The current conflict is occurring because the regions have matured from settled territories into genetically, culturally, economically, separate nations, each of which resists the genetic, cultural, and economic differences of the others. In other words, the federal government is a domestic empire as well as a global empire. People don’t like empires. For good reason.…

This question and all questions regarding ‘privilege’ should be banned from Quora as pseudoscientific hate-baiting. https://www.quora.com/Is-white-male-privilege-distinct-from-white-female-privilege

( PREFACE: My position is that all race questions on Quora should be banned. The reason being that false and comforting answers pass editors, and truthful but unpleasant answers do not. Therefore Quora contributes to harmful propaganda by permitting these questions. On the other hand as one of the experts on this subject, people ask…

In order to be able to respond quickly to unforeseen or unlikely circumstances, all countries with substantial militaries possess a General Staff. A General Staff is not an intelligence unit. The purpose of a General Staff is to envision scenarios, create plans for handling them, and to file them in case they might be needed.…

It’s unlikely. (Spoken as someone who has purchased a Canadian tech company)1. Canadian work ethic and 100 hour weeks at startups are incompatible.2. Employment regulations place too high a burden on small businesses.3. Shareholder requirements in Canada are too burdensome for high risk opportunities.4.

Because they’re idealistic, ignorant, impatient, seeking a means of ‘choosing’ what is right and wrong in order to gain a sense of independence. https://www.quora.com/Why-are-teens-so-influenced-by-communism-socialism-fascism-or-anarcho-capitalism

All societies consist of mixed economies. We have abandoned the experiment with socialism world wide (the central organization of the economy) and instead have settled on the federal production of commons, the mixed production of core industries, and the private production of goods, services, and information. So there exist no socialist and no capitalist economies…

Plenty of people have. This one is readable: I.Q. ranges and real-life functioning. As a general rule, IQ affects rate and therefore cost of learning, but also affects everything else like longevity, health, accidents, and income. And I find it most helpful to speak in those terms. For about every ten points in IQ we…

History is best understood in retrospect not during its making. We are definitely in an era of superstition for the past century – since the rise of all fundamentalisms in reaction to the enlightenment, and then darwin, culminating in current postmodernism. And our new ‘secular religion’ is more intolerant and demanding of falsehoods than any…

Races refer to visible differences in physical characteristics that define one as kin or non-kin, and causes us to respond according to our sensitivity to kin selection. We generally divide people in to major races (four), sub-races (at least thirty), and then into regional or tribal groups, and then into clan, groups. So the axis…

As we developed polities, economies, empires, and civilizations we cooperate in greater numbers, with greater anonymity, first across families, then tribes, then nations, and then races. People in every region, in every race, in every era act POLITICALLY as a group even if they act pragmatically when acting individually in daily life. The more possible…

I’ll try to answer this question as correctly and completely as I can. Subjectivity refers to any change in state that is reducible to a difference in state that we can experience directly with our senses and faculties if we possess necessary experience. Subjectively experienced: – yes, I like vanilla more than chocolate. (demonstrable, not…

”Propertarian” was originally used in a derogatory sense to refer to the those people for whom all questions of social decidability were reduced to questions of property. Over time this has evolved into an accurate description of the libertarians of various stripes. Today we have a branch of political theory (to which I’m one of…

THE CORRECT ANSWER While descending from two widely separated waves “generations” that moved out of Africa, Whites have succeeded in significant juvenilization. Asians have succeeded in far greater juvenilization. Asian women are the most juvenilized women on earth. To the point at which they have even gained extended lifespans by delaying the depth of and…

I’ve been there. Three times. And no. You don’t feel a sense of relief. You do however develop a distinct clarity regarding what is important to you and what not. And you want to do those things and nothing else. When you survive it, you think, very differently about the world, and have far fewer…

DEAR LURKERS AND NEWBS I’m really generous with my time. I don’t even care how stupid the question is as long as it’s framed as an honest question. If I don’t answer it one of the other guys will. But you shouldn’t be afraid of asking. Every time we answer a question, we get better…

FIRST TO GET THIS OFF THE TABLE —“I wish I could assume that you are acting in good faith”— Well I will tell you how I DO NOT act in good faith: I dont have a classroom to experiment on students. I don’t have a research budget, and I don’t have graduate students (indentured labor)…
