I can’t find anything when searching for it”— Hajnal Line: Line where bipartite manorialism spread in northern europe, producing delayed marriage and higher investment parenting, and seems to have been the cause of low clannishness, the work ethic, and high trust. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hajnal_line Just as Kevin Macdonald worked on the Jewish Question, Jayman/Steve Hsu and others on the genetic question, to a large degree HBD_Chick (who stays anonymous just as did Jayman) works on clannishness and she popularized (among the HBD movement) the work of both Emmanuel Todd (French historian), and John Hajnal (Hungarian-British Mathematician) in their work on the differences between populations in europe – particularly given their family structures. This work dovetails with Hannan’s “Albion’s Seed” argument about the retention of local british culture as waves of british immigrants spread across the states. -Curt Doolittle

    (FB 1546091221 Timestamp) SACRED INVERSION There have been things in the world properly made sacred by inversion; we’re doing our damnedest to reverse the sanctity of these things by making them “normal” once again. Jonathan Pageau gives a wonderful presentation on the perversion of “modern” art. He speaks to the world “turning upside down.” I see this as the world turning from sacred back to merely ordinary. 🙁 [The reversal of a necessary and brilliant upending] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUcdDfmjoTQ. Humans have a nature and thus bring a “collective subjectivity” to the value judgement of artistic endeavors. In other words it’s not “simply” subjective. By: G.K. Chesterton: “The family may fairly be considered, one would think, an ultimate human institution. Every one would admit that it has been the main cell and central unit of almost all societies hitherto, except, indeed, such societies as that of Lacedaemon, which went in for “efficiency,” and has, therefore, perished, and left not a trace behind. Christianity, even enormous as was its revolution, did not alter this ancient and savage sanctity; it merely reversed it. It did not deny the trinity of father, mother, and child. It merely read it backwards, making it run child, mother, father. This it called, not the family, but the Holy Family, for many things are made holy by being turned upside down. But some sages of our own decadence have made a serious attack on the family. They have impugned it, as I think wrongly; and its defenders have defended it, and defended it wrongly. The common defence of the family is that, amid the stress and fickleness of life, it is peaceful, pleasant, and at one. But there is another defence of the family which is possible, and to me evident; this defence is that the family is not peaceful and not pleasant and not at one.” Scott Adams, whom I have a great respect for misses the mark in his most controversial (and that’s saying a lot figuring most of his positions support Trump in some manner or another) video yet; the problem of the nuclear family. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyVK_T9m5R0

Technical Universities, Financial Centers, Keep the left out of government, and price ‘minorities’ out of the urban center and into ‘the ring’ as do european countries. NYC survives because of the financial sector or it would be baltimore, hartford, new haven. Why? Look at how few people (families) pay the taxes that pay for NYC? There is a ‘village’ in NYC that pays for it all. Everyone else is just a member of the plantation. And london is worse now. )

    (FB 1546284026 Timestamp) DEFINING QUALITY OF THE WEST’S SUCCESS Increasing precision, resolution and conciseness results in packed terms which when understood provide decidibility. Increasing ambiguity, obfuscation and verbosity results in overloaded terms which when unpacked contain little substance. The former an investment with dividends, the later malinvestment which causes damage. Western civ = disambiguation across domains, scales and orders of complexity
