  • KNOWING THE SIGNALS OF THE END OF A RELATIONSHIP The duration of a relationship

    KNOWING THE SIGNALS OF THE END OF A RELATIONSHIP

    The duration of a relationship is ascertainable by the frequency of the display of the disgust response. People who love each other never do it. People who will come apart eventually demonstrate it by one person over contentious issues. People who display it in preferential issues are dead already and they wait only for better opportunity.

    A man must never feel a woman is ugly or harmful to him. A woman must never feel a man is weak and harmful to her.

    Some very well intentioned and seemingly moral people do not realize that their difficulty in creating and maintaining relationships is because they confuse abstract principles with personal relations.

    Disgust responses tell us that we are either immature, vain, ignorant, or self absorbed, or completely incompatible.

    We must love unconditionally. It is in business and politics that we must judge conditionally. But in interpersonal relations, love must be unconditional. If it is not or cannot be, then the relationship cannot be.

  • Q&A: “CAN I BECOME A ‘MR WOLF?” JAMES BOND DOESN”T EXIST EITHER —“in the movie

    Q&A: “CAN I BECOME A ‘MR WOLF?” JAMES BOND DOESN”T EXIST EITHER

    —“in the movie Pulp Fiction there is a character played by Harvey Keitel who is referred to as the Wolf. Excepting the blatantly illegal stuff, how would a guy go about making himself this “fountain of utility” to men of sufficient power who require such an option?”—

    These men exist in law, public relations, finance, business, and politics. In business there is an entire class of CEO’s who ‘turnaround’ (clean up and sell) failed businesses. There are PR people who help actors and public people recover their images. In ever sector there are ‘cleaners’. We had a guy in my company that recovered blown customers who were mad at us. Some project managers specialize in project recovery. Some technologists in technology recovery. Some engineers who rescue ships. Some doctors who specialize in trauma.

    Where these people do not really exist, just like ‘hit men’ do not exist, is in the lower classes, where such things are to reality what myths are to reality: illustrations that we learn from.

    The evidence is in that the government doesn’t use spies it uses special forces to kill people. That there are no ‘cleaners’ in crime other than borderline lawyers. That there are few if any ‘hit men’,. Those that do exist are very rare, lead very bad lives, and are not someone you can seek to become. And moreover that the men who do usually kill are merely throwaways, and usually the dumbest guy that they can find, who they have the least regret in offing in order to preserve silence.

    The reason is that such people would be caught unless they were employed by an organization with sufficient work for them. And organizations of any scale have been under assault by the FBI since the 1930’s and particularly since the 1960’s.

    And moreover the economics prohibit it. Underground activity suppresses the option of scale by reputation. Above ground activity facilitates scale by reputation. Anonymity requires rather small organizations free of ‘leaking’. This means that a ‘market’ for services like those of ‘the cleaner’ do not exist. In fact, if we look at the data, the series CSI has done more to educate criminals in how to operate cleanly than any individual ever has.

    There is a longstanding tradition in hollywood to place middle class characters in lower class roles, and equally to place lower class characters in upper middle or upper class roles. This technique is always an interesting device for creating mythical characters.

    So, the way to do this is to literally study any area of inquiry and to learn to specialize in recovering failures rather than creating innovations.

    The Pinkerton organization does the closest to this kind of work on a professional and above board basis. They both act as corporate spies and they prevent corporate spying. (I have used them in the distant past both to conduct ‘research’ – espionage – and to prevent it. And it’s very common in R&D and legal organizations to do so.)

    Now, as a confession, I have taken down organizations run by:

    a) Elliot and Robert Koenig (racketerring), b) Stephen Golub (wire fraud), c) Wayne Seminoff (tax evasion), and now d) Rothbardianism(deception) (all jewish names you might note) for illegal or immoral activity. And there was a time that I considered making a career out of it because it suited my autistic hyper moralism and subconscious need for revenge. And that was why I joined the Justice department for a very short time.

    But I decided that I would rather not spend my life around bad people because it tended to make me angry, and I don’t particularly like hanging around scumbags and getting angry about it.

    So such things CAN be done. They are just not done at low levels of sophistication. they are done at high levels of sophistication.

    Reading a few rudimentary books on the ACTUAL operation of the law is pretty useful. After that you study how to recover projects that have failed. then just a little accounting. And then how to win friends and influence people.

    Then the trick is going and looking for the dirt. If you start looking for dirty people in this world it won’t take you that long to find them. 🙂

    Actually women and men’s product evolution is a little different. Men tend to copy tools and signals that work, just like women do. But their tools and signals are narrower than women’s just as men’s consumption is narrower than women’s. They also tend to be more expensive. And (honestly) women are the most expensive signal we work to ‘buy’.

    So men usually perform discretion at the top and then are copied, while women perform discretion nearly everywhere and try to preserve individualism. (Roughly). This means that men wear uniforms and women customize. It means that men buy cars and women clothes and shoes and purses. It means men build companies and women build offspring. And yes we overlap a bit.

