    People don’t want wealth, they want status. Wealth is only useful if it gains you status. If you cannot compete in wealth production then you must compete in gossip or violence production. Those are the only two possible means of competing with it.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PS6wv3aET8I am not up to writing anything deep at the moment, but Pinker nails it regarding Chomsky’s misreading of human nature, and why he misreads human nature.

    I think my theory that the family is the source of the enilghtenment fallacy of equality, and that post familial individualism has made visible the inter-temporal division of reproductive labor that we see in our mental,moral and political biases.

    So I think Propertarian Class theory is currently the best working theory for the study of mankind.

    As far as I know I’ve nailed it.

    SCRAMBLED TEXT

    Unfortunately, while skilled readers can read scrambled text easily, this ability, can develop into a weakness. In my case, I often cannot actually ‘see’ scrambled words, misspellings, or even the letters present on the page themselves – even if I attempt to, or even if I read backwards. In most cases I ‘see’ paragraphs, or sets of paragraphs ‘whole’ just as most people see words ‘whole’ rather than as collections of words or sequences of letters. ‘Scanning’ has become the only kind of reading I’m capable of. Novels have lost their emotional appeal.

    INTERESTING TIDBIT

    Rawlinson’s paper was not accepted originally, despite his having used fairly good mathematics and evidence behind it, it has become a prominent feature of cognitive psychology.

    NICK CARR TAKES IT FURTHER

    Nick’s Pulitzer Prize Candidate on our transformation from readers to scanners.

    MY ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS

    Is that ‘reading’, like listening to a narrative, suspends disbelief (criticism) and creates the ability to program one another through narratives (myths). While simple pattern recognition from scanning lots of similar arguments is much closer to using judgement. So I am not sure that ‘scanning’ isn’t a superior technique for humans to make use of. Our problem was low information density, and we seem to have solved it. If we have extremely high information density, we can make far more judgements by intuitive pattern recognition (which is very good) and far fewer through our (very frail) reason. And even better, we are less subject to being victims of suspension of disbelief from the narrative.

    We will be less victims of additional lies like monotheism, pseudoscience and postmodernism.

    THE GENETIC ADAPTATION IN FAVOR OF LYING

    I am wired for correspondence. It isn’t a skill. It’s wiring. So much so that I cant stop trying to solve an unsolved problem if I want to. But I can’t follow lateral thinking very often, and even humor is difficult to understand – because much of humor requires lateral thinking as a vent for the unsolvable or undesirable problems. And it is increasingly clear that westerners have adapted, and are now wired, to demonstrate pathological altruism. (Myself unfortunately included.)

    But it has helped me understand that people can be just as easily wired for lying. That it is not so much a skill but an ability. The ability to lie even unintentionally. The genetic preference to lie. Lying as adaptation. As evolutionary strategy. That sociopathic predation may be a beneficial adaptation, just as sexual impulsivity in certain areas of the lower classes is a beneficial adaptation.

    That some people are naturally intuitive of your incentives such that it does not require effort to attempt to exploit opportunities for parasitism, the same way that it does not require westerners to exert effort at identifying opportunities for altruism.

    Some people, some TRIBES are genetically wired for parasitism – as an adaptation.

    Without laws that protect against parasitism we have no organized means of Training, Suppressing the behavior in, or ostracizing, those who have this trait.

    As I have shown in Propertarianism, as we increase trust by constructing property rights that increasingly prohibit various forms of predation, free riding and parasitism, we must constantly increase the scope of property rights so that the law assists us in suppressing ever expanding talents at predation, free riding and parasitism.

    RACE, DISTRIBUTIONS AND RATES OF REPRODUCTION

    Distributions: Its like the race thing. The difference in average performance is determined by the distributions. And the ‘superiority’ of any group in one aspect or another is almost entirely a reflection of how good they have been at suppressing the reproduction of their underclasses. Which means circumpolar people could let lower classes die off more easily because of winters than other groups, while people from temperate climates could not. The caloric requirement for winter, not just in food, but in physical assets necessary for survival, is very different from the caloric requirement for the sun belt. As such remaining peoples in each tribe benefit from, or experience discrimination from, being identified by the demonstrated behavioral mean of their group. The more die-off you have from the lower classes the more your numbers skew and the better you will be treated as a candidate by others. Once that is in place, the higher the trust you demonstrate the better you will be treated as a candidate as well. Whites, at least in the middle ages, and Jews throughout time, had a lot of die off, and successful assortative mating. Whites now protect jews out of status and guilt. Simple. So you trade suppression of reproduction of your underclasses for material advantage for all members of your group, because you can develop higher trust norms, and a better ‘brand’. You can also not do so. I assume everyone wants a high trust society and this is a false assumption.

  • Humans are the Most Unequal Creatures on Earth

    (interesting)

    [H]UMANS divide (a)Perception, (b)Consideration, (c)Knowledge, (d)Labor, and (e) reproduction – and we negotiate through words and provide ‘facts’ or ‘data’ through acts of voluntary exchange.

    We operate as a fascinating computational system. Just as a transistor flips to make a connection that was not previously available, and signals downstream its change in state, we signal through voluntary exchange our change in state, and in doing so we capture and distribute information about our perceptions.

    We were cognizant of the division of reproductive labor, overly obsessed with the division of labor once we discovered it, and only in the past few generations have come to understand the importance of the division of knowledge determined by intellectual ability, and now we have begun to understand the division of perception and consideration is also genetically determined.
    We got stock in the error of equality. Yet, we are perhaps one of the most unequal, if not THE MOST UNEQUAL creatures in existence – because we have greater capacity for inequality.
