    YOU KNOW, ‘AUTIST’ IS A COMPLIMENT?

    (read a little toungue-in-cheek)

    You know, when you attempt to use the label “autist” as a criticism, you’re just demonstrating that you’re only half-way between female, and male.

    That’s what autism is, right? The extreme male brain. Yep. Look it up.

    So you know, I don’t take it as an insult that you’re still governed by perception, intuition, analogy, storytelling rather than measurements.

    I still love you, because you are my kin, you wish to cooperate, and you are my brothers in arms.

    But you know, crazy chicks, solipsistic chicks, cognitively biased chicks, betas, ‘intuitionistic’ males, rational males, and autistic males describes a spectrum from the most impulsive measurement, to the most scientific measurement.

    I see us in a division of knowledge and labor. Because we are in one. But we are also in a division of gender bias. And a we are in a division of gender bias because of our differences in reproductive strategy. And that difference in reproductive strategy is partly achieved by a difference in brain structure. The more synthetic the more impulsive and feminine, and the more analytic the more rational and masculine.

    Yes, we see a lot of ‘fuked up ness’ in the academy, and that is because higher intelligence comes with certain privileges that bias the minds of people of higher intelligence, and the school, academy, state, liberal order provides incentives for the overeducated, and not so smart (island 120) crowd, as well as those who are compensated by those incentives.

    However, if you look into the military, the legal, and the commercial, and the financial, where we have ACTUAL responsibility rather than moral CLAIMS to wisdom, you find that the greatest minds are always conservative, and the lesser minds are always progressive.

    Always. Look it up. Yep.

    I am aware that my family has been a member of the middle martial and managerial class for all of recorded history. I am aware of my biases. I am aware of my ‘aspiness’ and the prevalence of ‘aspieness’ in my family tree.

    So I know my biases.

    But I also know that when you can understand advanced concepts and do so quickly without instruction, without explanation, without anything more than suggestion, that this is the most empirical test of both intelligence, analytical ability and the extreme male brain.

    So when you use the label ‘autist’ or whatever, I’ll agree that extreme brains pursue extreme experiments. I’ll agree that most experiments fail. I’ll agree that it is possible that my experimental investigation will fail like many other philosophers of failed.

    Unfortunately, for it to fail, you have to provide a criticism of it that does not, by your utterance, prove it.

    Metaphysics only exists as a discipline because of our inability to perform introspection upon the operations (associations) of the brain.

  • The Mind’s Version of Chronic Pain

    YOUR MIND CAN’T FEEL PAIN IT CAN HOWEVER FEEL DEPRESSION – THE MIND’S VERSION OF CHRONIC PAIN. people who work long hours, without walking or running, under information saturation, and artificial light saturation in seasonally dark climates will develop majority depressive symptoms in the population, requiring anti-depressant drugs to relieve the pain (depression is pain). Underclass workers will develop chronic pain and require opiates. In other words, we are working ourselves to death, because chronic bodily pain and depression are just two words for the same symptoms produced by the same causes. Your mind can’t feel pain from exhaustion it can only feel depression

  • Education Myths

    Education myth: the headstart program: remove the context, remove the demonstrated improvements. Education myth: put idiots in with exceptionals and they improve. False. Remove the context and restore the natural differences. What does all society (markets) do? Sort people by ability. What do smart people do? struggle to separate themselves from lesser (more annoying, untrustworthy, accident prone, error-spreading) people. People below 90 iq cannot (its just science) make use of democracy, or markets, anything else for that matter. Middle easterners cannot make use of democracy and markets. Social pathology takes place in the lower end of the iq scale. And high intelligence is inversely correlated with social pathologies. It’s a linear progression. The G-factor (how you process complexity) is not affected by the flynn effect, our white Iq has gone down by 1 standard deviation (15 points) since 1850 according to Nyborg, and Lynn. (I havent asked Flynn). It’s really simple. Educational gains whither when exposed to the light of reality. You can harm a child. But you cannot improve him or her. The market seeks truth. Parenting and education are crutches. Once gone the organism reverts to type. You want better and smarter children? Less school. Less prepared food. More mom, and exposure to reality. More reading books.

