  • If A White Person Prefers Hiring People From The Middle East Since He Has Better Experience With People From There, Is He Racist? What If His Preference Is For People From Sub-saharan Africa? Or People From Europe?

    If anyone makes any decision by any criteria other than their work history, that person is a racist, classist, cultureist, ageist, genderist.

    yet work historise are marginally indifferent, and prediction of past behavior is almost always false, and the single most important factor determiing success is cultural fit among the employees, and employees must generally be from the same class as the customers that they serve – or just below them.

    Ergo. It’s all just just anti-white pseudoscience – nonsense invented by the postmodernists to destroy western civilization and turn it into another underclass ghetto like the middle east, brazil, and india.

    I know.I know.But then, those who are capable don’t fear competition, but cherish it, and those who aren’t capable, admonish it. It’s purely logical to disapprove, shame, ridicule, gossip, and rally when on is inferior and fearful of competition.In fact, Good competition is rare.

  • Operational Economics Is A Minimum Necessary Skill For Participation In Post-Medieval Discourse.

    If you don’t understand operational economics, meaning opportunities, incentives and the equilibration of those opportunities as we act on them, then you are no different in your deficiencies from a late medieval rationalist ignorant of empiricism. Economics is counter-intuitive, in large part because it exposes the fallacies of ethical, moral, and ‘good’ pretenses and creates a measurable means testing ethical and moral thoughts, words, and actions. We are, and we act, as extensions of the physical universe, and we do so by exactly the same laws, and language just is a polite means of negotiating with others. The advantage intelligence, of memory, of the ability to cooperate, and of the ability to live for three weeks without food, is that we can use fairly long periods to plan short medium and long term means of expending small amounts of energy as individuals, and together as groups, to capture calories necessary to support that fairly expensive neurological system. We are simply a better means of capturing, converting, and concentrating energy in a universe of perpetual entropy, because our memories allow us to predict the future, and act to seize the opportunity or alter it and create it or seize the risk and alter ir. At some point humans must stop seeking discounts (cunning in the short term ) and produce returns ( productivity through invention). And we seem to covet a steady state, yet never wish to pay for the long investments that make the great leaps in wealth possible. Because they are only possible when an elite minority possesses both technological advantage AND an internal demand to create markets that produce returns, rather than predations that prevent them in exchange for current and near term signal and consumption.

    What i look for in others, is explanations of incentives, and measurements of thefts or reciprocity, which apply universally across all sentient beings. What people intuit, and I consider a primitivism, is measurement by intuition that varies between individuals, groups, classes, norms, traditions, and laws. This is the difference between primitive animal intuitions, primitive beliefs, primitive norms, traditions, laws – all of which are incommensurable, and the simple truth and falsehood that is ascertainable by imposition of costs or voluntary exchange producing reciprocal rewards.

    This is nonsense. A trade war with china would increase our prices, but it would destroy the chinese economy and …. anyway. They have more to worry about than we do.

    I’m stating a fact. Little girls in the school yard use rallying and shaming in the framing of emotional currency (ostracism). Adults talk of incentives, truth, and exchanges vs thefts.
