Jan 8, 2020, 6:10 AM —“The flaw is male hierarchies are infinitely scalable. Female hierarchies are not scalable; they degenerate and collapse as their social control systems weaken in groups past dunbar’s number. Sucessful grandmothers would’ve held the balance of power in tribal life. This control was then passed to churches, allowing for larger populations…

Jan 8, 2020, 6:24 AM Every group has a competitive (evolutionary) strategy at its formation. We develop narratives (excuses) and rules to persist that strategy, while maintaining some form of reciprocity. Once entrenched these are almost impossible to change. There are a limited number of properties to these strategies. I haven’t disambiguated them yet, but…

Jan 8, 2020, 8:04 AM —“The dissident right wing is split on Aristotle and Plato. You being an Aristotelian and someone like Richard Spencer being a Platonist. Save the West with science and law for the Aristotelian vs Save the West with justification and idealism for the Platonist.”—Clown Baby @ClownBa73413423 Correct. Aristotelian < Platonist <…

Jan 9, 2020, 11:43 AM —“I think that this new generation needs to see the 1976 film “Network” – especially the boardroom scene. At least it will expand thought processes. There are no countries – only business holdings.”—JWarren Prescott

Jan 9, 2020, 3:52 PM Hydrocarbons are from dead organic material – and you need an astonishing set of circumstances to make oil out of these things and preserve them. First, you’ve got to concentrate them somewhere where they’re not dispersed or oxidized – which means in swamps, marshes, lakes or something like that. (See…

Jan 9, 2020, 3:53 PM UPDATE: Video of missile striking plane. —“According to the U.S. official U.S. intelligence is confident that Iran painted the Ukrainian airliner with radar and fired two surface to air missiles that brought down the aircraft.”— That particular phrasing means it happened. US military intel can see any ‘painting’ of a…

Jan 9, 2020, 3:53 PM —“You lose me totally here. It’s ALL about race.”—Cortny That’s because you’re conflating two issues. There is no contradiction between ethnonationalism for all to produce optimums for all, and eugenics for all to reduce the worst for all. In other words under truth (science), under reciprocity and rule of law,…

Jan 9, 2020, 3:54 PM Why did they invent lying? And why are we susceptible to it? Abrahamic deceit is not backward. It is an advanced technology that like viruses or cancer, that takes advantage of a natural cognitive vulnerability to empathy and suggestion to bypass reason and create addiction. The vast majority of humans…

Jan 9, 2020, 3:54 PM Religion for the -80’s, Moralizing for the 90’s, Rationalization for the 100’s. Platonism for the 110’s Empiricism for the 120’s. Operationalism for the 130’s+ There is a reason for islam in the arab and indonesian worlds, and hinduism in the hindustani worlds. buddhism on se asian. christianity in the south…

Jan 9, 2020, 4:04 PM Missed this, but omfg, yes it’s that simple. I am a Stoic if: 1) I live in accordance with natural law and reason; 2) I avoid fallacy of sunk costs in everything; 3) I limit my attention to what is actionable; 4) I am never a victim of circumstances as…

Jan 9, 2020, 5:03 PM RECIPE A Heroic Narrative of Truth, Duty, Oath and Contract, Heroism, Excellence, Achievement, Mindfulness and The direction of dominance expression to the production of commons. Ethnocentrism, Nationalism, The universal military as the polity, The individual as the subject of Law and the Family as the subject of Policy Aristotelianism: Realism,…

Jan 10, 2020, 12:02 PM The problem is, that as neoteny increases so apparently does possibility mental illness, and ‘the pill’ increases possibility of mental illness – so the masculine brain (autism spectrum) is the only defense against the two sides (agency, mental illness) of neoteny (slowing and limiting rate and depth of maturity). Ties…

Jan 10, 2020, 12:57 PM by Brandon Hayes Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth; it’s 2020. Take a good look at it. Look at it again. If you don’t like it, there’s a single way to change it; accept it and modify it along the lines of natural law; reciprocity; and make something…

Jan 10, 2020, 2:48 PM Competitiveness isn’t always a good thing to wish in yourself. For those of us that are hyper competitive, the warfare – so to speak – is more enjoyable than the loot that comes from winning it. I don’t like internal conflict but I love external competition. All of us that…

Jan 10, 2020, 4:01 PM —“At the risk of getting you started 🙂 , what is your take on Integral politics, philosophy, or whatever?”—?Frank Chandler I love it that you asked the question honestly. lol. Wilber’s Integral theory, much like say, MBTI vs Big5/Moral Foundations is a pseudoscientific framework for a rather obvious empirical pattern,…

Jan 10, 2020, 4:23 PM by Scott De Warren European democracy (a rare and delicate bird) was exclusively aristocratic from ancient Hellas down to modern times. The French counter-enlightenment spread the obvious lie of human equality to justify the proletarian revolution (overthrow of demonstrated excellence in governance) through the universal franchise. When leftists conflate the…

Jan 11, 2020, 10:47 AM I’m on the aspie borderline enough that as a child it was very stressful, as an adult an extraordinary competitive advantage, and as a mature adult a superpower. And so, it is far easier to learn social graces and small talk than to learn to master subject after subject after…

Jan 11, 2020, 11:22 AM The Iranians are a Face-Before-Truth culture so they can’t do what Europeans do, which is say “We don’t know until we’ve investigated”. Instead they just denied – a Face-Before-Truth response. It’s the same reason we can’t believe anything that comes out of that part of the world – the muslim…

—“Colonial Slavery was Cultural Appropriation from Islam”–

Jan 12, 2020, 4:08 PM —“Curt Doolittle there is objective truth. Not sure the reasoning to say otherwise.”—Tim Abbott Well, that’s ’cause you’re taking advantage of a weakness in english (and most) grammar. This allows you the confidence to claim you understand something when you don’t. 1) Try to say that without the verb to-be.…

Jan 13, 2020, 3:25 AM What are you talking about? IQ is the most studied, most empirical, most accurate, and most consistent subject in psychology? The 60’s and 70’s were the scientific dark ages as the pseudoscience of marxism and sophistry of postmodernism had their largest affect on soft sciences. We combine IQ with Bi5…

Jan 13, 2020, 3:54 PM —“I wasn’t sure where to ask these questions. If it’s easier to just give me a link to read answers, then please do.  1) Who does get to vote? 2) Do we retain a representative republic? If not, what replaces it?”— A Friend To answer those questions clearly I have…

Jan 13, 2020, 4:42 PM Sorry by “Parasitism”, “Rent Seeking”, and “Free Riding” are demonstrably the universally preferable behavior (UPB). It takes a majority middle class for demand for reciprocity. Man is amoral, not moral. Morality is just advantageous because we’re superpredators – and dangerous.

Jan 13, 2020, 5:17 PM —“… government under p-constitution”— Most people talk about government rather than law and economics because they understand the triviality of decision by majority (voting). But the solution to ‘government’ isn’t government it’s law so that any government can succeed dependent upon the scale of the polity. And once we fix…
