One of the biggest solutions needed for domestic failings in America is a way to bifurcate society between high and low time preference people.

For those unfamiliar, low time = long term planning mindset, high time = short term present thinking.

The low time preference human capital needs to be properly resourced to maintain and innovate on the complex systems our civilization requires without being molested by the high time preference crowd, which would be perfectly content to live in an endless loop of bing bing wahoo pachinko parlour of constant stimulation.

A big part of the problem is that all of the gatekeeping mechanisms that enforced this have been corrupted, and so have a ton of the people on the other side of them. The attention span of the entire nation is like 4 days, those with low time preference are under constant stress because they don't live optimally under those conditions.

So the low time preference gatekeepers have turned into hedonistic perverted midwits which keep the people who need to be in these positions outside the gates, stuck in high time world under a blanket of anxiety.

And now increasingly extreme measures are being taken to keep the non midwit LTP crowd from getting any closer to the levers that make things run, presumably out of insecurity by the pozzed that they'll be made irrelevant or kicked out into HTP world themselves.

The end result is that you've got a lot of smart people just kind of withering and trying to get by in levels of society they aren't optimally designed for, when they should be doing things like maintaining these complex systems. Instead our bridges are crumbling, our grid is vulnerable, our security apparatus is spending all its time looking inward to terrorize the populace.

We've hit an almost unrecoverable critical mass of unworthy apparatchiks trying to fake it till they make it in these positions, too busy being enamored with status games and their world of emperors with no clothes to actually be competent at their jobs. We're finally starting to *really* feel the debt being incurred by their lack of productivity.

Meanwhile the human capital that should be in those positions diligently working are being kept out, and at best they are running businesses or doing important things that are outside of the gatekeeping apparatus and away from the levers of power, or at worst dying deaths of despair.

I'm 35 now, and I've been around long enough to learn from some really smart people who were dithering about online. You can learn more from random dedicated strangers on the internet than you can from the leading experts of those same fields according to academia.

There's a lot of levels to our civilizational problems right now, but one of them which gets overlooked is we have a dire personnel problem and misallocation of human capital. Too many midwits who probably shouldn't have gone to college were shoved into that track.

Has anyone else noticed just massively illogical demographic change in their own neighborhoods and adjacent areas in just the last 2 years in particular?

I'm trying to imagine the mechanics of how that even works, and the only way this feels possible is if blackrock et al going this hard into assets also includes some kind of government program subsidizing rent for immigrants in these homes.

Suddenly lots of signs "For Lease" in my area, which is/was a predominantly white suburb far flung from the city core. It's not even the blacks or hispanics born here or even illegal indios who are crowding us out, it's arabs, africans, asians, indians, that very obviously didn't grow up here.

I just can't imagine the mechanics involved that can even allow this much change to happen in 2 years without massive subsidization and private capital buying every home here they could get their hands on to lease to them. Where have the homeowners gone?

The issue is everybody I know has been experiencing something similar no matter where they are, in my case I moved to my neighborhood about 10 years ago and bought my first house, and it was about 80 percent white. Feels like it's half that now and it's foreign born replacing us.

The type of people who can afford to drop a down payment on a suburban home within 2-4 years of coming here, even as a "skilled worker" H1B is pretty low unless they were one of the wealthier ones that came here with money in the bank, which isn't very common.

I think part of the reason we can get chimpouts like this in the UK and Ireland is because room temperature IQ browns murdering people with knives is a relatively new phenomenon.

The US is so used to black people doing that same shit to us we're desensitized to it.

This creature stole a baby boy out of a crib next to his sleeping brother, sodomized him and stabbed him to death. Ruled incompetent to stand trial for mental health reasons.dallasnews.com/news/courts/20…

Before that he broke into a mans house and tried to walk out with the mans 2 year old granddaughter and for whatever fucking reason ol grandpa there didn't press charges despite getting punched in the face.

Lets talk about a bizarre murder with an even more bizarre conclusion from Kamala Harris when she was the Attorney General of CA.

Lets talk, about the Coronado Mansion Mystery. 🧵

It's 2011, in Coronado, CA (San Diego). Pharmaceutical executive Jonah Shacknai lives with his girlfriend, Rebecca Zahau, and his son Max (6 years old).

Max would somehow fall over the stairwell handrail in the Shacknai mansion, severely injuring him.

