Speaking Gig Warsaw and Trekking Gig Alpujarras, Spain
2019-07-15 23:18 UTC by Richard Nikoley

I’m about 19 hours from departure from home. 26 hours from departure from San Fran International (SFO).

I leave Arnold, CA at about 10:30am tomorrow morning. It goes like this:

Arnold –> Burlingame parking (10:30am – 1:00pm)
Burlingame –> SFO (half hour)
Depart SFO at 4:20pm (British Airways)
After 10 hours and 30 minutes, arrive at 11:00am on the 17th at Heathrow in London—lamenting that it looks nothing like the films from the 70s.
Wait a couple of hours and connect with British pilots again, to Warsaw, arriving at a gentlemanly hour: 5:30pm on the 17th.
Take an Uber to the downtown hotel for the 21 Conference.

Then I spend five nights there, 17-21, the conference is 18-21, and I’m speaking 19 or 20.

Monday, the 22nd, I depart:

Warsaw –> Madrid (10:50am – 2:45pm)
I have to hump the eff out of this, from terminal 4 to terminal 2 in an hour
Madrid –> Malaga (3:50pm – 5:00pm)

And then, my Navy Officer friend since 1987—as I was a 7th Fleet staff officer on Blue Ridge—picks me up in Malaga. He’s been a resident of Spain for about 15 years now and I’ve not seen him since when he flew out from the east coast to west coast for my wedding in 2001.

Here’s how it goes from there. It’s about 100km over about 6 days, about 65-ish miles. Very gentlemanly, though by day 3, I expect I’ll be hurting a bit. Paul treks all over the world in a 60L backpack and has done so for many years. What a planning tour guide.

The regional temperatures are very reasonable. It’s at some altitude, perhaps 1,200 meters on average (close to how I live, at 4k feet). So mid-80s in the day, 70s in the evening, 60s or 50s at night. Perfect.

The Discussions Series With Andy Curzon Now With Audio-Only Option
2019-07-13 22:13 UTC by Richard Nikoley

My co-host, Andy Curzon, and I are having quite a good time at this Discussions series of video interviews. Just scroll down the blog to find them.

We’ve done four of them so far, on a weekly basis. After the first, we decided to try our hand at a series, so the first three are formally “in the can.” The last one, just yesterday. For me, collaborating on what guests to bring on, what topics to discuss, and then having to brush up on them…it’s half the fun.

I’m using my old podcast hosing account at SoundCloud for hosting the audio.

You can also subscribe to the feed via the iTunes Store (or search ‘free the animal). As it stands right now, the ones I uploaded to SoundCloud today aren’t showing up, but if you subscribe and refresh the feed, they should show up (worked for me).

While I think that watching the video and interaction between the guests—where I have the cool tools to shift between single speaker view and all three or four of us, some folks’ lives are such that it’s more accessible to listen by car, bus, train, and plane.

So there you have it.

Discussions 2: Brandon Hayes and Joel Davis – Ideology, Limits, Agency, Libertarianism, and Propertarianism
2019-07-06 17:09 UTC by Richard Nikoley

Co-host Andy Curzon and I are making a regular gig of this. This is the second formal, Discussions 1 to be found right here: DISCUSSIONS 1: TRUTH, HONESTY, LIMITATIONS, SUCCESS FRAMES, AND AGENCY WITH ANDY CURZON AND NOAH REVOY

For this one, Andy and I have Brandon Hayes and Joel Davis. As always, one or two smart folks and we’re discussing interesting things. Yes, we’re going to get some chicks on, too. Tech, now, affords us the ability to have these discussions wherever. I’m in the Sierra mountains, Andy is in London, Brandon in Massachusetts, and Joel rings in from Sydney, Australia. And it all comes together…the only drawback being that I had to get up at 5am and it was about 1am for Joel.

Rough Outline (which we don’t really follow all that closely….damn):

Dog training
How we frame single issues (macro ‘world views’ to micro ‘opinions on a single topic’)
Framing things (all the way along the macro-micro spectrum) as something with both uses, and limits

Spend more time considering the limits of your preferred biases, and more time considering the uses of your dislikes.

Examples:

Macro

a) Transcending ideological frames
b) the postmodern problemization of meaning

Micro

a) things considered as having perils (limits) and necessity (uses)
i) cynicism
ii) feeling closer to those who share our values
iii) feeling closer to those who share our opinions

Libertarian thought as a frame and limitations (and uses) of it
Propertarianism as a frame and limitations (and uses) of it

Points as to Independence
2019-07-04 21:55 UTC by Richard Nikoley

This is America’s founding document, not the US Constitution.

