And once extirpated we are free to use reason, with clear minds and clear judgement.

    I have no problem with war, murder, violence and destruction. i have no problem with rule, punishment, and if necessary incarceration or enslavement.

    I have a problem with hatred. A problem with deception. And a problem with any order other than the laws of nature, the natural law of reciprocity, and the transcendence of man.
