How We Ended up Here: Mindfulness as Algorithmic Computation

COMPARATIVE CIVILIZATIONS AND HOW WE ENDED UP HERE: MINDFULNESS AS ALGORITHMIC COMPUTATION (context: human groups and computation) You don’t learn about religion – particularly your own – by studying it. You learn by studying all religions past and present, and the consequences of their practice. Likewise, you don’t learn about economic, law, or state without comparative study. And most of all you don’t learn about civilizational differences without studying civilizational strategies....

I don’t hate people…

I don’t hate people. Hate like anger makes you dim. It makes you care about trivialities. You hate people because you think they have agency – and are in control of themselves. But very few of us have agency, and everyone else is running archaic software that needs an upgrade. From my position of agency, the world is full of children running with scissors. And only men of agency, who create institutions to limit the harm people do to one another are capable of teaching them deliberately in education, normatively by saturation, and legally by the threat of punishment....

Interesting note on psychopathy:

Interesting note on psychopathy: the scope and definition of the term has narrowed over time. The term used generally in the past today would be anti-social behavior, with psychopathy as an extreme. But again, AFAIK these behaviors are all caused by: group differences in neoteny (Pedomorphism) and group differences in sex (body) gender(mind) dimorphism group differences in class size, and reinforcement by ingroup norms. because of the discount and returns on ingroup association In other words, our groups mature at different rates and depths, with greater....

IQ is a personality trait…

IQ is a personality trait, and personality traits the result of brain structure, and brain structure the result of genetics: Ergo Big 5 + IQ = Big 6 + Sex (Amplitude of Sex Differences in Cognition) = Big 7. With Sex < Conscientiousness < IQ dominant in framing ‘higher’ (more valuable) behaviors. CAUSALITY (BRAIN) Female <-> Male Lateral <-> Longitudinal Integrated <-> Isolated CONSEQUENCE (OPERATION) Prey <-> Predator Peception <->Action...

Our Competitive Advantage Is Production of High Trust Commons – No One Else Can Do It

OUR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE IS PRODUCTION OF HIGH TRUST COMMONS – NO ONE ELSE CAN DO IT Sorry, but white competitive superiority is real because we can create commons and no one else can – including the Asians, the Indians, and the Jews. That’s why people want proximity to whites – we create the intangibles that they can’t. We do it with rule of law of natural law. This is what’s escaping the political discourse....

Path Dependence

—“I’ve just realized “path dependence” is a term also applicable to the kind of civilization that evolves based on the order of development of law, state and religion.”—Martin Stépan

Performative (Existential) Truth

Performative Truth rather than the pretense of it, requires consistency of properties (identity) of reference, internal consistency (logical consistency), consistency of operational possibility (sequences in time), consistency of observed consequences (empiricism), rational choice by rational incentives, reciprocity (bi-directional rational choice), coherence (consistency with realism, naturalism, and operationalism), completeness by stated limits, and full accounting within them, are the minimum criteria for due diligence against falsehood by ignorance, error, bias, and deceit, under liability for having performed that due diligence....

Some Notes on Tech

UPDATE ON TECH Spending a week on tech. Why? The market has caught up to Oversing and Runcible. So instead of being a hard sell in advance of the market, it’s an easy sell into a market of present demand. The gig economy has gone global and the economic benefits of decentralization of the white-collar workforce were accelerated by COVID. Tech is pretty much there. And within a few years, using Dart, Flutter, Web assembly, Node, Redis, MySql, and Elastic Search the tech will make it possible to complete the transition....

The Barriers to Right Activism

—“Identify the barriers and lift them. The problem is obvious but why is it like this? We need data on what these barriers are for the right. Is it the fact that they have to much to lose? Comfort? Security? Or cowardness?”—Bjorn Hocke The barriers to right activism are: 1 – Boyhood: No intention to do anything, just find shallow dominance expression from the safety and anonymity of being online (these are undesirables);...

The Comforting False Promise: —”Curt: Why do many people still believe in communism even though it has been proven throughout history that it does not work?”—

THE CORRECT ANSWER – AND A COMPLETE ONE —”Why do many people still believe in communism even though it has been proven throughout history that it does not work?”— Short answer? Why do people believe in judaism, christianity, islam, hinduism, buddhism, new age occultism, rather than practice philosophy, stoicism, and epicureanism all of which are true? The cheap, easy, false promises, that use empathic communities as a means of sedation....
