    AMERICAN POLICY IS NOT MORALLY GOOD – JUST PRAGMATIC PURSUIT OF MARKET PROSPERITY

    Let me put something into perspective. America advocates markets and meritocracy and fixed borders. This sounds very ‘moral’ but it is just profitable for an advanced country to advocate meritocracy. For the same reason it is sensible for a less advanced country to advocate authoritarianism.

    We all pursue self intersets. It is just that sometimes, self interest is in everyone’s interest. And America’s self interest is most often in everyone’s interest.

    It’s not because americans are good or smart.

    it’s because it is more profitable.

    The problem is that it’s also a graph of the exploitation of fossil fuels. It’s not clear that the entire gain isn’t from accounting, rule of law, capitalism, and the exploitation of fossil fuels. Not to counter your point but to caution against extrapolating it.

    THE ACADEMY LIKE HOLLYWOOD PRODUCES WORSE WORK PRODUCTS THAN INDIVIDUAL CRAFTSMAN IN EITHER INDUSTRY

    Um. helps to keep in mind that the academy provides funding for thought and obviously subsidizes bad thought. Whereas thought leadership in history did not come from the academy but from wealth sufficient for literacy and time for study. In other words, it is not clear that the academy produces better intellectual work products than individual craftsmen, any more than Hollywood produces better art products than individual craftsmen. And the evidence appears overwhelmingly the opposite: that the academy, entertainment industry, media, and democratic state, produce higher volumes of bad quality everything.

    THE FIXED, EQUILIBRIAL, AND UNLIMITED PIES 😉

    The left see a fixed pie when convenient and an endless pie when convenient, but they never seem to notice that it is demand for reciprocity and the division of perception, cognition, knowledge, and advocacy along short, medium, and long term time horizons that continuously produces an ever expanding pie.

  • Choice. So Choose.

    We can either put kids to work earlier, and have elderly work later, and thereby follow the Japanese, or we can turn into South America, the Middle East, and India. Or rather, reverse our conversion into South American, the Middle East, and India.

  • Sorry but We Are a Profitable Polity on Our Own.

    Our invaders are dead weight. The people of the middle east like dead weight. The people of south America like dead weight The people of central Asia like dead weight The people of India like dead weight. The future belongs to the most homogenous polities with the smallest underclasses for the simple reason that demand for services outstrips comparative advantage in productivity. Ergo, via-negativa, the future belongs once again to the best gene pool, because that pool has the lowest drag. And our current condition nothing but malthusian expansion to the point of consuming all the gains from the harvesting of petrochemicals.
