But I should emphasize the opposite.Apr 18, 2018 8:14amGreg Hamiltonthanks, I neve knew about that lake. Very cool history lesson this morning.Apr 18, 2018 12:53pmCurt DoolittleI’ve been working on this problem a while, which is converting from thking about land masses to thinking about freshwater regions, and it appears that our different ethnic groups evolve on fresh water regions. And those that stay near the salt water and warm temperatures and disease gradients, or cannot find fresh water lakes. DEVOLVE.

  • Semitic Urheimat Is North Africa

    SEMITIC URHEIMAT IS NORTH AFRICA Africa-to-Levant hypothesis Map of Semitic languages and statistically inferred dispersals. One hyptothesized location of the divergence of ancestral Semitic from Afroasiatic between the African coast of the Red Sea and the Near East is also indicated. Christopher Ehret has hypothesized that genetic analyses (specifically those of Y chromosome phylogeography and TaqI 49a,f haplotypes) shows populations of proto-Semitic speakers may have moved from the Horn of Africa or southeastern Sahara northwards to the Nile Valley, Northwest Africa, the Levant, and Aegean.[4] Edward Lipiński supports a Northwest African origin due to the relationship between a Pre-Semitic Afroasiatic language and the Niger–Congo languages, whose urheimat probably lies in Nigeria–Cameroon.[5] In support of this hypothesis, Lipiński points out that Proto-Semitic: – did not originate in Arabia, as previously hypothesized, since the region could not have supported massive waves of emigration before the domestication of camels in the second millennium BC.[3] – did not originate in Mesopotamia (and adjoining areas of modern Syria), since there is evidence the original inhabitants were a non-Semitic population. – shares more isoglosses and lexicostatistical convergences with the Berber languages than any other family, thereby; – showing signs of a link with Berber long after other Afro-Asiatic language families, such as Egyptic and Chadic, and; – was still spoken during the mid-Neolithic Subpluvial (i.e. 5th millennium BCE, when the Sahara was more humid). A Neolithic culture in the Sahara possibly related to Proto-Semitic collapsed due to desertification and climate change around 3500 BC, according to Lipiński – a fact attested by evidence such as rock art. This may have forced Proto-Semitic speakers to emigrate en masse through the Nile Delta to Western Asia. They were probably responsible for the collapse of the Ghassulian culture in Palestine around 3300 BC.[6] Another indication of the arrival of the proto-Semitic culture is the appearance of tumuli in 4th and 3rd millennium BC Palestine, which were typical characteristic of Neolithic North Africa.[6] It is possible that at this point, the ancestors of the speakers of Elamite moved towards Iran, although the inclusion of Elamite in Afroasiatic is only contemplated by a tiny minority.[7] The earliest wave of Semitic speakers entered the Fertile Crescent via Palestine and Syria and eventually founded the Akkadian Empire. Their relatives, the Amorites, followed them and settled Syria before 2500 BC.[6] The collapse of the Bronze Age in Palestine led the southern Semites southwards, where they reached the highlands of Yemen after 20th century BC. Those crossed back to the Horn of Africa between 1500–500 BC.[6] Recent Bayesian analysis suggests an origin for all known Semitic languages in the Levant around 3750 BCE, with a later single introduction from South Arabia into the Horn of Africa around 800 BCE. This statistical analysis could not, however, estimate when or where the ancestor of all Semitic languages diverged from Afroasiatic.[1] It thus neither conflicts nor confirms the hypothesis that the divergence of ancestral Semitic from Afroasiatic occurred in Africa.

  • The Alt Right is a Western ideology that believes in science, history, reality,

    https://voxday.blogspot.com/2016/08/what-alt-right-is.html?m=1TL;DR: The Alt Right is a Western ideology that believes in science, history, reality, and the right of a genetic nation to exist and govern itself in its own interests.

    CURT’S TAKE:

    ———

    SELF DETERMINATION (SOVEREIGNTY):

    Kin, Excellence, Eugenics, Nationalism (Europe, east asia),

    – vs –

    OTHER DETERMINATION (COLLECTIVISM):

    Corporate, Quantity, Dysgenic, Universalism (india, brazil, levant)

    ———

    In the interest of developing a core Alternative Right philosophy upon which others can build.

    The Alt Right is of the political right in both the American and the European sense of the term. Socialists are not Alt Right. Progressives are not Alt Right. Liberals are not Alt Right. Communists, Marxists, Marxians, cultural Marxists, and neocons are not Alt Right. National Socialists are not Alt Right.

    The Alt Right is an ALTERNATIVE to the mainstream conservative movement in the USA that is nominally encapsulated by Russel Kirk’s 10 Conservative Principles, but in reality has devolved towards progressivism. It is also an alternative to libertarianism.

