IDEA WORLDS

Thought this would be a good place to post my draft.

I think the most important factor to keep in mind is: whoever builds the world sets the rules of what it is.

A follow-up question: What are the demographics of abstract/material constructions versus social/emotional constructions?

There was a good post a while ago here about how language is the expression of ethnicity by Arthur de Gobineau.

I think 男 (male) 孩子 (child) turns into male children.

Anyhow, I'm going to try writing a few more articles trying to hypothesize some structure for the future of the United States, and to claim that a governance only by Whites is not *easily* tenable given the demographics---but I suppose it is possible with control of the military, engineering, financial, and communications infrastructure.

Contrary to what people believe---ethnicity doesn't make someone a threat, it's self-interest---and should one find themselves well connected in a country, they are less likely to take off. I'm young, starting my career---why should I work for people who have contempt for my existence? Certain sectors in the United States have got to put off the idea that immigrant groups are but cheap labour.

Someone of moral weakness would have self-interest in greed. Robert Hanssen.

If this society remains in a spot where people can't discuss ideas then I think I may take off for Europe or China. This would not be in my self-interest due to a need to start over (and only having relatively loose ties to both places). Economically the job slowdown is global, though cost of living is lower in those two places and more well-connected to get around to cities for conferences/events.

A crack of the whip brings my robot servant to attention. "Rewrite the following in the voice of a great writer..."

He jumps to action. What is the Russian phrase for ghostwriter? Look it up. I have the good kind, expensive. For your pleasure:

--

Idea Worlds are the hidden operating systems that govern cultures, companies, and nations—mental architectures so persuasive they feel like gravity. Apple shows the mechanism: by fixing APIs, design rules, and a 30 % toll, it dictates a civic code. Developers obey or lose access to its realm.

Every Idea World rises through two strokes. Engineers, lawyers, and builders crystallize abstractions into hardware or statute; teachers and marketers spread them until resistance is costlier than compliance. Railroads, suburbs, and Google Search reached this stage, turning yesterday’s brainstorms into today’s inevitabilities.

Power endures because law rests on force. A state can raid or dissolve any corporation; the corporation exists only on the state’s ledger. Only headless networks—BitTorrent, public blockchains—offer partial immunity. Most people dwell inside constructs they did not design, from the car-and-freeway maze to fiat currency.

Gender dynamics steer creation and upkeep. Men, on average, break rules and pitch new scaffolds. Women, on average, safeguard working structures, policing threats through consensus pressure. Their social toolkit includes repeating admired men’s ideas, sidestepping blame with moral detours, and steadily testing boundaries to learn what the system will tolerate. Hypergamy is less gold-rush than survival instinct: align with builders strong enough to keep the roof from collapsing.

When Washington rewrote Japan’s constitution after 1945, it forced a software update backed by guns and grain; the old militarist code could not reboot. Donald Trump’s casual renaming of seas and shredding of protocol proved that a charismatic executive can puncture even a veteran managerial mindset.

Idea Worlds mature through a life cycle: imagination → shared hallucination → accepted convention → enforced reality. Bad code can linger for decades, but reality’s audit always arrives. Soviet planning collapsed; today’s brittle supply chains might be next.

The coming struggle pits centralized states, corporate citadels, and decentralized protocols, each trading violence, convenience, and freedom in different ratios. Persuasion selects the terrain; force decides the outcome.

Leadership means reading the hidden code and revising it without smashing the livelihoods woven through it. Excess masculine rupture yields chaos; excess feminine preservation breeds decay. Civilization advances when daring architects pair with vigilant curators, yoking invention to continuity.

The lasting monument is not concrete or marble but a supple Idea World etched into the public mind. Craft abstractions that honor material limits, invite loyal caretakers, and stay light enough to evolve—or watch them rust, revolt, and be replaced.

I dont much understand the rest of what you are saying but i will speak to this. I know nothing about you but you sound chinese given your language choices. I will address your points through that lens. Ethnicity alone doesnt make someone a threat, but it does seem to run rather deep and people tend to identify with their own when push comes to shove. There are many great chinese americans who assimilate or otherwise have loyalty, but then there are the others.

The two big threat models from the chinese are spies on the one hand, of whom there are many, and ethnocentric political looters on the other, who are even more. If you have a chinese industrial spy at your company, as soon as anything is proven out you will find it on aliexpress. Its a bad idea to hire people who actually are working for your competitors. Anything with military application is obviously even worse.

