By Eric Kristof Reasons women live longer: 1) Genetics: women’s telomeres are longer than men’s. 2) Genetics: women’s XX chromosomes provide a “backup” of sorts in comparison to men’s XY chromosomes. 3) Hormones: estrogen protects women from cardiovascular disease in comparison to men. 4) Hormones: testosterone increases risk taking behaviors. Women have less of it.…

One of the cures for “IQ Shredding” is to follow the postwar german example, of limiting housing in cities to those for families. So that the benefits of low cost of commons (density) are only available to those who produce generations. This is a very simple alternative. In other words, today, large organizations can use…

Cities = Markets = Decreased Opportunity Cost. It’s the ability to communicate that decreases opportunity cost. Opportunity cost = increasing choices. The question is whether increasing choices produces increasing outcomes. For business it does. For genes it does not. This is the fundamental problem. Cities Destroy Genes in exchange for lower opportunity costs of consumption.…

—“If you are trying to a convince a woman of something, you will be better off talking to a wall. Both will not listen or take your advice but at least the wall won’t argue with you.” — Old Adage. Um. My advice is different. (a) You cannot compel women to do much of anything…

(probably an important set of ideas you need to grasp) The fact that we tax tradesmen and members of bureaucracies at the same rate is counter-progressive (regressive). If you’re going to tax progressively (effectively a sales tax on market participation), employment in or as Laborers, Tradesmen, Professionals, Small Medium Businesses, Industries, Government should be taxed…

GERMANY SAW HERSELF (RIGHTLY) AS A CIVILIZATION ENCIRCLED BY HOSTILE POWERS CONJECTURE —“The German Führer, as I have consistently maintained, is an evolutionist; he has consciously sought to make the practice of Germany conform to the theory of evolution. He has failed, not because the theory of evolution is false, but because he has made…

We take for granted our monological ethics. But while MOST groups practice CAST ethics, almost no other people practiced MONOLOGICAL ethics. The difference being that progressive restitution required (higher classes required higher restitution). But the law was the same for all. This is what we mean by “Rule of Law”: no discretion, same law for…

by Steve Pender There is nothing wrong with education – just fruitless education. And fruitful Work is also education. Fruitless education makes children costly. Whereas in past eras, they would do productive work on farms or business as early teens, now they’re learning how to do haiku and other pointless shit well into their 20s.…

—“Hitler didn’t “set out” to conquer Europe, but given the perpetually accelerating pace of the Bolshevik threat to Europe, he set out to defend Europe from Bolshevism.”– Jimmy Wood We were wrong. He was right. And the narrative has been captured by Bolshevism v2 (Democratic Socialism) and v3 (Postmodernism) to continue to destroy western civilization…

WHAT A PROPER EDUCATION SYSTEM LOOKS LIKE by Luke Weinhagen We’ve found a model that seem to be working really well. A local education organization hires teachers, subject matter experts, tutors, instructors etc… to run classes two days a week. Parents select from the available courses and build a curricula specific to their child, including…

MATCHES ALL THE RESEARCH: Kids need to participate in a hierarchy. by Greg Hamilton Socialization with adults and different aged kids (even sitting). This is critical and one big reason the scouts was important. Kids need to lead and follow and to be able to move around in the hierarchy. In standard schooling they are…

Humans have very high loss aversion on the one hand, desire attention by cheap means, and jockey for status by means of gossip. As such negative news spreads far faster that opportunity news. Seizing opportunities costs, avoiding losses and buying attention with gossip is cheap.

—“That was the whole point all the time: destroy the nuclear family, replace the father with the State.”—Tomás Rodriguez Villegas The female political instinct is to marry the state to escape the costs of male maintenance. Totally logical … IF YOU LET IT HAPPEN.

SOCIALISM: THE VILLAGE Socialism is an economy in which productive property (factories, farms, workshops) is controlled socially. This can mean direct workers’ control, or community ownership, or state control on behalf of the people. There are a great deal of socialist ideologies. Broad categories include democratic socialism, Marxism, and anarchism. COMMUNISM: THE HUNTER GATHERER BAND…

The Communist Party of Russia was comprised of two factions of people. One faction belonged to the moderates who were of the opinion to slowly bring in the social change step by step and ultimately lead the country towards a socialist state. This faction was called the Mansheviks, or “menshinstvo” (minority). However there was another…

Some idiot on Quora counter-signaling one of my posts on ethnicity, by demanding sources. You know, I don’t put sources for a lot of things because it requires a second copy-paste, and google image search or text search will always find it. (and maybe subconsciously i like to bait these assholes.) As usual, it’s a…

by Bill Joslin Under a unipolar world (US exceptionalism) satellite states, it as I call them vassal states, play an important role. Vassals are proxies for US to do what the US can’t directly. Inversely vassals play a role for secondary players for the same reason. Trump is forcing a return to a multi-variable world…

ON “MATHINESS” IN PHYSICS ‘Mathiness’ is a f–cking pseudoscientific plague. And people wonder why Hayek called the 20th century an age of mysticism, and I call it the age of pseudoscience. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathiness MATHINESS = SCIENTISM = PSEUDOSCIENCE = “LITERATURE” I think the pejorative “Scientism” refers to pseudosciences (overreach in particular), just as “Mathiness” Refers to…

—“I’ve seen people accuse Curt of denying the transcendent. But even the mystics themselves have all said the same thing: the transcendent can’t be expressed in words. The greatest mystics are silent about it. Because that which is beyond the grasp of words, should not be put into words. Do not try to testify what…

by Richard Nikoley The law is the law. It has to be that way because we can’t conceive of every possible circumstance, nor the myriad contexts in which circumstances occur. This is the whole point of a jury. The purpose of a jury is to judge the law as applied to the facts, circumstances, and…

I was in a pet shop when I noticed a girl with the most amazingly colored parrot perched on her shoulder. “Where did you get that?” I asked. “Germany. There’s fking millions of ’em!” said the parrot.

ABRAHAMISM: 1) Restatement of Myth as History 2) Projection of Traditional Wisdom as Authoritarian Law 3) Dependence upon Supernaturalism (“Magic”, “Miracle”) 4) Monopoly (exclusivity) and threat of loss for non compliance. 5) False Promise of Impossible(supernatural, natural) Reward for Compliance. 6) Use of Pilpul and Critique In Defense of the falsehoods. 7) Castes of Priests…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9ipV6oq1is I learned from this two hour conversation that I can give a three hour lecture (with two long breaks) that would cover the epistemology thoroughly enough. Great stuff here. For the hard core guys here is pretty much the complete picture. And Eric did an amazing job of grilling me. ( @ Eric Orwoll…
