The History Of Our People
Indo-European migrations were the migrations of pastoral peoples speaking the Proto-Indo-European language, who departed from the Yamnaya and related cultures in the Pontic–Caspian steppe, starting at c. 4000 BCE. They spread throughout Europe and Asia, forming new cultures with the people they met on their way, including the Corded Ware culture in Northern Europe and…

If you yourself cannot constrain yourself to operational language (strictly constructed grammar) in ordinary language, yet you treat formal grammars (mathematics: constant positional relations), and logic (constant semantic relations), and physics (constant physical state relations) as they should be; formal grammars – then you are holding a double standard. Why is it that you…

—“Truth is temporal, not absolute”— Try to say that without appealing to platonism. You wont be able to. Why? If you can’t state the means of a things existence without the verb to be, then you do not know of what you speak. Reliance on the verb to-be (is, are, was, were etc)…
What’s The Biggest Culture Shock The Us Has Ever Faced?
There have been culture shocks fairly regularly. Just since the Constitution:1 – The almost-revolutionary war where the North wanted to secede. 2 – The North-South conflict from the very beginning.3 – The Louisiana Purchase and the Civil War that resulted from the South wanting to secede (which would have meant that the new territories joined…
What Is The Average Iq Of An Nra Member?
Since republicans are smarter than democrats, and since NRA members tend to have above average incomes, it’s most certainly above average. Remember: the media prefers to use college degrees as a proxy for intelligence. However, this doesn’t account for the fact that the vast majority of women take gut courses, (psychology, sociology, education), and their…
What Would Happen To The Us Economy If (scenario 1) The Top 5% Unleashed All Their Savings Or (scenario 2) Put Away Gradually More Into Savings?
THE FULL ANSWER I think others have answered this closely but I’ll try to add some precision: *There are no such savings to be unleashed*. It’s already put to use, mostly in home and business real estate – providing home ownership that could not exist otherwise. Why? Fiat currency inflation makes it impossible to save. You…
Do You Have A Problem With Maslow’s Hierarchy Of Needs, In Psychology (or Philosophy)?
It’s ‘fanciful freudianism’ that makes sense the same way horoscopes make sense. That said it can be stated scientifically as humans, like every other organism, seek to acquire. As they accumulate near term satisfactions they increasingly seek to accumulate longer term satisfactions – for the simple reason that we constantly seeks satisfactions no matter what…
Do You Think That Postmodernism Has Had A Negative Or Positive Effect On Education, Especially In Literature Classes?
Postmodernism can be best understood in the context of a revolt against science and reason, that is a repetition of the enlightenment revolt against empiricism, and the ancient world’s revolt against reason. THE GENERATIONAL REVOLTS AGAINST SCIENCE, REASON, AND TRUTH 4 – The Revolt Against Science – Using Publishing and Major Media (19th-20th)Marxism/Freudianism/Boazianism(Pseudoscience) > Cultural…
What Is The Difference Between Civil Society And Social Movements?
CIVIL: ACTIVISTS PAY FOR COMMONS, SOCIAL: ACTIVISTS FORCE OTHERS TO PAY FOR COMMONS. Civil: Personal Choice. The Civil Society (meaning voluntary organization of commons) Activists Pay. Civil society is the “aggregate of non-governmental organizations and institutions that manifest interests and will of citizens.” Social: Political Force. The political society (meaning involuntary organization of commons by…
–“Why Doesn’t A High Iq (Alone) Mean You’re Smart?”–
–“WHY DOESN’T A HIGH IQ (ALONE) MEAN YOU’RE SMART?”– I’ll give you the correct answer. 1 – Measured Intelligence, or Intellectual Capability is equivalent to a personality trait. There is such a high correlation between openness to experience and intelligence that this idea will go mainstream in the next decade if it has…
Currently, Who Are The Best Right Wing Philosophers/thinkers? I’m A Leftist, And I Believe That It’s Important To Challenge The Beliefs You Hold, So I’m Mostly Looking For Authors/public Speakers That’ll Give Me Something Worthwhile To Engage With.
I’ll bite anytime, any place, anywhere – as long as you’re intellectually honest, and have more than trivial grasp of economics. (The problem is finding a leftist that’s intellectually honest, and has any understanding whatsoever of economics.) CONSERVATISM UNDERSTOOD 1. A conservative questions the overestimation of reason, and above all questions consensus. Conservatism is familial,…
Why Have So Many White Superstars Adopted Black Children?

