    Jan 30, 2020, 12:19 PM by Bill Joslin and CD What we have learned from the past thirty years. Take a large number of men. Take all the resources you need to feed them. Move as fast as you can from region to region. Deplete the urban supply chain to feed the crew. Take out the power. Light some bonfires. Watch the catastrophe happen. The only dam holding back the ‘dependents’ is the financial system, power system, and road transport. That’s it. Break the dam and let the ‘water’ do its work. In a SHTF scenario everyone fears roaming gangs of men. So the silly folk hunker down and become victims. You cannot defend yourself from war. The only defense is offense. The solution is to BE the roaming gang of violent men intergenerational solution- become the roaming gang of violent men that win and own the peace. Rebels, Fighters and Soldiers…fight to win the war. Revolutionaries (i.e warriors) Fight to own the peace. in owning and maintaining the peace they walk the path of gods) So Show Up.

    Women don’t romance, they seduce, and they desire to be romanced. Romancing is the human male version of displaying peacock feathers.

  • Let People Own the Journey

    —(I probably didn’t think you were a dumbass. I am just very careful when helping people on a journey – most of the time if I can tell if someone ‘will get there’ it is better to let them learn HOW to get there than for me to help them get there faster.)—

  • It’s New and Only Hard Until It’s Not

    Jan 30, 2020, 6:06 PM by Brandon Hayes P, like everything new, is hard until it’s not. There are many popular thinkers and commentators now that are taking to not differentiating between “hard” and “new.” I like this for the effect it has on framing. It’s only hard cause it’s new; and it’s only new cause you just finished. 😉 P is simple; and quite frankly proper. The expulsion of deception solves for communicative misunderstanding (as saying “I understand you” when I don’t is a lie; deception). And if we don’t misunderstand each other than meaning can be relayed without delay. Only liars stand in the way; and if they don’t like being called liars… well, they ought to stop.

  • On Spirituality (Try to grok it)

    On Spirituality (Try to grok it)
    Hmm. Spirituality isn’t magic. Nor is love, nor Consciousness. These are biological processes that serve biological functions, for evolutionary reasons. The “Church” Fireside feast experience is necessary in post- tribal world but false religion is a drug that isn’t good for you.So, yes science can explain spirituality, but that explanation differs from the experience just as the science of colors differs from the experience of colors. We evolved a biological demand for ‘mindfulness’ across a spectrum of conditions. The question is how we satisfy demand. An historical religion, a dramatic religion, even a mythical religion where we pay the same debts to the past satisfy demand. But just as heroin is a substitute for sexual addiction to a partner, theological religion is a substitute for addiction to the polity – to very bad ends. And I use that analogy for very specific reasons. Because that is the closest analogy. Membership, Friendship, Joh, Sex, Love, Spirituality, Mindfulness, are causally related. 50 how can we produce mindfulness in all those conditions without the externalities of false religions? And conversely, why did the christians resist, suppress, and violently eradicate the joyous religion of the ancient world, and the secular evolution of philosophy (libertarian), stoicism (masculine), epicureanism(feminine) – to drag everyone like islam to equality at the bottom.

  • Your Principle Job as A Parent

    —“I hate to say this but you make a big difference to your children with your genes, and very little difference to your children with your parenting”— Charles Murray

    I say this slightly differently. Your genes determine everything about your children. Your principle job as a parent is not to improve your children (you can’t), but notto screw them up. And you can reduce friction in life for them by training them in good habits (grooming, manners, ethics, morals) and to do as little harm to them as possible. 😉 Just don’t screw them up.

    (Educational progress tells us nothing other than rate of maturity and conscientiousness).
