    Jeez Michael. The whole Island 120… damn. I didnt need that model. Here I was, thinking that as long as people have 106+ they can at least use numbers, use a toilet, and go to sleep without turning around in a circle three times, and you give me this little gem, and I start thinking about how many people in each cohort and in each half standard deviation, and … and I got really scared. ‘Cause that means the target median IQ for a Pareto-minimum is a lot closer to 115 before we aren’t carrying baggage.

    THE WORLD IS WHAT WE MAKE IT? WELL, WITHIN LIMITS…

    The world we CAN make is that which is possible given the incentives by which it is possible to influence man (gossip, remuneration, violence) given his rationality (rational choice or moral, amoral, or immoral actions in his interest) and the unequal distribution of talents, technology, and resources – and the value of organization in ever increasing numbers to achieve what his rational choice desires.

    COMPLAINT IS THE LANGUAGE OF IMBECILES

    Anyone can complain. Anyone can criticize. How many people can explain the incentives that cause people to act in a way that they do, that you disagree with?

    Complaints about people. Complaints about events. complaints about society, complaints about civilization. complaints about man.

    Complaints are merely statements of incompetence.

    Competence is demonstrated by an explanation of the incentives that produce behaviors, and the institutional methods by which counter-incentives can be created that will produce preferred behaviors. And high competence is demonstrated by explanation of a possible method of doing so.

    WHY DO WE NEED RELIGION: ALONENESS: MINDFULNESS.

    As far as I know, aloneness, or what marx called disenfranchisement, or what I call distance from the pack, is where religion fills the hole in us.

    that’s level one: eliminating aloneness thru mindfulness.

    level two is a common mythos (strategy).

    level three is festival, holiday, ritual. (equality) reinforcing strategy.

    level four is norm and law. (limits.)

    We need these things.

    But of them the one thing that defeats aloneness is what we loosely categorize as religion, but is better described as mindfulness.

    Mindfulness is necessary because of consciousness.

  • Love: – Passion (sexual attraction) – Friendship (making each other better toget

    Love:

    – Passion (sexual attraction)

    – Friendship (making each other better together than alone)

    – Familial ( kin: care for one’s offspring and relations)

    – Kith (those who we cooperate with at to one degree or another)

    – Mankind (the love of mankind)

    It is the father’s love of kith and kin, lacking friendship and passion, lacking direct benefit, only external benefit.

  • Intuition Bias, Predjudice

    INTUITION, BIAS, PREJUDICE —“Is intuition synonymous with prejudice?”—Skye Stewart We have genetics that cause us to possess intuitions and biases — – both of which are pre-cognitive. A prejudice consists of a pre-judgement, and therefore a judgement we have made by some degree of free association, reason or contemplation. One may develop a prejudice because we also possess a bias, and we may possess a bias because of an intuition, and we may possess an intuition out of genetic necessity or accident, but they are different things, and … … oh… shall I say it? Yes? Therefore they are not to be CONFLATED. lol Sigh. That felt good.

  • *I am a man. I have violence in me. I have wrath in me. I just own them. They do

    *I am a man. I have violence in me. I have wrath in me. I just own them. They do not own me.*

    I would wish all my brothers the same. Time is but an asset that we can spend or multiply. Violence is your first wealth. With violence we construct the possibility of all other forms of wealth. But to do so, we must own our violence, and own our wrath, and employ them only when producing more wealth than we consume with the exercise of our violence, our wrath, and our heady murder.

    When we have made more time, more wealth, more numbers with our violence, our wrath, and our heady murder, we have earned our joy in spending our violence on that which produces the greatest returns.

  • Sources of Ignorance

    SOURCES OF IGNORANCE I talk of Agency of late in no small part because like Popper, I grasp that there are not only sources of knowledge, but sources of IGNORANCE. Sources of Ignorance = Barriers to Agency. The most obvious of which we face today are: (a) The failure of the 20th century thinkers to solve the problem of scale via operationalism, and the continued dependence upon idealism and fictionalism. This includes both anglo empirical and german rational schools. (b) the Jewish Pseudosciences and the French Pseudo-rationalisms, of the Second Great Lie (Marx/Boaz/Freud) and; (c) the Muslim fictionalism, Muslim heaping of undue praise upon Muhammed, Muslim doctrine of finality of Muhammed’s statements, and Muslim grant of respect prior to its being earned – meaning, the preservation of ignorance in the commons.
