  • Book. From Blog. “Whistleblower”

    [W]oman is on ride-sharing site with fellow employees. Guy propositions her. She rejects it. This is somehow ‘sexual harassment’ since according to women, only women should initiate seduction, because they are not adult enough to reject it. She reports it to HR. HR says ‘it’s his first offense, he’s a high performer (and you are not) so either stay on his team and deal with it, or move to another team’. This is the correct solution to the problem when dealing with a high performer and a low performer. You move the lower performer. Instead she plays victim, does not act in the company interest, and acts instead in her own interest, and rallies other women to HR with her. HR says it is his first offense because it’s the first offense we have record of. And we have more people complaining about YOU. Women feels she is self righteously due, so continues, writes blog, and undermines company’s competitive male culture of ‘stepping on toes to do what’s right’. This is why it is important to (a) have recruiting, benefits, payroll, and legal departments but NOT HR departments who are universally agents of undermining organizations by politicking – and force people to legal recourse outside the business. (b) this is why high performing companies should be very cautious about hiring women until the naturally destructive nature of women can be tolerated by scale. Sexual harassment is an obvious thing. Unwanted advancement is not sexual harassment. It’s just human. Why don’t we teach women how to reject men, and that men must respect it and not retaliate when rejected – rather than all these layers of deceit and destruction.

  • (Humor.) “Mansplaining and Womansplaining”

    (Humor.) Re: “Mansplaining and Womansplaining” Yeah. I’m a little done with womansplaining as well. Mansplaining is merely useless – it won’t accomplish anything even if it should. Womansplaining is useless and false – but often succeeds even though it shouldn’t. 😉 Let’s compare them: Womansplaining: “There is no bell curve. Everyone is equal. Everyone has equal potential. And everyone that’s unsuccessful is inhibited by others’ bias or malice.” In other words, “I want my dead weight offspring to have a chance at achieving devolutionary and undeserving equality with his or her genetic superiors.” Short term, female, empathetic, feels. Mansplaining:“There is always a bell curve – and a third of people are dead weight, and its genetic, and women decide who they mate with – so it’s their fault.” In other words, “I want my tribe to be free of dead weight offspring so we have a chance at achieving at defeating competing tribes who seek to defeat our genes.” Long term, male, analytic, reals. That’s the net of it. Understand the speaker’s bias, and you understand his brain structure and you understand his reproductive strategy – and that none of that is under his cognitive control and everything he (or she) says is just the persona-puppet following instructions of one’s genes. Really. That’s the entirety of the left (Female cognitive bias) right (male cognitive bias)

  • Causality

    by Brandon Hayes

    —“The Conflict’s not so much race, but agency, resulting class, class size, and resulting subculture. Race is just a convenient low resolution proxy that obscures the problem.” – Curt Doolittle

    The claim isn’t that it’s a proxy for agency but it’s a proxy for this sequencing of phenomena: “agency, resulting class, class size, and resulting subculture” And replacing that higher resolution chain with “race” dilutes the information to be gleaned. LESS re-ordering is most expedient. Where tooling and training will do separation and conflict can be avoided.

  • [E]motions are just measures of changes in property.

    By Martin Štěpán [E]motions are not moral or immoral, they just measure changes in property. At most, you can say they’re bad when they’re measuring incorrectly but that’s not about morality but about the brain working sub-optimally. I think what might also be going on is conflation with Christian deadly sins. But these, as far as I know, are judged by actions. So, greed can motivate a rational agent to accumulate wealth by engaging in reciprocal exchanges where parasitism and predation are sufficiently dis-incentivized. Lust can motivate one deepen connection with his mate and to produce a next generation, especially, again, where the alternatives are sufficiently dis-incentivized. Vengeance can lead one to punish what deserves to be punished and thus dis-incentivize the recipient of vengeance from repeating it (or else removing him from the society and the gene-pool) as well as dis-incentivize other from doing the same. Self-deception might lead to behave in more moral ways, such as when one deceives himself that there is an afterlife and morality our actions in this life will determine whether it will be pleasurable or painful. Empathy can often be extended to people who deserve none or who cannot or wouldn’t reciprocate, enabling parasitism.
