Chineese serve as scapegoats in the South-East Asia because they are successful. Muslim government in Malaysia officially discriminates against Chineese, favoring local Muslims instead, and as usually it fires back, insulating the Muslims from the healthy competition and rendering them more and more useless losers. Losers hate winners, and blame them for their own failures.The same comes true about all "Civil RIghts " and "Antidiscrimination" Acts of the 1960-s: all their effects were negative for the "opressed ones", all they did is stopping the trend of narrowing gap between majority and minorities, ruined minorities families, insulated them from healthy competition of the free market, thus, rendering them forever poor losers. Usual paradox of life– all those "civil right activists" only destroy human rights, all self-appointed "minority rights" activists such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton serve only themselves, while doing everything they can to prevent the full integration of minorities (because it would be the end of their lucrative political career).
Yeah, right, all their Big Government-style "fixes" fixed nothing, just making it worse, as expected, and all these "good wishers" were full of sh.. Oi, I mean, full of noble intentions. Noble intentions always pave road to hell. The actual goal of the Democ-rats is to turn as many American into their voters: lazy losers and immoral freaks, so the Dems can grab more power and money.
French hated Germans and Britts and vice versa, Muslims hated Armeniansm and the most universal scapegoat of all times and places are Jews for their successes in every intellectual field. Right now the logics tells the Muslims to realize that their problem is a lack of freedom, caused by their own governments and ideologues, that Israel's successes are due to the greater degree of freedom, so the Muslims should come to learn from Israelis how to make their countries freer, thus, more prosperous. Instead, Muslim leaders want to destroy Israel as "a bad example" for their people– what a freer society can accomplish.
Another important feature: just like anything else in the nature, we go by the path of least resistance. The fluid and electrical current flow the path of least resistance, and so do we. If I need to work to make living, then I will. If I am on a welfare for the 3rd generation and someone else pays for me, then I won't. So, if you want to help poor– don't let the government help them, otherwise it will perpetuate the misery. Do us a favor, Mr. Fed– don't do us favors.
Naturally, frequently there is discrepancies or even antagonisms between different drives– biological, social, economic, ethical, customs, psychilogical, idndividual and so forth. Biologically a woman is supposed to start her child bearing when she's about 18 and to finish her child bearing by the time she is 35 y.o.: each pregnancy until that cut off point decreases breast cancer risk ofr 7.5%, after that each pregnancy increases this risk for the same 7.5%, not mentioning increasing risk of genetic mutations and other helath problems in mom and child alike. However, the social drive says : don't even start until you get your education and establish yourself at your work. Well, the best time to have kids is when you retire– you have time, money, home, wisdom and so forth.. But…well, you get it....
Diversity– is it good or bad? Just like anything else– if it is a result of the natural selection, governed by the laws of mother nature– it is good (it gives more options to choose from for betterment). If it is imposed by the instruments of coercion (government) and by driven by totalitarian ideology propaganda machine (96% "progressive" MSM) then it is bad because we, the people must pay for inevitable consequences of interference. When totalitarian monkeys ("progressives" in America's case) "reform" economy and "engineer" society by sticking a stick of the legislation into self-regulated free market mechanisms– it malfunctions, the outcome worsens, and we all pay for totalitarian redistributionists experiments (like peoples of Russia, Zimbabwe, Kampuchia and many others). If there should be a ban on experimenting– it should be ban prohibiting totalitarian experimentation on human beings.
Biological drive tells men: "Get every woman you see to pass along your genes!!",and it tells women:"Pick all the best mates to improve your offspring" (major function of majority of sperm cells is to fight and to immobilize in vagina sperm cells of other men, which means majority of human history promiscuity was the way of life), but the society and economic drives say:"Wait, wait, there so many benefits of family life and monogamy– consider it". The only true monogamy is in one gut worm species with the "love at the first sight"– they get entangles for the rest of their lives. Even swans have social monogamy, but not a sexual monogamy, as genetic studies show.
Our language (as our society, our body and our biosystems) is also the end-product of self-regulated process with feed-back loop. Society gradually accumulates customs, traditions, "the wisdom of ages", frequently accumulated in proverbs, that help stabilize sociaty, establish some "rules of engagement" to minimize negative consequences of confrontations, engrave some rule of law in the society to have predictable interactions and predictable results of those. In a mature society those rules, established by the "wisdom of ages" and free market, will suffice to optimize the society life, so there is no need for a government regulation. Government can only serve as 911 service, to comprehend unruly criminals to keep the rule of law. It's not government's business to regulate our language, society, economy, psychology and life. Government is our enemy by definition, we compete with the government for the power and money, so let's keep our necessary evil, our enemy at bay. Just say no to Obamunism.
