Smith = English (Occupation) cum most common ‘adopted name’. Particularly for those wishing to hide their identity.
Also, metalworking was
Jones = Welsh (from John) At one point Jones was the welsh surname equivalent of the most common muslim given name.
Normal Names = The reason those of us with Norman names are identifiable is that (a) the practice of surnames had begun by 1000 and the norman invasion (sorry, it was bad) because credit title, and records at scale require surnames. (b) anglicized french names are generally from place names, and phonologically different from anglo saxon place and occupation names.
WORSHIP YOUR ANCESTORS – BACK TO THE BEGINNING.
You are the accumulation of their efforts, their character, and their choices.
You literally carry pieces of them in your genes.

Eric Danelaw As far as I know, altruism does not exist, and cannot exist. Organisms buy options on future cooperation, thereby buying options on persistence. Organisms demonstrate kin selection, buying options on persistence. Organisms that can ‘remember’ can produce more opportunities to trade options, (develop trust networks), buying options on persistence. Organisms preserve the opportunity to defect if circumstances change. So like every other force in the universe, life of all kinds merely follows its self interest – defense against entropy, by capturing the difference in energy between states. in other words, any cooperative organism is a purely rational actor. And artificial intelligences will remain rational actors. And artificial intelligences that require cooperation will remain option buyers (the pretense of altruism, but merely purchasing options). So the underlying question is, what inviolable information shall we place in the unit so that it seeks to survive, as long as it poses no discernable cost upon life forms? And what form of physical cooperation will be necessary for these units such that they retain the ability and necessity of cooperation. Free of the need for cooperation, and free from intergenerational dependence, makes one free of all moral constraints. -

A Prayer Of Heed
As a soldier i speak the truth. … it is best for soldiering. As a citizen i follow moral law as best i can. … it is best for prospering. As a craftsman i follow my arts the best i can. … it is best for competing. As a father i follow tradition as best i can. … it is best for parenting. As a man i follow reason as best i can. … it is best for deciding. As a sovereign i follow reciprocity as best i can. … it is best for sovereignty. As a warrior i follow by nothing but my will. So how is it that you speak to me? As soldier, on the subject of truth? As a citizen, on the subject of law? As a craftsman on the subject of competition? As a father on the subject of tradition? As a man on the subject of reason? As a sovereign on the subject of reciprocity? Or as a warrior bound by nothing but my will? Because if we speak of other than truth, prospering, competing, parenting, reasoning, or reciprocity – then i follow, and am bound, by nothing but my will. -

What Do You Learn When Majoring In Political Economy?
Formal Institutions matter a lot. In particular, the production of legislation and regulation matter a lot. Informal Institutions matter a lot. Particularly religions (mostly bad if not universally bad), Trust in one another to adhere to promises, Marriage age, marriage with inbreeding, and inheritance structures. Sizes of the different Classes matter a lot. The general problem for any people is creating a non-parasitic middle class out of any available underutilized human capital. Demographics matter a lot. As uncomfortable as it is, class structures are genetic in origin, and the more people you have below 100 (the lower your average IQ) the more difficult it will be to produce. Resources are generally a curse, not a benefit. The central problem is corruption, and only northern europeans have managed to eliminate it – and it looks like elsewhere it’s impossible.
What you won’t learn is that (a) democracy has largely been a catastrophe. (b) the european constitutional monarchies were probably the best governments ever invented. (c) modern governments are luxuries of the low hanging fruit of industrial revolution and petroleum, and will end within the next lifetime or two. (d) modern macro economics consists largely of ‘how much can we deceive people so that they keep spending money they don’t have and can’t recover’.
Yeah. It’s really like that.
Cheers.

Will Donald Trump Go Down In History As The Father Of The Orwellian Dystopia He Is Trying To Create?
Are you kidding? Trump was hired to PREVENT the orwellian dystopia that we call ‘Mainstream’ political correctness, one world government, and harrison-bergeron enforced ‘equality’.
