  • Regarding Exercise

    September 18th, 2018 10:37 AM REGARDING EXERCISE
    (response to recently released study) [W]e are, like all herd and pack animals, but unlike solitary hunters, evolved to conserve energy and save it for movement with the pack and herd toward opportunity and away from risk. Herds will seek safety in the herd, and continuously move to new territory. Pack animals will patrol their territory together. Solitary hunters will patrol their territory alone. This is why it is harder to domesticate, foxes than wolves, and easiest to domesticate herds. This is why team sports are so important for those with lower industriousness, and why the ‘high’ from exercise is so important to form an addiction to for solitary exercise. It is also why boys need dominance play in sports or hunting in order to stay fit. Training ourselves to do other than conserve energy takes incentives and often quite a bit of effort. Running worked for me despite my asthma because the high was addictive. Lifting weights at home while watching the news every morning was addictive. But nothing was more addictive than wrestling despite the autists disgust at sweaty male bodies.

  • The Cancer of Runaway R-Expression

    September 18th, 2018 9:46 AM SUMMERS ON THE CANCER OF RUNAWAY R-EXPRESSION

    —“Society is yet another biome – an ecosystem. Even vultures have an important role to play. It’s when the /r tries to replace (or successfully overruns) the apex /K that we get system imbalance and social cancer.”—Anne Summers

    [I] hadn’t thought of that analogy but yes, cancer is uncontrolled hyper consumption growth that breaks the balance between cells and the host. So yes, r overringing K is simply the sociological expression of cancer by behavioral information rather than genetic information.

    —“Are you in favor of arranged marriages? I am, but I would love to hear your take”— Erik Lukovsky

    Um. No, because I am not in favor of selling children into slavery for money which is what occurs all too often.

    What I prefer is veto of proposal on grounds of insufficient demonstration of compatibility and merit to produce a home, income, and support of children for those under a certain age.

    I am also in favor of parental monetary contribution to setting up a household and the near elimination of the marriage ‘celebration’ entirely, which has become an absurd debt with which to start a family.

    via-negativa in all things.

    There are too many malincentives at present: delayed childhood and its suppression of socialization and mating rituals.

    Delayed childhood and it’s suppression of work experience in the service of others, and work experience in the generation of trades.

    The deprivation of the young from income from labor such that they accumulate demand for consumption during the period where they wish to do the most exploration and signaling and mating rituals.

    The issue of credit to the young who then indebt themselves. the issue of debilitating student loans to the young who then further indebt themselves, the combination of which is to spend the most fertile years at play rather than familial production.

    The issue of housing interest such that it is almost impossible to pay for a home within the first generation of children, thereby freeing the parents to assist the next generation and save for retirement once the children are grown.

    The issue of high taxation such that two incomes are necessary for the production of a household, rather than a second income for the purpose of extra entertainment and socialization.

    Other people’s engagement is the optimum consumer good. The problem is sortition such that we can engage peers, and separate from inhibitors to our socialization.

    [W]e don’t really use the term ‘Free Will’, because it is an ideal, and so tainted that it’s meaningless. We use the terms Agency (via positiva) and Sovereignty (via negativa) and Reciprocity (via voluntary, productive), and we state operationally what those mean.

  • Differences Are in Cognitive Load

    AGAIN, ALL STEREOTYPES ARE TRUE. BUT AS I’VE SAID THE MAJOR DIFFERENCES ARE IN COGNITIVE LOAD OF PERSONALITY TRAIT, NOT TRAIT DIFFERENCES, AND ERGO – SIZE OF UNDERCLASSES. —“there are no differences between Blacks and Whites on four of the seven personality constructs. Blacks are slightly more extroverted and emotionally stable, and Whites are slightly more agreeable. … (but) differences in the Big 5 are moderated by the cognitive loading of the personality scales.”— Tate and McDaniel [1]
