Did Products And Home Appliances Last More In The Soviet Union Than In The Capitalistic World?
Great posts. The decline in durability of goods, and the replacement of durability with signals goods. I’ll put it in economic terms: Markets, like Democracy, when combined with cheap consumer credit, produce ever cheaper results with ever higher signal value, until they drive out all quality and durability. This is a universal law of economics.…
Why Do People Take An Interest In ‘racism’?
Because race, subrace, tribe, and class are meaningful and successful means of identifying kin, and the vast majority of us associate with, work with, vote with, reproduce with, kin, and the outliers (15%) are at the extremes where their sexual market value is vastly lower, or vastly higher than the mean of their kin group.…
Do Japanese Have Caucasian Blood?
No, although it is somewhat interesting that the Turks were from northern china, originally, and that there are some similarities between Turkish and Japanese language. https://www.quora.com/Do-Japanese-have-caucasian-blood
Could You Outline The Differences Between Marxism And Communism?
Technically speaking, 1) communism consists of equidistribution of goods, services, and labor by purely voluntary means. Communism is achieved through socialism. 2) socialism is the stage under which the state (priests) centralizes all production, distribution, and trade (cooperation), until it is no longer necessary (heaven) and people merely consume what they need and produce what…
What’s The Purpose Of White Shaming/white Guilt?
Obtaining social, economic, and political power by means of social disruption rather than by merit in social and economic achievement. https://www.quora.com/unanswered/What-s-the-purpose-of-white-shaming-white-guilt
Trump Supporters Claimed He Was Doing A Good Job Because The Dow Was Up. Now The Dow Is Crashing. Do Trump Supporters Now Admit He Is Doing A Bad Job?
It wasn’t the dow, but ALL the economic factors that are up. ALL OF THEM. The stock market is succeptible to ‘irrational exuberance’ and ‘animal impulse’. So the market overreacts in both up and down directions as it expands and contracts. The market was overheated because speculation that the trump tax plan would have beneficial…
What Kind Of Monster Are You?
Given the opportunity I would make Stalin and Mao look like Father Christmas and Krampus. Noose, pike, guillotine, and pyre. And let the gods sort them out. 😉 https://www.quora.com/What-kind-of-monster-are-you
Isn’t It Racist And Bigoted To Call All White Conservatives Racist Bigoted Idiots?
Well, it’s certainly racist. Although it’s getting to the point where it’s so overused it’s a compliment. https://www.quora.com/Isnt-it-racist-and-bigoted-to-call-all-white-conservatives-racist-bigoted-idiots
How Long Has The United States Been Powerful Country?

What Race Were The First Humans?
Today we can determine at least three or four major races today , and about 30-some-odd minor or sub-races, and a few hundred major tribes, and a larger number of clans. It is very hard to rewind the clock, but it’s clear that waves have emerged out of africa and the levant, that the earliest…
Is It Racist To Call A Culture Food Bad?
Why don’t you just worry about whether you speak the truth or not, and ignore whether people like it or not. https://www.quora.com/Is-it-racist-to-call-a-culture-food-bad

Frederick the Great is at least as worthy of study as are Alexander, Caesar, Aurelius, Charlemagne, Bismarck and Hitler. Napoleon is only interesting for his generalship. As a frenchman he was as always, a cancer for europe. Hitler and his Generals Bismarck Frederick the Great Henry the Eighth Charlemagne Aurelius …

(read this) by Bill Joslin Ideological and religious frames reduce the intellectual cost of framing the world. Consequence (accountability) forces higher investment out of interpretive, justificationary, of explanatory frames into operational frames. The later reorder the contingencies properly, meaning utility proceeds or grounds aesthetics (a trade elevating to a craft…

by Bill Joslin Change or influence a person’s aesthetic and their valuation will shift (their ethics). And conversely, clarifying one’s valuation will shift his aesthetics. I say this because as far as I can see, what is considered by many as the downside of reason – i.e. emotion, intuition, bias, – are…
Our Kin Are Only As Old As The Enlightenment
Please think about this very seriously and try to understand what it means to be ‘european’. We are so closely related it’s actually ‘odd’ that we don’t look even more alike. Everything that comes out only serves to confirm that europe has undergone a series of genetic miracles because of our upwardly redistributive social order. …
The Us Has Very Few Listed Firms. Why?
Contrary to the author’s argument, what’s happened is that high quality investment firms have ‘stolen’ the market from pump and dump take-em-public firms. And that was exactly what they set out to do. What I really like about this article is the emphasis on (a) how the stock market and the tax system…
Postmodern Criticism From The Losers On The Hard Right
–“Existential aesthetics provide us with a means of orientation from which we may construct a system of values.”– A Young Male Can you explain that? Because “existential aesthetics” sounds like a pretense. You can say that producing high arts the combine craftsmanship, design(aesthetic representation of ‘bounty’), and reference (history or myth),…

Aesthetics is a Science of Beauty. Moral Fictionalism Is Just Secular Religion for the Weak.

Um. Lets get this clear for the sophists, ok? I use the outline of aristotelian philosophy, but as far as I know I write science. The science of testimony, cooperation, and law. The fact that I frame it as a philosophy (means of decidability in pursuit of a preference) rather than a science (means…
Just Use The Word: Infantilization
I really don’t understand why we don’t just state the obvious, that the female mind of reproductive necessity biases heavily to that which she can control: infatilism. And this is why women take such great fascination with babies, and prefer their children are born with properties that make them pliable and their ‘friends’ rather successful…
Why Do White Australians Own Australia?
Ownership always and everywhere is determined by those who possess the capacity of violence sufficient to make such determination. Adults make economic statements. Children make moral statements. Children make moral statements because they lack the knowledge and resources to make economic statements. And that is what separates adults, infantilized non-adults, and children.
On Whether Propertarianism Contains An Aesthetic
–“What’s your definition of aesthetics? I read recently that someone complained about your arguments not having an aesthetic framing. Does that mean that they want you to essentially sugarcoat the truth with a layer of fanciful words to accommodate right-brain oriented “artists” who don’t want to see the truth at face value? If that’s the…
Polls And The People Who Answer Them
Replying to @Adsthoughts @pelosimedia and 2 others Um. And what have we learned about polls over the past 18 years? And what have we learned about reported belief, vs demonstrated action? So what has been the consequence of political correctness? Divergence between statement and action. People still act…
What Would Iq Obsessed Quorans Do If Tomorrow It Was Confirmed That Iq Scores And Testing Were A Grand Hoax?
It can’t and won’t happen since we have overwhelming data, now confirmed by genetics (last year), and cognitive science, as well as empirical evidence in every field of study and in every country on earth, and in every race, subrace, tribe, class, family, and gender, that IQ is one of the “Factor” personality traits, that…
How Come White Australians Have Control Of Australia, Like White Prime Minster And White Laws? Shouldn’t Aboriginals Have Control Of It? It’s Their Land, Not The White British.
