—“The data on neuroticism is suggestive of unfortunate findings – it is almost impossible to train out of (huge amounts, and consistent amounts, of time and effort leading to negligible improvements). That’s why it’s called a character ‘trait’ “— Andy Curzon All you can do is practice how you respond to feelings. That skill is mindfulness. Not in the new age version of the word. But in the old: Skill at self monitoring. The only answer I know of is stoicism. Whether you obtain it as my sister and I did by accident, or by intent, it works. You may not be able to train your emotions but you can easily train your reaction to your emotions and impulses.

We are constrained both internally and externally We have five sets of internal faculties: – Physical abilities (actions), one of which is speech. – Senses – the five senses – Intuitions – Reason – Technical Knowledge (actionable knowledge) Each of these faculties grants us abilities – some more, some less, because we are individually physically, intuitionistically, and rationally better or worse in our abilities. We are further constrained by externalities: Geography Resources, Institutions of Cooperation – meaning norms, traditions and laws, and the economy. We can work to improve our physical abilities – with training We can improve our senses with discipline and instruments. We can improve our intuitions with training. We can improve our reason with training. We can improve our speech – with training We can improve our knowledge – with training We can work with others to improve our geography, resources, and formal and informal institutions. We can work with others to improve our productivity in goods services and information. As we improve our internal and external ability to act, intuit, think, and speak, we improve our Agency.

—“[Chinese] are suffering precisely the same process as the West. The most intelligent females are not selecting for the most intelligent Chinese males or, indeed, any males. As in the West, they are dedicating themselves to their education and then their careers, meaning they are simply failing to pass on their genes at all.”—
