There are plenty of people who will post my work.
I’ll use the other social media platforms, and link to my historical work.
Frankly I need the time to work on classes and book.

That’s the economics of it.
To develop one’s writing skill, as any writer will confirm, largely consists of, writing a lot, every day, until you don’t think at all about anything other than visualizing the result and letting your fingers operate automatically.

@david_perell Well done. Hmm. Writing well consists of two excellences, and an adequacy:conveying something the reader doesn’t know or hasn’t experienced; doing so within a frame, the burden of which is less than the value anticipated; with sufficient syntactical formality, reducing its cost.

Best way to become a better writer: Live an interesting life.
Talk to people who make you think.
Travel to places that spring you to life.
Live the kind of life you’ll want to tell your grandchildren about.

HE HUMANITIES:
—“Is “humanism” and “the humanities” the study of Wizardry? How to influence and persuade?”— Butch Leghorn
And how to lie using loading, framing, and overloading…. That’s the point of literary works – to persuade by suspension of disbelief and suggestion where one cannot persuade under skepticism, with measurements, and theories of causal relations: Myth > Lit > Hist > Sci > Math
(The art of persuading children when you must, when they lack reason, retained into adulthood, to avoid the use of reason.)

DYSGENICS IN TAIWAN CATCHING UP TO ANGLOS
(1.19 in older generation. 1.4 in younger generation!!)
Dysgenic fertility for intelligence and education in Taiwan
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.intell.2017.04.009Get rights and content
HIGHLIGHTS
• Taiwan genotypic intelligence declined by about 1.19 IQ points per generation.
•The decline is much stronger for the younger adult cohort.
•Results also show the dysgenic fertility for education and non-cognitive factors.
Abstract
This study investigated the current trend of dysgenic fertility in Taiwan. Data on 680 adults aged 35 to 90 years from the Taiwan WAIS-IV norming sample and 980 children aged 2.5 to 7 years from the Taiwan WPPSI-IV norming sample were examined to investigate the relationships between intelligence, education, and fertility. Results revealed that education and intelligence were negatively correlated with fertility, and that the correlations were stronger for females. The genotypic intelligence is estimated to decline by approximately 1.19 IQ points per generation and the decline is much stronger for the younger adult cohort (1.46 IQ points) than for the older adult cohort (1.02 IQ points).

THE CORRECTION OF DYSGENICS
—“Norway and Sweden have eliminated dysgenic trends thanks to an egalitarian society;”— Lynn
Turns out this isn’t true, but it’s a solution.
1. End immigration “Send Them Back”
2. Definancialize the economy and monetary distribution.
3. Separation into small homogenous nation states
4. small homogenous redistributive polities.
5. pay the underclass not to reproduce (or sterilize them).
6. provide redistribution to simplify reproduction

—We just need to privatize and re-professionalize teaching, and have parents hire teachers they way they hired pastors (the teachers of the past). The problem is very simple. schools are a monopoly hiring teachers at a discount, and consuming the revenue in rents at all levels, when the teachers are not often people with real world experience (or ability), and they pair teachers and students depriving parents of paying for and getting teachers that they want. In other words, the socialized school system (rather than subsidized) is a non market organization producing non-market ends.—

TEACHER’S SALARIES VS ATHLETE’S SALARIES
by Luke Weinhagen
Having school age children I often hear complaints about teachers salaries.
They frequently take the form of “there is something wrong with a society that values entertainment so much more than education that it pays its athletes millions while teachers struggle to get by”.
Right comparison, wrong complaint.
There is something wrong with a society who’s standards and application of rigor to be a professional teacher are so significantly lower than those required to be a professional athlete that this pay disparity can survive.

JOHN MARK ON CONTENT STRATEGY
by John Mark
I’ve been primarily building a “catalog” of (explain, connect-the-dots) content that people can go back through and learn from once their interest is piqued, interspersed with a handful of “audience gaining” vids (targeted at popular keywords).
I’m getting toward the tail end of that phase (though there is so much insight opened up by Curt/P that it can be mined for a long time).
As things accelerate I may shift to more frequency of new-audience-gathering vids targeted at keywords etc (and then point to back catalog of vids so people can learn more).
I can see a few ways to utilize shorter vids:
1. Outline a policy, basic “why” behind it and basic “how it would work”.
2. Hot keywords/news events to gain new audience with related insight(s) that point people to explore the rest of the info funnel we offer.
3. Briefly outline a concept and point people to a previous vid and/or P.com article/search term etc. (Or, combining this with hot news item & how concept relates to it, as in #2 above.)
