    —“men make endless informational videos, arguments, and trade false insults and true compliments. Women make selfies, give false compliments, and disapprove, shame, and ridicule anything that implies depreciation of their status, impulses, or emotions.”—

    Eric Danelaw It all begins with a militia. That is what separates the west from the rest. Without concentrated production capital (flood river valleys) that ‘industrialized’ production, it was not possible to concentrate sufficient wealth to form armies. Instead, the wealthy (nobility) supplied their own men, steeds, arms and armor, and the militia fought with them to hold their land, the property, their women, and the civilization from conquest. The byproduct of the order of the militia is a shareholder arrangement between peers – and the one law of reciprocity. –Curt Doolittle

  • The Grammys Crash.

    You can’t have a ‘festival’ when there is no ‘us’. The left destroyed the civilization. And they wonder why we aren’t celebrating.

  • Watching Other Cultures Learn Software

    It was interesting to watch the Russian programmers ‘come online’. The russian mind is particularly suited to programming because it is an individual pursuit, just like the german mind is particularly suited to engineering because it is a collective pursuit. Watching the chinese come online as their native mind is transformed by the process has been interesting. Perhaps most interesting. Their language is a bit of a prison but once given a formal language like math or programming they slowly overcome the hurdle. Japanese programmers are still… well, it’s a good thing they copy americans. The east asian ‘aesthetic’ is extremely childish by anglo-german-french-spanish-italian… I guess all european standards. But the quality of the code is incrementally improving. Not like the russian, which out of the gate, was awesome. But a bit at a time they are getting there. Aristotelianism contains the least delta between mental model and reality. Operationalism, meaning, a formal grammar of aristotelianism simply narrows our chances of error.

  • Revolt And Separate

    When you have nothing to sell the unwashed masses, and they have nothing to sell you, the only solution is to revolt and separate. Cooperation requires exchange. When exchange is impossible then cohabitation in a polity is impossible. Because a polity is nothing more than a market for exchange of wants.

  • Nassim Taleb On Actors

    (Nassim Nicholas Taleb) To understand why what happens in Hollywood is irrelevant to the rest of humans: a) How many ACTORs do you have among your friends? b) How many ACTOR friends do your friends have? Actors rarely mix with real people. 2) Romans banned actors from marrying, even mixing with citizens. Same dynamics in modern times, but self-inflicted: engineers can mix w/gynecologists… actors stay with actors. Look at the funerals of “gens du spectacle”. 3) I do not know many industries where people are hired either a) on looks, or b) ability to impersonate what one is not. 4) Actors should not be the ones lektchuring the rest of us on ethics & morality. They also have a tendency to conflate virtue and its external manifestation, given that everything in their world is appearance. 5) And for the slow thinkers on the thread, you don’t see gynecologists or train engineers lektchuring the rest of the world on virtue. Actors do. Gabish? 6) Remember: actors are trained to not seem stupid. 7) Now a harder questchon: what is the proportion of actors who voted for Hilary Monsanto-Malmaison? 8) OK, let me be blunt. How many professions do you know, other than the ones where physical attributes are essential, where the modus “sleep your way up” prevails?
