the alt-right isn't really anything, people self-labeling as alt-right are lightweights adrift in a maelstrom of propaganda and the label itself was manufactured as a pigeonhole within which to peg contemporary reactionaries and traditionalists beneath a certain level of academe and above a certain level of social-media popularity. At least, that's what I can tell. Yianopopolops for example is a glorified 4chan shitlord with little or no actual argument to make aside from pointed jabs at easily-offended groups on the left.

I think by a stroke of luck it was one of the only ones in the series to completely nail the aesthetic. First of all they picked 26 authors 1 for each letter and assigned a color to it so the whole series looks like a rainbow, and the color of water/seafoam just happened to be in the middle of the spectrum for Moby-Dick to receive it (I mean imagine if the book was yellow or red, it would just be wrong). But then also the letter on the cover is for the author, not the title, and it just so happened Melville and Moby-Dick are both M's, so it still looks like it's just a logo for the book or something (with whale tails and all harpoons and all that).

If you're still here or open to suggestions OP, I just want to point out Atlas Shrugged. The book is absolute dog shit. I have read Atlas Shrugged, a biography of Ayn Rand, and The Fountainhead, and I can say without a doubt Ayn Rand is terrible at writing and her ideas are bad. I am a libertarian and I despise her. She loves her protagonists too much, and presents them as some sort of ideal, impervious to criticism or faults. Her writing is annoying and superfluous. And my main criticism is her background. She was a RUSSIAN JEW. Her parents were bourgeois fucks, and Stalin, somewhat wisely, started persecuting and expelling her kind. She internalized this so much that she became an angry capitalist in the worst way possible.

I'm reading this book. Its a very comfy read, I'm a brainlet so I struggle with alot of the LIT Core. Mainly due to lack of vocabularly, I would typically spend the majority of my time on a LIT Core book looking up words and thus I would find the reading experience less enjoyable as I would need to retrace my steps to keep up with the story. This book is very nice though, I haven't needed to look up words as often and I am finding myself simply enjoying the story. I probably need to pick one book for enjoyment at my reading level and one a few levels higher to improve my vocab comprehension.

You’re wrong.

First of all income distribution doesn’t look like a Bell Curve, it looks like the number ‘seven’ with the head of the seven being around the minimum income required (because if you get too much below this, you die).

Or it used to be he case before income started becoming way too inflated in the direction of administrative personnel.

In my opinion, this point is actually connected to the fallibility of The Bell Curve, because clearly income gains are not at all attached to ‘intelligence’ which isn’t even cleanly distributed like IQ supposedly is. You see this in growing administrative incomes. They are almost forming a sort of ‘income rent’ on lower incomes, absorbing all additional income increases beyond a reasonable profit, like how landlords were to farmers in the nineteenth century

I'm sure they are, but I disagree that overall intelligence is JUST 'pattern recognition', which is how IQ is tested.

I do disagree with this, because intelligence, in my opinion, comprises a wide variety of traits.

I will say that there are differences in opportunity. I will also say that races are considerably different just because of living circumstances when they were born and raised, the culture they were raised through, etc. They get very easily indoctrinated into thought systems and speech behavior. Just think about the world we could live in if all the races looked at each other as just other human beings, fully capable of appreciating reality.

But alas, we see these differences and think negatively, instead of seeing these differences and thinking positively.

That's a big problem with linearly quantifying intelligence, that sociological effect right there.

IQ is a lot more then just pattern recognition its Referred to as G or General intelligence it covers Spatial awareness, memory, problem solving in novel situations (fluid intelligence) the data in the bell curve is solid and they extrapolate solid conclusions such as the average IQ of ethnicities is different, they take into account of outliers and genius IQ people, but that doesn't discount averages, and further more using identical twin studies they can show that there is an IQ correlation between twins of .7 (a slam dunk correlation) where environment is at about a .3 correlation (also technically "significant")

[Anonymous No.10952871]

>>10952848
It's laughable that you somehow believe it's a 'slam dunk' correlation.

