„Arminius ... cool graphic ... and interesting data point.
The Qin Dynasty illustrates once again that »conquest« is the easy step ... finding a »glue« to hold it all together post conquest is the hard part. Empirical evidence frequently confirms that the shelf life of »conquest« is short ... the Qin dynasty lasted a mere 15 years.
OTH the Han Dynasty which followed the Qin lasted 400+ years. Seems state adoption of Confucian thought ... which was not new ... was a decent »glue«.
The kernel of the message of Christ is also a decent »glue« ... love. Unfortunately, neither state or church embraced it ... both have consistently been mostly militaristic and greedy ... particularly near the top of the hierarchies.
Compelling arguments can be made that virtual Global Conquest was achieved twice in the past 72 years ... and both were squandered ... ergo ... they failed to find a »glue« to hold it all together.“ **

The deconstructivists deduced the slogan „form follows fantasy“ from Louis Sullivan’s slogan „form follows function“.
A deconstructivist architect is not somebody who dismantles buildings, but somebody who localizes inherent »problems« to the buildings. The deconstructivist architect treats the pure forms of the architectural tradition like a »psychiatrist« his »patients« – he ascertains the »symptoms of a suppressed impurity«, as Philip Johnson und Mark Wigley wrote in 1988 (cf. »Deconstructivist Architecture«, p. 11). It is just the same old megalomaniac architecture.“ ** **

»Can you show me where I am amazingly wrong for simply asserting it is not good enough. Evidence must be physical and real and not just an abstract concept which is all logic is.« **
Realize that computers know only logic, no empirical anything. Every time a computer is used by science, logic is being used. Every time mathematics is used, logic is used. For example:
One proposes that if random noise is added to an equal amount of random noise, the result will be merely the same degree of noise as the original. In order to test the hypothesis, a computer is used to create two arrays of random numbers. The arrays are then thoroughly examined for statistic variations and pattern. Then the arrays are added. The result is also examined. The computer repeats the process 10,000 times. If the results show that the degree of randomness did not vary between the original arrays and the resultant arrays, it can be concluded that the hypothesis was right.
That is an entirely, 100% logic process. Yet is yields evidence concerning physical reality.
Every time anyone measures anything and compares it with anything, it is only logic that reveals the »evidence«. Data without logic is entirely meaningless. And at times, pure logic, with no physical demonstration, is sufficient evidence.
The truth is that without logic, there is no »evidence« of any kind at all.
Logic is merely the consistency of thought and language.“ **

I am not claiming there is a contradiction. That's just the wrong word. Absent mental illness, a physical disability or some behavior that both costs money and prevents the earning of money, it's unusual for any american who has an education to be truly poor.

What USA are you from? People buy Chinese socks because they cannot afford $10+ for a pair of socks. If you are in Vermont, that is a white, affluent, snobby state...so what the hell do you know in your insulated bubble of BS? I know I'm wasting my time discussing common sense stuff for that is not your forte...like the reality that 50% of the folks earn under $35,000 and once the baby boomers (who make more collecting retirement pensions and social security pay than full-time workers now) die the 50% will jump to 80%. Ask yourself, why the poverty level on our tax forms hasn't risen since the 1990's or possibly even before then? The poverty level on the tax forms is what $25,000 and it's been that way for at least 30 years because Congress can't raise that figure or the government will eliminate a huge portion of their tax revenue. It took 30 years for the minimum wage to double, but the cost of living has risen three times that rate.
My favorite are the people who live off of their credit cards to make ends meet as they fall into poverty. They do not earn enough to cover the rising expenses so they subsidize with the good intentions of paying back those credit cards, but the payback portion never happens.

My parents (bachelor degree holders) earned more than that back in the 1980's, so thirty years ago that was a decent, middle-class hh income. Now it's more like $110,000 needed to remain middle-class, but more than 50% of hh incomes fall way short of that. What's sad is that many poor people believe that they are actually middle-class.“ **

This means that all nations of the world tend to have the same distribution of wealth that Brazil has.

The richest Finnish 20% have 35% of the Finnish income (GNP).
The poorest Finnish 80% have 65% of the Finnish income (GNP).
The richest German 20% have 40% of the German income (GNP).
The poorest German 80% have 60% of the German income (GNP).
The richest US 20% have 47% of the US income (GNP).
The poorest US 80% have 53% of the US income (GNP).
The richest Brazilian 20% have 65% of the Brazilian income (GNP).
The poorest Brazilian 80% have 35% of the Brazilian income (GNP).Maybe that the richest Brazilian 20% have already 80% of the Brazilian income (GNP).

„It’s true, social dysfunction is on the rise and this rise in dysfunction is due to changes in society which in turn is facilitated also through immigration.
It’s not like there have been studies on the destructive effects of diversity on social well being of those exposed to it.
The solution for the death cult is to import fresh blood for “Moloch”.The modern liberal cannot meaningfully address the decay in White communities beyond snark and appeals to self-responsibility which in their mind means not standing up for yourself or organising as a group against this decay. Perhaps they expect a more positive message, not to be anti-immigrants but to be pro-White, but for some reason I think they would object to this with accusations of muh racism and tactical nihilism in the form of questioning what is White, what is European, what is American.
He cannot address it because right now it goes against his political platform which is anti-White but let’s not exclude the Republican establishment which is on board with it as well.Importing these new people is not gonna fix social dysfunction but that’s not the objective here anyway.

