  • I”m Doing What I Said I Would Do – Albeit Slowly

    Jan 26, 2020, 3:17 PM

    —“What is your Response to people now 24 who said they knew about you since they were 12 but you accomplished nothing? (not my opinion) What is your response to the same nihilists who say the Virginia rally accomplished nothing and the grassroots rights will sit around as their country gets overtaken by the left as their rally was meaningless?”—

    Well, let’s see. I started a site in 09. I went public in 12-13. Eli is the only person I know of that’s been with me that long. Hmm… So it’s possible I guess. What does accomplished nothing mean? What was I supposed to have accomplished? I set out to produce a value neutral language of ethics and politics; then to express the history of my people in those terms; then to create a constitution of natural law; and I promised a set of deliverables: (a) a moral license (b) a set of demands, (c) a plan of transition, and (d) a means of insurrection. And I said I would only take a leadership role if other leadership didnt emerge. I’m either doing or have done all those things. Just over a year ago we started the institute on one hand, and john’s videos on revolution on the other. We have about a dozen people capable of using or building upon P. if we double that we’ll have the number I was shooting for, and if we get to 100 we’ll have certainly achieved our goals. Conversely, what has anyone else done except bring us the catastrophe of c’ville, get deplatformed, and learned the painful lesson I warned them about in ’16 when they went down the identitarian message, rather than revolution and rights messages? Where are all those people now? Their toast. What did Hoppe or Rothbard or the Mises institute or CATO do? Absolutely nothing. What about the Conservatives? Nothing. Why? Thy had the wrong f—king answer. There is only one solution and that is war. And there is only one way of avoiding war, and that is to make the horror of it so certain that the other side prefers to separate rather than lose two thirds of its numbers. Y’all want to move mountains on impulse. You’re filled with rage and fear. You’re first movers like me. But you are not strategic planners like me. I am an engineer. I’m doing what I said. And the Overton window is moving at exactly the rate I predicted it would. We will get our revolution when there is the least resistance from our own. And that will be shortly. Go read about the IRA and about Mao, and then study what ISIS did to fund itself. I think shit thru. That’s why I take time. And if other leadership emerges that’s fine with me. Someone just has to do it. I don’t need it. I can be happy with one woman, a computer, a sports car, and a few friends. The only reason I do this is because I love my people, it needs doing, and everyone else is doing it even worse than I am.

  • Cancer Is Successful Too. Let’s Judge Success by The Creation of Capital.

    Jan 29, 2020, 10:58 AM

    —“Hard to say the Islam isn’t successful. It’s been around a long time and is constantly expanding. Do I want their version of success? No but I can’t deny their system works.”— Greg Hamilton

    By that measure cancer is successful. Same thing. Islam and cancer. Capital creation or destruction? Islam is the single greatest destroyer of genetic, human, civilizational, cultural, informational, intellectual, scientific, technological, artistic capital in human history. And is second only to the great plague in producing dead. Judaism > Christianity > Islam: if there is a devil, the abrahamic religion and the abrahamic method of false promise baiting into hazard is certainly his creed. Abrahamic Judaism in jewish, christian, islamic, or marxist, postmodernist, feminist, denialist form is the greatest calamity in human history. It’s thousands of times worse than the British Opium trade, or the jewish selling of alcohol and prostitution on credit to eastern europeans, or the jewish usury of 300% on agrarian credit. Or the spread of Syphilis from the new world to the old, or the spread of disease from the old world to the new. Or the spread of black plague from Asia to Europe. There is no comparison to the cancer of judaism, christianity, and islam – even if christianity was miraculously domesticated by the europeans into compatibility with our traditional natural law. Judaism to undermine, Christianity to pacify, and islam to conquer.

  • Slavery

    Slavery was made uneconomical by the industrial revolution. That’s why the brits were first – because they started the industrial revolution. American abolition was partly christian, partly feminists wanting to use africans as the first step to the female vote, and partly if not mostly, so that the south (that paid the taxes that paid for the government), would not control the rest of the continent leaving the northeast an industrial power ruled by an agrarian south. … So never attribute to moral conviction that which is merely an expression of economic self interest. People never advocate for paying higher cost.

    —“Most people do not know that the south paid 3/4 of all government taxes through excise fees and only received about one quarter back in government benefits.”–Walter Wojton —“Worth mentioning the abolitionists with foresight that argued the slave trade was a demographic time bomb”–Chris Jones —“As I understand it, most working class Americans opposed slavery for the same reasons they oppose immigration today: it undercut American wages and was really only of benefit to and pushed hard by the plantation owning elite who wanted the cheaper labor…just like today.”–Scott Strong —“Our current immigration crisis it’s just another form of slavery through using low-value workers to bolster profits.”—Robert Danis

    —“Curt, we should do this…”—

    OK. How would we do that? What would we not do in order to do that instead? Who will do it and be responsible for doing it? I’m willing to do it if you can make it happen. Teaching moment. I save up those ideas and sort of auction them off during the next strategy session. πŸ˜‰ People make sh-t happen if they commit to it in public.

  • Why Does It Appear that The Relationship Between Intelligence and Income Disappearing

    WHY DOES IT APPEAR THAT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INTELLIGENCE AND INCOME DISAPPEARING

    —“Great study, but very puzzling that intelligence does not predict income in this study. Too young age at follow-up? Intelligence income relationship is confounded by age (at younger ages, lower intelligence people make more money). https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/wps.20763”—Emil O W Kirkegaard @KirkegaardEmil

    (Short version: college eduction is no longer a proxy for intelligence). We have a set of problems in making that assessment.

    (a) between women and underclass preference for pseudoscience, the use of degrees as proxy for intelligence has been eliminated.

    (b) IQ doesn’t determine wealth: conscientiousness does.

    (c) IQ determines complexity of work.

    (d) BUT IQ also determines rate of adaptation, abstractions, error (and FRAUD) detection. So while we can make wealth anywhere on the spectrum there’s an increasing premium on learning, error detection, and abstraction (engineering, tech, law, finance, science, mathematics).

    (e) the net (uncomfortable truth) is that, confirming tradition, there is a premium on ethics and discipline at the bottom and middle with increasing incentive for ‘cheating’ hidden in complexity at the top (finance, economics, politics), with the middle holding moral high ground. (Which is why I specialize in expansion of the law to reverse the innovations in free riding, cheating, fraud, parasitism, and predation made possible by the expansion of complexity during the 20th century. Particularly using math, econ, and academic pseudosciences. πŸ˜‰ )
