The limits of human scale… I've posted a long piece on scale and society.  Here is the introduction:

Introduction

Our society is seriously out of scale.  This fact has produced a range of dysfunctional behaviors that we have incorporated into our behavioral framework, creating further imbalance.  The end result will be atomization, depopulation, and social chaos.  The only remedy for this problem, long term, is reduction in scale, achieved by reorganizing nations into manageable and relatively homogenous populations, population and immigration control, and restraint of technological, economic, and social policies which give rise to problems of scale.

This remedy is not, I must stress, a devolution–it is not a reversion to the past, much less an idealized past free from worry.  In any composition of society, there will be tension between traditional and progressive outlooks, there will be complacency and conflict and all the usual human evils.  Nor is the primary concern Malthusian, that is an unsustainable growth in resource consumption (although this too is a problem we face as a result of scale, it is not my focus here).

By scale I mean more than mere population growth; I refer also to the scale of complexity created by the West's conversion to a multicultural, globalized social model.  In this model, all distinctions including race (meaning ethnicity), nationality, culture, and religion are viewed as subordinate to the division between the managerial class and the managed class.  Thus effective democracy is blunted and masses of people are shifted and reorganized in accordance with the decisions of a managerial class.  Aside from the negative consequences brought about by heedless change, a second order of effects is seen in the dramatic increase in social complexity and the need for citizens to accomodate radically different (and in some cases incompatible) outlooks.   

Shutter Island review… My review of Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island, starring Leonardo DiCaprio.   

Culture of Critique part 7… Examining the seventh chapter of Kevin MacDonald's The Culture of Critique, this time focusing on Jewish involvement in the immigration debates.   

Reagan: Hero or Zero?… A considered view of our 40th president.  Were the liberals right, and we're all just racist, sexist, consumerist monsters for voting for him?  I offer my modest demurral.   

Nassim Taleb… In a new post up on My Posting Career, I discuss some of the ideas from Nassim Taleb's books Fooled By Randomness and The Black Swan.   

The problem of over-optimization… Further thoughts on Wither the white middle class?   

Matt Damon and Sam Rockwell were robbed!… Let's talk about the most useless awards ceremony in the history of film!   

Women in the workplace, redux… A few more thoughts on some of the changes that have come about on the coattails of women's suffrage.   

Psychoanalysis and the Culture of Critique… I summarize and discuss Kevin MacDonald's presentation of psychoanalysis as a Jewish science in the latest installment of my overview of The Culture of Critique.   

Women in the workplace… What is the real reason for the eviction of women from their role as homemakers?   

Mel Gibson owns… Who else can make a fat local news personality quiver like a bowl of jelly just by staring him down?   

An examination of The Culture of Critique… A detailed overview and discussion of Kevin MacDonald's controversial book on Jewish influence over five important intellectual movements is up at MyPostingCareer.com.

Kindle 2 review… Is there anything I like about Amazon's e-book reader?   

Unchecked baggage… I review Up in the Air.   

This is not a review of Avatar… It's a brief look at James Cameron's class warfare.   

What's the matter with liberals?… We're not in Kansas anymore.   

Our future is Palin!… More comments on the strangest political fad since a man named Barry learned how to read.   

The trouble with atheists… I make a case for the dangers of atheist morality.   

Great or not so great?… I compile a partial list of worst great movies.

You fools… Getting awfully riled up about Steve Sailer's commenters in The Mad Men thread.   

That thing you Jew… Who's Afraid of Kevin MacDonald?   

Paranormal Activity… Movie review here.   

Why high IQ people lack common sense… The stupidity of intelligence.   

The new Party… In reaction to a Sailer piece, I have a new post on the new Party.  Last sentence:  "The new Party often squabbles loudly over policy differences, but as with Krauthammer it has few if any differences over principle. You might say its differences are all in the family."   

Mad Men discussion… The Mad Men thread on MyPostingCareer.com.   

Review of The Informant!… My review of The Informant! is here.   

My Posting Career… I've set up a forum that will ultimately replace this weblog.  In fact I have two blog-like posts up there now, which is more than my entire contribution to Udolpho.com in the past year:

White culture? That's racist!

Conservative crack-up

More to come!  Visit a forum that gets up to three posts a day!  It only takes 15 minutes to read every thread!  That's easily time you can spare your loved ones.