They try to weaken Germany and to drive a wedge between Germany and the other EU members. The EU itself is such a wedge. The Euro too. They want the German wealth, the German money, the Germoney. This war is a huge economical war and the globalists and their US politicians do not care about the fact that Germany is a member of the NATO. Quite the contrary: Germany and Russia as a possible alliance has always been has always been being the globalists’ and their US politicians’ fear, at least according to George Friedman ([**] Note the title: »Stratfor: The US Main Interest is to Stop Alliance Between Russia and Germany«. To STOP? To stop WHAT? An »Alliance Between Russia and Germany«? There is not such an »alliance«! There is only the absolutely unfounded »fear« of it! – And by the way: It would be very much more understandable if the Germans had the fear of an alliance between USA and Russia! There was such an alliance in both the first and the second world war! – Again: Remember what Cato the Elder [234-149] said before the third Punic war [149-146]: »Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam« (»Besides, I am of the opinion that Carthage must be destroyed«).

„In the following video (**), Helmuth Nyborg (**) points out the clear relationship between distance from the equator and both brain size and intelligence. At or close to the equator, the average IQ is 69, whereas at a latitude of 54 degrees the average IQ is 98. Nyborg observes that races could logically be classified as »eco-types« (**), since their traits reflect the ecological niches in which they evolved. He also notes that unlike the North/South gradient in IQ there is no East/West gradient, virtually proving that it is the challenges of a cold climate that have forced northern peoples to evolve higher intelligence and a greater capacity for cooperation. He points out that e.g. Arabs have lower-than-expected IQs relative to the latitudes in which they evolved, probably due to the dysgenic effects of frequent cousin marriages.
Two forces could destroy the Western Civilization. One is a social system that taxes the competent to subsidize the proliferation of the incompetent. As Nyborg notes, »the welfare-state debases what created high civilization in the first place - this is the first time in history that the less fit are reproducing more than the more fit« (**). At the same time, lower-IQ non-Europeans are pouring into the continent, bringing with them alien practices and religions. Nyborg concludes with a warning: Unless Europeans are able to reverse these two trends, »the result could be the undoing of the Enlightenment - we may be on the precipice of a new dark era« (**).
Arminius wrote:
»According to Helmuth Nyborg and many others before him (and only few others - I am among them - after him) intelligence is mainly based on genetics and on the landscape, the environment, more exactly said: on the regional climate and some of its consequences. One can say that the northern humans (humans of regions with a moderate and especially a cold climate) are averagely much more intelligent than the southern humans (humans of regions with a warm and especially a hot climate). And indeed, this has already been proven, although some other aspects must be and have been taken in account as well.
Now, if a northern human correctly says ›I am more intelligent than the southern humans‹, then this northern human will immediately be called a ›racist‹ or an ›IQ racist‹. But if a southern human correctly says ›I am more athletic and have a larger penis than the northern humans‹, then that southern human will immediately get agreement and praise from everyone, nobody will call that southern human a ›racist‹ or/and a ›sexist‹.
One can state with certainty: There are huge differences when it comes to intelligence. These differences were already proven in the 19th century. But since about the second half or the third third or at least the fifth fifth of the 20th century it has been forbidden to say anything about these differences, because they are mostly caused by genetics (averagely about 70% or even 80%), biology, climate, thus only little by sociology. So our rulers are not only against intelligence differences, they are also against genetics, against biology, against climatology. Probably they are also against intelligence itself.
Who are the more real racist: those who correctly say that they are more intelligent than others, or those who incorrectly say that those who say that they are more intelligent than others are incorrect or even racists?
If there are intelligence differences (and there are huge intelligence differences for sure!), then there are also people who correctly say that they are more intelligent than others.
Why is it forbidden to be intelligent? And especially: Why is it forbidden to be more intelligent than others? And specifically: Why is it forbidden to say this?
There is a huge interest in forbidding all this.
When liberalism and egalitarianism come together ›fraternally‹ (
), they have to keep a peaceful distance between themselves: liberalism is for the few rich people, egalitarianism is for the many poor people; and if this peaceful distance is really kept by both of them, then it works like the current globalism works. What does this mean in the context of what I said above? That peaceful distance can only be kept, if there are artificially made differences (for example: ›racism‹, ›sexism‹ versus ›politically correctness‹) in order to hide the real differences (such as intelligence differences or the difference between eugenics and dysgenics), because this is one of the means which is used in order to control all humans on this planet - according to the established method and ruling principle: divide et impera.« ** **

People with a genotypic IQ over 123 should be homozygous M1M1, those with an IQ 105-123 should be heterozygous M1M2, and those with an IQ under 105 should be homozygous M2M2. In reality, the thresholds IQ 105 and IQ 123 mark no sharp boundaries but the average stripline of the overlapping zones of the phenotypes of the tested IQ. So mor lively worded, there are three types of modern humans: (1) those very few (with an IQ >= 124) who invent machines, (2) those (with an IQ 105-123) who repair machines, and (3) those great many (with an IQ <= 104) who serve machines.

