  • Q&A: Curt, Why Is There White Trash?

    [W]HY IS THERE WHITE TRASH?

    —Curt: Can you explain the whole white trash phenomenon? How can a country so wealthy and full of opportunities have white trash? I anticipate that your answer is likely to be “it’s all IQ” or something along these lines, but aren’t there opportunities for dumb people as well?—-

    “All happy families are the same. All unhappy families are different”
    “All domesticate-able animals are the same. All un-domesticate-able animals are different”
    “All ‘good’ people are the same, all ‘bad’ people are different”

    IQ is correlative, but insufficient explanation for cause. But personality is sufficient.

    If we take all these variables:

    Visualization challenged vs Visualization/spatial intelligence
    Communication challenged vs Verbal intelligence
    autistic vs solipsistic
    introversion vs extroversion

    constancy vs novelty
    disciplined vs undisciplined
    secure/calm vs nervous/sensitive

    compassionate/cooperative vs suspicious/antagonistic
    Impulsivity vs non-impulsivity
    submissive vs aggressive

    With just these variables, we humans have the ability to construct cooperative, disciplined and satisfied minds, or aggressive, undisciplined and unsatisfied minds.

    The reason people in the bottom classes are generally difficult to employ MIGHT be intelligence, but all research I have read of late (when we see pseudoscience slowly receding in social science) is pretty consistent in stating that the unemployable people are just ‘bad personalities’. Much of the time it is that they constantly get negative feedback for their behaviors, and this effectively drives all of us into frustration.

    White trash is a minority in western civilization but in many cultures it’s the majority. Our culture systematically eliminated these people over many centuries. So they are smaller in number, but now rapidly breeding.

    It’s not all IQ. It is just that IQ and ‘good’ behaviors very often increase accordingly. Or that IQ allows us to COMPENSATE for our bad behaviors while lack of it forces us to give into those bad behaviors.

    INFORMATION
    I use the information model to study human behavior. And so I focus on the fact that all of these behaviors are constructed by the ability to organize and process information that gives us hormonal (chemical) rewards. Broken people have less ability to gain psychic rewards. Healthy people have more opportunity to gain psychic rewards.

    Each of us has a frustration budget.
    People at the bottom burn through that budget pretty frequently.
    you can have a dumb person with all good traits, and a smart person with all bad traits. It just isn’t that common.

  • Attack on Profit Seeking using Virtue Signalling by an Ex Prostitute

     [A]TTACK ON PROFIT SEEKING USING VIRTUE SIGNALING BY AN EX PROSTITUTE
    (choice quotes for your rhetorical armory)

    a) Author’s article is nothing but an act of personal promotion for drumming up business by yet another western example of pretentious virtue signaling. It is another kind of whoring. But in the end whoring none the less. The selling of false-virtue lies, rather than false-sex lies.

    b) People sell all forms of entertainment that are contrary to life’s evidence.
    People pay for all forms of entertainment that is contrary to life’s evidence. Sex is just one more of them. alcohol, drugs, movies, literature, media narratives, and pretentious virtue signaling are but a few examples of them.

    c) People buy, sell, and tell themselves and each other pleasant lies to make their tedious boring unexceptional lives tolerable. And we are happy to buy and sell this bits of nonsense.

    e) Voluntarily exchanged payments for such entertainment are much better than the alternative: sexy obtained by violence, entertainment by subjugation, and sustenance by enslavement and parasitism. Alcohol, storytelling and prostitution in all the various forms of paying women for sex one way or another are as old as human existence.

    f) The waitress who smiles at your imbecilic wit, the shopkeeper who treats you with undeserved respect, the marketer who promises you feelings beyond your natural means, the politician who panders to your failure to mature into a productive adult. None of these differ from the prostitute who tells you that you’re attractive and she’s pleased by your company.

    Liars all. Virtue Signaling included: our most fashionable current form of lying. These various fictions are a creature comfort we use to make the daily evidence of our personal irrelevance tolerable. Do not begrudge people fictions purchased in trade. They are far better than truths obtained by violence and conquest – which was the norm throughout our history.

  • The Next Grand Narrative of Man May Be The Long Sought Social Science

    [T]he Next Grand Narrative?

    1) The evolution of all disciplines has been away from myth to reason to calculation: a set of operations. (Webber). 

    2) I think that the output narrative produced by this age will look far more like social science than philosophy.

    3) I think that just as previous revolutions in the the sciences have produced useful but less fulfilling visions of the universe, that this revolution in human understanding will be the long sought after social science, and that it will be equally useful but unsatisfying.

    4) I think the only reason postmodernism succeeded – like pseudosciences that birthed it: Boaz(anthropology), Freud(psychology), Marx(economics and sociology), Cantor(mathematics), Keynes (mathematical economics), and the Frankfurt School (Use of Falsehood and Strawman) – was that the thinkers of the early 20th century failed to solve the problem of calculations (Operations) in social science: Brouwer (math), Bridgman(Physics), Mises (economics), Hayek(Law), Popper (philosophy). In each field, someone understood at least vaguely that the solution was in a single direction, but they could not produce a science – social science – from it.

    5) I think there are two reasons that they failed: a) the competition from pseudosciences was preferred by all, particularly, the academy that sought to replace the moral authority of the churches. b) the authors themselves were not able to make the same disassociation from the framing of moral intuition that was Einstein in in s framing of gravity. In fact, there is a moral sensibility to every thinker’s arguments. So the cause of their arguments (a sense of immorality to the pseudosciences) was too influenced by moral intuitions of their own cultures.

    6) I am fairly sure I know the basic structure of this science, and I am fairly sure that it is useful, true, and as usual: unsatisfying.

  • We Must Rule

    [T]o decide requires decidability. We decide because we know how to.
    To rule is to decide. We rule, because we know how to rule.

    To lead and to rule are very different things.
    Many can lead because the problems and opportunities vary.
    Few can rule because decidability is does not vary.
    Some Lead by preference, we Rule by truth.
    We must rule.
    Because we can.

  • Sticky: No Racism Please. Aristocracy, Liberty, Prosperity are Universals

    Please don’t bring that stuff here. I work against fraud and deception in all matters political. And yes, truths are truths, but criticisms are not solutions, they’re excuses for not looking in the mirror at the person responsible for the current state of things. Act. Solve Problems. Don’t complain.

  • The Costs of The Seen vs The Unseen

    [T]HE COST OF THE SEEN VS THE UNSEEN (what is the cost of lying) What is the cost of requiring due diligence of truthfulness in speech in the commons? That is a silly question. What is the cost of not requiring due diligence of truthfulness in speech in the commons?

    What is the cost of libel, slander, rallying, shaming, loading, overloading, suggestion? What is the cost of islam, judaism, christianity, marxism, feminism, postmodernism? What is the cost of lies? The cost is the difference between the world where people speak the truth and the world where people lie and vector lies.