It constitutes, to this day, the greatest leap forward for pro-civilization in the history of mankind.

The Declaration of Independence

Have you a real inkling of what you celebrate? Truly? Do you have a deep understanding of the critical essentials in the context of the times? Do you? Or, is it just beer, BBQ, and fireworks? Examine your own fortitude.

In an appropriately named resource, AMERICAN GREATNESS, published this piece right on time.

The Lessons of the Declaration of Independence

A fabulous article, in the highest traditions of fabulosity.

The eternal and universal principles used to craft an argument for severing ties with the British and laying the foundation for a new nation were successful in 1776, but their relevance did not end once America became an independent nation, as Lincoln recognized. The principles used as justification and explanation speak to all, as much today as they did 243 years ago. The Declaration is a measure that serves as a reference point, regardless of the time or of a particular set of circumstances. That we are created equal is not dependent upon our being American, or male or female, or our economic condition. It is a universal truth. That we have inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is not dependent upon the government that is in power.
That we have the right to alter our government if it becomes destructive of these rights is as true today as it was in 1776. That government is intended to secure our rights and derives its just powers from the consent of the governed reminds us that the foundation of the sovereignty of the people requires participation and vigilance. Consent is given on an ongoing basis and the judgment of whether the government is securing the rights of American citizens or thwarting them is a constant exercise. The words and themes of the Declaration have remained at the heart of American discourse because they provide a guide that is timeless.”

You should also check out the freed slave, Frederick Douglass’ most graceful eloquence, expounded upon in the piece.

…Then, something pops up, in comments, from a Japanese intellectual who I first encountered in 1991. I’ll just copypasta:

So this must be shared, a comment on one of my posts this morning . I take such things as obligations.

Back in 1991 I first read something this Jap dude, Yasuhiko Genku Kimura wrote and was astounded. It’s interesting to me how someone approaching a second language is so etymological about it.

