Is there anywhere or anyone who is actually building a gulch of Intellectual minded individuals.

    Non sequitur. Besides, the selection instinct blocks inter-species attraction. This aversion program unfortunately kicks in not just for mating but also for differences of culture, skin color, political opinion and other variations (like which end of an egg to open) and leads to prejudice, bigotry, hate, feuds, demonization and wars.

    You've "done some Hot Barbie's" and don't call that a relationship? Even one-night stands are relationships if you have relations, no matter how brief, for your personal use and pleasure. By the way, how did helium brains serve your self-respect?

    Great question and thread here! Nobody has mentioned the book"Atlas Snubbed." If you want a very realistic and gripping account of how things could shake out in the US (small Gulch communities forming) and also a fascinating, stimulating sequel to Atlas Shrugged, I heartily recommend it. Anyone else read it here?

    Another agreement from me! I'll share where I am "hiding" and building my gulch in plain site right here: http://buildingabrandonline.com/engin...
    I invite everyone here to join me by creating your own online gulch. Build a strong enough offense, make yourself independent of location or wages, and the gulch is wherever YOU are.

    A Grey back Gorrella is physically stronger and more athletic than almost all men so are you telling me that the Hot smart girls are wanting The Great Ape over the 6'2" male with a 160 IQ. because what I am talking about would be about the same analogy. Don't get me wrong I have done some Hot Barbie's with Helium for brains myself but never ever have I thought of a relationship with one.

    why keep it quite Bit coin is part of the revolution and it's doing fine. Not my thing gold silver backed is my preference but it's already been done and they can't stop it. Don't you see they act like they have all this power IT'S AN ILLUSION. They can't exercise it even if they want too if the group is large enough and not a bunch of ying yang religious fanatics.

    I had heard a couple of years ago that there was a move to get as many libertarian-type people as possible to move to New Hampshire, and basically take over the government by voting in like-minded politicians. Although Libertarian is not synonymous with Objectivist, there is a lot of common ground. Unfortunately I REALLY don't like cold weather. It's beautiful up that way in the summer, though, and of course the fall.

    yep already part of the plan. The new tests I don't think really prove much. I wrote a practice test with my daughter and it seemed stupid, like text messaging questions but the grouping of letters could signify any number of answers all of which would be correct. The tests I wrote had old German war cyphers, number problems, sequential problems ect.

    Beg to differ. Females are attracted to physical prowess, athletes, sports stars, musclemen, rock stars -- it's a built-in instinct for mate selection of alpha males. Intellectual prowess can be found even among physical weaklings but seldom trumps the hunks.

    The top of the gene pool needs both physical excellence and mental brilliance. King Solomon allegedly had 1000 baby mamas, spreading his superior genes throughout the tribe. If you want eugenic improvement of the species by exercising genetic engineering, you still have to get over the hurdle of love, which knows better than arrogant humans whom to select as a mate; i.e., whose genes to vote for for propagation.

    Make no mistake: it is the females who select which male may inject. Regimenting this by government edict, mandating sterilization of those judged inferior and enforced mating between University denizens as though they were farm animals is a prescription for tyranny of the worst kind. Not the sort of community I'd care to join.

    Great Idea! . I bet that you will sell a lot of those!
    when they mandated the clip, it really pissed off a
    lot of riggers. . crane operators with the talent to
    un-hook and re-hook loads were suddenly dummies.
    but the safety advantage was real. . Best of Luck
    with your product, Bruce!!! -- john

    congrats. two questions. why only mensa rated individuals? I find productive and inventive individuals do not have to have exceptionally high IQs. Let us know if we can help you. My husband is an Objectivist and patent atty.

    every 1200 years and it is somewhat gradual ,quick swings centuries long bubbles big swing we are in the same swing period that erik discovered Greenland . WIKI From 986 CE, Greenland's west coast was settled by Icelanders and Norwegians, through a contingent of 14 boats led by Erik the Red. These settlers formed three settlements—known as the Eastern Settlement, the Western Settlement and Ivittuut the "Middle Settlement"—on fjords near the southwestern-most tip of the island.[7][27] They shared the island with the late Dorset culture inhabitants who occupied the northern and western parts, and later with the Thule culture arriving from the north. Norse Greenlanders submitted to Norwegian rule in the 13th century, and the Kingdom of Norway entered into a personal union with Denmark in 1380, and from 1397 was a part of the Kalmar Union.[28] 5000 meat eating settler need 50000 fertile acres per year to sustain life. They were there for half a century. 5000 may or may not include Irish slaves if not and that would be plausible because they wouldn't be considered part of citizenry or settlers you could add several thousand to that number.

    The settlements, such as Brattahlíð, thrived for centuries but disappeared sometime in the 15th century, perhaps at the onset of the Little Ice Age.[29] Apart from some runic inscriptions, no contemporary records or historiography survives from the Norse settlements. Icelandic saga accounts of life in Greenland were composed in the thirteenth century and later, and do not constitute primary sources for the history of early Greenland.[15] Modern understanding therefore depends on the physical data. Interpretation of ice core and clam shell data suggests that between 800 and 1300 CE, the regions around the fjords of southern Greenland experienced a relatively mild climate several degrees Celsius higher than usual in the North Atlantic,[30] with trees and herbaceous plants growing and livestock being farmed. Barley was grown as a crop up to the 70th parallel.[31] What is verifiable is that the ice cores indicate Greenland has experienced dramatic temperature shifts many times over the past 100,000 years.[32] Similarly the Icelandic Book of Settlements records famines during the winters in which "the old and helpless were killed and thrown over cliffs".[30]

    The last written records of the Norse Greenlanders are of a marriage in 1408 in the church of Hvalsey—today the best-preserved Nordic ruins in Greenland.
    These Icelandic settlements vanished during the 14th and 15th centuries, probably as a result of famine and increasing conflicts with the Inuit.[33]

    If you are in the United States, the federal government can bring almost unlimited force against you to enforce taxation and regulation. You cannot possible have a town with enough resources to stop them.

    I'm not as sure about Canada, but they probably would be just as aggressive -- someone has to pay for their healthcare system.

    A government sees few threats greater than one that limits their ability to tax their people. Even George Washington led troops against Americans in the Whisky Rebellion.

    How would that make me 'more' dependent? No one pays you with cash any more. Even your SS check has to go to the bank. Hence the caveat, "as close as I can get".

    don't know about you but my daughter is dating a ignorant highschool only hockey player. this is going to help the gene pool NOT. A species evolves by the reproduction between two mates at the top of the gene pool not a mix and match (watch Idiocracy) We need a community where the children would find others from outside that community too far below them to be attracted and special exeptions would be the ones who should be there anyway (ie ppl they meet in University)

    Where are the looters coming from and how are they gonna loot anything from a culture that is intellectually better wiser and more prepared. Better armed should also be in there.but in Canada we if we take control of a town can set up our own police force with all of us if we want hired to be the police. all legal and even partially funded by the province.
