but then it is status that drives affinity for leftism: the frustration with low social, sexual, economic, and political market value under market meritocracy. the reason marx was wrong was that the principal beneficiaries of consumer capitalism were consumers (labor). capitalism has been the great leveller of consumption. the only difference between the classes…
Peterson’s Ideas In The Context Of Intellectual History
1 – I go slumming on all sides of the debate, and fans of correspondence with any of the three dimensions of the coercive compass are equally convinced their intuitions are supported by experience, reason, and science. 2 – The fact that the current reaction to the status quo is not yet part of…

Why Are Medical School Acceptance Rates Significantly Higher For African Americans And Latinos Than For Whites And Asians With The Same Gpa/mcat Scores?
Anti-white (Male) bias, and the dominance of academic postmodern virtue signaling. Really, that’s the only reason. https://www.quora.com/Why-are-Medical-School-acceptance-rates-significantly-higher-for-African-Americans-and-Latinos-than-for-whites-and-Asians-with-the-same-GPA-MCAT-scores
Why Do You Think The West Should “rediscover” Russia?
Russians (and Putin) were restoring their influence and status in the world. Prior to 2013, Putin was the most respected politician in the world, an idol of the american right, and on the cover of magazines as a hero. The problem was, that when the Ukrainian Maidan Revolution occurred, and protests spread to St Petersburg…
If An Iq Test Was Embedded Within A Popular And Highly-addictive Video Game, Would The Players Develop The Ability To Score Extremely Well On Iq Tests?
No. All tests are renormalized regularly to compensate for adaptive effects and therefore to preserve the distribution. It is a very precise science. https://www.quora.com/If-an-IQ-test-was-embedded-within-a-popular-and-highly-addictive-video-game-would-the-players-develop-the-ability-to-score-extremely-well-on-IQ-tests

There is a vast difference between freedom to ridicule, shame, gossip, obscure, load, frame, overload, suggest, fictionalize, deceive, lie, and defraud, promote free riding, parasitism, predation – and speaking with reciprocity (morally), and truthfully.
. . .
The difference is that both those who manage to read them and those who do not attribute equal value to your opinions. Men do not give weight to the words of those lacking responsibility over their minds,emotions, and bodies. Men possess agency and mere domesticated animals don’t

If you had an argument you’d make one other than demonstrate your ignorance of intellectual history, by schoolgirl disapproval, shaming, gossip and rallying. You’re demonstrated evidence of the veracity of his arguments. Those who cannot argue the facts gossip rally and shame.

If I make statements that are consistent, correspondent, coherent, reciprocal, and fully accounted, then why must I say something NEW in order to say something TRUE? Each generation restates wisdom literature in generational prose. Hence persistence of paradigms over generations.

Worth Repeating
Anything important that can be said about economics or law, can only be said about externalities. The only way to restore libertarianism to the discipline of the natural law of reciprocity in the anglo saxon tradition, is to return commons and externalities to the discourse. !!!!Only Commons Produce Private Property!!!!
Hayek Vs Mises (Responding To Bob Murphy)
1- Mises always and everywhere only addresses commodities (cherry picking) and never addresses the rest of the capital stack which makes commodity trade possible – particularly tacit knowledge capital (all paradigms). Hayek’s Serfdom includes ALL capital. 2 – Of calculation and incentive, incentive, norms, traditions, and institutions, have been demonstrably superior to calculation in…
Pope?
Too liberal? He’s looked at the numbers and the church is and always has been a business – and he’s following the incentives: the church is only going to survive in room temperature IQ communities. Foolish because it’s not that we don’t want the church. We just want our own.
The Frequency Of Disasters
The causal relation between disasters and frequency is population density to lower the cost of infrastructure so that taxes can be directed to the bureaucracy’s payroll and pensions (really, thats the reason).

Kill All The Pseudoscientists, And Philosophers, Theologians? 😉
The philosophy of Marx, Lenin, and Mao (version two) cost >100M lives and the World wars, as well as that of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (version one) cost > 500M lives (islam), the destruction of the four great civilizations of the ancient world(islam), and a 1500 year dark age (christianity and islam). And that’s…

BTW, I do science(testimony) and law(Decidability). As far as I know, philosophy is limited to the determination of personal choice, and interpersonal good. And that is probably all that is left for philosophers to judge. Truth is now in the domain of science – as it should have been all along.

Voting as an alternative to revolution (tossing out the government of the commons) is an excellent idea, as long as (a) this does not affect the monarchy and the military, and (b) as long as it is not asymmetric among the classes. In other words, those who have greater responsibilities and those who have lesser…

The problem is you can’t take a woman seriously if she (a) does not reason seriously (b) does not respect the boundary of violence. In the past, we could use violence agianst women who broke that boundary – just as we could use it against men. Our big mistake was ending slander,…
You Do Not Debate Or Argue With Women. You Give Them What You Can And Deny Them What You Must.
I have made this argument over and over again, my difference is that I do not believe the incentive exists for women to force the change unless we counter-react against crazy-women (which is a very large percentage of women) by threat of binding ALL women. Hence my emphasis on truthful reciprocal speech.
The Parasitisms That Compete With Reciprocity
Marxism = parasitism upon private property. Libertarianism = Parasitism upon commons. NeoConservatism = Parasitism upon Genes, Traditions, and Institutions. Authoritarianism masks the underlying theft, which is why I talk not about the authority (which each sector justified) but about the thefts (which are very hard to). Same with economics. We talk about…

. . .
No, it’s a question about the difference between theology and philosophy on one hand and science, cognitive science, natural law (reciprocity), economics on the other. In other words, between that which is free of fictionalism and that which is not. The question remains, we can learn from history, biography, science, economics, or we can…
