DEFINITION: “INTELLECTUAL” (Idea Worker, Seller of Ideas)
—“Curt, define the term ‘intellectual’ pls.”— Francesco Principi
“Idea-workers that exercise influence on policy makers and public opinion, but are not directly accountable for the results.”
“Those whose careers are built on the creation and dissemination of ideas have played a role in many societies out of all proportion to their numbers. Whether that role has, on balance, made those around them better off or worse off is one of the key questions of our times.”
Empirically speaking it is very hard to argue that intellectuals in the 20th c have produced more harm than good.
See Thomas Sowell’s “Intellectuals and Society”.

The Left, Psychoticism, Agency, And Infantilization
1) Leftists beliefs are linked to Psychoticism. 2) Leftists reversed the data and published the oft-cited falsehood that linked it with conservatism. 3) It’s taken five years to correct it, even though the error was obvious. https://www.econjobrumors.com/topic/funniest-retraction-ive-ever-seen-1 Now, given that leftism (lower agency, greater consensus, higher signaling) is an expression of the female brain structure, and that women dominate the Psychotic spectrum, this should have been an obvious conclusion (it was to me). But the same phenomenon that creates female critical psychologism, creates psychosis, and creates liberal tendencies. The crazy-chick phenomenon is real, and the much higher mental illness among women is real, just as male criminality is real, and male dominance of autism is real by 4 to 1. The fact that conservatives fail to grasp that fundamentally we are talking about a difference in agency, and worse, that we are talking about a difference in maturity, is a factor of the false discourse of equality. It is merely a fact that conservatism = adulthood, and liberalism = infantilization. The fact that the infantilized mind requires and desires parenting is not something we should discuss any longer. We must return to rule, to paternalism, to demonstration of agency if we are to preserve western gains, and prevent the devolution of the arab world, the stagnation of the hindu world, and the Brazilification of the modern world, in western civilization. Rule or be ruled. -

Yep. That’s A Car I Would Want To Own.
—“Tesla claims the new Roadster, which will start at $200,000, will do 0 to 60 miles per hour in 1.9 seconds, have a top speed of 250 miles per hour, and will be able to drive up to 620 miles on a single charge. The Tesla Roadster won’t be available until 2020, Tesla says, but reservations start immediately for a cool $50,000 down.”— -

by Igor Rogov Sexuality may undermine productivity and lead to unfair competitive advantage, that may undermine corporate structure. And corporate competition undermines healthy sexual relationship. The problem as I see it is in mixing two ethical systems: one of production of goods and another of sexuality. They are not entirely mutually exclusive, but certainly not fully compatible. It would be good to make proper barriers and keep them apart, but alas.
