    Jung was not a scientist and neither was freud, although of nietzsche, jung, and freud, at least jung tried to correct freud. However … a good relationship between archetypes and personality traits, and between traits and reward systems, vs brain structure – good intuition.

  • Magical Thinking

    –“Magical thinking is the attribution of causal or synchronistic relationships between actions and events which seemingly cannot be justified by reason and observation. In religion, folk religion, and superstitious beliefs, the posited correlation is often between religious ritual, prayer, sacrifice, or the observance of a taboo, and an expected benefit or recompense.”– As you move east and south this seems to increases rapidly

    Well, it is a physics equation we just call it a market production, with the difference between the two terms just an illusion that we have the consciousness and agency to do otherwise.

    Bad Reasoning. Health and accumulated cellular damage due to the product of the genes. Good genes persist regardless of the health and accumulated cellular damage to the body that produced them. People DO select for genes. Men will fight over 10’s no matter how ill.

    Large-scale study finds no relationship between the attractiveness, femininity, averageness, or coloration of women’s faces and their health state. (This questions the dogma that mate choice aims at “good genes”. RD)

    Something happened around the black sea, probably in old Europe, the caucuses, Anatolia or Mesopotamia, and it led to the bronze age. That something had to do with the area serving as the nexus of intercontinental trade. The ‘explosion’ of civilization (meaning technology) radiated from there outward. It is nearly impossible to reach west africa by east-west overland route. So the empires that were forming in west africa were just about at the same level of development as everyone else the same non-linear travel distance from the center of the world. There were empires, but there simply wasn’t enough trade ‘out there on the fringe’. Now we can argue about IQ, yes, but that didn’t stop the south americans.

    Europe lagged mesopotamia, egypt, hrappans, and yellow river china for the simple reason that africa lagged europe: lack of sufficient production capital to tax to form armies of imperial conquest. Rivers concentrated production and concentrated production allowed defense and taxation. the rivers of europe, the steppe, the desert, and the tundra are not as productive. That is why it required mediterranean trade in the old world, north sea trade in the medieval world, and atlantic trade in the modern world, to bring europe to economic parity.

  • —“What do you use as a basis for your research?”— A Friend

    —“What do you use as a basis for your research?”— A Friend Maybe I don’t understand the question…. I mean. I have a very deliberate methodology. Mostly the history of (a) group competitive strategies, (b) geography (c) economics, (d) political orders, (e) laws, (f) methods of argument (grammars). And I use propertarianism (Vitruvianism, Acquisitionism, Propertarianism, Testimonialism, and Natural Law) to perform the analysis. The difficult part of the work is deflating history into Propertarian terms so that all group actions are commensurable. This often requires attacking a proposition until only the truth (in Testimonial terms) remains. And in particular attacking most sacred presumptions and values. And that takes a great deal of time. I have to work long enough that I’ve defeated my own biases as best I can as well. In other words I look at the actions ( inputs, operations, and outputs) not the excuses (what people say about them), and explain the world as the different tactics we use to acquire. The methodology is something I understand very well. Unfortunately it is rather difficult to possess sufficient knowledge to employ it. As such it’s just as hard as any of the other sciences.

    I don’t know what ‘essence’ means, but the failure to measure the full set of capital (cherry picking), and the violation of reciprocity is endemic. IOW, Aggregations(Correlations) vs Operations(Causations) to obscure measurement of capital transfers. I can’t be wrong.

    DANGEROUS MINORITIES
    “The Democratic Majority Fallacy”

    |CAUSALITY| .01% -> 1% -> 20% -> EVERYONE ELSE.

    That is that historically it only takes 1-2% and no more than 3% of a (male) population to cause revolutionary destructive harm, just as it takes only 1-2% to create revolutionary productive good.

    The success of either end of the spectrum depends upon the state of development of the people, their degree of heterogeneity, the consequential degree of disparity, the consequential degree of competition, and the percentage of the populace that will practice alternative norms.

    Norms create a market for cooperation. Markets for production AFTER the market for norms (cooperation), and markets for commons after production, and markets for polities after commons.

    So no. It matters more if 1% of immigrants are hostile than it does if 1% of citizens are fully domesticated.

    Don’t let democratic reasoning fool you. The Pareto rule and the power laws ALWAYS rule – FROM EVERY DIRECTION.

    .5% of a hostile populace is enough.

    Abrahamism, particularly militant, fundamentalist, irreciprocal, equalitarian, anti-reason abrahamism, is the equivalent of a single cancer cell.

    It spreads rapidly and kills everything it touches from the inside out.

    Judaism was bad, christianity, worse, and islam the very worst.

    Islam(Judaism, Christianity) = Monopoly.
    Paganism = Markets.

    IT’S NOT COMPLICATED: MARKETS IN EVERYTHING TO EVOLVE, OR DEVOLUTION AND REGRESSION.
