  • Is America Becoming More Tribalist/racist?

    ( PREFACE: My position is that all race questions on Quora should be banned. The reason being that false and comforting answers pass editors, and truthful but unpleasant answers do not. Therefore Quora contributes to harmful propaganda by permitting these questions. On the other hand as one of the experts on this subject, people ask me to answer, and I do.)

    Endemic racism hasn’t changed in the USA and never will, bcause it doesn’t cahnge anywhere except when there is absurd wealth that alleviates competition. But racisim is becoming more severe because of the political influence of immigration (invasion) by large numbers of hispanics who do not integrate, and the recent expansion of islam and its lack of self-policing, it’s hostility to modernity, hostility to science, and hostility to integration.

    As long as a minority consists of less than 5% of a population there seems to be little conflict. Above 5% and when minorities congregate in neighborhoods, cities, or regions we see (universally) their attempt to seek political power in order to obtain by political means that which they cannot obtain by market means. There are no conditions under which this is false.

    The USA is worse off than say the UK, France and Germany because we have no ‘culture’ other than commerce and rule of law. And due to activism in the 1960s, we have lost all our ‘norms’. So it is no longer possible to achieve what we could prior to 1963: indoctrination into the protestant work ethic, the absolute nuclear family, some variation of christianity, and a meritocratic social hierarchy.

    So we lack a culture, lack norms, lack normative institutions, and therefore all conflict is ‘free for all’ and forced into politics.

    At present the ‘war’ is between the six immigrant cities, and the rest of the country.

    What I suspect is that this conflict cannot be resolved through any solution other than either civil war, secession, or the devolution of normative law from the federal to the regional governments in line with the “11 Nations” of North America, and relegating the federal government to roles only of insurer of last resort (war, retirement, health, property conflict.)

    What I suspect will continue to occur in the six major immigrant cities is reversion to type: the evolution of a caste system like we see in india and south america. The reason being that the median genetic ability of individuals in each tribal and racial group will produce castes as we have seen elsewhere.

    All political action is a proxy for violence. There is no circumventing of that reality.

    When political action is no longer a sufficient proxy for violence – man universally returns to violence.

    And no civilization has ever been as fragile as ours.

  • Why Is It So Popular To Drink Beverages Using A Straw In Us?

    Like many things american:

    1. Sterility
    2. “Extra Care”
    3. “Signaling”

  • How Would You Restructure The United States?

    The current conflict is occurring because the regions have matured from settled territories into genetically, culturally, economically, separate nations, each of which resists the genetic, cultural, and economic differences of the others. In other words, the federal government is a domestic empire as well as a global empire.

    People don’t like empires. For good reason.

    The solution is:

    1. Universal right of secession and confederation on a county by county basis. Universal right of association and disassociation on an individual basis.
    2. County-by-county choice of political affiliation with bordering counties, to form new regions. The result will look something along the lines of the Nine or Eleven Nations of North America, with the six (large) immigrant cities as island plantations amidst the rest of the territories.
    3. Devolution of the powers of the federal government by limiting them only to Insurer of last Resort: Military, Common Treasury, Disaster Relief, Judge of Material Property conflict.
    4. Reservation of the powers not specifically granted to the insurer of last resort to the regions – specifically property and contract.
    5. Reservation of the powers of individual,interpersonal, family, labor to the county – specifically education, norms, holidays, traditions and information – to the county.

    This will accomplish:

    1. The division of the continental united states into a european -style polity with different cultures and norms, but who are protected by a large and powerful military.
    2. It will end the era of USA imperialism world wide.
    3. And it will create the greatest economic boom and the greatest level of experimentation since the enlightenment.
    4. And we can stop hating each other.

  • Is White Male Privilege Distinct From White Female Privilege?

    This question and all questions regarding ‘privilege’ should be banned from Quora as pseudoscientific hate-baiting.

  • How Close Are We To A Constitutional Crisis? Does The Current Admin Really Care About Our Rights?

    You don’t have any rights intrinsically. You can’t have them. You can aspire to possess them. No other statement is true or possible. We create governments to create legal rights by denying each other choices.

    At present many people possess legal privileges not legal rights. These privileges come at the expense of others rights and privileges.

    The people who do ‘everything’ (the working and middle class) are tired of losing rights in order that other people may have privileges.

    What differentiates a right from a privilege? A Right consists of a prohibition upon the imposition of costs upon that which you have born costs to obtain. A privilege consists of an imposition of costs upon others that you have not born a cost to obtain.

    So you must know the difference between a right and a privilege. What has occurred is that the government has attempted to grant as many privileges as possible in order to maintain social harmony in order to maintain the economy and society despite having dismantled our history, our traditions, our culture, our law, and our families.