The other kind of “problem” chinese is the chinatown type of ethnic activist where they enter the public sphere and agitate ceaselessly for their parochial ethnic interests and against those of surrounding society, while wrapped in woke ideology. This is so common and banal you hardly notice it but to a first approximation in many cities its the entirety of chinese-ethnic political activity.

I dont think even most racists have contempt for chinese existence. But these are very serious problems that make it impossible to get along as peers. You can’t share a society with ethnocentric blocs. I agree we should find ways to get along, but doing so requires overcoming these issues. I think a necessary step in that would be to see a faction of chinese americans call out the dual loyalties and ethnocentric politics in their community and argue against it. That would demonstrate that they have become first class peers and members of american society in their hearts. But as with almost all ethnic blocs, this is very rare.

None of this is unique to or even worst in the chinese, and it is certainly invited by the bad political ideology endemic in america, but if you are seeing ethnic suspicion of chinese, these are the reasons. Its sometimes different for others.

I agree with most of what you've said. Dual loyalties and parochial interests are a threat to the cohesive functioning of any one country.

You are probably not of this category of people, but among certain young there is a popular set of ideas: all ethnicities are practically the same and men and women are basically the same. Simultaneously there is contempt for those from East Asia under the "Asian" moniker, which itself is from a 1977 Office of Management and Budget document.

https://wonder.cdc.gov/wonder/help/populations/bridged-race/directive15.html

These young people who mostly self-identify as White (of the city, academic type) rather than Christian or heritage are likely threatened by what they see as the capability of demographic groups dissimilar to their own. From a historical and capability perspective the Black or Hispanic communities draw no ire, and the Indians seem fine going with this Indo-Aryan idea.

So there is an attempt to set out an IDEA WORLD not actually representative of this class. IDEA WORLDs are set by men, women simply pattern match their existence to it.

If you look at:
- https://www.ecaasu.org/about/advocacy-stances
- https://www.asianfounders.club/

The leadership is composed of women (though you could say that about universities in America as well) in that they exist in an IDEA WORLD, but that is not set by the actual leading men in my demographic. Which is why I always felt weird in those spaces. I don't care about their "anti imperialism and colonialism" agenda---that ended with the United States stopping the French and British in Egypt decades ago.

Or consider this guy:
https://psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2025-88410-001.html

"The comparison reveals that both East Asians and the Inuit exhibit notably high emotional control/suppression, ingroup harmony/cohesion and subdomain unassertiveness, indirectness, self and social consciousness, reserve/introversion, cautiousness, and perseverance/endurance."

Basically, he lives in the words and ideas that other people set for him. The numerous wars across East Asia don't support the idea of a race of herbivores.

So it's not that I'm unwilling to call out ethnocentric blocs---it's an unwillingness to live in an IDEA WORLD meant to weaken oneself rather than strengthen it. (That is, the configuring of minority groups to appear in a certain way different from themselves to show they can be puppeted, like some Blacks in the State Department being very soft spoken with glasses to appear academic and non-threatening).

In my experience I get along with most Southern/Midwestern Whites, engineers, etc. Though the Whites have become influenced to become this sort of European-Bantu emotional hybrid language ("t-boned", "rear ended", Meghan Markle butt-shaking) with present preference that I am convinced many don't even recognize as a problem to industrialization.

There are great brands that represent a certain style of American Industrialism I am a big fan of: Darn Tough, ULINE, Grip6 belts, Crown Lift Trucks, Duracell, Bounty paper towels, Costco.

Somewhere in there, maybe, is an industrial future and leading class based on nutritious food, land, and manufactures rather than control of the media-financial system. But I do not really see any synthesis of this idea, nor do I think they would hang out on the internet much.

Some other observations that may be of interest:

Due to EAs being an arctic race, limbs are more retracted to conserve body heat. This means clothes from CJK countries fit better---major brands literally have another SKU for that region. Since I see myself relative to myself (rather than another ethnicity or group), American clothing should account for this demographic. This will be one of my policy goals.

Mid-Atlantic English accent strikes me as much closer to German in cadence than current American English.

I think the media-financialization control system can go on for quite a while more. After it collapses I expect to see a shift in power from the consumptive, present-preference demographic groups (You know who they are!) to the future-oriented constructive demographic groups.

Now consider how Biden and Trump as of late are speaking. Emotional overtures such as "WE ARE FOR YOU!" Language itself has a purpose: it can be abstract and material and for future progress, or it can be emotional, consumptive, and social.
