    September 12th, 2018 8:55 AM [K]evin MacDonald’s position is (I think) that our vulnerability is genetic, and while I think that’s probably partly true, because it’s back in the record forever, and the reason is we were all kin. But my position is that as in all OUR liberal (commercial) orders, the value of profit…

    September 12th, 2018 8:51 AM [A]nd yes, when cooperating, deception as a means of externalizing risk or obtaining discounts is the OPTIMUM strategy as long as you don’t run out of possible cooperators (cities). This is why constant suppression and homogeneity and reputations matter: so you quickly exhaust your market for deception. The problem for…

  • Notes: Jordan Peterson and Jonathan Haidt

    (notes) 1) You (and jonathan) are correct that the internet has had the suggested effect, but incorrect that it has created a false impression. Instead, we all have a much more HONEST and UNFILTERED view of each group’s narrative and ambitions when absent curation by filters. The fact that you’re discounting this is rather odd,…

  • Ancestors Worthy of Worship.

    We worship our ancestors because we have ancestors worthy of worship. Alexander began as a real person. Aristotle began as a real person. Charlemagne began as a real person. Sigurd began as a real person. Arthur began as a real person. Washington began as a real person. We have hundreds more like them. AFAIK, There…

  • Revolution: EU Infrastructure vs USA

    Europe is only different in that the population density of Netherlands (505) UK (271), DEU (236), FRA(122), is just far higher than the USA (35), meaning that it is almost impossible to concentrate forces on the american population, and relatively easy for revolutionaries to concentrate attacks on american infrastructure.(edited) The change (and panic) that will…

  • Hitler and The Socialist Dream

    (We knew this but the mainstream didn’t.) He declared that ‘national socialism was based on Marx’ Socialists have always disowned him. But a new book insists that he was, at heart, a left-winger —“It is now clear beyond all reasonable doubt that Hitler and his associates believed they were socialists, and that others, including democratic…

  • Oxytocin and Ethnocentrism

    Ethnocentrism is not only the MOST optimal strategy—it is the one for which we are genetically programmed. It is Nature’s way. And we need to follow natural law.

  • The Inconceivability of Our Differences

    It is inconceivable to a conservative or libertarian how much time a liberal spends thinking about equality – the same as a female spends thinking about her status – a fear of being left behind. It is equally inconceivable to a liberal, how little conservatives or libertarians think about equality – only the actions they…

    These disciplines provide opportunity for creative mines to continuously produce the sense of novelty at zero economic cost. The important idea here is ‘zero cost’. Math, Poetry, and Philosophy, and even perhaps the three act narrative, prevent the pseudoscientific, pseudo-rational, and pseudoscientific, if they are taught as measurement (math), experience (poetry) law (philosophy), and play…

    —“Asian students showed a greater risk of suicidal behavior, yet lower rates of mental health diagnoses compared to white students.

  • Nietzsche, Rand, Evola Properly Positioned

    by Emanuel Venator (solid gold) Nietzsche, Rand, Evola, etc. are useful because they show that it is possible for rightists to tell an alternate story about the world and, in doing so, give permission to think differently. However, they are limited in that they speak in the language of stories rather than falsifiability and therefore…

Good thinking and good writing. But, you should study economics, law, political history, and war rather than whatever it is you are studying at the moment (software? computer games?), so that your framing, which is ‘ideal’ can be described in existential (real, operational) terms. If you did, you…
