  • What Are The Hard Truths That People Don’t Like To Admit About Themselves?

    • 80% of people are in the bottom 80% of people.
    • <20% of people organize the bottom 80%.
    • <1% of people organize the remaining top 20%.
    • <.1% of people are ‘important’ to organizing the top 1%.
    • People are not intrinsically valuable, because labor is not intrinsically valuable.
    • We are compensated by others for our ability to use incentives to organize increasing numbers people.
    • About 1/3 of people at the bottom are a dead weight on the remaining 2/3 of people.
    • In other words, with rare exceptions, you are important only to the degree you do not harm or interfere with the 20% of people that matter.
    • the people that matter most are those that prevent everyone from impeding, acting parasitically upon, or preying upon, others: the sheriffs the judges – without whom the competition between parasitism and cooperation balances in favor of corruption.

    Everyone assumes that changing one variable or another will lead to equality but equilibration rules and it’s simply turning out that we have made a world excellent for women to work in and that we must find something else interesting to do – like conquer and rule. 😉

  • Women’s minds, including emotions, evolved, and remain, attenuated for the purpo

    Women’s minds, including emotions, evolved, and remain, attenuated for the purposes of bearing and raising generations of children: when young, when fertile, when mother, when grandmother. But what does this mean? It means that upon appeal to intuition in matters interpersonal, social, and political, that women’s intuition supplies a bias – and men’s does not supply that bias. Why? Because men change physically, but women change not only physically but mentally in puberty – and that change continues throughout life: hyperattenuation. While female precociousness, verbality, attention seeking, manipulation, care-taking are present, the increase in psychological illness, and female dominance in psychological illness, is caused largely (a) this hyperattenuation, and (b) lack of mindfulness training that is typically provided by the child-caring, familial, tribal, and especially masculine limits placed on their behavior by the social condition. It’s quite evident from travelling the world that women act as demand-generators in social orders without which men would not compete for women’s attention, but would compete against men for women as property.

  • Abstract Intelligence is highly heritable and a major determinant of human healt

    Abstract

    Intelligence is highly heritable and a major determinant of human health and well-being. Recent genome-wide meta-analyses have identified 24 genomic loci linked to intelligence, but much about its genetic underpinnings remains to be discovered. Here, we present the largest genetic association study of intelligence to date (N=279,930), identifying 206 genomic loci (191 novel) and implicating 1,041 genes (963 novel) via positional mapping, expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) mapping, chromatin interaction mapping, and gene-based association analysis. We find enrichment of genetic effects in conserved and coding regions and identify 89 nonsynonymous exonic variants.

    ***Associated genes are strongly expressed in the brain and specifically in striatal medium spiny neurons and cortical and hippocampal pyramidal neurons. Gene-set analyses implicate pathways related to neurogenesis, neuron differentiation and synaptic structure. We confirm previous strong genetic correlations with several neuropsychiatric disorders, and Mendelian Randomization results suggest protective effects of intelligence for Alzheimer’s dementia and ADHD, and bidirectional causation with strong pleiotropy for schizophrenia.***

    These results are a major step forward in understanding the neurobiology of intelligence as well as genetically associated neuropsychiatric traits.
