Nope. Virtue signaling requires you to bear no cost. The entire population of the british isles (not to mention canada) produce little other than virtue signaling, in exchange for spending down 4k years of accumulated capital.

Adulthood begins with responsibility. Responsibility begins with having children

Adulthood begins with responsibility. Responsibility begins with having children. Other countries lower marriage (sex) to 9 years old. The great mistake in classical liberal history was not providing the underclass with their own house, rather than handing over gov’t to peasants.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned since Parkland, it’s that the voting age should be lowered to 16. Other countries do it, we should too.

One of the best reasons to learn how to use weapons is the development of agency

One of the best reasons to learn how to use weapons is the development of agency. Because, you can get hurt, die, or kill someone if you lack agency.

I know, the ‘big relentless machine’ in my head (the autistic urge for order in all things) gets a ‘rest’ when I am using weapons, for the simple reason ‘it’ is more concerned about not getting hurt by the weapons than it is about anything else. So I find working with weapons increases my agency. It gives me peace of mind: a sense of ‘calm’.

This is the same effect that thrill seekers get by taking high risks.

Girls need to be taught agency more so than boys. Boys keep each other in check. No one keeps girls and women in check any longer. They’re all effectively ‘crazy’.

Everyone resists disruption of their status hierarchy. It’s our most unconsciously valued possession. That said, some of us actively seek to disrupt that status hierarchy and climb it (westerners) and some do nothing but reinforce verticality(chinese) and some the bottom(Islam).

I hope intellectual history gives JonHaidt the credit he deserves. That said, as far as I can tell, *These self reported data tell us nothing at all other than that there is a change in self reporting.* All valid data is demonstrated not reported. All reported data = signal.