  • Any Group Can Cull Its Lower Classes

    –“What I’ve interpreted by reading Curt Doolittle’s posts so far regarding Race and IQ. The average IQ of a certain race represents more of an population make up. What portion of a certain race of people possess agency, thus seeking liberty or sovereignty. Aka how much of them can make into the “aristocratic” class. The West(whites), through their strategy(law and culture) effectively culled the lower tier(less beneficial to a cooperative society)gene pool, enough so that they were able to make enough progress to dominate the entire globe. The other races simply didn’t have the chance to do so, hence the difference in average IQ.”— Liu Gx Liu Gx : Well, that’s the idea, yes. In addition: 1) Any group can cull its lower classes through various means – and transcend their median/average IQ. And nationalism will encourage (force) that to occur, while globalism and ‘tolerance’ creates permanent parasitic classes that can eventually overwhelm the aristocratic classes (the curse of agrarianism). 2) Immigration is a MULTIPLIER ON DAMAGES if we look at average iQ and the consequences of decline in average IQ. 3) Ashkenazi verbal ability, aggression and clannishness, Han spatial ability and conscientiousness, white balance spatial/verbal and creativity and lack of clannishness, african athleticism, extroversion and verbal weakness will always differentiate the groups because these seem to be material differences evident at the extremes.

  • No, We Sense All The World That Is Actionable

    Apr 26, 2017 2:21pm I would say that our senses cover a wide range of the energy spectrum, and other than temperature or sensitivity we are not lacking in available senses nor information processing power. I would say that it certainly appears that we can sense everything that we can act upon or react to. Which is all evolution can do for us. Our achievements have been in extending our ability to perceive and act at increasing scales, through the use of cooperation and instrumentation I would say that we evolved our reason in concert with our language, and that the limitation of serial utterance of language, and the relatively high cost of speech determines the utility of using stories (think ‘parallelization’) that make use of context (high free association ), and that precision (low context high precision) is the result of our general need to increase sense perception cognition decidability, and retention in concert with our increase in scales of cooperation and instrumentation. ergo: our minds evolved to be limited by our speech. As far as I know the demonstrated difference in intellectual performance over the past few centuries has been the conversion of recipe-thinking to general-rule-thinking. And that this has demonstrated that changes in the method of thought dramatically improve the structure of the brain and therefore mind, and the mind’s ability to process information by association. Ergo, seemingly burdensome training of the mind can dramatically increase processing power through the application of new general rules more correspondent with the scale of concepts we utilize. Storytelling, symbols, measures, writing and literacy, reason, rationalism, empiricism, and now testimonialism, all rewire the brain and the mind to use the tools at their disposal – admittedly at some cost of acquisition. We observe differences (changes). The limit is information given reaction time, and limit in causal relations. We evolved when we could make lots of use of time. We can process absurd informational density. I am not even sure if we know how to measure it. We can REASON with limited ability. So given that some portion of people can master higher precision and greater scale, and some lower precision and lower scale, the question is merely how to construct cooperation among people with different abilities, and we encounter one solution: voluntary exchange, and one problem: dispute resolution. While voluntary cooperation scales indefinitely, dispute resolution is limited to a maximum difference between individuals ability to judge (ergo, dunning kruger). Now, the universe cannot ‘lie’. Our imaginations and our brains are filled with folly we increasingly succeed in purging through the development of rules, operations, objects, relations, and values, and saturating the common folk in context and therefore eliminating their need for calculative(rational) equivalency. (environment, information, norms, institutions. Ergo some of us can create institutions, norms, information, and environment that the less cognitively able can depend upon as means of obviating their limited ability to calculate, and decreasing the cost of their acquisition of those patterns. But an individual regardless of his abilities CAN perform due diligence to the BEST of his abilities. And in fact, that is what we do. And we provide prior restraint in the form of institutions, procedures, laws, norms and traditions to both limit his ability to cause harm to others out of ignorance, and provide contextual, procedural and educational means of enabling him to act within those limits. We do this and always have done it whether it be baby, child, youth, adult, mature adult, or barbarian, slave, serf, freeman, citizen, sovereign. Of course, we always seek discounts, and particularly discounts that suit our biases and wishful thinking, and facilitate our use of suggestion, obscurantism and deceit within the limits we can get away with. To leap ahead, and seize your concern, The question might be instead, “why does one have the right to ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, fictionalism, and deceit if cooperation and non conflict increasingly requires we eliminate them? I appreciate your concern for the common man. But in each era, the defenders of the anchors of the prior order of ideas and therefore man, attempt to preserve it – always wrongly. The test is simple: are we adding to the information processing of man or we constraining or reducing it?
