    My current opinion is that verbal ability in a population and low vs high context is disproportionately influential on rates of development – and until we have better understanding of the genome I can’t but say “it sure looks like the causal axis”.

    @Danethy2 @SAStillSucks @Steve_Sailer China is a very old civilization, nearly as remote as the british isles, and following a similar pattern of development. The chinese rate of development was early because of it, very slooooooow for reasons I think I might understand.Vs westerners who were late and very fast.

    Ive been saying this for the past three years, but we need a ‘college’, so that we can bring dozens of people together, take in fees for teaching natural law, and provide room, board, and fitness using government money (that we will never really have to repay).

    We have all the pieces. The primary problem has been my health. And my current environment isn’t helping me any. I’m healthier, but I need to get in better shape so that my energy lasts longer. And I need longer periods of quiet to get into the ‘flow’ that are just impossible right now.

    I’ve been reluctant to start teaching classes online because I don’t have a place for a studio and by the time I get a studio set up, I’ve used too much of my energy, and thought about too many different to teach the subject with passion.

    Too much on my plate as always.

  • We Are Always Wrong

    You know, if we had let the soviets expand their ‘communism’ into the islamic countries, they would have crushed islamism, enforced education, and removed muslim illiteracy as well as superstition. Yet their economies would have eventually failed as all socialist economies do. And then they would have transferred to consumer capitalism and markets out of envy rather than resistance. We are always wrong. Kings were far better than democracies.

    2 – c) the scholistics were horrified by the new world slaughter, and d) the church was exceptionally interested in education and conversion. 3) so it is more accurate to say that colonialism was a continuation of “Heroism, Rule for Profit”, just as was practiced by China.

    @JulesWarr @neovictorian23 1 – False dichotomy. a) Aryanism (since the time of the Yamna) has always been expansionary and to some degree, messianic. b) the principle purpose of expanding trade was not originally enrichment so much as creating trade interdependence in order to limit war.
