At Some Point the Middle Class Seeks Profit at The Expense of The Nation
—“So in examples where civilization does effectively vet and cull the underclass, how before long the golden age, and how long before the descendants destroy what their ancestors built? Can they do it on their own or do they always import/strengthen an underclass?”—A Friend ^Exactly the problem. That’s right. At some point The middle class…
Pilpul Is as Easily Identifiable as Its Negative: Critique
—“I am somewhat curious as to why you blocked me from your timeline. …… You do come across as an intellectual, being an educated philosopher, I am just very surprised that an intellectual would have such a disdain for a fluid free flow of dialogue even if it does come from a position that might…
Why Is (was) Psychology a Pseudoscience?
—“You said Psychology is not a science. Can you explain this argument as you have done with Marxism? Thanks”—Jamie Watson PSEUDOSCIENCE (AND RELIGION – THE FEMININE) (a) based entirely upon projection – with no empirical content (meaning ‘no system of measurement’), (b) framed as authoritarian (monopoly) demand for homogeneity as its system of measurement (c)…
Can a Science of Psychology Exist?
(only if it is demarcated from therapy) —“Do you think there can be any valid or empirical discipline called “psychology”?”—-Gearóid Walsh Great Question. At present I undrestand psychology (as a science) as the study of cognitive biases and limits, in the perception and cognition of information. At present I understand it is possible to integrate…
Scientism Is Shaming Unless You Mean Positivism – I Don’t. I Do Testimonialism.
—“I may be mistaken here, but your thinking on economics, identity politics, making choices, is based on Scientism.”—Mark Goodkin Well, that’s just name calling unless we can operationalize that as a test of truth, contingency, or falsehood. As far as I know we continuously converge on increases in precision using logical and physical instrumentation (science),…
—“Why Isn”t Marxism Taught Outside of Philosophy and Literature”—
Um. BECAUSE ITS FALSE (Actually it’s pseudoscientific nonsense). In fact, it’s the subject of ridicule in economics precisely because it is false (pseudoscientific nonsense). It’s false on the premises: 1) Value is subjective and marginal, and determined at the point of sale. period. 2) Value is created by the use of incentives to produce a…
The ghastly crimes the Jews had been committing against Ukrainians under the guise of ‘Bolshevism’.
—“The Ukrainians started rounding up Jews and killing hundreds, probably thousands, of Jews by clubbing them to death in the streets really the minute the Germans entered their lands. Not because of ‘irrational hate’, but because of the ghastly crimes the Jews had been committing against them under the guise of ‘Bolshevism’. The ‘holocaust’ saga…
The So-Called Trans Atlantic Alliance
FALSE FRAMING 1: It’s not an alliance. The core state of Europe is and was Germany, and Germany(Sparta/Army) was conquered and has been a client state of Anglo civilization(Athens/Navy). USA Can no longer afford Client States without the Petrodollar to fund policing world trade. FALSE FRAMING 2: The reasons Europe can virtue signal opposition to…
The Grammar of Pseudoscience
(Sorry for interjecting on your post but it’s such a great example of psychologism versus incentives, it’s hard to let the opportunity pass.) INTERSECTIONALITY: The study of intersections between forms or systems of oppression, domination or discrimination. Or in economics (real social science, not pseudoscience) we call it the study of formal and informal institutions,…

No, Philosophy(choice) Is Subordinate to Science (truth)
Again, economics and law, defeat philosophy, religious tradition, and moral justificationism. Demonstrated vs Reported. Always and everywhere. —“Philosophy is more fundamental than economics. The notion of making choices, based on rewards and punishment, implies some form of ethics, which itself is a branch of philosophy. Economics is not a floating abstract, disconnected from ethics or…
There Is No Neutral Territory for Gods
The strong do not start from the position of equality, or of desire for cooperation, but from the presumption that either you and yours create value via a productive exchange, or one’s you and yours are better punished, enserfed, enslaved, imprisoned, or killed. We deprive enemies of boycott. Either trade productively or die. Otherwise you…
Every Woman Is Pandora, and We Are the Guardians of The Box.
