    **—-“What is a good and recent book on the Irish economic model and the rise of the Celtic Tiger? The shorter and easier to understand the better, as I don’t have a background in economy.”—-**

    You don’t need to read a book. It’s too simple a subject for a book.

    1) They provided **heavy tax incentives** to companies who would locate there and employ skilled (technology) workers.

    2) They have the **UK judicial system**, which after the USA is the best in the world, and therefore minimizes investment risk and corruption risk.

    3) They had a pool of **underutilized, over-educated, human capital**, that speaks **english**, is **christian**, part of **scandinavian culture**(yes), at **cheap** hourly cost. (Ireland is the catholic version of orthodox culture’s Ukraine. )

    4) They benefited from (forced) **redistribution** from the EU.

    In other words, the irish miracle is a function of low taxation, a median IQ of 100, and low cost, educated population, with northern european ethics and morals, the world’s language of business (english), and one of the world’s best legal systems.

    This strategy is **replicable** if and only if you have the HUMAN CAPITAL and CULTURAL CAPITAL and KNOWLEDGE CAPITAL to duplicate it. Ergo, this strategy is very close to exhausted. (Although the tech sector of Ukraine is working hard to copy it.)

    BAD MOTHERS A BAD COUNTRY MAKE

    Well, reality is, that Sh-t people, make Sh-t countries, that have Sh-t institutions, including Sh-t infrastructure.

    All the virtue signaling in the world does nothing but continue the problem. There is only one honest virtue signal you can send – go there and physically do something about it. And stop making excuses for bad mothers who raise bad children, who build a bad country.

    Because that’s the reason.

    Bad mothers a bad country make.

    BAD MOTHERS A BAD COUNTRY MAKE.

    (from elsewhere)(re: christ langan)(thx to Chris Cameron)

    I’m subject to the same criticism’s Chris, for the same reasons, and I sympathize with the problem of working outside the existing paradigms, career reinforcement, and institutional defense of them.

    Moreover I understand that due to the world wars, we experienced a catastrophic intellectual failure in the early 20th century.

    And the Marxist-Postmodernist pseudo-scientific religion has obtained near dominance of the non STEM academy, as well as the media and state – places dominated by those on “Island 120″ and the pretentious who wish they were.

    And so some of us (albeit the very bright) are experimenting with compensating for that failure, and counteracting the pseudoscientific religion of the academy, media, and state.

    But I can identify the dependencies upon which my arguments rest.

    1 – operational language as a grammar of decidability for the elimination of pseudo-science, pseudo-rationalism, and pseudo-mythology.

    2 – reciprocity as means of decidability in matters of conflict.

    3 – eugenic vs dysgenic as a means of decidability in matters of policy.

    4 – the contingency of all non trivial premises, facts, and theories.

    etc. (quite a few more).

    So, while I have known *about* you for years, I haven’t looked into your work. And not for the reasons the Island 120 complain (a series of logical dependencies beyond ordinary people’s ability to construct and maintain constant relations) but because a) I don’t have any idea why ‘god’ matters (and I don’t care), and b) I don’t know (and can’t find) your dependencies, and c) I can’t afford to invest in your work and discover them myself.

    Because all axiomatic systems can eventually be internally justified, but it’s the survivability of the axioms (criteria of decidability) that they are dependent upon, rather than the explanatory power, and benefits of that explanatory power, that permit their survival as truth candidates.

    So, can you point me to some set of such ideas? I have a set of fundamental ideas in raw form that people have criticized as a means of gaining entry into a complex system of though. Do you have those somewhere?

    Thanks (sincerely)

    Curt
