    We have an intellectual resistance out there. But it doesn’t include any alt right figures at all. I mean, who survived the purge? What did the alt right fail to do? Why? What does that mean for the chances of producing change?

    @Imperius__13 @Aristomedes @DSA_dienstmann Well, I’d have to take your word for it. Not that it’s worth anything. That said, I mean, the reason I’m making noise is precisely because the alt-right failed, right? Shot the wad and went down in flames. Doxxed, De-monetized, Silenced.

  • Upgrade Cycle of Movements – Including Ours.

    You know when you’ve been out of college a while and you realize you need to upgrade friends? I mean, they got you to this point, and maybe there is a keeper in there, but you really need to upgrade to people who more share your career, family, or lifestyle? Businesses go through a similar cycle, of selling to whomever they can get, to those who others don’t serve well, to those that are mainstream, to depending on their best customers, and if possible they shoot for ferrari-gucci territory of specializing in the pure signal market. Movements go through very similar evolutions. You start with the fringe because they’re the extreme novelty seekers. The fringe spreads your message to those seeking to augment their own novelties. Those spread to those seeking ideas. To those that are searching for solutions. To those that want a solution to rally around. What we fail to mention is that we must rid ourselves of people who might be a drag on the next market. And this is sometimes painful. Some people cannot follow. Some have followed enough. Some can follow, some drive, and some lead it. And if you are lucky you develop a group that leads it in different directions (I think that’s us) rather than tries to maintain control of it (as did NRx). Furthermore, there are people you must very clearly disassociate yourself, your business, or your movement from, because their desires for attention, influence, and control ( or to divide, or undermine ) your ability to gain the next more advantageous market. Most of you know how I work – very ‘thoroughly’ – by immersing myself in a subject, tearing it apart, and rebuilding what I can from the few grains of truth I found. I then use established groups as test subjects and attack those ideas – because the very passionate defend them intensely. If you are of a certain mind this can be fascinating to watch. If you are of other minds, this can be upsetting. But it is science at its best: exhaustive reduction to operational language. Over the past few days I’ve been working at making some very clear distinctions, and creating some distances. I have very clear reasons for doing this. I’ve never considered myself ‘alt right’ because it is synonymous with the use of critique (disapproval, ridicule, shaming, rallying, trolling, propagandizing) and utterly devoid of innovative solutions to the problems we face. Hence why I used ‘New Right’ until others coopted it. We have seen the main body of the previous alt right crash and burn since Charlottesville. We have seen the intellectual resistance ‘right’ (or rather then right classical liberals) take over the discourse. But they are just creating a thin veil of resistance against the onslaught of the Cathedral Complex. The question I want to answer, is where from here? For myself, I want to increase the number and quality people increasingly ‘the ordinary right’. Why? There is nothing unpalatable about my work – it’s an innovation on classical liberalism. I don’t hate on anyone. Every group can transcend. If we only end cosmopolitanism and take responsibility for doing it. May 19, 2018 5:55pm

  • –“What Are the Factors Causing Such Widespread Mental Illness?”–

    —“In your opinion , what are the most salient factors causing such widespread mental illness that we can realistically address ?”—Edgar Braintree  1) de-socialization, 2) dissolution of the family. 3) dissolution of civic society and its institutions. 4) de-norming of society 5) school is wasted after 5th grade and counter-correspondent with reality. 6) lack of physical development and exercise in men. 7) De-competition of the male experience and therefore the incentives of males to function in society. In effect we are making it impossible for people to calculate a ‘fit’.

    Economists shall measure all changes in capital including genetic, normative, cultural, and institutional, rather than merely income and productivity – else we do not know whether we spend down our precious long term wealth for short term consumption – congratulating ourselves for nothing other than wasting our inheritance.

  • Trump Is Doing What He Promised. He’s an Entrepreneur. Govt Is Just an Obstacle to His Promises to The People.

    Trump isn’t a neocon (expansionist) he’s trying to withdraw into safety, and focus the economy on expansion rather than postwar pacification. That means settling all open disputes (which now include Russia – but the press hasn’t caught onto Russian reduction of military spending and redirection to diversifying the economy), ending Korean conflict and bringing those troops home, and in the middle east, preventing a near monopoly of oil production over there, consequential development of a bourse, and new petro-currency, and the military buildup such an event would permit, and the creation of a wealthy military empire – and instead, he’s doing the obvious that’s been recommended by the generals which is to eliminate any islamic state’s expansionism, preserve egypt, the kingdoms, in the south, israel in the center, and the existing high-violence states in the north. (syria, iraq, iran, pakistan). The assumption at present is that Turkey and Iran will form power centers, and that Turkey will return to the islamic civilization and leave the european civilization and thereby cease being a ‘torn country’. The Palestinians have institutionalized rebellion so everyone is waiting them out. And they’re done for the simple reason that israel will eventually fail demographically about the same time that Palestinians are integrated in the region. So the only remaining problem in this plan is replacing the iranian regime and eliminating it’s nuclear (if not military capacity) and as far as I know, given rates of protest, and the public’s intolerance for more economic suffering due to military expansionism, that’s going to happen. TRUMP IS DOING WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD DO IN HIS CAMPAIGN. The only thing he isn’t is whatever he can’t because it’s blocked by congress.

  • Technology: Opinions on BTC, Digital Shares, Digital Title

    Initial generations of any technology follow a nearly identical pattern of over-enthusiasm and over-investment by hobbyists reaching the same limitations and failing to circumvent them. The subsequent generations of technology put greater investment in the hard work of solving the limitations, and paying the high cost of reorganizing the entire model if necessary. This is why first movers do not generally make the money that later movers do. I’ve said for years now that : (a) the idea of title registry and fractional shares as a medium of exchange, itself is brilliant, but; (b) proof of work requiring waste heat is a pretty bad design, (c) transaction processing time under proof of work is a bad design. (d) lack of posting (rolling up fragments into a single new share and retiring the old) is a bad design. (e) lack of federation and sharding is a bad design. (look we invented a division of journals and ledgers for a reason.) (f) btc are shares in a vulnerable network and as such a token money substitute persistently retaining that vulnerability, (g) ***I predicted that centralized, monolithic versions of the idea using mainstream technology and maintained by the treasury and banking organizations will succeed where distributed systems will not, for the simple reason that the user interface for, security of, response time for, archival ability for, and insurability by an insurer of last resort capable of restitution of losses, will have all the utility advantages without any of the weaknesses.*** (h) hence the distributed nature of the technology which makes research and development by individuals and teams possible, and provides a cheap means of financial speculation on these technologies, is not as valuable as the fractional share and record of title, and all we are doing is free research and development for the state, and the private banking network, check cashing networks, etc. I am extremely thrilled by the ICO model and self issuance of fractional shares because it totally screws big finance. I’m extremely thrilled by the ability to create a portfolio of digital monies that can only be used for certain exchanges – this will solve the primary problem remaining with that thing we call ‘money’. I am thrilled that we might create something on the order of a gold backed fractional share reserver to remove fiat money from circulation as a defense against inflation, and restoration of the possibility of comparatively lossless saving. However, I have zero faith whatsoever in the durability of any form of encryption, or any distributed software, until there is a firmware revolution – which is a long way off. Two part keys have been with us since we cut tics in sticks of wood – literally since we evolved speech. I haven’t been wrong so far. It is very unlikely that I err.
