    THE STRATEGY FOR OPPOSING FRAUDS IS A COSTLY INVESTMENT IN THE PRESERVATION OF THE INFORMATIONAL COMMONS.

    I teach everyone the same strategy:

    1) return ridicule or criticism,

    2) restate the central argument

    3) pose why the deception is necessary if one is correct.

    4) repeat until the audience is numb to the rallying shaming and other emotional distractions, and has absorbed the central argument through repetition.

    Ergo, (in response to ad hom)

    1) you’re a poser, and a liar, and a fraud, and can’t address the central argument.

    2) The central argument that heterodox views are disproportionately expensive if not impossible to obtain citations in orthodox distribution channels. And that this problem is endemic to all market-driven (customer seeking) platforms.

    3) That you have been engaging in distraction and shaming rather than addressing the central question (despite the variety of forms I’ve presented it in) and that you’re demonstrating exactly the infantilized behavior I accuse you of as a means of avoiding the fact that if you DID address that question you would lose face.

    4) I am happy to continue to demonstrate how you and other libertarians use marxist and feminist argument (rallying, shaming, and avoidance) as a means of defending your pseudoscientific contra-rational malinvestment in a failed cult. It’s for the good of mankind.

    See how that works? See?

    Feminine rallying and shaming is predicated on the cheapness of those arguments, the expense of repeating the central argument, and the intuitionistic emotional reaction of infantilized audiences.

    However, through repetition we achieve what we cannot achieve through a single reasoned argument.

    And this is why it is so valuable to play losers like you as suckers.

    To demonstrate the success of the technique if you are willing to pay the cost of pursuing it – just as we pay high costs of altruistic punishment in all OTHER walks of life.

    The informational commons must be protected just as all other commons are protected, if we are to crush the criminal left, and the infantile regardless of affiliation.

  • Is White Male Privilege Distinct From White Female Privilege?

    This question and all questions regarding ‘privilege’ should be banned from Quora as pseudoscientific hate-baiting.

  • Is America Becoming More Tribalist/racist?

    ( PREFACE: My position is that all race questions on Quora should be banned. The reason being that false and comforting answers pass editors, and truthful but unpleasant answers do not. Therefore Quora contributes to harmful propaganda by permitting these questions. On the other hand as one of the experts on this subject, people ask me to answer, and I do.)

    Endemic racism hasn’t changed in the USA and never will, bcause it doesn’t cahnge anywhere except when there is absurd wealth that alleviates competition. But racisim is becoming more severe because of the political influence of immigration (invasion) by large numbers of hispanics who do not integrate, and the recent expansion of islam and its lack of self-policing, it’s hostility to modernity, hostility to science, and hostility to integration.

    As long as a minority consists of less than 5% of a population there seems to be little conflict. Above 5% and when minorities congregate in neighborhoods, cities, or regions we see (universally) their attempt to seek political power in order to obtain by political means that which they cannot obtain by market means. There are no conditions under which this is false.

    The USA is worse off than say the UK, France and Germany because we have no ‘culture’ other than commerce and rule of law. And due to activism in the 1960s, we have lost all our ‘norms’. So it is no longer possible to achieve what we could prior to 1963: indoctrination into the protestant work ethic, the absolute nuclear family, some variation of christianity, and a meritocratic social hierarchy.

    So we lack a culture, lack norms, lack normative institutions, and therefore all conflict is ‘free for all’ and forced into politics.

    At present the ‘war’ is between the six immigrant cities, and the rest of the country.

    What I suspect is that this conflict cannot be resolved through any solution other than either civil war, secession, or the devolution of normative law from the federal to the regional governments in line with the “11 Nations” of North America, and relegating the federal government to roles only of insurer of last resort (war, retirement, health, property conflict.)

    What I suspect will continue to occur in the six major immigrant cities is reversion to type: the evolution of a caste system like we see in india and south america. The reason being that the median genetic ability of individuals in each tribal and racial group will produce castes as we have seen elsewhere.

    All political action is a proxy for violence. There is no circumventing of that reality.

    When political action is no longer a sufficient proxy for violence – man universally returns to violence.

    And no civilization has ever been as fragile as ours.

    I mean, really, I play the same stupid pet tricks as trump and everyone falls for them – libertards, libertines, trumpers, alts, and nazis. Damn. Is it any wonder the masses are as gullible as goldfish when the activists are like rats in a maze?

    Agency is perhaps the most scarce good.

    It’s a problem of market failure. lol

    WHAT HAPPENED TO THE RIGHT?

    —“What *happened* to the right? Despite the fact that I lean right I often find myself embarrassed by the state of modern conservative thought and its aggressively anti-intellectual tendencies. Today’s conservatives can’t seem to accept evolution or articulate a coherent vision of right-wing principles and theory, yet they descend from De Maistre, Evola, Burke, Mises, Rand, and similar thinkers. Other than you, Moldbug, and a handful of libertarians like Tom Woods and Bob Murphy there is almost nothing interesting happening. What went wrong?”— A Friend

    They couldn’t find an answer to social darwinism and the fact that western civilization is in fact, darwinian – and that this darwinianism is the reason for our success.

    What do you do when you tell the lie of democracy and at the same time have to tell the truth of darwinian evolution?

    You talk nonsense

    That’s what

    —“Ah. So if we don’t want to squander the promise of the Western Aristocratic tradition there’s no avoiding social Darwinism?”—

    Bingo.

    We have to TELL THE TRUTH.
