HISTORY VS LITERATURE
Don’t confuse literature with history. History consists of demonstrated preference (records), Literature consists of narration. The written record is propaganda with a grain of truth. The demonstrated preference record is truth with a grain of propaganda.

4) Jewish law, which is the source of left libertarianism, only enforces the demand for volition,and not warranty. European law, which is the source of liberalism, enforces reciprocity and warranty. There is a reason for the historical incompatibility, of the two ethical systems.

Libertarians believe that healthcare prices would decrease and quality and availability of healthcare would increase if providers were freed from government meddling and control.

THE SELF-REGULATION OF THE ARTS
–Art is a way of making an idea real (open to experience). Art is the demonstrated property of an artist. Art is governed by established rules and principles and demonstrates an observance of limits on what is permitted or appropriate.”—Spencer Young
This is .. really good structure. Rarely good structure. Pls let me suggest a tweak to your thought process a bit, and to riff off this opportunity to educate others:
–“…governed by…”—
This phrase is an analogy, not a description. Is art ‘governed?’. No. The process of regulation is much more elegant than that.
– There exist economic costs of the production of different art forms.
– There exist civilizations capable of paying the costs of different art forms (or not).
– There exist technologies within each craft as well as the craft of aesthetics.
– There exists symbolic content and aesthetic composition that ‘brands’ periods (states of development).
– There exists mastery of the craft, the aesthetics, and the informational(symbolic) content.
– There exists a tradition in all of the above (market).
– There exists imitation that causes that tradition(market).
– There are canons (reference works) that reinforce imitation and tradition (standards of weights and measures);
– There is a market for imitation, canons, and the art itself.
This is one of those deceptively hard questions of art theory.
As far as I know, art is an ancient, even eternal, self-regulating market that ‘demonstrates demand for art works within both current and traditional limits of craftsmanship, aesthetics, meaning, context of display, and morals/ethics/manners (appropriateness).”
There is plenty of ‘market manipulation’ in the arts, and it has been so forever. Just like every other market. However, professionals are rarely fooled. And tradition of the heroic value of arts continues unabated.
(thanks for letting me riff with this)

I understand language as consisting of continuous recursive production of transactional measurements and linguistic competition for demonstrated results as improving measurements (truth) and biasing measurements (frauds and deceits). Whether a cliff or a climb is irrelevant.

In other words, postmodernism.

Talking to the Left doesn’t bring them on side because it doesn’t demonstrate value add/roi nor change their behaviour. The left is happy debating, discussing, talking, letting everyone say their piece and valuing the contribution they made out of principle rather than results, happy with instant grat and short term outcomes supporting their ideologies and ideals: “Would you look at that, the people fleeing their own shithole are happy they are in our green and pleasant lands…didn’t we do good.” And in all fairness: outcome achieved. Long term though, that way lies death.
We play the long game: the survival of our people (eugenic conquest through space and time). Arguing with the short term gamers is like listening to a spiced soy latte t-shirt commie: “Pleeeease, can’t you just see this is the better way”. Fuck that. That’s not us. We don’t need to make the case to them, we are the case.
We are largely also the current leverage holders (tradesman: rw, army: rw, engineers: rw). Why is that? Because we are those who deal in reality, as is.
So how do we red pill them that will not listen? Well, people believe what they do rather than do what they believe. We win by demonstrating, offering the opportunity for them to mimic us, and personally assisting with training each other (which is what these ongoing convs online are). Talk means nothing. But taking the young woman currently “fun timing” her way down the value ladder and showing her there is plenty to enjoy without long term cost, or the skinny soy boy cringe and showing him with a bit of effort he too can be the chad family man with ten loving kids, a hundred loving grandkids, be stacked and rich…that how we do it.
Let us recall Jesus’s statement: “I am the way and the truth and the life”. And remember we are seeking to provide what we can demonstrate to be the best way for all concerned. If the opportunity is there, then the only thing left to say is “fuck them” if they don’t take it.

YOU DON”T THINK OF IT BUT…
Delayed marriage and reproduction not only decrease infant mortality, increase investment in children, but they force CLASS SORTITION by demonstrated evidence of success.
This is the ‘big sort’ that is going on. Except we are not compensating by reducing the reproduction of the underclasses and upwardly redistributing reproduction to their betters.
THIS STUFF MATTERS.

Nassim, You know, every now and then you stumble in public. This is one of them. You are distinguishing between General Intelligence (a single personality trait) and Demonstrated intelligence (entire suite of personality traits). DO NOT MAKE THE ERROR YOU CHASTISE OTHERS FOR.

“IQ” THREAD
“IQ” measures an inferior form of intelligence, stripped of 2nd order effects, meant to select paper shufflers, obedient IYIs.
1- When someone asks you a question in REAL LIFE, you focus first on “WHY is he asking me that?”, which slows down. (Fat Tony vs Dr John)
