  • How Much Agency Do We Have?

    October 7th, 2018 11:20 AM HOW MUCH AGENCY DO WE HAVE? Via Eric Danelaw The broader question is, how much agency do we have? Women and men demonstrably think very differently because of the difference between utility and truth, and between proportionality and reciprocity, and between dysgenia and eugenia. Why do we assume that this same cognitive bias is limited to gender rather than a balance between the genders, and that different groups don’t just demonstrate the male cognitive bias or the female cognitive bias? Truth, Reciprocity, and Physical Violence that Ends when Ended, VERSUS Fraud, Proportionality, and Reputation Destruction that Never Ends until Destroyed.

    Um. Lots of people get some of it. Very few people get most of it. And internalizing it fully is non trivial. Just how it’s got to be. If you have economics, science, philosophy, history, then it’s easier. Otherwise, the layers of the onion take a while to get thru.

  • No One Questions Russians Militarily.

    October 7th, 2018 11:03 PM

    —“US experts say that the Russians are not capable of taking a direct clash with an army of equal manpower sounds weird indeed.”—

    [T]his is not a question of Russian bravery (which no one doubts) or Russian skill (which no one doubts) or Russian technology (which fell behind but is catching up), but a question of Economics. America has a vast number of combat experienced troops, and can put men and equipment in the field anywhere faster and with more operational coordination. Americans have spent a great deal of time with current combined arms and technology. And the men are well trained in large numbers to use it. No one questions Russians militarily. But Russia has not had enough time to recover population, skills, diverse economy, technological manufacturing capacity, and rule of law, to fight among the great powers. What Russia has is missiles. These missiles can be used precisely once. If they are used, there may be no USA, or no world, but there will be no Russia either. Americans will not do that. Particularly to “Our own people in Christendom”. No one thinks Russians are that stupid. 😉 Just Proud. And we like it that Russians are Strong and Proud.

  • No. There Is No Conflict Between Russian and American People.

    October 7th, 2018 7:46 PM NO. THERE IS NO CONFLICT BETWEEN RUSSIAN AND AMERICAN PEOPLE. Posted by DmitryPravda, Journalist I am Dmitry Sudakov, editor of Russia’s leading newspaper Pravda Hello everyone, (UPDATE:) I just wrote an article about my AMA experience yesterday. Here it is: http://www.pravdareport.com/opinion/04-10-2018/141722-pravda_reddit_ama-0/


    Dmitry; Russian people and American People are the most similar in the world. Russian Political Class and American political class are opposites. It is inconceivable to a russian that americans can be so naive (we are). It is inconceivable to americans that russians can be so dishonest (they consider it, as do the arabs and jews, honorable). Everyone knows that the ambition of the Russian Political Class is to prevent the infection of the russian people with western ‘progressivism’ (hedonism). They are RIGHT TO DO THIS. Unfortunately, like every mistake russians have made in a century they simply don’t state the truth: (a) we cannot allow the decline of the west to spread to the rest of the world. All you americans and europeans do is create chaos because you think others are like you and CAN be like you. The are not. And they Can’t be. They don’t want to be. And even if they could be they would consider it evil. And they are right. Consumption is not of greater value than harmony. We are surrounded by dangerous people on all sides. We need harmony. (b) Yes we punish revolutionaries because we are not willing to fall in to the chaos that America is falling into today. We had our collapse and we will never let it happen again. So we do what slowly improves our people so that we never have ‘the chaos’ again. (America is very close to collapse). (c) We had our “200 Years Together” and learned that the [—-Content redacted for FB—–] . After our collapse and their abuse of our people, we make sure that they are always under our control, and useful but not powerful. You have not learned from our lesson. And this is why you lack harmony, and why you will collapse. (d) We cannot allow our only warm water port to fall into NATO hands. Therefore we are going to take control of it. We cannot allow the Don Basin military manufacturing to fall into Nato Hands. Therefore we are going to go take it and bring it home. (e) Our ambition is to restore Orthodox Civilization and we cannot do so without clear passage through ukraine. We made the mistake of ruining and impoverishing ukraine so that it would fall into our dependence again. Unfortunately we did not eliminate the oligarchs, and we did not work to make the Ukrainian people trust us. This is because we did not think we had the money to do so. This mistake has been very costly for us. It will take a century to repair our panic over the spread of Maidan to Russia. (f) When We Russians asked to join NATO so that we could achieve the goal of uniting Christendom again, we did not understand that this process must be done by ‘selling the american people’ not ‘agreements between diplomats’. We did not learn from the Jews. And it is against our nature to ‘teach as if beggars’. Because of this we lost the great opportunity to unite all of europe and eliminate the need for american military power. Etc., Etc., Etc., —“Я люблю русских.

