    Milley inspired me today. I adore that man. Why can’t we have men like you and Milley in public office instead of those we suffer with increasing regularity.

  • That one is the mother of children, and her talents evolved for that purpose, sa

    That one is the mother of children, and her talents evolved for that purpose, says nothing to alter the fact that men alone create adulthood, reason, invention, industry, government, the arts, and civilization, and that women whenever having access to influence have pursued infantilization, irresponsibility, unaccountability, and hyper-consumption, including the full spectrum of accumulated capital, and destroyed that civilization from within. The reason being that female intuition, being empathic within time does not scale, while male intuition, being systemic over time does scale. And that female attention and status seeking is pursued by consumption and irresponsibility, while male attention and status is pursued by capitalization and responsibility. The fact that our experiment with women in pedagogy and politics in the past century has brought us to the point of a repetition of the collapse they brought Rome via Christianity, only confirms the theory of feminine sedition and undermining, by the most scientific means possible: replication of the femininity of the church in the dark ages, the fall of Rome, and the female ascendancy in Sparta that led to her extinction. Three points test a line. Four falsify any doubt. The only question is whether women can be trained out of their instinct for destruction under cover of the pretense of care, by equal suppression of their antisocial and anti political behavior as man have been. History suggests some, somewhat, and within limits. But not enough, enough, within those limits to eliminate their risk. As women are far more limited in self regulation due to the necessity of the preservation of impulsivity required to bear the otherwise rather irrational incentive to bear and care for offspring, which is a feminine reactive requirement as much as preservation of tribe, organization of it, territory, tools, production, and resources are a masculine proactive requirement. Hence female impulse in time vs male reason over time. And this is the origin of all differences in human behavior.

    Cheers.

    When it does, it’s when the shit hits…

    POWER SHIFTING IN THE MIDDLE EAST OR $$$ SHIFTING?

    The Iranians are an on going threat to the Saudis and that will never end as long as Iran is under the Mullahs. What’s happening instead is that china is becoming the dominant oil market and China needs to ensure that supply because it’s their only chance of survival if they start a conflict. So it’s profitable for everyone to siphon at the Chinese trough today like the American in the past. AFAIK, the Saudis will never truly surrender their dependence upon American protection without equal insurance from another state that can both project power and prohibit Iran.

    I don’t know when Israel with cut off Iran’s head, but as far as I know we are all remaining diligent and waiting for Iran to internally reorganize such that this issue is no longer necessary, and the Iranians give up their dreams of empire as the rest of the region has.

    I mean, it sure appears to be working slowly in both Russia and China. Why? America is of necessity a logistics conscious military and state. And if Americans have time to prepare we gut production and win by firing fewer shots. Though, thankfully, like our European colonial ancestors, we have learned that ‘some human animals can’t be domesticated’ – sorta like horses vs zebras. 😉

    As we sit today, it’s hard to imagine Iran isn’t already at war with Pakistan. (Which if I had any access to incitement, I would.)

    I was pretty certain around 1990 that we had succeeded in ending the age of totalitarian agrarian empires and fully I ushered in the era of nation states, federation, and a worldwide understanding of the mutual value of free trade.

    And… well. That idea didn’t last long. By 2010 we understood the opposite was true. We always cut off our ‘wars’ too early, because that is the European tradition with one another, and we are as optimistic about other civilization’s behavior as we are European.. And that as in all things turns out to be false.

    We are in fact WEIRD. 😉

    That’s correct. The same is true for Ukraine and Taiwan. They last remaining predatory authoritarian empires cannot tolerate nearby demonstration of the superiority of a free people under law with a government limited to the betterment of the people and not the betterment of the people who rule them.

    I’m sitting near the deputy secretary of education for a local state. I happen to know his wife (his third). She stepped out for a moment, and I started conversation by asking him if he was able to chat or preferred not to. And having overheard that he just flew in, and that he was downing scotch, listened to his itinerary – which gave no clue to his occupation but whatever it was he wasn’t proud of it. Men will tell you their biz if they are.
    Just then his wife returned, and I said that I was trying to pry conversation out of him. She replied that ‘He hates people’. 😉 She told me his occupation, and I started laughing and said “I’m so sorry for you.“ 😉 And he lowered his head accepting it as if it was expected. And didn’t disagree. Though admittedly he’s a bit tired. 😉
    I can’t imagine having a job where you listen to the complaining of and endless stream of overconfident clueless harpies pursing self interest under cover over moral duty with emotional loading of conviction.
    So I wait until they’re about to leave and “Can I ask one more question? What’s the best and worst aspect of your job?” He lit up and said that the best part of my job is the 500,000 kids I have that I love and care for.” He said the exact number, but I didn’t write it down at the time. “The hardest part is that this is adiverse state and every [locality] is very different. So I worry about giving all these kids a choice of achieving the life they want. And our biggest problem is that everyone can’t and doesn’t want to got to college (and something about how the weren’t helping them).”
    Now, what I see is a good person, who is passionate for his or, and holds a moral conviction to serve the children, but one that is limited like everyone from producing excellence instead of pleasing students and parent’s fantasies. What I heard later was the need to focus too much on their state of mind. What I didn’t get was any sense of the children developing responsibility and duty and putting in the work necessary to compete in the modern economy. An economy which he later stated, had a high cost of living vs the income of a lot of the student’s families.
    Unless we are more demanding, we are not going to produce a competent generation, and we will continue our demographic decline.

    Love you all.
    Cheers
