@RichardY You should read the book. I'm bored with arguing with you.

@RichardY Look where Stefan got his information from! I suppose he's a hack too. http://www.fdrurl.com/anonymous-conservative From the description box on this podcast.

@RichardY LOL

@RichardY It's as if we're talking about evolution you're saying "Who is this Darwin guy?" I don't know how else to explain it.

@RichardY Here you go: http://anonymousconservative.com This is the person who published the theory of r/K selection in politics. You wouldn't even be talking about it if not for his work.

@RichardY I know I'm not confused because it's the seminal book on r/K selection in politics.

@RichardY Anonymous Conservative's seminal book states that in group preference is K. You might be confused because White people currently have weak in-group preference. According to the book, some human populations are innately more r, and some more K. However, they also adapt to their immediate environment. Right now, White people are not very K.

Monogamy is K because it allows two parents, which increases offspring quality. In the age of birth control, it is possible to be polygamous but still K in that regard. However, if he's having kids with lots of different women, I'd argue he's r, because he will produce lower quality, r-selected children of single mothers. The point of K selected competition is to find a high quality K selected mate. If he's having kids with lots of women, he's not doing that, because high quality K women would not allow that. Depending on how promiscuous and risky his behavior is, he could be r, K, or not fit well in either category. IMHO. r/K selection is a bit confusing. I don't fully understand it myself yet. I'd recommend Anonymous Conservative's book on the topic.

Yes. How about Trump winning the presidency as an example? He used appeals to emotion, personal attacks, the social proof fallacy, charisma, and humor to name a few strategies.

I play piano/keyboard. I'm too preoccupied right now, but I'd be interested to hear one of your compositions. Have you published anything? If I like it, I'll consider collaborating at some point.

@Siegfried von Walheim Thanks! I plan to integrate music into my activism. Good luck to you.

Well said.

I'd like to try different things to find out what I'm best at. There's so much I need to learn about history, philosophy, economics, writing, persuasion, and other things. In the meantime, I could do on the ground reporting, and use my piano/composition skills to help grow a hybrid commentary channel. There are so many commentators with much more knowledge than me, so I need a way to stand out. If I try to talk to Antifa and they punch me, that would draw attention. Maybe I could interview abuse victims of transgender ideology. Many kids have been prescribed puberty-blocking drugs. I haven't seen any reporting on the ones who changed their minds later. When few people are telling the truth about something, anybody can stand out simply by speaking it. I'm still pursuing music, just not as my main purpose in life. FDR helped me fully understand that there are evil forces in the world. After that, my musical aspirations seemed insignificant. There is no shortage of great musicians. After all, we live in the digital age and every artist can be mass distributed. Any impact my music could have on the world is nothing compared what I could do by using my creativity to help solve real problems. Before, I wanted to be a professional composer, which would have required my full dedication. I'm sure I would have regretted that path. I'd have to watch from the sidelines as evil people wreak havoc on society. I know I have creativity and intelligence for more than just music. I don't want to squander it. EDIT: I believe art, including music, is important. However, I think music is a relatively unimportant purpose compared to fighting problems that may cause suffering on an unimaginable scale. Marxism has killed over 100 million, and it is alive and well.

Lol. I can relate.

Hi! I've been on the board for a while, but let me properly introduce myself. My name is Will. I'm a 23 year old living in ND. I used to be an aspiring composer. I spent 3 years studying music and piano before realizing that those things aren't important to the world, and dropping out. I had almost no formal training in piano or composition before college because my father is a narcissist who doesn't like it when others are competent at things. (I wasn't allowed to have a piano teacher) I'm proud of what I managed to do in spite of that. (I hope you don't mind me bragging a little) A piece I wrote at 15 or 16 with no training in composition, is attached: Wind Ensemble Score 24.mp3. It's a little disorganized, but I still like it. I'm an autodidact, as you can tell. My job is stocking shelves at Walmart. That doesn't sound dignified, but I get over $18/hr, because I'm in an oil boom town. I've been on sick leave for about 5 months after collapsing a couple of times. I have episodes of weakness, and I still don't know the cause. Fortunately, I became wealthy in the recent cryptocurrency explosion- just in time to lose my income . I'm interested in pursuing journalism/activism, and I might work on a youtube channel. I could use my musical skills to help it grow. I have a lot to learn though. An excerpt from a Schubert impromptu:
