  • Where Did It Start?

    Feb 9, 2020, 6:20 PM WHERE DID IT START?

    —“What part of the world did the gene for “higher IQ” start, and why?”—

    INTERESTING QUESTION 1) We seem to have been continuously evolving intelligence for a long time. It’s very difficult to make a case for intelligence developing in other than africa. It’s easy to make the case that between exiting africa and the present, selection pressure may have put serious upward pressure on groups in higher latitudes. But there isn’t any difference between a guy with a 140 iq from Ghana, a 140 iq from Beijing, a 140 IQ from Persia, and a 140 IQ from England that isn’t reducible to minor variations in the bias between verbal-experiential and spatial-mechanical abilities. 2) As far as I know, neoteny (reduction of rate and depth of sexual maturity) provides us with most of our gains in intelligence. 3) As far as I know the difference between the classes is genetic load (accumulated defects) in the lower classes. 4) As far as I know the primary difference between the races and sub races is the relative size of the lower classes, meaning that some groups are burdened with many more lower IQ people per high IQ person. This explains differences in averages. 5) As far as I know races, subraces, classes, and genders vary a bit by standard deviation in both intelligence, and personality traits, with both appearing to reflect degree of neoteny (asians most, then whites then mixes, then africans) 6) as far as I know there is no gene for higher IQ, so much as lower genetic load, larger brain volume, neurological density, and more time to mature. In other words, it works the other way around. 7) So you want a small lower class, the optimum degree of neoteny, a big brain with lots of neurons. Han Chinese (most Chinese are not Han) have large round heads, are highly neotenous to the point of producing negative side effects (higher emotional instability), and it seems that their intellectual peak is early. 8) The delta in intelligence between groups appears limited in the upper classes (at the same level of intelligence) but there appears to be different ability in the way intelligence is expressed between europeans, ashkenazi (half european jews), and east asians.

  • Our Proposal Is Hard to Refuse

    Feb 10, 2020, 2:11 PM P-Constitution, it’s nationalization of consumer credit, and its prohibitions on rent seeking, will destroy the entire rent seeking structure of the western economies, preserving only those investments that contribute to production. The entire insurance industry, mortgage industry, credit card industry, and any business that makes it’s money from credit rather than production and sale of goods and services will collapse with all the wealth retained by the laboring, working, and middle classes. The Concentration of wealth in DC, NY and via New York to Hollywood/LA will vaporize within months. Investors will flee to Assets. The prohibition on baiting into hazard, and the institution of involuntary warranty; the liability for testimonial speech in public, restoration of defamation, and the extension of defamation to defense of the commons; and the loss of copyright protection other than creative commons will collapse the media and advertising business as they desperately seek to reform. Capital will seek safety first, then alliance with the treasury on investments, and the states will have no alternative than to follow germany, japan, and south korea into competing with china on tech, and depriving china of its market. The requirement for right to repair and limits to labor arbitrage will restore european markets. The distribution of liquidity directly to citizens to maintain spending, and the deprivation of ‘undesirables’ from this distribution will drive them out of the market. This strategy amounts to paying off the middle to destroy the top and bottom.

  • The Choice of Values Is a Luxury Good Produced by Your Polity

    Feb 10, 2020, 8:36 PM When you say you hold X values:

    (a) What are you not accounting for and not accounting for? (b) How does your opinion hold up against the kantian imperative, ‘if everyone did that then’? (Which is just the same as the conservative intuition). (c) How does your opinion hold up against the kantian imperative in competition with hostile parties within your polity intent on depriving you of your choice or preference? (d) How does your opinion hold up against the kantian imperative in competition with hostile parties external to your polity intent on depriving you of your choice or preference? (e) So again, what are you accounting for, or failing to account for? Values only matter within the limits of the market for tolerance of them in the circumstance – in other words, values are a luxury good produced by reciprocity within the limits of proportionality within the limits of the available geography, ecology, political ecology, economy, location, and time and space. Demands (Necessities) vs Preferences (Values)

  • Answer to Today’s Question

    Feb 10, 2020, 8:43 PM by Stephen Thomas

    –“What’s your position on (hostile political) ‘critics’ that we have seen Israel, the Saudis, and the Russians execute?”–

    Define “critic”. 1) Is the critic exposing factual information or behavior showing violations of Natural Law? Or 2) Is the critic simply whining about having failed to have his wants served by others? Or 3) Is the critic engaging in ORRGSM (subversion) and causing damage to the Commons with their lies? The first is necessary to protect the Commons from parasites (EMAS). The second is well… pathetic and sometimes healthy. Venting to avoid potential turmoil. The 3rd is unacceptable and must be stopped. Assassination is usually extreme but sometimes warranted. So, the critic defines the validity of the response. A critic should also provide solutions or their words have no legitimacy.

    CD: note how Stephen based his argument on the natural law, and used a series(precision), and then answered with the series rather than a single ideal type (average). This is how you answer questions in natural law.

  • The Cost of Non European Civilizations to Themselves

    Feb 11, 2020, 7:32 AM

    —“Do you think being a european or not can be measured by the volume of the hazards of the externalities a person causes while coercing/persuading one’s self? And how the community constantly arranges to insure the externalities and and cover the damages?”— Mea Culba

    Non european communities seek to minimize stress of adaptation through relative equality and harmony – producing relative stasis – rather than adaptive competitive excellence – producing relative evolution, and the continuous distribution of the benefits of innovation and adaptation. Well, that’s the inverse of saying european civilization’s realism, naturalism, operationalism, empiricism, identity, logic, rational choice, reciprocity, together that constrain our logics, sciences and laws, collected in the physical laws of nature, the natural law of man, and the laws of testimonial thought and speech, place the highest burden on our conscientiousness and reason in exchange for eliminating frictions personal interpersonal political and external, and therefore the least frictions of innovation adaptation and evolution. We (europeans) evolve the fastest because we minimize the personal, interpersonal, social, political, and external hazards of falsehoods, each of which seeks to avoid the cost of stress required by continuous competition, innovation, adaptation, limited to reciprocal, truthful, and productive means.
