You wanna know about free will? No? Well, too bad I guess.

 Here's a good mainstream take. You can watch him define the terms, then stop.
 https://www.youtube.com/embed/C7YSy-Mr-d8

 Turns out both determinism and free will is impossible. Maybe that deserves a bang. Impossible!

 To have free will, determinism must be true. For you to determine your actions, determinism must be true. If determinism was false, your will would have no ability to affect the future.
 The properties that make up [you] have to have specific effects based on the youness of the [you]. Just like the mass of a billiard ball determines the transfer of momentum.

 But wait, there's more. Later he gets into, "imagine a computer with the initial state of the universe programmed into it." Haha, lol. Logically impossible. The universe can't compute itself due to computational overhead. The computer has to be bigger than the universe, which is impossible by definition. Existence can't be bigger than Existence, that's not how logic works. That's a divide-by-zero level howler.

 The future is completely determinate but completely indeterminable. At a cosmic level, the future is unknowable, and the only exception is going to the future and looking at it. Using a space analogy, telescopes don't exist at the cosmic level. You have to personally walk over there and see with your own eyes. Determinism can't be meaningfully true if the future is indeterminate.

 But wait, that's not all.
 He claims free will vs. determinism has all sorts of implications. Haha! Nope! Doesn't have a single implication! None! Zip!
 These sentences get bangs. Perhaps, again, the earlier one deserves a bang too.

 To be precise, every implication of determinism is exactly identical to the implications of free will. Technically known as libertarianism.

 If someone commits a crime of his own free will, he should go to jail. (Or rather get executed, but same diff.)
 If someone commits a crime because it was determined by the universe, he should to to jail. (Get executed.)

 If he freely chose, he needs to be physically prevented from freely choosing the same thing again. Nobody deserves to have to live around him.
 If it was determined by implacable fate, he needs to be physically prevented from being compelled to do it again. Nobody deserves to have to live around him.

 If it quacks like a duck, it is a duck. Libertarianism is identical to determinism.
 If that makes no sense, it's because neither determinism nor libertarianism make any sense.

 You can't be free to be somebody else. You are you, not someone else. You will make your choices, not someone else's choices, in the same way a carrot is not an ocean liner.
 You can't be predicted. The only way for an observer to find out what you're going to do is to watch you do it. Determinism implies libertarianism.

 There is a bit of a mystery in that there are some exceptions. There are things which are, in practice, predictable. Very curious. Nobody can explain.

 I think the libertarianism vs. determinism debate is a deliberate distraction. A prospiracy. Nobody planned it. It was such an obvious move it doesn't need planning, but it is intentionally, consciously maintained.
 Despite everything, some things are predictable. Rather a lot of things in fact. Explaining how has a very high chance of being extremely powerful.
 And embarrassing. And they don't want you to have power.

 Sadly I already have the power and have no motivation to go and explain it verbally. [Lunar path only] is sufficient.



 Mortals have instincts about free will. Qualitative intuitions. These are largely about physical chains, and applying them to cosmic ontology is misuse.
 The fundamental is that you can tell when what you call your [free will] is hitting interference. The turbulence feels like something, and your resulting impulses are adaptive ways of clearing the interference. If something can vary like this, it obviously can't be any kind of cosmic law. (You should recognize [cosmic law] as a redundant phrase. I just said [some kind of ordered order], but one of the words was greek, while another, latin.)

 "Am I, the contingent entity [me/you/self], part of the causal chain? Is the contingent outcome contigent on my internal psychic events? If so, I am [free]. If not, I am not." This is a scalar. You can be more free or less free.
 You can't be more deterministic or less libertarian, that's a binary. Assuming they're even coherent enough to be a binary.

 If believing in determinism makes you feel constrained, you're delusional, and you're about to direct an adaptive response at something that cannot respond to you or adapt. (Do you like repeating words without equivocating? I like it. Because english is crud.) 

 P.S. [Living] is not a real property of physical objects. A physical cat and a physical rock are not qualitatively different. You can if you want define a category and project it onto them if you want. I believe I have a post about handles and definitions somewhere...

https://alrenous.blogspot.com/2021/12/definitions-examples-religion-ravens.html
https://alrenous.blogspot.com/2022/01/definitions-examples-bowls.html

 You can define life as anything that has a definable goal which it will attempt to secure. Typically it goes recursive. Living things have a goal of staying alive, on account of the fact that anything that doesn't try to stay alive lost the capacity to strategically direct energy long before we were around to see them.

 Alternatively you can define [living] as referring to consciousness, which is not physical. However, this has the consequence of labelling you dead when you're asleep.

True Sociology

 Mortals pursue their own individual interest. With some exceptions, their own short-term and immediate interests.
 Mortals have a restricted value schedule. It's beating up his neighbour. Having more money, having a hotter wife or more wives, having more friends, having more followers. Occasionally, literally punching him in the face. Inspiring Envy is the whole game.
 Mortals are not nearly as stupid as they pretend to be. They do genuinely know their own immediate interests. Having already decided what he's going to pursue, he makes up whatever bullshit he thinks will make you do what he wants.

 In the modern age, they don't need to make up anything new. Homestuck principle: whatever bullshit you need already exists, you merely pick it and pretend you totes believe it.

 Mortals don't really cooperate. Perhaps this wasn't true in the distant past, but in the present, homo sapiens is a herd creature. He moves in the same direction as those with the same incentives as him, because he was going to do that anyway. Camaraderie is a myth. There are only fellow travellers. E.g. having picked your bullshit, you signal you have the same interests as everyone who picked the same bullshit. It's in their interest to direct their fire at competitors rather than fellow travellers. You're not coming to an agreement and reinforcing each other, you're merely assured of not getting shot in the back as long as they have someone else to shoot and they believe you're shooting along with them.

 Mortals are not usually stupid, but they are stupid about the lure of the possibility of betraying their fellows. The bullshit only works on autists, who have historically been irrelevant except as punching bags. Nevertheless, the eternal promise of bullshit is that you'll trick the king into working against his interests - even though you can't trick your daughter into working against her interests. 

 Bullshit is competitive, but only because, if you can come up with bullshit that's better at inspiring Envy, you will get [[converts]]. Their interests don't change, so their ideas don't change, they change the decorations, and get bigger herds. E.g. a skilled red pill guy teaches how to tell the lies sluts want to tell their girlfriends they banged. Incel Envy and femcel Envy. E.g. someone can hack the rules to make you appear richer through a fork strategy; to deny your increased apparent wealth, they would have to dig up a pillar of their own proof of Enviousness. "I'm rich because I can beat you," vs. "I'm so rich I can afford to donate to someone I can beat up." To deny the latter is more Envious is to suggest your expensive wealth displays shouldn't be Envied.
 Secondly, some bullshit gets to the same place with less effort. If a brutalist hellblock can inspire as much Envy as an intricately carved statue, you do the former. Plus you can charge rent.

 

 Science is inherently autistic. Only autists need to cut the bullshit. "Has this replicated? No? Fuck off." A real scientist assumes the other guy is going to pursue his interests, and ignores whatever he says about it.
Note that a mortal could have done and can do this at any time, but of course it cuts off the strategy of using bullshit himself.

 

 E.g. hitler did a good job. For germany as a whole to do better, hitler would have had to sacrifice his own well-being for germany's, which was never going to happen. Anyone else hired for the same job would have seen the same incentives. Any difference in behaviour would be differences in how well they understand the incentives. How best to maximize Envy.

 E.g. when someone has a legal justification, they say it's in the court's interest to side with them, so you can't use the courts to beat them up. Legal justifications aren't legal. It's the poolitics of the court's incentives. 

 E.g. putin wants russia 'united' because that means they'll pay more taxes and he can brag to modi or khameni that lots of individuals are doing what he tells them instead of seeking their own idiosyncratic bullshit. He doesn't give the tinest shit about what's good for russia -  and indeed you're more Enviable if you get rich at your country's expense rather than in harmony. "They couldn't fend off my bullshit."

 E.g. jinping hates corruption not because it's bad for china, but because he told you not to and then you disrespectfully did it anyway. "Who dares!" Occident translation: "Insolence!"

 E.g. the modern game is to pretend to be softer than warm butter in a form of handicap Envy. Competing to be the most sheltered greenhouse flower. "I'm more yielding than fresh snot and I'm still not dead. I never had to harden up in the slightest!" Being that weak is very expensive, and since you're that weak, you certainly didn't pay for it yourself.

 

 Whenever anyone claims anything that isn't about supporting their own solipsistic interests, it is corruption. They're plain lying to you. (If  you're an allist you already know this, but pretend otherwise to avoid nuking your own corrupt speech.)

 I don't count as part of the homo genus because I have an interest that isn't Envy.

 

 

 

 Speaking of sociology, all the most 'advanced' and 'profound' systems of ethics reduce to solipsistic hedonism.
E.g. christianity is that god's happiness is what matters, because he'll hurt you if you upset him. His narcissistic rage will be boundless if you don't play out the role he's assigned to you, and you won't like that. Pleasure, pain, nothing else.
 Buddhism is the idea that the only problem is pain and the purpose of Existence is to learn not to hurt.
 Hinduism proposes the Kali yuga isn't worse than being bored.
 Stuff like nationalism is the idea that losing wars hurts, so you should do whatever it takes to win the wars you end up in.
 Why shouldn't you be a wirehead, a lotus eater, a heroin addict? Why not get into the VR pod and stay there? Because it hurts more in the long run...and that's it. That's the argument.

 Literal hedonism, "Fuck it, we ball," is merely the straightforward version of the other stuff.

 If virtue is virtuous because the gods decree it, then it's a subordinate virtue. It's only [virtuous] because some dude will punch you in the face if you don't do it, meaning the primary, hyperdivine good is not being punched in the face.

