    OK. Let’s pretend this is a serious question rather than “Maybe I can get Doolittle to laugh.”

    Heads are heavy and expensive. (About ten pounds).

    Scalps are light and expensive, but easy to fake.

    Shrunken heads are costly to produce.

    Skull pyramids are costly to produce.

    Therefore shrunken heads make an exceptional substitute for a ‘gold standard’. So, buy-in for the franchise, (the number of shares you acquire) can best be paid in shrunken heads.

    The skull pyramids are just status symbols that demonstrate one’s contribution to the common good.

    QUIZ

    For an extra ten points please explain how Inflation can be affected by shrunken-head backed currency, and how inflation can be limited.

    As far as the shrunken heads, the first step in head shrinking is generally skull removal.

So minimum twelve, preferable fifteen feet. (4.5-5.5 Meters)

    Also depends upon whether it’s by anal insertion (torture) or abdominal insertion (display). lolJan 7, 2019, 8:35 AMSteven JacksonAnal torture prevents the spread of disease by locking in the feces, waste fluids run down the stake and don’t drip on those walking underneath.

    Abdominal insertion allows for fluids to drip off toes and fingers potentially ruining the experience for visitors and observers.

    Also, the screams ensuing from anal insertion reduce the budget for production, the tortured are loud enough acoustically, we just need to light themJan 7, 2019, 8:51 AMDarren HowellDiameter of said stake??? This is gunna tickle…🤔🤔😳😳😳Jan 8, 2019, 5:09 PMTHE ECONOMICS OF HEADS.

    TOLD YA’ SO.

    —“In only three months, Apple has lost $452 billion in market capitalization, including tens of billions on Thursday as the tech giant’s stock sank further. Apple shares have fallen by 39.1 percent since Oct. 3, when the stock hit a 52-week high of $233.47 a share. With its market cap down to about $674 billion, those losses are larger than individual value of 496 members of the S&P 500 — including Facebook and J.P. Morgan.”—

    Apple is just pulling a microsoft and the sooner this clown goes the better.

    If I am right they will have to redirect to compete with msft sometime in the next three to five years.

  • “Curt, How are the courses going to work?”— Well, lets get across the principl

    —“Curt, How are the courses going to work?”—

    Well, lets get across the principle reason we need the university format.

    (a) To provide you and others confidence in your investment of time and effort.

    (b) To provide social, physical (fitness, fighting, war) and strategy (how to conduct war), the natural law and government under the natural law – the most ‘complete’ western aristocratic education that you can recieve.

    (c) Our methodology requires a rather great deal of general knowledge that you have been denied in order to suppress the continuation of western civilization.

    (d) To provide consistent training so that you all ‘sound the same’, and therefor preserve the brand value (persuasive value) of the methodology.

    (e) To provide the full set of courses necessary for a judicial priesthood in the natural law, to transform our civilization just as thoroughly as did the M-P-F’s.

    (f) To weaken any possible criticism.

    In other words, this is going to be, as is in all my work, serious.

    The courses will work just like college/university:

    1 – Lecture (video),

    2 – Assignment (usually short essay questions), and;

    3 – Online discussions (in other words, a lot of help is available, because that’s part of ‘our thing’ is teaching one another.)

    You will be able to just engage in online conversation, to join social events and activities, to take individual courses, or to take a certification in a series of courses, or to get a degree.

    These courses will be (I promise) as good or better than those you would receive in the top ten universities. If you want to study law, it’s yale and harvard, if you want tech and science it’s MIT and Stanford. But if you survey the courses at these universities and compare them to ours, you will find that we are teaching far more substantial content than those others do, even at that level of university.

    Part of the Accreditation process[1] requires those who teach warranty the students achievement. So this requires high investment of my time. So the first generation or two will get access to me. Afterward I do not know since I expect to do a lot of work generating the course material. I assume (hope) others will move in to teach the course. I know others who could do so already.

    The workload will be the same as university, which is two hours of work to every one hour of course time. This is extremely hard for me to judge and we will have to tailor it going forward. Mostly I see short readings with some writing.

    Some classes are 6 credits (two semesters of work) and some are 3 (one semester’s worth of work), and I have added some 1 credit courses as well. We are not bound by time constraints as much as universities so I will accelerate or slow the courses on demand

    So, this is not one of those multiple choice things (gut courses). We want our education to be meaningful androck solid and doing it online this way produces extraordinarily good data for the accreditation process.

    I think grades are going to be ‘incomplete’, ‘complete’, ‘distinction’, ‘honors’.

