What This Country Needs is a Good Five-Cent Battery
Posted by Bob in History, How Things Work on 07/06/2007
I was discussing the Dick Tracy wrist radio of the 1950s comics. One day it was impossible, the next day it was part of the inevitable future. William Shockley, one of those who was on our side on racial differences later, invented the transistor. One no longer needed a vacuum tube and the minimum rather substantial power needed for it.
If we found a battery which was an equal improvement on our present truly primitive ones, the same thing would happen. Right now there is lots of argument over nuclear power and so forth, but when we can produce energy anywhere and put it in cartable batteries, places will be found and new energy sources would explode into existence.
Coal and iron were resources countries fought over in 1914. Now we have more of both than we need. A cartable battery would do the same thing to oil.






Extension on Biological Engineering and Race
At the end of 1800s the wireless telegraphy moved slowly from picking up resonance across a lawn without a wire to a mile away to line-of-sight to ship-to-ship to transatlantic. Despite the telephone, there were learned articles about how VOICE on the new medium was a laughable idea.
In the 1950s one of the top comic strips was Dick Tracy. Tracy had only one high-tech gadget, a “wrist telephone.” There were many discussions of whether such a two-way radio could ever be made small enough to go on one’s wrist. For one thing, all radio transmitters required a vacuum tube and an electrical supply for it.
A couple of years ago I saw a pair of wrist radios on sale to a generation that never heard of Dick Tracy for three dollars, about a quarter back then.
“You can’t do that anymore than you can FLY” But all of us have flown. Technology has a way of catching up with Timeless Wisdom when that Timeless Wisdom depends entirely on what cannot be done technologically. Which is anther way of saying that a society based on the acquisition of knowledge, of simple truth, has a way of rendering the Practical Man’s flat statements absurd.
Which becomes OUR problem.
It is relatively easy to talk about some version of the economic collapes of the 1930s, about which we have abundant quotes and which everybody can see in their minds. Meanwhile the actual revolution is literally right in front of us. Every day your cell phones and computers change the parameters of our society. But we keep talking about economic collapse because, as Charles Issawi pointed out, like generals who are always planning the last war, social scientists are always looking forward to the last crisis.
If you want a PICTURE of what I am talking about, try to imagine a roundtable of Practical Men sitting down in 1907 to discuss the Future of the Mass Media in 2007. I do not live in the present, so tome it is always HILARIOUS to hear someone quoting the latest Coming Crisis in terms of a popular book written by an Expert.
TO BE an Expert on the mass media in1907, you would have to know all about the LIMITATIONS of technology in that age. Everything we are ACTUALLY talking about now would be as hilarious to them as everything THEY would actually have discussed to us.
But this is OUR problem, not THEIRS. The Experts and Futurolgists will get paid no matter how silly they repeatedly prove to be. They get paid and promoted in the NOW, not THEN. But if you are trying to save our race, the future is all that matters.
This is critical, not to the Experts, but to US:
BEING RIGHT ABOUT THE FUTURE IS SURVIVAL.
And you’re not going to figure out the future just by quoting what is being said now.






I Don’t Do Your Googling for You
Scimitar wrote that they “weren’t aware” that Vermont ever had an antimiscegenation law.
This is the sort of comment antis make, and they seem to expect ME to Gogle it for them.
Slavery was abolished in Vermont by a court decision in 1775. I was surprised that it came up, considering the number of blacks in Vermont. There were a few hundred blacks there as late as 1970.
Maine was part of Massachusetts for a oong time after the Revolution, though the two were not continguous. It simply adopted its antimiscegenation law from that of the Bay State.
If you KNOW Vermont was the only exception to this rule, let me know. What you are not aware of is of no interest to me.






Whitaker Thinking, Biological Revolution, and Race
Posted by Bob in Coaching Session, Comment Responses on 07/06/2007
Several commenters have responded wth their opinions on the biological revolution. One brought up his specific doubts abut our producing real whites and not “paint jobs.” But what is really critical is not our predictions.
If you do what I keep recommending, and step back from the immediate argument to take a new look at it, the important observation takes place:
THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE WHERE THIS DISCUSSION IS GOING ON!
On every one of the hundreds of sites which are dedicated to saving the white race, every discussion is in terms of the PAST. But I am NOT an Only True Way type. I wish there were ten thousand of those sites talking about the white birth rate and assimilation as a threat. I am NOT saying that now that we have found The True Whitaker Way all others should abandon what they are doing and sit at my feet.
We have ADDED a dimension to the discussion. As SysOp and I have discussed in terms of evolution, we can add dimensions to our discussion precisely because we DO NOT agree on the facts. This leads to a more important general point: To any society but ours, this is an absolutely ALIEN concept.
Only whites developed the concept of The Moot. The whole idea of a seminar is becoming alien to OUR society. In every other society, the Disciples ask questions and The Master comes up with The Answer.
I’m fat, but I ain’t Buddha.
So Scimitar brings up Vermont and Al Parker brings up posterity and I give AN answer. That’s what I’m here for. But our uniqueness, if I succeed, is that you begin to realize how UNIQIUE we need to be in a world of Only True Faiths, established religions and professor-priesthoods.
This also means I want more EXTENSIONS of our way of thought. That is HARD work. It is a lot easier to talk about what is on other web sites. People were discussing gravity long before Newton came along.