    But this produces different kinds of ‘waste’. Women’s clothing and accessories are more expensive, and men’s tools are more expensive than women’s.

    IQ AND EUGENICS

    As far as I know, there are something on the order of 80 different agencies that contribute to the experience we call ‘mind’.

    As far as I know, and as far as the research seems to indicate, “G” or ‘general intelligence’ is an attempt to measure DEMONSTRATED intelligence, when it was found (and still remains) that people who did better on intelligence tests, do better in every dimension of testing, and also, in every dimension of LIFE.

    Now Aggregates (Averages), are necessary for us to make general statements, but aggregates launder interesting noise. So while it may be true that people with higher general intelligence excel at pretty much everything, that does not ALWAYS mean that some people are capable in niche functions of which there are 80. However, what appears to be the case, is that IQ reflects DEMONSTRATED intelligence remains very consistent in all walks of life.

    THE PSYCHOLOGY OF OBJECTIONS

    Most of what we see from objections to IQ are either differences in rates of maturity (girls feel smarter than boys at certain points in development because they mature faster), Dunning-Krueger effects (which are optimistic biases necessary for an acting organism’s survival), or fear demonstrations of denial, (“I will be left behind”), or solipsisms (inability to separate the self from general statements about humans – necessary for raising children). The people who practice denial are demonstrating fear and that is all.

    Most of this problem in society comes from the transition of polytheistic individualism that seeks utility in the , to monotheistic, idealistic, collectivism that seeks sameness.

    Hence my preference for market government and polytheistic orders, so that each of us feels good finding a niche rather than feel bad if we are not the top 10% in our class.

    THE VALUE OF EUGENICS

    As far as I can tell, the spatial (modeling), and verbal (observing, ordering and describing the the model), are sufficiently correlative with demonstrated intelligence that these two factors are accurate predictors of nearly all areas of life.

    And those that are not, are due to patience and discipline – which is why westerners have and easterners have been so successful: culling the impulsive, and pressing discipline and patience into the lower classes which nearly always are a drag on society other than providing labor and serving as armies with which to hold land.

    Eugenics can take positive (enhancement) or restrictive(limiting or prohibiting reproduction), or negative(culling by killing or hanging) strategies – or all of the above.

    And it is probably the most important commons that we can construct.

    Propertarianism: Since all ‘goods’ are known by exchange, my solution to the problem of eugenics is merely to do the opposite of what we do now: pay unproductive people not to have children, or to have only one child, and punish them if they do otherwise.

  • This Week’s Aspie Post: The Process Of Maturing Your Mind

    [T]HIS WEEK’s ASPIE POST Aspies tend to love everyone. The difficulty in empathizing, common rejection, and desire for connection with others makes all successful connections more enjoyable. The hard part to manage comes in three: 1) It’s hard to find relations since listening to others most of their language consists of signals we consider either meaningless, tedious or confusing. So you must learn patience to listen and try to ask about how and why people feel the way they do. Most of us understand spoken emotions. Meanwhile the autistic impulse tries to control you into avoiding exactly what you are trying to accomplish. This is why ssri’s are so effective: they dull the impulse and allow you to practice building the strength of will over the autistic impulse. Social anxiety disorder is controlled by the same means. We must see the autism spectrum as excess in-uterine suppression of the growth of the self. And that we must assist the growth of the self to compensate. We tend to think as engineers today rather than gardeners and foresters. The mind is constructed more like a tree and some artful bonsai may be needed. 2) It is easy to alienate relations via over sharing minutia fascinating to the autistic mind because system-thought provides constant touch stones amidst sensory chaos in socially and emotionally dense environments. So developing self monitoring is necessary and it’s very hard work. Again the problem is severity: some of us are weakly affected and can rely on will. Others more so and require help in training. Others need chemical assistance to suppress the autistic impulse. And some of us lack sufficient self to imagine the very idea of self monitoring – and it is those people that are non functional. 3) Once you mature having not experienced all the “silly” distractions of normal minds, you can gain this sense of superiority that comes with expertise in anything, and you can lose your desire to engage with (boring, dull, stupid) normals. This requires acceptance that only comes with age: normals have different feelings and needs and they usually fail to mature intellectually as far as we do – or rather they stop maturing at much earlier ages. So the only technique I have developed is love. I keep working a problem in my head in order to keep the big black scary machine busy, and I merely enjoy the company of people like a warm bath or sunny day. But what has surprised me is that simple and good people do not engage in as much signaling with false intellectualism. So I prefer the company of common people for my emotional health, and the company of competitive and intellectual people for my mental health. So how do we socialize? The trick for us is to develop something we can share with others that is interesting. So that we are valuable to the conversation. My strategy is to seek to help everyone I encounter in some small way. This usually involves getting to know them while looking for some opportunity to assist. And in that act of inquiry I show interest in others: seeking to understand, not to agree. That’s my lesson for this week to aspies.
