We should thank female hypergamy for our existence. It’s just not a strategy ada
We should thank female hypergamy for our existence. It’s just not a strategy adapted to a society without adult males. The feminine endgame is not the c*ck carousel but to be a nurturing mother, grandmother and wife. A woman’s strategy to reach that place is hypergamy; to attract as much male attention and company as possible, as flagrantly as is permitted, so that she competitively maximizes her market demand as well as the market availability of males, until she is taken in possession by a deserving patriarch. It gets ugly when there are no such males. Hypergamy is not a stable evolutionary strategy without male dominance, which has been a ubiquitous feature of human existence, throughout and beyond the time of our existence. Sans the role of the responsible father and husband, males get to choose between being a beta cuck and an irresponsible thug. I know which one is reproductively more successful when contraception runs short — no, the future is not feminine. -
Animal Language?
—“What do believe is the qualitative difference between human and animal language?”—Bob Robertson As far as I know animals do not possess language, it only exists within humans. All other creatures merely manage to communicate. Charles Hockett (1967) introduced a generally accepted check list for language, a set of features that all human languages possess. His seven key properties are: 1 – productivity (the ability to create and understand new utterances): system which makes it possible to construct an unlimited number of sentences from a limited set of rules. 2 – arbitrariness (when signs/words do not resemble the things they represent), 3 – displacement (the ability to refer to the past and to things not present), and 4 – duality of pattern (the combination of a phonological system and a grammatical system), 5 – interchangeability (the ability to transmit and to receive messages by exchanging roles), 6 – specialization (when the only function of speech is communication and the speaker does not act out his message), 7 – cultural transmission (the ability to teach/learn from other individuals, e.g. by imitation). As far as I know the reason humans can speak is simply brain size and complexity (long chains). But I won’t go into all of it here. But the ability to imagine futures, imagine stories, ‘self-observe’ and describe those stories in a series of symbols, using a series of rules’ takes a great deal of processing power. While we can see elements of these patterns in parrots, corvids, dolphins, and the apes, we must teach them, and they say very simple things – because they only think very simple things. Assuming we selected and trained enough chimpanzees to use sign language to build a self sustaining community of them, and assuming we could leave them on an island for a few centuries, it’s possible that sign language would persist. I suspect the problem is that it’s hard to produce a community of chimps with the intelligence necessary for perpetuation.

We Filter, We Do Not Train
As far as I know, Universities filter but don’t educate. Fraternities like universities filter further on sociability. Sports like Fraternities select you further on teamwork. Charities like fraternities select you further on service. Universities are meaningful for selecting you. Fraternities are meaningful for selecting you. Sports are meaningful for selecting you. IQ, Industriousness, manners(class), sociability, loyalty, attractiveness are meaningful. Degrees, grades, are not.

We Must All Find A Method of Mindfulness
WE ALL MUST FIND A METHOD OF MINDFULNESS – IT’S COMPUTATIONALLY NECESSARY —“”Atheism is unnatural. People are not evolved for secular epistemic purity but rather for survival through cooperation through language. A major way that people cooperate through language is by taking part in a community of faith. Searching for the truth apart from myth is also one, but one which is not a significant part of our evolutionary environment.The fact that there are actually “communities” (I use that term loosely)of atheists who actually share their values and search for the truth is just a by-product of the fact that certain successfull faith groups tolerate our presence and find us useful. Atheism is may be factually correct, but it is not natural. Atheists are extremely unnatural; about as unnatural as homosexuals and feminists.We should never be surprised is someone reverts to type and converts from atheism to a religion, especially when they get old, have kids, decide they want kids, decide they want to find a good spouse, or any other life milestone that has to do with our supreme purpose on earth, reproduction of fit offspring.”—Adam Voight Perfect. And, I love this quote: —“People are not evolved for producing statements of secular epistemic purity but rather for survival through cooperation through language. “— The limit to the evolutionary value of language is its utility in cooperation – cooperation which decreases all costs (and increases certainty). This is probably why our brains are smaller, yet we demonstrate far greater achievement than our predecessor species: we distributed “computation” into a network through language, whereas other species had only (largely) distributed sense-perception through ‘calls’. If I can hope to contribute to your post, it would be that mindfulness is ‘computationally’ necessary for the simple reason of cost-savings. And that one simply *MUST* find a method of obtaining mindfulness that he can physically, mentally, and emotionally tolerate. Unfortunately, the evidence is, that mindfulness (like hypnosis) is easier achieved by the simple than the intelligent. And that as one’s intelligence increases, one must seek it by incrementally more abstruse means. Hence why stoicism is the most effective and universal means of universal mindfulness: it requires one pay a physical cost of effort, rather than a cult-cost of believing a falsehood as the price of entry, and price of mindfulness.

HUMANS ARE EASY: 1 – (HUMAN): ACQUISITIVENESS 2 – (GENDER): GENDER DIFFERENCE IN
HUMANS ARE EASY:
1 – (HUMAN): ACQUISITIVENESS
2 – (GENDER): GENDER DIFFERENCE IN REPRODUCTIVE STRATEGY
3 – (PERSONALITY): GENDER VARIATION IN PREY DRIVE.
PREY DRIVE
Rest > Explore > Stressor > Search > Stalk > Chase > Bite > Dissect > Consume, (repeat the cycle)
1) REST : SEARCH (Self) (our brain is always searching)
2) STRESS TRIGGER: Need for Stability:
Stress triggers your automatic nervous system, or fight-or-flight response. A period of arousal is followed by a return to normalcy and calm. Individuals with higher N scores have a shorter trigger and can’t take a lot of stress before feeling it. People with lower N scores are able to take abundant amounts of stress before feeling it.
3) SEARCH (EXPLORE): (Thing) Originality: (burn free calories in exploration)
Novelty is the trigger. Dopamine is widely considered the “creativity” chemical, with levels of dopamine and dopamine receptors related to one’s ability to hold visual images in the mind. Your O score represents the point at which you have used up your available dopamine in your pursuit of novelty and your system says “no more novelty or complexity. Take me back to the simple and familiar, the tried and true.”
4) SEARCH (FULLNESS): (Other) Extraversion:
Sensation, or the five senses, is the trigger. Your E score is an estimate of the point when your motoric nervous system is aroused, becomes saturated with sensation and craves relief. Extraversion is traditionally associated with sociability because other people are the most common source of stimulation. People with higher E scores can take more sensation before becoming saturated.
5) “STALK” – Consolidation:
Distractions are the trigger. The arousal system supporting C behaviors is the attentional focus system, greatly impacted by levels of testosterone. High levels of testosterone are associated with a greater capacity for sustained, repetitive, goal-focused behavior. Distractions trigger the attentional system, causing loss of focus.Your C score is an estimate of the point when you finally say, “That’s enough focusing for now. Time for a break.”
6) CHASE/DOMINANCE or RETREAT- DEFEND/SUBMISSION:
Dominance vs Submission Excitement vs Calm Oppy vs Loss
Accommodation:
The trigger is dominance. The arousal system consists of sex hormones (such as testosterone and estrogen) and serotonin, the neurotransmitter involved in sleep, depression and memory. For people with a relative abundance of male hormones and a relative deficit of female hormones, defiance is the norm. Someone with an opposite balance of hormones would normally be submissive. Your A score is an estimate of the point when you tire of being defiant and turn submissive.
7) “KILL” (Bite)/ Fight/Flight
8) TRANSITION(DISSECT): SUCCESS vs FAILURE (Self)
Dominance reward vs submission reward.
9) CONSUME: EAT, SHARE, NURSE (other).
10) RETURN TO REST(1),
There you go.
