Apr 30, 2020, 4:37 PM (worth repeating) It’s Nietzche, THEN Jung, Frazer, Campbell, Dumezil, Vonnegut, THEN cognitive Science, THEN Haidt, Doolittle. Jung is easily misdirected without nietzsche’s ‘the birth of tragedy’. Campbell misdirected without Dumezil and Vonnegut. Both groups without the grammars, reciprocity, and haidt’s moral intuitions. And western civ lost without all four generations of religion.

We must be patient
May 1, 2020, 12:12 PM [S]ometimes parents must be patient with their children; spouses must be patient with their mates; teachers must be patient with students; executives must be patient with their employees. Because we all must ‘own’ our decisions and our status-self-image system, as well as our cognitive investment in current network of ideas, plans, and habits resists pressure to adapt – except at our own speed and on our own terms. So people must own their adaptation – because they must weigh the costs and benefits and come to own their choices. Sometimes it takes minutes, sometimes hours, sometimes months, and sometimes years. So plant seeds rather than persuade, convince, or coerce. And leave the door open. And resist the call of pride in saying “I told you so”. Instead deliver the reward of “I hoped you would.”

Mothers vs Men.
May 2, 2020, 8:05 AM Mothers provide training wheels for adulthood. Adulthood requires you do without them. Men deny you political influence unless you do without them.