  • The only reason Facebook exists

    October 7th, 2018 1:38 PM FACEBOOK: A REVERSIBLE ERROR

    The only reason Facebook exists, is because the government wouldn’t regulate spam, such that we could validate one another’s email addresses, and find, cooperate, and block others. Really. That’s the Reason. That’s the reason for the failure of the Email platforms to maintain a distributed rather than centralized data store. This “Error” Is legislatively correctable, and Trivially so.

  • Nietzsche vs Doolittle

    NIETZSCHE VS DOOLITTLE : Critique vs Science. Value vs Truth. Inspiration vs Institutions. [I] need to address this issue again for the little boys in the audience. What I take from Nietzsche is his attack on supernaturalism, and submission, and his attempt to restore classicism – which is also what I am also trying to do: discover our origins (I have), and solve the institutional problem (i think I have) of restoring them. Nietzsche created a Critique of semitic religion, and tried to articulate and express the ethic of the classical tradition (heroism, the dominance of man over nature) but was unable to solve the problem of how – just as many post-darwinist were. Unfortunately the abrahamists have nearly won again with marxism, feminism, and postmodernism. And they have won by continuing his technique: abrahamic critique. —“Nietzsche’s thought after Hegel was to incorporate Evolution and to reverse everything possible in prior thinkers. So he reverses Hegel by searching for a way for the Noble to have self-consciousness. He reverses Schopenhauer by attempting to be positive about life and its prospects. He reverses Wagner by rejecting the Christianization of the Pagan mythologies. Of course he then reverses many long held beliefs that were unquestioned within the western worldview such as the necessity to kow tow to Christianity as a religious belief system. … So basically Nietzsche went after as many Sacred Cows of the European tradition as he could”— Kent Palmer I systematically attack all our sacred cows and falsehoods – just as he did. Not for VALUE but for TRUTH. I look for everything FALSE not everything we VALUE. However, I attempt to restore classicism through formal INSTITUTIONS rather than the usual german sophomoric philosophy that is little other than a desperate attempt to restore the ‘woo’ of christian submission by rational sophistry rather than supernatural sophistry. As for ‘spirit’ I see nietzsche’s ‘spirit’ as a choice, and an individual choice, not a truth,or a political movement, or an institutional solution – and I see nietzsche as having failed to discover a solution. And worse, I find his silly german ‘suffering'(struggling) abhorrent – the voice of the weak. The strong do not struggle they just do. Nietzsche was prescient precisely because he FAILED. As did all german thinkers – desperate provincial romanticists appealing to the heartstrings of the pubescent. I see nietzsche as ‘weak’. A polemicist. Like say, Rand, he is a gateway that gives you permission to abandon traditional religion, just as rand is a gateway to abandon traditional political ethics. But they are … childish … works by childish people. Which is fine, because we all work at some level of sophistication available to us at our own stage of maturity. Nietzsche’s rant against his status who is nothing more than what all adolescent men do: express their identities and autonomy as unbound by parental debts, when they reach some level of agency. But in the end, he just was an insightful polemicists that failed to provide a solution other than infinite skepticism and a return to a celebration of life. A pair of sentiments otherwise politically inactionable. Nietzsche practiced critique: he remained an abrahamist. He offered us nothing to supplant the past. And understood the classical civilization only in silly germanic romantic and literary terms – rather than the tedious administration of half domesticated man by the use of military, law, bureaucracy, commerce, and education. Rome was the adult that athens matured into. We are only now, right now, restoring the state of development at which rome fell.
