    Women want you to read their minds and approach them if they would be interested in you but not bear the cost of saying no if they’ aren’t interested in you, and especially if your interest in them contradicts their self- perceived value in the market.

    Personally, I just talk to women and then let them hit on me somehow or other. I’m too clueless to know otherwise. lol

    MOST ALL LANGUAGE IS EXCUSE-MAKING

    People don’t reason to seek the truth, they reason to make excuses for doing what they think is in their interest.

    Language and reason evolved to negotiate in a social order, not to tell or determine the truth.

    Otherwise it would not have taken us x thousand years to develop the scientific method.

    And we would not need the scientific method. Because the entire purpose of the scientific method, is to compensate for the fact that our brains developed to negotiate, not tell the truth.

  • What Is The Most Beautiful Ethnic Group In Europe?

    General consensus is that the ethnic dutch are the biggest and best looking men. That scandinavian and high german peoples are probably equally beautiful in each gender (and the low germans are not). That the northern slavic women are better looking than their men, and probably the most beautiful women in the world.

    The data suggests the blonde germanic facial features are the most desirable.

    The reason being that white europeans have succeeded both in substantial suppression of the rate of maturity (see Paedomorphism, Juvenilization, and Neoteny), while retaining gender dimorphism (men look like men, women like women).

    While the even greater success of the east asians at Juvenilization started from an earlier generation with more ape-like features, and perhaps gone farther than is beneficial – albeit east asians have gained more even weight distribution and longer life spans in exchange.

    And yes, there are people (usually marketers) who study this kind of thing with extraordinary passion.

  • Should Sub-saharans Be Reclassified From A Single Race To Multiple Races Given Their Much Greater Internal Genetic Diversity Compared To Other Races?

    Well as far as I know, sub saharan africans are in fact classified as a single, major race, but also into many sub-races within that major race.

    The question is why we don’t classify whites into as many subraces.

    The older races have more speciation for obvious reasons and the younger races less.

    It’s just obvious what that’s so: more time.

  • Why Are Most White People Richer Than Non-whites?

    TERRIBLE ANSWERS, I’LL TRY TO IMPROVE THEM WITH THE SCIENCE OF IT

    1. Greater success at reproductive juvenilization. we are not sure why other than that slowing the rate of maturity is possible in colder climates, whereas accelerating the rate of maturity in warmer clients is necessary for no other reason than to survive the higher incidence of disease, parasites, and predators.
    2. Greater success at aggressive culling the size of the underclasses. While it is impolitic to say so, the wealth or poverty of a people is more dependent upon the reduction and elimination of the underclasses than it is upon the production of exceptional people and education. A good rule of thumb is that every person at the bottom is six times as costly as every person at the top is productive.
    3. Greater success at eliminating the clannishness impulse. Again, we are not sure if this is an artifact of low population density and cold climates, or purely one of cultural forces influence reproductive choice. In either event, white people (to their detriment) are less tribal and clannish.
    4. For reasons we are just beginning to understand, the west made very different cultural choices. (a) telling the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth as highest virtue, despite any impact it would ahve on the dominance hierarchy. (b) Sovereignty and Markets in Everything creating a market for polities, and polities led by markets, rather than monopolistic hierarchies. As a consequence a division of the state into different institutions that competed with one another. This led to deflationary literature where the rest of the world relied on conflationary literature. (c) that the gods, like men, are subject to the laws of the natural universe, and that man can defeat the folly of these gods with cunning and effort.
    5. So white people are more trusting, more trustworthy, and have institutions that depend upon more trusting, more trustworthy people, and together these reduce the frictions that constrain non white peoples to lesser conditions. The only people close to whites are the Japanese and south koreans. And even among whites, these rules apply only to whites from above the Hajnal Line (protestants and their descendants) who practiced Bipartite Manorialism.
