Look, truthful speech is expensive, which is why humans practice it so rarely and westerners alone were able to discover deflationary truth.

For a man, truthfulness is cost, but that cost comes as a form of self sacrifice to the pack, warriors, tribe, army, and nation – a means of paying for his share of the opportunity, just as his actions pay for a share of the kill.

For a woman it is a risk to speak the truth – no so much because of men, but because of what other women will do to her, and her greater dependence upon those women than upon the men, who most often treat her (in her opinion) as property, utility, or livestock.

I think all of us struggle for agency, and truth and discipline are the means by which we obtain it. But agency is of different value to different group evolutoinary strategies.

While i am certain that different classes possess different agency, I am just as certain that the jews my people complain about possess no more agency than the women they complain about, and for exactly the same reason: evolutionary biology.

I wonder how much agency east and southeast asians have despite their accomplishments. I mean, is it as simple as theh require the high context civilization to functoin, just as we funciton best in the low context civilization? Have our brains evolved likewise?
