    —“The World Bank’s “preferred” indicator of material well-being is “consumption“ of goods and services [because] “of reliability and consumption is thought to better capture long-run welfare levels than current income.”

    The poorest 20 percent of U.S. households have higher average consumption per person than the averages for all people in most nations of the OECD and Europe

    Even the poorest 20 percent of Americans consumed three to 30 times more goods and services than the averages for all people in a wide array of developing nations around the world”—

    So they get poverty and we get … “roving bands of undesirables”.

  • Q: “What Is the Ideal Political and Economic System, and Why?”

    Here is your answer: That which is least divergent from the physical, natural, and evolutionary laws of the universe, and as such produces proceeds that can be directed to the production of capitalizing (not consumptive) commons.

    ORDER – Order Produces Cooperation
    The ideal human order is an ethnically homogenous militia (really), wherein one is worthy of status and respect if and only if he serves (she births), and does one’s duty – regardless of rank. The behavior this produces is superior to every other social behavior.

    RULE – Rule Produces Limits
    The ideal Political order is Rule of Law of the natural law of Self Determination under the criteria of individual severity, reciprocity in display word, and deed. This is a purely scientific political order that is consistent and correspondent with the physical, natural, and evolutionary laws of the universe.

    GOVERNMENT – Governments Produce Commons
    The ideal Government under rule of law is what we call a constitution, a professional judiciary, a constitutional monarchy where the monarch serves as Judge of last resort (like Elizabeth III ), a professional cabinet, with houses for each of the classes, with the middle-house, providing the prime minister to the cabinet, where the houses assent or dissent requests by the cabinet. And if possible where votes are either by the random selection of ‘jurors’, or directly by citizens.

    ECONOMY – Economies Produce Consumption
    Rule of law, the government under rule of law, will produce markets of reciprocity. This is not capitalism in the sense of ‘free markets’ but capitalism in the sense that there are greater constraints on the externalization of costs to the people, commons, and state.

    As such the ideal economy under that rule of law, and ideal government, is as always a mixed economy, with the state treasury as a lender, the cabinet as venture capitalists, the private sector as short term venture capitalists using private sector funds, and the proceeds of profits returned to the treasury. Demographic distributions require liberty (rule of law capitalism for the exceptional), freedom (insured against risk for the average), serfdom (state-run-employment for the below-average), indentured slavery (military service, public service), ostracization( for the undesirable), imprisonment (for criminals), and capital punishment for the unrecoverable.

    THE COST
    The costs of this ideal order are high and all of us seek to escape paying those costs but we all want the benefit of having paid them (or others paying them). This is why it is so hard for people to integrate into or copy western civilization: it is counter-intuitive to pay the high cost of a militia, rule of law, constitutional government, market economies, and the continuous sense of insecurity that only ethnocentric communities of continuous support and charity and provide.

    THE DIRTY SECRET
    The dirty secret is that no other people other than east Asians and pre-war Europeans were willing to constrain the reproduction of the population to those who could meritocraticaly produce income sufficient to purchase or rent a household, and the means of production, necessary to produce generations by self-sufficiency. This ‘soft eugenics’ is the reason for eastern and western success as well as ‘everyone else’s failure’. The fundamental problem of social orders is overcoming the natural human tendency for regression to the mean causing dysgenic reproduction incapable of producing self-sufficiency and surpluses that can be devoted to the production of commons.

    Eugenics are as necessary as air.
    Life without air will kill you faster.
    Civilizations without eugenics just die slowly.

  • THE ECONOMICS OF WHITENESS “Whiteness is just a technology; you can use it or no

    THE ECONOMICS OF WHITENESS

    “Whiteness is just a technology; you can use it or not.”

    – Curt Doolittle

    Thoughts

    by James Krieger

    Whiteness (Europeanism) is a technology, yes, just as damns are technology. However, adoption & maintenance costs vary across human subspecies, & since the gains are incurred largely as a function of time, there is very little incentive for certain subspecies to adopt Europeanism – particularly subspecies known for hyperbolic discounting.

    Europeanism as technology does have the advantage of framing failure as a product of choice—‘the technology is there why don’t you use it?’

    However, I think europeanism is more appropriately framed as an extended phenotype, just as damns are the product of beaver’s genetic information. It shifts the moral conversation from specifying & allocating blame for the failure to one of unapologetic commitment to ourselves & our mission:

    “We have no other choice than to be excellent. You are either coming along, contributing & carrying your own weight, or we will forcibly separate to remove the civilizational, institutional, economic, demographic drag.”

    As such:

    By @[100002194619079:2048:Joel Landoe]

    “The apparent privileges allegedly enjoyed by only one ethnicity (per social cartels, media etc) – Europeans – are due to an inequality of institutions, traditions, norms, paradigms, knowledge, values, resources, and goals [technology] that when applied in combination can be used by any person regardless of age, race, gender, or status for maximum self-actualization and development of good society.”

    Scientifically:

    By Curt Doolittle

    Only Europeans, and specifically male, conservative, and libertarian Europeans, paid the high cost, and counterintuitive cost, of discovering, adapting to, and applying the physical(material), biological (evolutionary), social (cooperative), laws of the universe, in thought, word, and deed, across the spectrum: personally, socially, economically, politically, militarily, and strategically (expansion, colonization, conquest).

    As such whiteness is a technology. It is a costly technology. It is paid for like all technologies. And the results are acquired at high cost no others are willing to pay.

    Evidentiary, warranted, warrantable Truth, reciprocity in display word and deed, competition in the service of others for survival by market adversity, meritocratic outcome in markets for association, cooperation, reproduction, production, common, polities, and most of all eugenic constraint on reproduction by test of meritocratic outcome – all of which are performed regardless of cost – are costs only Europeans evolved to bear.

    And even such only possible in the lesser classes by training in Christian exhaustive payment of psychological costs as virtuous contribution to the commons, and worthy of status even without intellectual, economic, political, and military success.

    As such only European lower classes were slowly reduced in number, and reduced in cost, providing the counterintuitive excellence of western civilization: our Christian underclass, laboring classes, working classes, and lower-middle classes do the world’s least harm, while middle and upper classes do the world’s most good.

    The counter-intuitive explanation for the three great ages of European success vs all other competing civilizations is that Europeans deviate the least from the laws of the universe and pay high costs for doing so but achieve the extraordinary returns for those investments.

    So Europeans are not privileged. We merely pay the extraordinary costs that others do not. Ergo others who come and don’t are thieves.Updated Sep 4, 2020, 10:32 AM