 If gods are gods because they embody a virtue, then what makes it virtuous is that you like it, much as you like not being punched in the face.

 In all cases, [[morality]] is merely avoiding self-destruction.
Homo sapiens is an inherently immoral natural kind because its core value is encouraging others to self-destruct. Every true homo is a mini Satan. 

 

 In short, it is impossible for lightsiders to study sociology. Luckily sociology is braindead easy and hardly needs to be studied.
 No society can talk about sociology as it would make Envy and betrayal more difficult. Universally counterproductive.

Capitalism, Mortality, Glorious Death, Vampires, and Karmic Profit

 I thought of four tweets in the shower, but it turned out they're woven together, and it gets long.

 

 If I were poolitical, I wouldn't be MAGA, I would be the distinctly less photogenic MACFFT, or Make america Capitalist For the First Time.

 Hey, what if, instead of being a Satanist theocracy, you did what you said you were going to do?
It's not a coincidence the initialism is so anti-popular...

 Tangent: I notice that monarchy is anti-Satanist. Greece was a Democracy (lol) and rome was a republic (loool). Then the "dark" ages happened, and Satan didn't like that...

 Don't be stalin. Don't make the whole country Capitalist at once. Start with a single town. Then two. Then four. 6, 10, etc.

 Unfortunately...

 With a couple exceptions, if you're here on Earth you are the remains of an immortal who prayed for Death, but couldn't afford it. Capitalism would reduce suffering, thus making the mortals even less able to afford to die. Indeed implementing widespread Capitalism might come with a terrible karmic cost, for doing good things to bad people.

 If you really want to help, you should support Democracy precisely because it's so tyrannical and oppressive. The People suffer terribly, that one day they might afford the Death they crave.
 Have a nice explicit "Keep Democracy?" vote every 20 or 25 years. Ensure everything is done to make their consent legitimate. Except possibly counting the votes. The idea is to prevent the rulers from farming more karmic debt than they relieve in the oppressed. 

 Death also doesn't like mortals being down here. The cosmic structure of the Earth plane makes her uncomfortable. Death is supposed to be a smooth eggshell protecting All That Exists. Instead, here, it's foamed up. Between the Earth plane and higher heavens is a double-walled bubble film of Death. The stygian river, symbolically. If all the mortals were gone, if humanity went extinct, the film would be permitted to pop and relax back to where it's supposed to be.

 Immortals pray for Death when they are cowards. The details are somewhat beyond me, but it means the standard mortal is a coward. Let's talk about vampires.

 Why can't a vampire see himself in his reflection? Because he would run screaming. He is -<terrified>- of vampires.
 Vampires are depicted as loners correctly. Vampires can only [[cooperate]] through total mental domination.
Ghosts too, in the sense that they exist at all. They vanish from perception when they notice themselves and flee. A ghost that realizes it's  dead tears itself apart, in an attempt to flee itself. Selection: for a ghost to 'live' long enough to be noticed, it has to properly repress  its self-wisdom.

 Vampires don't drink the blood of the living, they drink the blood of other undead. Vampire blood is particularly addictive for vampires.

 A coward can't live because they're too scared of dying. Cholesterol!!1! If you don't wear a bike helmet, you will die on this trip 0.01% of the time! Oh noes! A coward sees a world where everything might kill him. Fluffy kitties have toxoplasmosis...
 Consequently, they don't live. A commoner is a kind of zombie. You can be sure because necromancy works on them. Particularly control undead.

 Being terrified of Death is a common hazard for immortals. Thanatophobic. Free will in inviolable, but, you can consent by accident. Result...

 

 

 

 The world is perfectly just. Won't even let you die if you deserve less.
 If you're one of the few non-mortals, you might want to profit. The fact karma is all-encompassing becomes a problem. 

 The solution is simple but lame. Net worth is a genetic trait and karma is perfect. You have all the wealth you will ever have. If someone steals any of it from you, karma will pay you back by taking it out of their hide.

 However, if you don't much like something, you're still charged market rate for it. For example if you have a hot wife but don't appreciate her, you're still charged the normal rate for hot wives. You took her from someone who would have appreciated her more.
 The method of profit is to find things you own but don't care for and sell them. Don't bother to haggle, karma will take care of it. Unless you really love haggling, I suppose. You can also trade, for example, lowbrow pleasures for more intense ones. Comfort for excitement. That sort of thing.

 Be careful when trading for wisdom, because it's absurdly difficult to sell. Most illiquid asset. Wisdom is charged by how useful it is to the kenner.

Treachery Suppression for Children, with minor in Motherhood

 At least 99% of parents can't be trusted with the ability to hit their kids.
 It may seem this implies they can't be trusted with kids at all. Probably.
 Fundamental trust aside; can do privileges instead. Have a weekly car ride. Heck, have a weekly on-your-back ride for a couple hours. Then take it away if they insist on treachery.

 The ongoing effort from the parent is key to a proper privilege. It doesn't count as a privilege if there's a higher cost for interrupting it than continuing it, such as video game [privileges]. Easier not to steal the power cord than to let it stay.

 If parents can hit their kids, parents will use it for exploitation. Negative reinforcement allows extortion, blackmail, etc.
This should be against their interests, but they're horrible (i.e. sapiens) so it isn't.

 You can tell they're horrible because they shouldn't need encouragement from pseudonymous text boxes on the internet to give [privileges] in this sense to their kids. Why aren't you already showering your kids with nice nonmonetary luxuries, for the sake of being nice? Why have I literally never witnessed this even a single time?

 All this virtue-signalling online to avoid virtue-signalling at home. To the alleged loved ones.

 Don't forget commoners only recognize mandatory and forbidden. If commoners can extort their kids, then they think they have to. Options are too rich for their blood. That is: there's a backstop. In the extraordinary case of a virtuous commoner, they will still act viciously to their kids if it is permitted.

 Note that the 1% or less direspect rules because they can. At best they re-write the rules for their own convenience. Soycial design doesn't apply to them, regardless of system.

 By revoking a positive rather than applying a negative, it's the parents as well as the kids who receive discipline. If I demand something absurd from my kids, they will sacrifice the privilege to get out of it. "Clean your sister's room or no more piggy backs." "Oh, well, never mind on the rides then."

 A lot of the reason for [parental discipline] is merely that words are hard. Parents are inarticulate. Need a way for the children to understand the instruction. The intensity of the punishment is irrelevant, merely that it's an embodied punishment, rather than a reward. That and the fact moms say things for the sake of saying things all the time, so [consequences] are necessary to tell when she's not merely spewing bullshit from her face-butt.

 Parents being non-verbal means they can't hear their kids either. They can't tell how much the demands are burdening the children. Using privileges, they can find out. What is the greatest privilege the kid will give up to get out of the command? Imagine demanding they finish their dinner. Will they give up decorative door ribbons? They would probably give that up for a nickel. If they're giving up daily trips to the video game museum to avoid having to finish dinner, then it turns out the parent is asking far more than they realized. "Yeah, uh, your cooking is literal torture dude." Commoners are retarded. Without being smacked in the face like this, they will never figure it out. I model them as constitutionally incapable of love (storge or otherwise).

 Note that hunter tribes don't hit their children. (But do hit their wives.) Hitting someone 1/4 your weight is bullying, regardless of the reason. Cowardly and treacherous; shameful twice over. Your soyvilization should at least be as civilized as pre-agricultural societies. China is less civilized, more soyvilized, than guys who think a pointy rock is the height of ingenuity and eat off baked dirt.

 All the popular talk about rights and privileges doesn't apply to governments. It should, however, apply to families. Dinner is a right. Mcdonald's is a privilege. Make the latter non-arbitrary so it can be used as enforcement. 

 P.S. You need a father, entry #36896: moms don't comprehend systems. Is she saying no to mcds because you pissed her off or because you were bad? No, she's just bummed about the weather and in a [no] mood, and she wouldn't tell you even if she had a good reason and knew what it was. 

 If she did say when she had a good reason, not saying would reveal all the times she has no good reason.

 A common woman especially takes her feelings as gospel, and the result is incomprehensible to her let alone to anyone else. That is; babies cry to replace mom's emotions with their own, and if you're not replacing her emotions, she's inherently abusive. Women are non-sapient that this emotion-replacement trigger can go off reliably. I wouldn't have done it that way, but it's not my evolution, not my karma, and not my decision.

Resumption

 When I have posts, I will start on the 8th of every month, then post every even day until I run out. E.g. the next post will be the tenth. If I had only one that would be it for this month.

 Twitter was unlocked without a request. Turns out this guy got what he wanted. I assume both my accounts are unlocked but I didn't check. I'm using the b-side. Sometimes I will post off-schedule, in which case it's a link from twitter. Most days I'm not on twitter. This is drastically healthier. Note that my follow means nothing. I don't look at either [for you] or [following]. I use lists, because fuck the algorithm with a rake.

 Primarily I'm posting here because there's a point where threads become unmanageably large. Shock, amaze, many news: microblogging not good for long-form.
 Also note that off-topic is not antisocial. Post about anything you want in my comment section. Or as replies to my tweets for that matter. Provided the failcode lets you post and provided it's not intellectual vandalism which I'll delete. Hot tip: post observations, rather than conclusions, if you need to make it easier. If you can't even meet the standard that idiot grok can meet, consider shutting the fuck up. Not that you have a choice. Lurk moar or fuck off. 

 I have a nice private list if I think you're going to be a baby about being unfollowed. I can't complain much about twitter's shadowbans because I do it too. Follow + mute, kek. Nowhere near as often as twitter, but not never.

Hiatus

 It is break time.

 Posts will resume at an unknown point in the future. Also at an unknown rate, though daily is still least unlikely.