    The Alt Right is not a defensive attitude and rejects the concept of noble and principled defeat. It is a forward-thinking philosophy of offense, in every sense of that term. The Alt Right believes in victory through persistence and remaining in harmony with science, reality, cultural tradition, and the lessons of history.

    The Alt Right believes Western civilization is the pinnacle of human achievement and supports its three foundational pillars: Christianity, the European nations, and the Graeco-Roman legacy.

    The Alt Right is openly and avowedly nationalist. It supports all nationalisms and the right of all nations to exist, homogeneous and unadulterated by foreign invasion and immigration.

    The Alt Right is anti-globalist. It opposes all groups who work for globalist ideals or globalist objectives.

    The Alt Right is anti-equalitarian. It rejects the idea of equality for the same reason it rejects the ideas of unicorns and leprechauns, noting that human equality does not exist in any observable scientific, legal, material, intellectual, sexual, or spiritual form.

    The Alt Right is scientodific. It presumptively accepts the current conclusions of the scientific method (scientody), while understanding a) these conclusions are liable to future revision, b) that scientistry is susceptible to corruption, and c) that the so-called scientific consensus is not based on scientody, but democracy, and is therefore intrinsically unscientific.

    The Alt Right believes identity > culture > politics.

    The Alt Right is opposed to the rule or domination of any native ethnic group by another, particularly in the sovereign homelands of the dominated peoples. The Alt Right is opposed to any non-native ethnic group obtaining excessive influence in any society through nepotism, tribalism, or any other means.

    The Alt Right understands that diversity + proximity = war.

    The Alt Right doesn’t care what you think of it.

    The Alt Right rejects international free trade and the free movement of peoples that free trade requires. The benefits of intranational free trade is not evidence for the benefits of international free trade.

    The Alt Right believes we must secure the existence of white people and a future for white children.

    The Alt Right does not believe in the general supremacy of any race, nation, people, or sub-species. Every race, nation, people, and human sub-species has its own unique strengths and weaknesses, and possesses the sovereign right to dwell unmolested in the native culture it prefers.

    The Alt Right is a philosophy that values peace among the various nations of the world and opposes wars to impose the values of one nation upon another as well as efforts to exterminate individual nations through war, genocide, immigration, or genetic assimilation.

