    RUSSIAN POLYLOGIA

    —“I am endlessly fascinated by the Russian invocation of nazi past as ever-urgently still extant, while at the same time arguing that the Holodomor – the Russian genocide in Ukraine – was a long time ago.”—

  • Truth is a Very Expensive Norm – That’s Why No One Else Does It.

    (guaranteed to make people angry)(sketch)

    [H]IERARCHY OF TRUTHFUL CULTURES

    • -TRUTHFUL-
      GERMANIC EUROPE (non-ideological)
      ANGLO/AMERICAN (ideological optimism)
      INDIA (utopian idealism and justification)
    • -DECEPTIVE-
      JEWISH (circumstantial truth, dual ethics, framing and overloading: pseudoscience and pseudorationalism and informational asymmetry)
      CHINA (creative lying, obscurantism, and delaying, lying as buying time, avoiding conflict, accumulating strength.)
    • -DECEITFUL-
      RUSSIA (outright lying and cheating, non-contractual, lying as strength,)
      ISLAM/ARAB (denial of reality, deceit and aggression, lying as heroic.)

    I need a third dimension because India and SE Asia are hard to fit in a stack. And the more I work at it the more I admire how Hindus really just don’t connect to reality so much as lie.  It’s a totally different mentality.

  • NUTSHELL: SOCIAL ORDERS As far as I know, the traditional family is the optimum

    NUTSHELL: SOCIAL ORDERS

    As far as I know, the traditional family is the optimum association of kin for the purpose of reproduction and production.

    As far as I know, only the Absolute nuclear family could evolve total suppression of parasitism.

    As far as I know, nothing prevents the total suppression of parasitism (high trust) while at the same time advocating the traditional family.

    Law must be constructed for individuals, but policy can easily be constructed for families.

    But this means that the quality of one’s family influences one’s life.

    So the underclass want to be free of their family constraints.

    And to parasitically consume the better families as a reproductive strategy: to reduce the competition of good genes, by expanding the production of bad genes.

    As far as I know the only substantive differences between groups are in the distribution of intellectual biases, intellectual capabilities and aggression.

    As far as I know the reason groups defeat other groups is that they increase the rates of reproduction of either their underclasses and expand territorially, or they decrease the rates of reproduction of their underclasses and expand economically and intellectually.

    So we can choose between equalitarian poverty (islam), poverty and castes (india/brazil), hierarchy and totalitarianism (china), or egalitarianism and aristocracy (old northern europe).

    The question is only whether we suppress the rates of reproduction of the underclasses and expand the rates of reproduction of the upper classes.

  • Have We Passed Peak Human?

    PEAK HUMAN? [O]MG. What if we have passed ‘peak human’ already? What if it is not possible to improve upon late hunter-gatherer genetics, and that urbanization has produced increasingly aggressive, less intelligent, more impulsive peoples? What if inbreeding, low IQ, higher aggression, and higher reproduction are a superior evolutionary strategy? Source: Curt Doolittle
