    —“FATHER is supposed be our Captain to the adult world, that grounding familiar voice with direct access to our mind and heart, offering us his ever-present assurance, camaraderie and help for facing up to and navigating through the dangers and hazards inherent with our youthful self. His love and faith and hope forge what feels to be a bridge connecting our immature developing mind to the more refined wise man we are destined in his mind to become. “— William L. Benge

    Mothers make us survive to adulthood. Fathers make us adults.

    It’s not a gene, its that our development is being repressed in order to educate us in the same room with girls, and with different ethnic groups that sexually mature faster than we do. We need exercise, competition, and dominance play. And to learn to compete not PLEASE.

    I think the first difference between my thought and traditional thought, is that i treat us as gene machines first, and our rational and verbal minds as negotiators on behalf of those genes – totally unaware that what we consider good and true are merely instructions from those genes telling us what success conditions are.

  • All crime in USA is decreasing and we know the answer why: 1) Abortions and Birt

    All crime in USA is decreasing and we know the answer why:

    1) Abortions and Birth Control

    2) More (and aggressive) prosecutions (zero tolerance) and incarceration.

    3) More (and aggressive) policing and record keeping.

    4) Extensive expansion of the use of cheap strong pot.

    5) Cheap high-caloric foods with sugar and msg (sedatives), and obesity.

    6) Cheap video games, and other entertainment.

    7) Free, and endless pornography – vastly underrated social benefit.

    8) Reduction of leads in gas, paint, and other products.

    9) Dramatic drop in testosterone levels due to suppression of dominance exercise, fitness, (and possibly estrogens in plastics).

    Also, crime is almost entirely concentrated in certain demographic distributions, and outside of those distributions our crime is about that of europe, with less petty crime here, and more petty crime there, and more white collar crime here and less there.

    My current opinion is that verbal ability in a population and low vs high context is disproportionately influential on rates of development – and until we have better understanding of the genome I can’t but say “it sure looks like the causal axis”.

    @Danethy2 @SAStillSucks @Steve_Sailer China is a very old civilization, nearly as remote as the british isles, and following a similar pattern of development. The chinese rate of development was early because of it, very slooooooow for reasons I think I might understand.Vs westerners who were late and very fast.

    —“We found significant decline in child cognitive abilities due to inbreeding and high frequency of mental retardation among offspring from inbred families. The mean differences (95% C.I.) were reported for the VIQ, being −22.00 (−24.82, −19.17), PIQ −26.92 (−29.96, −23.87) and FSIQ −24.47 (−27.35, −21.59) for inbred as compared to non-inbred children (p>0.001). The higher risk of being mentally retarded was found to be more obvious among inbred categories corresponding to the degree of inbreeding and the same accounts least for non-inbred children (p<0.0001). We observed an increase in the difference in mean values for VIQ, PIQ and FSIQ with the increase of inbreeding coefficient and these were found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). The regression analysis showed a fitness decline (depression) for VIQ (R2 = 0.436), PIQ (R2 = 0.468) and FSIQ (R2 = 0.464) with increasing inbreeding coefficients (p<0.01).”—

  • —“what Is Your Opinion on Teen Sex?”—

    As always, the problem is not sex, but causes and consequences: (a) pregnancy – and the damage this does to not only you, the child, but the society that must pay for your mistakes, (b) and single motherhood, (c) or immature parenthood, (d) the degree of interest in it, such that it detracts from other things. (e) the high correlation between multiple sex partners and unsuccessful families. The ‘intensity’ of the male sex drive in the teens is just …. amazing. Testosterone is the most wonderful drug of all. It’s just mind-consuming. I think for boys it doesn’t matter – we are evolutionary machines and the need for sex is purely physical. But girls are different – and should not use sex to ‘buy’ attention, or being liked, or ‘belonging’, or ‘status’ (which is all too common), and should not participate because of alcohol or drugs – if you need alcohol you aren’t ready yet. This is the best test: If you aren’t prepared with protection, aren’t ready to do it without chemical assistance, aren’t willing to plan it rather than stumble into it, and you aren’t willing to keep it between the two of you permanently, then you aren’t ready. Conversely, if you have protection, don’t need chemical assistance (drugs or alcohol), can plan it so that it’s private somewhere, and can keep it between the two of you permanently (the urge to tell everyone is very powerful), then you might be ready. General rule of thumb: What happens between male and female is no one’s business as long as you don’t make it anyone’s business. This is true in all walks of life. The problem is, do you need to tell anyone? If you do, then you aren’t ready.
