but then it is status that drives affinity for leftism: the frustration with low social, sexual, economic, and political market value under market meritocracy.
the reason marx was wrong was that the principal beneficiaries of consumer capitalism were consumers (labor). capitalism has been the great leveller of consumption. the only difference between the classes is the purchase of signal goods (really).
Marx stopped writing after reading menger and realizing he was wrong. but he kept up pretenses of working to maintain financial support by Engels – marx was a perfect marxist: a parasite.
It has always and always will be and it was menger, pareto, durkheim, and hayek that explained why – and why it cannot be otherwise: knowledge, incentives, and the use of incentives to organize experimentation, production, distribution, and trade. value is created by organizing

Peterson’s Ideas In The Context Of Intellectual History
1 – I go slumming on all sides of the debate, and fans of correspondence with any of the three dimensions of the coercive compass are equally convinced their intuitions are supported by experience, reason, and science. 2 – The fact that the current reaction to the status quo is not yet part of the normative canon merely repeats every other cyclic reaction to the status quo. Your confidence in a paradigm was produced by the same means in prior generations. You just arent a student of the cycle. 3 – Peterson like Nietzsche is recreating the foundations of western civilization by restoring Stoicism in both analogical and disciplinary forms and explaining its correlation with cognitive science. I do the same in logic, science, economics, law and politics. Taleb in finance. 4 – The size of the market for Critical Essay exposition (Taleb), Literary exposition (Peterson), Historical exposition(Hicks), and Technical Exposition (me) declines along with the population with the ability and knowledge to understand the material, is and inverse to its precision. 5 – The effects of economics, cognitive science, and genetics since 1992 have been reversing the Marxist Socialist postmodernist feminist counter enlightenment by Boaz,Marx, Freud,Frankfurt and Derrida/Rorty against Maxwell, Darwin, Menger, Pareto, Durkheim,Spencer and Nietzsche. 6-The pseudosciences had wider appeal because they promised an end to and reversal of social, sexual, economic, political, and military market value while retaining the proceeds of western success at the most thorough construction of markets in all aspects of life. 7 – But this was a false promise in the future, just as abrahamic religions made false promise of life after death (of more than the memory of ones actions by survivors). The science is in, genetics, cog sci, econ, law, politics, war: The second attempt at a dark age has failed. 8 – And that is a problem for the left. All the evidence supports the right. Which is why the left status quo is under threat of extinction, and we are living in a cold civil war very nearly turning hot. – Cheers -

Why Are Medical School Acceptance Rates Significantly Higher For African Americans And Latinos Than For Whites And Asians With The Same Gpa/mcat Scores?
Anti-white (Male) bias, and the dominance of academic postmodern virtue signaling. Really, that’s the only reason.

Why Do You Think The West Should “rediscover” Russia?
Russians (and Putin) were restoring their influence and status in the world. Prior to 2013, Putin was the most respected politician in the world, an idol of the american right, and on the cover of magazines as a hero.
The problem was, that when the Ukrainian Maidan Revolution occurred, and protests spread to St Petersburg and Moscow, clamping down at home was warranted – Russia doesn’t need another period of chaos.
However, instead of calling world leaders and saying:
“This puts our only warm water port, and our military production facilities in the Donbas out of our domain of control, and is strategically intolerable, so we are going to restore Crimea to Russian sovereignty, and pull our industrial assets out of the Don Basin, and compensate Ukraine with a 20% discount on gas for the next 50 years, and we hope you and the international community will understand our actions as undesirable but necessary in order to maintain the postwar balance of powers”.
What did we get instead? Putin blinked. Made up stories about little green men, flooded social media with propaganda, caused a civil war that killed thousands and displaced hundreds of thousands, and returned Russia to the status of international pariah. When everyone complained, he threatened everyone including even Sweden with military action.
In return the west imposed moderate sanctions to demonstrate that Russia is a paper tiger, because 50% of the economy is dependent upon export of fungible petroleum assets and that the government would go bankrupt, and the people starve.
The only reason they didn’t cut Russia out of the international banking and clearance system was that the immediate financial and economic collapse would have hurt ordinary russians rather than the political elite.
I have been on-message since the very beginning (I was living in Kiev at the time, and still list Kiev as my residence). That message is simple: russians are almost always right. So why lie? It is russian low trust and preservation of asiatic attitudes toward deception that cause these problems.
As far as I know, the great problem of the world is the ending of immigration into the west, and then combining german technology and institutions, with russian labor and resources. It is that and only that combination in the future that can hold chinese world conquest at bay.
America is dead via immigration that could not be achieved by leftist insurgency, the vote, or propaganda. We will have a civil war in the united states by 2025.
The world needs a strong russia. But what makes russians incompatible with estern civilization ins one thing:
“If a person tells a lie, who is at fault, the person who lies or the person who believes the lie?”
In the west, universally, we say the liar. Far too many russians say the person who believes the lie.
This is what separates high trust western ethics from low trust russian ethics.
So the message to Russian State, Russian People, and Putin is: When you’re right, and in the right, don’t lie.

If An Iq Test Was Embedded Within A Popular And Highly-addictive Video Game, Would The Players Develop The Ability To Score Extremely Well On Iq Tests?
No. All tests are renormalized regularly to compensate for adaptive effects and therefore to preserve the distribution. It is a very precise science.
