    FOR SCIENTISTS: UNDERSTANDING JORDAN PETERSON’S INNOVATIONS

    1) SYNTHESIS OF LITERATURE, PSYCHOLOGY, AND BIOLOGY

    Peterson has identified the relationship between the monomyth>Archetypes>Plots>Virtues> Personality > Reward systems > Brain structure. So he has converted Jung’s loose (pseudo-scientific) assumptions into a scientific description and integrated it into literary theory.

    In other words, he has found that by use of transformational (monomyth) narratives we circumvent the near impossibility of direct self-reflection, and learn, correct, and relearn by empathy with third party ‘characters’ instead – thereby using mirroring (empathy) to circumvent the challenges of self reflection.

    2) RESTORATION AND EXPRESSION OF STOICISM IS SCIENTIFIC TERMS

    He has taken it further into restoring our natural european religion of Stoicism by suggesting that we can use myth, literature, and self-authoring to accomplish the mindfulness of stoicism, and abandon the abrahamic superstitions that result in ignorance and decline, without moving into buddhism or other forms of ritual. That means only Stoicism produces a mindfulness of *innovation* (adaptation) of the self through action, rather than through disconnection.

    3) REFORMATION OF THERAPY(Error Correction), EDUCATION (Market Skills), AND RELIGION (Normative Discipline)

    The restoration of the stoic program and the use of literature would allow us to reform religion (trainning in the extension of kinship love, training in mindfulness, restoration of natural holidays and heroes), Education (teaching mindfulness as another ordinary discipline like vocabulary and grammar, reading, essay and argument (logic and rhetoric), measurement and mathematics).

    DEFLATING THE CENTRAL INNOVATION IN CHRISTIANITY

    Christianity trains people in only one thing: the extension of kinship love outside of immediate kin to ‘invest in’ (purchase) cooperation that otherwise would not be possible to acquire. But so does the simple imposition of common law, and the development of a middle class by commerce. In that sense, christianity (like judaism, and islam) is a primitive method of cooperation using charity and virtue signals rather than commercial interaction and material reward seeking to build trust in one another.

    THE INTEGRATION OF CHRISTIANITY AND WESTERN DEFLATIONARY TRUTH

    The uniqueness of the west is that we combined deflationary truth, deflationary institutions, and continuous competition ALONG WITH extension of kinship love. And it was that combination that allowed us to both unify in cooperation and remain separate in government and institutions.

    THREE STAGES OF MENTAL ILLNESS

    Mental illness as far as I know, is measured:

    1 – The first by the harm to the individual or his peers (harm).

    2 – The second measure is whether cooperation is no longer possible because of an insufficiently shared reality. In which case we are stuck with the problem of decidability – which corresponds more closely to reality (cooperation).

    3 – The third measure is whether individuals suffer psychological pain because their theories and consequent actions produce results in reality that dissatisfy, frustrate, or agonize them.

    Beyond that we have merely ability, ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, and deceit.

    (sketch. want to show how marrying the state undermines all marrriage and family options by providing a circumvention of the necessary compromise between the genders)

    I have a pre-monogamous philosophy of the family, in that I have no problem paying for and raising another man’s children – none at all, nor another man paying for and raising mine. In fact, as a man, I see the polity as my tribe and all men share responsibility of defending, growing and improving the tribe, and that all the women and children in it belonging to our men, and we divide up the defense, financing, labor, and training of women and children in exchange for the voluntary care and sex of the woman. Of course, in the end, I give greater preference to my children, but this is my form of ‘communalism’. And it requires only that I create the sovereignty that prevents the taking of the proceeds of my production, and thereby prohibiting me from exchanging those proceeds for my caretaking.

    The consequences of this reciprocal insecurity are greater defense of any marriage – the woman in the short term and the man in the longer term.

    As long as I can do this all family choices are available. If not then men are just slaves to the state with no safety in old age from the security of family care. Men mature later, adapt less easily, accumulate cellular damage on behalf of women and children, and die earlier for it, in exchange for higher productivity during their shorter working lives.

