  • Relationships Are Just Another Organization that Adapt to Circumstances

    Jan 17, 2020, 2:23 PM

    —“Curt: I’m reading the book Sex at Dawn of your library. So which is our natural form of mating: monogamy or polygamy? What type of mating we ( europeans) should aspire?”—

    AFAIK, pairing off via serial monogamy with discreet cheating that doesn’t insult the other party is the sort of median – but we adapt to monogamy-polygamy or serial marriage, or serial marriage with ‘cheating’ pretty easily. Religion imposed monogamy because men kill over women.

  • The Value Neutral Expression of The Female and Male Brains

    Jan 18, 2020, 8:06 AM We can just as easily categorize the female brain and the male brain instead as breadth(experience, children)-first vs depth(time, environment)-first. When the paradigm you use is the high cost of brains, and high returns on brains, neural economy; division of reproductive, productive, and cognitive labor; economics of (returns on) cooperation; voluntary cooperation as calculation of group optimums; and reciprocity within the limits of proportionality as limits; and retaliation and altruistic punishment as preservation of returns on cooperation then you no longer are the victim of intuition and animal instinct, and no longer criticize how people feel, think, or want – only whether they negotiate and cooperate truthfully and reciprocally – and that wanting others to feel, think and want on your terms is merely searching for an unearned discount.

  • You Must Give up Sense of Control to Obtain Control

    Jan 22, 2020, 7:39 PM Impatience is not a virtue. Seeking a simple clear solution is not a virtue. Seeking a feeling of control and a plan is not a virtue. The virtue is in seizing every possible opportunity. We now can blame ANTIFA for any violence that occurs. We can now organize a number of 2A rallies. We can add self determination to 2A rallies. We can add guns necessary to preserve our self determination. We can offer a compromise solution We can hold the moral high ground with that solution. And if they resist then we have both created the organization, the militia, the solution, the plan, and the moral high ground. I think sh-t thru. The only thing that screwed us up was C’vill catastrophe. it took us 30 months to recover from that screw up. We just recovered. Now we move forward.   (tag: revolution, civil war)

    —“What I don’t get is why anyone falls for the false promise? A little thought reveals there definitions do not correspond with reality. It’s probably some remnant of Biblical hermeneutics. Or the educational shift away from the Trivium (fundamentals of critical thinking).”—Andrew M Gilmour

    WHY DO THEY FALL FOR THE FALSE PROMISE?  BECAUSE THEY WANT TO FALL FOR IT.

We need to build one, IMO. A council of elders with legal powers over the franchise, marriage and citizenship. Grandmothers and Grandfathers who were successful at raising successful children.