If you’ve been watching our video discussions, Andy and I are very keen to have a discussion with Yasuhiko sometime soon.

~~~

The Declaration of Independence is the greatest manifesto of freedom and independence ever written. It is philosophical as well as it is political. The “Independence” in The Declaration has two meanings: (1) the independence, sovereignty, and freedom of the individual human being (from all forms of tyranny); (2) the independence of the American colonies (later the United States) from the British monarchy.

A research into the U.S. history and founding documents has led me to the studies done by several researchers and authors, which posit that Thomas Paine, the author of Common Sense (January 10, 1776), was the actual author of the original draft of The Declaration of Independence (July 4, 1776), which Thomas Jefferson and four others (in the Committee of Five) edited and revised to draw the final version.

Thomas Paine was an undistinguished Englishman when he came to America in October of 1774 at age 37 upon the recommendation of Benjamin Franklin. Yet, within 15 months of his arrival in the new continent, freed from the bound of the British class society, Paine published Common Sense on January 10, 1776, which remains to be the greatest bestseller of all times. It sold 500,000 copies within six months (and more people read it or heard it being read) when the total American population was only three million, which number, relative to today’s U.S. population, is equivalent of 50 million copies!

Before Common Sense, and thus before Thomas Paine, none of the Founders—not Washington, not Franklin, not Jefferson, not Adams, none, except perhaps Samuel Adams for a personal, not an ideological reason— was expressly for independence (the majority opinion and sentiment of the American colonists were overwhelmingly for a reconciliation with the British government).

After Common Sense, which cogently argued for independence with both reason and passion, all the Founders and a significant percentage of the American population (estimated to be about one third) became convinced that independence was the only moral and rational way for them. (Other one third remained neutral and another one third remained loyal to the British king.)

Then, as Rose Wilder Lane states in The Discovery of Freedom (1943), “Jefferson asked Paine to write a draft of The Declaration of Independence,” which Paine did. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams hand-copied the draft (Adams, it is evident, more faithfully). Thomas Jefferson, mainly, as well as the Committee of Five (Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and Robert R. Livingston), did the editing (and editing out) and the revisions on Jefferson’s handwritten copy, which was presented to the Congress and became the final version with everyone’s signature officially on July 4, 1776 (actually July 2, 1776). All of those who signed The Declaration (56 individuals) courageously risked their lives and many indeed suffered severe consequences..

John Adam’s handwritten copy of the draft has been kept as it was written, which is 99 plus percent identical in wording with Jefferson’s copy but with distinct marks of Paine’s writing style (e.g., Paine grew up in a strict Quaker family and Quakers used to capitalize the first letter of important pronouns, which rule Paine faithfully maintained all his life). Also, when you compare the styles of writing of Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and The Declaration, as well as their ways of expressing ideas in writing and in deed, Paine’s authorship of the original draft becomes increasingly clearer.

Further, the “Slavery Clause” in the original draft was completely erased in the final version. This is one of the most unmistakable proofs of Paine’s authorship of the original. Jefferson remained throughout his life a slave owner. Not only Jefferson but also several other signers of The Declaration were wealthy slave owners, and Jefferson should have known that none of them would ever sign The Declaration with the Slavery Clause in it, and knowing this he would not have written and included it in the original.

(Thomas Paine was an original abolitionist, and actually helped abolish slavery and emancipate slaves in Pennsylvania in the 1780s.)

Long before this discovery, I had always felt the closest affinity to and the profoundest admiration for Thomas Paine amongst all of the Founders all of whom I highly respect. Thomas Paine and his epochal contributions remain relatively unknown, and often misunderstood or underappreciated by those who know (about) him and his work, because he was the victim of negative campaigns against him fraught with dishonest fabrications and prevarications.

Thomas Paine was a man of humble origin, unlike Thomas Jefferson and many other Founders and Framers. He was a foreigner, undistinguished in his own country prior to his coming to America and writing of Common Sense. He was a genius philosopher and an inspired writer who combined passion with impeccable logic and rationality.

While Paine was a brilliant political philosopher or even strategist, he was never a politician. He never compromised his philosophical principles for expediency. He was devoted to the idea and vision of freedom and independence, but never sought after power or fame. On subjects that mattered to him, he was outspoken with logic and passion, and never feigned humility or modesty.

The most devastating were, however, (1) the unfortunate misunderstanding that took place between Washington and Paine during the time Paine was in jail in France (waiting for a guillotine) and shortly after he was released; and (2) his visionary work The Age of Reason (which I started to write while in the French jail to complete before his “certain” death) was too ahead of his time and was universally condemned by the religious Americans.

