    REMINDER: WHEN YOU ASK ME TO REVIEW WORK I WILL DO SO – BUT YOU COST ME TIME. HENCE DON’T GIVE ME POSTMODERN JUNK.

    Review of a Bolivian Paper on the Alt Right.

    (ouch. remember that if you ask me to review academic work I will do my job. And if you are giving me postmodern drivel I’m gonna be very unkind in my analysis)

    0) First, I can improve on the understanding of the manifesto section a bit. However I am extremely critical if not hostile to the method of argument you are using because it contains nothing testable and as far as I can tell is just postmodern critique. So I won’t comment on it.

    1) The correct framing would be that the current generation of thinkers has adopted the marxist techniques (ridicule, shaming, rallying) simply by being exposed to them for decades.

    2) The movement was made possible by a)end of socialism, b) genetics, c) cog sci (d)immigration.

    3) the movement is merely a cyclical return to nationalism in the face of immigration – first Hispanic since hispanics have one to one replacement of whites, but secondly and more emphatically, muslim immigration which we perceive as even more hostile than jewish.

    4) Trump is an ally of the alt right simply because he is pursuing a strategy of nationalism and the restoration of the balance of powers instead of the single superpower of America that is too expensive for Americans to continue paying for.

    5) the alt right is possible because the internet allows people who are naturally apolitical to mirror the propaganda strategy of the marxists who are highly political. So the economics of collaboration have been reversed from favoring the left to the right.

    6) closing down stormfront and others merely drove the movement to use symbolic language, private message boards, video and podcasts, and made it possible for the right leadership to charge money for content. It backfired.

    7) For the rest of the article I had to give up translating and reading at page 50 because (a)you do not put forth a testable argument and then demonstrate how you defend it, and (b)you then engage in opinion measurement (intellectual gossip) rather than any form of measurement.

    8) This kind of argument passes for pseudo-academic work in literature (its all they have to measure) but not in social science where it is nothing more than formally outlined gossip.

    9) I am sorry if this offends, but you have clearly been taught that this form of argument is acceptable academic work. It isn’t.

    Let me help you. Males learn via dominance play. I teach the ‘male way’ through providing vehicles for dominance play by means of articulate argument. I stomp on other means of dominance play. But if you taught boys through dominance play they would be interested in education.

    MALES REQUIRE DOMINANCE PLAY (GAMES) TO INVEST IN LEARNING
    Let me help you. Males learn via dominance play (competition). I teach the ‘male way’ through providing vehicles for dominance play by means of articulate argument. I stomp on other means of dominance play as unconstructive in this venue. But if you taught boys through dominance play they would be interested in education. The reason boys check out of society is that they have to resort to video games for their dominance play. Anything that can be taught in a video game will work.

  • Ageism in The Workplace (insufficient Demand)

    The problem is (a) delayed entry into the workforce by unnecessary education, excessive educational debt, and immigrant labor filling entry level jobs, (b) immigration of cheap labor favoring upper middle and upper classes at the expense of the working and under classes (c) common property, no fault divorce, alimony and child support guaranteeing elder male poverty and alienation, (d) the replacement of the ‘easy jobs’ with females at the expense of replacement rates of reproduction, and the displacement of males who are less able to self-modify to suit heavily female environments into only the dangerous, physically degenerative, and dirty jobs – or out of the workplace altogether. Business satisfy demand, but government creates demand by immigration, taxation, and family policy. Fools talk about what is good directly (oughts), and adults talk about incentives that produce goods (is’s). Unfortunately due to Dunning Kruger education effects popularized by the island 120 median, the fools do not know they are such.

    PETER THEIL: UNIVERSITIES ARE AS CORRUPT AS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH 500 YEARS AGO

    (The church and academy that sprung from it, have master the art of profiting from the distributing of information under the promise of future good, without warranty of their claims. This is why propertarianism is necessary: to prevent profiting from goods, services, and information, that are not warrantied.)

    26 Jul 2018
    Technology giant Peter Thiel argued this week that American universities are as corrupt as the Catholic Church of 500 years ago.

    Speaking to a group of conservative students on Wednesday night, tech legend Peter Thiel compared American universities to the Catholic Church of 500 years ago.

    “The analogy that I’ve used is that perhaps the universities today are as corrupt as the Catholic Church was 500 years ago,” Thiel said. “If you think about the eve of the Reformation when Martin Luther posted his 95 theses on the church doors, there were all these priests that did not do very much work in much the same way that college professors and administrators are today. You had to pay these indulgences the way that you have to pay runaway tuition today.”

    Thiel went on to argue that American society teaches young people that the quality of their lives will be determined by their success at college. “It’s also a story of salvation,” he added. “If you get a college diploma, you will be saved. If you don’t get one, you will end up in a very bad place. We need a sort of reformation. I’ve often described the universities as the atheist church. It’s not going to reform itself from within. The reformation will come from without.”

    Thiel also made the case that universities simply aren’t working the way that they used to. Decades ago, a college education was the key to a vibrant and lucrative future. Now that college degrees have become the standard, more debt-carrying students find themselves without fruitful employment even once they have their diploma.

    “Universities are supposed to provide a one size fits all education for everybody,” Thiel said. “They are not working the way they used to. We have an education bubble in this country. There is no single thing in this country where the costs have gone up more than they have gone up in education for the last 40 or 50 years.”

    “It’s like the opposite of technology,” he finished. “With technology, you do more with less. With education, we are doing less and less but spending more and more every year.”
