		<description><![CDATA[Terribly sorry for Social Matter not to have been among your best referrers. I think I have found a suitable remedy. Look for great things in 2017. We&#039;ll all be tired of winning I&#039;m sure.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I originally found this site while doing an Internet search for a clear version of &quot;Conquest&#039;s Three Laws.&quot;  I probably would have noticed Isegoria eventually in some other manner, but that&#039;s what initially brought me here.  

I look at new posts as they are made.  To me, often they aren&#039;t as interesting to me as the ability to follow indexing backwards based on authors or thinkers you have cited, such as Paul Graham, or Pasha Glubb, or whoever.  

So, for me, part of the value here is the cumulated history of the site and the indexing.  

This site has much better indexing than (say) West Hunter.  But West Hunter has better commenters &#8212; it&#039;s almost like a seminar after it concluded and moved to a bar.  Steve Sailer has good commenters, but there are too many monomaniac posers (not just posters) there who don&#039;t add value, compared to (say) West Hunter.   

Aside from an ongoing focus on military affairs, I&#039;m not entirely sure what the &quot;niche&quot; of the blog or the author is.  That&#039;s not terrible, but sometimes it helps the blogger build a fan base.  For example, Steve Sailer likes to come back to IQ, in part because he has asserted that coverage of it was a target rich environment because reporting on it was so thin and incompetent.  

Thanks for the blog!  I will keep coming back.]]></description>
