—“The real problem with homeschooling is that those smart enough to home school their kids are usually so productive they don’t have the time to do it.”—Jared Neaves
That’s because we don’t use ‘grandparents’, meaning people who are old enough to know something. We use baby sitters instead.

—“If you were to hazard a guesstimate…what percentage of the population can comprehend what you have just written?”–Tom Watt
Do you mean, CAN, or CAN and would CHOOSE to? I mean, I’m easier to understand than Kant, Menger, and Bohr to pick a few candidates. Many Millions CAN. Of those that CAN, how many would CHOOSE to without some incentive to – well, that’s is something else. That said, you would be very surprised how frequently you could approach some other conservative or libertarian male and ask if they knew about propertarianism…. I mean, I’m not a molyneux or a rothbard or even a hoppe: those are popular thinkers.
1. If you read the history of the common law it makes more sense.
2. If you read hayek, then you read my work it starts to make sense.
3. If you read Epstein’s book on how progressives undermined the constitution it will make even more sense.
4. If you have a basic grounding in microeconomics more sense
5. If you have read gary becker’s books on economics applied to social science it will make more sense.
6. If you know a programming language it makes a lot more sense.
7. To understand the 20th century you must understand law, economics, programming, and a bit of cognitive science.
8. If you take my course on foundations you will learn the current state of cognitive science and what it means, what ‘the grammars’ mean, what eprime and operational language means, what sovereignty, reciprocity, and property-in-toto means. Once you have that knowledge, and read my work, and come to understand the failure of the operational revolution outside of the hard sciences, then you’ll understand it all. I don’t write for normies. That’s what John and Eli do.

HIS NEXT VIDEO, AND REACHING THE MASSES
by John Mark
The next video I will release on YouTube is a compilation of excerpts from interviews I’ve done. In reading what Curt wrote here, I realize that the excerpts I’ve chosen cover many/most of the concepts Curt covers in this post, in a format where I explain a basic concept, the interviewer asks questions around it, and I answer to paint the picture more thoroughly & clearly.
I’d estimate that any high schooler of IQ 100 or above (maybe even 90) with a basic knowledge of how our govt works (say, a homeschooled student), can understand the great majority of the points.
The difference is, these interview excerpts total 2 hrs in length. I read thru Curt’s very dense post in probably 2 or 3 mins. I can do that cuz I’ve been following him for 2-3 yrs & I know what all of it means. The avg person new to the material, however, really needs 2 hrs just to grasp the basic points.
My point is, as Curt said, it’s not so much IQ that prevents learning these things (though that does matter somewhat especially at the lower end of the bell curve), it’s more that people have been taught wrong and have not been taught at all.
2 hrs of listening to my next video will help people understand more about how the world & politics works than a 4-yr degree in polisci at some prestigious university. Simply because it’s accurate info (not false), it contains very important non-PC info (suppressed), and it’s complete enough to give a good picture of “this is the problem of politics & this is the solution”.
The great news is the avg right-wing-instinct & even centrist person (anyone with any intellectual honesty) can be taught these things. (In other words, don’t be tricked by a beautifully dense Curtpost into thinking these concepts are “too hard to understand”.)

Sure, I respect empiricism.
My grad thesis was on the history of philosophy: Plato, Kant, Hegel and Locke – I got top marks.
600 million views of my philosophy shows.
Speeches around the world.
Over a million of my books read every year.

By that logic,shouldn’t Mark Dice,Crowder,Shapiro,Peterson be put above Stefan in reach according to ur criteria”—Checkov Pavlov @slimshadyrap98
There is, empirically, a demarcation between philosopher/philosophizing the demarcation is a) the internal consistency (grammar of constant relations) that the speaker relies upon for his arguments and b) the publication of a work of at least one novel idea in that grammar.
There is a demarcation between a philosopher and public intellectual, in the USE of that grammar of constant relations.
My specialty is the disambiguation of science (operationalism), natural law, rational philosophy, justificationism, sophism, pseudoscience and supernaturalism.
You just engaged in conflationa and sophism in the Abrahamic (GSRRM, Pilpul, Critique). And it’s unlikely that the others you mentioned know the difference. Peterson practices science but relies on suggestion using wisdom lit rather than operationalism. Borderline theology.
You can claim that Stefan didn’t produce a durable work of philosophy – and that would be true (Zizek either). And that it is difficult to disambiguate from self help (wisdom) rather than decidability (truth). But he practices the grammar of philosophy, and has produced a work.

We’ve updated the UI to make it a bit more intuitive. So it will be less likely you’ll accidentally complete a lesson, assignment, quiz, or course. We clarified the button colors, sizes, and screen locations a bit. Thanks. 😉
