THE GENETIC ADAPTATION IN FAVOR OF LYING
I am wired for correspondence. It isn’t a skill. It’s wiring. So much so that I cant stop trying to solve an unsolved problem if I want to. But I can’t follow lateral thinking very often, and even humor is difficult to understand – because much of humor requires lateral thinking as a vent for the unsolvable or undesirable problems. And it is increasingly clear that westerners have adapted, and are now wired, to demonstrate pathological altruism. (Myself unfortunately included.)
But it has helped me understand that people can be just as easily wired for lying. That it is not so much a skill but an ability. The ability to lie even unintentionally. The genetic preference to lie. Lying as adaptation. As evolutionary strategy. That sociopathic predation may be a beneficial adaptation, just as sexual impulsivity in certain areas of the lower classes is a beneficial adaptation.
That some people are naturally intuitive of your incentives such that it does not require effort to attempt to exploit opportunities for parasitism, the same way that it does not require westerners to exert effort at identifying opportunities for altruism.
Some people, some TRIBES are genetically wired for parasitism – as an adaptation.
Without laws that protect against parasitism we have no organized means of Training, Suppressing the behavior in, or ostracizing, those who have this trait.
As I have shown in Propertarianism, as we increase trust by constructing property rights that increasingly prohibit various forms of predation, free riding and parasitism, we must constantly increase the scope of property rights so that the law assists us in suppressing ever expanding talents at predation, free riding and parasitism.
