No.

The rambling argument in the original post needs to be summarized. Here: "Viewing porn will transfer money to a website, and the website will use that money to force open the eyeballs of children and make them watch porn." And now we see that this is not an argument against viewing porn. This is an argument against forcing open the eyeballs of children and making them watch porn. Since children generally have less agency than adults, it is also an argument against bad or neglectful parenting.

Most are familiar with the Golden Rule: In Skin in the Game, NN Taleb describes a rule he considers even more important that he calls the Silver Rule: The Silver Rule reminds me of Stef's Universally Preferable Behaviors and the non-aggression principle. One of the arguments Stef makes for testing if something can possibly be a UPB is if a person in a coma could be compliant. If you prescribe some action as a requirement for virtue, then a person in a coma could not comply, and would be considered unvirtuous. This seems ridiculous, so UPBs are things like respect for property rights. Since a man in a coma isn't stealing anything, he is virtuous. Taleb is just beginning to nibble on the edge of UPBs. I don't think Taleb is aware of Stef's UPB work. If UPBs are in fact a real thing, you would expect independent observation and discovery. Gravity can be independently observed, measured, and "discovered" in North America, or Australia, or the moon, because it is a part of objective reality. UPBs represent Stef's attempt to elevate moral principles to the level of science (like gravity). UPBs are an independently observable part of objective reality. On a more tactical note, someone that can get Taleb's attention should point this out to him, and get him to tweet out a link to Stef's UPBs book. This would give Stef's ideas a big boost in public recognition.

Parallels: Immigration: The Romans imported "barbarians" (foreigners) because they needed tax payers and soldiers for their army. The modern West imports foreigners to pay taxes for their pensions to make up for the low native birth rates. Rome experienced declining birth rates, similar to the West. The barbarians "just wanted a better life", similar to immigrants coming into the West. It all really comes down to the magical dirt theory of immigration. Welfare. Bread and circuses. Public finance. Currency debasement. Increasing taxation. Easy divorce. Female empowerment. Low birth rates. Loss of civic virtue. Loss of moral confidence. Loss of spirit of sacrifice for the greater good of the community. Loss of courage. Decline of character. This is the slide from r-selected to K-selected. This is harder to describe, but you can see it in the modern West in the form of this appeasing cowardice and conflict avoidance. As an example, consider Stefan's recent adventures with Lauren Southern and this video of her with the Australian chief of police (exact rank unknown, but he seemed high up). This man (or his superiors) have a choice. They can insist that Lauren has the right to say anything she wants, and that violent response by muslims is unacceptable. Instead, they insist that Lauren remain silent, because they are too scared to deal with any violent response by muslims. It's the same situation with the Pakistani rape gangs in England. You can either confront the problem directly, or cover it up to avoid conflict in the present moment. Complete surrender of all principles in order to avoid conflict. What sort of character do you imagine such men possessing? It's hard to put into words just how contemptibly cowardly and weak Western men have become. I also don't believe it is possible to explain to such men how contemptible they are. They likely wouldn't register the words as anything other than another conflict to avoid or a game to win in the moment. "How do I get more lollipops? How do I avoid more hurtsies? Will this impact my pension?" You can't use shame to make shameless cowards brave and moral. Do you see much bravery in the modern West?

Outrageous. I shall listen with great focus and intensity to the behavior of this 'husband' so that I may extract only the highest moral values and ensure that I never accidentally emulate such barbaric behaviors.

Stef, thanks for being patient and finally (last 30-40 minutes) getting through to this guy. Wow.

It makes sense if we understand that barn is triggered and went into cognitive dissonance mode:

They're selfish and they don't really care about you or your child. You never mentioned the most important part. How do others react to the fact that you don't hit your kids?

Additionally, diversity erodes trust. See the infamous Robert Putnam paper: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1467-9477.2007.00176.x Stef asked the caller why he believes his wife married him. Possible answers we are left to ponder: His good looks His American citizenship He didn't have high assets or income. The caller's wife married her rapist (youtube title 'My Wife Married Her Rapist') to get some sort of advantageous paperwork for her son. So now we know that the wife is willing to marry someone for less than honorable reasons. And she has a habit of dishonesty, well-established during the call. Maybe she married this high-trust white cuck so she could get herself, her son, and the chain-migrated relatives into America. Diversity's exploitation of high-trust white societies in action!

I remember the mother lived with them and was elderly. So it could be that the caller and/or her kids are supporting her rather than welfare. The caller said the father told him that he was required to appease his girlfriend/wife with whatever she wanted. This was direct, explicit advice from the father to his son regarding the relationship, so I'm saying the father had significantly more influence than the mother. The caller was working with the bad behavioral example of this parents. I expect the son to more closely observe and emulate the father rather than the mother, so I say the father again had significantly more influence than the mother. White societies are high-trust societies, and high-trust societies are, for the most part, white. Japan is a notable exception. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_Perceptions_Index https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/sunday-times/all-that-matters/Amoral-familism/articleshow/1271773.cms Amoral familism is the norm in the third-world. Non-white societies, for the most part, do not have this feature "where people cared about the truth and honesty, looking out for each other". Now, what do you suppose happens when some non-white, low-trust people move into a white, high-trust society? They exploit the hell out of the trusting nature of the whites. (Hint: Jews are not a white race.) Not that much. This husband-cucking African woman was the best that this man believed he could do, which means she is the best he can do. (He might be able to work on his mindset and do better, but for now, she is the best he can do.) With some mindset training, he could do better. But what makes this guy's mindset weak? It's his deferral to women, which is the norm for Western men. Why were this man's standards calibrated so low that he allows himself to be cucked? He's a good-looking guy. Yes. But what are the norms or averages? The caller is well above average in looks and about average in mindset. And a total cuck. Which seems to be the average Western mindset.

