    —“…From a strictly evolutionary perspective, any human is capable of more creative production than another animal, and capable of contributing to the orderly distribution of resources in free exchange. But because of at least a century of success-shaming, poverty-praising, and subsidizing, coupled with accelerating automation, there are a mass of people who are zero-sum in the economy, who need not be. How we appeal to them without giving them something undeserved is the big question.”– Steve Pender

    Rather than seek approval or consent, offer support, kindness, affection, love, and education to fellow moral men. Never cede control to the immoral – which is what asking, begging, working for, approval and consent give him. Instead, spend your efforts on the true, good and beautiful. Never compromise or suffer the immoral, unethical, the deceitful, and the fool. Merely defeat, conquer, punish and ostracize the wicked.

    –Help The Disciplined. Let Suffer The Impulsive. Punish the Wicked.–

    What’s on my mind? I like to help people, sure. An investment in a business that I can understand, that has a track record, the management team is experienced, moral, and smart, and where others of equal or greater experience have already invested? Sure, if I have money available. An investment in a business that I understand, where I know the management personally, without a track record, but where I can add value, exert influence, and rescue it myself if it gets into trouble? Sure, maybe – if my plate isn’t full. A very, very small investment in something I think is very interesting for personal reasons, but I’m willing and likely to lose the entire investment immediately? Maybe. Helping a close friend or family member recover from a personal medical or legal catastrophe? Sometimes – rarely. Helping someone recover from a lapse in judgement (in this case someone who has a problem with gambling, but most often it’s been drunk driving) – never. Paying a high personal or business cost to punish cheaters, liars, and the selfish? Always. (I don’t tell those stories any longer.)

    Help the disciplined, let suffer the impulsive, punish the wicked.

    http://slnm.us/99c9qj9False feminist argument.

    Men fear loss of value as a provider and therefor loss of access to sex and affection.

    Self esteem is a Freudian psychologism – meaning a deception.

    All emotional states can be described as economic transitions. And only by describing emotional states as economic transactions are arguments free of deceptive loading and framing.

    Men trade production and defense, and to some degree physical manipulation and transformation of the world for sex and affection.

    The relative value in exchange, of a man’s productivity declines with any marginal increase in his mate’s productivity.

    His brain chemistry punishes him so that he increased his productivity, thereby restoring his value, or he must search for a new mate for whom his productivity is likely to retain his access to sex and affection.

    This explanation is born out by the data in all walks of life.

    Period.

    —“Women control access to sex. But men control access to commitment. [Not committing] is just [how] men [are] exercising [their] control – because they are now incentivized to do so. [Under monogamy] they [were] incentivized to commit. [Now they are not]. That’s why the family is being destroyed.”— Kyle Casperson
