Friend says –“I have to stop reading your posts because the vocabulary is framing my thoughts, and I prefer aesthetic framing.”– There is a great deal to learn from that statement. 1 – Frames (grammars) of constant relations affect your thinking. 2 – All of us are more or less sensitive…

RICHARD SPENCER’S “AUTISTIC ARGUMENTS” CRITICISM (from Eric Best) —“The “autistic arguments” label comes I think from frustration with people who can’t stop themselves from getting sidetracked into unproductive debates that miss the point. It isn’t that there is no place for it, but that it often invades everywhere else and leads nowhere, and it’s…

childish, cartoonish, intellectually insulting, and a progressive postmodern political drivel is revolting. keep the captain. lose the rest. https://www.quora.com/What-is-your-review-of-Star-Trek-Discovery-episode-1-12-Vaulting-Ambition

THESE ANSWERS ARE NOT QUITE RIGHT. LET’S SEE IF WE CAN IMPROVE THEM: We use IQ for two different measures, WITHIN a population, and ACROSS populations. The best measure that I know of is to use what we today call 105, which represents approximately the IQ where an individual can repair a machine, or learn…

Taking your shoes off in an american home would have been very rude not long ago. https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-examples-of-etiquette-that-does-not-translate-to-other-cultures-very-well

I dunno really, but they have 2% of IQ on us. (The best Germans – the Lombards – invaded italy, they weren’t stupid. They have really big heads. ) No. Seriously. https://www.quora.com/What-do-Italians-think-of-Americans

It’s happening isn’t it? What’s the difference between war, religious conversion, and immigration? THERE ISN’T ANY. https://www.quora.com/What-would-happen-if-there-was-an-American-Revolution-where-Illegal-Immigrants-overthrew-the-American-government

We have only one problem in this world: overpopulation by the underclasses. https://www.quora.com/Is-racism-the-biggest-problem-in-the-world-nowadays

—-”Who is your favorite economist and why?”—-You know, I have spent the better part of 25 years trying to understand what is wrong with Economics, and I think I have done so. And from that understanding, I would say certainly the most IMPORTANT economist was Hayek, principally because he understood the central problem of economics…

Most of us are anglophiles. https://www.quora.com/Do-Americans-think-British-people-hate-them

Any technology indistinguishable from magic will appear as magic. Any life form indistinguishable from a god, will appear as a god. As far as I know we are among the first possible life forms in this particular universe. And neither god nor magic exists except as appearance. And if we ever encounter magic or god…

I know this is how I’m going to die if I am not very careful, since asthma leads to copd, and such. I hope I go in a revolution instead. I was in the UK in the mid 90’s when people died from the flu there. I lost almost 30 lbs. Terrible stuff. …

I don’t really know anyone who writes philosophy outside of science and logic that is anything but moral fictionalist. There are scientists, and logicians, and fictionalists. We have moral fiction, religious fiction, science fiction, we and fiction proper, as well as pseudoscience, pseudo religion, and pseudo-philosophy(pseudo-rationalism). We all daydream in our favorite method of daydreaming.…

Including: – The “Adjective-Profession-Name” Formula. – The Disagreeables, – And The “No-Living-Heroes” Theory. 1) Consider these adjectives: Embattled Controversial Divisive Reclusive Provocative Struggling Right-Wing Eccentric Self-styled Far-Left Recovering Disgraced Self-Promoting Free-thinking Volatile etc. 2) These adjectives are really reserved terms and the ‘tells’ of mainstream media letting you…

Programming. Football on mute. Steak and Egg Brunch. A bottle of San Pellegrino. Coffee.

–“CURT: WHY DO LIBERTARIANS EAT EACH OTHER?”— Very smart question. 1) Men seek status internally and externally by demonstration of superiority in competitions. So geeks fight verbal battles, from positions of relative safety, in an arena where there are enough of them that such competitions are possible (it’s hard to find other smart…

—“Then, as a libertarian, I have a Question for you – where does someone such as myself actually fit in order to help affect the most positive change(s) ???”— We are small in number. We always will be small in number. The world is built for the median. The world MUST be built for…

—-”Why do Americans love to sue each other?”—- TWO REASONS, 1-COMMERCIAL, and 2-CIVIL 1 – COMMERCIAL. Europeans and most of the world REGULATE ability to engage in agreements. Americans RESOLVE conflicts in court instead. This is why there is such a big difference between american and european innovation at all but the macro…

My response would be the same scientific response that the entire empirical establishment settled by the 1960’s. 1. The organization of economic calculation necessary for complex multi-part networks of production is impossible without money and prices. Imputations cannot be made. However, assuming a people desired a minimum autarkic (insulated from external trade) static economy…

—”Why do Israelis seem to be more socially liberal than Americans?”— All civilizations make use of some reproductive strategy in competition with others. In the literature this is called group evolutionary strategy. Humans are capable only of some spectrum of male to female. Jewish civilization makes use of the female reproductive strategy at…

—”Q: Why is innovation worshipped in modern societies around the world?”— Because it provides: (a) marginally different market goods, and markets require either marginally different market goods to decrease prices or on the down side to encourage continuous spending cycles on the up side. (b) marginally different goods provide a people…

It’s very simple. Temporal Law = Government. Wisdom Literature = Religion.

Conservative means empirical, markets, hierarchical via meritocracy, rule of law of reciprocity vs discretion, and the intergenerational nuclear family as the object of policy. Conservatives accumulate capital – particularly genetic and normative. Progressives the opposite – the consume all available capital. That these differences reflect male and female reproductive strategies is…

The american people overwhelmingly did not want Obamacare. They did that anyway. The two americas do war through the single monopoly that we call the federal government. The value of a united states federal monopoly has ended. https://www.quora.com/Do-the-republican-congressmen-really-want-to-spend-18-B-for-a-wall-Why-dont-they-put-it-up-for-a-vote-and-please-the-Trump-voter-base
