    PETERSON’S FUNCTION IN INTELLECTUAL HISTORY

    Peterson is a clinical psychologist (cognitive behavioral therapist), and his research includes the impact of personality traits on individual and group behavior. His work (authorship) is largely an attempt (knowingly or not) to restore Stoicism. He has (successfully) identified the relationship between jungian categories and literary archetypes and uses those narratives just as the priesthood has, to teach therapeutic concepts by suggestion rather than CBT’s direct exposure. (I am less interested in this technique for therapy but an advocate for its use in teaching (pedagogy) in the first place – since universal prevention eliminate most of the need for therapeutic correction.) So he is providing Stoicism without (a) social separatism, and (b) the ‘woo’ factor. Even if he is providing it (c) for therapeutic and self improvement use, rather than (d) a program for restoring western civilization from the INFANTILIZATION MOVEMENT we call marxism-postmodernism-feminism. There is a worldwide demand for Stoicism because we have almost (finally) restored the level of civilization achieved by the late Empire before the Abrahamic Dark Age. And once we understand institutional restoration required until the age of napoleon, and intellectual restoration until the 2000s, that abrahamic dark age was TWICE as devastating as the first: the Bronze Age Collapse.

    … Can someone expand on that?Nov 13, 2018, 8:12 PMJon JonathanShould be generally larger on the left and generally smaller on the right.

    The basic concept is if youre an alpha male and you only have a limited opportunity to do as much mating as possible during your tenure you want your offspring to have genes to encourage them to grow as fast as possible even at the expense of the mother’s future reproductive health. The mother on the other hand would prefer to retain her future reproductive health so females will develop genes that are only expressed when inherited by the mother to reduce fetal growth to compensate for the growth acceleration genes the males developed.

    Pair bonding species dont have as much of this going on because when the male is going to continue mating with the same female maintaining her health is in his best interest.Nov 13, 2018, 8:27 PMNick’s ReasonIt’s not an all-encompassing theory (a complete science) of human development and gene expression. There are many more confounding variables at play.

    Anyway, you asked, I’ll repeat it again….

    EIther make an argument against my proposition or stop wasting my time.

    1) We lack agency. Our genes provide intuitionistic decidability. That intuitionistic decidability in matters of cooperation can be expressed on a spectrum from psychotic and solipsistic to ‘normie’ to analytic and autistic. This spectrum describes the differences in male and female brain structures (see Baron Cohen.). We assume we are making choices but we are not. We are merely following instinct. In this distribution the male and female brains produce biases that reflect their caloric and reproductive demands, with female the herd,r,offspring, and male,k,pack and this measurement shows up in all aspects of life from METHOD OF SPEECH, content of gossip, chatter, and banter, selection of terms, means of argument, value judgements, personality profile differences, job selection, time allocation, consumer product purchases, voting records. However, given the industrial technological era, and the independence of females from demand for male income we are seeing demand for ‘fulfillment’ (divergence) in not only gender preferences (toward the extremes) but in class and reproductive preferences (insurance from risk, vs achievement liberty). The more equal the more we diverge in demand for fulfillment of our reproductive strategies. At present we have those of us who prefer to separate from those of you. We experience you as ‘disgusting’ whereas you see fear we see disgust. This is because you are setting off our ‘harm to the tribe’ response. This is also genetic on our end. Truth, Loyalty, Purity are all anti-disgust demands. So in our perception of the world, you are not fully human, but simply semi-domesticated animals that can speak. We do not say this but it is how we perceive you. So we prefer to satisfy our disgust response they way you want to satisfy your fear of being left behind response, and separate from you. The alternative is warfare. Which is frankly more desirable but less profitable.

    2) Ethnocentrism is the optimum group evolutionary strategy, nationalism the optimum means of protecting it, nomocracy and markets in everything, the optimum means of political order to achieving it, and soft eugenics (regulating underclass rates of reproduction) a necessity of defeating regression to the mean, such that demographics correspond to states of development rather than regress the standards of living, because together they produce rates of adaptation faster than all possible alternatives.

    The mediocre seek safety in the herd and speech and defense from the pack. The exceptional seek achievement and action – and to leave its dead weight behind.

    We can afford to speciate by reproductive strategy. You and yours are welcome to speciate by your preferred means, if me and mine are by our preferred means. That is reciprocity. If we cannot agree to reciprocity, then defeat, conquest, enserfment, enslavement, and extermination are preferable to loss.

    The Herd seeks equality, proportionality, and the Pack hierarchy and reciprocity. These are genetic and therefore intuitionistic and pre-cognitive expressions of fitness for social orders.

    So we can Revolt, Separate, Prosper (or not), and Speciate or we can war. The coming civil war is not over race – it is over our new found wealth sufficient to speciate. Or in historical terms, we continue the conflict between masculine indo-european-asian and feminine anatolian-semitic-afro-asiatic.

    This means that we have the opportunity to exit the unfit from our order, and the undesirable from yours.

    Or we have the opportunity to have the bloodiest conflict in human history – and one that it is very hard to imagine the ‘right’ will not win.

