    Do billionaires possess the value of wealth attributed to them?. Or do they influence where its put to work just like you and i paying for something and influencing it by doing so?

    Is it liquid? And what would happen if we tried to liquidate it, and redistribute it to those 4 billion people?

    If I have 100 billion in asset value, how much do i have in liquidated value, and consequently, how much will each of those 4 billion people receive? $25. Twenty five dollars. No effect.

    And what will happen to those people using the 100Billion today across economies and industries? Profound effect.

    Concentration of capital in investments, just as military concentration of force, political concentration of taxes, concentration of people in a city, concentration of knowledge in research, concentration of capital in a business, concentration of capital in a family making the home more affordable for both – all have greater positive effects than distributing it.

    People with billions dont have billions on hand. In fact most of them have almost nothing on hand, and use credit lines and live off interest and debt, just so the money keeps working.

    I am anything but an idiot. I am one of the few non idiots that will invest in you by even responding to you. And i do it out of civic duty.

    The only problem I see with the west’s economic order is (a) trying to rescue china but giving them all the advantages of a partner, only to have them abuse it and turn it against us. (b) shipping our jobs offshore as part of the strategy of dragging the rest of the world out of poverty, and increasing local consumption. (c) but most importantly the entry of women into the workforce as peers to men, causing population collapse, and the subsequent decline in state revenues, consumption, and overall economy.
    Women gotta have little rug rat munchins otherwise everything collapses rather quickly.

    EXPLANATION
    All this graph says is that dating apps are a terrible means of developing attraction, and that women must FEEL attraction while men are willing to invest and discover it (unless they are highly desirable in which case it’s just a numbers game.)

    That’s all this chart tells us.

    Why?
    The difference between the sexes is brain differences in time orientation. (yes really,and no it’s not complicated)
    – Women live in now and men live in then.
    – Women live in empathizing (now) and men live in systematizing (then).
    – Women live in neuroticism (now) and men live in calm (then)
    – Women live in consumption(now) and men live in capitalization (then).
    – Women live in devotion (now) and men live in loyalty (then)
    These are evolutionary differences produced by the necessity of the reproductive division of labor between women and childbearing and resource allocation, and men and territorial control and resource production.

    These compatibilities can only be discovered rather slowly and with investment on the part of both parties.

    Seek value compatibility first.

    We are having a population crash. Exacerbated by losee of national competitive advantage, a relationship collapse, a marriage and family collapse, and a reproductive collapse, almost guaranteeing that we will lack the competent productive populations necessary to provide the social services, and employment, particularly for the care of the retired (if there ever will be again).

    Grow up.
    Restore the family not the individual as the primary purpose of policy.

    Correct (as usual)
    Forced retirement savings is never a bad idea given the demonstrated behavior of the population. But basing it on the number of children and how they perform as taxpayers produces the proper incentives, just as family incentives have existed for millennia

    Yes, in fact, he’s publicly said this numerous times.
    While it’s just an excuse to help Russia survive demographic and economic collapse because the optimum agrarian, manufacturing and transportation region is Ukraine, in contrast of the low productivity of the vast narrow low yield Russian steppe.
    Go ahead look it up. He uses the term liberalism but what he means is woke.

    It’s always fascinating to me that numbskulls question others from their position of near universal ignorance. Most nitwits merely respond from moral intuition, not from reason at all.

    James,
    I just don’t see that in the data at all. Though I know it’s market-salvation, personal conviction, and utility on your part, I don’t see any evidence that it’s the case. The only difference is in who talks and who doesn’t in which faction. The masculine right covers libertarian to civic national to classical liberal to Christian authoritarian to martial authoritarian.

    The only difference in the right is the perception of how to force the people to bear responsibility for capital and capitalization over time (far time sighted).

    The left is quite different. They all converge on irresponsibility, consumption, hyperconsumption, within time (short time sighted). they don’t care about the rules as the right does because they favor social randomness and manipulation resulting in the need for authoritarianism..

    Just as the differences between the sexes is feminine empathizing in time and consumption while evading responsibility as status, versus masculine systematizing over time and capitalization as a means of achieving responsibility and status. All political differences originate in this very same difference in sex organization of the brain for ancestral reproductive roles.

    You are trying to win the war of conversion by selling what the conservatives will learn from but the left will ridicule and ignore but not cancel. This Camouflage is effective as long as you practice it willingly. If you actually believe it then you’re just …. Well, charitably, I’ll say making a substantive error of motivated reasoning.

    Love you man. I know it’s not reciprocated. But I’d rather you succeed without poisoning the only market that pays attention to you. Avoid ridicule while staying on message.

  • No more subsidizing broken families that end up in poverty, with single mothers

    No more subsidizing broken families that end up in poverty, with single mothers producing risk prone and broken children. Do the opposite. Do everything possible to end the need for two income households and restore the capacity of Americans to parent. Day care is bad. Schools are horrid. And Universities are spreading cancer.

    Fix the problem of the family. Reverse the left’s and the feminist war on the family. End the primacy of the individual in policy and restore the family as the primacy of policy

    And yes I’ve done the work. And yes our organization knows how to accomplish it.

    And if we don’t we are going to devolve the federal government as the founders intended, back to the states, and separate the blue immigrant cities from the red territories, and in doing so raise the standard of behavior back to that which produces the responsibility of the inter generational family.

    And otherwise the civil war that is already producing smoke is going to turn into bonfire and the duration will be just long enough that it will burn it’s memory into history for an eternity

    Rudyard’s correct (as usual).

    Think, instead of linearly, in cycles of opportunity and exhaustion (just like the market), with creating ups and downs, and if we’re lucky at least some progress.

    Great example. A video I shared today, shows the research on the genetics across the rise and fale of the Roman empire. So genetic capital was built, social, knowledge, technical, political, and military capital built, then the accumulated capital was consumed.

    Including the genes – they went up by 2SD in the period that made the gains possible, they retreated by 2/3 from the dysgenia (hyperconsumption, exhaustion) that resulted from roman expansion.

    If Lynn was correct and it seems he has been, we are crashing the genetics, social capital, knowledge capital, political capital, technical and military capital by burning through it – and burning through it apparently by the politically unpallatable topic of the result sof the introduction of women into the voting poool, the pill, the end of responsibility for interference in mariage, and the lagging of our laws to protect against female antistocial-antipolitical behavior as thoroughly as we have male.

    So true.
    Fellow who worked for me would occasionally get up from his desk, walk to one of the white boards, and start drawing sheep. It was his subtle protest that we’d all be happier as farmers. Unfortunately, farming requires resources, financing them, and taxes – when as far as I can tell, you made a median wage for it at extraordinary personal economic risk.
    There is no reason we require taxes from anyone doing any kind of farm or construction work with their physical bodies. It’s 3% of revenue. It’s ridiculous.

    and egyptins would starve as a consequence of the end of US enforced free trade.

    China could have grown up, matured, and helped us preserve the rules based order that raised veryone including china out of ignorance and poverty. But no, the ideology of the communists, and the egoism of the CCP elites, has created the crisis under which only world wars will result, and china’s brief flash of light will be doused again, and the empire will fragment into more peaceful states whose economic interest is enough for them to participate in the world economy.
