    With a booming economy, peaking stock market, extraordinary employment, massive tax cuts, domestication of overseas capital and investment, gutting of regulatory overhead, suppression of illegal immigration, renegotiation of trade deals …. yeah. That’s making it worse… 😉

    There are those of us who plan, and organize incentives, so that the opposition wants to buy the deal, and there are those who want to take home the whole pie – because they’re not imaginative. Everyone can win. It’s just a bit of work getting it across.

    (The difference is, that you think in terms of beliefs, choice, and personal experience, and I think in terms of demographics, incentives, and institutions. You think your beliefs, choice, and personal experience are a function of your free will, and I understand it’s mechanical)

    3 – There is a very good reason why the stock market is in NY, the Bond in London, Heavy Capital in Germany, and Military in Russia. Each varies in the trust (and failure) that they tolerate.

    Warren Buffet himself says that he had near-zero success trying to ‘educate’ poorly-run businesses staffed by people of good will. So politics is always about cleavages; you just have to pick different ones. https://t.co/cXATzJBoJ8 https://t.co/jykkhniVOE

    (The value of varying trade policy like varying any organizational structure is that it causes adaptation to change and iterative opportunities to (a)decrease corruption/rents (b) enact significant improvements against organizational will (c) increase competition. Shock is good.)

    (it will work because all the incentives: identity, status, sexual, social, economic, political are to their advantage now that the windfall of the industrial and technological revolutions have equilibrated. The only future group advantage is demographic.)

  • Conspiracies In Our Genes

    Women gossip to undermine alphas – and hen peck each other in corporations to the point where they are mutually self destructive. Do they conspire by intent, common interest, or genetic disposition? There are only three possible means of human coercion: violence, remuneration(payment), and undermining (gossip). ie: Established males, ascendent males, and females. We are very artful in combining them. But still specialize. The low IQ Gypsies specialize in mobility, low level parasitism and predation, and punishing members for honest labor. Agrarians had to develop norms, traditions, traits that allowed them to hold territory. Pastoralists never produced commons, and retained their clannishness. High IQ disaporics are diasporic because they could not develop institutions by which to hold land (and made genocide against their southern neighbors who produced iron), and had to specialize in very different skills, as did ancestor females who were portable between male groups More another time. But yes, we all, worldwide, demonstrate group strategies at the top (male) and all demonstrate equalitarianism(female) at the bottom to weaken the top. They are not strategies of intent, but they are strategies of survival.