Thus, he never gained popularity as a person and became a target of negative publicity and rumor, while deeply respected by those relative few who really knew him.

Ending Support for Internet Censorship Act
2019-07-03 00:47 UTC by Richard Nikoley

I just read Senator Josh Hawley’s bill. It’s not very long (11 pages of double-spaced large font).

Issues in very brief

It concerns Section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934 wherein a distinction is made between publishers and platforms. Publishers are legally liable for all content published (libel, slander, etc.); whereas, platform providers are immune (you can’t sue the phone company because someone calls you and threatens your life—assault).

Internet Big tech companies are acting like publishers through politically motivated moderation, politically motivated censorship, politically motivated banning, and politically—and often financially—motivated de-platforming, but are immune from damage done to individuals (slander reputation for racism, misogyny, “hate speech,” etc.), businesses (financial damage through political and social libel and slander they allow, but not counter-views in defense).

This also does wide-scale damage to the public commons at large: through filtering out political ideas that ought to receive a public hearing and scrutiny in an open society; but also, meddling with the political process, now, with the astoundingly shocking Project Veritas revelations about Google, caught on video actively seeking to ~~influence~~ meddle, rig, and hack elections through actual algorithm-based, leftist bias search results on a platform that warrants that its results are not biased.

“Don’t be evil.” (Google’s original motto in its code of conduct, dropped in 2015)

Summary of what the Bill does from Hawley’s office

Removes automatic immunity under Section 230 from big tech companies
Gives big tech companies the ability to earn immunity through external audits
- Big tech companies would have to prove to the FTC by clear and convincing evidence that their algorithms and content-removal practices are politically neutral
- The FTC could not certify big tech companies for immunity except by a supermajority vote
- Big tech companies would be responsible for the cost of conducting audits
- Big tech companies would have to reapply for immunity every two years
Preserves existing immunity for small and medium-sized companies
- The bill applies only to companies with more than 30 million active monthly users in the U.S., more than 300 million active monthly users worldwide, or who have more than $500 million in global annual revenue

I think it could be simpler

No more have your cake and eat it too.

Be a publisher with liability for all you publish, and of course, maintain iron grip control as all big media outlets do with their teams of editors and lawyers. I agree with this. They publish, then they get to control every jot & tittle of what’s published, for their own good. They have no obligation to provide a voice for anyone, no obligation to respect the 1st Amendment, etc.

But if you want to be a platform and enjoy immunity from all the legal liability that goes with publishing—especially when you’re very big and there are lots of moving parts and left-hand-right-hand dynamics—then you have to be a platform. You don’t get to have it both ways.

Ideally, these Big tech like Google, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook ought to be just like the Wild Wild West Internet itself, while providing various tools, features, and user experience in exchange for the content creation of users and a captive audience for advertising revenue.

To accomplish that should be easy

Any Big tech that’s claiming platform status has to respect the entirety of the Bill of Rights to the US Constitution, provided they do any business with the federal government in terms of contracts, grants, significant other relationships, etc.

So that’s the kicker. And, they would be liable for allegations of violating civil rights (i.e., the US Bill of Rights in its entirety…just like the Feds have to do).

If they don’t do business with the feds, they have the choice of acting in the same way as those who do; or, if they don’t, be small enough nobody cares…or, play it very safe in the true spirit of the thing.

A couple of Standard Objections

The first, most obvious: da porn, da hitler, da children. All the platforms have tons and tons of controls about what you see, who sees your stuff, who you are connected with, blocking, filtering, and on and on (really, rendering all this censorship stuff superfluous…except considering the political goals of Big tech). It renders the old saying “just change the channel” ridiculous. It’s now a channel nob with hundreds of functions and features.

So, just shut up, lazy asses, and do your own job. Protect your own sensitivities and your children, and so on.

The second is that of foreign countries, particularly the EU wankers that love to push American tech companies around and get them to fly over, hat in hand.

It ought to be American policy that all American Internet publishers and platforms are immune from international regulation in any respect to the extent they do not have a physical presence in that country. That may be the case—I don’t know—but then why do these companies stupidly have offices and server farms in these countries?

It should be easy enough to divest all of that and then it’s on EU, et al to police its own citizens, just like China does.

Discussions 1: Truth, Honesty, Limitations, Success Frames, and Agency with Andy Curzon and Noah Revoy
2019-06-28 18:44 UTC by Richard Nikoley

Here I go again with my informal series of unscripted, serendipitous conversations and discussions with very smart, interesting people. Andy Curzon put the outline together 30 minutes before start time and we only arranged to do this yesterday afternoon.

