Heard this the other day at work, and I think i was the only RPer in the audience who really got it.

Governor Schwarzenegger gave this speech and its full of RP truths. My favorite part starts at 3:02. Edit: Per Kempff's comment, I will elaborate. The...

Why would any alpha care enough to take the time to make an online forum for betas to learn how to compete with him?

This isn't a zero sum game. In fact, we would benefit by having more men tuned in. Why? I'm glad you asked!

1. More men in tune with TRP principles results in a net lowering of Shit tests.

Once we reach critical mass, women will start wising up and realizing that when they shit test a man they are more likely to get brushed aside and left alone than to find a man willing to tolerate it.

2. Fewer beta bucks in the universe

Why is that good for us? Because it means that women will no longer have incentive to ride the carousel knowing that when she stumbles off puking that there will be a convenient beta with a cape and a trash-bag waiting for her. They will have to act in a manner that commands respect.

3. Less pussypass

This one should be self explanatory.

No it doesn't: you're misunderstanding what is punctuated equilibrium, co-evolution & emergent properties of complex systems.

Flat out, if individual agents always work for self-preservation & permit others to perish before having an opportunity to also progress, you'll actually get far less productivity over-all. When you don't do this you get far more productivity & the vast benefits still go to the best-performers but there are no vast benefits to move that way when the entire system is down-graded by preventing the emergent-properties of the system to happen - that is, removing complexity from the interaction, that is, removing interactions so that agents truly are only individual.

This is why nature has herds, tribes, packs, schools of fish, hives of ants or bees - they can do so much more together & all are better than they'd be as individuals.

That's also why the most powerful forms of life on Earth are multi-cellular, although those unicellular fuckers still hang on very tight. They are just very limited in what they can do to proceed. They are very durable, however.

No, you're not understanding.

Voluntary trade by x parties benefits ALL parties - even those not in the trade.

You don't know what individual buffalo or sheep actually do: for all you know those who are weak do slow down enough to let the herd survive. You'll never know but we do know that mother birds of various sorts absolutely will sacrifice their lives so their unhatched or newly hatched young will survive.

Central planning is bad for some situations but not all. Centralization reduces complexity, which reduces emergent benefits, but it also reduces redundant costs, which increases output efficiency. It's just not good for rapidly changing environments. Once an environment is stable the exploitation of it using a centralized system is maximum efficiency.

That's why nature uses both techniques: hives in some cases, lone-wolf hunter in others.

Your point is wrong. I addressed what's right and that's how your point is addressed.

My prior comment explained it. For example, America & healthcare. This is ultimate failure. The winner-takes-all attitude leads to massive illness & death that is unstoppable. Reason: greed, selfishness. The benefit one person gets from being on top is minuscule to the benefit of of many more productive people who all avoid getting sick, as they will be workers, which will be more productive when not absent from work (or dead) and will then make more profit for companies they work for which presumably are run by the people who already can afford the best healthcare.

That's the need to give something back to yourself via larger dividends via the emergent mechanism of the larger environment which in this case includes other humans.

What I'm saying is the winner-take-all individualist-only approach actually causes massive damage to everyone including one's self comparing the 2 alternatives: all-individual or maximizing collective returns as a dividend because of better planning in understanding there is an emergent property in nature with populations and exploiting it.

No, socialism is when the people directly own the means of production.

What you're actually seeing is corporate Fascism as enabled by the richest, most powerful in America.

For example, the Obamacare nonsense isn't any kind of healthcare, it's a giant bailout for the insurance corporations since the banks got their own bailout already.

In Canada we have nothing like it, it costs much less & is much more available. People miss much less work due to sickness. This makes our country more productive. This makes our cost of living much lower. The cost can't be higher without fraud.

Not doing math with inflation is also problematic: what you posted quotes 1 or 2 dollars a year at the turn of the century but inflation has been a steady 6% rise declining the purchasing power of a dollar that much each year. Compounding this using powers this means 1.06 to the power 100 = 339.30 after 100 years in equivalent purchasing power. That was never a day's wages 100 years ago. It's not a day's wages today for most people either.

If medicine were socialist we'd all be doctors, all training each other to make medicines, to do surgery & to make make-shift hospitals on the spot for as long as we need them. Which would probably be good for lots of reasons regarding contagion: just imagine a hospital "room" was actually torn apart & burned for firewood when it wasn't needed anymore. We still burn stuff for fuel/cooking and I'll tell you that fire will probably even kill ebola.

The idea that health is "insurance" is nonsensical. Healthcare is an everyday piece of work combining prevention, medicine & treatment for injury if there is any, or having the tools on hand to handle it if it happens (first-aid)
