    The Chairman of the Central Bank. There is no question about it.

  • How Large Is The Alternative Right? How Fast Is It Growing?

    I am personally, within my lifetime, going to convert the (rather large) Alt Right into the New Right. The reasons why this is easy, has almost everything to do with geographic distribution and demographics.

  • Why Has Socialism, Or “socialism Of Chinese Characteristics” Been So Successful In China?

    It hasn’t been. Its state corporatism that has been successful in china. China is run as a for-profit corporation of 1+billion people, using the country’s intergenerational borrowing capacity to attempt to create a modern consumer economy by using that borrowing capacity to move vast numbers of people from villages to urban centers in the hope that it will generate sustainable economic velocity.

    The outcome is good so far but just as the french revolution’s experiment is not quite over, that of china has a long way to go yet. It is a very poor, very corrupt country that remains very poor very corrupt.

    And capital is fleeing the country like rats leaving a sinking ship – so that is pretty good evidence that those living there with resources know that it will soon end.

  • Why Does The Us Government Insist On Making Other Countries Be Democratic?

    THE COMPLETE ANSWER
    The world wars dramatically changed western civilization to which we said ‘never again’. This has driven american policy since world war one. American treats europe as a set of petulant client states that are incapable of self rule. This is not new. Americans have believe this of europeans since the founding of the country.

    THE POSTWAR POLICY
    1) We cannot allow countries to attempt to use border expansion to increase wealth.
    2) We will force all countries to focus on internal development of consumer capitalsm, human rights, because this will eliminate any need for inter-state conflict, and it will generate economic ties that will make conflict undesirable and expensive.
    3) All people will rationally choose consumer capitalilsm if given teh ability to choose their own government, because everyone wants to consume, and all people wish to be free.
    4) Therefore we will support the will of all people to establish a democractic, consumer,capitalist society.

    AND THE BIG, UNSTATED, “HOWEVER”
    5) if people choose poorly and institute a government that violates these ambitions we will punish that government and those people until they make the correct, peaceful choice.

    SO WHAT’S THE PROBLEM
    1) is a good idea
    2) is a good idea
    3) is absolutely false, and incomprelnsiblly ignorant. consumer capitalsm and democracy are very, very, limited goods, after which both are destructive to family, culture, and civilization.
    4) is what the states does because it is wrong about 3.
    5) is the consequence of doing 4, while still under the illusion of 3.

    THE USA IS A GOOD INSURER. BUT A BAD DIRECTOR.

  • Where Are The Us Political Party Manifestos?

    THE MOST ACCURATE AND COMPLETE STATEMENT YOU WILL NEED.

    The left’s manifesto has been public for over a century, and is represented in the ten planks. And the left has been successful and (a) a complete canon of pseudoscience in the social sciences (b) conquest of the primary education and secondary education systems, (c) conquest of the media, and entertainment businesses (d) invasive immigration of the underclasses, (e) financialization of the economy (f) systematic intentional destriction of our constitution of natural law, by selective advocacy of cases that expose the weakensses in created by the initial draft’s compromise with the southern states, and the violations of natural law added to the constitution after the conquest and defeat of the southern states.

    The right’s manifesto CANNOT be made public under majoritarian democracy since the right’s program is entirely EUGENIC. There is a reason the right speaks metaphorically and morally – if they spoke scientifically it would be challenging.

    Now, the right (as usual) is ‘right’. But its unacceptable under democracy to state that the entire reason we lifted Europe out of ignorance and poverty was that northern Europe like greco-roman civilization was terribly meritocratic, and northern Europe additionally heavily eugenic.

    The puritans who founded the USA were pursuing a eugenic strategy.

  • Why Do We Have Laws If Criminals Are Going To Ignore Them?

    You don’t understand. Laws are the terms of the insurance policy that we demand of the state in order for not using violence ourselves.

  • Is The World Better Off With Or Without Facebook?

    I think the world is better off for facebook if only for its use in assisting in revolutions.

    I think quora WAS making the world better off before it hired …. idiots …. to post fake questions and generate page responses.