I’m in the Sierras in California, Andy is in London, England, and Noah is near Lisbon, Portugal (where we’re chewing on arranging a conference next year).

Outline:

Truth vs. honesty; the yardstick for an opinion is honesty, not truth
Integrating limitations (first: test them, then accept them, then integrate them)
Frames for success given IQ, conscientiousness, and neuroticism limitations
1. active listening;
2. life as training one’s conscience;
3. honing mastery;
4. avoid pitfalls such as seeing everything through one frame (ideology) or falling into nihilism;
5. step back from current affairs and see them as both news, and ideological battlegrounds;
6. trusting people in a more sophisticated manner;
Close talking of a final frame for success as bringing people together….suggest idea of a conference in Portugal.

Notes:

Andy references my Ancestral Health Symposium talk on Social Epistemology: https://vimeo.com/54314333

Facebook Hates That Arab Children Growing Up To Yearn to Kill Americans is on the Wane
2019-06-23 22:25 UTC by Richard Nikoley

UPDATE: After about a week of the ban, Facebook reversed it’s decision and unblocked me. It’s the first time in all 17 temporary bans.

This, my 17th Facebook ban, happened within a literal 10 seconds of sharing this meme. So, obviously computer algorithm (Artificial “Intelligence”). But what’s telling is that I searched around and can find it posted many places elsewhere.

It reminds me of this, where I actually detailed it: Facebook’s Flagrant Bias In Temporary Blocking. In other words, it’s not so much that the material violates “community standards” (Who’s community?) insomuch as YOU violate community standards (again, who’s community?…I seem to have a good number of friends and followers on my personal account, blog page, and three different groups…Richard Nikoley is a community unto and in himself).

It’s gobsmacking how stupid and dumbass Facebook is. I have better experiences at the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Here’s what I posted, banned for the 17th time in ten seconds.

Let’s juxtapose. Here’s three image memes I shared within the last week or so. No problem.

In terms of the last one, Desmond, I wrote:

How does this not violate Facebook’s community standards over child pornography and pedophilia?

How come there are no prosecutions of the people prostituting this boy, which is precisely what it is.

Child prostitution.

But, it’s a boy, so doesn’t matter, right? All LOLs.

I understand full well that this sort of post falls on deaf ears for pretty much all Facebook users, including 95% plus percent of my friends and follows.

They do not care, nor do I expect them to. So long as they get the values they want from Facebook, they won’t really care if photos like that are being taken next door. This is the double edged sword of business enterprise.

It’s the best of us and the worst of us, all in one package. Yin and Yang.

Sadly, almost nobody will share this on Facebook. There is almost no righteous courage in the world, anymore, which is the whole point of these targeted and random blocks. It might earn their first ban of 24 hours and starve them of cat videos.

Costs too much. Better not risk it.

A Conversation About Everything With Moritz Bierling and Andy Curzon
2019-06-22 03:42 UTC by Richard Nikoley

I had a previous conversation with Moritz. The other night, I clicked the FB messenger video button at 2:30am my time and Andy and I video chatted for an hour. He knows Moritz as well.

Andy suggested we do a three-way. Thing is, it was quite serendipitous and we put it together inside of an hour and then just went for a free for all, and free flow streaming of consciousness.

We’re three dudes that range in age from 26 – 58. We’re all very smart. IQ ranges 133 – 172.

It might bore you. But I believe it’s of some interest to all of us to perhaps create something like a weekly series of this, but to tighten it up (discipline) and take up a topic at a time to show how very smart, rather apolitical, non-fairy tale people sort out complex issues.

A talk-to-interview with Moritz Bierling of Existential Ventures
2019-06-13 19:40 UTC by Richard Nikoley

Moritz and I are friends and in the midst of a Facebook Messenger chat, we got on video to continue and after a few minutes, he hit record and this is the result.

I’m sorry for my long-winded introduction. I was recapping what we’d already been speaking of. Please overlook that and stick around for what he has to say. It’s a whirlwind of a one hour and 42 minute conversation that covers the gamut of computer networks, distributed systems, the cloud, networks, and crypto block chains; and now, holochains. We even talk about drugging kids: the prepubescent boys get psych meds and the post-pubescent girls get birth control.

Who is Moritz? Beyond being a 26-year old from Hamburg, Germany, a world traveling entrepreneur who dropped out of college twice, there’s this.

The Existential Ventures WTF.

Introduction to Holochain, A Post-Blockchain Crypto Technology

Moritz Bierling is the owner and principal of Existential Ventures, a consultancy helping visionary founders catalyze their projects through strategy, storytelling, and technology. Currently, he works primarily with Holo and Holochain, two sister projects that aim to deliver on the promises the blockchain technology promised but cannot keep.

The History and Cancer of Feminism, Live Stream
2019-05-23 00:46 UTC by Richard Nikoley

It’s live with me.

I’ll be doing a LIVE YouTube with Anthony Paul Johnson, Thursday, 24 May at 10 AM Pacific.

He’s the proprietor of 21 Sudios and the 22 Convention, at which I’ve been a speaker three times, since 2011.

This time is in Warsaw, Poland, 18-21 July, 2019.

My presentation will be about the history and cancer of feminism and we’ll be talking about that, red pill, and a bunch of other stuff.