    The people who talk, teach, and preach, vs the people who act, produce, and invent.

    If this isn’t acceptable to your and yours, then enemies you choose to be.

    So, this is why we must separate.

    We don’t need to agree.

    It’s just going to happen.

    So the question is only how unpleasant it will be.

    3) We want separation. We don’t want cooperation or balance when the other side daily engages in hate speech against me, my people, my civilization and advocates for our eradication, and the browning of the country in order to exterminate us. SO no. You don’t compromise with those who want genocide —- YOU RETURN THE SAME.

    We don’t WANT YOU AT ALL. You are disgusting. Really. you ruin everything. Our neighborhoods, our schools, our history, our education, our governments, our city streets, our parks, our stores, our religion, our festivals, are armies, or civic order, even our gene pool… .. I mean…. you’re just bad people. We don’t want you. You are like locusts that consume everything beautiful. You are a plague against our people, our civilization, and the efforts of our ancestors. So no. We don’t need you. CIvilizations prosper most by getting rid of the underclass through prosecution and harsh winter starvation. And the fewer of you the better for us and for the planet, and for the future of mankind. You are a living breathing waste of the planet and mankind’s potential.

    We want to ‘leave you behind’.

  • My argument is always the same. Separate the feminine/r-selected/herd/dysgenic p

    My argument is always the same. Separate the feminine/r-selected/herd/dysgenic pool from the masculine/k-selected/pack/eugenic pool. We are wealthy enough to afford the production of preferred but DIFFERENT commons, and if the dysgenic herd wants to produce their preferred commons and the eugenic pack wants to produce their preferred commons the only thing preventing both achieving their goals is the current monopoly commons. The solution is to separate (secede) and devolve normative regulation and commons production to the groups and let them speciate. The question MIGHT be race, but it’s not. It’s genetic strategy. The dysgenic and the eugenic. I’m perfectly happy if you folks want to construct india and brazil as long as those of us who want otherwise continue the western tradition of eugenic social order and continuous production of prosperity.

    @hbdchick

    the main feature of bipartite manorialism in medieval europe was the dual, conjoined arrangement of the central manor farm (the demesne) along with the attached individual farms of the tenants, with the tenants owing labor on the demesne (later rent)…

    …tenants were independently responsible for the success of their own farms, i.e. w/the production of foodstuffs for themselves (to be self-sufficient iow) as well as for producing a certain amount of foods and products for the manor (agricultural, but also things like cloth)…

    …another extremely important aspect of bipartite manorialism, tho, was the curious feature of *common* arable fields in which tenants were allotted certain furrows to farm alongside and inbetween the furrows of the demesne…

    …these furrows *were* the tenants’ farms (alongside whatever garden they might have). in the early days of manorialism, the furrows/farms were not passed down within families, but “reassigned” each generation. over time tenancies became inheritable and eventually…

    …the common field system disappeared and farms were restructured to be more like free-standing units (although still within the manor system), but for a good 500-1000 years, depending on the region, the common field system was in place…

    …however, in order to avoid any tragedies of commons, tenants came together on village councils to agree upon plans for planting and the grazing of animals in fallow fields, etc. here from Tradition and Transformation in Anglo-Saxon England (https://books.google.com/books?id=_SlMAQAAQBAJ …):

    …the same practices were found in other regions of nw europe which saw bipartite manorialism + open field systems. here on vaine pâture in nw france:hbd chick added,

    (oh, sorry. forgot. “CPrRs” are “common property regimes.” these collective village institutions that governed open fields and common pastures.)

    …and, again, here are the regions in nw “core” europe where bipartite manorialism/open field systems were found:hbd chick added,

    here you go. core europe. the dark regions of communal open fields (i.e. regions that had bipartite manorialism during the middle ages). from Regions, Institutions, and Agrarian Change in European History…

    by the time manorialism got to east germany (east of the elbe) it was a purely rent-based system. individual tenant farmers working their own farms and paying cash rents. (further east in russia it was often extended families.)

    …and the outcome of all this, i think (*theorize*)?

    and selecting for behavioral traits related to reciprocal altruism while selecting out traits related to parochial altruism, since these folks were neither living/working in extended family groups or marrying close family members, but, instead, cooperating w/unrelated fellows.

    btw, some medieval ridge and furrow field systems are still visible in england. here are three from: gloucestershire

    (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Medieval_Ridge_and_Furrow_above_Wood_Stanway_-_geograph.org.uk_-_640050.jpg …); buckinghamshire (http://www.heritage-explorer.co.uk/web/he/searchdetail.aspx?id=1488&large=1 …); and worcestershire (https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1366&bih=654&ei=lNfoW4ynE6LlkgWSqoCIBA&q=common+fields+furrows&oq=common+fields+furrows&gs_l=img.3…1482.5260.0.5427.21.13.0.8.2.0.156.1397.3j9.12.0….0…1ac.1.64.img..1.13.1330…0j0i8i30k1j0i24k1j0i10i24k1.0.8oaGF6jdXv0#imgdii=KJ7ZkoGp3VKs9M:&imgrc=B81gElEVEKUnbM …):

    and there are even a handful of open field systems still in operation in england today. there’s one in laxton, nottinghamshire. you can read about how the farmers all work together on their manor here!: http://www.laxtonnotts.org.uk/Laxton%20manorial_system.htm …

    oh, yes. forgot to mention: given that WHEAT was pretty much the main crop of medieval manors w/their *common property regimes* (i.e. *collective* village institutions), i can’t see how @ThomasTalhelm et al. argue that rice farming leads to holistic thinking patterns because…

