  • Ordinary Flu Deaths Each Year Are Limited

    Feb 1, 2020, 11:35 AM (compiled) According to the World Health Organization (WHO), flu globally attacks 5%–10% adults and 20%–30% children annually. According to the CDC, during the year when the influenza A (H3N2) viruses are prominent, death rates are typically more than double as compared to seasons when the influenza A (H1N1) or influenza B viruses dominate. This is because the influenza A (H3N2) virus is far more potent and contagious than the H1N1 influenza virus. Hospitalizations and flu season deaths occur mainly among the high-risk groups such as young children below the age of 5 years, the elderly above the age of 65 years, and those with chronic medical illnesses. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), experts say the flu season is in full swing with an estimated 4.6 million flu illnesses, 39,000 hospitalizations and 2,100 deaths from flu so far this season. The rate of outpatient visits for influenza-like illnesses (ILI) spiked in the week ending on Dec 21, from 3.9% to 5.1% — a trend typically seen during winter holidays. Rates of ILI have been above the national baseline of 2.4% for 7 weeks. Twenty-five states and the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and New York City reported high levels of ILI. Flu activity was described as widespread in 39 states. The CDC said hospitalization rates rose to 6.6 per 100,000 population, up from 5.5 per 100,000 population during the second week of December. The highest rate of hospitalization was among adults aged older than 65 (14.4 per 100,000 population), followed by children ages 0 to 4 (12.5 per 100,000 population) and adults ages 50 to 64 (7.0 per 100,000 population). All age groups have seen a significant increase in the last week. The CDC said hospitalization rates mirror previous seasons. Influenza A has been detected in 52.9% of hospitalized cases, and 46.4% were associated with influenza B. In testing at public health labs, influenza B accounts for 58.8% of positive flu samples collected from across the country, 98.7% of which are Victoria lineage. Influenza A was detected in 41.2% of specimens, with most of those (94.8%) subtyped as the H1N1 strain first seen in 2009. “Activity is being caused mostly by influenza B/Victoria viruses, which is unusual for this time of year. A(H1N1) viruses are the next most common and are increasing in proportion relative to other influenza viruses in some regions,” the CDC said. Three pediatric deaths were also recorded in the last week, raising the season’s total to 22. All three recent deaths were associated with influenza B viruses; only six deaths in total this season have been associated with influenza A. In the 2018-2019 flu season, the CDC confirmed 143 pediatric deaths. The CDC encouraged all who have not yet done so to receive a seasonal influenza vaccine, as the season is set to last for several more weeks. DEATHS DUE DO EPIDEMICS The world has seen five pandemics during the last century, which took a large number of lives. Here are the figures of deaths that occurred in the United States and Worldwide during those years.

    1. 1889 Russian Flu Pandemic – about 1 million flu deaths

    2. “Spanish flu” A of 1918-19 caused the highest number of influenza-related deaths: approximately 500,000 deaths occurred in the U.S. and 20 million worldwide. That figure is more than the total number of deaths caused by the World War one — 16 million. As a matter of fact, during that year, the flu had killed more people than any other illness in recorded history.

    3. “Asian flu” A of 1957-58 caused 70,000 deaths in the United States and about one million to two million deaths worldwide

    4. “Hong-Kong flu” A of 1968-69 resulted in 34,000 deaths in the United States and an estimated one million to three million people died worldwide.

    5. 2009 H1N1 Flu Pandemic – about 18,300 deaths in the United States and up to 203,000 deaths worldwide

  • Brachycephalization

    Feb 1, 2020, 3:02 PM Brachycephalization on the western steppe after the Mesolithic Interesting stuff from the ADNABIOARC team at Scientific Reports today: Abstract: The Neolithic transition brought about fundamental social, dietary and behavioural changes in human populations, which, in turn, impacted skeletal morphology. Crania are shaped through diverse genetic, ontogenetic and environmental factors, reflecting various elements of an individual’s life. To determine the transition’s effect on cranial morphology, we investigated its potential impact on the face and vault, two elements potentially responding to different influences. Three datasets from geographically distant regions (Ukraine, Iberia, and the Levant plus Anatolia) were analysed. Craniometric measurements were used to compare the morphology of pre-transition populations with that of agricultural populations. The Neolithic transition corresponds to a statistically significant increase only in cranial breadth of the Ukrainian vaults, while facial morphology shows no consistent transformations, despite expected changes related to the modification of masticatory behaviour. The broadening of Ukrainian vaults may be attributable to dietary and/or social changes. However, the lack of change observed in the other geographical regions and the lack of consistent change in facial morphology are surprising. Although the transition from foraging to farming is a process that took place repeatedly across the globe, different characteristics of transitions seem responsible for idiosyncratic responses in cranial morphology.

