Elite Human Capital, Trump vs Kamala, and Richard Hanania's Intellectual Evolution

[@denversupermarket7484]

Wow an actual contrarian take on this channel. After hearing 50 trumpers say the exact same thing then call themselves contrarians this is very refreshing lol

[@bjarke7886]

Hannania's only real opinion is that he believes he is better than you.

[@bjarke7886]

The problem is not the opinion, it's the reasoning. Yarvin brought up good points as to why Trump would not be successful. Hannania's argument is at the level of a 13-year-old girl who believes she is right because she is the hottest girl in class. That Bannania is ugly on top of that is just good comedy.

[@Low_commotion]

Thinking about the core of what Richard means when he says "idealism", I think I would define it as "someplace beyond the current human condition". In fascism, that's the volk once only the ingroup is left. In communism, it's the end state Marx talked about. In tech, it's ASI/solving aging/etc. In woke, I think it's a vague notion of the world once all racial and gender scores have been settled and everyone is back at even. Both the beer-drinking, car dealership owning, Green Bay watching Trump fan and the more Reaganite old-style conservative have ideal lives they'd like to _individually_ achieve, but it always falls within the context of the current human condition. What sets elites apart _is_ Sowell's unconstrained vision. The problem with Sowell is that the constrained vision is wrong some small percentage of the time, otherwise life would never get permanently better (like it has for, say, eradicating certain diseases or chopping infant mortality by >95% or Borlaug feeding more than Malthus would ever have imagined). The core of idealism is unconstrained vision, which is mostly wrong but not always (I'm not sure if Sowell would even dispute that constrained vision isn't always correct).

[@Low_commotion]

I like what he says about needing synthesis. The West is done if Catturd becomes the culture, same as woke. Both employ selective reporting if not outright confabulation to flatter their follower's egos and feels.

Imagine talking about EHC while looking like Banania

"Elite human capital" is historically always on the side of power, it was in the soviet union, it was in maoist china, it was in nazi germany, it is in the GAE. Thats why principled thinking is important, not who's currently on top.

[@bjarke7886]

Banania is the worst person on earth.

[@petergerdes1094]

Actually no, in Soviet times elite human capital was very much against the regime. Sure, they didn't want to go to the gulag or work in the mine so they said the right thing in public but there was a reason there were so many purges of the intelligencia because it was seen -- substantially correctly -- as a danger to the Soviet project. I mean one of the ultimate reasons the us won the cold war was because the best scientists and engineers were never wholly invested in the communist project. This is why the Chinese model presents a greater threat.

[@bjarke7886]

@@petergerdes1094 Depends on the period; During the first 60 years of soviet rule, the educated elites were very ideologically supportive.

[@petergerdes1094]

@ You are certainly correct it wasn't the cynicism of the latter Soviet state. But given the lack of reliable surveys it's hard to tell how many were supportive of the ideology once Stalinism was established. Certainly many were patriotic and willing to work for the state (especially during the world wars) but the OP is claiming far more than that. No one is questioning whether smart people will continue to work for US defense contractors, accept government grants and jobs or even work for the state department. Or even that many of them will continue to praise their country. I think that is the sense in which what you say is true while the OP is suggesting more than just whoever is in power gets to use that power to employ them.

13:51 in I am done. This limp wristed woman could NOT run a car dealership nor could his cohorts. 45 mechanics in a dealership with 178 employees would eat him & his managers for lunch. How very special their mommies told them they were to even entertain the idea. These people need to spend a year living with AVERAGE humans in KS OK AR etc. Get out of your circle jerk neighborhoods think tanks and coffee houses.

[@n8works]

The problem is, it's dudes like this and those in his circle that make the calls at this point. They control the capital. The only solution is to either make capital less powerful or amass the most capital. That's the cold hard truth.

You must be absolutely desperate to have Richard Hanania on your podcast. The guy is an absolute clown

[@jackdempsey9346]

Show me uppercut! Glad you're doing well buddy.

[@and1play5]

TDS episode, SF must be a disaster huh lol

[@mgetommy]

Hanannia voted for trump, so I don't think it's TDS

[@mikert89]

Some of the worst takes ive heard on a podcast in a long time. cant believe this guy is out in public speaking these thoughts

[@mgetommy]

What did you disagree with

[@BrienHawaii]

I don't recommend podcast, this person doesn't recognize how influenced he's been by parasitic ideas, not only that, his level of narcissism is off the map!

48:09 JD Vance is a common sense politician. That's why he doesn't fit into your mold.

[@jonathanedwardgibson]

Nonsense. He drapes generations playing Werewolf with purple robes of some emergent greatness, imbuing empirical superiority, the manifestation of intrinsically better function gracing our cosmos. Let’s call it smug. In game theory hidden information, such as who is secretly a Werewolf and who is publicly a Villager leaves empty bloody towns. Or, in modern terms: Diddy do-it? Looking at the networks of money over the centuries we see influence clearly: there is no industry or money-making system allowed in America that does not pay homage to craven wretched behavior. Epstein, much? Still ignoring that mash-up of mass hallucinations known as the City Of London? You kids need to research the origins of communism, who funded both Reivh and Soviets, and how Jews got blamed for it. Then, maybe, if your brave… compare-n-contrast recent NATO plans with WWII German expansion and think on Operation Paperclip to realize the German people lost WWII, but those Naughty Boys just repurposed. NATO is Reich III.5. …Hail Hydra, bro. This kid has never grown callouses from actual real world work. Probably groomed to believe he’s Star-bellied Sneetch, but it’s a clown-nose they put on his nose. We have been force-fed milspec propaganda for generations and this clown mocks and derides people trying to use logic as institutionalized lying : from FDA/CDC corruptions, lab plagiarism, R&D voracity, reproducibility, and BOTH of you are mocking those trying to make sense. Sure, Alex Jones can be clownish like this guest, too, but at least he is right on important facts this guy will always miss. All you do is belittle. Yes, you are the very best-trained pavlovian dogs repeatedly told your the superior breed and can’t be told otherwise. Yawn. As we look at the MKUltra children placed at head of Silicon Valley tech this begs the question, where are the Werewolves, because I see eVillagers pretending to be important while deciding little. Lookup the psycho-metrician’s work like Marshmallow studies at Stanford: The G-men have been firmly in control funding just the right families and industries, commandeering the culture, embedding their ‘headless nails’ into ranks, gangster-style inside desls so even secretaries don’t get startup founder stock anymore SOP. Tell us again how the Werewolves don’t run the Stoa. Everybody believes they are the clever ones. Smarter than those guys over there. Not like them wearing the funny hats.