At the time of the fall, allegedly only Rebecca and her sister were present in the home. After hearing the crash, Rebecca found the boy and her sister immediately called 911. Max Shacknai suffered severe spinal cord injuries from the fall and was rushed onto life support.

Something I've noticed, publicly traded companies will sometimes paint themselves into a corner for a few years, padding their numbers to tread water at a longer term cost.

Then the CEO will parachute out, they'll appoint a female CEO. They'll say it's historic and diverse and evidence that the company is "forward thinking" or something.

Then she'll spin for a few quarters, not really changing or accomplishing anything. Gets defensive when problems are brought to her, almost completely preoccupied with making herself feel like some in-charge girlboss for her brief moment in the sun.

Then it'll all come crashing down, the earnings reports will be absolute ass, the stock price will dip badly enough to be worth articles and mentions on financial websites. Anyone trying to get accountability from the new CEO gets called a sexist, because it isn't her fault.

And it really isn't her fault, it's a series of bad decisions that she was chosen to be the face of after the fact. What is her fault is a lack of competence or understanding to actually do anything about the problems. But she can't say that, so everyone mad about it is a sexist instead.

It diffuses and disperses the blame, she'll get parachuted out at a less expensive rate than the standard, but she'll take it because it's not like she ever belonged in that chair anyway. The ego of the board for their bad decisions gets preserved, and some new dude will be found to clean up the mess the hard way.

Citi, Yahoo, Reddit, General Motors, Hewlett Packard, and so many more. It's such a pattern that over the years I really perk up and notice it.

Nobody wants to be confronted with blame for failure so they use some woman as a shield and call detractors sexist.

They'll put Kamala in, Biden will step down. They'll say "Don't believe your lying eyes, this is historic! The first female president, and she's brown!" and they will shuffle her off into a closet somewhere for a few months while she signs off on decisions made by apparatchiks.

"Imagine if the roles were reversed"

The left imposed a punitive social regime over the last 20 years in particular, because it works. Just one of their punitive enforcers in your workplace makes the entire organization turn into a constrained environment, where they can say whatever they want, and everyone not on their side cannot. It doesn't have to be a manager, it could be the janitor, and HR laws almost always ensure you've got at least one of these people bumping around like a subtle cultural commissariat.

Punitive systems work. They only begin to fail when they reach a certain degree of irrationality, or when juxtaposed with a similarly empowered system that is more rational than the old one. They don't have to actually like the system or its rules, it is the irrationality that matters.

Being canceled or tut tutted at for pointing out basic realities is irrational. Time has made this system more irrational to the point where expecting people to show up to work on time is racist, stopping crime is racist, being a nationalist flag waver for countries you don't belong to is encouraged if it fits the foreign policy platform of the DC Consensus, but is absolutely verboten if it's your own nation. Statues of historical figures that built societies and institutions are cast down in favor of lionized junkies, criminals, and activists who never built anything. Criticizing this is also punished, and is also irrational.

If I had to argue what *one thing* unites everyone on the right, it is the anxiety and disgust brought on by this irrational punitive system. We *should* be united on the subject of replacing it with a punitive system that is similarly punitive, but utterly rational, and in our favor, not theirs.

Because the MKULTRA tier faction of Current Thing psychosis respecters have created an existential conflict where the loser suffers Reconstruction 2.0. We didn't choose those terms, they did that for us, but we need to be willing to actually win, and that means implementing a rational social standard that has punitive boundaries, albeit one that is actually rational and predictable so it can be willingly avoided.

And it is not irrational to apply this to the lowest rungs of society, to include shitlib old ladies at home depot. In fact, I would argue it *must* apply to them, because the scale of our society is too large to wade through it moderating who is important enough to deserve punishment. Going after apparatchiks and pundits and people in important positions is surgical, tactical work in winning this.

Establishing boundaries and constraints on behavior at the broad spectrum level is strategic. Establishing rational boundaries on behavior that are punitive in nature towards this cancerous psychological frame that infests our society is arguably one of the *most* important goals for the right. It is the definition of "winning" because every society has some form of punitive constraints, and whoever chooses the terms of that system rules that society.

We need to be the ones to do it, because we know what the other side has in store for us if we lack the will to do so, because they don't.

Everything inside the boundaries of the punitive system that rules society is effectively "the overton window" and we need to control what that is, or else people who want you dead will do it for you. This should be obvious by now, to everyone.
