Love Is Enough. Truth Is for Men. Possibility for Women.
Like I said. Love women. Listen to them (it’s hard to do that for any length of time I know – but all men develop the ability to filter, respond, and not try to solve all their problems). Try to make them happy as you can without going into debt. Don’t argue truth and falsehood,…
Religiosity as A Mask
You know, you don’t know this, but I do: that the principle reason people hide behind authoritarian religions is so that they don’t have to negotiate with other people on existential terms. In other words, it’s a form of isolation despite public appearances.
Wired for Gadgets
Men have a thing for ‘devices’ like women have a thing for accessories. I can’t remember the study but basically the more gears and stupid stuff a thing has the more interested a male will be in it. Some test where they brought men into rooms and let them get bored for a minute and…
Libertarians Are Wrong. War Is the Best Industry After Rule.
LIBERTARIANS ARE WRONG. WAR IS THE BEST INDUSTRY AFTER RULE. https://news.stanford.edu/2018/05/03/war-drove-18th-century-industrial-revolution-great-britain/ WAR, RULE, FINANCE … Everything else is just noise.
—“What is the central dogma of the postmodern left?”
—“What is the central dogma of the postmodern left?”—- THE POSTMODERN CANON (Really, this is the answer). (The Vision of the Anointed) 1) While never having power, never governing, never building business and industry or army, the anointed are confident that they could rule better than the law, markets, and meritocratic outcomes. 2) All that…
Differences in Intrinsic Value of Women and Men
The majority women are de facto intrinsically valuable unless behaviorally costly as individuals. the majority of men are only intrinsically valuable as a team unless behaviorally exceptional as individuals. this asymmetry explains genetic asymmetry of reproduction of the genders, and the dangers of excess men explains the development of marriage, and the disappearance of groups…
Just Love Them and Limit Their Influence to Their Domain of Competence
Love women, dont argue with them. Let them believe their feelings are sources of knowledge. they are overwhelmed by them and lack agency because of them. And cannot function if they cannot trust them. Those feelings are temporally and individually valuable. just deny their application to scale and intertemporal conditions where feelings are relevant to…
What Makes Christianity Jewish, Not European?
(very important ideas) What makes Christianity Jewish is the method of presentation (fictional history), the adaptation rather than homeric repetition (justification), the method of argument: pilpul(sophism), the demand for exclusivity (monotheism), the demand for submission(slave morality), the demand for obedience (law vs wisdom) rather than respect and tolerance, the demand for expansion (domination), divisiveness and…
Personality “tests”
MBTI is the finger-paint version of the Big Five/Six(Minnesota Multiphasic), which the crayon version of evolutionary biology, which is the painterly version of bio-chemistry, which in itself is the calculus of demonstrated behavior. Don’t get excited about precision. For some people finger painting and crayons suit their skill level and needs.
Bringing Psychology to Its Final Conclusion
—“Curt Doolittle I noticed MBTI has turned into a sort of religion for a-lot of people. Unfortunate how this always happens.”—Candice Mary As I’ve said elsewhere sixteen (4×4) with archetypal names, is about as complex as the average person can manage to ‘calculate’ with. I would much rather have people use MBTI and understand that…
Selling Degrees vs Indulgences
—“Academia is the modern priesthood.”— Bill Anderson It should be. The academy evolved out of the church instead out of the greek and roman upper middle class and aristocracy. And who filled the void of the church when the church failed to adapt to modernity? The church-in-waiting. However, the church and it’s selling of Indulgences…
Requirements of A Religion – Transfer Not Stasis
—“How do we sacralize (keep static) our value system, outside of religion? Christianity was the container, and will be again. We can modify which values are contained in it, but we need : 1. A value system 2. A way to transmit it to all classes (myth, feasts, spectacles) 3. A way to keep the…
More “Life’s Potential Energy (capital)”
—“Everyone is born with X amount of potential (genetic, cultural, material and technological capital). If they do nothing or pursue a hedonic lifestyle, that potential will be consumed and then one dies. Most people barely sustain it, maybe increase it marginally. Exceptional people increase it exponentially, and that’s why we have pareto distributions of success.…
Rationalizing Myers-Briggs (MBTI), Big5, and Propertarianism
RATIONALIZING MYERS-BRIGGS AND BIG5 (AND PROPERTARIANISM) (Repost from 2016) 1) —“The Myers-Briggs rests on wholly unproven theories”— Well, it rests on observation of demonstrated motivations. So does all of psychology, and all of sociology, both of which are demonstrably pseudoscience created as pseudosciences by Boaz, Marx, Lenin and Trotsky, Freud, Cantor, Adorno’s Crew, and Mises,…
Q&A: “What Are Your Thoughts on MBTI?”
(repost from 2016) (You can learn a great deal from reading this) 1) I am an INTP, In five factor I have very high agreeableness, average dominance, some introversion, action oriented (tad impulsive), very orderly, extremely high openness to experience, and high neuroticism (worry). Note the difference between the positive positioning of the INTP and…
The “NAXALT” Thread
(illustration of one of the principle differences in gender perception) —“(Insert here one of my many generalizations about the differences between men and women, the fallacies of feminism’s equality, and the need for reciprocal exchanges given our differences.)”– Curt (There is nothing special about Ms.Olson. She is pretty much the product of western education justifying…
The Role of Emotions
Emotions are information. They inform us as to past, present, and future changes in state of capital (resources) environmental, physical, mental, social, and emotional. Our struggle in transcending from animal to human is knowing when that information is true, and when it is false for the circumstances. Since evolution seized the opportunity to surrender that…
Where Does an Attractive, Smart, Conservative Woman Find a Worthy Smart Man?
WHERE DOES AN ATTRACTIVE, SMART, CONSERVATIVE WOMAN FIND A WORTHY SMART MAN? —“Where does a smart conservative woman find particularly high IQ men (who aren’t cold and unfeeling robots)?”— A tall order. (They’re Taken Quickly) Um. I’ll tell you the painful truth. That is that conservative high-iq women are nowhere near as attractive an investment…
More NAP and The Blackmail Test
—“According to the NAP, it’s a voluntary exchange.” The issue I have with that is that blackmail is coercion by definition, and merely acquiescing to coercion (such as handing the mugger your wallet) doesn’t make it less of a NAP breach. Correct?”–– well, rothbard and block and hoppe disagree with you, because it is in…
The Authors of the Books of the Bible
by Thomas Daniel Nehrer, Paul almost certainly wrote seven of the books attributed to him, and possibly an eighth — based on writing style and content. Biblical scholars have concluded (in general, as some doubtless differ) that the other books attributed to him were written by someone else. Their style and content differ considerably. And…
