  • History Solves the Incel Problem with Civil War

    Mar 6, 2020, 4:40 PM

    —“Curt, How do we solve the incel problem? Do we must accept as a natural fact that 80% of women go to 20% of men?”–

    That’s not true. It’s that 30% of men are less desirable b/c they’ve been deprived of necessary male training, education, and fraternity in order to accomodate (the frailties of) women’s intolerance for dominance play. Yes, 1/3 of men are undesirable, but b/c dysgenia – fix both.

    —“You mean we have 30% of good quality men who can’t find partner( marriage,children) because of feminist waves( freedom of women and its consequences).”—

    I am saying that (a) people in general are having a lot less sex for reasons we understand, (b) women no longer need men for economic support or reproduction, ( c) incentives (education, taxes, immigration pressure) are hostile to marriage, (d) this is producing expected results. And yes, (e) the expected results mean that we have returned to the HISTORICAL NORM where 1/3 under monogamy, 2/3 under poverty, and as few as 1 in 17 men during prehistory have access to sex. These men are de facto, by the evidence, not of sufficient quality that women will defer other consumption in order to consume those men. Claiming they are of sufficient quality is simply demonstrably false. Fix men (product) or fix the incentives (market). Latter is easier. So – if you want to fix the problem fix men (product) fix incentives (markets). I suspect that incels are insufficiently manly to solve the problem as have their ancestors – and therefore are demonstrating the truth of the market condition. In other words, the gene pool is selecting incels out of it, unless incels demonstrate that they are manly enough not to be selected out of it.

  • Presentation on Systems of Thought

    Western Tradition we call Aristotelianism from prehistory to future, by class and by age. Will tweak it a bit as usual over time. Need to add a left most column for European IE tradition. (I wonder how many people will understand this.)

  • Reason for Western Decline

    Mar 8, 2020, 10:29 AM 1) Western genetic, cultural, institutional, and technical advantage has been redistributed to most of the world. 2) Our internal redistributive politics have ended our genetic advantage because e have stopped breeding in sufficient numbers. 3) Our civil war (World Wars) destroyed our aggression and willpower. 4) Immigration of postwar Jewish intellectuals created the second abrahamic dark age with the false promises of marxism, postmodernism, feminism, and HBD-Denialism, and sold them to immigrants, the underclass and enough of white women, through the university system, consumer marketing, entertainment and media – undermining our cultural advantage. 5) Immigration and underclass reproduction have eroded our institutional advantage.

  • The Reason for Western Excellence Is Simple and Ancient – And Decline, Recent

    Mar 8, 2020, 10:42 AM Western people’s military technology during the western indo european expansion from 2500-1200BC, required (a) a fully militarized polity (b) a voluntarily militarized social order with self funded warriors using expensive hose, bronze, and wheel (entrepreneurial),(c) the natural law of sovereignty and reciprocity we call ‘tort’ or “property”, and the Jury, and the larger version of the jury “democracy”. WIth the combination of military epistemology, military meritocracy, a military social order where everyone has value and earns respect if they just do their duty regardless of rank, and a judicial system predicted on nothing other than evidence, produced a social order that (a) with the least falsehood, (b) with the greatest opportunity for adaptation, (c) with the greatest possible rate of adaptation, (d) with the greatest incentive for technological and organizational innovation. These people used these traditions to conquer all of northern europe, then to expand southward into southern europe, most likely contributing to or causing the bronze age collapse, and then, rebuilding greece, rome, defeating rome, and rebuilding germania, scandinavia, the baltics, russia. When the turks conquered byzantium, and entered europe tey barricaded trade and the europeans developed the age of sail to circumvent the muslims, and discovered the world. They used the world’s new resources (technological advantage) and remoteness (exclusivity) to bring resources to europe, transform them, and sell them to the world, to finance the huge cost of their imperial expansions. The only mistakes they made were not crushing france entirely, so that the holy roman empire, (germany) could control the continent, and russia the steppe; and stopping russia from reconquering byzantium (orthodoxy), and instead having a civil war that ruined it all. Had the west completed the job of colonization, and dragged the whole world into modernity without world wars, abandonment of the colonies, the wars against communism, the current civil war against jewish-abrhamimsm and immigration, and the wars against islam would never have been necessary. Instead we left the world half domesticated and having to catch up to us on their own. The primary difference between the west and the rest is truth and honesty and no-cheating, and no corruption, and rule of law of sovereignty and property because we were equal in respect as a military people, even if unequal in economic ability – we were all in our ‘rank’ and if we do our duty we are due respect. This is also why we win wars, and other people do not. REASON FOR WESTERN DECLINE 1) Western genetic, cultural, institutional, and technical advantage has been redistributed to most of the world. 2) Our internal redistributive politics have ended our genetic advantage because e have stopped breeding in sufficient numbers. 3) Our civil war (World Wars) destroyed our aggression and willpower. 4) Immigration of postwar Jewish intellectuals created the second abrahamic dark age with the false promises of marxism, postmodernism, feminism, and HBD-Denialism, and sold them to immigrants, the underclass and enough of white women, through the university system, consumer marketing, entertainment and media – undermining our cultural advantage. 5) Immigration and underclass reproduction have eroded our institutional advantage.