    …of its collective nature

    wheat plus oats and rye. (^_^)

    SEE:

    (http://science.sciencemag.org/content/344/6184/603

    …. nw “core” european wheat farming WAS collective for something like 500-1000 years (depending on region).

    afaics, the diff ofc is *who* one is collective with: family? or unrelated individuals?

    I was brought up thinking I was Irish and Scottish (and I am) I’m just a whole lot of Viking/Norman alsoNov 13, 2018, 2:21 PMCurt Doolittle(Same here)Nov 13, 2018, 3:38 PMGreg HamiltonLike most conquering peoples the Normans married into local ruling families.

    You can see marriages across the “border”a decent amount to obviously end hostilities

    @hbdchick

    the main feature of bipartite manorialism in medieval europe was the dual, conjoined arrangement of the central manor farm (the demesne) along with the attached individual farms of the tenants, with the tenants owing labor on the demesne (later rent)…

    …tenants were independently responsible for the success of their own farms, i.e. w/the production of foodstuffs for themselves (to be self-sufficient iow) as well as for producing a certain amount of foods and products for the manor (agricultural, but also things like cloth)…

    …another extremely important aspect of bipartite manorialism, tho, was the curious feature of *common* arable fields in which tenants were allotted certain furrows to farm alongside and inbetween the furrows of the demesne…

    …these furrows *were* the tenants’ farms (alongside whatever garden they might have). in the early days of manorialism, the furrows/farms were not passed down within families, but “reassigned” each generation. over time tenancies became inheritable and eventually…

    …the common field system disappeared and farms were restructured to be more like free-standing units (although still within the manor system), but for a good 500-1000 years, depending on the region, the common field system was in place…

    …however, in order to avoid any tragedies of commons, tenants came together on village councils to agree upon plans for planting and the grazing of animals in fallow fields, etc. here from Tradition and Transformation in Anglo-Saxon England (https://books.google.com/books?id=_SlMAQAAQBAJ …):

    …the same practices were found in other regions of nw europe which saw bipartite manorialism + open field systems. here on vaine pâture in nw france:hbd chick added,

    (oh, sorry. forgot. “CPrRs” are “common property regimes.” these collective village institutions that governed open fields and common pastures.)

    …and, again, here are the regions in nw “core” europe where bipartite manorialism/open field systems were found:hbd chick added,

    here you go. core europe. the dark regions of communal open fields (i.e. regions that had bipartite manorialism during the middle ages). from Regions, Institutions, and Agrarian Change in European History…

    by the time manorialism got to east germany (east of the elbe) it was a purely rent-based system. individual tenant farmers working their own farms and paying cash rents. (further east in russia it was often extended families.)

    …and the outcome of all this, i think (*theorize*)?

    and selecting for behavioral traits related to reciprocal altruism while selecting out traits related to parochial altruism, since these folks were neither living/working in extended family groups or marrying close family members, but, instead, cooperating w/unrelated fellows.

    btw, some medieval ridge and furrow field systems are still visible in england. here are three from: gloucestershire

    (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Medieval_Ridge_and_Furrow_above_Wood_Stanway_-_geograph.org.uk_-_640050.jpg …); buckinghamshire (http://www.heritage-explorer.co.uk/web/he/searchdetail.aspx?id=1488&large=1 …); and worcestershire (https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1366&bih=654&ei=lNfoW4ynE6LlkgWSqoCIBA&q=common+fields+furrows&oq=common+fields+furrows&gs_l=img.3…1482.5260.0.5427.21.13.0.8.2.0.156.1397.3j9.12.0….0…1ac.1.64.img..1.13.1330…0j0i8i30k1j0i24k1j0i10i24k1.0.8oaGF6jdXv0#imgdii=KJ7ZkoGp3VKs9M:&imgrc=B81gElEVEKUnbM …):

    and there are even a handful of open field systems still in operation in england today. there’s one in laxton, nottinghamshire. you can read about how the farmers all work together on their manor here!: http://www.laxtonnotts.org.uk/Laxton%20manorial_system.htm …

    oh, yes. forgot to mention: given that WHEAT was pretty much the main crop of medieval manors w/their *common property regimes* (i.e. *collective* village institutions), i can’t see how @ThomasTalhelm et al. argue that rice farming leads to holistic thinking patterns because…

    …of its collective nature

    wheat plus oats and rye. (^_^)

    SEE:

    (http://science.sciencemag.org/content/344/6184/603

    …. nw “core” european wheat farming WAS collective for something like 500-1000 years (depending on region).

    afaics, the diff ofc is *who* one is collective with: family? or unrelated individuals?
