(male female relationships)
All women are beautiful. Its their nature.
You can say a woman fails to take care of herself. Or that she fails to appreciate her femininity.
But the number of women who are not beautiful is a function choice far more often than genes.
In my opinion anyway. 😉

(Humor)
I am slow. I just realized that the transaction costs for blondes is higher than brunettes, and they are higher than redheads.
Am I just always attracted to a discount? 😉

The value of direct redistribution is (a) that the proletariat will greedily starve the state, and (b) they will have money to spend to create demand. (c) if they are shareholders, and the market is a corporation, then they have standing to directly sue any individual, public or private within that market.
It’s mandatory for us to transform political discourse from ‘morality’ to ‘voluntary transfers’ and property rights. Because only voluntary transfers are moral, and only the operational visibility of voluntary transfers allows scientific analysis of the voluntary and involuntary transfers.
We must maintain that competition is intuitively an competition that is immoral to many, however, the outcome is virtuous – particularly if all competition can be pressed into the market.

When I first started programming in a lab, we only got so much computer time. Made me very stressed. And I would get these horrible headaches, nausea and dilated pupils.
Then, I learned that you actually gotta breathe. lol

THE SIDE EFFECT OF REPUTATIONS
The problem with having a reputation for being devilishly smart, is that sometimes you’re not being devilishly smart. You’re just doing the right thing. lol. Mad Scientist variation on Crying Wolf.

I’ve repeatedly asked anyone who might have an opinion, why I must teach every single woman I have a relationship (a) not to hit me, and (b) nagging accomplishes the opposite of your intentions, and is in effect, ‘bullying’. Oh, and the last (c) while I will struggle to make your dreams come true, this must be at least somewhat reciprocated. I am not a life support system for a vagina. I am not a consumable resource. Believe it or not, my personal fulfillment is the purpose of my life. If we help each other do that, well, that’s wonderful. But you know, it’s gotta be reciprocal.
A man is not a ‘pussy’ because he won’t engage in physical or verbal abuse. You are ABUSIVE if you want him to.
Personally, I tend to just vote with my feet and ‘leave’.
“ABUSIVE” əˈbyo͞osiv,-zi adjective
extremely offensive and insulting. “abusive language”
synonyms: insulting, rude, vulgar, offensive, disparaging, belittling, derogatory, opprobrious, disrespectful, denigratory, uncomplimentary, censorious, pejorative, vituperative; defamatory, slanderous, libelous, scurrilous, blasphemous;
informal: bitchy;
ALCOHOLIC BEHAVIOR AS CAUSE OF ABUSE
1) Blame you for many things, and over-emphasize ‘fault’ or blame?
or
2) Display behavior patterns that emphasize arguing?
or
3) Have difficulty finding happiness or joy except when drinking?
or
4) DENIAL that they have a problem.
I suspect that because my father (and a lot of people in my family, really) are alcoholics, that I am somewhat attracted to this kind of person. Which is terrible.
What you do find, is that the alcoholic personality is more intense. I have plenty of theories about this. For my part, I find them interesting because their emotions are not difficult to discern, and ‘normal’ people are very hard for me to read unless they are either visibly happy or visibly unhappy.
ASPIES
Freaking difficult problem really. Frustrating.

If you hate the world, it will hate you back.
If you mistrust the world, it will mistrust you back.
If you like the world, it will like you back.
If you love the world, it will love you back.
The only ‘world’ that you actually know: is the one of your own direct experience.
That world is comprised of only the people you interact with.
We all learn by imitation. We all reflect what we experience.
Give the people you interact with, whatever you want them to respond with.
But be careful you’re giving of yourself, not requesting of them.
Science has done a thorough job of determining that our most egalitarian instincts are merely a form of self interest, or an expression of kin selection.
Emphasis on Care-Taking is either an effort to obtain hormonal ‘highs’, or a search for status seeking and the equivalent hormonal ‘highs’.
However, instead of the pretense of ‘acting egalitarian’ and pursuing self interest for the purpose of obtaining hormonal ‘highs’, one could instead, make investments in the present and future, by actually HELPING others in many small ways.
Beware of people who ‘outsource’ compassion to the state. Its just another form of conspicuous consumption, and conspicuously consuming at other people’s expense, and at no personal cost.
The person who ‘votes left’ does nothing except steal. The person who goes out and helps people having difficulty by spending his or her own time and money is the only person worthy of respect and admiration. Everything else is purely selfish.
Love the world.
Not by feeling it.
But by demonstrating it.
And the only demonstration, is the contribution of your time, money and effort to help others who are in need.

AND THAT IS WHAT MACRO ECONOMISTS ARE ACTUALLY MEASURING : THE SPREAD OF ANGLO INFLUENCE BY MILITARY MEANS.
“The spread of ‘Western’ values was, in truth, a series of military victories by the Anglosphere.” – Daniel Hannan
Make sure you know what it is that you’re measuring.
Because without those values we will measure something else entirely.
