    Broken women like impulsive men should be avoided despite the high entertainment value and low cost of acquisition.

    ( Overhearing conversations: I know it’s just empirically true that most africans instinctually retain a fear of deep water. But for some reason I just can’t imagine it. Any more than I can imagine the asian fascination with youth bordering on pedophilia. Any more than I can imagine the European fascination with altrusim.Any more than I can imagine what it’s like to think like a woman. It’s just one of those things. )

    http://www.thefword.org.uk/2015/09/how-to-date-a-feminist-2/Femininity is reproductively desirable.

    Selfishness is reproductively undesirable.

    Feminine women have more children.

    Mating requires compromise between high investment and low investment reproductive strategies.

    Feminism is merely hyper consumption – end result of consumerism.

    Net is that the author is undesirable.

    Men empirically demonstrate she is undesirable.

    Her beliefs (values) are counter productive and disproportionately selfish.

    No man with any self worth will find her attractive.

    That is why feminists end up with betas.

    We men happily lie for sex.

    But we do not change.

    She will find a man who is willing to.

    Slavic men cannot really compete with their northern and western peers in features – I am not sure humans get better looking than Celt, Dutch, Dane, Swede and Finn, but there sure are a lot of good looking men here, and they have better proportions and fewer asymmetrics. There is a father here marrying off his daughter and he is very good looking. Damn.

    FEAR OF HAVING BETTERS?

    Why is it that some of us find comfort in having ‘betters’ and some of us are horrified by the fact that we have betters – so much so that we deny it? And, is this another expression of the masculine feminine reproductive strategy making its way into cognitive and moral biases?

    Can we please have an honest aristocracy rather than government by pseudoscientific lying prole?

    It’s a lot easier to love your fellow man when you realize that aside from the passionately envious left, pretty much everyone else is a well meaning fool beset with overwhelming incompetence.

    Think locally. Act locally. You are too ignorant to do otherwise.

    They are less concerned with discipline and order because the kids have had enough time and attention. And there is very little demand for excellence, only effort. And zero status signalling going on.

  • I haven’t noticed any decline in cognitive ability with age, just the opposite:

    I haven’t noticed any decline in cognitive ability with age, just the opposite: there is a sort of critical mass you can achieve where all new learning is easier.

    I do notice two things: languages used to be easy, and I used to retain local maps more easily.

    But it seems more that I have to focus on language and spatial memory.

    So I am not sure it’s a loss of function rather than the relative dominance of internal thought relative to new external stimuli.

    What would methuselah think like? Almost all experience would be noise.

    For we infovores, so we grow irritable with age if we are no longer able to find new experiences via information?

    I know that I am like a drug addict and become agitated if I cannot find new information to consume.

    How does it transform our thinking now that information access cost is near zero?

    Is scanning really inferior to reading? Is Nick Carr right or wrong?

    Why is internal reasoning more effective than external searching if pattern recognition so readily defeats reason?

    We are super predators.

    It is only logical, in retrospect, that we would succeed in genetic pacification of not only ourselves but the world. And the the apex of our genetic pacification is achievable through cooperation.
