  • Grid: Three Group Evolutionary Strategies

    Feminine: Aggressive Gossip: (jewish) Libertarian: Aggressive Trade (anglo neo-puritan) Masculine: Aggressive Violence (muslim)

    Russian = ++Gossip +Violence -Trade Chinese = +Gossip +Violence -Trade I suppose that we can graph all cultures on these three dimensions.

  • Sorry, But I Love My Betters

    [S]orry, but I am perfectly thrilled to have betters. Here in London I see lots of them. And I am thankful for them. I like what I do. I am glad they do what they do. I can see the Dutch and German in them. They’re bigger, taller, and better looking than my little Celtic self. Why anyone doesn’t want betters is beyond me. What scares me is proles. Especially in the white house.

  • Duelling?

    —“What’s the relationship between truth-telling and dueling? Is it because you should only say something you believe to the extent that you’re willing to fight for it?”— Great question. It’s actually two different issues. You impose a cost on someone else’s reputation at the peril of your life. Especially after guns were invented. They are a great equaliser. If you speak truthfully and it imposes a restitution then that is a moral obligation to your fellow citizens. If you speak the truth in general then that is a cost to you but it is the cost of entry into the informational commons just as respect for property is a cost you must bear for entry into the market. The purpose of judicial combat was to create time to cool off and apologize, and negotiate a settlement rather than put noble families in feud. The duel degenerated into sanctioned murder. The problem is preventing duel by construction (murder). That requires a third party to judge the restitution for the insult.

  • The Steppe Manufactures Aggression?

    SO IS THIS RIGHT?

    • Africa generated variation because it is actually quite a hostile climate.
      the first waves out were not aggressive people.
    • Each new wave has been more aggressive than the last, and exterminated, raped, mated with, or ate the previous generation.
    • At some point the steppe and desert started breeding aggression because of herding.
    • The steppe took over from Africa as the primary means of evolving increased aggression.
    • This process has continued with the Indian civilization first to be exterminated, then the Iranian and byzantine. Then the many attacks on Europe. The conquest and conversion of Russia to an aggressive steppe culture.
    • Islam is an adaptation of religion for steppe and desert cultures.
    • Islam is the most aggressive religion-political system yet.
    • Only the Chinese are wiling to resist it.
    Is this right?

  • How Far Are You Willing To Go?

    [H]OW FAR ARE YOU WILLING TO GO? To protect your family? To protect your tribe? To protect your civilization? To protect mankind?

    What are you willing to do? Talk is cheap. Gossip is ineffective. The only solution is to raise the cost of the status quo until it is intolerable.

  • Grid of Cultural Tactics

    1) TRUTH AND DECEIT,
    2) MASCULINE AND FEMININE,
    3) HOMOGENOUS AND HETEROGENEOUS.

    ———————TRUTH——————————
    MASCULINE————————-FEMININE
    —————————————————————-
    TEXAS………..GERMAN…………BRITISH 
    …………………..JAPAN…………….FRENCH
    ……………………………………………LATIN
    AMERICAN………………………….HINDU
    …………………..CHINA…………………………..
    ISLAM……….. RUSSIA……………JUDAISM
    —————————————————————
    ——————DECEPTION—————

    Note that the american/hindu line represents “idealism” more so than deception.
    Latins and french are pragmatic.  Anglos and Germans ‘truthful’.

    More later. Just capturing the idea while I’m thinking of it.