BUT I might suggest that the artist himself; namely, the one who is also the writer or poet, along with the painter of canvases, might also be a good philosopher.
Would you agree that an artist is one who does or tries to show the reality of life in both the concrete and the abstract?
The one who reaches below the surface of things to reveal what nature is and does and defines truth and meaning.
The one who shows us, gives us another interpretation or perception insofar as how we can look at something?Isn't this ALSO what the philosopher does, Arminius?

b) logic seems to be an abstraction: If I say the for Loop and the while are equivalent, you can state, although you do not know what this is, the Logical description: from a for Loop follows a while.
c) Husserl sets the genealogic way of speeking of logic: so the given in experience allows a Standard of fulfillment which is a prerequisite to Logical sentences
d) what about marking in Spencer-BrownWhat relation have this observations to logic, as we know it conventionaly?“ **
„Günther's work was based upon Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Martin Heidegger and Oswald Spengler. He developed a trans-Aristotelian logical approach (omitting the tertium non datur). Günther's transclassical logic was the attempt to combine improved results of modern dialectic with formal logic. His focus on the philosophical problem of the „Du“ („You“/„Thou“) was trailblazing.
From Wikipedia. For Spencer-Brown see the entry in Laws of Form in the Wikipedia. I am not writing a work on it. I just read Luhmann, and there this concepts are mentioned but in a sociological context. So reentry of Laws of Form is exemplified by the quest of ecology of an Enterprise after the distinction System and Environment. But I am not sure if I understand it mathematically! So this post is just a try, perhaps somebody does understand this concepts. Günther is present in Luhmann as a logic of polycontextualities: A value is not just restricted to one branch, but to many with different expressional value.“ **

„The optimum distance of Earth from the Sun was a random event and more evidence our existence was not guaranteed.
The fact that liquid water can exist under ice which allowed life to develop within oceans before it could adapt to land.
We can also only exist in a universe with three spatial dimensions and so anything else and we would simply not be here.“ **

The distance was certainly not »random«. It had a cause. But the point to the anthropic principle is that if, for example, the Earth had been too close to the Sun for life to grow on it, life would instead be growing on some other planet ....“ **
„Perhaps in a different galaxy and those people would be having this (rather silly) discussion instead, asking the same questions and wondering why life on their planet just happened to "randomly" be exactly perfect for them.
When you think about it, it is kind of silly to argue with the anthropic principle. And it has nothing to do with randomness, rather quite the opposite. It is because everything has a cause (thus not random) that life can only grow in very specific places and that those places are the places where life is found.
To support the idea of randomness of life generation, one would have to find hundreds of planets that are chemically and environmentally ideal for life generation yet only one actually has life on it. Of course if everything was random, you would be finding life on planets where the environment was not ideal or even good for life generation because life would be independent of causation, ie "random".
Even without knowing what the causes are, it is still obvious that life generation is not random.“ **

»The ›no-go zones‹ in some Western nations, where law enforcement has lost control because of the influence of Islamic law, are coming to America.
That’s according to several Islam experts interviewed by WND who believe the kind of Muslim enclaves that have developed in Europe due to a lack of assimilation will eventually arise in the U.S. as the Muslim population grows.
The contention that ›no-go‹ zones exist is controversial, as evidenced by the widespread ridicule that arose when an analyst said in a Fox News interview shortly after the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack in Paris that the major English city of Birmingham was a “no-go” zone itself.
The analyst apologized, but only for exaggerating his point, not for asserting “no-go” zones exist.
As WND reported, the government of France has identified 751 Zones Urbaines Sensibles, or Sensitive Urban Zones, that the state does not fully control, citing Middle East foreign policy expert Daniel Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum.
The zones are enclaves where Muslim immigrants have chosen not to assimilate, and law enforcement has lost some degree of control.
Republican Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal recently told Fox News interviewer Neil Cavuto that the zones are inevitable in America if the country doesn’t insist that immigrant Muslims assimilate.« **
The report was done in 2015 since then the USA has NO GO ZONES.

»In the U.S., Dearborn, Michigan: Over 100,000 Muslims, 45% of the city has settled into their first ‘no-go’ zone. The city and police officials have been sued in many cases that allege discrimination “against Christians” effectively by the authorities applying Sharia law. Dearborn-Dar-al-Islam, (a place governed by Islamic Sharia law). The new idea of ‘no-go’ and ‘no-entry’ is significant, and shockingly being upheld. They provide weapons and guards and government officials in their own societies. They build what they want on their compounds. They have schools inside that their kids are educated in. They are taught their religion in school. No separation of Church (mosque) and State.« **
Michigan is not the only state, there are I believe four others. Why is the US allowing this to happen? Muslims are literally buying up lands and converting it into compounds that are dangerous for non-muslims to enter and they have armed guards that monitor who tries to enter. Public roads become private roads ... it's insane.“ **
