    A QUOTE: THE PAINFUL TRUTH

    —“(

    1 – The first question upon which all others depend is why not to suicide? One can choose cooperation with the world, conflict and competition with the world, or boycott of the world. Boycott means suicide. This choice is that of personal philosophy.

    2 – The second question upon which all others depend is why engage in cooperation rather than boycott, free riding, parasitism, and predation? One can choose cooperation, predation or boycott of others. Boycott means suicide. This question is that of ethics.

    3 – The third question is for the group, and one upon which all others depend is why engage in cooperation rather than boycott, or free riding, parasitism, and predation? This question is that of politics.

    4 – There is only one reason for the strong not to kill, enslave, or enserf the weak and to take their land, their women and their things. And that is a condition of perfect reciprocity. For it is the only condition more rewarding and lower cost than predation. The fact that reciprocity is mutually beneficial is but an excuse the weak use to grant themselves the illusion of equality with the strong. For the strong it is only a matter of superior returns, not morality. This is the end result of the three questions of life, ethics, and politics. All others are comforting lies.

    5 – One BEGS for Liberty by permission. One FORCES sovereignty at the point of a spear, tip of an arrow, blade of a sword, and barrel of a gun. That’s the difference between failed beggars for liberty and successful warriors for sovereignty.

    I want to toss out that we are not only seeing stoicism, not only seeing the expansion of plot arcs, but also seeing the conversion of characters from pure archetypes to sets of archetype properties – in which I see the resurrection of our ancient gods – leaving the degeneracy of ideals behind us.

    Small Sample but reflects everything else I see: AGENCY

    —“The nature and extent of group differences in pain tolerance according to age, sex and race were examined. The method of pain tolerance determination was mechanical pressure on the Achilles tendon, performed on 41, 119 subjects as part of the Kaiser-Permanente Automated Multiphasic Screening examination. The results showed that, on the average, a) pain tolerance decreases with age; b) men tolerate more pain than women; and c) Whites tolerate more pain than Orientals, while Blacks occupy an intermediate position. When the results of this study are compared with earlier work, it appears that, with increasing age, tolerance to cutaneous pain increases and tolerance to deep pain decreases.”—

    —“What spectrum?”—

    |SPECTRUM| Psychosis <- Solipsism <- sensitive <- Feminine <-> Masculine -> analytic -> Aspie -> Autism

    Female Psychosis <– to –> Male Autism Spectrum.

    Now, produce a vertical axis that is from prosocial at the top to antisocial at the bottom.

    Then use dominance submission on the z axis.

    That gives you a pretty good graph of how people think.

    YOU DON”T THINK OF IT BUT…

    Delayed marriage and reproduction not only decrease infant mortality, increase investment in children, but they force CLASS SORTITION by demonstrated evidence of success.

    This is the ‘big sort’ that is going on. Except we are not compensating by reducing the reproduction of the underclasses and upwardly redistributing reproduction to their betters.

    THIS STUFF MATTERS.

    Those of us with exceptional abilities favor working with our region of the bell curve – puzzles – that are of INDIRECT value rather than DIRECT value. WE HAVE KNOWN THIS FOR DECADES.

    “IQ” THREAD

    “IQ” measures an inferior form of intelligence, stripped of 2nd order effects, meant to select paper shufflers, obedient IYIs.

    1- When someone asks you a question in REAL LIFE, you focus first on “WHY is he asking me that?”, which slows down. (Fat Tony vs Dr John)
