    —“We ride on the shoulders of giants,” is an accolade to predecessors, basically ancestral worship in the western form. When we’re honest about the level of intensity and specificity our focus assumes on successful forerunners and historical high achievers, veneration obviates. Entrainment and laser sharp mental focus exclude irrelevant data (such as from non-exemplars) as noise.”— William L. Benge

    —”Why do Israelis seem to be more socially liberal than Americans?”—

    All civilizations make use of some reproductive strategy in competition with others. In the literature this is called group evolutionary strategy. Humans are capable only of some spectrum of male to female.

    Jewish civilization makes use of the female reproductive strategy at all levels, which is why Jewish civlization *has always been leftist, all but invented modern leftism, has produced most of the leftist literature, and continues to championed leftism today.*

    The fact that this strategy lost them a homeland, and has had them prosecuted and exterminated round the world, except where the west tolerated them seems to be lost on them and the foolish people for whom leftist strategies (*maximizing consumption, and parasitism upon the commons*) are desirable.

    Whether this is biological or cultural is something we haven’t established yet, but my money is on yes by a long shot from the data I have seen so far.Updated Jan 21, 2018, 7:15 AM
