UPDATE ON SHRUNKEN HEAD MARKET VALUE
In 1919 shrunken heads were worth around $4.00, the equivalent of $57.33. Then in the 1930’s victim heads were made to order for around $25.00, which is around $275.02 in today’s economy. By 1952 a head was advertised in The Times for $250, which would be $2,231.36 now.
Shrunken heads are a light, high value, commodity money substitute. 😉

OK. Let’s pretend this is a serious question rather than “Maybe I can get Doolittle to laugh.”
Heads are heavy and expensive. (About ten pounds).
Scalps are light and expensive, but easy to fake.
Shrunken heads are costly to produce.
Skull pyramids are costly to produce.
Therefore shrunken heads make an exceptional substitute for a ‘gold standard’. So, buy-in for the franchise, (the number of shares you acquire) can best be paid in shrunken heads.
The skull pyramids are just status symbols that demonstrate one’s contribution to the common good.
QUIZ
For an extra ten points please explain how Inflation can be affected by shrunken-head backed currency, and how inflation can be limited.

I hear taxidermists use peroxide for superior aesthetics, in 20-40% concentrations.
As far as the shrunken heads, the first step in head shrinking is generally skull removal.
So shrunken heads and skull pyramids are not mutually exclusive!Jan 5, 2019, 2:27 AMArno KælandSerious question: what length and strength is optimal for a Vlad Tepes stake?Jan 7, 2019, 5:41 AMCurt DoolittleThree feet in the ground, three feet of clearance, plus the height of the individual. So minimum twelve, preferable fifteen feet. (4.5-5.5 Meters)
Also depends upon whether it’s by anal insertion (torture) or abdominal insertion (display). lolJan 7, 2019, 8:35 AMSteven JacksonAnal torture prevents the spread of disease by locking in the feces, waste fluids run down the stake and don’t drip on those walking underneath.
Abdominal insertion allows for fluids to drip off toes and fingers potentially ruining the experience for visitors and observers.
Also, the screams ensuing from anal insertion reduce the budget for production, the tortured are loud enough acoustically, we just need to light themJan 7, 2019, 8:51 AMDarren HowellDiameter of said stake??? This is gunna tickle…🤔🤔😳😳😳Jan 8, 2019, 5:09 PMTHE ECONOMICS OF HEADS.

Ashkenazi went thru a bottleneck after selecting for literacy, and they seem to have saved their rabbis first, every time they were punished for usury and conspiracy with the state against the people, and they consistently pushed reproduction up thru the rabbis – and that’s all it took.
Adaptation may be slow but expression of bottlenecks (eugenics) is not. Six generations and miracles can happen.

MORE ON THE VULNERABILITY OF WESTERN NATIONS
(Rule of Threes…three weeks without power, three months without order…)
—“an Iranian military journal has floated around the idea of launching an EMP attack as the key to defeating the U.S. In an article titled “Electronics to Determine Fate of Future Wars,” the journal explains how an EMP attack on America’s electronic infrastructure would bring the country to its knees.
“Once you confuse the enemy communication network, you can also disrupt the work of the enemy command- and decision-making center,” the article states. “Even worse today when you disable a country’s military high command through disruption of communications, you will, in effect, disrupt all the affairs of that country. If the world’s industrial countries fail to devise effective ways to defend themselves against dangerous electronic assaults, then they will disintegrate within a few years. American soldiers would not be able to find food to eat nor would they be able to fire a single shot.”
Reporting to Congress, the EMP Commission concluded that little in the private sector is hardened to withstand an EMP attack, and even the U.S. military itself has only limited protection. In 2005, Former CIA chief James Woolsey affirmed these facts and urged the country to take steps necessary to protect against the potentially devastating consequences. In testimony before the House International Terrorism and Non-Proliferation Subcommittee, Woolsey referred to the nuclear EMP threat as “a SCUD in a bucket” whereby:
“…a simple ballistic missile from a stockpile somewhere in the world outfitted on something like a tramp steamer and fired from some distance offshore into an American city or to a high altitude, thereby creating an electromagnetic pulse effect, which could well be one of the most damaging ways of using a nuclear weapon.”
“…We do not have the luxury of assuming that Iran, if it develops fissionable materials, for example, would not share it under some circumstances with al-Qaida operatives. We don’t have the luxury of believing that just because North Korea is a communist state, it would not work under some circumstances to sell its fissionable material to Hezbollah or al-Qaida.”—

“It is maintained in this paper that the successful
assignment of race to a skeletal specimen is not a vindication of the race concept, but rather a prediction
that an individual, while alive was assigned to a particular socially constructed ‘racial’ category. A
specimen may display features that point to African ancestry. In this country that person is likely to have
been labeled Black regardless of whether or not such a race actually exists in nature.”