    DEVELOPING AGENCY: THE SEARCH FOR PEAK HUMAN

    We probably reached peak physical human prior to the selection pressures of agrarianism.

    We probably reached peak domesticated human in northern europe during the late medieval period. If not by the corded ware era (more likely).

    We reached peak natural animal domestication a long time ago.

    We domesticated the last natural plants nearly two hundred years ago.

    We probably reached peak natural territorial capital by the early 20th century.

    We probably reached peak mobilization of natural human capital in the west by the 1950’s.

    We probably have not reached peak cooperative (economic) technology as such – our monetary systems are lagging. We can improve cooperation in commerce.

    We certainly have not reached peak political technology – our political systems are lagging. We can improve cooperation in the commons.

    We seem to have reached not reached peak information distribution – the central problem being that the market has not curated the inventory of human knowledge (Brought it into scientific prose) yet.

    To ‘peak’ we can largely only remove bads, rather than create goods. Meaning that all advancement will be in improving human capital itself.

    The primary means of improving human capital is reduction of the unproductive (under) classes.

    The secondary means of improving human capital is genetic modification.

    I suspect that I understand the limits of improving human information access and processing and that will

    POSTMODERN TECHNIQUE

    When I say that all (((abrahamists))) are using the female reproductive strategy, I mean that the female weapon of influence is gossip, suggestion, obscurantism, fictionalism, deceit, and rallying (undermining), and that postmodernism seeks to destroy reason as a means of decidability leaving only intuition (feelings) as decidability, therefore leaving only individuals ( equality ) as a means of decidability, therefore leaving only communism (authoritarianism) as a means of political decidability.

    And when I say that the cycle of history is between military conquest by violence, bourgeoise civilization by trade, and slave+women conquest of civilization by undermining (creating weakness) so that outsiders can merely replace their betters with a new set of betters, I mean that it is a cyclical battle between aristocratic order by truth, bourgeois wealthy by pragmatic exchange, and underclass utopianism by gossip, undermining, falsehood, and theft.

    Women and the weak are always trying to recreate the herd and men and the powerful are always trying to recreate the pack. The reason being obvious: the distribution of resources for larger numbers and dysgenic stagnation giving best opportunity for bad genes, and the concentration of resources for small numbers and eugenic evolution giving best opportunity for good genes.

    What we should take away from the french and german works of philosophy is that they resisted the enlightenment with every fiber in them, and sought to replace the structures of power: the monarchies and the church.

    But they did not want truth if it meant restoration of hierarchy – and truth will always restore hierarchy, because our talents and abilities and therefore our value to one another is hierarchical.

    And the attempt to resist that hierarchy can only be achieved through lying about it, and stealing enough that the dominance hierarchy is not visible – or better yet, that the dominance hierarchy is female:he who takes and redistributes most, rather than male: he who produces most.

    Because in the end, we measure all as gains to our reproductive strategy. And we cannot do otherwise.

    Base categories contain full distributions. And stereotypes are the most accurate measure in the social sciences. Look it up. 😉

    by John Stephens

    The Dunning Krueger effect, combined with the unholy trinity of:

    … 1) Cognitive Dissonance,

    … 2) Confirmation Bias, and

    … 3) Motivated Reasoning;

    – is devastating. Especially Motivated reasoning.

    When someone has the natural tendency to question authority, or are heavily biased to feel Anti-authority, they find it much easier to accept the alternative narratives as truth without giving it the same scrutiny as the authority’s narratives.

    I readily admit that one of the hardest things I have ever had to learn to do is to let go of my biases. As someone who questions everything and everyone, learning to put my own stances and beliefs through that same scrutiny as I do with others, is extremely difficult. But it is as important and necessary as anything I have learned.

    I go so far as to reject it outright if I find agreement at first, until after failing to formulate arguments against. I then have no choice but to accept it.

    That is why it is taking me so long to get through even the basics of Propertarianism. Since it spoke to me at the first reading, I have had to reject it until I couldn’t.

    That, and that there are only so many hours in a day.