 It will not, however, be at an unknown rhythm. It will be specifically an 8th of the month, at the usual time. There's no need to hammer f5...I know at least one of you would. Statistically inevitable. If there's no post on the 8th, try next month. Or use the RSS or whatever.

 Exception: if the hiatus goes long I'll re-name it [sabbatical]. I will decide at the time what day of the month to post this on, but the return date will become known. In other words if you see a post not on the 8th it's only to say the hiatus is lasting longer.
 Exception: if I die unexpectedly, there will be a series of weird shit at random moments in 2031.

Canada and Mexico as Offshore Drug Labs

 Mexico and canada have serious organized crime problems. Catastrophic, in fact. Black markets masquerading as countries.

 Naturally, Revenge is Sour. If their tax livestock didn't have horrific characters, it wouldn't have been possible. It was, in fact, possible...

 They couldn't openly do retarded bioweapons research in america, so they did it in ukraine and china instead. 

 They couldn't openly manufacture schedule 1 drugs in america, so they did it in canada or mexico instead. These places had the misfortune of sharing a land border with america. 

 Shut down USAID's brother and sister, and the narco-trade will collapse on its own, by the way. They were subsidizing the ""invasion"" of illegals, and if the drug trade still exists, it's being propped up by tax dollars and/or implicit security guarantees. Ref: prohibition, the mobs are always part of the government. You can tell: try to start your own mob, see how [our hands are ties] is truly real... Yeah sure they had no way of getting capone except tax charges, lol...

 Which means the fent deaths in america are merely the peasants doing what they're told to do. As per usual. 

 Canada, ontario in particular, is the money laundering capital of the world. Who are they laundering money for? Biden. Obvs. Biden, obama, their trade partners.
 P.S. It is surprising that black governments take so long to convert the market entire into a black market. Any acute solution is a way of refusing to look at the chronic cause.
 P.P.S. Capone the capo. Bit on the nose, isn't it? Hit the nail on the head, too.

Orbital Mechanic Basics & Orbit Planet

 I had an [oh my god humans are so dumb] moment, so now anyone who doesn't already know orbital mechanics gets to learn the basics.

 

 It's this: to get to a higher orbit, go faster. To get to a lower orbit, go slower.
 In particular, you usually have to do it twice. Doing a burn affects the altitude of your orbit on the far side of the primary. Thus, when you get to your new aphelion, you need to do another burn, to even it out. Alt: you can do an even(ish) burn through a whole orbit, although this is plain stupid if you're using newtonian mass-ejection rockets. 

 Humans naively think that getting to a higher orbit means pushing yourself up. Hey. Morons. What happens when you push yourself up sub-orbitally? You come back down. Guess what happens in orbit? You come back down. Retards. Pushing yourself up is not useful unless you have a ledge up there to hang onto, to prevent the fall. No ledges in space.
 In space there's no ground to hit, so you go up again. And down. And up. Pushing yourself up (or down) while in orbit simply adds an oscillation to your orbit.
 Conservation of energy means going higher means going slower. Your altitude drops, as per the first principle of orbit. Going lower means going faster. Altitude rises. So on forever. Pushing up or down is a nearly completely useless way to spend energy.

 Something something saturn rockets? They see you get into orbit by pushing up. But you don't. If the rocket went straight up, it would also come straight back down.
 In addition to the dumb, there are lies. Escape velocity isn't a real thing. If there were only one large mass in the universe, everything would be its satellite, the only question is how distant the aphelion was. Provided gravity is continuous and doesn't cut out at some distance...it doesn't matter how fast you're going, at any finite velocity, you will decelerate infinitely. You reach zero velocity and come back. In the real world you can make smaller masses (earth) negligible compared to bigger masses (sun, galaxy) but you never literally [escape]. 

 

 On the other hand, perpendicular forces seem fairly intuitive. It changes only the direction of your orbit. You're making a great circle, and now you're making a different great circle through the same place you turned. 

 A truly counterintuitive thing: higher velocities have higher linear velocities, but lower angular velocities. The orbit takes longer. 

 Imagine a planet spinning so fast that at the tropics, the surface is moving at orbital velocity. Probably it's impossible, and if it were possible, it's likely not possible to have an atmosphere on this planet, but it would be a wild place. If you kick up a rock, it would get into orbit. Levitate. Then smack into you, as your feet are anchoring you to a higher angular velocity layer.
 Regardless of how heavy the planet is, you would be weightless. It wouldn't need to push up on you to keep you from sinking into the ground. Your feet wouldn't in fact anchor you without magnets or claws, you would lift off and the ground would slide under you toward sunrise, as you orbited at the proper orbit for your centre of mass.

 What would happen as you move toward the equator? Coriolis sand seas? Orbiting gravel constantly jostling against relatively-faster moving lower orbits?
 This thought experiment is not some exotic thing I can specially do. Physicists are just boring. Alchemists had style, and were therefore better. 

 Fast bullets are around 4000 kph. Orbital velocity on the moon is around 6000 kph. Due to lack of air, you can have ankle-height orbits if you want. Though you have to take into account the fact the moon isn't a sphere. The ankle-height orbits aren't stable due to mountains implying nonlinearities.
 Artillery on the moon can hit any other point on the moon.

Moral of Gilgamesh

 If you make "friends" with someone who can casually kick your ass, he will probably get you killed. He will take you along to a challenge that's reasonable for him and entirely impossible for you. So, don't do that. 

 Subordinates should tag themselves as subordinates. There's nothing shameful about being a vassal. What's shameful is the liegeman pretending to be equal to the liege lord.

Astronomy and Deep Geology are Bunk

 We know scientists are absolutely shit at prediction. Every time they extend a theory, it's fuckin' wrong. 

 Speaking of mohorovičić boreholes, let's read the kula superdeep borehole wikipedia page for about twenty seconds.

 "During the drilling process, the expected basaltic layers at 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) down were never found, nor were basaltic layers at any depth. There were instead more granites, deeper than predicted. The prediction of a transition at 7 kilometres was based on seismic waves indicating discontinuity, which could have been caused by a transition between rocks, or a metamorphic transition in the granite itself."
 "The drilling mud that flowed out of the hole was described as "boiling" with an unexpected level of hydrogen gas."

 As expected, scientists immediately get FAFO'd by experiment.

 If it didn't replicate, it didn't happen. 

 

 Largely this is because scientists aren't scientists. [If it didn't replicate]...this is literally science 101. If I have to tell you, you're not a scientist. They have the job description, but not the skills. Which is not surprising. Humanity is evil. Satan's children. Second, they are funded by black governments. They are politicians, not scientists, or they get fired. See also: public choice theory applies. Government science is an extremely efficient way of mass-producing lies. 

  

 I was reading about suns recently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_giant

 It's important to remember all this stuff astronomers confidently assert is mostly bullshit. It's based on models. If you dig one sun borehole they will turn out to be false, guaranteed.

 They will tell you about the inside of the sun. They have no idea.
 They also can't see shit. Telescopes are primitive. Stone age. The oort cloud is theoretical - they can't see it. To first order approximation, we have no clue what's out there. A bit like medicine. Assume the doctor is trying to kill you, unless you specific, local evidence to the contrary. Assume the astronomer is literally worse than an astrologer, unless you have specific, personal evidence to the contrary. 

 Astronomers can't experiment, so Reality can't beat them upside the head with her teaching stick. As a result, they would be smarter with the brains on the outside, drying in the sun, rather than the inside. Net error would go down.

  On the upside, that blue sun drawing is well done.

 

 Part of a pattern I should perhaps write about soon. The observation/analysis divide. Observing keenly is fairly common. Understanding what you've seen is almost impossible. Reading witness reports is fine, and when they get to conclusions you can stop reading 99.999% of the time. Similarly folk can tell you what a social system is doing, but not what it can do. They have no idea how it will respond to impulses.
 That is: astronomers can observe stellar lifecycles because galaxies are all different ages, thus, for any star, they can find a star that's the same but slightly older, and chart it that way. Anything they can't directly observe is based on analysis, which they are incapable of. Anyone capable of analysis does it in realms where they can be proven wrong, so as to show off when it isn't. Unfortunately, it is precisely astronomy et al that needs the highest analysis skill - it's not impossible, it's merely too difficult. Far more difficult than can be handled by the capacities of anyone willing to work for the government.

 Seen is real. Thought is not real. Perhaps call it NPC science.

Tariffs Benefit the Tariffed Country

 "Tariffs raise government revenue by taxing domestic consumption of foreign goods and services. They should therefore permit reduction of other forms of domestic revenue raising ('income tax!').
 Their primary incentive effect is substitution in favor of domestic production."
 https://twitter.com/xenocosmography/status/1885965856120897941/

 Tariffs reduce local production, because the government suddenly wants to maximize imports of the tariffed good.

 Daycare is the State trying to ban motherhood, because mommy can't be taxed.

 Consider car [[insurance]].
 Consider obamacare. 

 Conquest's third law.

 Tariffs, like every tax, are crimes. Crimes cannot be prosocial by definition. They are parasitic by definition, and tariffs match the definition. Ideally, the State bans local production, forcing all of the good to be imported.

 Tariffs give clout to foreign industries. They form a special interest. Empirically or historically, we can see local producers will have a weak or missing lobbyist herd. A tariff on steel allows the foreign steel  interests to threaten your government's tax receipts by refusing to export.
 Meanwhile, if you threaten your government's tax receipts, they arrest you. Lmao. Apex kek.

 

 There's a constant: american tax receipts are 19% of GDP. Anything that might push them higher instead leads to tax evasion or collapse of the taxed industry. The part of the laffer curve where revenue is going down is the whole white economy contracting. 