Love women. Do not debate women. Never debate women over preference or good, only possible or impossible. Women cannot tolerate refutation of their emotions. This is what deprives them of agency. They cannot tolerate being at fault in the minds of others – only when they fault themselves. Women’s “Intuitions (impulses)” are almost unbearable, and…
Intelligence and Political Affiliation: Scale Causes Regression To The Mean
https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-average-intelligence-average-IQ-test-scores-any-calculated-metric-of-the-average-American-conservative/answer/Curt-Doolittle?share=54709e6f&srid=u4Qv ALL THREE OF THESE STATEMENTS ARE TRUE (And obvious.) 1) Libertarians(7%) are smarter than Liberals(25%). 2) Republicans(26%) are smarter than Democrats(29%). 3) Liberals(25%) are smarter than Conservatives(36%). Why? Increases in size of groups regresses to the mean. (Again, obvious). Smaller groups of educated people will test higher than larger groups. PROBLEMS WITH ALL SUCH…
Monogamy Is Eugenic, Not Polygamy.
—“Monogamy is eugenic, not polygamy. That seems counterintuitive, because elite men can be much more reproductively successful under polygamy. And they are, with lower quality women, because that’s the only way elite men can have several, by mating down. So low status women are reproductively more successful under polygamy and high status women relatively less…
Love Women. but Truth, Testimony and Reason Are Male Attributes: The Feminists Are Right.
(see if I can get in trouble for this one) Around 40% of women have mental illness of some sort. And from a man’s perspective as a rational human, around double that have problems with correspondence with reality, and all but a handful are limited by social cognitive biases they cannot escape. It’s true that…
Paternalism Is Love
Women mature early so that they may parent their offspring. Men continue to mature much longer so that they may parent their tribe. Love women as they love their children. But truth, reason, and group persistence are as exclusively male as childbirth is female. If women’s intuition is given license the tribe will die. If…
Natural Law on Killing
—“Punishment for killing someone does not necessarily imply they had any actual value . At the societal level the punishment is automatic.”— Edgar Braintree They are not punishing you for killing the individual, but for not getting sanction from others before doing so. In other words, they are punishing you for hubris. Getting a dozen…
Natural Law on Miscegenation
(this oughtta get me in trouble) —“Hi Curt … Regarding your post on natural law being sharia for whites … what would be the logical stance of natural law toward a nordic woman from Minnesota with a 125 IQ marrying an 85-IQ immigrant from Somalia? Would the negative externalities need to be incorporated into a…
He Solution to Kevin Mac Donald’s Question of How and Why the Culture of Critique
(important) (core) 1) Ashkenazis succeeded in reversal of gender bias in cognitive ability, while maintaining pastoral aggression. (We can easily measure this, and all data I’ve seen supports it.) 2) The result has been adoption of the female group social strategy, 3) … and the Female primate’s reproductive strategy for constraining alphas. 4) Female Humans…
Morality Is Objective and The Constitution Is Constructed from It.
1) Moral Objectivity = Reciprocity:Natural Law(of Tort) independent of individual or group opinion. 2) Moral Norms = Portfolios of rights and duties resulting in reciprocity within the group survival strategy. 3) Moral Bias = Expression of gender and class reproductive strategy. The problem is that we all want to ‘lie a bit’ and promote our…
Military Service Is Genetic
(last piece of the puzzle) —“Existing literature connects military service to regional characteristics and family traditions, creating real distinctions between those who serve and those who do not. We engage this discussion by examining military service as a function of personality. In the second portion, we examine military service as predisposed by genetics. Our findings…
More on The Economics of Neurons
by Pat Ryan Neurons don’t have a complete nucleus. Evolution has determined that letting neurons go through mitosis is a terrible idea and when you think about it, that makes sense. If I can just conjure up a huge amount of neurons to process all of the information the universe can generate, I will quickly…
Male and Female Similarities and Differences
Male and female brains differ structurally. Male and female brains differ in endocrine responses. Male and female brains differ in cognitive biases. Male and female brains vary morally because of those differences. What I think people are confused by is: – That these are only biases and we all share experiences. – That our brains…
Some Bunnies Waste My Time.
