I only weight 177.8 lb

Do you guys have some kind of policy platform that you're attempting to develop or implement

I mean, is this 100% shitposting, or can I talk about how regulation of electric utilities should work

and serious accusations toward Prozak

Hebrews in Egypt is a great story. Not only political and social, but also personal drama.

what do you have to lie about?

same as law.

depends on who you're working for and how you do it. But we broadly deserve our bad reputation ha

another evil profession vaguely implies non-evil professions. But I don't really disagree about employment.

neat

say more bands

like Liturgy?

Cool article. I listened to Nespithe yesterday, unrelatedly.

sad!

The naturalistic or stoic principle would more reasonably lead you to eat locally / hunt / homestead your own food since you're living more within the natural cycle and in accordance with your biology

taylor swift's only distinction is the dubious honor of exemplifying how modernist degeneracy turns women into vapid whores fixated on ephemeral male attention as a way to pretend to themselves that they have some value or purpose.

she does it through terrible songwriting though

"standing in a nice dress"

good night, alt right

I'm going to bed soon

do you guys ever get frustrated that FERC won't just fucking say what is or is not an LEO

it's like why have a regulatory state at all if it's going to play hide the ball

wait is the thesis that Beethoven Brahms and other euros wmploying polyrhythm got it from black folk music?

is she still underage

political corruption?

seems like putin should just revive the title of tsar for himself

but a push toward diversity is the outgrowth of a fundamental lack of understanding of how culture/identity and inter-group interactions develop

how to ensure each following generation maintains that truth with vigilance?

evil invaders article is good

finally, an alt-righter with a god damn policy position

It seems like it should be obvious that to get ahead (barring big inheritances, jewish nepotism, etc) you have to do things in a way that other people aren't.

Like not spending all your money on alcohol and car payments, for example

There are plenty of reasons to do it, synergistically. And different measurements of "ahead."

That's what I do.

Especially if your professional community or town is small, like mine. Nobody but my wife knows my political thoughtcrimes.

Is that End of History?

what is wrath of gnonism

ah. thanks.

let me try

THEM: code of chivalry

US: code of hammurabi

my new idea is to become skilled with tools

you'll never remove 100 millions. You need policy that creates asymmetrical incentives. For example, offer better tax incentives for people who have kids. People who don't pay taxes will receive no value for tax breaks. People who pay taxes will be incentivized to have kids.

create employment laws that favor natives or make hiring immigrants difficult. then migrants remove themselves

remove the "family" allowances from immigration laws - if you come, that doesn't give your family a free pass in

let them pay for their own removal and count themselves happy to leave

culture war must be fought parallel to this obviously since politics is downstream

I don't think you're wrong. I would be happy with removal if that's the way things went.

Maybe elsewhere. In the US, there will be no removal. It would be the most extreme and unthinkable thing that has happened here. More extreme than Lincoln freeing slaves.

The nation doesn't have the stomach for it. If there is a clash, white america will just put them in jail and prison companies will profit. Their families will be free.

Not but if you imagine them reasonably those preconditions are hundreds of years away. It's not in the DNA of american law. How would we do it? We have to prove the guilt of each person, because they have guaranteed "rights" and it's worse if they are citizens because then we would not remove them we'd just jail them.

We know how to fight an army but we have no tools to fight corruption from within because we pretend everyone is equal and of equal worth

Maybe other nations could do it. I don't know.

have any of you guys ever read "The Masks of God" by Campbell

i'm in the middle of it right now. Enjoying it a lot. Not directly alt-right or anything but certainly informative

my fiance does medical malpractice litigation and has a lot of really interesting insights into this field

she's really pessimistic too

doctors don't know you by name because general practitioners are dying out and the field is fracturing into nothing but specialist doctors who see endless patients

It's partially and indirectly legislative in the US. pan-agency regulations on the field heavily favor the transition to specialist medicine and gigantic health conglomerates over the traditional "town doctor" kind of model. The same is true with law and many other fields as you point out. The impetus has been there for decades - the results are just becoming really clear

what have your discussions been about, Isaac

despite Zizek's many flaws

he has a good point when he talks about real vs. fake freedom

I don't mean to bump Zizek. I'm just saying that "freedom" can mean different things and sometimes the freedom we get isn't really the freedom we want

Do you guys think 27 is too old to join the military...

