    People like me are all the same, we are infovores and learn primarily on our own. In University I studied fine art and art history which is the most effete virtue-signaling degree you can get. But I’ve studied most disciplines, deepest in history, law, econ. and computer science.

    IT’S NEW AND ONLY HARD UNTIL IT’S NOT

    by Brandon Hayes

    P, like everything new, is hard until it’s not. There are many popular thinkers and commentators now that are taking to not differentiating between “hard” and “new.” I like this for the effect it has on framing. It’s only hard cause it’s new; and it’s only new cause you just finished. 😉

    P is simple; and quite frankly proper. The expulsion of deception solves for communicative misunderstanding (as saying “I understand you” when I don’t is a lie; deception). And if we don’t misunderstand each other than meaning can be relayed without delay.

    Only liars stand in the way; and if they don’t like being called liars… well, they ought to stop.

    LET PEOPLE OWN THE JOURNEY

    —(I probably didn’t think you were a dumbass. I am just very careful when helping people on a journey – most of the time if I can tell if someone ‘will get there’ it is better to let them learn HOW to get there than for me to help them get there faster.)—

  • WHAT DOES CURT USE FOR STRATEGIC AND MILITARY RESEARCH? (go where everyone goes)

    WHAT DOES CURT USE FOR STRATEGIC AND MILITARY RESEARCH?

    (go where everyone goes)

    Most of what I get is from google alerts on keyword searches.

    Otherwise I only follow data driven organizations: RAND, SSI (Army War College), CSIS, CNSAS, CIA. (The rest are – honestly – bullshit policy bloggers searching for donors.)

    I use CIA Fact Book, and Global Firepower sites regularly.

    To find things quickly I use the reference links in wikipedia.

    BUILDING A LIST

    Take this next list. Go to google alerts. create an alert for each of them. (Really. that’s all I do). Repeat for Russia, middle east, china. If you pick Europe you will just find nonsense.)

    THINK TANKS NORTH AMERICAN DEFENSE LIST (80+)

    https://onthinktanks.org/open-think-tank-directory/?select-ottd_region%5B0%5D=north-america&select-ottd_topics%5B0%5D=defence-peace-security&hidden-s&hidden-current-page=1

    GOOGLE ALERTS

    Then pick some keywords, to make another set of alerts: I use military, strategy, forces, infantry, report, and about a dozen others in various permutations.

    Russian think tanks are useful for me. So I follow ЦСР (Center for Strategic Research). ЦAСT Centre for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies. There are also a number of bloggers that are quite good.

    For overviews for newbs follow Shervan’s Caspian Report on Youtube, Stratfor, George Friedman, and of course, Peter Zeihan for the Stratfor version with humor and irony.

    4) So I’m staying on message. (a) there is no need for foreign students – its a means of universities not paying domestic rates for research assistants when nearly all research is frankly little more than ‘labor’. (See E. Weinstein) (b) every single chinese national is a risk.

    @party_blanket 2) The chinese didn’t ‘do this to their people’, instead they failed to act quickly because of fear of punishment from Beijing (as usual). 3) My concern is the ongoing soft warfare duplicating that of the soviets against our research sectors, and the same against our economy.

  • PROPERTARIANISM NEEDS WISE WOMEN I need to find a dozen women on this same page

    PROPERTARIANISM NEEDS WISE WOMEN

    I need to find a dozen women on this same page who will write a post a day to other women answering questions with the same freaking answer every time. It’s not complicated.

    (Alice Knight etc)

    I tell men the same simple thing every time:

    a) Tell the truth when you have a conflict, the truth always wins.

    b) Learn to half listen and approve without judging. This is how she neutralizes feelings. It is care taking like she takes care of you. F–king reciprocate care taking.

    c) Say you can, cant, or will, wont, but do not disapprove of a woman’s wants. Instead walk through how to make them happen.

    d) Make a fucking decision when asked and once made don’t change it. Do what you say you will. Do not agree to what you will not do – ever. And show zero tolerance for nagging. Nagging is for children. Pillow talk is for mates.

    e) Stay fit. Stay Groomed. Join a team of any kind. Deliver the bacon (provide)

    f) Defend her always and everywhere no matter what.

    g) Make her look good to her friends.

    h) Make sure she knows you’re thinking of her every day.

    i) crazy chick behavior is always insecurity and fear. If you cannot fix it then leave. you can fix it if you don’t reward it. But you can’t fall for it or the tears. You must be the man. that means that we have drawers in our brains so we don’t have to deal with the chaos in a woman’s mind. Use it like she uses to to remind you to put your fking belt on. Reciprocate.

    j) Be a man for Chrissake. If you want a mother I hope she boots your lazy man-boy ass and you lose everything because you fkin deserve it.

    k) Stay in your tribe. Very rarely do cross tribe marriages work well. With white men and azn women being rare exceptions.

    OVERCOMING THE REFLEX

    by Luke Jason Willis

    Overcoming the reflex:

    … Realize that you don’t know everything

    … Realize that you’re probably not as smart as you think you are.

    … Learn to recognize emotional reactions, understand that they are often wrong

    … Realize that the situations in your life that have taught you the most were usually the most uncomfortable

    … Be humble, be teachable