 Maybe experiment with a 19% flat tax, see where exactly the 19% cutoff is. Then realize you're already over the laffer hill, and 18% of a larger economy is a larger absolute number than the 19%. Lowering taxes is far more important than trying to find the least-criminal crime.

 

 Tariffs raise foreign production. First, they consume it locally, so there's more raw stuff in the previously-exporting country. Second, exports can no longer supply much forex for imports, so they produce whatever they used to trade for. Transportation is cheap because it's subsidized, meaning they're saving deadweight costs there too. The raw prices are higher but you get lower inflation and higher wages.

 Canadians should be ecstatic about the 25% tariff. "Can't it be 40%? Come onnnn!"

 The effect of titanic canadian tariffs on milk is Communist milk. E.g. in canada, dairy was one of the primary vectors of the novel coronavirus, because the factories live up to the standards we can expect from Communism. Along with being a vector for non-novel coronaviruses... If the tariff is high enough that it's banning the import, then the result is catastrophic. Big crimes are big bad. Who knew. 

 Massive sanctions on Russia.
 Result: massive economic growth in Russia.

 The transportation subsidy has the same perverted dynamic as tariffs. Much of the reason it's so hard to find local goods is because the government wants to maximize transportation subsidies paid. To expand the bureaucracy. The more ridiculous and inefficient the supply line, the better. Hence trucks not trains, for example.

 Instead of subsidizing imports and then collecting duties on the imports, simply cut the subsidy.

Billions in Negative Wisdom

 1) Any remotely [respectable] economist will tell you the amish live well below the poverty line. Negligible amounts of wealth.

 2) Random amish individuals are about as happy as billionaire americans.

 These facts together tell us this: americans have billions of dollars invested in negative wisdom. 

 Perhaps one in a hundred million have wisdom worth zero. In modern times, getting wisdom all the way up to [not holding you back] is a tremendous, heroic achievement.

 Naturally, I'm one in a billion or so. There are others. Fewer than 10. We're so hard to find that I would like to rank us (so I can get to #1 obvs) but I can't. The necessary information is not available. Also the others wouldn't care about the ranking, so it's quite pointless. Even more pointless: nobody but the other wisdom one-in-billionaires can even understand the ranking. "But what are you even measuring?" (Not that sub-billionaires are fluent enough to state their thoughts this clearly.)

 Check: amish [wisdom] amounts to what dark ages peasants thought was obvious. It can be considered a default. The free gift package. If you're doing worse than this, it is due to epic levels of villainy. Colossal, titanic investments in negative wisdom. 

 It bears repeating: a poor american is not merely poor. Including the intangible asset of wisdom, they are billions of dollars in the hole. Their net worth is Infernal. Have to dig a mohorovičić borehole to draw the line on the graph low enough.

The Sun is Female

 She is moody, variable, and she doesn't like it when you stare at her.

 Women follow men. They have a lunar cycle, following the steady, predictable, precise, clear moon, because they follow the masculine's lead. 

 The lesson here is that mortals are profoundly fond of embracing falsehoods. Cognitive health is abnormal. 

 Well, that or male mortals are feminine like the moon, and female mortals are masculine like the sun.

If trump doesn't get his fourth term y'all are fucked in four years

 'fourth' is not a typo by the way

 

 Who else you gonna elect? Maybe vance once, but it seems unlikely, and it only delays the inevitable.

 It's extremely simple. FDR got a third term. To unbugger the country you need four terms, minimum.

 Reminder that if public school is not abolished, it's nothing but palliatives. The kind of person who can do structural change is the kind of person who won't tolerate prostitute schools. Ideally it would happen on purpose, but anyone vaguely sane will make it happen by accident by chopping down all their pedophilic supports, causing a collapse cascade.

 In the long run the trumpenreich is also fucked. Politicians exist to humiliate. When humiliation of leftists runs dry, trumpistas will turn into rinos, who exist to humiliate the base. The game theory that led to rinos hasn't gone anywhere, and even if you slaughter them in concentration camps (good riddance) they will simply re-evolve. 

 More precisely, there will be some pushback to the trumpenreich, at some point. The form this takes, and how successful it is, will be extremely revealing. I'm wired in anticipation. Practically wired shut...

 POTUS has no power. Trump should have already known that, but he had it elaborately demonstrated to him by 2020, so he has figured it out. Insofar as his ideas were followed, it was unofficially, by officials who could have done it at any time but didn't have the guts to do it without a saviour running air cover.
 No legal power. This time, he's working around the legalities entirely. Just ignoring them. As was always necessary.
 Turns out if your EO is already carried out before the inevitable court challenge...it doesn't matter that the court would throw it out with extreme prejudice.
 Just need the people. Individuals willing to get shit done in, as the Communists say, a timely manner.
 The deep state is slow. The surface state is almost as slow. If you get it already done before the ethics committee has time to convene and scold you...the ethics committee doesn't matter anymore. 

 Personnel. What is it, dear audience? Policy.

Boolean Thinking vs. Santaism

 "This is a perfect example of what I'm going to start calling "Santaism," as in "believing that Santa brings infinity free goodies, therefore if you don't share your effortless, infinite wealth, you are a meanie." 

 "Believe it or not, leftoid mud goblins actually lack the cognitive ability to process thoughts like "white men or my family or whoever else I hate are actual humans"
https://twitter.com/ItIsHoeMath/status/1884696940488909177/

 More false than true. Classic midwit overcomplication.

 Men are stronger than women. This is a scalar comparison, but it's much cognitively simpler to have a boolean. 0=powerless, 1=omnipotent.

 In particular, if nobody does (or nobody should) listen to you, spending effort on nuanced opinions is a waste of time. Women round to the nearest boolean. Most peasants round to the nearest boolean.

 Since men are omnipotent, if they're not giving the woman nice things, it's solely out of spite. He has one thing, therefore he doesn't have zero things, therefore he has everything. If !=0, then 1, see? No matter how much he gives away, as long as he has one thing left, it's more than women have, therefore he's still omnipotent.

 "But lots of men say this too!"
 No. If she says this, she is a woman. Turns out the woke were right: there are female penises, it's merely not about declaration. It's about empirical behaviour. "Maybe he's lying!" Appealing to women by lying is extremely feminine. (Also, women without pussies are not sexy, unless you're a sodomite. Missing vital equipment...it's difficulty enough even with one...)

 

 "What about divorce-raped men?" Even after he's practically in debtor's prison, working three jobs just to keep up with the alimony payments, it's still the case that if other men don't stop him from welching on the payments, the woman can't do anything about it. It's all man-on-man action, the woman is a bystander. Heckler or kibbutzer at best. Men often don't appreciate this, but all women appreciate this viscerally. Men instead round the men letting themselves be manipulated by women into the woman's power. 

 

 Nobody knows if leftists (grass-monkey normal) lack the cognitive ability to process whatever, because they don't care to try. 
 Classic ~dissident~ cope. "Oh yes the leftists surely want to be nice, but they don't know how!" How sad. Tragic. It's especially funny when you get this stuff from a guy who says lefties are plain evil. As if that's unexpected for a mortal.

 Secondarily, the OP is correct. The point of trump and trumpism is to humiliate further-leftists. How nice of wokists to make themselves so vulnerable.

 If men aren't giving women everything, it's because daddy doesn't love her. She can't do anything about it except call daddy a poopyhead and cry. If that doesn't work, she's SOL. She already tried being nice, to the best of her ability, and it already didn't work. 

 This is reinforced by the obvious fact that her male progenitor really doesn't love her. Who can love a mortal? Not even god loves mortals.

Minimum Viable University Killshot

 If you want to kill the universities, you barely have to do anything.

Like, try just not giving them tax dollars...the first GONGO was harvard.

More importantly, legalize employment by IQ test. Let the [[resume]] be one line, your tested IQ, with a reference body to double-check with.
Making Firing Legal Again, so it's not critical to the business to avoid making bad hires. Which nobody can do. Especially not non-lords; everyone makes bad hires, and if you can't fire them, they destroy your business.

HR has to use universities to avoid being fired when they inevitably approve a bad hire. Make it so they don't have to be fired, because you can fire the bad hire. Make it so they can use a cheap, fast IQ test. You can get close enough in literally five minutes.
...then HR looks basically redundant.
...which is it, and always was. The ideal HR department is a dead weight. Most are worse.

Hmm...

 You hear about how comically bad the CIA is.

 You hear about how terrifyingly good the KGB is.

 You barely hear about MI6 at all...

Fifth Reich Defeated

 Around 1969, the new left, american communism 4, violently overthrew fdr's american communism 3. So that's what happened in 1971 - they got around to implementing their policies. 

 The new new left, or the ew left for short, believe the new left isn't wholly devoted to their lord and saviour, Satan. Which is true. The ew left tried to [new left] the new left.

 The thing is, Satan worship is bad for you. That's kind of the point. The Satanist worships failure, worships being a loser. The purer Satanist, like a more pious devout of any higher power, gets their prayers answered more often. Purifying it makes it even more purely bad for you. In Satanist on Satanist action, the more devout Satanist gets, uh, Trumped. 

 The new left was already as purely communist as it is possible to get away with. On purpose; by conscious design. Communism 5 was too communist to live, even on this hell planet, with this hell specie.
 You could tell it was going down when you heard of the world economic forum from a journalist. They failed the [show up in the news] test. Justice grinds slow and fine, and apparently also deep states, and communists who aren't quite as batshit insane as some other communists. 

 

 It is not unrelated that the ew left wanted to supply slightly more tyranny than americans demand. 

 Perhapskis we will see the new left sacrificing the new new left as an offering, to permit them to reverse civil rights. "It wasn't our mistake, they fucked it up for everyone." Probably not. Empires decay. The cancer is already very terminal. But it's not impossible.