    I am trying to figure out how to prevent people from overreaching their abilities, so that we don’t have a high drop out rate, or make people unhappy and critical. And so we are going to have an ‘application’ process that does some limited filtering for some of the classes, while say, the combat and weapons classes we just want to know if you’re mentally stable. lol.

    Oh, and until we have accreditation (which takes years) we will charge the minimum possible for each course that we can.

    -Curt

    —

    [1] regarding accreditation: In the USA anyone can start a college or university, offer training, credits, and certification. It is up to the market to determine whether those certifications have any value. The purpose of Accreditation for the student is to understand the value of those certifications, credits, and degrees in the market. The purpose of Accreditation for the organization, is the access to student loans it provides. Access to student loans will allow us to scale quickly.

    All economics, in the end, is geography and demographics. All demographics is upward redistribution of reproduction. and downward suppression of it. There is nothing complicated about computational efficiency as a reduction to friction of cooperation.

    I find these comparisons by @StefanMolyneux insensitive, silly, and failing basic introspective recursion. Someone from Babylon/Ancient Egypt/The Med/China could have, at some point, made similar comparisons entailing Northern Europeans.

    by Tom McSweeny

    Talking to the Left doesn’t bring them on side because it doesn’t demonstrate value add/roi nor change their behaviour. The left is happy debating, discussing, talking, letting everyone say their piece and valuing the contribution they made out of principle rather than results, happy with instant grat and short term outcomes supporting their ideologies and ideals: “Would you look at that, the people fleeing their own shithole are happy they are in our green and pleasant lands…didn’t we do good.” And in all fairness: outcome achieved. Long term though, that way lies death.

    We play the long game: the survival of our people (eugenic conquest through space and time). Arguing with the short term gamers is like listening to a spiced soy latte t-shirt commie: “Pleeeease, can’t you just see this is the better way”. Fuck that. That’s not us. We don’t need to make the case to them, we are the case.

    We are largely also the current leverage holders (tradesman: rw, army: rw, engineers: rw). Why is that? Because we are those who deal in reality, as is.

    So how do we red pill them that will not listen? Well, people believe what they do rather than do what they believe. We win by demonstrating, offering the opportunity for them to mimic us, and personally assisting with training each other (which is what these ongoing convs online are). Talk means nothing. But taking the young woman currently “fun timing” her way down the value ladder and showing her there is plenty to enjoy without long term cost, or the skinny soy boy cringe and showing him with a bit of effort he too can be the chad family man with ten loving kids, a hundred loving grandkids, be stacked and rich…that how we do it.

    Let us recall Jesus’s statement: “I am the way and the truth and the life”. And remember we are seeking to provide what we can demonstrate to be the best way for all concerned. If the opportunity is there, then the only thing left to say is “fuck them” if they don’t take it.

    A moral license(we have one), a set of demands in constitutional form (we’ve supplied them), incentives that the majority will embrace (we’ve supplied them), a plan of transition (we will supply it), a means of altering the status quo ( never has an empire been more fragile ). 😉

    One bit of frequent advice is that if we grow to quickly the idiot factor will be impossible to control. I agree with this proposition, but it can be offset by changing what we talk about as we expand: early entrants are activists that need technical content. Ordinary people simply want to know what such a constitution would look like, how it would work, how governments would work, and how they would benefit from it. They do not need to understand the strict construction of law from first principles in algorithmic and operational language, or that we can test the truth of propositions by subjecting them to tests of due diligence in the dimensions available to human minds. They only need to know that some people can, and that if we do so, its as rigorous as mathematics.

    Ordinary people just need FEATURES AND BENEFITS. They do not need to understand the detailed process of engineering of those features and benefits.

    Let me help you. It is a disadvantage to me, to the work, and to the movement to be associated with ‘those who have failed’. The more mainstream we become, the less value in fringe players. So no, leaving behind the fringe is part of the strategy. Not getting their attention. Propertarianism is not a philosophy or a religion, it is practical law the purpose of which is to defeat the means by which our high trust people (and other stupid people) are deceived by taking advantage of the weakness of our neurological construct using language.

    NO MORE LIES, NO MORE PARASITISM IS NOT A RIGHT WING MESSAGE: IT IS A MAJORITARIAN MESSAGE.

    The purpose of separatism is economic and political as well as genetic and cultural. The purpose of conquest is the same. It is just a choice given the possibilities.

    My strategy is simple: STARVE THE BEAST AND THE PARASITES DIE WITH IT.
