“Adults living in a scientific culture are more rational (and intelligent) than adults living in pre-modern cultures. For example, according to studies conducted in the 1960s and 1970s, even educated adults living in Papua New Guinea did not reach the formal stage. Australian Aborigines who were still living a traditional lifestyle barely developed beyond a preoperational stage in their adult years. Without a population that has mentally developed to the level of formal operations, which entails a capacity to think about abstract relationships and symbols without concrete forms, a capacity to grasp syllogistic reasoning, comprehend algebra, formulate hypotheses, there can be no modernization”
Or a concept of reciprocal, negotiated sovereignty!
Conceptualising and operating in such a paradigm is as foreign as colonising mars!

SOUTH AMERICAN OPPORTUNITY FOR POLITICAL ADVANCEMENT
by Michael Churchill
Latin America is a checkerboard with three types of squares:
1) Western civilization (Chile, parts of Argentina, parts of Brazil, nearly all of Costa Rica, parts of Colombia, Panama, half of downtown Lima, parts of Mexico;
2) Primitive civilizations that WORK (rural Peru and Ecuador for instance, Actually the rural parts of much of Latin America);
3) Chaos (Much of Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Rio favelas, Buenos Aires slums, Venezuela).
There are all sorts of interesting possibilities for political advancement in Latin America. The mere fact that Bolsonaro EXISTS tells you it’s not just going to be a repeat of idiocy ad infinitum.

lolz. The fact that the liberals don’t ‘get’ the ‘inner monolog’ observation as evidence they don’t get the function of inner monologs… the irony is painful.

A HARD QUESTION OF IDENTITY THAT BOILS DOWN TO GENETIC LOAD
—“Curt, I want to ask you, as an Iberoamerican, Hispanic, or Latino American, (whatever you want to call us), What is the propertarian viewpoint of the Spanish-Portuguese conquest of Americas? Taking into cosideratión the massive and fast mixing of the “races” (Amerindians, Europeans, and Black Africans). Our countries are among the most Unequal in the world, competing with the south of Africa for IQ disparity. Are we part of the western civilization, or just some weird bastardization of it?”— A Facebook Friend (I’ll leave this one anonymous)
(WARNING: This is an unpleasant assessment of human capital – measurements of this kind are not ‘kind’ to our emotions. But measurements can be made.)
DEMOGRAPHICALLY, IT’S NOT COMPLICATED
The iberian conquest of south american by european people was a near genocide, and certainly a civilization-cide, but the result was in fact, an unequal distribution of net improved human capital.
You (South Americans) are still (presently) a ruling IE Population (Caste) like the IE’s in India vs the Dravidians. You are following the same course of development as they did in India. Like India, the native population is too large for you to genetically carry. Either you will politically interfere with their breeding rates, or continue to form a caste system as you do now, or separate as southern brazilians want to, or you will disappear as did the IE’s of india. There are no IE’s left in India. Only variations of the 70-30 to 30-70 mixture. in that sense, indians evolved into a separate civilization and a separate sub-race.
You (South Americans) are still Western (Christian, Aristotelian, Rule of Law, European) due to genetic traits, institutions, and traditions, but Western Civilization includes the spectrum of peoples: south american (hispanic-amerindian-african), vs north american (european, african, hispanic, and now Asian), vs southern european (old european/balkan), vs northern european (newer european/germanic/scandinavian) , vs slavic (newest european), vs Russian/Slavic (pure european), vs FInnic (Northeastern European). And the three major christian religions, plus the secular christian religions we call variations of social democracy.
At present, yes, south america is part of western civilization although we are seeing quite a bit of literature stating it is it’s own civilization. A trend which will continue once the current experiment with democracy has completed (ended).
In 1000 years, will that be the case? In as little as 100? The genetic load of the native population is far too high. Just as the genetic load of the USA is now too high. and if you follow me you will recall that decline in economic and political potential is non-linear and accelerates rapidly below 97( which is 1/2 std deviation from those who can learn by reading instructions and fixing machines).
The future of South America is that of India and its challenges, not China and its advantages.
The choice of what happens to the european minority in the higher distributions is something you must come to terms with.
As you know, genetic load determines nearly everything.
Cheers.

Who told me to read Gómez Dávila’s “De Iure”? Great tip. I can’t think like a latin but he’s sure close.

The problem is that we (With Agency) simply cannot imagine the amount of time the left (lacking agency) thinks about inequality or status or being left behind. We just can’t imagine the obsession that they find in every moment. Their frame, constantly reinforced by some sort of rejection or other signal, or interpretation of some event as ‘being left out, or left behind, or less, or not rewarded for their contributions.’
They can’t imagine how we can be so rational (they assume we have their psychological problems) but we can’t imagine how obsessed they are with their inability to obtain from others what they could obtain from parents by childish display.

Um. OK? Love women. They are not men. Reason with men. Love women. It’s not complicated.

WAR OVER SCRIPTS
by John Mark
The culture war is the battle over whose scripts control the most NPCs.
NPCs lean mostly left because the lies feel better. The Right has a built-in disadvantage in the culture war. On top of that, the Right-wing NPCs (“No more illegals but yay legal nonwhite immigrants bcuz I don’t want to be wacist!”) actively support invasion of millions of enemy NPCs every year.
Thus we cannot win back America by winning the culture war. Give us 20 years with no immigration, maybe. But because of immigration we don’t have the time.
So we separate.