No Whitepill: Still Not Deporting Retards

 America will still continue to reward ignorance, self-deception, foolishness, or malice pretending to be any of those. 

 Call me when you can get banned from X for the great insight that battle can lead to deaths. Yes, officer, that one: too stupid, speech rights revoked. 

 The low shall be high, the high shall be low. Wisdom, deftness, competence, will continue to be punished. It will remain a useless intellectual wasteland. No respect, only disrespect. Degeneration as highest virtue.

 Still Envy worshippers.
 Hatred isn't real. It would be better if it were.
 Spite is their blood, their bones, their soul. Disregard destruction, acquire treacherous torment.

Christians Want Rotherham Everywhere

 Let's stop pretending the christian races don't hate themselves, particularly their children. They're not mad rotherham happened, they're mad it happened only in rotherham.

 The IRA existing in living memory. The cop shop in rotherham is still standing. This latter fact is what's known as [consent]. They want their daughters raped. They like it when their daughters are raped. They're pissed it was only underclass daughters, and not everyone.

 The sexual assault rate in schools is roughly 40,000/100,000. It's 17,000/100,000 just from staff. This is too low for the christian races. They want to import pakistanis et al to bump that up. 

 Consider that BLM happened, and all of america could only muster one St. Rittens. Further, he almost went to jail. Almost certainly required divine abjuration. (Also, Rittens was not good enough. Even if everyone was a Rittens, it would not be good enough.) This is consent. Everyone knows Rittens is anti-american, but jailing him for his flagrant subversion was so profane the heavens wouldn't allow it.

 Christians do not think abortion is murder. They'll work harder to get begonias in the front yard than they will to prevent a [[[murder]]]. (Go ahead, mess with their ugly flowers, see what happens.) That, or they like murder. They want murder to be higher. 

 It's exactly like a woman; "No tall dark scary stranger, don't rape me, oh no no don't do it." (The man was trying to mind his own business. "Who is this bitch and why is she suddenly talking to me?" They have to get childish animals, or the manipulation is too crude to work.) 

 What christians object to is having fewer children to torture. The wrong of murder, some states believe, is less wrong than leaving them alive, so the murder has to go. 

 When the dad is arrested by rotherham cops for reporting underage actually-violent rape, he is grateful. "Sorry sorry I don't know what came over me." The cops are there to rescue him from his unreconstructed stone-age instincts.The dad got confused, and thought he might get censured for stripping all security from his daughter. Don't worry man, we gotchu. Nothing more than supply for demand.
  It's cope. Now the dad can believe he can claim [I tried my best].
 I would call them losers, but losing is the point. "Yes! Thank you for noticing!"

 

 Why do prepubescent english boarding school kids even think of buggery, lol? The buggery was the point. I wonder what went wrong? Perhaps the boys accidentally stopped buggering each other. "Wait...this is actually evil. Why don't I defend myself?" Too young to fully understand submission, see. Weren't soycialized enough yet. The sexual assault rate got lower than 90,000/100,000. Whoops, can't have that. "Let's try locking the boys up with girls and minimal supervision. Don't forget to rile them up with porn mags and bikinis." 

 

 Always remember, if your society is in decline, you don't deserve decline. You deserve worse.
 What's pissing you off: not receiving what you deserve. Work hard, I'm sure you'll get there.

RFK believes free speech isn't a right. As he shouldn't.

 "RFK just gave a flawless answer to Bernie Sanders asking if health care is a human right. Bet Sanders didn't expect an answer this intelligent... he interrupted RFK IMMEDIATELY. 

 "SANDERS: Is it a human right? Yes or no? 

 "RFK: In the way that free speech is? It's different, because free speech costs nothing. In health care - if you smoke cigs for 20 years, and you get cancer - you are now taking from the pool of resources..-" https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/1884650963140596219

 

 Free speech isn't free.
 Do you pay for your twitter server? lel

 Subsidized speech.
 [[[Free]]] publishing. 

 Even if you're only permitted to say whatever you want verbally, with your mouth, with your friends at the bar, you have to prosecute the bartender who throws you out. Which costs money. 

 Naturally this irrelevant eric loser, by quoting RFK, also believes this. He's just lying about it, because he believes (probably correctly) it's politically useful in the short term.

School is Hate

 Fasco-Communists, black governments, Nameless One worshippers, make a big deal about Hate. 

 What is it, really? Hate is when you are under the power of honourless evil. 

 If you're under the power of a honourable man who hates you, he will kill you. It won't suck for very long. 

 True Hate can only be received from madmen or the depraved. 

 In particular, schoolteachers. As a student, they have absolute power over your fate. You can't even go to the bathroom without explicit permission. Further and obviously, at best they don't care about you at all. Indeed it's clear that if you express joy, they get upset. Having fun? Getting along with your friends? Cut that out. Cut that out right now. 

  There's no need to demonstrate this is a major purpose of the school system. Ensure all children, when faced with at-best-indifferent masters, masters who are their enemies, the child feels despair. The child gives up, surrenders, doesn't even try to fight back. It must become an absolutely engrained habit. 

 Ironically, I have to say the system doesn't work. Personnel is policy. If the children weren't basically losers in the first place, it wouldn't function. It won't take root in anyone who wasn't born to submit. Almost all the hassle has no strategic function.
 It's done because children are born to folk to hate them, who want them to suffer. Naturally, such losers will hate themselves with unlimited passion. They have trouble tormenting themselves, as their own Darwinian instincts are in the way, so they outsource the torment to someone else, who can't flinch from the task. Likewise, they hate their children - the children remind the parents of themselves, as one does, but likewise, the parents can't easily torment the children.
 The point of school isn't to efficiently break any leftover bits of virtue. The point is that these masters are deranged and depraved. They want the agony to be as inefficient as possible. Any reasonable kid could absorb the whole k-12 curriculum in under two years? Yes. They know. They are well aware. That's why they want to push for pre-K. 

  True Hate can only be received from madmen or the depraved. However, they are weak. You don't need training to beat a madman in a fight, you need training to lose to a madman in a fight. Unless you're a true degenerate, a garbage slime in human form.

 School looks like it works, because schoolchildren grow up to be politicians on twitter. Arguing that their masters should show them Hatred in a different way. "Massa massa that's too much hatred! How are you supposed to go on hating us if we don't reproduce? Think of the birf rate!" It never occurs to them that it's possible to swear fealty to a master who doesn't Hate them. 

 Seemingly never occurs to them. Go ahead and tell one in words. It's not like they'll experience a lightning bolt of inspiration. A master who didn't despise them wouldn't serve their goals. It would not supply their demands. What a pointless suggestion. Hence: voting. ¡Jeb!

Manifestation of Revenge is Sour in Degeneracy

 Normally, one believes the γαυς were let out of the closet, and therefore all positive male interaction was sexualized. (gamma alpha upsilon sigma) Men now had to explicitly [no homo] any indication of approval or affection...or rather, most can't be arsed, so no positive interaction is now possible.

 That's backwards, isn't it? It's not that γαυς were let out of the closet and now everyone is γαυ, it's that everyone got γαυ, therefore γαυs were let out of the closet. "Eh, why bother?" and they no longer did. 

 Voters, women, and peasants lack masculinity.  φαγγωτς
 Civilization believes it has no use for males.

 Hitler's communists bullied minorities because they believed getting bullied maximizes suffering. They lost because they were deeply mistaken. Obviously bullying the majority on behalf of some tiny minority causes far more suffering. Especially if the minority is deeply diseased, incapable of satisfaction. 

 When you're already kind of γαυ, what happens if a man gives you a compliment? You start developing feelings. If you don't want to be γαυ, you have to tell him "that's γαυ," projecting the issue. Being harsh with your friends cunts becomes a norm. Because you're all γαυ cunts. 

 The strategy is to use all the harsh language as a "joke" that nobody could possibly take seriously. But isn't a lot easier if you're a total cunt for real? Why make them go to all the effort to come up with fake insults when you can inspire real ones? You are here.

 Degeneracy.

Politicians 101

 Politicians lie. 

 They tell whatever lie they need to support their own selfish interests. 

 They are venal, interested only in humiliation. 

 For example, they like money because it can humiliate other politicians who have less money. They like sex because the politician can brag about buying sex when the other guy has to do without.

 Because they're interested in humiliation, mere greed is a mere means. The end is humiliating their opponents. Their political rivals have the exact same set of desires, but a competing resource base with which to buy humiliation. 

 For example, it is not hard to make both the countryside and the cities richer at the same time. It's called production and trade. However, politicians are actively against anything which makes their rivals richer, even if it has no effect on them personally. Keep in mind that destruction is cheaper than creation. Both countryside politicians and city politicians try to buy creation for their own base and destruction for the other side, but destruction is cheaper. They successfully buy far more destruction than creation, and the result is the society as a whole loses.

 The correct thing for a society to do is ostracize the politicians. Let them keep whatever they've seized, but let them destroy each other, as they will do if nobody props them up. Once they wipe themselves out, re-expand into the empty space, retaining the strict anti-politician laws. 

 What in fact happens is everyone, as if in a drug-fuelled frenzy, eyes dialated, nobody home, joins in the politicking. 

  Everyone on twitter is a politician. They're just lying. If they're not lying, it's merely a coincidence. The truth happens to align with the lie they were going to tell anyway. If it associates truth with politicians, so much the worse for poor truth. 

 Democracy is about dragging everyone into politics, doing the exact opposite of outlawing it. 

 Politicians lie. They get into the habit of lying, and aren't trustworthy even to each other. If, in an orgy of violence, the city destroys the countryside, the city politicians will immediately fracture into fractions, so they can have someone new to humiliate. At any time a politician can't attack some distant politician, they will immediately attack a close politician. They are genuine, physiological, literal addicts. They cannot help themselves. 