    We tolerate governments so long as the pain of the status quo is less than the pain of revolution.

    People have begun to care about their rights, and care less about other’s privileges. This is because the emphasis on immigration and free trade, and globalization has put an undue cost on the ‘moral’ working and middle classes.

    This will end badly.

  • What’s The Difference Between Marriage And Incorporation?

    Legally none. Normatively, it functioned as a prohibition on interference in the reproductive economy we call the family, and a reciprocal warranty of the same.

    It was better the old way by every empirical measure.

  • Has Anyone Described A Simple Iq Capability Table?

    Plenty of people have. This one is readable:

    I.Q. ranges and real-life functioning.

    As a general rule, IQ affects rate and therefore cost of learning, but also affects everything else like longevity, health, accidents, and income.

    And I find it most helpful to speak in those terms. For about every ten points in IQ we dramatically change the ability of people to learn.

    BELOW AVERAGE

    • 60’s are mildly retarded. May still function with supervision. usually socially inept
    • 70’s are borderline retarded. They have problems with basic literacy and instructions, and require supervision.
    • 80’s are problematic. Because the ‘evil 80s’ are where most violence comes from, and the average intelligence of most backward communities is in the 80’s. This is because people in this range are unable to compete but still able to plot and execute simple crimes.

    AVERAGE

    • 90 is the minimum for following written instructions, and operating machines. This is the minimum employability for routine work.
    • 100 to learn from written materials and 105 capable of repairing machines. (Arguably 106 to articulate your own ideas). 106 appears to be the minimum median IQ for the formation of a high trust polity.

    ABOVE AVERAGE

    • 110 to manage one’s learning from instructors (college format). The closer we get in median IQ to 110 the more likely we are to have a golden age.
    • 120 to investigate and learn on one’s own (graduate format) and 125 capable of designing machines. It is probably impossible to achieve a median IQ in this range.
    • 130 capable of synthesizing ideas and communicating them (low level phd in soft subjects). The good to great authors are in this range.

    INTELLIGENT

    • 140+ capable of discovering and inventing new ideas using highly structured reasoning. (PhD in hard subjects)

    RULES OF THUMB

    • One standard deviation is 15 points. We can usually communicate within one standard deviation of one another. By two standard deviations we cannot generally communicate successfully.
    • If we look at loose averages, our social and economic classes roughly reflect this distribution.
    • In my experience, and according to most professionals, 140 is the limit of IQ tests, and over that we must test specific abilities. Some would say that 130 is the limit of meaningful testing. Above those levels we start to see dispersion of traits so that while we might demonstrate exceptional ability in some area or other, we tend not to possess the full suite of abilities in balanced form.

    HEDGING A BIT

    But let me qualify it a bit and say that while the theory of multiple intelligences is nonsense, intelligence is just one property of personality that affects demonstrated behavior.

    The combinations of low impulsivity, high conscientiousness, and high intelligence need to go together. One can be less intelligent, but highly disciplined, conscientious, and work very hard, and someone can be highly intelligent, impulsive, and devoid of conscientiousness.

    A lot of things must ‘go right’ for high intelligence to produce positive outcomes in life. (the good stuff kicks in at 115 and above). A lot of things can ‘go wrong’ and we end up with dim(90’s), dangerous (80’s), and untrainable (70’s and below).

    For example, I read Neal Ferguson and I realize he has a better memory than I do and is more organized. I read Hayek and identify myself almost perfectly in every way – even speech pattern. I read Chomsky and it’s obvious he’s more intelligent than I am. But of those people the most ‘whole’ or ‘balanced’ person is definitely Ferguson.

    There are people I can tell are quite a bit faster than I am especially at mathematical operations, or maintaining sets of states in short term memory. And others who have higher reading comprehension than I do – and greater patience with it. But what I see most often is that people with increasingly high ‘scores’ tend to possess side effects. Not all of them (Norman Schwartzkopf).

    So this is why being smart isn’t enough. And this is why the ‘great families’ control reproduction and marriage so carefully, and only hand down assets to those that demonstrate performance. It’s hard work to make things ‘go right’ for generations.

    Thankfully we tend to marry and reproduce within genetic classes if not within social and economic classes, and this tends to limit the damage done by the lower classes to the gene pool. That was until redistribution which took rates of reproduction from the working, middle, and upper classes and replaced it with reproduction and immigration from the lower classes.

    It matters more for a society to have the smallest possible number of people at the bottom than it does to increase the number of people at the top. Context in everything affects everything else.

    And in real life, it matters more that you have few “bads”, than that you have tremendously outlying “goods”.

    FWIW: the evidence is clear that average people are almost always far happier than smart people. Mostly, we’re frustrated. The world doesn’t exist for us. We’re tools for the majority. And the world exists for them.
