Indoctrination does not equal unintelligent. People are social and many believe what they perceive “everybody else” believes. Even Red pilling is only possible for many red pilled because they hear of others who are red pilled. It was quiet astonishing to watch Dave Rubin flustered by the realization of the destruction of Welfare on the Black community and struggle to rationalize continued support for Welfare (which I think he may have retreated somewhat from by now). Perhaps there is an evolutionary beneficial affect to denying what looks like reality and to bend your view to the popular opinion. Hunter gatherers may have benefited from greater peace, other humans died out. Or our minds could have been so bad at interpreting the world, we had to combine our input from all the hunter gatherers and accept the common perspective as most accurate (tho this makes little sense as anyone capable of communicating their perspective on reality should have had plenty of processing power to interpret reality, and the time lag to communicate should have been fatal).

Elzoog, first, let’s be candid, your daughter called five days after your feeling. Not 30 secs after. I mean no disrespect, but my mother is positive her dreams are true too. Especially that time she dreamed my aunt, who was 9 months pregnant at the time, had a baby. My mother probably dreamed that same dream every night for 11 days, but she only remembered the dream that preceded the phone call that her sister gave birth. I am sure I have experience similar synchronicity and attributed to intuition and intelligence, what is more similar to random firing of neurons and is atrociously unreliable statistically speaking. We don’t remember how often we forget our wrong intuitions :/

The entire cost of the Canadian national healthcare system to get a few more entrepreneurs? In the US, we deploy freedom and you do what you want at your own cost.

It is obvious to me that your subconscious is telling you it thinks your daughter is important. FYI, I agree with your subconscious. unfortunately we aren’t prescient, despite how it may sometimes feel that these things are. The is a system in our mind which uses these stimuli when confirmed to remember and when disconfirmed to forget. But what does that mean for life? When something Big happens, pay attention to what message you are getting, speak it over with friends, try to figure out what is troubling you and try to resolve it. I think our brains tie up processing power when we don’t resolve issues as they come dampening our ability and energy.

Getting twice as many entrepreneurs, by spending three times as much money isn’t a benefit. Government spending misallocates resources.

I have been reading Genesis, the other one.

God didn’t start creation with the Psalmist King David. God started creation with Adam. Adam was born without sin. Once Adam chose sin, everyone born after was born with sin within us. We are all the children of Adam and Eve.

No one looks at that crazy graph and chooses to make decisions based on it. They try to supply goods at a profit and the price signal efficiently sends them the information they need to allocate their resources. Central planning isn’t more efficient. It is not only less efficient, it is less innovative. A market system promotes innovation. So many of the benefits we have today are due to innovation. In your central planned economy, designed by foolish limited people, how will innovation get resources allocated?

Pretty clear by now there were four deputies outside and they did receive a stand down order.

Thanks Joe, won’t deny Barn his point, working on myself and hoping to hit a home run. the sooner the better

Just heard a survey. Women rate more 80% of men as below average attractiveness. And I’m roughly an 8

Because people have tried and failed every time. why do you think you can replace the current system? How?

Well to be honest I don’t know children that well, but soothing your boy when he behaves badly sounds similar to what one shouldn’t do with dogs. A woman who lives near me (invited me to dinner a couple times, but I stopped when I realized she was torturing her dog) would sooth the dog when the dog would bark or growl, reinforcing this behavior and increasing the prevalence of that action. Seems bad for her, right? Yes, but it is worse for the dog, because the dog experiences and elevated anxiety when it barks, so the dog was being trained to experience anxiety constantly... I doubt your boy enjoys crying. I don’t know what the fix is, but now that he is above 2, he needs to get on the right track and then I recall from Peterson, certainly by 4, that when the child misbehaves, sit him down and explain to him he can rejoin you when he gains control of himself. And watch him carefully so you can reinforce minimal progression toward the correct goal.

But technology was created here in free markets. Whereas in Russia they murdered farmers and engineers. Allocation of resources made sense to feed the politician in Moscow, while the people producing the food starved... Did Russia create one new thing in the 70 years they had communism? Anything at all to offset the destruction of industry and human capital?

Some bankers do cheat. How many congressmen tho? 100%! Congress wrote a law saying they are allowed to inside trade, but you are not. One law for me, one law for thee. What you are creating is the motivations to cheat and the inability for people to meet their needs. 1. You think you only need to prioritize creation of food. Which foods? What about distribution of food? Heating oil? Medical care? Countless other necessities? 2. What incentives are you creating in the system? Some will take advantage. Some will use the power of the system for their own benefit.

When there was less government, there were fewer monopolies. Standard Oil kept prices down even tho they held 90%+ of the market. Every time they raised prices a little, competitors would outcompete and purchasers would replace their product with competitors products. Also even while keeping prices low, once the demand rose for their products, competitors entered the market despite their low prices. Every since time anti trust has been used, it was the government protecting a business competitor, not the consumer. Every large corporation today, is as large as it is due to government regulations that prevent competition. Healthcare, Banking, etc.

Looks like no one mentioned an armed sheriff deputy hid the entire time. Or how they teach English. Watched a Yaron Brook video with Brad Thompson:

Progressive Jews who boycott Israel? Are they also preferring an in group? Or do they see their in group as Berkeley? Humans are very adaptable. Their ideology does guide their preferences, including in group preference.

Culture, not race. honor societies suffer some due to the terrible motivations created by the system. It takes a long time to accrue Honor, but it can be lost with one foolish mistake, so it is selfishly viable to engage in crimes to cover up the first error. Honor societies are not limited to Asia and N Africa, but they are very common there, including China, Korea and Japan.

So we only have to wait in line for bread until... That sounds incredibly wasteful. Why not have many different types of bread wait for me? That’s what markets provide with the price signal. And then you just presume people will what? Get so used to waiting in line, they will stop waiting in line? Or are you just rewarding the least productive people? First come, first serve? Some may die, but that’s a risk you are willing to take? Who will administer the whole system? Millions of mid level bureaucrats? Answerable to whom? Upper level bureaucrats? I’m guessing they don’t have to wait in line for bread?

Without markets, there is no price signal, without a price signal, people will produce too much of one resource and too little of others. Russia was notorious with that. People starving but plenty of bricks...

SteveSmith, obviously at some resolution it exists, but don’t get too dependent on it.

Thank you, I’ll try those. Im pretty sure I heard of eat that frog before.

I am considering taking Jordan Peterson’s Self Authoring thingy. But I am unsure if it would be helpful for me. I am an engineer and my brain works a little differently. The deterant is the price, if it won’t help, the cost is an absolute loss, if it does help thenit would be worth it. I recently turned on the radio and heard Dennis Prager talking about how the ability to communicate clearly is indicative of an organized mind or somesuch. And while I often have trouble communicating clearly when it comes to things that are engineering related my memory seems better I can hold a complex machine design in my mind and see how all the parts are interacting and what problems might arise and how to fix them just leaning back in a chair thinking without paper and pen.

Let’s talk about the communication, another post? In Misc
