Sorry? Climate makes a great deal of difference, esp on time preference. So does being cooped up together in longhouses for winter months. So does Property and Law. So does farming. So does Manorialism (moreso). No cousin marriage also. Hanging also. Wars also. Plagues also.

Of course. Wealth creates opportunity to follow instinct rather than adapt: meaning hyperconsumption.Why do you think military civilizations advance faster?They do the opposite – they force us to invest in the commons: hypercapitalization. 20thC = Century of Social Pseudoscience. https://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/1294183696782757888

1 – That’s silly. I’m simply talking about the genetic record. Half or fewer of men reproduced. Conquered men killed and women kept as slaves. Many are currently economically unnecessary other than for redistributive taxation. Females are devoted (during) but not Loyal (after).

FOR FOLLOWERS OF MY WORK, Dutton’s recent video is a necessary watch. I use the “Island 120” argument. Dutton’s version goes deeper. He’s always worth watching. But this one explains the “midwit” or educated-ignorant incentive better than anyone. It’s a perfect Beckerian science. https://t.co/RzGsqUQZE9

4) So he’s right. The only Europeans that ever existed were the aristocracy.
And we, in our vanity, thought we could replace them.
