    Silly Man Question #1

    Would you prefer a 10 who you had to lavish with everything in order to keep her, an 8 who cares about you but you have conflicting values and goals, or a 6 that is totally devoted and shares all your values?

    —Man is for woman a means: the purpose is always the child.—

    ‘First Part: Old and Young Women’, Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1883)

    Correction. It is his tribe defined by his brothers. For the woman it is her children. For the man it is kin. The family is merely an artificially small tribe. This is why women never defend the borders and men always do.

    Autistic speech is not incomprehensible to other autists any more than mythic or emotional speech is to theologians or women.

    It’s just that we are fewer in number and have not had a language if our own until now.

    Feminine homogeneity requires religion and shaming. Masculine division of labor requires law and decide ability.

    Women raise children to fit in. Men raise men to perform functions and duties.

    IS HOTNESS A SKILL?

    (humor)

    Just out of curiosity….

    Oversing has a pretty elaborate skill system, including hard skills and soft skills, skill levels, and weights (how important they are to your organization).

    I was wondering if we could add ‘Hotness’ to the soft skills. And a list of say, five levels of hotness.

    Kirill says that our product is industry independent, and in strip clubs it’s a legitimate job qualification. Tati says it’s not legal. And that she was ‘recruited’ for an interesting marketing position – until they asked for a full body photo. So while it may be a qualification, it’s still not legal to put it in the application.

    I just think it’s a really good ‘easter egg’. But I kind of suspect that I will lose this debate here in the office.

    So what is your opinion?

    DETERMINACY (WILL)

    —“Schopenhauer suggests that just as your dreams are composed by an aspect of yourself of which your consciousness is unaware, so, too, your whole life is composed by the will within you. And just as people whom you will have met apparently by mere chance became leading agents in the structuring of your life, so, too, will you have served unknowingly as an agent, giving meaning to the lives of others” —- Joseph Campbell

    Absolutely agree. I am not even sure that promise I made in church when I was twelve was an act of choice or one of determinacy.

    STUPID: “We found that people use the label stupid for three separate types of situation: (1) violations of maintaining a balance between confidence and abilities; (2) failures of attention; and (3) lack of control. So, we call people stupid when they aren’t using their given cognitive abilities. We don’t call people with low cognitive abilities stupid.”

    http://www.unz.com/jman/regression-to-the-mean/CASTE AND CLASS RESIST REGRESSION

    (please read) (jayman)

    Jayman explains that while offspring regress toward the mean, each generation’s offspring regress toward their familial mean. ergo, selective reproduction maintains aristocracy.

    Conversely, (which he doesn’t cover) suppression of rates of reproduction of the lower classes increase rates of regression toward the group mean: higher median abilities.

    This is what I try to get across with my ‘soft eugenics’ of paying the lower classes to maintain the commons and to have only one child.

    This is how I explain northern european success: manorialism, requirements for property before marriage and reproduction, delayed reproduction improving women’s choice of mate and teaching her work related skills, freedom from arranged marriages (women’s reproductive rights), and enthusiastic use of culling in the form of hanging in public which selects out the impulsive.

    And this is why I am not a racist but a classist: while there are visible differences in talents in the races that are not explicable by impulsivity: aggression/competitiveness, verbal intelligence vs mechanical vs spatial, creative and novel vs persistent and repetitive – the general trend of increasing humanity’s mean abilities benefits all of us and brings about our evolution (transcendence).

    The reason I am concenred about race is democracy, because people vote in blocks to conduct warfare via government policy that regresses toward the mean rather than the constant improvement of man under aristocratic (japanese, chinese or european) paternalism.

    More another time, but you can probably see how I work this problem using incrementalism, that does not punish the current generation by asking them to suffer. I merely ask that we constrain the reproduction of the lower classes so that we continue to evolve in greater peace and prosperity by the ongoing ‘pacification’ of our genes, the life we share the planet with, nature, and the universe.
