  • What Kind Of Advice Would You Give To A 24 Year-old Male?

    1) When you are young you can do something that people who are older cant: work incessantly on very little income. The truth is though, that older startup guys do better at it. We just are more interested in young guys. but they have to give away a lot of the company because they can’t work like you can. So use it.

    2) Ideas are not scarce. Customers are scarce. whenever I start a business I know who I will sell the product or service to, and who I will sell the company to. I am usually wrong about the specifics but the general idea works out.

    3) Create something that a bigger company wants to buy from you, by collecting customers that they cant reach.

    4) Get into a house with other guys who do the same work, and save some money.

    5) Work at a larger company for one year so you understand the value of process. Then move to a startup so that you understand how to actually get something done – most people in large companies don’t actually do anything of much value. Everyone in a small company does.

    6) Never expand early. It is an excuse to focus on internal organizational development rather than customers, service and product. Humans possess this cognitive bias. And it is a startup killer.

    7) There isn’t anyone enough smarter than you to create a marginal difference. Don’t expect there to be. And they won’t come work for you anyway. That means you have to solve a lot of problems on your own. That desperate need to understand is what makes one an entrepreneur.

    8) take the first two basic accounting classes if you haven’t. That’s all you’ll ever need to know. but you need to know it.

    9) Your job is to sell. Sell ideas. Sell products. Sell Services. If you are doing something someone else can because it gives you a sense of accomplishment then you’re wasting your time. Nothing that produces significant returns has a short production cycle, and sales are frustrating. So spend your time on the long term, hard stuff, and get the admin folks to do the rituals.

    10) Good salespeople won’t work for you. But you can buy good marketing. The number of companies that think 300K of ad budget is out of the question yet blow twice that on non-performing people never ceases to amaze me.

    I tried for 10. Hopefully there is a gem in there somewhere.

  • Why Has There Been So Much Debate Recently About Race And Iq?

    Because only Europeans and East Asians have reduced the size of their underclasses sufficiently to produce advanced civilizations – and even so, the east asians still fell prey to bureaucracy and stagnation in the absence of rule of law(empiricism), markets(empiricism), and science(empiricism) in addition to the chinese predilection for political lying (deny and delay), predilection for lying in order to preserve face, and the endemic familial corruption they still practice, and catastrophic legal system.

    The rest of the planet has not reduced the size of their underclasses.

    The size of your underclass determines group hostile to your race, subrace, cult(religion), tribe, and clan.

    The reason being that behavioral norms are determined by the median of the population.

    We rarely see criticism of the immigration of cognitive elites – all of whom practice some form of aristotelianism(empiricism), and out of necessity, adhere to rule of tort law. (although there are exceptions).

    So westerners have spent thousands of years ridding ourselves of underclass, and downward pressure from the middle classes, the young and the old to fill underclass roles, yet most ‘immigrants’ are from the underclasses, and violate our middle class norms, traditions, values – and worse, they vote for the democrats AGAINST our middle class norms, traditions, and values.

    The left has achieved through underclass immigration and the destruction of the family what it could not achieve through their ideas.

    —“Last summer, scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem found that male sperm counts had fallen by almost 60 per cent in 40 years. In what was the largest study of its kind, they analysed data from 43,000 men from North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, taking in 185 studies from 1973 to 2011. Its lead author, Dr Hagai Levine, decreed the result an ‘urgent wake-up call’.”—

  • Conservatives Are More Attractive Than Liberals

    (we’ve known this forever, but yet another study) Effects of physical attractiveness on political beliefs Rolfe Daus Peterson (a1) and Carl L. Palmer (a2) Access Volume 36, Issue 2 Fall 2017 , pp. 3-16 https://doi.org/10.1017/pls.2017.18Published online: 27 December 2017 Abstract Physical attractiveness is an important social factor in our daily interactions. Scholars in social psychology provide evidence that attractiveness stereotypes and the “halo effect” are prominent in affecting the traits we attribute to others. However, the interest in attractiveness has not directly filtered down to questions of political behavior beyond candidates and elites. Utilizing measures of attractiveness across multiple surveys, we examine the relationship between attractiveness and political beliefs. Controlling for socioeconomic status, we find that more attractive individuals are more likely to report higher levels of political efficacy, identify as conservative, and identify as Republican. These findings suggest an additional mechanism for political socialization that has further implications for understanding how the body intertwines with the social nature of politics.