V. Self-regulated systems with feedback loop
The easiest way to understand this concept is to look at ourselves. Our body has hudnreds of patameters influenced by millions of factors interacting in real time and pushing in different, frequently in oposite directions. What is good for one parameter, bad for another. And the window of dynamic stability, compatible with our health and even with the very staying alive is extremely narrow. You can say that in order to live we must stay alive all the time, while in order to die is enough to die only once;-). One thing went wrong (i.e. heart attack) and we are dear, even though 99,9% of the rest of our body was functioning just fine. How they sing "All we are is dust in the wind"? We walk over the razor blade all our life, and to stay alive we must keep all thousands of the parameters withing extremely narrow range, fluctuating slightly around the ideal axis as the sinusoid graph. The smaller the amplitude of fluctuations is– the finer the tuning of the organism is, the healthier it is, the better chances for survival, longevity and passing on a successful combination of the genes are. And there are thousands of the "razor blades" in our body. Meanwhile in order to die all we need is just one peremeter to go wrong. That's why they say that medicine is half-art and half-science, because the medicine is never going to be a pure science: we try to help body help itself, and if it doesn't– there's nothing we can do.
Tightly coordinated task of keeping all these parameters within the desired range is called homeostasis. Lets pick one of the parameters we're more familiar with: the blood sugar level. Ideally it fluctuates like sinusoidal graph around 4 mM/L = 73 mg/dL, and as smaller the amplitude of the fluctuation– the healthier we are. As soon as the blood level exceeds that level– the self-regulation mechanisms that drive it down kick in. As soon as it drops below that– the opposite mechanism kick in. It's just amazing to know how precise this regulation is, how smart our body is– the total sugar content at any given moment is only 5 gm (0.2 oz), and this amount suffices to feed the brain, the muscles and the rest of the body, promptly replenishing this 5 gm as soon as it's consumed. What drives blood sugar up? Food (especially bad empty calories of the sweets), stress, trauma, pain, infarction, heat, alcohol initially and certain drugs. Internally the blood sugar increasing forces are catabolic hormones such as catecholamines (including adrenalin), steroids (especially glucocorticoids), growth hormone, hypothalamus/pituitary system, and many-many others. What drives blood sugar down? Consumption by the body, storage in the liver as starch (glycogen) or as a fat in adipose tissues, starvation, some drugs, and ultimately anabolic hormones such as insulin. Low insulin level might result in dysphoria, clamminess, shaking, paranoid or aggressive mentality, fainting, death and so forth. High sugar level slowly ruins all our organs and systems (heart, kidneys, vessels, joints, retina– you name it). That is why so important to treat diabetes before it ruins the whole body. The sugar level is mutually influenced by the electrolite levels, acid-base and water balance, temperature regulation and so forth. Those have their own self-regulation systems with the feed-back loop, and as tighter the feed-back loop is– the healthier the body is. Acid-base buffers include but not limited to bicarbonate-CO2 with hyper– or hypoventilation as needed, protein buffer, hemoglobin, phosphate, behavioral adaptations, dialysis by kidney and many others. Sure, mother nature had 4.5 billion years to tune up our body, but it is still amazes me what a wonderwul job she did. And that's just one human body. Can you imagine how much more complex is the whole society and the entire economy of the US that involves 300 mln Americans and the rest of the world with trillions and trillions interactions with the amount of possible outcomes that impossible to imagine? That is why self-regulated free market with feed-back loop is the only way to optimize the life and economics in any society, while any subjective intervention such as government interference inevitably disrupts the self-regulation, causes imbalances, dusproportion, inner tensions and other disturbances, irregularities inevitably worsens the outcome. As more government's interference– as worse the outcome is. Government is like a monkey that pushes a stick into computer or a wall clock and trying to fix it. Then one wonders why goverment never works. Because it cannot– that would be against the laws of nature. The probability that goverment coercive actions without significant feedback would actually work with favorable risk/benefit ratio is about the same as if 6 gorillas from the jungle would sit behind computer desk and start printing Encyclopedia Britannica, which means zero chance. Why even try? Unless one is a delusional totalitarian....
