    This is why proximity creates hostility. Ergo, the only solution is separation, which would provide the incentives destroyed by the great society (socialist relocation) movement, for communitites to produce norms, institutions, and elites suitable for those distributions.

  • Why a Monarch Is Superior

    All I’m saying is that a monarch is superior to any other ‘decider of last resort’ because of natural long-term incentives, and natural pressure to retain position – and that a monarchy, as ‘kin’, within a nation-state, eliminates usurpation by invasion.

  • Incentives for Durability of Marriage

    —“Why is marriage still viable for the top in this hyperconsumptive society but not for the bottom? Is it because the top have a predisposition to provide higher investment parenting than the bottom?”–Richard Hall

    Because in the upper third, there is so much economic advantage, so much status advantage, and so many more means of ameliorating differences, that the relationship can survive as a partnership. Conversely, hyperconsumption is a means of sedating the inferior status response, that drove demand for religion. Women are more sensitive to status, and have a relentless nesting urge, which is why they are more susceptible to it. Men, on the other hand, compete for status by DOING and are only concerned with obtaining a position in the hierarchy that they can afford to maintain and not lose.

  • Judgment: The Purpose of The Postmodern Revolution

    The purpose of the postmodern revolution was to relieve the infantilized mind of the pressures of competition in modernity when freed of the excuse that they were just poor. Unfortunately, the poor were poor deservedly, and the postmodern underclasses are still underclasses that can just spend money because their betters have made all consumer goods and services infinitely cheaper.