Lets be honest here, twins are similar no matter what. You asserting plainly that them having correlated intelligence proves anything is just plain false.

The fact is, we're sitting here trying to prove certain things regarding non-linear attributes to people (as in the impossibility of trying to scale people cleanly) are just inherently more valuable than a simple variable, that some may score higher on than others. Me, personally, technically I may have a high score, but it doesn't matter to me, what I want to do is have discussions regarding the truth without being swayed by any biases, even my own cognitive biases.

Sooo deep man!!

Almost everybody in the world does do that - even people who have read The Bell Curve and know the data on race and IQ. The point of that data isn't to make it easier to discriminate against particular people on the basis of their race, it's to explain why there are disparities in outcome between large, aggregate racial groups and to thus undermine the pathetic politics of grievance.

I'm a reactionary and I don't really give a fuck about muh IQ. I only see a GLOBOHOMO corporate monoculture NWO closing in, destroying everything in its path, backed by an affirmative action egalitarian ideology, which if we are REALLY honest functions mainly as an instrument of assimilation, a means of reducing us all into a single brown mass of genderless, raceless and cultureless consumer blobs. Nietszchean edgelord that I am, I can't help but assert my difference by waging total war against the state, whatever that entails. If the monoculture thinks 'racism' is the ultimate evil, then I'll be a 'racist'.

I agree with this. I wasn’t gay (or I didn’t know it) until I went alt-right and started idolizing Hitler. I don’t know what happened. I had girlfriends and I was super straight, but when I started being scared of Mexican men, black men, Arab men, I just started becoming attracted to those I feared. It’s so confusing. I guess it’s sort of like women being attracted to the hyper masculine ‘bad’ guy that is rooted in their fear of that same guy. I feel like someone has played a massive trick on the US by taking those men that are most insecure and predisposed to hatred and introducing the alt-right ideology to the subculture for the purpose of turning them into the type of person they profess to hate, the gay man, by turning them gay through xenophobia. I guess the end-game is to teach empathy and cure this cheap latent hatred, but I think there will be suicide-resulting bouts of self-loathing that will come across the country in waves when more and more people make the realization I recently came to, that this ‘hatred’ I was taught to feel translates, psychologically, to gayhood.

Regardless, the communist hypothesis is in an all time low and the internet heavily leans on the extreme right ideology. If anything, 4chan is neonazist, another popular forum from my country is clearly fascist (but not racist as 4chan).. News sites are filled to the brim with bigoted opinions.

an economic theory by definition cannot be correct, and communist critique is entirely accurate, the prescribed solutions are nonsensical utopianism but the inherent contradictions within capitalism have been exposed time and time again by marxists or marxist leaning intellectuals like Baudrillard, Focault, Fisher, Adorno. It should be supplemented with ideas from McLuhan and Land certainly, but the problems remain almost unchanged. There is a parasitic dynamic between the worker and Capital which becomes more apparent by the day in the most exploitative of all industries, entertainment, medicine and internet media

[Anonymous No.10961930]

>>10961882
>an economic theory by definition cannot be correct
Lol.

This is, by definition, false. There is something called scientific economic analysis. It's the kind of thing Walras would have used. From a scientific, mathematical analysis, you can learn quite a bit from economics. For instance, if I said that importation duties were always harmful to a nation that adopts them I would be saying the truth, but if I justified it by saying that the system of equations

p'b + p''c > (b + c) q,

pa + (b + c - a) p'' < (b+c) q,

and p'b + p''c - (b+c) q > (p' - p) b

denote that b > a, where b is the quantity of goods sold within the country after a protective tariff and a is the quantity of goods sold through free competition, then the system is impossible, then this proves that producers can never make more than consumers lose by taxation on imports.

You see, Adam Smith, more than 2 centuries prior to Vilfredo Pareto said exactly this, but Pareto defined it and specified exactly why this is the case. Or how Pareto says Ricardo's stipulation only works for certain productive efficiencies in combination with certain tastes, that it's half right.

