    Jan 22, 2020, 1:42 PM 1) Learn P so that you can suppress the enemy’s lies. 2) Get Fit enough to hike 20 miles carrying a 40lb pack and a ten-pound weight in your arms. 3) Follow any leader who will show the f—k up. 4) Shut the f–k up. Show the f–k up – And show the f—k up without asking questions. Because showing up is 50% of winning. And you aren’t in control, can’t be, and we create control only by showing up.

  • Apply P. Cultivate Agency

    Jan 23, 2020, 2:30 PM by Noah J Revoy Apply the P that you learned in your private life by shutting down people who are manipulating you via GSRRM. If you cant handle your business with your wife/kids/parents/friends/colleagues etc you aren’t going to be standing up to the authority of unjust government and its agents. Cultivate your Agency in little things and you will be ready to exercise your Agency in big things.

  • Vegetarianism

    ‘—“The libertarian case for veganism: Sentience extends to cows, chicken, pigs & even fish. These are beings with a consciousness. They experience pleasure and pain, bond with their young & pursue their own purposes, even if they are simple purposes such as seeking food”— via Quillette

    Let’s avoid conflating sentience, awareness, and the consciousness spectrum – and prevent overreach. These things are our food. Not abusing them and not eating them are two different things. And the reason not to abuse them is that we don’t want such people in our midst. (See attached definitions.) Secondly, pejoratively, the female nervous system evolved to carry a cognitive load that included empathy with offspring. Just as when men aren’t supplied with competition they behave dysfunctionally, when women aren’t supplied with emotional load they find “strange obsessions”. Vegetarianism, like animal activism, political activism, or gossiping and undermining, is among the strange obsessions that women devote their cognitive demand for emotional load to in the absence of more constructive outputs (children). The problem is there is no check on women. There are many checks on men’s antisocial behavior in fulfillment of demand for cognitive load – although sports, and video games are wasteful they aren’t harmful, and business and the arts are constructive. There are no such checks on women’s behavior.’ —“The libertarian case for veganism: Sentience extends to cows, chicken, pigs & even fish. These are beings with a consciousness.

  • Humane Beef

    Jan 28, 2020, 12:09 PM I will keep a cow or two in the yard and feed it well. I will kill the cow by standard method. It will never know it’s going to be harmed or experience anything. They are frequently manipulated by vets and others. I will have a butcher come to the yard with his truck and clean the cow, returning me the usual amount of about say, for cattle 58-62% , hogs 74% and market lambs 54%., and for cattle close to half as hamburger. doing so requires sunlight and grass, and maybe some agricultural feed. This does not require chemistry and energy or other man-made substitutes that are costly in energy to produce. This is the healthiest method of eating available to man. If we buy and raise two young cows at a time, and keep a large freezer, they will have company and be happy the whole time. They are cows. DATA The average American eats 200 lbs a year. (I eat more than that) With an average market (live or on hoof) weight of 1,150 lbs and the average yield of 62.2%, the typical steer will produce a 715 lb. (dressed weight) carcass. The dressed beef (or carcass) will yield approximately 569 lbs. (further details below) of red meat and trim (take-home meat – which includes the average weight of 27 lbs of variety meat: liver, heart, tongue, tripe, sweetbreads, and brains) and 146 lbs of fat, bone and loss. This is roughly a yield of 80% from the dressed or hanging weight – this is for a VERY LEAN Beef. A High Quality, USDA Choice Beef will yield approximately 70% of the Hanging or Dressed Weight. The yield on the take-home meat weight from the live weight of the (VERY LEAN) steer is approximately 50%. Chuck – 209.5 lbs total, which is 29% of the dressed/hanging/carcass weight: Blade Roasts and Steaks 33.9 lbs. Ground Beef and Stew Meat 83.3 lbs. Arm Pot Roasts and Steaks 35.5 lbs. Cross Rib Pot Roast 25.4 lbs. Fat and Bones 31.4 lbs. Round – 155.8 lbs. total, which is 22% of the dressed/hanging/carcass weight: Top Round 34.6 lbs. Bottom Round 31.2 lbs. Tip 16.8 lbs. Rump 7.8 lbs. Ground Beef 33.4 lbs. Fat and Bones 32 lbs. Thin Cuts – 134.6 lbs. total, which is 19% of the dressed/hanging/carcass weight: Flank Steak 3.6 lbs. Pastrami Squares 2.9 lbs.

  • A Wise Woman Speaks: Have A Few Kids And Get Back To Me

    —“The refrain in my head is generally “have a few kids and get back to me” lolol ;)”—Jeannine DiPerna


    If you don’t have kids you don’t know much about the world. If you don’t have a business, you don’t know much about how the world works. If you haven’t traveled the world you don’t understand how hard our ancestors worked NOT to be like the rest of it. Wherever people are, It’s mostly a sh-t hole.

  • The Consequence of Rejecting Dualism

    Jan 29, 2020, 6:12 PM by Martin Štěpán The “accident of birth” argument falls apart when you reject dualism. I mean that accident of birth implies that it’s an accident your consciousness (soul) got assigned to your body rather that consciousness being produced by the body. So when someone asks me something like: “What if it was you in that situation?”, I respond with: “I am a product of a specific time, place, genetics and experience. It wouldn’t be me in that situation, it would be someone else.”
