    How much of women’s stress is that they don’t have enough kids to cause them to surrender to reality? Isn’t that why women have such feelings?

    CLASSES AND THEIR OVERLAP

    We can divide people into categories (classes) by reproductive desirability ( neoteny, health, symmetry, ratios, height ), social norms (degree of suppression of impulse), occupational achievement, income achievement, and intelligence. And perhaps a hundred other classifications. However, they all overlap to the point where in the aggregate they’re synonymous.

    So yeah. There is such a thing as underclasses, laboring classes, working classes, managerial classes, administrative classes, calculative classes, academic classes, entrepreneurial classes, financial classes, legal classes, political classes.

    These categories demonstrably exist and demonstrably sort people by ability, where ability is the desirability of their personas, their physical appearance, their accumulated learning, and the rate of their learning, and their utility to one another because of those things.

    MALTHUS WAS HALF WRONG

    (worth repeating)

    The bottom is too heavy. Malthus was wrong. It is not that the numbers will defeat us. It is that the numbers of those lacking agency will defeat us because the cost of their transformation from animal to man is simply too high for the productivity available to them to be used to organize them into a voluntary organization of production, distribution, and trade, in the absence of technology and markets produced externally to them.

    —“The African wild dog is a highly social animal, living in packs with separate dominance hierarchies for males and females. Uniquely among social carnivores, it is the females rather than the males that scatter from the natal pack once sexually mature, and the young are allowed to feed first on carcasses. The species is a specialised diurnal hunter of antelopes, which it catches by chasing them to exhaustion. Like other canids, it regurgitates food for its young, but this action is also extended to adults, to the point of being the bedrock of African wild dog social life. It has few natural predators, though lions are a major source of mortality, and spotted hyenas are frequent kleptoparasites.”—

    GENES DRIVE BEHAVIOR NOT INTENT

    If women cannot conceive of the evil of their moral intuitions, why would a (((population))) that had bred for the continuous selection of feminine traits have any more consciousness of their evil than women do?

    We just make excuses for our intuitions. Our intuitions are created by our genes.

  • CONSPIRACY THEORY: THE THING YOU RAIL AGAINST IS AN IQ, AGENCY, AND SANITY TEST

    CONSPIRACY THEORY: THE THING YOU RAIL AGAINST IS AN IQ, AGENCY, AND SANITY TEST

    As far as I know, yes, in any organizational structure, whenever the organization fails, there is always some blame avoidance going to occur, because it probably was preventable with more aggressive action. Yet there is no reward for reorganizing the priorities of any organization.

    That has nothing to do with a ‘conspiracy’ other than a conspiracy of common interest to avoid blame.

    That has nothing to do with the pseudoscientific nonsense that a building that size, subject to those events, would fall precisely in that manner.

    Buildings pancake all over the world. The technical term is ‘Progressive Collapse’. There is no miracle to it. A small earthquake is enough under the right conditions. I’ve seen jack-failures during a renovation cause it.

    That has nothing to do with the pseudoscientific nonsense that the smaller buildings would not collapse from even minor damage associated with the event.

    All of this has to do with precisely what I stated: there is a very, very, very high correlation with affinity to conspiracy theories, affinity to addiction, affinity for schizotypal behavior and though, and affinity to ‘fight’ dunning kruger effects to preserve self-imaage and self confidence given the ‘continuous failure of cognition’ the individuals of these disabilities demonstrate.

    In other words, affinity for conspiracies is a form of animism or anthropomorphism where very simple people preserve some semblance of control over their minds and emotions given continuous falsification of their control of their minds, and emotions in reality.

    In fact, that might be the perfect description of a diagnosis of schizotypal behavior, and the causes of the behavior we see manifest in such people.

    “grasping at straws we can understand’ is a phenomenon universal to all people who lack sufficient intelligence to understand and change, a status quo or condition that they find unacceptable.

    Stupid can’t tolerate being stupid so stupid is drawn to convictions that justify stupid’s emotional frustration. The fact that one chooses something absurd to vent one’s frustration against is demonstration of one’s stupidity.

    Or better said, we can measure intelligence of the frustrated by the category of problem they demonize.

    That should tell you everything you need to know about the psychology of different ‘interest groups’ in across every dimension of the political and moral spectrum.

    Smart does as smart does, and stupid does as stupid does.

    Hence why I argue that all people are merely participants in a conspiracy of common interests between their genes. The rest is all theatre of avoidance, acceptance, persuasion and deceit.

    Truth hurts all of us.
