Marxists Salve The Useful Idiots
ISLAMISTS USE THE MARXIST STRATEGY: PLAY TO THE DISCOUNT-SEEKING OF USEFUL IDIOTS —“Moderates exist only to salve the anxieties of the useful idiots. They were given the right to determine customary problems, then they said that they needed a parallel judiciary. When this was achieved, they asked to be governed according to Sharia. When this was achieved the “extremists” appeared. They said that it was not right for Gods law to be checked by secular law. What was required was the entire islamisation of Nigeria. They realised this could not be achieved democratically, so they took up arms. Abacha gave them sharia and his successors got war as payment.”— Haille Mariam-Lemar

Intellectuals Are Wrong More Than The Common Man For A Reason
When we combine anchoring, with intellectual investment, with the status benefits, and with the high cost of changing frames, it’s not rational to expect intellectuals to act otherwise. What we find is this: intellectuals who specialize in very narrow domains and are current with the data tend to be very good. Whenever intellectuals try to work on generalizations it at least appears that we do better asking people on the street. this is why economists supposedly disagree: most economic knowledge of any discreet topic is almost always counter-intuitive. So if you ask a thousand economists a question you will get terrible results, but if you as the top 12 in any niche you will get awesome results.

How Did I End Up In This Intellectual Market Position?
(irony) [A]s a libertarian, my prescriptions were often Friedmanite solutions to social democratic preferences. As an alt right libertarian I advocate paying the lower classes not to reproduce at replacement levels, and to limit immigration to 115 and above IQ’s in technical disciplines. The reason being that I prefer to live in a high trust society with many commons and high redistribution, including ‘dividends’ on the economy (variable and unpredictable basic income) because the labor market pricing structure is out of balance with productivity. And I have come to understand that ‘retirement’ and ‘delayed adulthood’ are catastrophes. The single reason I’m associated with the ‘hard’ right is that I’ve come out so aggressively against the great lies of the 19th and 20th century. And that those great lies are just deception constructed as a pseudoscientific version of the prior deception constructed in Judeo-Christian-Muslim mysticism. But that’s not my central argument. I also state that the enlightenment philosophies from all European cultures: Anglo(Empirical/Legal), French(Moral), and German(rationalist) philosophies were equally false and contradictory to what made Europa exceptional and ‘faster than the rest’. It’s true the anglo and german philosophical frameworks were false, but at least they were beneficial, while the french and Jewish frameworks were catastrophes for mankind. I’m happy I’ve given young men a language with which to communicate the feelings of their internal voices. And I’m proud that I succeeded in my life’s ambition: to create a language for the rational, scientific comparison of ethical, political, and group competitive strategies. So our generation is armed to the rhetorical teeth so to speak. But let’s not lose sight of the broader insight, that TRUTHFULNESS dictated that I return the philosophy of liberty to its aristocratic origins as the TRADITIONAL DISCIPLINE – if not science – of the western aristocratic excellence in the application of organized violence to domesticate mankind by the incremental suppression of parasitism – thus forcing him into productive labor in order to survive and reproduce, and converting the proceeds from our efforts into Truth, Goodness, and Beauty.

REMOVE CHOICES FROM YOUR OPPOSITION IN ANY NEGOTIATION.
Unfortunately, I’ve become too good at this – to the point where it feels to others like entrapment. In my mind I simply think that x is the only logical outcome and I act in favor of x, without the consent of the other party, who feels (incorrectly) that he or she could have influenced the choice.
This is an example of my (unhealthy) arrogance. I am definitely so paternally arrogant that I treat everyone as children. And that if I didn’t I’d be dishonest with them and myself.
Interesting self insight.
I thik it’s subconscious from having so many negotiations, deals, or ambitions ruined by idiots who we must make consent to that which they cannot understand.