  • Fills me with joy.

    Feb 1, 2020, 3:44 PM That feeling when your afternoon consists of a series of short phone calls from real men with real experience who testify that they’re all in on GO-day. Fills me with joy. Story of 2015->Present: Who is this doolittle guy? This guy talks word salad. This guy is crazy – it’ll never happen! The people will never do that! We’d never win because “X”. We might need to do something. I’ve been listening to john mark This is what we need, it’s what I”m looking for Thank you for all your work! I’m ready, Just say go! Pretty much as I said. The fire burns. The wyrm turns. And by the prickling Of my thumbs This way, revolution comes. Edit

  • The Compromise Between Europeans and Christians Is the Same as Between Men and Women: A Trade

    —-“Stop your Nietzscheanism. At least Christianity allows for forgiveness and cancel culture don’t. “We are all sinners,” don’t forget that.”—Haniel @HanielAzzi

    Cancel Culture (marxism, neo-marxism, postmodernism, feminism, and difference-denialism) are just christianity v2: undermining meritocracy, reason, evidence, and testimony by replacing the false promise of life after death with the false promise of equality after replacement. Cancel culture is just the strategy of women to undermine, just as christianity is the strategy of women to create social constructions. This is because women are fearful because their bodies evolved to supply fetuses rather then muscles and speed, they’re nervous systems evolved to include their offspring, and verbal ability a discount on manipulating children. And because of these adaptations they’re physically weaker, and emotionally neurotic, but verbally superior, and so they compete as they can by manipulation, using the positive range of seductions: feeding, caring, nurturing, and informing, and the negative spectrum of disinformations: approval and disapproval vs truth or falsehood, half truth vs complete truth, undermining vs debate, resistance and advocacy vs boycott and cooperation, short term devotion vs persistent loyalty. There are no gods, no heaven, no sins. Only myth, evolution, and crimes. Crimes of violating physical, natural, and evolutionary laws, by acts of irreciprocity in display, word, or deed, that resist our evolution into the gods we imagined by truth, science, technology and markets. We are the only gods that may yet be. And in the test of civilizations, only western man discovered the laws of the universe and adapted their civilization to mirror them. If there were gods, europeans would be the chosen people, Aristotle their prophet, and truth their scripture. Christianity is the religion of false promise, ignorance, deceit, manipulation, en-serfment, poverty, and the dark ages, that asks women, slaves, and the weak, to submit to a false god, of an alien people, who produced nothing except lies, usury, rent seeking, and organized crime. Simple people need lies and social construction to reinforce them against insecurities, worries, stresses, slights, signaling, and status pressures in order to sedate their neuroticism from the pressures of low status and low agency – providing the illusion of understanding and control. It is sufficient for them, just as fairy tales are for children. To say we all need mindfulness: personal, interpersonal, social, political, and metaphysical is nothing more than to state we need to limit the cost of a neural economy frustrated by incalculability of status in the chaos outside the life of the hunting-gathering tribe. To say that pagan ‘religion’, aryan, stoic, epicurean values solved the problem of masculine religions, but did not solve the problem of feminine religion (traditional religion of the hearth), is simply to note that Rome expanded into old poor, majority underclass, semitic civilization without first solving the problem of producing a religion of women, slaves, and underclasses – is simply to say that we grew too fast under aryanism in the ancient world just as we are growing too fast under aryanism in the modern world – and that rates of adaptation reflect confidence, agency(conscientiousness), intelligence, and neuroticism – which is what separates the genders and classes. In a rapidly evolving commercial empire under Western Rome, and a collapsing commercial empire under Eastern Byzantium, Christianity provided women, slaves, and the underclasses a means of obtaining self-worth, and status by demanding reciprocal behavior despite their lack of physical, emotional, mental, social, economic, political agency. Monotheism is the religion of the herd not yet human. But the enduring values of our civlization are not semitic christian – they’re four thousand years old, first captured in writing by the Greeks: Excellence and Beauty, Heroism and Duty, Truth and Oath, Sovereignty and Reciprocity, Jury and Law, and resulting markets in everything as the only means of survival: evolution. This set of values – despite that they were only metaphysical, traditional, and institutional, functioned as the operating principle for western civilization that produced the fastest innovation and adaptation possible by man, and dragged mankind out of ignorance, superstition, hard labor, poverty, starvation, disease, suffering and early death. The restoration of Aristotelian thought, northern and Atlantic trade, the contractualism that trade demanded, the printing and literacy that resulted, re-harmonized our scholarly thought with our social, commercial, legal, and military thought restored european civilization. The 20th century false promises are just the second attempt to destroy western civlization from within – by marxism neo-marxism, postmodernism, feminism, and human difference denialism – planted the fertile minds already accustomed to false promise as escape from reality. The dirty secret of western civlization, is that the martial aristocracy created western civilization by profiting from the incremental domestication man like they domesticated animals, using incremental slavery, serfdom, freedom, citizenship, and sovereignty to produce equals. And the failure of the British Experiment of an Aristocracy of Everyone, was caused in the modern world as it was in the ancient by over extension of the franchise to those peoples insufficiently genetically pacified by western values, to survive persist, and participate in them. So continuing our thousands of years of civilizational tradition, the aristocracy of the masculine who have agency in reality, agree to use our law of reciprocity, to trade loyalty with the priesthood of the feminine who lack agency in reality, to persist our civilization. Because we all prioritize the pagan(aryan/martial), heathen(ancestor/nature), Aristotelian (masculine/scientific), secular humanist (feminine), christian (feminine) differently. And given each of us varies on the spectrum between the feminine and masculine mind, we prioritize our systems of calculating (faiths), according to our genetic needs. But as long as we hold to our ancestral law of oath, contract, reciprocity, jury, markets we survive, prosper, and evolve. And that is enough. And that is what I seek to achieve: the continued evolution of our tradition from informal traditional law, to rights of anglo saxons, to British constitution, to american constitution, to finally a ‘bible’ of western civilization written in the neutral language of our martial-dominant male, judicial-neutral, priestly-feminine Trifunctionalism: the Natural Law of Reciprocity. And our continued evolution into the gods we imagined.

