Best city to live in in america because no viable underclass, highly educated upper middle class. too expensive for lower classes to move in. no underclass means…

Putin has established a military base in the region.  This was his intention.  No other expenditure of effort is necessary. https://www.quora.com/Why-is-Russia-leaving-Syria

That it’s natural.  That all human groups act in the interests of their kin.  That people vote racially.  They work in racial groups. They live in racial groups. They mate and marry in racial groups.  They speak in racial groups. All racial groups convey status because some groups are more desirable than others.  That all…

They’re wrong. https://www.quora.com/Why-do-some-people-say-that-former-eastern-block-countries-had-a-state-capitalist-system-and-not-a-socialist-one

People think and speak aware of race because people act aware of race. People vote as racial blocks. And therefore firm political competition for status and rent seeking. People associate in racial blocks. People work in racial blocks. People reside in racial blocks. Vast differences in reproductive desirability between races.  And people mate in racial…

No “best” among the worst. Close Uha. Burn Hartford. Move the seat of government to Farmington. 😉 https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-best-bars-in-West-Hartford-CT

We have always had mixed economies and always will. Neither extreme is possible since under pure capitalism commons cannot be produced because incentives to produce them don’t exist, and under pure socialism production is impossible in no small part because incentives to produce don’t exist.  These two terms are also questionably dishonest. Capitalism refers to…

—“One man can’t stand alone against the world. But a few in confederation can hold the looting hoards at bay indefinitely.”—- Eli Harman

[I] will say it again. Of course I love my family and tribe above all. But I also wish every other family and tribe to prosper, evolve, and transcend. As far as I can tell, our differences are just differences in skills when we practice truthfulness in all walks of life. And yes, I understand…

Of all the skills we can be taught the Trivium is the most important. It is the art of testimony – of teaching all children to judge the truth or falsehood of statements. Why would you no longer teach Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric? Unless you wanted children to lie? The Trivium Gives Us Skills in…

I would rather invest in a moral man regardless of his abilities than invest in intelligent men regardless of his morality. We call it humility but it can also be described as endlessness. There are those of us who wish to be done and those of us who wish to journey. And it is only…

—“A revolution is a rapid, fundamental, and violent domestic change in the dominant values and myths of a society, in its political institutions, social structure, leadership. and government activity and policies. Revolutions are thus to be distinguished from insurrections, rebellions, revolts, coups, and wars of independence. A coup d’etat in itself changes only leadership and…

Sometimes we must make hard choices. Because there are no easy choices left to make. When we do, that which we valued above all the day before, we may not value the day after. I am as much a fool as any other fellow. My folly is in things that others find trivial. Just as…
