Those who Labor (Family) – Trade: Consumption/Deprivation. Labor divided into the hierarchy we call the economy: Investment, Finance, Banking, Organizing, Managing, Laboring, Trading, Distributing. (Libertarian) The Academy evolved into the Academy, Media, State (clerical), Bureaucracy. (Feminine) The Army Evolved into the Political and Judiciary, intelligence, military, and the military industrial complex. (Masculine) Such that we still possess all three classes but that most of us participate in more than one. This is why class hierarchies are conflated: one can participate in a role in each, and shift our allegiance to whatever elite as is in our advantage. We are not anchored except by our social, sexual, economic, political, and military value to one group or another.

(FB 1543420601 Timestamp) THE DISASTER OF OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM by Steve Pender Outsourcing is a symptom of the diverging of industry and education. Govt schools for decades have wasted 12 years of everyone’s youth not adequately leveraging our productive advantage in machinery and computing, to provide citizens with an education of any marketable value at the end of high school. So everyone goes to college to get marketable skills. But then college, except for some of STEM, stopped providing marketable skills and instead put kids in huge debt. Outsourcing implies that the per capita productive ability per dollar is lower here than in China or Mexico. In most occupations, you get paid more based on producing more. If Americans are not able to produce more to justify higher wages because our educational system failed to leverage our technology advantage, and we aren’t willing to lower wages, but other countries can do both, outsourcing will continue. I lay a large part of this blame on k-12 public schools. What could have been several years, from the age of 12-18, learning trade skills that transfer to an occupation, were instead wasted on social studies, political issues, 3-page essays on trivial details of novels few students even care about, haiku. How was it possible that in the early 1900s, at the taxpayer cost of under $1,000 per student-year (inflation adjusted), a labor force could built cars, ships, trains, radios, TVs, widgets of all kinds, domestically, with only a small fraction of the population having a college degree?

(FB 1543425047 Timestamp) MORE ON DE-PROPAGANDIZING “CAPITALISM” (required reading)
- Trade has always existed (generating exchange)
Markets have almost always existed (generating prices).
Capitalists have existed as long as there have been markets (generating means of production).
Northern Europeans (Venetians less so. Saxons largely, the Hansa in particular, the English systematically, the Dutch first at political scale), developed rule of law – which is why they escaped the church with the reformation.)
Capitalism consists of rule of law consisting nearly entirely of markets, and socialism of rule of men eliminating or vastly reducing markets – but all polities have some mixed economy and must do so. The problem is that the state is superior at investing in some commons, but the private sector is far better at allocating and maximizing the returns on capital.
So capitalism and socialism only evolved once the industrial revolution came into play – and the socialists demanded control over production. Capitalism then was the name they used for ‘market bias under rule of law’ , and socialism ‘state bias under rule of men’.
So any statement about when was capitalism invented, is rater ‘stupid’ really. The answer is very simple: capitalism was the ‘jewish’ view of markets, and socialism the ‘jewish’ view of the state. And suckers bought into this false dichotomy. The question is and always will be the utilities of the state monopoly vs the private sector market. And as it stands, the lesson is quite clear: when it is simple and you know how to do it, but it’s risky and expensive, the state can provide startup capital and market protections. Once that investment is running, it can be ‘sold’ to the private sector who can then maximize its potential. The USA has mastered the art of moving this high risk investment into the private sector, but this has had the effect of hollowing out predictable sectors of the economy. So it appears that once again, there are those things it is better for the state to produce (labor-consuming and strategic companies, that are less speculative and produce slower longer returns), and things that it is better for the private sector to produce (IQ consuming and highly speculative things with shorter higher returns.) CONVERSELY The flood river and irrigation valleys of the fertile, crescent, pakistan-india, and china, could produce state-capital easily, just as the west could produce private-capital easily. The west and east homogenous peoples higher trust. The center tribal heterogenous people lower trust. It’s not complicated. You do what you can with the people and geography you have.

(FB 1543529647 Timestamp) HOW DID THEY DO IT AND WHY CAN’T WE? Having divorced themselves from the burden of carrying territory, the classes necessary to defend it, police it, govern it, and the classes necessary to engage in production to pay for it, they were free to specialize in predation upon the host – primarily through various forms of usury, rent seeking, and conspiracy with the state against the people, and just as we redistributed lower class reproduction to the upper classes, they invested ALL of their reproduction in the parasitic classes. That’s the net of it right there. We can’t do that because we need to hold territory, fight for it, and pay for fighting for it, while continuously improving our condition. Ergo we produce commons and they parasitically consume and destroy commons. I mean. That’s the economics of it right there.

(FB 1543674852 Timestamp) WHY DO WOMEN UNDERMINE THE CIVILIZATION and CULTURE, the INSTITUTIONS, and MALES? (important explanations) —“…what kind of evolutionary pressure would create a desire to undermine the ingroup. All the plausible explanations I’ve seen had to do with abusing female impulses that have evolved for entirely different purposes….”—Martin Å tÄpán Females undermine the concentration of power in alphas in order to preserve some control over their reproductive choice and access to resources and male-provisioned resources, including defense. ie: females can barter attention, effort, care, and sex if they have control of the attention economy. Which is why females are so conscious (and gay men evidencing it) of attention and approval and agreeableness. So just as females operate on a status and attention economy, they fight within that economy: disapproval, shaming, ridicule, gossip, moralizing, undermining, and reputation destruction. And decreasing the number of females is not necessarily in their disinterest – so literally killing off other females increases remaining female market value, so that his the strategy females pursue: that of Hens. Undermining the males (‘sh-t testing’) is useful both at the level of insuring the ‘fitness’ of males in defending them, preserving their ability to choose, assisting them in outing ‘cheaters’ (which women are terrible at, and men excel at), maximizing cost of (returns on) their attention, care, and sex. The only problem here is that women still sexually select for males as if we are under those conditions of hunter gatherers. And this explains the attraction of women to more primitive (less domesticated) groups of males with lower agency despite that the female condition is dependent upon those of us with higher agency, innovation, and adaptivity. Hence the necessity of more domesticated (higher agency) males of defending the ingroup females from conquest or even exposure to, lower agency, higher aggression, males. (FWIW:Delayed marriage provides women with greater reproductive certainty, and therefore greater sortition, and greater formation of genetic castes, and therefore greater speciation – hence white people.) Males conversely, operate on the physical equivalent of the warfare economy, and so losses of males weakens the pack, and dilution of the ingroup male genes weakens male reproductive (evolutionary) persistence, as well as reverses domestication (evolution of agency). I could write on this subject for hours by just weaving through male and female behavior at all levels. And doing so only further demonstrates Acquisitionism and the need for Testimonialism and Natural Law to preserve the Western Advantage given the destructive influences of women.