You’ll want to tune in. Anthony and I had a 45 min phone con earlier today and it was so great we agreed it needed to be shared with the world in advance of the Mansplaining Event of the Century. Poland, July 2018.

Speaking Engagement 21 Convention Warsaw, Poland
2019-05-14 22:42 UTC by Richard Nikoley

For the fourth time I’m going back. I simply couldn’t resist Anthony Johnson’s invitation once I saw the promotional video. And, plus, it’s Warsaw, Poland.

See for yourself. Two minutes of fun and excitement. I’ll be speaking on the History and Cancer of Feminism.

It’s being held for four days, July 19-21, 2019. If you are interested in attending, click here. Special pricing is still available for a limited time.

Here’s a clue as to why perhaps Poland is such a great venue for this. Another minute of your time to listen to Dominik Tarczyński nail it.

My Sierra Mountain Home is Listed For Sale
2019-05-07 22:56 UTC by Richard Nikoley

Finally, spring has sprung and so the next step of the grand plan is executed. The last step prior to listing was installing that retaining wall from a single tree. The long section is 40′. My brother, his son, and I got it done in a day. It would have been easier had Dave remembered to bring his pushing chains, rather than only the pulling chains for his F-250.

I have two For Sale By Owner listings up, so far.

Zillow (includes automatic Trulia too)
Craigslist (Gold Country and San Francisco Bay Area)

Here’s my YouTube video tour from when we had it as a vacation rental.

I’ll probably do a couple of other listings, perhaps Redfin and ForSaleByOwner. Any experience with those or anything else, please drop a note in comments.

I’ve done a simple description because ultimately, it’s the location and the photos—and then a visit.

Our former vacation home since 2003. Extensive rebuilding and remodeling in 2003/4 after a significant fire (all electrical, plumbing, and structural updated to code). From 2011 – 2015 it was one of Arnold’s most popular vacation rentals, generating an average of $30,000 revenue annually (documentation to prove it).

The home is being offered completely furnished and equipped. By that I mean that it could be immediately occupied with no move in or investment. It could be rented as a vacation rental immediately. If a second home, bring clothes and toiletries. That’s literally all.

Additionally, the association has a very nice swimming pool, open from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

It’s great for two seasons. Snow in the winter (a ski resort 30 minutes away) and wine and Gold country in the summer and fall.

Also perfect for family holidays. It will sleep up to 14 without sleeping bags on the floor.

So, that’s about it. My follow-ons are as follows. I’ll write posts in more detail in due time.

I’m speaking at The 21 Convention yet again. Fourth time. But guess what? This time it’s in Warsaw Poland, mid-July. Frankly, it’s an anti-Feminism conference. Be sure to check out the short promotional video at the above link(s). I’m making it a Euro tour. I’ll be headed from Warsaw to southern Spain to hook up and auto-tour with an old Navy buddy who lives there.
I’m going to build out my own RV, Sprinter Van style, only using the long and high Dodge platform. I’ve done tons of research. It’s the best for this application.
Then I will be traveling the US to scope out land on which to build Shipping Container Homes. I’ve done lots of research there, too, but my designs are basically four-40′ containers, about 1,200 square feet total, done in loft/industrial style.

OK, that’s all.

Becoming The Ideal Man
2019-01-28 20:18 UTC by Richard Nikoley

Posted to the Facebook group linked below, today.

I had been paying more attention to the “men’s movement” (I’m using the term loosely, to encompass all) recently and then Anthony Johnson elevated me to moderator status of the Becoming The Ideal Man Group on FB. A worthy cause.

So I’ve paid more attention.

As an outsider—in spite of three speaking gigs at 21C conferences—a bird’s eye view type—I’d like to offer some impressions that may mesh with how someone from the average guy pool might be introduced t you all.

THE GOOD STUFF

Feminism is cancer; the hubris and entitlement are beyond the pale; the ignorance, Dunning-Kruger and Solipsism is astounding, etc.
Men should not be owned or pwned; men should not easily cave to female survival and selection strategy.
Men should get their shit together, head out of ass, project fortitude, etc.
Women are being harmed because they are not being fulfilled in their biological and social needs.

THE BAD

I’m not seeing so much manly idealism here, sad to say. I’m mostly seeing tips on game, to fuck low-status females. Sure, the good stuff is essential but that just makes you NOT a doormat.

What then?

Being a non-doormat, but then focussing on fucking low-status females is not Becoming The Ideal Man.

007 would laf at some of you basement-dwelling, bed-wetting wankers.

What I see a lot in the group is participation in Victim Olympics.

Men are not victims. They have ceded leadership on a massive scale, under fear of being outcast or rejected by a female, or all of the stupid ones. The path forward is not to whine about being victimized by a pussified, feminist culture, but to regain masculine leadership and just take back the reigns of power, by absolute force. And we can’t dance around that. It will take absolute force, or society remains feminized, victimized, puyssified.

We’ll be caught in a never ending hypergamy loop, which on a societal scale is only about female selection strategy.

Beyond Victim Olympics I see much hubris, resentment, and plain kid delusion. Instead of “I’m not going to be pushed around,” it’s “I’m not going to be a traditional gentleman and pick up the tab on a first date.”

Way to impress her, male.

