Curt Doolittle’s answer: There are some questions that you should not ask because they produce answers you will not like. It is my job to answer uncomfortable questions so I’ll give you the respect of the correct answer, if you’ll respect that it might be unpleasant. Persians divided from common…
I’m Going To Criticize Then Compliment The ACLU
I’m going to criticize then compliment the ACLU. **CRITICISM – THE SINGULAR IMPORTANCE OF NATURAL LAW (RECIPROCITY)** Unfortunately while the ACLU has defended those who need defending, they have also been instrumental in pursuing a set of cases with the objective of using the courts to circumvent the process by which our constitution was…

In other words you just don’t like what I said but have nothing intelligent to say? Do you know what solipsism, neuroticism, and psychosis, mean? Look into gender differences in brain structure and the big five’s corresponding ten factors. You can get endocrine therapy for it. (lolz)
I Am Not An Atheist, I Just Have No Tolerance For Lies, Particularly Lies By Suggestion And Obscurantism That Produce Ignorance&
1) i am not an atheist. I just have a scientific understanding of the gods. 2) Tracing the history of deception using the technique we call suggestion and obscurantism today, or Abrahamism (Pilpul) begins with scriptural religion which he started. 3) Zoroaster invented evil, as a means of dividing and ruling the…

—“The idea of fixed national borders came from the treaty of Westphalia. That was the birth of the modern nation state, like it or not. Previously, all of human history is a story of territorial conflict going back in evolution millions of years to monkeys fighting over bananas and such.”—Eric Pierce
. . .
—“Why do so many high IQ people amount to nothing?”– Because conscientiousness and ambition are equally important legs on the step stool to accomplishment. It is not actually enjoyable being exceptionally smart after grade school. Exercising that intelligence in the marketplace (world) produces competition that results in interpersonal frictions. The joy in…
Prose And The Difference Between
There is a vast difference between people who speak in poetic, mythic, literary, and analogical verse in order to communicate to the unwashed a truth inaccessible to them by operational description – and those people who speak in poetic, mythic, literary and analogical verse because they do not know of the truth of what they…
—“We Can’t Measure IQ Above…”—
—“WE CAN’T MEASURE IQ ABOVE…”— While a grain of truth, that’s not quite right. We can use 160 as a test measure, or 160 on distribution (S.D.). We tend to conflate them. Like testing any of the arts, testing intelligence can be accomplished through triangulation to produce ordinality whenever cardinality fails.…
–“Why Are Smart People So Quiet”–
–“WHY ARE SMART PEOPLE SO QUIET”– **I’ll give you a much better answer.** To begin with we do not rely on others for our understanding, only information that we do not yet know. That said, here is why we are quiet: 1) You learn fairly quickly that you cannot help people to…
Russia And America
(a) the USA (state dept) was profoundly stupid not to bring a weak russia into nato at any cost thereby uniting german technology and russian resources. That is one of the greatest policy errores in history ( which the USA seems to stumble into regularly.) (b) Putin’s only error (as a resident of Kiev…
Philosophy For Grown Ups
1. The only truths we know for certain are falsehoods. Everything that is not false is a truth candidate. This is the inverse of the fallacy of justificationism and the central insight of the sciences: the means by which we invent or grasp an idea contribute nothing to whether or not it is true or…

—“An IQ of 16000 seems absurd”— Well the way it’s calculated is the only way it can be calculated. I think (as Chomsky and others have suggested) that (and I have some experience testing it) that our definition of intelligence (model + forecast) today would differ from that definition of intelligence just…
Fellow Russophiles
Consider following this guy. Smart.

Igor Markov’s answer: Russia wants the US to give it free reign in what Russia considers its sphere of influence — ex-USSR countries, plus Serbia, plus Syria, plus Libya, Cuba, Venezuela, etc. Russia also wants to expand its influence in Europe, suppress competition in several energy markets (nat….
Constitutional Revolution
Look: Truth, Formal Logic, Formal Language, and Law are Via-Negativas, and are not going to be as popular or as accessible as story, parable, analogy, and essay.Natural Law, Programming, and Math are not accessible.I’m never going to be popular for my formal work.Not my audience. If you understand my work it’s that I’m advocating…
No You Cannot Trust Your Thoughts.
—“Q: If you have an IQ lower than 130, can you trust your own thoughts?”— Hmmm…. Interesting question. Can you trust your own thoughts? Does intelligence mean you can trust your own thoughts? I have an answer for you that you’ll find insightful. Intelligence generally translates to time required to learn –…
How Russians Misunderstand American Civilization
Dima, You (as most Russians) misunderstand the constitution, because Russians (somewhat like Germans) run their civilization by religion, philosophy and literature, and anglos run and always have run their society by rule of law of reciprocity. Hence anglo fascination with empiricism, french with pseudo-moral literature, germans with rationalism (philosophy), and Russians…
Conspiracies In Our Genes
Women gossip to undermine alphas – and hen peck each other in corporations to the point where they are mutually self destructive. Do they conspire by intent, common interest, or genetic disposition? There are only three possible means of human coercion: violence, remuneration(payment), and undermining (gossip). ie: Established males, ascendent males, and females. We…
Libertarian Pretense Of Paying The High Cost Of Order
—“libertarians aren’t against violence…”— Empty words, because they are untestable words. Which is why libertarian words are, like religion, a comforting deception. 1. The question is not whether one is against aggression, but which cases of aggression. 2. The question is not whether one is against violence buth which cases of violence. …
Cultural Specialization Requires National Specialization
To Jonathan Haidt via twitter: 1) Question. Wealth has allowed us to explore our individual differences, pursue individual preferences, and all but eliminate the dependence upon family. So why is it not deterministic that we will develop demand for separate states to further ends that we can now afford? 2) So, why isn’t…

Why Is It That Iranian Americans Make More Than Double Income Per Capita Than Iraqi Americans?
There are some questions that you should not ask because they produce answers you will not like. It is my job to answer uncomfortable questions so I’ll give you the respect of the correct answer, if you’ll respect that it might be unpleasant. We were horrified by the Galilean Revolution but we adapted to it…
Which U.s. Allies Would Back Up Their “support” With Actual Troops If America Was Attacked?
There are people with more understanding of field capacity than I have, but as far as I know the only people (a) reading and willing, (b) able to contribute whatsoever, are the British. Unfortunately the british vision of training is going home for dinner at 5:00pm (which our soldiers complain about endlessly.) The French undermine…
Are There Any Benefits To Being White In American Society?
There are worldwide benefits to being white, for the simple reason that we are less suspect of malfeasance because in reality other than the japanese we are statistically less likely to engage in malfeasance. This has largely to do with the fact that we have self-domesticated ourselves over 4000 years if not 20000 years, by…
