Working in the corporate world for the past twenty years, I have seen an endless parade of silly fads introduced by various consultants. Usually these initiatives are released with much fanfare (and with great cost) only to be usurped by a new fad within six months.
One of the common business consulting myths was the idea that the Chinese word for "crisis" is composed of elements that signify "danger" and "opportunity." This was presented by consultants as some motivational tripe in order to encourage the employees when things were going to Hell. “Hey, our sales may be down, but remember the ancient Chinese wisdom that a crises is really an opportunity!”
Chinese linguist experts at the University of Pennsylvania have finally explained in detail why this is an urban myth. A better translation that “opportunity” would be “dangerous moment”. Of course, an accurate translation would not sell motivational books.
This whole episode reminded me of the fad motivational book called “Who Moved My Cheese?” As near as I can figure this book was targeted to children in First Grade who suffer from severe learning disorders. The book was silly and patronizing. Basically the “lesson” was that you need to find other opportunities when someone steals your “cheese”. Executives loved to pass out this book in an attempt to appease employees while the executives were financially raping the companies.
OKCupid revealed some interesting statistical data based on dating preferences and race. The higher the number, the greater the interest. For example, Asian men rate Asian women 11% higher that a neutral rating. However, Asian men have no interest (-24%) in black women. What is interesting is that White men now prefer Asian women (18%) over White women (5%). In 2009 White men still preferred White women (10%) over Asian women (6%). It is a rough world for Asian men and Black women. Only Asian women like Asian men. And not even Black men like Black women. http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/race-attraction-2009-2014/ Many Eurasian men are now despondent about their situation. White girls typically do not like Asian men. And Asian girls either want an Asian man or a White man. https://wilkes888.wordpress.com/2015/02/08/final-message-thank-you-everyone/ https://longingfordeath.wordpress.com/2015/02/05/eurasian-mental-illness-in-motion-example-number-1/ https://longingfordeath.wor...
One of the cool things of doing videos is that it has allowed me to meet all sorts of interesting people (both on the Left and the Right). It is amazing how many doors a camera will open. While I was in Washington Harold Covington agreed to an interview. Harold currently advocates a creation of a homeland for White people in the Pacific Northwest. To me it basically sounds like Zionism for White people. As Harold is a controversial character, the security measures to arrange a meeting were interesting. But everyone was quite nice. I hope do to more video interviews with interesting characters across the world. There is a famous Russian that I hope to meet soon and get an interview. Below is an interview Covington did for Vice magazine: http://www.vice.com/read/this-guy-wants-to-start-his-own-aryan-country Blow is a link to his weekly radio show. And there are links on that web site to his novels. Harold was kind enough to provide me with a signed novel called "The Brigade". h...
I hope everyone has a happy 2016! We have seen an explosive growth of the Alt Right across the world this year. the energy and excitement is amazing! My goal is to look to the future and help establish self-determination for all people. I believe that can best be done by looking toward the future instead of being stuck in the past. However, every few years I tend to get embroiled in a debate with the 14/88 crowd claiming that I have some moral duty to advocate for their notion of Nazism. I keep telling these people that I do not share their values and they should go away and do their own thing. But for some unknown reasons, they keep latching on to me. And then they invariably will watch a video or hear an interview and get all butt hurt again. They think that I have some sort of obligation to advocate for their Sieg Heil nonsense. I don't. And I won't. Of course, I suspect I know some of the reasons. Based on the history of "neo-nazis" we know that many are shills an...
