Curt Doolittle’s answer: China is a very poor country. But it has more population than the Western world, more population than the African world, about the same or more than the Indian world, less population than the Muslim world, and perhaps most importantly, greater racial and cultural homogene…

Curt Doolittle’s answer: Because while the marxists-boazians-freudians failed by pseudoscientific (rousseauian) visions of man, and where communists failed by pseudoscientific history, and where the socialists failed by pseudoscientific economics, and where the libertarians failed by pseudoscient…

KEY PHRASE: “Society Expects….” “Society Expects” is one of the feminine cognitive biases that the left took advantage of exploiting. Like NAXALT it’s a genetically consistent proclivity that the male brain is not subject to. The division of labor under low burdens (taxation) is the only means of providing a woman with family and…

No. the metric system was a mistake. “Human Scale” measurements are superior. a thumb is an inch.A foot is a foot.A yard is an arm.A mile is a thousand paces.Fahrenheit is superior for temperature sensitivity.The only reason for the metric system was to make calculations easier. https://www.quora.com/Should-the-United-States-switch-to-the-metric-system

THat’s a contradiction in terms. Left means either parasitism or free riding. Left libertarians promote free riding on all commons. https://www.quora.com/How-many-left-libertarian-ideologies-are-there

Australians are better MANNERED than americans, by far. Largely because they have not had the problems with immigration that the USA has had during the 20th century. As for cultured, i think they’re about the same. https://www.quora.com/Are-Australians-more-or-less-cultured-than-Americans

The base that voted for him is very happy with his progress and remains solidly behind him. Sorry. “The Base” is there. https://www.quora.com/Todays-date-is-December-16-2017-How-many-people-who-voted-for-Donald-Trump-are-ready-to-admit-they-made-a-mistake

No army on earth can defeat the russians in a ground war. It is impossible. No country can defeat a stockpile of nuclear weapons. Ergo, Russia, USA, and China cannot be ‘defeated’ without suicidal consequences. Although Russians and Chinese have long records of killing off their own people – which is what concerns westerners. That…

Ask the question, which is more voluntarily reciprocal? https://www.quora.com/Between-American-Conservatism-and-American-Liberalism-which-ideology-is-more-consistently-egalitarian

Aristotle, Machiavelli, Adam Smith, John Locke, Durkheim, Pareto, Nietzche, the Federalist Papers, the US Constitution. “Albion’s Seed”. Fukuyama’s Trust and his two books on the History of political orders. https://www.quora.com/What-should-an-Indian-lawyer-study-to-get-a-job-in-the-USA

Republican (Aristocratic) ethics seek to restore the ethics of the intergenerational nuclear family as the central unit of social, economic, and political order. It is not correct to say that they don’t want to pressure social issues. They do. Because they want the families to run the world, not the government. We are all equal…

Skin color and genetic composition are two different things. The principle difference between the different races is the degree of neoteny achieved before and during the agrarian phase. It was impossible for people in warm climates to achieve circumpolar degrees of neoteny because neotenic development (extending childhood by limiting maturity) exposes the child to environmental…

Invent a germ that rapidly kills rice and wheat. (Yes, there are people who think of how to do these things.) Or the equivalent that ‘eats’ hydrocarbons (petroleum products). In both cases, all governments and all civilizations would fall rather rapidly, and population would return to agrarian levels. In particular, a germ that would kill…

Legally and morally are two different things.The law is not ethical, or moral, or good, or true. It just is.It’s questionable whether Bezos is acting morally.As far as I know, at least within reason, he is acting legally. Asking whether something is legal or not is nonsensical. Was it productive, fully informed (transparent), warrantied, voluntary,…

There is no validity to the crisis. There is a great deal of validity to the EROI. The problem is population. There are too many at the bottom. https://www.quora.com/How-valid-is-the-claim-that-were-on-the-verge-of-economic-collapse-due-to-the-vanishing-supply-of-cheap-conventional-oil-and-the-declining-energy-return-on-investment-EROI

It’s the other way around. Current pronunciation in the UK was ‘affected’ during the 1800’s, just like french was ‘feminized’ during the 16–1700?s. While the USA and Canada preserved the germanic. If you listen to reconstructed Edwardian or Elizabethan, it sounds like a mixture of Scots and American pronunciation. American whites were 50% german. We…

Demographically and economically that looks impossible. It is much more likely that the USA will decline to the same condition as we find in Brazil. Why? Demographics. It doesn’t matter how good your ‘best’ classes are, because your worst classes are far more destructive than your best classes can compensate for. (Really). The size of…

Get fit. Dress well. Learn something (read). And get better friends. People ignore you because you’re of no value to them, or because you’re a cost to them, or because you can’t keep up with them, or because you don’t share common interests. BE VALUABLE. https://www.quora.com/Lately-my-friends-have-been-avoiding-me-and-it-makes-me-really-sad-What-should-I-do

Itâ??s not possible becasue the two goals are incompatible. The answer is to reverse the mistake of the civil war, and separate the â??coastsâ?? from the â??coreâ??. https://www.quora.com/How-can-Americans-finally-bridge-the-political-â??culture-warâ??-between-conservatives-and-liberal-leaning-ideals

I’ve looked into this, and the answer is the same for any developing country: if you can produce a judiciary, police force, and military that will enforce property rights, moral (reciprocal) contracts, and where bureaucrats are open to suit by anyone for corruption, then eventually you will prosper. Nigeria and Ghana at the very least…

I think russia has more apologizing to do than any other existing country, so lets not get into this kind of thing. Either you are advancing one another’s economic interests in the present or you are not. There is nothing else to be discussed. Blame your family and friends. Grownups conduct trades in a market.…

We all act in our interests at all times, given the balance between costs and benefits. There are many costs and benefits. Physical, emotional, intellectual, social, political, legal, material. We are exceptionally good at calculating those benefits and making use of them. https://www.quora.com/What-do-you-think-about-people-who-withhold-information-to-get-ahead

The choices aren’t that great really. HIGH: Brunch at Newcastle (Restaurant at the golf club) Best by far. MIDDLE: Brown Bag Cafe (redmond. I don’t know if they still have that little house downtown, but that’s the ‘old redmond’ experience. LOW: Chase’s Pancake Corral (bottom of bellevue way) I suppose I qualify as “Old Bellevue”…
