THE EVIDENCE “The modal journalist is somewhere between Bernie Sanders and AOC.”
This is hard evidence that journalists are not just a little left wing but vastly, disproportionately, left wing. Why? Journalism is gossip. And this chart is before the fact that twitter swings left.

But intellectual consistency violates social construction and as such is not only unnecessary but indesirable for the left.
For the left desirable=true, and undesirable=false
For the right true=true and false=false
For the faithful compliance=true and non-compliance=false.

@CrusaderSvcs Well. The canon is rather obvious nonsense that fundamentalists cannot seem to get past. The question of Deism remains possible and Physical and Natural laws eradicate conflict. The left both uses Darwin against the religious right, and denies Darwin against the scientific right.

THE SOCIAL FUNCTION OF ELITE UNIVERSITIES
Elite universities open the door to cushier jobs – meaning they don’t have to work with commoners – without having to compete in the ‘real’ market. Top universities are, to some degree, a test of character – which is why governments prefer to hire from them when possible. Not because people are more capable, but because they are less likely to take risks that would jeopardize their investments in their privileged and high status positions. This strategy has worked in china and in europe. It has worked less well in the USA for reasons well understood.
Creative, innovative, high agency, high risk takers are not suitable for the top universities and the ‘academic grind’.
This is the hard wall that I didn’t hit, but Taleb did. It’s why he went off the deep end. Its because it turns out that there is a very good reason those people from good schools get those jobs and more ‘dynamic’ people don’t.
Because the more responsibility the higher the risk to those one is responsible to. And europeans do not seize non-productive opportunities.
There are opportunities for profit that men of character do not seize because they are unproductive. Taleb did. So did Soros. And Bernie Madoff’s don’t go to Harvard or Yale.

—“The Conflict’s not so much race, but agency, resulting class, class size, and resulting subculture. Race is just a convenient low resolution proxy that obscures the problem.” – Curt Doolittle
The claim isn’t that it’s a proxy for agency but it’s a proxy for this sequencing of phenomena: “agency, resulting class, class size, and resulting subculture” And replacing that higher resolution chain with “race” dilutes the information to be gleaned. LESS re-ordering is most expedient. Where tooling and training will do separation and conflict can be avoided.

I don’t think the Finance / Media / Academy / State “Cathedral” complex understands: The left and right agree that the finance and state complex is counter to our interests. That’s simply true. Otherwise we just want to sort into heterogeneous consumptive quantity (left), and homogenous conservative quality (right), The totalitarian state is preventing us from achieving our desired means of self determination. Without the federal government’s unconstitutional dominion over the social organization of the states, we could, as did the original colonies, and the many many states of the holy roman empire (german empire’s historical european organization) go our own way, and have diversity of states to suit the diversity of our interests. We aren’t proposing that anyone win the monopoly. We’re proposing the restoration of local control of self determination that is the origin of the constitution, the British empire, the Holy Roman Empire, and all of European history: small homogenous states with different cultures competing for population, production, and trade by the production of different commons. So you know, both left and right win by burning the financial and State sectors at the virtual stake so to speak, and then we return to what we seem to demand: a loosely federated states of european civilization with a material judicial ‘priesthood’ of the constitution, instead of a supernatural religious priesthood of the church. So you know, between the right and the left and the rewards of peaceful life and choice for the center, the only loser of this revolutionary reformation restoring the constitutional structure to its original intent as a federation of states combining arms into a single military for continental defense, and a supreme court to resolve conflicts over property and trade. Between the left in the cities and the right in the ‘red sea’ those who have abused us by financialization will easily pay the price. And propertarianism tells them how.

by Predmetsky Rosenborg Marx advocated capitalism as a necessary prerequisite to socialism because it would destroy national solidarity as a means of setting the stage for international working class solidarity. As far back as Bakunin, you see him arguing that “communism” would consist of an avowedly marxist elite deciding they like capitalism after all and keeping the money for themselves. Props to Scott De Warren for pointing this out earlier
The Capitalism vs Socialism vs Marxism axis is of course the antithesis of the european rule-of-law(no discretion) vs rule-by-legislation (contractual discretion) vs rule by command(authoritarian discretion) axis. Under european rule of law we produce nation states practicing rule of law that limit capitalism’s externalities. Under Jewish capitalism, we produced globalism that does not limit capitalisms externalities – but profits from it. Under jewish communism we produce globalism that does not limit internalities – it is purely despotic. There are two questions. (a) the organization of decision making: rule of law (markets), legislation(markets and commons), or command(commons or extraction), (b) the use of proceeds: retention (reinvestment), commons production (reinvestment in commons), or redistribution (consumption and dysgenia)