  • Let’s Not Fall for Jewish Propaganda

    Any people with wealth will buy trinkets. Any people with wealth can participate in the luxury of the arts. Any people can produce gossip, ridicule, moral hazard, and gossip. Any people who work at it can produce propaganda. The question is, how many people raise humanity out of ignorance, superstition, poverty, starvation, hard labor, child mortality, early death, disease, suffering, the vicissitudes of nature, and a universe hostile to life?
    How did western people do that in a few hundred years in the ancient world, and a few hundred years in the modern, while all of humanity slowly stumbled along? Why is it that the jews, the most literate people in europe, a people who claim such success, did nothing, accomplished nothing, until we nearly forcibly converted them to rule of law and aristotelianism, kicking and screaming against us all the while? I have no problem in respecting people’s traditions, but if anything they have done more harm to humanity with their adoption of the female technique of creating moral hazard, backed by disapproval, shaming, ridicule, gossip, rallying, propagandizing, and its near industrialization in every form. In other words, the technique of undermining the moral order of every civilization that hosts them. So lets be a little more honest in our understanding of history, and not fall into more propaganda and hazard creation. Socrates, Aristotle, Archimedes and Zeno created the world we live in. They, on the other hand, created the industrialization of the most catastrophic deception that has ever existed on this earth: pilpul, justificationism, fictionalism, and the art of profiting from destroying a people through undermining their trust in one another. They have been the most destructive people in human history and are the antithesis of greek thought, and roman moral universalism, resulting a nearly a billion dead, the dark ages, and the near repeat of their cause of the dark ages in the modern world?
    So, before anyone gets too self congratulatory let’s be a little more scientific in our analysis. Almost every good in human existence is due to the southern movement of corded ware peoples into greece, and the development of the hierarchy of math, logic, idealism, rational philosophy, proto-science, and aristotelianism, and it’s conversion into stoicism, empirical administration, and roman law by the romans. Every other discovery or addition is trivial by comparison and I’m happy to argue everything from persian astrology to arabic numerals to chinese paper, to indian steel. Wealthy peoples will eventually develop many technologies by trial and error, and will converge on techniques, but no other people invented reason – none, and no other people created adaptive market civilizations and rule of law because of it. SEQUENCE OF HISTORY The greeks invented idealism. The Rabbis adopted it. This is the beginning of rabbinical judaism. They Rabbis Combined Pilpul (justificationism that we see in numerology, astrology, and religious interpretation), Idealism, and mythology (invented to justify claiming ownership of lands upon persian retreat), to create their poly-ethical (‘immoral’) law. The genetic advantage of the Jews originated in that they began with north african (semitic) levels of aggression and tribalism (do the research since the aggression gradient radiates out of the red sea), they have been through multiple population bottlenecks, and then rebuilt populations from very small numbers (possibly only in the hundreds), then funded the reproduction of their smartest, practiced serial marriage, and outcast anyone unable to master the traditions. Rabbinical breeding (small variations in top performer family size) in a small population will produce eugenic effects (at the high cost of genetic diseases) far faster than the average person understands. Contra select for verbal acuity in their males produced transfer of gender dimorphism resulting in transfer of female verbal ability to males, at the cost of well known but impolitic problems in the male genome. (This research is very difficult to assemble for obvious postwar reasons but it’s obvious to the dedicated.) However, the claims of jewish contribution are false – it’s precisely the opposite. In fact, prior to Einstein it’s hard to find anything, which is why his brand is protected so aggressively. The jews invented the cause of the dark ages: Abrahamism, that lost them their territory by underinvestment in commons, doomed them to that medieval condition and near extermination, destroyed the western aristocracy of the ancient world, and gave islam its methodology, with which islam destroyed the four great civilizations of the ancient world by conquest and consumption, killed half a billion or more people, and by 1200 had caused intellectuals under muslim rule to flee to the west – thankfully returning scraps of greek knowledge that the christians and muslims had all but extinguished by burning, or closing the greek and roman schools. (I specialize in the means of deception we call ‘abrahamism’ which is the use of (european) human vulnerability to optimistic suggestion to create and then exploit moral hazards. We created a low clannish, low tribal, outbred, high trust civilization – and the only one other than the Japanese – but we are vulnerable because of that trust. (We do not know if it’s genetic or not yet.) The jews, despite being the most literate people in europe contributed absolutely nothing to civilization – at all. No arts, no monuments, no sciences, no letters, and by the time they were liberated, were so internally superstitious that they were considered mentally incompetent by the end of the 19th c. (Do the research.) They medieval jews specialized in moral hazards that ‘good christians’ would not participate in: (a) moneylending to the poor then exploiting their dependence, (b) tax collection particularly in borderlands and questionable returns to the state, (c) using a+b to obtain property with which to extract rents. This resulted universally in the peasants (farmers and craftsmen) taking every opportunity to exterminate the jews, particularly during the plague era. In the modern world jews were responsible for the counter-scientific revolution that included boasian pseudoscientific anthropology, marxism’s pseudoscientific economics and sociology, the pseudoscience of authoritarianism we call psychology and the means of shaming and ridicule we call ‘psychologizing’, the re-platonizing of mathematics through cantorian sets, the organized ridicule, shaming, and degradation of the representational, heroic, mythical, and romantic arts (modern art), disproportionately responsible for the soviet catastrophe, the membership in the secret police, and consequential genocides, and the near repeat of their destruction of the great civilizations of the ancient world, through their advocacy of the calamity of socialism and communism. Worse has been the use of favoritism and funding to stack universities yet the systematic legal prosecution of western continuation of the same habit (a violation of reciprocity), their systemic attack on the vulnerability of our constitutional solution to the judiciary that allows the court to render judgements rather than return decisions to congress, by the intentional, well funded, selective prosecution of cases that force the court to legislate from the bench. Their funding and support for the 1964 immigration act by which they hoped to import underclasses to achieve through immigration that which had not been achievable by marxist revolution, socialist economics, frankfurt school ‘pseudo history’. Today we still see jews dominating industries that profit from moral hazard and eschew all responsibility for warranty of consequences, by incremental destruction of our high trust norms: Entertainment, Media, Propaganda, Gossip, Pornography, Finance, Rent seeking, Academy, and Law. Whatever people claim we can judge the quality of their character by the industries they occupy: those which products are warrantied and those which are not. As sowell said, our elites today are ‘articulate and full of promise’ bu but the evidence is that those articulate elites are not only short on delivery, but have resulted in the total absence of an increase in productivity in the american economy since the 1970’s. There are few economists that can hold this discussion with me but the reason that we have not gained in income and productivity is because of the policies that have been extremely destructive to the rest of the world, have been simply harder to implement here. If we imposed the same warranty of due diligence we require of products and services on academic, political and economic speech those occupations filled with articulate people promising impossibilities in order to create and profit from moral hazard would be vacated and our civilization restored to its prior productivity progress and order.
