    WHAT YOU DO WITH “SMART” MATTERS – A LOT

    You can invest your neuronal development in increasing the explanatory power of very narrow concepts, or invest your neuronal development in increasing the explanatory power of very broad concepts.

    There are THREE reasons why we produce many very smart people in narrow niches, and very few very smart people in broad concepts.

    1) First, the return on narrow specializations is cheaper and quicker, and the return on broad specializations is very expensive and takes much, much, longer – if any returns exist at all. It’s very difficult to produce a Toynbee or a Durant.

    2) Second, our education and our economies are organized to produce craftsmen for the industrial era – specialists, made possible and necessary by the entry of proles into the labor force, made possible by the harnessing of hydrocarbons.

    3) Third, our education system no longer produces aristocratic learning for aristocrats who must govern. Even our aristocratic universities (religious schools) teach the religion of the proles (equality, democracy, pseudoscience, and deception). Instead of teaching politics, ethics, morality, finance and law, so that we may rationally organize our production and rationally adjudicate our differences, with the least risk, loss, and friction in both production and adjudication.

    So I am daily saddened by the tragedy of the many very smart people I meet who fail to produce their potential, and the many proles who fail by attempting to exceed their capabilities and capacities – due to the false promises of their priesthood.

    The only choice one has is independent study: to read. By reading ‘know thyself’. By knowing thyself (relative to the abilities of others) to find a niche to profit from, and to gain wisdom to understand the broader arena of human affairs.

    It is very easy to choose between that which is good to read, and that which is not: read the works of aristocracy. They are scientific in that they were empirical. They are the only equals man has made.

    BECAUSE YOUR PRIESTHOOD: YOU ACADEMICS, PUBLIC INTELLECTUALS AND TEACHERS FAILED YOU – and they failed you in pursuit of selfish money and power.

    Not into the creepy things at all. Not really even too much into the young women thing despite appearances.

    But I find it warms my kin-selection heart to see all these young Ukrainian girls dressed as ladies and acting like it.

    The Conservative sentiment favors the excellence of the tribe. I will gladly sacrifice for the good of my kin.

    And I resist sacrifice for non-kin.

    Cooperation is mutually beneficial. But sacrifice is not. And dysgenia is the the last thing one should be costs to construct.

    That statement of preference is my contribution to the division of perception cognition knowledge and labor.

    http://aeon.co/magazine/philosophy/people-do-violence-because-their-moral-codes-demand-it/VIOLENCE REQUIRES MORAL INCENTIVE : VIOLENCE IS MORAL PERSUASION

    —“Across practices, across cultures, and throughout historical periods, when people support and engage in violence, their primary motivations are moral. By β€˜moral’, I mean that people are violent because they feel they must be; because they feel that their violence is obligatory. They know that they are harming fully human beings. Nonetheless, they believe they should. Violence does not stem from a psychopathic lack of morality. Quite the reverse: it comes from the exercise of perceived moral rights and obligations.”—

    Todd Colby used to find amusement in jerking my autistic chain. He called it “putting a quarter in”. After a bit he would start laughing. I am so Damned gullible that I fall for it every time.

    Got hooked hard by Michael Philip today. Damn. Got hooked a while back by the incremental suppression thing.

    Knowing you are an aspie is really quite liberating. It sucked as a kid not to get it.

    I still don’t get a lot of humor other than irony even though I work at it. But I have learned to enjoy a lot of it.

    Humans are awesome. πŸ™‚

    Aspieness is awesome really once you learn to laugh at yourself. πŸ™‚

    LENDING AND REPOSESSING YOUR WEALTH OF VIOLENCE

    I love violence. I am a super-predatory. I have a wealth of violence. I am a man. I was born with my wealth of violence. I lend that violence to the state to use on my behalf collective gain. However, should the state no longer work in my interests, or should any man break my contract for cooperation, I reserve my right to withdraw my deposit of violence and use it to both restore cooperation and to restore the state to the pursuit of my interests.

    LEARNING FROM FAILURE

    I emailed Jonathan Haidt a question this morning, and think I just answered it myself: it’s not so much that he can change our political system, or even hopes to (although I assume he does) but that the dysfunctionality of the political system provides good data for his research into moral foundations. Sort of how I use libertarians and socialists: the fact that they’re so wrong about everything allows us to determine what is right. Or how neurologists study the brain by studying those with defective brains. It’s very hard to learn much from normalcy. (as Nassim Taleb is trying to tell us). It’s only useful to learn from error. As Popper has been trying to tell us. We don’t tell the truth, but instead, give warranty that we do not speak falsely. And that is what I am trying to say.
