    ROMAN ON THE GENETIC USE OF PHILOSOPHY FOR STATUS SEEKING

    —If I understand correctly, your novelty is arguing that ideas are the structure and genes are man’s accommodation of them.

    You can say ideas (civilization) and genes inform each other. Perhaps the influence of ideas is underestimated. I don’t think it’s correct to say that one completely determines the other.

    Different civilizations (ideas, norms, institutions), create different reproductive incentives which lead to genetic differentiation of groups and, after a very long time (many millennia) may cause species to diverge.

    My hunch is that people’s genetics (moral intuition) will cause them to look at a philosophy and ask “how can I seek status within this system?”

    Genetics may determine what strategy individuals adopt: Express it. Protect it. Enforce it. Pretend to express it while cheating. Openly Flout it. Ignore it. Undermine it.— Roman Skaskiw

    SPECIATION IN MAN IS LESS GENETIC AND MORE COGNITIVE, NORMATIVE AND INSTITUTIONAL

    (important) (alternate theory of man)

    [M]an adapts through ideas. Speciation in man is determined by his ideas: philosophical, normative and institutional. Man’s genes adapt largely through changes in distributions of reproductive desirability, aggression, intelligence, and impulsivity. These differences do not show up in our current level of genetic study, yet they determine our futures, because our futures are determined by how we compete with one another’s tribes.

    Different civilizations are different species. This defeats the genetic argument to the similarity of man. Forever.

    That argument is dead. This one reigns. Forever.

    THE THREE GROUP EVOLUTIONARY STRATEGIES

    Feminine: Aggressive Gossip: (jewish)

    Libertarian: Aggressive Trade (anglo neo-puritan)

    Masculine: Aggressive Violence (muslim)

    Russian = ++Gossip +Violence -Trade

    Chinese = +Gossip +Violence -Trade

    I suppose that we can graph all cultures on these three dimensions.

    ARE WE TOO PRIMITIVE A SPECIES TO COMPETE?

    Smaller brains, greater aggression and greater reproduction defeat larger brains and lower aggression and lower reproduction?

    Is this a permanent equilibrium? Or is this one of those processes that is deterministic, and that eventually all the calm, smart people are outbred and conquered by the aggressive impulsive dumb people?

    You know, he was wrong about a lot of things, but Gould said that there was no material advantage to intelligence unless in increased reproduction.

  • Fear of Outsiders: Against Psychologism

    1) Fear of outsiders is not ‘a thing’ but a universal human reaction. Or at least it is outside of northern europeans. It is not an irrational fear. It is a rational fear. That is why humans bear the intuition. It is an instance of the disgust response. 2) The Fear of Catholics and Jews was warranted. Any student of intellectual and legal history will have trouble arguing otherwise. Prohibition was an example of the reaction to catholic immigration. Jews have had an equally negative effect in a number of areas. YOu can say in both cases that we have endured those negatives. But it is very hard to say that between the catholics and jews that rule of law persists. (you may not like it, but it is what it is.)

    3) High trust society resists lower trust cultures. And we pay the price for integrating lower trust cultures with traditional families into high trust culture with absolute nuclear families. It is what it is. Trust decreases, civic participation decreases, economic velocity decreases. (and yes that’s the case, although it’s very contentious, I am pretty sure I can hold that argument against any economist living). So it is a rational instinct (we evolved it for a reason) and a rational fear (empirically the consequences have been catastrophic since 1963). And we require both empirical and operational means of testing such statements to the contrary. (Human perception being one of frog-boiling intertemporal incompetence.)
