      [continued from previous message]              people often hate successful people way more than they hate thieves or       burglars due to envy.              I'll give you an example. Say you come up with a more efficient       technique to increase labors' productivity. Say you create steam       engines, the start of western civilization as we know it. Obviously       this will benefits labors. Increased labor's productivity will       increase demand for labors that'll increase labor's market price.       This, however, will hurt the interest of less productive business       owners that already have their capitals stuck in less productive       industry, possibly due to some unfair governments' protection where       productivity doesn't matter. I can go on and on telling how this is       the real cause behind American civil war but that's beyond this       article.              So, what would the other business do? They'll want you to fail. Will       they honestly say that they want you to fail because you hurt their       business by increasing labor's salary? No. They will say that       increasing labor's productivity, with machinery, will require less       labor for the same task. This in turn will reduce demands for labors.       Hence, they will demand governments' official to protect less       productive industry. Most people do not understand how macro economy       work and would agree. Finally, they'll just get governments to high       handedly prohibit you from using better techniques.              What would you do? If you don't know better, you will probably say,       "Don't worry about the reduced demand for labors lah. If       entrepreneurs like me increase labors' productivity, then I'll make       even more money for every one additional labor that I hire. Hence, I       will hire as many labors as possible. This will create demand for       labors increasing their market value. So, the labors are benefited too       rather than hurt." Will this appease your opponents? Will they say,       "Oh the labors are benefited, so okay lah"? No. Your opponents'       real concern is that you're tough competitors. If you address the       pretext, they'll get even madder. They'll think, "Oh no, this guy       will not only do it, they'll do it big. Also he can get many people       to agree with him if we let them talk."              So there it goes crazier and crazier pretext outcry. You name it. Your       ancestors kill their savior. Your words offend their religion. A mark       in your body means you're a witch. Your ideas are like (pick one:       Nazi, Hitler, idiots, parasites, etc.)              If you successfully mate with many females and make a lot of money,       will less productive males say, "I hate this person because he is       superior and more attractive than I am"? No. They're going to say       that you're inferior and therefore must be sent to gas chamber,       concentration camps, etc. Since when being inferior is wrong anyway? We       all have our plusses and minus. Often inferior accusations are raised       against those whose real issues are quite the opposites.              What else would less desirable males competitors would say? They will       say a lot. They will say that polygamy, prostitution, and free sex have       to be illegal. Will they say that polygamy should be illegal to ration       females to less desirable males? No! They will say that polygamy should       be made illegal to "protect women." We can only wonder how any       adult humans can be protected from consensual choices. A variation is       that somehow they come up to portray consensual choices as       inconsensual.              What about if women circumvent that rules by emulating marriage with       prostitution? Well, they make prostitution illegal too. What about if       women just enjoy free sex? They make it illegal too, or when not,       they'll do their best to discourage it by saying that it's against       something way too difficult to disprove like "religion,"       "morality," "spirituality" and yada yada yada.              Children are prevented from watching enlightening movies like porn and       forced to watch bull shit romance movies. Such children could end up       trapped in very unhappy marriage when they grew older.              After that they set up child support requirements to be proportional to       a man's wealth. That way, welfare parasites can make, and even       encouraged to make, thousands of kids more than what he can afford       while a billionaire cannot make as many kids as he can afford. Both       will be better of if the welfare parasites get bigger TV and the       billionaires make more kids.              An innocent successful human that consensually interact will think that       this is a misunderstanding. "Oh so they want to protect women. It       seems that their concern is that the women may be coerced into       prostitution. Well, fine, I'll just perform prostitution in public       then so every body knows that no guns are being pointed to the       women's' head anytime." Will they be appeased? No, they'll get       even madder. They'll say such actions offend people, damage morality,       etc. etc. etc.       So what would you do?              You would think, "Ah may be this people do not understand that women       want the best genes. Let's start a scientific inquiry about what       women's' want. Something likes Kinsey's report, with standard       anonymous surveys, etc." Will they said, "Ah, now I got scientific       evidences. It turns out prostitution and free sex can indeed be       consensual. Okay, I'll make it legal then." Of course not. That's       not the real issue. The real issue is that poor dumb males are not       getting chicks and ugly women's' son will be out competed by the       sons of the pretty. So they'll get even madder. They will attack the       scientific inquiry.              Failure to recognize which accusation is envy motivated and which       accusation is real can be very dangerous.              You can read http://geocities.com/afriendnottohave for another detailed       sample of how dangerous it is to be compassionate to an obnoxious envy       people.              The story talks about a guy successfully getting a lot of network       contacts through friendly means. Then a very envy "old hag" accuses       the person of pretending to be her friend. The accused friendly       presumed this must be a misunderstanding and compassionately tries to       save her from embarrassment by explaining her mistakes so he doesn't       have to do so publicly. In which cases, the accusations simply keep       changing increasing the number of envy people that join force.              Wrong moves. It's dangerous to ever think an envy people is a friend       no matter how friendly she pretend to be. That's not the big problem       actually. We all tend to be friendly to many people. It's just what       being polite means. Of course there is a risk that a bigot envy person       is one of them. The real mistake is to compassionately try to appease.       That's just wrong wrong wrong. It's important to simply address       hostile envy motivated accusation with even more hostile explanation       explaining their true nature.              How do envy affects our society?              Bad. When smarter people see that honest ways of making money are all       blocked, what will they do? They'll turn into corruptors. Humans       maximize their profit. Each of us will get our share based on how       capable we are. There is no such thing as equality of result as we do       not have equal ability and equal choice.              Look at all countries around us and all countries all the time. From       the communist North Korea, the Mongol empire, the capitalistic US. In       all those countries, the smarter end up the richest and happiest no       matter what. Capitalism is, in fact, the most moderate among all those.       Perhaps, principles of free market is much simpler to understand than       the art of war or political intricacies.                     [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
