–“Q: Curt what are your thoughts on the positive impact of women on society, say, as expressed in the image of Madonna and child (Isis and Horus, Mary and Christ etc),”–

1. Humans are superpredators.
2. But we are also social because of the distproportionate value of cooperation – even indirect cooperation.
3. So we all seek signals of non-aggression almost first before all other signals.
4. Women specialize in signals of non aggression
Despite that women aggress via interpersonal and social warfare – it’s at least not physical and immediate even if it is cumulatively just as harmful.
5. Beauty is the presence of resources – that’s all. We tend to prefer a presence of resources created by the hand of man. And the demadn for truth and beauty is a demand for extra effort when producing commons.
6. Women promise both non aggression a presence of resources not the least of which are care and reproduction.

“Men are a threat and women are an opportunity”

So in the arts we use these symbols of women to identify and promote the status of non aggression and resources which are essentially peace offerings: plenty.

Religions consist of systematizing signals of non aggression, to limit conflict, alienation, and the mental instability of neuroticism as populations increase and our individual ‘value’ to others decreases.

So Religions use the feminine just as the State (military and politics) use the masculine: scarcity.

It’s just physics at play at scale. And it’s so obvious that we want to find more to it than that.

Cheers.
