2/ So you're going to see a "Laffer Curve" where 100% white populations (Iceland, Vermont, etc.) can afford prisons but don't need them, and 100% African populations (Angola, Namibia) need prisons but can't afford them. At an 85/15 white/African ratio you hit the sweet spot.

3/ It's necessary to note that total incarceration is roughly constant from c. 1900 to the current year, but that Progs pushing deinstitutionalization moved many low conscientiousness people from asylums to jails. But ...

4/ we need to expand the scope of out thinking (increase the size of the set) even further. Incarceration isn't what we want. Segregation is what we want. Keeping violent / criminal people apart from non-violent / non criminal people. There are more tools than just >

5/ asylums and prisons. There are also national borders and social and economic inclines. All four (five?) of these things keep populations apart. In the limit we'd use Big Data to bin each person precisely and some other technology to keep them apart. So I'd suggest that >>

6/ Instead of saying "we incarcerate too many people", we instead say "we don't segregate people NEARLY enough". Every crime that happens is a failure to segregate victimizers from victims. What policies can we adopt to increase segregation?

7/ I know it might be hard to believe,
@manforoneseason , but this is not actually a rebuttal of my assertion that white populations tend to generate wealth and African populations tend to generate violent crime.https://twitter.com/manforoneseason/status/1181551919593975808 …Show this thread -

9/ why limit it to "black" ? Crime CORRELATES with African, but not at the 1.0 level. Tons of good African Americans, and tons of terrible whites. That's part of the point of my rant - big data lets us get PRECISE. Race is a heuristic but imperfect.https://twitter.com/american_sulla/status/1181553602042777601 …

11/ Blacks made up 11.6% of US population in 1900, and made up almost exactly the same in 2010. Cite:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_racial_and_ethnic_demographics_of_the_United_States#Historical_data_for_all_races_and_for_Hispanic_origin_(1610–2010) …

12/ So Africans are poor and violent in the Chicago, in Sweden, in South Africa, in Kenya, in the Congo, in France, in Washington DC, in Haiti, etc., but you assert confidently that this is "NOT" anything relating to race? Fascinating.https://twitter.com/manforoneseason/status/1181555034368004097 …

13/ Given that data shows that crime correlates with both age and gender, and thus the data shows that crime tracks very closely with testosterone, would expect, a priori, that populations with higher testosterone levels would have more or less crime?

14/ Not sure that I agree, but I'd need to dig deeper into the data and the party affiliation of votes on the various bills, which I don't have time to do right now. https://twitter.com/gaitanalyst/status/1181555164110557184 …

15/ You're moving goal posts. You specifically talked about the demographic changes in the US from 1900 to the current year, and when I pointed out that there WEREN'T any (at least on the black percent), you've dodged and changed your thesis. No bueno. https://twitter.com/gaitanalyst/status/1181556248459780097 …

16/ I agree that there isn't an existing reparations narrative for white criminals, but that doesn't mean I can't start one! I think that national divorce (red vs blue) is good, but is only a small start. We need much more devolution!https://twitter.com/american_sulla/status/1181566246770401281 …

17/ Romney, while a complete cuck, was correct that 47% of people contribute absolutely nothing to society. I'm a firm believe in exit and in freedom of association. I'd like to leave behind criminals (~5%) and incompetents (the other 42%). Small voluntary society.

18/ Phase out of leaded gasoline, and increase in incarceration. (amusingly, progs often complain about "increasing levels DESPITE failling crime" ; LOL ; like "increased fire sprinklers DESPITE falling fire rates") https://twitter.com/MannerofItes/status/1181627586797064192 …