Insane levels of cuckery: Good-looking white man. Raises child African wife had with African rapist. African child hits, bites, and terrorizes American children. Chain migrates in African relatives who live on welfare. Root cause of said insane levels of cuckery appears to be the father of the caller instilling feminine primacy values in the caller. In a homogeneous, high-trust, white community with well-behaved women, this would not result in insane levels of society-annihilating cuckery. But that's not where we are. The caller is a good-looking guy, but I bet his deference ("niceness") to women marks him as a beta, turns them off, and this cuck relationship is the best he can do. The sad reality is that this husband-cucking African woman is probably the highest quality woman a "nice" Western man can get. Did you hear the part where she cooks for him? I bet he's never met a white Western woman that nice. If you want a white woman, you have to work on your game, neg her, treat like shit, etc.

Cape Town, South Africa. Apropos Stef's latest video. The main African lady speaking at the front of the room made a point regarding Newton and science. Her notion of science is that universal gravitation is something that exists because Newton says that it exists, and that if someone says something different, then something different exists. It's similar to postmodernism (see Thaddeus Russell debate) where she denies that objective relatively exists. She thinks gravity is because "Newton says" not because of reality. This is a fundamental misunderstanding of science, where observations should be repeatable and verifiable. The law of universal gravitation exists not because Newton observed it. It exists because anyone can observe it. Reality is not a Western construction. These people can't even competently cargo cult civilization. But we should totally subsidize them to attend MIT.

There is no need to invoke comparisons with non-human animals. The ancient ratio of successful female to male reproducers was 17:1. https://psmag.com/environment/17-to-1-reproductive-success Once upon a time, beta males were needed to do hard labor, like farming, or dangerous tasks, like defending a border. Then, the beta males invented machines to eliminate scarcity and risk from society. The women, liberated from their dependence upon a beta male provider and protector, decided they no longer had any use for a beta male provider and protector. This is where we are today.

Maybe the bulls native to that herd have weak Game. Maybe they were trying beta provider Game with the giving of all the best grass to the cows when what they should have been doing was alpha peacocking Game by grooming their fur, polishing their horns, and telling entertaining stories. The native bulls probably gave their cows the vote, and they voted to import bulls from a different herd.

Same question regarding @smarterthanone with -31. Scores are based on up/down votes by fellow members, right? Unless a mod (MMD) zaps you.

Is it because the cows focused on their careers during their peak fertility years?

I referenced this earlier, but I particularly enjoy the contrast with Western culture. Who would you rather have come to your school and talk to your kids about LGBT issues? Poo Poo Man (see above) Demonic Tranny Man On the one hand, we have a man delivering common sense talk about the relationship between homosexual men and poo poo. On the other hand, we have a God-knows-what delivering God-knows-what. I've setup a false dichotomy for humorous purposes of course [don't want barn to get his knickers in a knot], but I have to go with Poo Poo Man. Low IQ imbeciles can actually sound more intelligent than high IQ Westerners by simply having enough courage and integrity to speak plainly and truthfully.

My guess as to the point, in no particular order: Laugh at a bunch of low IQ imbeciles using a "poo poo" example to set a national health (and culture?) policy Laugh at the contrast between Western political correctness and common sense talk about "poo poo" Laugh at commentators who do a bunch of moral posturing by pretending to not get the point of posting it

"African aircraft test flight" has finally met its match.

Whoa! Disappeared! There was a 20 minute video, but they got to youtube. They unpersoned Tommy Robinson. https://www.pscp.tv/w/1BRJjrPNMvZJw

Rebel Media has the best coverage, including some context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6w7MJZX5YU

Immigration. Civil war. Great talk. Looking forward to part two.

Is there a social media platform or discussion group with real substantive discussions using the sort of red pill knowledge FDR imparts? I looked at the youtube comments under Stef's videos. It was the wasteland you'd expect to find in youtube comments sections. I came to the FDR message boards hoping for something more elevated. I haven't found what I've been looking for. There is some serious, profound information being put out by FDR. It has a huge viewership. Are people not understanding what they're seeing here? I get the very strong impression that very few of Stef's viewers really understand what they're seeing here or how to apply it.

This is true of all immigrants. Consider the options available to immigrants to a host country: Submit Conquer Assimilate (a form of submission) Did I miss any? There are biological differences among races. These differences surface as differences in IQ, personality, and preferences. As an immigrant, you can Submit to the preferences of the host nation, sacrificing your own. As an immigrant you can Conquer the host nation, forcing them to sacrifice their preferences for the sake of your own. As an immigrant, you can Assimilate to the host nation. This is very difficult. If some important preferences have biological origins, then how does one assimilate? You either fake it(Submit) or interbreed to the point that your migrant DNA is diluted into inconsequentiality. A host nation can only assimilate a small number relative to the native population. For example, the US could take in some Germans and Irish and not be too bad off. Somalis are a bridge too far. When the migrant population wishes to Conquer, but lacks the numbers and power to do so, it can Subvert. A sort of backdoor, behind the scenes variant of Conquer.
