- Michael van der Riet: @Bomag at the height of the beef trade, Argentina was one of the richest nations on earth.
- Jim: Sadism is its own reward.
- Jim: *a class of “people” utterly foreign and inimical to the Founding Fathers and their intended civilization
- Jim: The purpose of a system is what it does. The powers that be desire to more thoroughly institutionalize the public children. Thus, the schools are made ever more thoroughly into prisons, aesthetically, functionally, and socially. Stupidity is insufficient to explain why, for example, the U.S. government makes you take your shoes off at the airport because an Arab boarded an airliner in Paris with an explosive in his shoe twenty-three years ago. Why does the U.S. government scan your naked body or...
- Jim: Bob Sykes: America does not have a gun problem. It has a black problem. Over 55% of all gun murders, and over 75% of all mass shootings are committed by underclass black men between 15 and 30. Without young black men, America’s crime statistics would be pretty close to Switzerland’s. People like Zaid Jilani are a major problem themselves, as they are committed to obscuring the problem and diverting attention away from the cause, which is black genetics. As an antiwhite racist, what if America’s real...
- roy in nipomo: The inclusion of “stand your ground” when discussing murder seems to be an attempt to preclude self-defense.
- McChuck: The RAND corporation is wholly Leftist, and the conclusions it arrives upon are those it was paid to produce.

- Jim: Respectfully, the Gnomes of Zürich are unlikely to have “eagerly acquiesc[ed]” to the surrender of their ancient, cherished neutrality. Let’s not blame the presumed victims of vaguely articulated threats of bunker-busting nuclear rain for their submission to FATCA et al. For Americans, of course, the tragedy is in how the set of U.S. persons can be implicitly expanded or contracted to a truly shocking degree according with the objectives of the executive agency in question.
- Phileas Frogg: Jim, That’s true, on both counts, but with regard to the second we’ll see if Switzerland and its reputation can survive the present imperial hubris inspiring the dictate’s coming from Washington, to which it appears to be eagerly acquiescing. There is still time to salvage their traditional neutrality, and the strength prestige it afforded them, but the portents are certainly disfavorable. https://www.nato.int/cps /en/natohq/news_213105.h tm?selectedLocale=en...
- Buckethead: Isegoria, you seem to have a disappearing comment issue.
- Brod Ross: I your interested in this subject Mail me. B
- Jim: But it’s also possible to overfit the patterns of life. Switzerland has been the impenetrable mountain fortress of world banking for seven centuries.
- Jim: Bomag: A harping of two themes: the libertarian love of trade as the source of wealth; and apologizing for Africa. Wondering if he dealt with the usual counter-factuals: Japan, rocky islands less than 200 miles wide, did so well; Argentina, lots of ports and resources, did not do so well. Why did Switzerland, no ports and difficult geography, do so well? Great comment, LOL.

- T. Beholder: Then it made England friendly to the United States. Then it made France friendly to the United States. Then it made Finland friendly to the United States. And then Canada and Mexico… uh… wait… Nevermind, «As of 2014 all — including Japan — are allies». And if you boosted a washing machine to spin as hard as the author spins this, it would be able to turn yarn into millinery felt. :]

- Jim: The most interesting aspect of CBDC is that its dollars would not be created by the mortgaging of real estate.
- Jim: Some days I like hipsters more than bears, and some days I like bears more than hipsters. But at least they aren’t conservatives.
- Phileas Frogg: Strategy games are actually pretty useful for developing, honing, and maintaining competitive thought patterns, but I’ve noticed that you can have several different successful patterns emerge when you observe a closed strategic eco-system (as it was with my friends when we used to have to do everything via LAN in the 90′s and early 00′s) My one friend was always good at optimization, he grasped the internal systems of the game quickly and then ruthlessly exploited them....