  • Being Left Behind

    The degree to which the cognitively female mind calculates and intuits the possibility of ‘being left behind’ is beyond conservative comprehension. They obsess about being left behind the way we obsess about being out-competed..

    —“Rooted in their fear of the unknown. Which is invisible to those who don’t see the unknown; rather to them, the future exists as a collection of probabilities.”—Andrew M Gilmour

    —“Left behind is a cousin of loss of face – think of it as facets of social life. Hypergamy – why is my husband unable to provide like my friends husband? Left behind – I can’t/don’t want to provide for myself / I need or man or a tribe of men via the state to provide for me and mine (female solipsism allows them to be ok with this without shame as a man would). Loss of face – my husband and cheated on me with my girlfriends and all my friends know and didn’t tell me.”—by Gary Knight

  • More Closure on The Abortion Discussion

    by Shannon Constantine The closure on the debate is that there is no debate. Women aren’t sovereign, they operate within a sovereign territory with permission (from men) to have certain rights and liberties, including the right to do things that are generally seen as repugnant to the majority. That permission can be revoked at any time. CD: Ouch. It’s a good thing a woman said that. Not sure I’m brave enough. 😉

    P lands with: “In the cases of killing in war, capital punishment in justice, suicide in suffering, euthanasia in old age or illness, infanticide in defect, and abortion in utero, we (polities) develop norms, traditions, and laws that permit us to terminate life when the consequences of not doing so are more than we can pay restitution for. The only outlier among these is abortion where (a) woman is as in control of her uterus as a man is in control of his violence – so why is she not as accountable for abortion as a man is for accidental murder, and (b) the outcome of the child’s life is unknown. As such we make these decisions empirically. And we are too forgiving of women in this subject as we are too forgiving (coddling) of women in all others. Why? Because we are biologically and traditionally if not consciously aware that women have lower agency than men, but that they are intrinsically more valuable and less disposable than men.”