Do White People Feel Superior, Inferior, Or Equal To East Asians?
Hmm. I would have to look at the literature in depth, but as a general survey, we would probably say that we feel morally superior (which is demonstrably true vs the Chinese), but that we feel equal to the Japanese and South Koreans. And in many ways we see Japanese and Koreans as socially superior.…
Why Doesn’t A High Iq Mean You’re Smart?
I’ll give you the correct answer. Intelligence: Capability(Potential) vs Smart: Demonstrated(Existential). But why can Potential and Existential differ? 1 – Measured Intelligence, or Intellectual Capability is equivalent to a personality trait. There is such a high correlation between openness to experience and intelligence that this idea will go mainstream in the next decade if it…
Every Man A Sheriff
—“Do we want to live in a society, and world, where everyone is carrying firearms?”— Like anything else, the pareto minimum is 20%. Once you reach 20%, for all intents and purposes, everyone must assume everyone is carrying.
Read. Understand. Evolve.
—“You base your premise on assuming the adversarial entities whom seek to destroy our culture, history, race and the foundational histories of mankind possess a consciousness.”— A Friend No. I make the assertion that all groups pursue their group evolutionary strategy, and that they do so within the spectrum of strategies available, largely (although…

by Stella Morabito Why doesn’t anyone investigate the toxic effects of today’s bureaucrat-run mega-schools in the wake of a school shooting? It’s high time we place a share of the blame there. Apologists for these noxious systems continue to shift blame for their failures using the media, various left-wing lobbies, and the kids…
What Are Some Unnamed Foreign Intelligence Agency? How Would A Tech Company In The United States Arrange A Meeting With Them? Why?
It doesn’t work like that. You don’t contact intelligence agencies per se. That’s the most certain means of being ignored. (Darpa is an exception.) You write technical papers. You submit articles to think tanks. You show up at intelligence related conferences and military trade shows. You hire a small PR firm to spread the information…

When Someone Uses The Term “Reductionism” They”re Admitting They Have No Argument.
WHEN SOMEONE USES THE TERM “REDUCTIONISM” THEY”RE ADMITTING THEY HAVE NO ARGUMENT. —“The notion that “ancient western man lifted mankind out of ignorance” is a biased and parochial view of philosophical history. There was and is a global network. “— You have an unscientific (and non-operational) undrestanding of history. Why is it…

—“It sounds to me like reduction-ism.”— (a friend) Well that’s not a criticism, since the entire universe operates on a (scarily) small set extremely simple rules (forces) that produce all of existence. All human behavior, likewise, is quite simple. It’s the vast set of justifications and deceits that we use to preserve our negotiating…
What Would An Economy Be Like If Everyone Saved 80% Of Their Income?
We would rapidly starve. Research “monetary velocity”. Wealth is created (meaning prices are continuously reduced) by the velocity of trade.So failing to understand this is an example of the fixed pie fallacy. If we were all made equal tomorrow, we would starve in ninety days. https://www.quora.com/What-would-an-economy-be-like-if-everyone-saved-80-of-their-income
Why Are The Iqs Of White People Higher Than Those Of Africans?
The average and mean of the distribution is higher. Whites have been practicing eugenics since at least 700ad. And warmer climates do not put pressure on the underclasses that winters do. https://www.quora.com/Why-are-the-IQs-of-white-people-higher-than-those-of-Africans

Gods as we know them were invented in reaction to (competition with) the new technology of aristocracy. The priests have always been liars. But the metalsmiths, and warriors cannot afford the luxury of faith – faith demands no skin in the game (no warranty), but truth, metalsmithing, and war, force a man to warranty his…
