“Q: Curt: If men seek status through accumulation of responsibility. Is that all

–“Q: Curt: If men seek status through accumulation of responsibility. Is that all men, just European men, or particularly European men.”–

Great question. 😉

Any universal category (ie: men) will consist of a distribution. So some little, some a lot, most around average. But the same rule applies. Because male reproductive strategy is to accumulate competency, capital, resonsibility for capital, and the status that results precisely because it’s advatageous in every possible way, and reproductively, because women are hyperconsumptive and hypergamic when acting by on their own volition, and men will select them by desirable traits when women aren’t acting of their own volition (which is pretty rare really despite historical narratives, except for slaves).

European civilization maximizes individual responsibility, for self, family, kin, kith, and especially commons, more than all other civs combined. So it’s european men MORE so than other men.

In fact, you could reduce civilizational differences to just differences in what males seek responsbility for, and what they are able to do with that responsibility, and how far those actions deviate from reciprocity.

So ‘especially european men’. Which is largely why we are tolerated or accepted around the world because we are the least likely (on average) to engage in irresponsibility. (Japanese are often as good or better, but are more discriminating and less tolerant of variation.)
