When All Other Knowledge, Reason, and Experience Fails, We Are Left with Intuition – Bias.

We do not dispute the obvious, only the intuitive. Men and women do not differ in task performance: the concrete – at least over time, but we differ in bias: the intuitionistic – at least in the immediate.

When all other knowledge, reason, and experience fails, we are left with intuition, and the female herd empathic-interpersonal consumptive dysgenic of numbers will compete with the male analytic-political pack productive eugenic of quality for the simple reason that these are our reproductive strategies.

Even as such, they are useful like most generalizations at scale, when we are discussing aggregates and biases, since men and women each contain a portfolio of traits and various masculine to feminine biases.

This axis (protecting children regardless of males who are in charge versus protecting assets including territory, resources, women, children from other men who would deprive us of them) is pervasive and when a bias is evident and it is counter-rational, it is this bias driving it.