 Let me emphasize; it's not merely that they serve their own interests. They are only attracted to serving their interests at your expense. If it doesn't cost you anything, they find it repulsive.

 There is no such thing as a politician with principles, any more than heroin addicts have meaningful principles. If it gets them the hit, they do it. That is, unless you count [injecting heroin] as a principle. Likewise, politicians are very very principled about [kto kovo]. They hate, they loathe, the win-win.

 If you want to know why a politician is jonesing for this thing or that thing, follow the money. Works 100% of the time. 200% of the time. They know this too, which is why they haven't already told you how they get paid. Please note that if you see a christian who is not a politician, they are christianing wrong. Testable: you can correct them if you like. They will appreciate you setting them on the proper path of addiction. Also true of buddhists, hindus, etc etc. Any religion that shows up in wikipedia is merely a political group, like a reverse alcoholics anonymous. Anti-anonymous, and trying to get you in as deep as possible. Indeed, the reason christians came up with AA is because they don't like it when booze competes for the addiction slot.

 Oh hey I just figured out why schedule 1 drugs are illegal. The world is not a mysterious place. 

 Politicians like taxes, as opposed to trade, precisely because taxes are traitorous. Deviant, defective. Farmers could get more money by selling a better product, but to a politician, it is dramatically preferable to get more money by selling a worse product and taking tax dollars instead. Thus automatically creates competing interests, so they can humiliate the competitor. The farm bill takes tax dollars from the city, from corporations, and gives it to the countryside. Various industry [protections] and [unions] take wealth from the city and give it to factories. Hence, farms have to be shut down. Hence, factories have to be offshored. So that the political rivals in universities or whatever can get that sweet sweet hit of heroin. Or literally cocaine sometimes.

 

 

 The worst part is the lying is all completely pointless. You can sort of see a point in academic debates because it can make unaffiliated undergrads join your lab instead of your rival's. In politics, self-absorbed-interest is determined by circumstances. You can't lie so hard a city-dweller thinks they live on a farm and get paid for vegetables. You can't lie so hard a crime-and-welfare wokist thinks they work in a factory. You can't lie so hard an IRS agent doesn't know they can embezzle more money if there are more residents. Paul Fussel and Shakespeare mention this. Much sound and fury, signifying nothing. Tremendous struggle for status, with not a single shred of gain to show for it; net worth is a genetic trait.

 The lying poisons the well, uglifies the tellers, and has no purpose beyond these negative side effects. Or rather, the hideous side-effects are the point. Homo sapiens is truly revolting.

 Even those undergrads are worthless. If they can't be tricked, they join the highest-status or richest lab they can find, regardless of debates. If a debate sways them, they are gullible morons, easily a net burden on your lab. 

 Debates could have a point. First it's necessary to be rid of the politicians.

Yes, IQ is Trainable

 I found the test. My wordsum is only 140, 150 high. It's not like 180+ high. My vocabulary, while hardly small, is disappointing to me.

 Thus, yes, I am the first person to write down the effective IQ-raising regimen. I'm sure I'm far from the first to discover it, but I'm the first person to post it in public. Training works, provided you train properly. Yes, all knowledge is domain knowledge, but you can train in the domain of domains, thus get knowledge applicable to all domains. And practice makes you faster.

 It would truly be an earth-shattering development...if anyone wanted to be smarter. It's not a small change either. Handily passes the guillotine criterion, no need for a high powered statistical study to detect the effect. No [number needed to treat], or rather, NNT is one. I punch three, maybe four standard deviations above my weight class. 

 I'm not merely good at warfare strategically. Given time to train, my army would have a 30, 40 point IQ advantage. It would be like fighting divine messengers. Imagine everyone at spacex, but 45 points smarter. Space: suddenly too cheap to meter.

 Instead, they are religious fanatics, and they worship stupidity. This is nothing but the worst heresy. 

 The only reason I can scoop this patent is because nobody else wanted it. Across thousands of years I have no competitors.

 I could even train my vocabulary, but haven't. I would have to take time away from training upkeep on something important. Enough other parts of my cognition are no longer disappointing.

 I'm shocked that science is a thing. Worshipping stupidity is not new. What happened? How did they get around it?
 My first hypothesis is that they believed Science opposes Religion, and gathering profanity opposing Holy Truth was the point. They eventually realized that christianity is profane, as opposed to science, and were horrified by what they had done. Now they repent ferociously.
 My second hypothesis is that some god coerced advancement through divine force of will, but inevitably became exhausted. Even gods can't afford to overturn the natural order.

 Meanwhile everyone still christian is christian precisely because they know it is profane. They believe this particular lie offers the best camouflage. That other lies are too easy to see through. 

 Partly I developed the IQ training because (almost uniquely) I want to be smarter. Mainly it was to prove that nobody else wants to be smarter. Anyone who claims to want to raise the waterline is lying. Advancing the sum total of human knowledge is not a real drive. To the contrary, more ignorance more better. Sometimes they feel forced to advance military technology to not die, either by their Darwinian reflexes or because you can't spread lies, treachery, and desecration if you're dead.

 

 It post is my third most popular post. This means not quite 3000 hits. That caps how popular becoming more virtuous can be. Here's your upper bound. Also, among those 3000, only the author has carried out the protocol. There are some who have perhaps carried out the protocol (hans herman hoppe), but they invented it themselves before I wrote my post. So there's that. 

 Imagine a demon who offers you power. Now instead imagine a demon who offers to unleash your own power rather than letting you borrow theirs. Imagine they make the offer in a way that lets you do it for free. No payment.
 And homo sapiens is all like, "Nah, I'm good." 

 These days, I have tremendous respect for anyone who sells their soul for power. The rest are split into those who sell their soul for a peso and some pocket lint, and those who sell their soul specifically so they can sell their power also. 

 "So, Mr. Devil, selling you my soul will not only render me unable to use the fantastic powers you allegedly offer, but also shut down the powers I was born with? Sweet! Where do I sign!?!?"   <== that is the normal, expected baseline.

 

 

 The other thing is that, although there are other brights, none of them are bright enough to understand the value of forming a pack. Seem to be stuck as loners. Training could fix this, but if they were still willing to train, they would have already done it.

Peasants Must, But Can't, Replace the Czars & Religious Devotion to Getting Parasitized

 Personnel is policy. Hiring and immigration remain in the hands of personnel who truly hate deprecated americans. If the deprecated manage to stop letting them express their hate through undercaste indians, they will express it some other way. Supply will meet demand. With no hysteresis, as they are in charge of supplying their own demand. 

 Peasant thinking. When the slave complains, it's a backhanded compliment. "You are whipping me just like I want, master." The peasant complains the same way the body reflexively displays pain.

 However, an arm, no matter how much it hurts, can't replace the brain and won't try. If an arm tried to Exit and replace the brain, it would become paralyzed. The heart and lungs also can't replace the brain. The arm would die of starvation and suffocation. Either the heart and lungs join the rebellion and become paralyzed killing everyone, or they get ostracized by the rebellion, to the rebellion's detriment. These facts are so deeply embedded it's hard to think about, hard to pay attention to. If the arm insists on a fight, the arm is amputated, not the brain.

 The peasant, likewise, takes their lord as granted. If the lord hates the peasant, well, sucks to suck. If the peasant could get a better lord he wouldn't be a peasant, he would be a freeman. Typically, unable to address the situation, the peasant will cope, saying the lord hates the peasant due to the peasantry deserving hatred. This starts a slow slide toward becoming a slave. Some deprecated americans have completed the transmutation. To be specific, enough of them.

 The immigration and hiring dons hate americans, but I find them disgusting. Fear vs. repulsion. Not the same.
 Lords don't hate peasants. They have nothing to fear from peasants - regardless of any ratios. 100:1, 1000:1, 10,000:1, doesn't matter. If the peasant start something, the peasant will lose. Peasants know this in their bones. One reason you don't want to keep slaves is that they also know this in their bones, and will try things specifically so that they may lose.

 Much of the issue in [civilization] is needing more lords than there are, and raising non-lords into positions of lordship. Civilization breeds more peasants and slaves, because the black masters, the psycho lords, don't like lordly competition. Hiring and immigration are lordly tasks, tasked to non-lords who are consistently overwhelmed. Skills do not and cannot match the requirements. If they started healthy, the stress drives them crazy. Seeing this, most who have the opportunity won't take it unless they're already very unhealthy. 

 

 Note, when you're about to do something dumb, you don't get phantom physical pains. It doesn't look into the future, only the now. The brain has to effortfully and intentionally imagine future pain resulting from bad plans. 

 Likewise the peasant, when embarking on a terrible plan, such as 1776, thinks everything is hunky dory. See also: 1861, 1939. See also: 1970s, 1980s. It doesn't hurt. Yet.
 When the pain arrives, the body and the peasant have no idea how it came about. It only knows the brain fucked up. Except, of course, psycho lords don't care about their body. Unlike a physical body, if you decapitate an america, the head survives. The psycho lords are very very aware of this, but the peasants are not. The psycho lords take an aspirin and ignore it. If they get an ulcer, they can fire the stomach. Which is why 1776 was such a bad idea. "Our parasites are different." No, actually. Turns out replacing your brain with a parasite leads to poor thinking.

 Democracy in particular makes peasantry intolerable for healthy lords. The peasants refuse to swear fealty or pay tribute. They won't even offer respect, let alone cash and obedience. Even if a lord wanted to steal peasants from the psycho lords, he wouldn't, because unlike a peasant he is not a mental cripple. The peasants can't even be forced to organize. 