It’s like in response to a realization that lots of women have been cunty for a long time, the solution is to be a man-cunt…a basic asshole…because it can work, just as it can work for women. It’s “Red Pill,” essentially employing female strategy “against” them, which is really just aligning with them. This gives her the win.

I believe this stems from two motivations.

1. Play a numbers game, which is just euphemism for getting as much low-status pussy for the honor badge.

2. Laziness. Why put in the effort to woo a high status female as a life partner if you get young, low status pussy anyway? And you don’t have to pick up the tab on a date, like SUCH AN IDEAL MAN!!!

…Western civilization has bred a kind of male that traditionally delights in the effort to pursue a good woman as a GENTLE MAN. He keeps his space clean and organized, irons his clothes, and polishes his shoes. It’s the Military ethic writ large—to mate selection and the “kill.” I’m not seeing much admonition to re-develop and re-emphasize these cultural traits.

007 wept.

What I see is stuff like “what cologne should I buy,” and “how do I date a lot and never have to pick up the tab?” This is female hypergamy adopted by males trying to pretend to be ideal men that a high-quality woman might select.

But it’s really only about scoring low-status pussy.

I see female-like, cunty and entitled hubris over the idea that an ideal man should endeavor to woo his exclusive pick into a genuine trust on her part; that she cannot escape the reality that she is very special to HIM and he fucking means it.

She has lots of choices, always. What can make the “kill”—always with the ubiquitous risk of ultimate and forever rejection—is that she becomes your very own true believer, wanting to believe in you for life. It’s what high-status and high-quality conservative women want.

You will have to get off of the pursuit of gaming low-status pussy and go for the “kill”of the chaste, conservative female who will settle for no less than absolute commitment if she is to invest her life in making children for you.

But more commonly around here, I see attitudes that “she’s just a basic whore,” and so you treat her accordingly. So what is it? Is she a basic whore? If so, why aren’t you directing your efforts to high-quality women instead? Afraid of the commitment and shouldering of manly responsibility a true high-quality woman will rightfully demand?

This goes to the motivation of quantity of young pussy over the quality of a good, attractive woman overall. A high status, high quality women: in brains, conservatism, a bod and sexual attitude that gets your cock hard, and a basic sweetheart with a see through smile.

How many of you guys would give a second look or thought to a woman who “won’t put out?”

How many would think, “maybe there’s some real quality virtue, there?” Would you even consider it? Would you consider a high-status 20-something who requires a solid commitment from you before she lets you into her bed or visits yours?

Too risky? Well, we get to see right in front of our eyes that what being afraid of shouldering responsibility has wrought. Those in pursuit of Ideal Manhood should be chagrined to realize they are part of the problem—endeavoring to get a free ride on as many low-status female pussies as possible.

“Too risky” to get a good young 20-something with a conservative mother and father, and get a hand off from dad in your late 20s, after you’ve made something of yourself and can protect and provide for a family of the babies she’s made for you? Ideal manhood?

Lastly, I sense a disdain—or derision, at times—towards men who seek a traditional family.

I see this often from older guys, like me, who are beyond that “start a family” timeframe with a quality woman. So they specialize in no-commitment relationships, separate finances, etc. And it’s OK for them, so they preach it to the young 20-somethings as a great lifestyle.

I’ve even seen derision towards young 30-something males who find a female with a kid fathered by an asshole, who mans up to the challenge, shouldering responsibility, sensing the chick is older, wiser, and she yearns for a male provider. A serious man.

Nope: “He’s stewarding another man’s genes.” This is not an enlightened, gentlemanly view.

How many dudes have come back from war and become the fathers of their dead buddy’s orphaned children?

That’s manly. That’s shouldering responsibility in a web of love, trust, emotion, and commitment.

Now, go get yourselves off to the local Macy’s. They have great deals on scents for “men.” It’s right next to the section where gay males are acting like girls, for girls. Go fit right in.

Or, just go buy a plain bottle of Old Spice or Bay Rum. Or, don’t even doll up your male scent at all.

And, how about this? Shouldering this sort of responsibility is easy for him. He’s not a little male-boy whose pussy hurts.

Nick Stumphauzer: How To Kill 14 People Without Saying a Word
2019-01-06 19:20 UTC by Richard Nikoley

This interview was a privilege for me on on several accounts.

First and foremost is that I’m solidly in agreement and support of Nick’s message in this high production-value video production.

Second is that the young man is only 20 years of age and this is his first feature film. He traveled to 13 different locations to get about 15 hours of footage to edit into a compact, meaningful visual form that I find non-partisan in nature. In other words: subject matter that both the left and right should be able to agree on (they don’t, of course). Who’s fault is left for you to decide.

So, given all the above, I was anxious to get Nick on a video podcast interview to talk about himself, his talent, the background leading up to the film (Milo Yiannopoulos and the Berkeley fiasco—where Nick was present—was the spark), the production elements themselves, and a bit of political philosophy banter.