Should I reconsider my path...

Army and Navy are 34/35 so I still have time... I wouldn't be enlisting either. I feel guilty about going through life as a civilian. I feel like I'm missing out on something shitty but ultimately irreplaceable.

Like in high school when you were stuck at a track meet for twelve hours in the heat getting sunburned and shit but you wanted to be there anyway to hang out with your buddies.

Sure. I would agree with your statement. But there is also, for example, the "school choice" illusion. If you are given the choice to send your children to any of 10 shitty schools, what kind of freedom is that? Is it more "free" than having only one, good school to send your children to?

If "freedom" has any purpose, removing the achievability of the purpose makes freedom meaningless.

It is more freeing to people to take choice away from them - bad choices, useless choices, choices they don't want.

I do. We're agreeing. I'm just making the policy argument because I don't trust people to come to the realization on their own

you can parse the word freedom however you want. I'm only talking about it in the colloquial sense of choices available to an individual

Yeah

but the rightists will argue that More Choices = More Freedom

and that's what I'm objecting to

I've agreed with you this entire time @The Enlightened Shepherd

It's usually in peoples own interest. i limit my own choices because I am unhappy if I face endless meaningless choices

Absolutely. Some clinical research also supports the notion that limited choices and limited resources also result in greater creativity and problem solving ability.

Presentation of choice and presentation of information is a major issue in policy discussions too.

Limitation of choice is freedom

and self-limitation the fullest freedom

Golden Bough is excellent. Good primer for lots of Joseph Campbell's work. Reading article now.

I read it years ago. Agree that it served as diving board for some Jungian mythopoetic / spiritual pondering

I was smoking a lot of weed at the time

first explain brahmin diet

cryptic

It's okay. I'm not going to insist on an explanation

I'm all keto these days. Not much red meat though.

Taubes et al would disagree. I'm not keto forever. I cycle reasonable carbs back in once in a while. But low carb doesn't disagree with me.

Caloric control isn't my issue.

a "ketogenic" diet is a diet that is low in carbohydrates to the extend that the body begins producing ketone bodies for energy instead of relying on glucose

Enlightened Shepherd

There is a lot of argument about it. Paleo and Keto do seem to overlap since I think both would reject a lot of modern food and grains. But I don't think paleo has the same problem keto has with sugar. They are two different philosophies that from a distance look similar

But "keto" refers to a specific metabolic state that Paleo doesn't really consider

That would be a keto-friendly position. They and other low carb dieters argue that the diet should be roughly 70% fat and as little carbs as possible, especially as little refined carbs and sugar as possible.

the argument made by more literate dietary science people is that carbs interrupt the hormonal cycles of insulin and other weight regulation hormones, driving obesity and some bad health.

@Deleted User 57835c2c that's a good point that would need to be answered. But let me ask you this: why do men get bellies but women deposit fat on their hips and ass and tits?

@Deleted User 57835c2c my argument is not that it's calories. My argument is that food intake, among other factors, drives the body's hormonal state, which can result in dietary problems. Saying that "people get fat because they eat more calories than they burn" is true but meaningless. It's like saying "this room got crowded because more people entered than left." Why did that happen?

@Deleted User 57835c2c when you begin to digest carbohydrates your body produces various hormones to effect certain processes like 1) removing sugar from the blood 2) storing excess energy in fat cells 3) telling the brain you are full etc. Those hormonal states can be either optimal for leanness, or not optimal for leanness. Part of that depends on what you eat. There are other factors like trauma depression etc. I can recommend you a book on the subject if you're interested or i can link you research papers but that will take me some time since I'm at work haha.

I'm not arguing that fatties aren't responsible for being fat. It's just a little more complicated