 Democracy is supposed to be about serving the selfish interests of the voters. Whatever they want, they get, with only other voters as a check. It's supposed to be tyranny of the majority. In Reality, it's nothing but another form of the iron law of oligarchy. Tyranny of the minority, just like every form of black government.
 Peasants could in theory force the tyrant to at least throw a bone towards salus populi, but this would mean admitting it's about their own selfish desires. Millennia of religion, which they have enthusiastically or even desperately embraced, telling them not to do that. Being racist is supposed to be bad because it's selfish. Being selfish is considered so bad it can't even be used directly as political cudgel. Too hot to touch.

Google is Tax Funded

 Ads don't work. Advertisements are laundered taxes or bribes. If ads worked you could sell ads better than google and steal their business. What google actually sells is Regime goodwill. You need permission to funnel cash to Regime head honchos, sinecures, and apparatchiks, and to get that permission you have to be deep inside the Regime, already getting your own kickbacks. No voter or anyone remotely similar can compete with google.

 It's low-key insulting that the parent company for google is [alphabet], as in alphabet soup agency. Yeah, thanks for rubbing our faces in it. Cia agent eric schmidt keeping everything...aligned, lel. Local commissar.

 Likewise, facebook is nothing but a pentagon asset. I expect the cia owns apple. Dunno who owns amazon, but it's 100% alphabet soup. Maybe netflix is owned by the atf. It smells like b-tier pentagon to me. These are not private companies. Microsoft was private but is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the state department; kudos to gates for crashing the Regime gates (he probably regrets succeeding). These are not private companies. 

 Communist countries do not permit anything larger than a mom-and-pop to be a private company. And the fact they have to permit those to be private, due to the hassle of trying to scheme with them, is why they keep trying to drive them out of business.
 Why, one of them might spill the beans. You can't ship them all to epstein's island. Even the google panopticon can't provide that level of industrial-scale blackmail.

 Naturally, teslas are only remotely competitive with ice cars due to huge subsidies. Musk did not afford to build the charger network, the taxpayer built it for him. Likewise spacex is almost entirely based on government contracts. Space is largely unprofitable. It's a white elephant, it exists for the purposes of veblenian consumption, hence in a Communist country it's a luxury only the government can afford. 

 They are not [capitalist]. They are GONGOs. Google was venture funded by larry fink's predecessor. And, again, whose money these folk represent is not public knowledge. The job of fink is like potus; to take the blame.

 

 Speaking of wholly owned subsidiaries, musk is a wholly owned subsidiary. He's merely in a different deep state faction than the ones you're used to. If some rando tried to buy twitter, it wouldn't have worked. The SEC practically forced the purchase down musk's throat because the deeper state realized they don't want a monoculture media farm. 

 As in, genuine dissent still gets you banned. There are no right-wingers on twitter. There are no genuine dissidents on twitter. Every government, even the mythical white government, absolutely retains the ability to suppress any and all subversion. E.g. a great way to get my blog shut down would be to acquire an audience. I would have to start worrying about mossad deciding to do mossad things to find my legal name, to ensure they could shut it down even if I self-hosted on my own private urbit server or whatever.

 Not only can non-swamp subjects not compete, messing with these major three-letter companies constitutes a [national security] threat, legally authorizing whatever dishonourable, traitorous black ops they happen to feel like carrying out against you. 

 In a related note, being able to defraud the popular vote genuinely is a national security interest for the Regime. If your vote counted, the government would collapse as a direct result. Honest voting is not something the Regime can withstand. 

 

 Draining the swamp is a ludicrous idea. It's not merely that you have to depopulate the district and lustrate langley. You have to shut down silicon valley. You have to keelhaul hollywood, then trash every TV and retire every radio broadcaster. You have to shut down all assembly-line manufacturing. You have to shut down every commercial farm. Everyone at lockheed and boeing have to live the rest of their lives in jail.

 America is one giant swamp. Maybe it has a few hillocks here and there poking out of the water, but the total area of true land is well under 10%. When he lived, satan was well pleased, inasmuch as he was capable of feeling anything except self-hatred.

Le Deeper History

 New theory or new myth? I'm going with it regardless.

 China-style government causes ninjaification. You can already see problems cropping up after 1s of thousands of years. It will be obvious after 10s of thousands. They will become first india 2.0, then africa 2.0 This process is irreversible, as we'll see. 

 Fire was invented about four million years ago, and made ergaster evolve into erectus. Throwing was invented about two million years ago, and made erectus evolve into sapiens. The oldest known sapiens remains are about 200,000 years old, and ice ages only last about 100,000 years.

 Weird that sapiens waited 190,000 years before coming up with civilization? It's not weird, because it didn't happen. There have been several global high-tech civilizations. The remains of which were wiped out when the ice age came. 

 There were in fact numerous varieties of sapiens-tier homo before the ice age, but all of them except the africans and one other were wiped out, mildly by climate and mainly by infighting and sudden black government collapses. (Global warmists dimly recall getting massacred by glaciers. Ancestral memory. Then get confused because ice ninja instead of tropical ninja.) Neanderthal was always polar homo and simply expanded south. ("More for us.") Africans are not native to africa, they are colonists from some ice-buried zone. They are degenerate because the pre-ice civilization had a black, china-style government. Black government causes ninjaification. 

 Colonial america farmed by exhausting the farmland, then clearing more so as to exhaust that too. This sort of behaviour is what leads to dust bowls. Indeed americans still behave this way if they can at all get away with it, such as the recent AI craze having polluted the AI-training well. Likewise, all black governments function by exhausting their host race, then attempting to move onto the next one. Which is a problem when there is no next one. 

 The ninjaified race does not recover. Against almost any kind of environmental challenge, it doesn't adapt, it just dies. It is soft. It can only survive on life support. Can only walk with crutches. If it isn't easy, the remnant race can't do it. See also: political or war challenge. There used to be a tiny elite that maintained civilizational life support for the slave base, but statistically they didn't make it; with a global ice age, there was nowhere to run, nowhere to defect to. Quite possibly they weren't even sapiens, but some of kind of elf slavemaster. They, too, required supports to live, in the end. They needed their slaves, but couldn't retain control of them in the chaos. Whoops.

  None of them could survive in the wild. (In modern times, you may be able to bring to mind an example of this. One or two.) Thus [out of africa] - the one place sapiens didn't wipe itself out.

 Rather than recovering, the ninjaified race hybridized with barbarian neanderthal, revitalizing the genome to some degree. Enough to get tax-farmed back down to uselessness, anyway.

Term Limits Explicitly Deepen a State

 Pretending for a moment POTUS is anything other than an indicator light on a particular polling methodology...

 You have [power], but you're not allowed to run for a third term. What do you do? Get your protege elected. Your padawan, who hangs on your every word. Result: responsibility laundering. You are making all the decisions, some other bastard/sucker is taking all the blame. 

 Your padawan runs out of term limit. What do you do? You graduate from master to grandmaster. He gets his protege to be POTUS, and you can half-retire, retaining true power without all that icky [coming to work] nonsense.
 Your padawan has been trained. He knows what you want and how to get it. He can instruct the next POTUS on all the minutiae without you having to do it personally. He knows hillary will be told he has materials that might lead to her arrest, if he doesn't. And there's always epstein.

 Term limits were introduced specifically to spark this dynamic. Nobody can demand the grandmaster doesn't [[retire]] - it's illegal not to, lol. Nobody can shackle you to the POTUS white elephant.

 Since POTUS doesn't have power this is a toy model. Although a toy, it's almost isomorphic to whatever seats do in fact have power. If it's good enough for POTUS, it's good enough for the general secretary for energy or whatever, now isn't it? The kings of america's 500 kingdoms have all installed their proteges to do their bidding without the king himself having to go to the office. Or, god forbid, show up in the news. If voters need to know your name, you're doing it all the way wrong. If voters even can know your name, you're a prole.

Mars and Regime Completeness

 The failed Alchemists thought the philosopher's stone was a red, physical mineral that could be precipitated from some solution or another. 

 Musk believes it's a red philosopher's planet. Physically reaching mars will allow him to achieve spiritual transcendence, see.

 Deep sea or underground colonies would achieve 100% of what musk wants to physically achieve. Not to mention being excellent practice for deep space colonies. He's not interested in those. They aren't red. Can't possibly be philosopher's stones. It's not [reaching the heavens], see.

 It is unlikely but not impossible that musk will achieve mars colonies. However, the result will be viking new world 2.0. Something for the second arrivals to curiously ponder. Egalitarian civilization will die under musk, cutting off the supply lines long before the colonies achieve self-sufficiency. The cancer of black government has already metastasized, already reached stage 4.

 Cancer treatment at society-scale includes the possibility of testing each cell for cancerousness and killing it individually. An affordable process. For reference, five hundred million mammal cells fits in ball about four inches across, somewhat bigger than a baseball. Like treating advanced cancer in a gerbil that can be dismantled and re-assembled with minimal harm. Would be trivial if society-scale cancers didn't have their own immune system and will cheerfully burn the host to charcoal before they let themselves get treated. Unlike travel to mars, all components of this treatment have been done before.

Upper vs. Lower Conflict in Gender Norms

 The upper classes know that gender norms fill needs. Having overtly fluid gender norms allows the upper classes to play lots of amusing games. Lots of good role-play jokes and such. Normally they will ensure the inegalitarian needs get filled one way or another, and when they don't, rather than being a problem, it's a problem member confessing to their inadequacy. They get filtered. Likewise, anyone gauche enough to have to admit to secret inegalitarian habits is too gauche to bother with. 

 This is catastrophic for the lower classes, but so what? Getting up for work is catastrophic for the lower classes. All of their family lines are doomed anyway, in the long run. Who cares? Never forget upper class populism, especially any kind of salus populi, is 110% fake. Public health initiatives are tax frauds, lol. Graft. [Be a net tax consumer, at industrial scale.]
 America needs world reserve currency status so this tax farming isn't a class self-own. The lower classes don't have any money to pay taxes with...