So check out the interview and then follow the links below to find out how to watch this great film production yourself. An apology to the audience: my video recording software automatically switches back and forth depending on who’s talking and I wasn’t careful enough to ensure Nick’s volume was sufficient to make that reliable all the time. Still, it’s all there, just perhaps a bit distracting at times. I’ll do better.

Nick’s website: NickStumphauzer.com

The buy or rent page: vimeo/ondemand/howtokill14people

Here’s the film trailer:

…If you enjoyed this interview and wish to support Nick’s young conservative talent for his future projects, please pop for the buy at $9.99. This makes it yours to share with your friend and family guests in your home at will. Otherwise, you can rent it for $4.99 with a 48-hour streaming period.

Podcast: Make Women Great Again – #MWGA – with Anthony Johnson
2018-12-19 19:54 UTC by Richard Nikoley

Anthony Johnson and I go way back. He’s the creator of 21 Studios at the age of 17. In conjunction, he has been running 21 Convention conferences for 11 years, now.

I’ve been a speaker at three of them.

Something serendipitous happened. I have lots of acquaintances on the Internet, some more special to me than others and it happened that one day, one of them—who identifies as female because she’s female—wrote something on Facebook that I found inspiring.

And then I made a silly hat and sent it to her. And Anthony ran with it.

The 22 Convention is the upcoming result. Dubbed, The Mansplaining Event of the Century…

From the creator of the world famous 21 Convention Anthony Dream Johnson, comes The 22 Convention: Make Women Great Again ™
A 3 day educational live event starring iconic manosphere speakers, handpicked by the Dream himself, forming an exclusively all male speaking lineup. Speakers brought together to create positive media for women, foster #positivefemininity, and help women heal from decades of radical feminist brainwashing.
The men have arrived to help #MWGA.

Anthony and I recently reconnected in a video interview, the last being about seven or eight years ago.

We tell the story of how the hat came to be, and his initiative to run with it—make a silly, off the cuff idea on my part into something where he is perfectly tooled up and able to execute with all the parts he already has in motion for this sort of thing.

It’s insightful on his part that he’s chosen to have exclusively male speakers in an arena, talking to hundreds of women attendees. Imagine the hubris and triggering on that, alone.

…As an aside, a news clip out just today about a few beautiful, young Scandinavian women being raped and murdered in Morocco.

There was a day when grandfathers, fathers, brothers, and uncles all protected the young girls and women, suspect of every male who showed interest, by default, until such time as the young girls were handed off to a male deemed worthy of equal enthusiasm in their protection.

Those men were smarter than the fake males that are ubiquitous, now. Unlike Jack Donovan.

But it’s a 2-way street. Women used to have a pretty good spidy sense that men are just plain violent, and rather than futile attempts to rid them of it, taming, persuasion, and direction was a better sexual strategy in return for her competency in managing the refuge of a home, children, female beauty, cuddling, intimacy, and fucking.

So, now, go watch the interview with Anthony Johnson. Do it now, and get on the email list for updates about The 22 Convention.

“Eat as much fat as you want and don’t count calories”

Ever heard that sort of advice from a keto guru?

Podcast: Noah Revoy on Male and Female Agency and What to Avoid in Your Relationships
2018-11-29 19:54 UTC by Richard Nikoley

For reasons that are a mystery to me, I’ve become enamored with talking to good folk and letting y’all see.

It’s not that I’ve not done it before. It’s that I have tested and tested and tested, and the added elements of face changes everything. Voice changes a lot.

I think this is a very special interview and you you might learn something. More accurately, you’ll say to yourself “oh, yea.”

Agency is what underlies everything we do as humans, both individually and socially.

Thanksgiving Special: Curt Doolittle on Eugenics and Dysgenics
2018-11-21 22:20 UTC by Richard Nikoley

A couple of weeks ago I had my first conversation with Curt Doolittle. We covered the hard shit.

This morning, we spoke again. An hour this time, and with cool video recording gear. Much better quality.

We cover the “taboo” of eugenics and dysgenics—from bacteria to human civilization and the political and social structures they create.

Find Curt at:

Happy Thanksgiving. Go smoke a turkey. But be careful.

Life Update: Richard Visits Beatrice and Doggies
2018-11-19 20:40 UTC by Richard Nikoley

About a month ago I popped down to Southern California on a whim to visit Beatrice and the doggies and stayed a week. Here’s what went down, in pictures and video.

Beatrice and I went to lunch on the Oceanside marina.

We walked the dogs on the beach at Del Mar.

I discovered The Cave of Virginity Lost.

We did LOTS of dog walking.

I took a walk on the beach in “The Land of the Free.”

Beatrice cared about birds, not just dogs.

I started to make a sandwich, Jambon Beurre.

I kept making it.

I finished it.

We shopped motorhome RVs and that’s the one I want for nomadic life.

Don’t let your brains fall out. “Sometimes, all it takes is one PRAYER to change everything.”

We walk even more on the beach, with the doggies.

There’s more. No more than a mile or so from her place is an iFly franchise. So, I took her over, on me, and then induced her to buy a package of 10 more flights. She’s a natural. She took instruction and was solid. I don’t listen and so, my video has me bouncing all over the place.

And finally, on the drive back, I give you a political shitstorm about the Kavanaugh Senate Confirmation hearings.

I think that’s about it.
