    THE REASON FOR “PROGRESSIVE” CLASS INCREASES The lifting of the laboring and underclasses from subsistence to consumption was made possible by the increases in relative productivity. In other words, we are simply wealthy enough that we can afford (for a time) to reverse four thousand years of the domestication of human groups,…

    Oh. I like that framing: – You empty a 9mm – You double-tap/mozambique a 45. – And you fire a 10mm once. I think I’m going to stick with that one.

  • Your Warranty Of Due Diligence Is The Test Of Your Ethics

    Now, I’ll repeat here that there is a vast difference between telling a story and telling a series of stories. Just as there is a vast difference between a term, and a term from a series of terms. Just as there is a vast difference between a parable and its explanation (you’ll note that the…

    I say the same thing over and over again: the history, the novel, the myth, the parable. all of these are no more than what they pretend to be. (See Durant). I have a problem with inflation, conflation, and fictionalisms because of the externalities produced. The problem is, that the desire for…

  • . . .

    (from elsewhere) The parable, the novel, the history, the economic history of the world provide better understanding for those with the physical, emotional, and mental agency to act in accordance with the world. But many of us, perhaps all but a few of us, cannot tolerate our relationship with reality for the same…

  • Why Are People Attracted To Socialism? Infantilism.

    It is because you begin with the child’s relationship to the parent (family), not the political relationship between families, clans, tribes, and nations. 1 – The first question of rational choice is “why don’t I commit suicide”. 2 – The first question of ethics, is, and always will be, “Why don’t I…

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea4mEnsTv6Q OBSERVATIONS AND COMMENTS : The literary mind still struggles to find place in modernity. As Weber could foresee all life is increasingly reduced from intuition to calculation. Overcoming our cognitive bias: 1 – “Markets” (competition between opportunities and limits) describe the behavior of the hemispheres. 2 – We struggle…

  • Because It Is No Longer A Safe Place To Emote.

    Any attempt to censor always produce the same result.

  • . . .

    Curt Doolittle’s answer: Yes, and if I explained why it would be censored. Elite groups that can signal status will always increase in sexual market value. However, Sexual market value is mathematically measurable by the degree of pedomorphism, symmetry, and acquilinity of features. We didn’t r…

  • Is There A Truth? If So, What Is It?

    Yes. The problem is that people want utility, not truth. https://www.quora.com/Is-there-a-truth-If-so-what-is-it

  • Are Iranians The Original White People?

    No. The original white people are lost to history. Of the indo-european peoples (the caucasian expansion in eurasia), the Iranians (Persians, not Iranians) consist of a southern branch. The eastern branch was outbred into india. The greek aristocracy that migrated south is gone. The west black sea (Bulgarians) remain although are highly outbred with slavs.…

  • Are White People At The Top Of The Sexual Market Value Ladder?

    Yes, and if I explained why it would be censored. Elite groups that can signal status will always increase in sexual market value.However, Sexual market value is mathematically measurable by the degree of pedomorphism, symmetry, and acquilinity of features. We didn’t really understand this until recently. Hence the rapid expansion of caucasian features and east…

  • What Are Some Things That Some People Consider Meaningful Being In This World And Some Others Don’t, That Are Both For Mysterious Reasons?

    Well, I sort of specialize in the operational description (de mystifying) of what appears to be complex but really is quite trivial. And there is very, very, little in the human condition that I can’t describe in tediously scientific terms. However, the grammar, semantics, and knowledge necessary to do so and exercise with any degree…

  • I’m Liberal, But Also Concerned That A Lot Of Quora Questions Are Phrased To Make Conservatives Look Foolish. Is There Something Going On?

    Quora has a large contingent, (as do all online media) of groups that propagandize in the form of questions. The posts are posed as questions, but they are simply deceptive assertions (‘by suggestion’). These are, like all falsehoods, cheap to manufacture – and that is their value in poisoning the well. It is far cheaper…

    Europe is the most homogenous demographic outside of the Han chinese, koreans, and japanese. For all intents and purposes, especially above the Hajnal Line, we are all essentially related, and descended from a fairly small group of progenitors. America’s problem with race began and persists with the conquest of the agrarian south, by the…

    ( correct. and furthermore, certainly in france and germany, conformity is enforced, and even in the UK. Whereas in the states we have nearly eliminated it since the mid 60’s. I think this is a larger source of the problem.)

  • Martial Arts: Guns, Boxing, Kicking, Wrestling.

    Boxing is the single most effective means of fighting - particularly if it will ever be other than one-on-one. It is not uncommon for a boxer to take out half a dozen men in sequence. And with boxing, like firearms, you can gain dramatic returns on the first 20% of training, and it preserves movement.…

    The law(truth) is discovered in trial. The law(Truth) is written in judgements by judges from trials. The law(Truth) is enforced by the militia. There exist no via positiva laws (assertions), only prohibitions on parasitism.

    If you are going to deviate from operational language, then you must have a reason for doing so that is other than an attempt to fictionalize. So far, I can’t find any case in which the individual isn’t engaging in fictionalism or deception.

  • Russian And American Involvement In Ukraine In International And Historic Context.

    (from Ukraine Today) I have long standing connections and was (very) tangentially involved as an advocate for Ukraine, and we were BEGGING for USA involvement, and we got NONE of it until the very end. If there was USA involvement I want to see some evidence of it. I have a fairly…