It's like when Walras said the LTV is fundamentally incorrect because there are two independent variables in one equation. No one takes that shit seriously in academia, moron. Not a single well-respected economist actually fucking gives a shit about Marxist theory, not even Keynes, who disagrees with it fundamentally on the basis of his Time units (read The General Theory, a more up to date economics book)

Scientifically, you're right. There can be certain economic theories that have been proven wrong over time. Like Malthus'.

But we're talking about mathematical truths here. That system of equations proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that taxes on imports always hurt the economy and destroy wealth, because the profit to producers can never be greater than the harm to consumers.

Just saying. Also, that point about the LTV being untrue is also extremely valid. In mathematics and science, it mathematically invalidates an equation if there are two independent variables in one equation, because you cannot solve the equation.

>invalidates an equation
Uhm sweetie...

It's just how it works. If I told you to find the temperature in Kelvin without giving you the degrees in Celsius, that's the kind of issue we're talking about here.

You can't find the answer if both variables are missing.

There's an infinite number of solutions. It's not mathematically invalid. The answer is a function. Just Google y=272.15+x and you'll get your answers

In that Google equation, there is no telling the 'independent' from 'dependent'.

You see, how a discrete system of equations works is that the number of unknowns matches the number of equations.

A middle schooler could understand the point YOU are trying to make.

>mathematics are true because they yield results you expect because you made the fucking system to do the thing you expected

[Anonymous No.10964055]

>>10964052
And this is coming from fucking nowhere.

You see the point is, that I can determine the temperature in Celsius if I have the temperature in Kelvin.

I can determine the temperature in Kelvin if I have the temperature in Celsius.

But since they are both independent variables, me solving for both at the same time a priori with no evidence is a petito principii.

Hey friendo, calm down. I want you to know I believe in souls, okay? I do.

When I deal with mathematics or economics or whathaveyou I like to be very precise, but I can be spiritual as well. I believe in souls, for starters. And God is very real, in my opinion (I think reality is reflective of this).

I'm just trying to correctly learn, that's all bud. You have a good day, didn't want to rub you the wrong way with my rigorous analysis.

I'm the dude you originally responded to. I'm aware that you can't get an ANSWER from it, but there are SOLUTIONS and they're not mathematically invalid ffs. I'm just explaining that. I understand that it can create problems in experiments since there's no telling which variable "moved" and created the result.

Then you see the problem with the labor theory of value, which tries to determine the price and the interest rate at the same time, since wages and rent are already statically determined.

Sorry dude, I'm a physicist and don't really know much about economy. Tho I do think interest and rent should be banned and made unnecessary. Too many people live in slave-like conditions thanks to money lending and rent. Seriously, how hard is it to create a system without all that cancer?

Usury is rampant and is a moral condition, it's true. The hypothetical city of Magnesia in Plato's Laws was incredible, the idea there was that the burden of repaying the loan was on the lender, the culture was such that you would only loan to a friend who would repay you, and there was no enforcement for the principal.

Just shows you how far we've fallen.

Orwell has mature themes such as rape and torture, and just because it’s a comfy read doesn’t make it for teenagers.
Europe would not keep the attention of a teenager. Its too dry.
Peterson I’ll concede

Plato is the ultimate pleb-filter. Uniformly, anyone I've hear say they didn't like him had the most surface-level reading imaginable and were completely incapable of dialectic.

I am reading this as well and I kinda regret even starting it. I honestly can not understand why you would enjoy the story that isn't interesting in any sense. The protagonist is incapable at achieving anything and it is painful to see him trying to convince himself that everything is alright. Don't even mention that he behaves nothing like a properly trained science student. Also fr some reason the author decided that it would be great to drag the hell of the dialogues until they pointlessly filled the entire chapter.

The prose is bare and the "science" isn't even interesting at all. It feels more like a wasted premise.

That's obviously not my complaint, though. Would be grateful if you could explain how that's a good protagonist, if you have actually read it, that's.
