    http://specc.ie/1PcxuRMOver the past five years, he has accumulated a mass of evidence about the personalities of welfare claimants and concluded that individuals with aggressive, rule-breaking and anti-social tendencies — what he calls the ‘employment–resistant personality profile’ — are over-represented among benefit recipients. He also found that their children are likely to share those traits, which helps explain why poverty has a tendency to be passed down from one generation to the next.

    (note to finish later) (why movies are flopping)

    The Cohen brother’s ‘taste’ has failed them.

    All artist’s tastes fail them.

    Anchoring is inescapable in all of us. But it’s worst in the intuitive arts.

    Thievery is a successful group evolutionary strategy. Some groups practice it purposefully.

    Lying is a successful group evolutionary strategy. Some groups practice it purposefully.

    Wishful thinking is another group evolutionary strategy. Some groups practice it purposefully.

    Truth is an other group evolutionary strategy. Some groups practice it purposefully.

    NW White vs NE Asian delta.

    1) Cranial size.

    2) Distribution width.

    3) Verbal vs abstract

    4) Sexual maturity.

    Their average is better

    Our best are better.

    North Sea White vs Han/Korean/Japanese

    Basically you want a big round head, limited sexual maturity, and as much verbal intelligence as you can get, followed by as much analytic intelligence as you can get.

    RELATIONSHIPS: IS HE OR SHE “INTO” YOU?

    (love)

    Let me help you. If she’s ‘doing you’ then she’s into you. If she’s not ‘doing you’ then she’s not.

    Likewise, if he’s trying to constantly spend time with you, he’s into you. If he isn’t trying constantly to spend time with you, he’s not into you.

    Men and women hold out hope. She holds out hope he will give her more attention. He holds out hope that she will give him more sex. But the fact that you hold out hope is an admission of failure.

    When we are attracted to each other we cannot bear to be apart. If you can bear to be apart. If you can bear be sleep alone. They you’re not into each other. It’s that simple.

    Yes, I am referring to post 1960 relationships. Where our relations are not matters of survival, or matters of economic cooperation, but matters of love and friendship.

    There is a difference between Useful, Interesting, fun, passion, and Love. Love is wanting the other person to be happy in order for you to be happy. It’s the inability to live without the other person.

    Anything else is merely less. Maybe less than love is enough for some. But it’s not enough for those who produce and desire it.

    You must not hope. You must not wait. You must understand: if he or she isn’t attracted to you then move on. Attraction is required for the development of long term love.

    Habit is not a reason for a relationship. It certainly isn’t the recipe for an enduring one.

    KNOW THYSELF

    Most of us must in the end rely upon introspective query of our accumulated experience – all of which is framed by genetic influence. We confuse quite often the required skepticism of the scientist and the luxury of his indecision with the cautious pessimism of the warrior without the luxury of indecision and call it wisdom rather than mere luxury. This behavior is the philosophical bias of the unaccountable, not of truth. Others choose action given their sense of accountability. But whether choosing accountability or unaccountability is in itself a choice between action and inaction. Between decision and indecision. Between cost and cost evasion. All costs are opportunity costs. Time matters.

    WESTERNERS, READ IT AND WEEP. SO TRUE. THE INFANTILIZATION OF THE WEST.

    —“From my perspective, most Western men do not know how to pursue women. Not to be blaming or accusing one gender, but I don’t understand this relationship mentality. Men are not men, women are not women. I feel as if I have to play both roles if being in a relationship. When do people draw the lines between being a child or an adult? I’ve never seen a couple in Ukraine being okay with dirty dishes, laundry, and clutter in the house verses in the states people are okay living in one big mess while avoiding conversations so that they can play “Candy Crush.”” — Kristina Protsenko

    (is it really just cultural, or are ethnic slavs (poland-ukrainian) really that much calmer – less OCD than the germanic and celtic peoples? I wonder if there is any data on autism or testosterone by R1b vs R1a. That would seem very hard data to find.)

    (thoughts)

    A woman (or man) who is very ‘unpleasant’ to you is very difficult to ‘get over’. You don’t really realize that you’re effectively being terrorized, you just take life as what it is. Security outweighs the emotional hardship. The uncertain devil you don’t know is more fearful than the devil you know.

    I understand that I am an unstoppable force AND an immovable object. But I’m also extremely tolerant, and flexible. And that it has hurt the women I have left. And that you can still love someone very much – but have different goals the conflcit between which cannot be resolved. (two of my most precious relationships). And sometimes you just cannot make the other person safe enough to be happy (another relationship). And sometimes you are not enough for the other person (another relationship) and she/he leaves you.

    It is much easier to ‘get over’ those who you love and work well with, than those who you try to love and do not work well with, and those who you try desperately to work well with but terrorize you one way or another.

    It is one thing to miss someone who you enjoyed, and try shake off the memories of someone who made you stressed often. Some people never recover.

    The math is about right. It takes about a year per four years of relationship.