 When you try to enforce norms functional for the lower classes, you're rightly called a stick in the mud. Because you're calling them stupid. They know about the gender needs and they're seeing to them, and you're being too dense or autistic to notice. Admittedly at this point the upper classes are so rarefied I'm not sure they have gatherings bigger than a dinner party. Can it be called a class when it's so incoherent and atomized? 

 It's not really class warfare. The lower classes can stop Pridefully pretending to be part of the upper classes, trying to follow their norms, at any time. It's not illegal to see a hostile foreign influence that looks at you with contempt as being foreign and hostile, thus cutting off the influence.
 Though of course Revenge is Sour. They receive contempt because they're too incompetent to protect themselves from the contempt; if they could protect themselves there would be no hazard they need protection from. If an alleged lower class could give up Pride, could stop deserving catastrophic distortion sourced from the upper classes, would they really be a lower class member?

The America Byzantium Connection

 Byzantium was largely the way it is due to the internal pressures of a parasitic cancerous black government.

 Thus america is largely the same way. 

 For example, the reason byzantine politics was so byzantine was due to having to hide from their political opponents. Traitors and parasites can't secure their shit without cutting off their own supply, but it's hard to counter what they're doing if you can't figure what they're doing or why they're doing it. Security by obscurity is the highest form they can aspire to.

 Can't shove the next pig over off the pig trough if you can't see they already have their snout buried in there.

 Lots of doublespeak and excessively elaborate sophistication accomplishes this camouflage. In byzantium, and in washingtium. (Brainwashington?) Thus the CIA funds cutouts of cutouts of cutouts of cutouts. They are, indeed, behind seven proxies, and ideally the proxies act as if independent individuals - being linked to the cat's paw organization constitutes a major secrecy failure. 

 

 P.S. Don't confuse this for competent plotting. They regularly get tangled in their own webs. Reach beyond their own cognitive grasp. However, that risk is lower than the risk that their competitors will figure out how to sabotage them on purpose. I mean...just tell whoever they're betraying that they're betraying them, lol, destroying the false trust. So easy.

Being Explicit: Establishment of Authority

 You should already know, but it helps a lot to say these things out loud, and it hasn't been done before. Assumptions are kept implicit on purpose to protect them from legitimate challenges, except when I don't permit them to be kept implicit.

 There are two major modes of establishing authority, depending on whether there is a higher authority. 

 If there is no higher authority, then establishing authority is warfare. You do whatever it takes, or rather whatever you are willing to do and can afford, and the other side sees identical constraints. Whoever wins seizes the authority. The loser can surrender or die. There is a third option, detente; if neither side can afford to seize the whole jurisdiction, it can be partitioned. 

 If there is a higher authority, you either have to declare war and contest its claim, or accept that claim and work within the bounds set by that authority. If you take a job, the job's authority is deputized from the higher authority, and it behooves you not to challenge the authority on which your own depends. In this case, basically establishing authority is still warfare. If someone who is supposed to be a subordinate tries to rebel, you must use force against them. However, it is limited warfare, usually sharply limited. Since you must respect the higher authority, it also behooves you to understand exactly what the higher authority believes the limits are. If a subordinate cannot be controlled within those limits, then send the issue up the chain. 

 If the higher authority refuses to be clear on those limits, try running. Screaming also encouraged. Sprint for the hills. Alternatively, declare war on the higher authority.
 Such ambiguities are profoundly disqualifying. Wholly illegitimate. Pure, absolute profanity. The alleged high is already low, so ask the heavens to let you help realign spiritual reality and physical appearances.

Non-Ancap Hallucinating an Ancap Argument

 "Especially critical of those that hold to the NAP(non aggression principle), which is political and sociological nonsense."
 https://twitter.com/GraniRau/status/1867325542149894394/

 This is not an argument, so let me provide the argument. The first issue with aggression is that traitors will lie. They will tell you that you are the aggressor, or they will tell you it's not aggression, they're doing it [for your own good]. Hence you need a higher power to define aggression and definitively determine the traitor is the liar. A higher power or pope is certainly not classic anarcho-capitalism. They take a corporeal god for granted. 

 The other solution solving the non-aggression pact is a well-written contract defining aggression in advance. Then revenge is sour and personnel is policy. When two verbally deft adults can come together and agree like that, they're cooperators, not traitors. Nobody was going to try to solve disputes with defection in the first place.

 As a distant second, it deprecates aggression, which is feminine in the worst way. Which is why I call it treachery instead. This also highlights the fact you shouldn't need to define it. Not exactly rocket science. Nobody should have to come together and write up an anti-treachery pact...and yet, here we are. This is homo sapiens. Have you met one before?

 "but the state is what defines property."
 (don't let the state define property - yes it does, but only for slaves and peasants)
 "You say some bit of land or a building or a resource belongs to you, what exactly makes that so? The social framework that established property, that defines and protects your rights."
 https://twitter.com/GraniRau/status/1867325544724877611/

 Incorrect. Yes, that is classic ancap, and that's why I'm a meta-rothbardian. What defines property is security. The capacity for defensive violence. 

"an outsider doesn't care about your internal rules and customs." Or, more importantly, a traitor doesn't care, unless he actively enjoys transgression. Which is why you need a gun or a mercenary. Always build a fence, either abstractly or very literally.

 
 "Point is you don't get an individualist and anarchist basis for property rights."
 https://twitter.com/GraniRau/status/1867325547157532950

Whoopsie doodle! Conquest's first law: try to stay in your lane and not talk shit you don't know anything about!

 "And that means force is what keeps your property from being taken."
 [...]
 
 "Aggression claimed the property in the first place."
 https://twitter.com/GraniRau/status/1867326829947695531

 When I pick up a rock and it becomes mine, it's aggression. Violence! Crime! I stole that rock! (From the earth or something?)
 Proudhon, is that you?
 "In a way the leftists are honest in connecting property and theft."
 Oh hey, it is.

 "You occupied the place, declared it yours, meaning aggression toward anyone else that may want it."
 Here, a heathen delights in using Satan's language.
 Bro, ask Odin about what you just said...
 (It's funny because I'm dead serious.)
 The point is if they try to take your property, they are the aggressor and you're not, regardless of what you do to them to make them stop. If you deliberately misunderstand this point, you're hallucinating. Arguing against a phantasm conjured into a fever dream.

A Mother Worries Pointlessly

 The next entry on the genetic bugs series.

 Women worry, but there's no reason for them to. It's entirely a waste of time and effort. She can't protect her children from any real dangers. If a bear threatens them, all that will happen is she'll get eaten first, with the babe as desert. The things she can [[protect]] her children from are things she shouldn't protect them from. She can protect them from maturity or independence. In divorce-happy countries, she can protect them from having a father or money. She can protect them from risk and failure, thus protecting them from having skills or growth.

 A pile of pointless pain. Worse than pointless, as this is one of the few female emotions that inspire something other than maudlin whining. It inspires real, but harmful, action.

 Recalling again this is due to aeons of dysgenic marriages arranged by men. There were women that didn't suck so hard, but they were shafted on the husband market. 

 Since women physically or psychologically can't take responsibility, her husband is responsible for ensuring all her worry-induced sabotage is suppressed. Generally he has to be proactive and successfully predict it. It helps to be manipulative. Don't tell her you're suppressing her worries because woman, distract and discombobulate her, make it seem like it's [helping] or whatever. She should never find out that you hold her worrying in contempt, or she'll get passive-aggressive and hide her self-absorbed [accidental] sabotage worse than she already does. In a majority of families, the mother dying in childbirth is one of the best possible events, ensuring their future prosperity.

 

 Imagine a species where the mother wasn't one of the major hazards children need to protect themselves against. 

 See also: get her pregnant again, so she's too busy to bother the weaned children. Ensure her daughters start getting pregnant by the time she hits menopause and can't get pregnant anymore, then get her completely absorbed with dealing with the grandchildren. 

 P.S. Men of course also have many harmful instincts, but unlike women, can control themselves. Unlike peasants, men will control themselves.

Rectified Medical Specialists

 If you pay the medicine man when you get sick, the doctor wants you to get sick as often as possible. Ideally, to get sick and stay sick. Sales as a service, uh I mean medicine subscription, no, wait hold on I lost it.

 If you pay the medicine man when you're well and stop paying when you're sick, you want to get healthy as quickly as possible and he wants you to get healthy as quickly as possible, so you can start paying him again. 

 It's obvious, honestly. Nobody who spent more than ten seconds of thought on this would ever do it the first way, unless they wanted their quacks to make them as sick as possible. Nevertheless, I'm told the second way was first invented by traditional chinese medicine. Good for them.

 If you stop paying when sick, then you don't need [[health insurance]]. The treatment itself doesn't cost you anything. 

 Of course, those who refuse to buy into the system and get sick would have to pay full price, and they wouldn't have any money. They would stay sick and/or die. Naturally this is a feature, not a bug. The demographic that will complain anyway is highly predictable...

 Speaking of features with poor optics, if the treatment is expensive, the patient old, and the prognosis poor, the medic may choose to forgo treatment. What if we just let old folks die of old age instead of paying zillions to stuff them full of tubes and then they die anyway.
 If the patient is never going to be well again, the medic has no incentive to treat. 

 As usual, peasants need a lord. You can work this stuff out in the fine print, but the peasant becomes cognitively overloaded. His lord should do the negotiation on his behalf, inform him when he's likely to regret his health choices, tell him what conditions are covered and what isn't, and generally navigate the system on the peasant's behalf.
