@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:

He's also an FDR board member.

@barn I agreed that blending in has dangers. Should a prisoner never hold his tongue? You apply discretion in each situation, so it's not a binary choice. Anyway, It's up to him to figure out what's best for him.

Hi @barn You made a good point, and I realized what I wrote sounded shallow. @gavstone21 To clarify, I'm not advising to hide yourself. Just be aware of how your giftedness can alienate you, so you can at least consciously choose weather/when to blend in or stick out. I moved to a new high school in 10th grade, and wasn't able to form new close friendships. It was not fun at all. If you have even one person who is like you, then that may not be a problem. Hiding yourself stunts your intellectual growth. Values are strongly influenced by our social group, so becoming too invested in people who don't share your values has its danger. Again, I don't know you so I don't know how helpful that is.

I'm not a teen, but I'm 23 and I was in your shoes not that long ago. It sounds like you're gifted, and I know from my own experience that being an outlier can be a very difficult time. Even as an adult, it's hard to connect with people my own age. I don't know exactly what your challenges are, but here's the advice I'd give to my younger self: When there aren't any other smart people around, learn how to communicate in a simpler manner that doesn't give away your giftedness, or at least be very careful not to be perceived as arrogant. Think of Trump communicating in simpleton-language. If you give away clues that you're gifted, you instantly put distance between yourself and the group. It's tempting to be resentful that others aren't as smart as you, but resentfulness will create a barrier between you and other people, which will be harder to fix the older you get. Accept that others aren't like you, and try to understand them so that you can blend in when you need to. Hopefully you can find some more intelligent company. I don't know if that's useful, but I think it probably is. Good luck, and hang in there.

Kokesh doesn't mind allowing socialist leftists to take power because he believes having borders is morally unprincipled... Ok. If your idea for ethically achieving utopia involves genocide, you should probably go back to the drawing board.

To make the world a better place. If you don't want to take action based on moral principles, that is up to you, but don't try to infect others with your apathy. That is the very least you can do.

In his recent video Death by DACA, Stefan explained how DACA is a life or death matter. According to Stefan, it could lead to a Venezuela style nightmare, and I agree. You may disagree, but I'm not looking to argue that here. I want to discuss how one might go about trying to explain this threat to a normie (non red-pilled person) without appearing to be a bigot, if that's even possible. Obviously this is an extremely difficult viewpoint to sell, unless you're talking to the rare person with a extreme dedication to truth. Perhaps there is no way to make this argument without looking like a hateful racist, and it is our moral duty to sacrifice our reputation and relationships. I really hope it doesn't come to that, but there may be no other option. Or maybe there's some other collective strategy we can use, like calling the white house comment line. The problem is, I don't think Trump wants to end DACA, for the same reason that I am not enthusiastic about making this argument. There probably aren't enough of us who get it to sway Trump by calling the White House. In any case the odds do not look good, so we need a strong strategy. I have sympathy for the people who will be moved even though they were forced to come here by their parents. The whole situation makes me feel sick. I just don't see a way around genetic IQ, birth rates, and the possibility of a soviet style hell that may ensue.

I'd like to add that I have sympathy for the people who will be moved even though they were forced to come here by their parents. The whole situation makes me feel sick. I just don't see a way around genetic IQ, birth rates, and the possibility of a soviet style hell that may ensue.
