The house-spook or field-spook mind is easy to identify. The entrepreneurial mind is easy to identify. The working class mind is easy to identify. The labor mind is easy to identify. The (((tribal))) and female minds are easy to identify – on the use of frame alone, and the age and generation minds are easy to identify. The ease of identifying a class of mind is merely experience in doing so and reading the tells. You learn by LISTENING.

Gender biases expressed at group levels at all scales. What is not clear is how absolutely rare the disruptive is – nor how – counter to intuitions – it’s the most important evolutionary trait for any civilization.

(FB 1542928005 Timestamp) NAIL IN THE OBVIOUS COFFIN…. LATER MARRIAGE LEADING TO PAIRING OFF, AND INCREASING INCOME DIFFERENCES The best results on assortative mating and inequality I have seen by Tyler Cowen This paper studies the evolution of assortative mating in the permanent wage (the individual-specific component of wage) in the U.S., its role in the increase in family wage inequality, and the factors behind this evolution. I first document a substantial trend in assortative mating, as measured by the permanent wage correlation of couples, from 0.3 for families formed in the late 1960s to 0.52 for families formed in the late 1980s. I show that this trend accounts for more than one-third of the increase in family wage inequality across these cohorts of families. I then argue that the increase in marriage age across these cohorts contributed to the assortative mating and thus to the rising inequality. Individuals face a large degree of uncertainty about their permanent wages early in their careers. If they marry early, as most individuals in the late 1960s did, this uncertainty leads to weak marital sorting along permanent wage. But when marriage is delayed, as in the late 1980s, the sorting becomes stronger due to the quick resolution of this uncertainty with work experience. After providing reduced-form evidence on the impact of marriage age, I build and estimate a marriage model with wage uncertainty and show that the increase in marriage age can explain almost 80% of the increase in assortative mating. https://sites.google.com/site/alparslantuncay2018/research

(FB 1543084057 Timestamp) HOW IT FEELS TELLS US NOTHING. THE POISON TASTES GOOD TO THE RAT Meth, Heroin, Cocaine all feel good. Sugar feels good. Wheat feels good. Pornography feels good. The fake affections of prostitutes feel good. Comforting lies feel good. Hyperconsumption feels good. Virtue signaling feels good. Feeling good isn’t a test of anything other than the sensations we evolved as hunter gatherers. We have developed many means under agrarianism, pastoralism, civilization, industrialism, and the sciences, by which to achieve sensations that we could not obtain from the natural world except as subtle cues to scarcity. That something feels good (or bad) in the moment tells us very little about whether it is cumulatively good for us, for those around us, for our people, civilizations, and man. The opiates of the masses indeed do feel good. They are however extremely BAD for us. In fact, they are genocidal.
