    THE GENETIC – DENIERS AND PLOMIN’S UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH

    (important sequence of arguments)

    There are reasons why so many people in the postwar, postmodern, feminist, and underclass movements are rigid deniers of our indifference from breeding of any other domesticated animals, and the similar differences in trait expression. We know those reasons. The fact that people believe the ‘nurture’ fallacy correlates with all other similar social cognitive biases and related fallacies, because people actively select for these falsehoods because their genes encourage and force them to. Even if confronted with the overwhelming evidence that the pseudosciences of Boas, Marx, Freud, Adorno, Derrida et all, they will admit the science but deny its application in order to defend their genetic drives. We can easily measure these differences in brain structure with female biased brains favoring this “herd-prey illusion” and male brains favoring the purely empirical “pack-hunter” bias. Evolution gave us those genetic biases for obvious reasons given the distribution of reproductive responsibilities.

    Genese do not exist in isolation, no, however:

    (a) modification of genetic disposition is endocrine and developmental it does not modify the genome

    (b) In the nature-nurture debate it’s 80% nature, and the rest adaptation to circumstances that FAVOR that nature.

    (c) Nurture can only HARM but not improve the individual

    (d) Education only falsifies tests but over time all of us grow into (form to) our genes.

    (e) The most important decision you can make for your children is who you mate with, since regression to the mean is impossible to avoid without controlled breeding (what europeans did for the past 1300 years until 1960)

    (f) This is contrary to mother’s instincts (they intuit everything through amplified perception because they must given the fragility of young, and high pre-modern child mortality rates) and contrary to the instincts of feminized males, but it is incontrovertible in the data. This amplified perception begins in puberty, and is the source of the overwhelmingly common female mental illness when women are not supplied with sufficient child rearing responsibilities in order to burden the cognitive-emotional load.

    (g) These facts are impossible for the pseudoscientists and sophists (created by Boas, Marx, Freud, Adorno, Derrida et al) in the marxist, postmodern, feminist movements to accept because it means (correctly) that:

    i) man was not oppressed but domesticated like every other animal and plant, and that those who are on the left are still incompletely domesticated.

    ii) classes are natural reflections of necessity given the abilities of the individuals to both process information and suppress animal impulses, the most common of which is gratification-delay,

    iii) no marxist, postmodern, feminist revolution is possible because the competence structure necessary for the preservation of human standards of living cannot tolerate any other distribution than the Pareto.

    iv) the optimum possible social order requires continuation of the Truth over Face of western civilization that requires we all understand our sexual, social, economic, political, and military market value (our ‘status’) is genetically determined, and that we can only create small homogenous ethnocentric polities that due to kin selection are biased to the highly redistributive. But that you are stuck with your ‘status’ at birth unless you are overwhelmingly lucky to match extreme effort with extreme luck.

    So no, Plomin tries very hard to mollify the Genetic-Denialist movement but the data is in and incontestable – Genetic determinism is what it is and we are no different from breeds of dogs, and the differences between individuals as well as groups is the same as the difference between breeds of animals, or in the case of great apes, that we are effectively as different a series of species as are bonobos and chimpanzees.

    This is totally intolerable to the feminine-marxist-postmodernist-feminist dysgenic religion of pseudoscience, sophism, and denialism, invented by boas, marx, freud, adorno, and derrida etc as a counter-revolution against Darwin, Spencer, Nietzsche, Maxwell, Poincare, and the second, german, scientific revolution.

    The eugenicists were right and the chinese will get there first and they will win the war – unless we end the pseudoscience, sophism, denial, and deceit of the left cult of equality.

    HEROISM AND COSTS

    by Luke Weinhagen

    Heroism is the application of virtue where that application has a potential direct cost to you.

    It is hard to train for directly because people interpret virtue so subjectively but training the foundation, overcoming inaction in the face of costs, is something anyone can do. Expose yourself to situation where you have a strong possibility to fail. Fail. Get back up.

    It is best if your parents do this for you as young as possible, but nowadays most parents don’t. So it is likely up to you.

    Find something you are motivated by (so you have a reason to get back up) that also offers you the likelihood of initial failure and overextend yourself into it (ideally not something that will kill you is you are just beginning to embrace failure).

    by Brandon Hayes

    Life is only suffering for those with no (low and developing) agency. It’s the only frame that motivates them to face it (life; the suffering). One must have (develop) the capacity for heroism to withstand tragedy as a plausible noble outcome.

    The world “just happens” to those that lack real consciousness. Thus they can’t perceive the responsibility they must bear.

    https://www.amazon.com/Economic-Approach-Human-Behavior/dp/0226041123THE ECONOMIC APPROACH TO HUMAN BEHAVIOR

    You know, it’s so much a part of my cognition that I forget to mention it. But this book framed my thinking about social science more so than any other. I think in the Becker model. Ostrom just helps with extending the Becker model into commons.

    The “minds” that I imitate (make use of constantly) are Becker, Hayek, Hoppe, Popper, Turing-Chomsky, (the outlier is Hoppe (property) which is what the rest are missing), with Jeff Hawkins’s work on intelligence ( already having come true), and Baron Cohen’s so obvious, it’s coming true daily in the research. The Nietzsche I rely on is Birth of Tragedy. Someone will skewer me for this but his fundamental insight was produce there, and all else is application of it. Step back to the beginning again, and grasp that I studied history, art history, and military history first before any of this, and the sequence of aggregate behavior down to neurological processing is a completely coherent and consistent series of ideas.

    JOHN MARK: MEASURING OTHERS’ PROGRESS IN THE JOURNEY

    That spectrum/journey is the journey from hope in the ability to teach/shame/influence people into acting in a responsible and beneficial (reciprocal) manner (in accordance with natural law), to realizing that only the law (violence or threat of it) can do that.

    Now that I see it, I see it everywhere. So often I see people saying things like “The solution is for people to realize that (xyz)…” or “The solution is we have to teach people that (xyz)…” I recognize instantly that they are not far enough along on the spectrum/journey. –John Mark

    THE ARISTOCRATIC (RESPONSIBILITY) SALES FUNNEL

    All of the people who start out edgy, tend to move back up the sales funnel (wider audience) because they perceive they are doing more good with wider reach, by driving more people into the sales funnel.

    Everyone has to move thu the ‘sales funnel’ from well meaning fool to man of agency.

    I did it and it sure seems like most other men do.

    COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY

    What degree of indirection is required in order to produce new networks (routes) that attached different weights (emotions, values) to the same (similar) phenomenon?

    EXPERIENTIAL TERMS (Neurological)

    “Just tell me”

    “Just show me “

    “let me have a little distance, so I can learn by analogy”

    “I can’t go anywhere near it, so I have to learn ENTIRELY by suggestion.”

    LOGICAL TERMS

    Some things are self evident. (just tell me)

    Some requires a bit of analysis (just show me)

    Some requires some deduction (just let me have distance…)

    Some requires inference. (can’t go there, need suggestion….)

    MATHEMATICAL TERMS

    Numbers

    Addition

    Geometry

    Algebraic Geometry

    Same problem. Same Solution.

    Literary suggestion using archetypes combines the possibility of SUGGESTION combined with SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF,