In contrast, the largest brain size recorded for an individual ape is 700cc’s. Scientists for a long, long time have known blacks have smaller brain size on average. If you can find a 1959 enclyclopedia Britannica the section on races will mention Whites have a larger brain size on average. The juice and liberals have had this racial information scrubbed from most books published after 1959. These are African Amercan stats the Sub Saharan black brain even smaller and IQ around 75. Dumb people will say blacks can be doctors, lawyers etc. that just repetition, practice anyone can do that but creativity is where smartness counts. The African hasn’t created nothing, couldn’t even grab concept of the wheel, domesticate animals, written language and so on. It’s sad that we cant discuss the truth that word racist is so important.

I wonder what caused it.Jan 4, 2019, 11:47 PMAndrea RoyallWhat I see in modern infants is… they’re either premie, or sick and they’ve laid too long on one side and it’s created angles in the skull. These children go to a cranio-plastics physician and are measured and fitted for helmets that place pressure on certain points on the skull to decrease the angles. That can create a slight “dome” in the forehead. The helmets have a much higher efficiency if the Fontanelle hasn’t closed.Jan 4, 2019, 11:51 PMAndrea RoyallThat’s why I’d be interested to know how old that skull is…Jan 4, 2019, 11:51 PMCody McDonaldAsians and Caucasians are human the rest are notJan 5, 2019, 12:26 AMOdin WachtendorfTo be fair though, all hominids are a human.

The opposite was found in Proto-Indo-Europeans, more specifically Bell Beakers, who practiced intense board-swaddling on their babies to flatten their occipital bones, making them hyperbrachycephalic; a phenomenon still seen in East Asia and Southern Siberia, the latter being the place of origin for the paternal line of PIE people.Jan 5, 2019, 5:35 AMLisa OuthwaiteGöran Dahl Some of them fall into that category but head-boarding doesn’t increase the cranial volume. Some were legitimately elongated and larger. It explains why some societies practice such a bizarre custom – in order to mimic a previous elite class.Jan 5, 2019, 6:07 AMSimon StrömIan Malmström get varg out of your head. Modern Eurasians are closely related in a global context on account of having separated from Africans before splitting up while colonizing the world. Minuscule Neanderthal/Denisovan admixture are artifacts of having displaced other hominids during said colonization.Jan 5, 2019, 6:24 AMMartin ŠtěpánSimon Ström Didn’t Asians and Indo-Europeans leave it separately, making both of our closest relatives Africans and the similarities between us a case of convergent evolution?Jan 5, 2019, 6:59 AMMartin ŠtěpánAustralian is often unmentioned because they’re ultimately insignificant, as are dravidians. I also used to believe in Amerindian bring a separate race, altough I’m not sure where I got it from.Jan 5, 2019, 7:01 AMMartin ŠtěpánAgain, isn’t the divergence of Asians from Africans a seperate event to the seperating of Indo-Europeans from Africans?Jan 5, 2019, 7:03 AMCody McDonaldPeople may have went to Central Asia first and branched from there , also Asians have some other homonid mixed in with them like Europeans n whites have neanderthal mixed inJan 5, 2019, 7:26 AMAbhimanyu KarnawatRetards everywhere,do you understand the ecological fallacy?Jan 5, 2019, 8:13 AMAbhimanyu KarnawatDo you understand the bell curve?Jan 5, 2019, 10:13 AMSimon StrömNo. West (Caucasoid) and East (Mongoloid) Eurasians are more similar to each other than to Africans in terms of raw quantitative genetics, meaning shared drift and common descent, and not just by phys anthro metrics which may or may not be a result of convergent evolution.
Indo-European is an ethnolinguistic term which should not be used as a synonym for West Eurasians.
It should be stated however that all West Eurasians have varying degrees of ancestry from the “basal eurasians” who separated from the main Eurasian branch of anatomically modern humans, before the latter split into what would constitute the bulk of ancestries of West and East Eurasians, respectively.Jan 5, 2019, 5:54 PMAaron MilewskiOne more for the pile. 👌Jan 5, 2019, 7:21 PMLee TuckerGöran Dahl I thought Malay rated a separate categoryJan 6, 2019, 12:08 AMGöran DahlVery odd thing to say when they look like your average run-of-the-mill Southeast Asians, like Thais and Vietnamese.
