@RashidaTlaib You’re a great example of unfitness to serve in government. We can measure civilizational decline every time you open your mouth.

REGARDING TALEB’S IDENTITY CRISIS
Druz, Jew, Syrian, Jordanian, Palestinian, … they’re ALMOST as close to each other as northern europeans are to each other.
Look:
… NORTH
… South Caucasus, Anatolian, Iranian (North West Asians)
… <-overlap with->
… CENTER
… Mesopotamians, Levantines (South west eurasians)
… <-overlap with->
… SOUTH
… North Semites, South Semites ( middle easterns:
… horn of africa, yemen, red sea, arabian peninsula)
Ashkenazi went thru a bottleneck after selecting for literacy, and they seem to have saved their rabbis first, every time they were punished for usury and conspiracy with the state against the people, and they consistently pushed reproduction up thru the rabbis – and that’s all it took.
Adaptation may be slow but expression of bottlenecks (eugenics) is not. Six generations and miracles can happen.

MORE ON THE VULNERABILITY OF WESTERN NATIONS
(Rule of Threes…three weeks without power, three months without order…)
—“an Iranian military journal has floated around the idea of launching an EMP attack as the key to defeating the U.S. In an article titled “Electronics to Determine Fate of Future Wars,” the journal explains how an EMP attack on America’s electronic infrastructure would bring the country to its knees.
“Once you confuse the enemy communication network, you can also disrupt the work of the enemy command- and decision-making center,” the article states. “Even worse today when you disable a country’s military high command through disruption of communications, you will, in effect, disrupt all the affairs of that country. If the world’s industrial countries fail to devise effective ways to defend themselves against dangerous electronic assaults, then they will disintegrate within a few years. American soldiers would not be able to find food to eat nor would they be able to fire a single shot.”
Reporting to Congress, the EMP Commission concluded that little in the private sector is hardened to withstand an EMP attack, and even the U.S. military itself has only limited protection. In 2005, Former CIA chief James Woolsey affirmed these facts and urged the country to take steps necessary to protect against the potentially devastating consequences. In testimony before the House International Terrorism and Non-Proliferation Subcommittee, Woolsey referred to the nuclear EMP threat as “a SCUD in a bucket” whereby:
“…a simple ballistic missile from a stockpile somewhere in the world outfitted on something like a tramp steamer and fired from some distance offshore into an American city or to a high altitude, thereby creating an electromagnetic pulse effect, which could well be one of the most damaging ways of using a nuclear weapon.”
“…We do not have the luxury of assuming that Iran, if it develops fissionable materials, for example, would not share it under some circumstances with al-Qaida operatives. We don’t have the luxury of believing that just because North Korea is a communist state, it would not work under some circumstances to sell its fissionable material to Hezbollah or al-Qaida.”—

Fascinating how the depression affected families differently. My mother’s (French) lived in a large custom built home on a huge farm, with typical parlor, living room, dining, kitchen, porches, and four or five bedrooms. But they were devastated by the depression, and despite the number of lawyers and professors on my mother’s side I’m not sure they’ve yet recovered. On my father’s side they were business owners and during the depression bought vast tracks of land at rock bottom prices – and frankly lived off the incremental sale of that land as well as their inheritances – until my father’s generation they kept the original investments and did not draw upon them. This is how intergenerational families are created – demand for behavior driven by demand for inheritance of not only wealth but opportunity and prestige. However, through the excessive inflation that wealth (which was rather absurd at the in the early 20th century) it was obvious to my by the 80’s that it is nearly impossible to hold wealth between generations at these rates of inflation, unless it is in land (really: proximity to discounted opportunity costs) that has some chance of appreciating. That said my father’s people are businesspeople independent of land and soldiers and a few politicians, while my mother’s people are business people dependent upon land, with politicians, and lawyers, and academics. What has happened to both sides of the family is that they have been taxed and conquered through immigration, while the only people that profit from taxation and immigration are the financial sector and the state.

Murray just wanted to repeat the tribalism and conflict of the levant, and the separatism of the Pale, and the low trust society to the west. Rothbardianism is just Marxism for common property. Nothing more.

The State is that organization in society which attempts to maintain a monopoly of the use of force and violence;it is the only organization in society that obtains its revenue not by voluntary contribution or payment for services rendered but by coercion. https://t.co/vPXDMWp0KG

He hustles IQ to prevent lower class and supernaturalist immigration into western countries having well understood the high cost we paid to domesticate (cull) our own populations, and why that was a principle cause of our rate of success.

No, the reason is that (a) they had a century of ‘being behind’ that gave them a national mission, (b) they had the red army, (c) that army was able to enforce literacy, (d) demographically they do not pay the rural IQ deficit, and labor forces can be put rapidly to work.

@nntaleb @liberalnotlefty @StefanMolyneux This is why I’m not a fan of Stefan M anymore.
The reason China are more established these days is because they work longer hours. They work longer hours, some of them under terrible working conditions to achieve what needs to be done.

The other is ireland. It suffered from serial marriage, out-migration and from mysticism (the church), and we have good long term data on ireland. The other recent one is Ukraine where everyone in the middle class migrated and the only people left are one generation off the farm.

there is a very simple reason why large companies exist in some countries and not in other countries. There is a reason for high trust polities and low trust polities. There is a reason for heroic ethics, and submissive ethics.

The west SURVIVED the first wave of Semiticism (Abrahamism) because of genetic reserves. Every other civilization that has tolerated Semiticism has been destroyed by the continuous expansion of the underclasses.We are in the process of not-surviving the second wave of Semiticism.

I can understand someone saying “listen, I love strangers but I am more comfortable w/my nationality, shared values” (homophily) or “neighbors get along better than rommates” (fractal localism). But making “others” genetically “inferior” using IQ “science” is quite sinister.
