Let me guess, you believe the Democrats are "for the little guy"?

You're as stupid as the guy you replied to.

You idiot, both sides are taking their cut.

Separate politics and business? Do you mean to say that government shouldn't be allowed to regulate business? No? Then business and politics are ALREADY entwined.

I tried to comment on something about progress, then it claimed I was posting anonymously, logged me out, and when I logged back in the comment on progress was gone. I'm going to post my response anyway.

I think I finally found a big hole in all human progress. Human beings are short term thinkers. That's why we base our transportation system on fossil fuels that can't be easily replenished; that's why "progressives" base their romantic escapades on non-sustainable procreative strategies like serial adultery and homosexuality. That's why when the "scientific Green Revolution" came to Bali and overturned a few thousand years of theological agriculture to try to increase rice production, the whole ecology went out of whack.

No long term view. And that's why this Gleichschaltung, like all others before it, will fall.

My only question is, when will Northern Europeans in general realize that what they think is progress, is extremely short term thinking?

Well we all saw how Title II killed wireless phone service back in 1993. I mean, who uses a cell phone these days?

I just bought a new laptop and the cheapest one that included 802.11ac was a $700 Dell - but that had absolutely shitty specs other than that (720p graphics, non-touch, a slow i5, Intel integrated 4000 graphics...). For $800 I got a much faster i7, nVidia 840 gpu (shitty, but better than Intel 4000 by far), and 1080p graphics in the same form factor, but only 802.11n wifi (which was in almost every other laptop I looked at as well). It is unfortunate, but 802.11ac is not widely adopted yet :(

I think they still were- but you can see the Republican Cronies in those companies whose business was utterly destroyed by a failure to provide contraception and abortion coverage.

The do retire. Think big picture for a minute?

I am. I believe in annullment of non fruitful unions. Fuck who you like, cohabitate as you like, but make marriage about nurturing families has ALWAYS been my position. I came to this position when my tasks as a life insurance agent/financial planner led me to help rich DINKs pay less taxes using marriage laws, and felt strongly enough about it to change careers.

My position may not be to your liking, but it is still based on logical long term social best interests as I see them, and not extremism or prejudice.

2nd potential mechanism. Due to competition for rare leadership positions, serfs showing leadership potential are killed outright, leaving behind only those with brains enough to do the job that the lord wants them to do. Once a dynasty and traditional economy are established, eight nor nine generations of this and you'll end up with a genetic separation between "noble blood/highborn" and "serf/lowborn" populations.

For an extreme comedic version of this, see https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCscVT3d-EEQsq-5rPozTyJw/, these English actors portrayed the four class English system perfectly, complete with simulated IQ levels.

In feudalism, and in certain forms of tribalism, the chief/King and his family eat first, and then everybody else eats what is left over from their table. (in Calapuya Chinook, the title of the chief was the Hias Mucktymuck- quite literally "the dude sitting at the head of the table", from which we get the saying "Lord High MucktyMuck"). I'd call that a very powerful selection mechanism.

I like this. It also fits the Cain and Abel hunter-gatherer vs agriculturalist interpretation.

Having a system that supports the creation and nurturing of the next generation of mankind is in the long term best interests of homosexuals just as much as anyone else. Corrupting it into something purely based on decadent sex is not wise. For anyone.

I suspect that evolution is involved. Those who have power in society are making the decisions and thus NEED the larger brains. Those whose grandfathers were ditch diggers and under 99% of the societies ever designed would be ditch diggers themselves, didn't need big brains and in fact were better able to survive without them.
