    Gender and Class Distributions: Outliers do not help us with general rules, they only tell us not to erect barriers. Distributions tell us general rules. You cannot construct a civilization out of outliers. That is a contradiction in terms.

    Yeah. I get now why westerners are good judges, advertisers, salesmen, and craftsmen, and why slavs and particularly Russians are such good engineers and mathematicians and chess players, but not really very good scientists.

    Catholics also make better philosophers than protestants. For similar reasons.

    Metaphysics matters. And Metaphysics is determined by your perception of relations with man. We extrapolate that to the physical world because we cannot escape our biases.

    I have been struggling with this forever.

    THE WESTERN MISALLOCATION OF INVESTMENT IN THE WESTERN PORTFOLIO

    (another way of putting it)(becoming levantines)

    We have over invested in improving the structure of production to the point at which we are causing catastrophic harm.

    We have over invested in government to the point at which we are causing catastrophic harm to the family and civilization.

    We have over-invested in the export of rule of law and democracy to the point at which we have caused harm.

    We have over-invested in the academy to the point at which it causes systemic harm on a daily basis.

    We have UNDER invested in the family, in discipline, in training, and in education.

    This over-investment is the result of fiat credit – and it is not investment at this point -it is merely burning down four thousand years of the west’s accumulated cultural capital. We are becoming Levantines.

    **Do less interference. Consume less. Spend more time on your children.**

    Cultures save because they can. Other cultures don’t save and invest, because they can’t. We created commons because we could. They didn’t because they can’t.

    PROPERTARIANISM: WE TOOK THE FAMILY FOR GRANTED

    We spend all this time, text and talk on the individual, women, government and economy. But we took the structure of reproduction for granted.

    We compete, using 1) the structure of tribal competition, 2) the structure of reproduction, 3) structure of pedagogy, 4) structure of production, and 5) structure of commons.

    Liberalism has been nothing more than an exercise in hedonistic consumption at the expense of the civilization that made that consumption possible. We destroyed the family. And with it, our civilization.

    It’s solvable. But it’s going to require blood and treasure to do it.

    NORTH SEA TRUTH VS LEVANTINE CRITIQUE

    (profound)(group evolutionary strategies)(macro-sociology)

    Once you grasp that Cosmopolitan (Marxist-Socialist, Libertine, Neoconservative) Critique is an attempt at exclusionary authoritarianism – a modern restatement of the technique applied in Jewish argument and law – it becomes fairly obvious why the combination of (a) desire for obscurant arguments to be true, (b) emotional and intellectual investment in the truth of these obscurant arguments, and (c) hostility to refutation, are so pervasive: 1) psychological utility obtained from intuitional moral ‘righteousness’, 2)group unity in that moral conviction, and 3) ostracization of non-believers on the other, are precisely what ‘separatists’ require of a religion.

    However, this modern set of religions is pseudo-scientific and pseudo-rational rather than legal, mystical and monotheistic in verbal construction. But the verbal construction is merely a technological advancement over monotheistic mythology, and jewish dual-ethics-law.

    Northern europeans used truth, property and fighting as the binding commitment to one another, not belief. We used opportunity to join success in a hostile landscape, and they used threat of ostracization in among hostile tribes. We are all the product of our ancient geographies.

    The strategies of the weak and small in number, versus the strong and small in number. Both Jewish and Germanic systems of thought evolved for use by small populations.

    You will take notice which strategy leads to the construction of vast civilizations, technology, art, science and medicine, and what the other led to – near extermination.

    —“For movie audiences, the mainstream, the 99%, catastrophes aren’t something to dread; they are something to look forward to. They are a catharsis, a conceptual clearing of the deck. They are the implosion of the banking towers at the end of Fight Club, they are the destruction of the White House in Independence Day, they are the wholesale destruction of the entire global map in 2012.”–

    I have a better idea: Revolution, voluntary association, and voluntary disassociation.

  • OPPOSING VIEW – THE FORCED CHRISTIANIZATION of Rome was the GREATEST CRIME AGAIN

    http://charltonteaching.blogspot.com/2014/12/what-made-christians-different-in-roman.html?m=1AN OPPOSING VIEW – THE FORCED CHRISTIANIZATION of Rome was the GREATEST CRIME AGAINST MAN IN HISTORY.

    Christianity was practiced by perhaps five percent of the population until Justinian determined that by closing are stoic schools and imposing eastern tyrannical mysticism via the state he could exert eastern dominance levels of dominance over the empire.

    The forced christianization of Rome is perhaps the greatest crime in human history. It is hardly something to be respected, appreciated or cherished, any more than stuffing people into ovens is to be cherished.

    We only now understand by contrasting stoicism with Buddhism that we had invented not only science, reason, logic, mathematics and with Archimedes made possible an industrial revolution, but also we had invented the most important religion ever constructed by man.

    There is nothing to celebrate other than our the miracle of our achievements in spite of this terrible crime against the west and perhaps all mankind – and our eventual escape from this horror.

    As Hayek said, the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries will be remembered as a new age of mysticism conducted in pseudoscientific rather than mythological terms.

    Democratic secular humanism justified by Keynesian Forcible redistribution, American Anglo neo Puritanism, and cosmopolitan pseudoscience are little more than a restatement of Christian authoritarianism – for the same purpose: to conquer and control.

  • Why Do White People Have Cargo?

    [A] lot of people hate white people. I have been discriminated against by Jews, Asians and Blacks in particular. But I have a lot of options within my tribe. So it’s an outlier condition. But it begs the question: Why don’t others have so many options within their tribes? Why isn’t opportunity in white organizations an outlier?

    Or as Yali ((Guns Germs and Steel)) asked: why do white people have cargo?

  • Leninism’s Atavism

    —“Leninism’s development of the totally expropriating state was profoundly atavistic. So atavistic that, the Soviet Union managed to pass through ibn Khaldun’s state cycle in a single life time. “— Michael Phillip –“Lenin famously claimed that communism was socialism + electricity. Actually, it was an attempted return to the origins of the state + electricity. But bargaining states had let loose technological dynamism on the world, and mere expropriation was no longer the cutting edge in organising societies. The gap between Leninist pretension and economic reality became de-stabilisingly obvious. So, we have collapsed Leninist regimes or societies with notionally Leninist ruling regimes ruling very not-totalitarian societies or, in the case of North Korea, a regime that has embraced its atavism. History is how the present was created, but only provides understanding if we accurately grasp that history.”— Michael Phillip
