THE EXHAUSTION OF ADAPTATION – AND OUR END
I’ve failed to keep alive a central cause of the present intersexual conflict generated by the marxist-pomo-feminist-woke sequence of undermining our civilization, destroying our politics, our families, and our dating, mating, and rates of reproduction.
That’s cause is the rate of adaptation to others beginning at puberty and ending at full maturity in our twenties.
So the combination of extending childhood via school, then college or university, then finally, a decade late, ‘apprenticeship’ in our twenties, during which we finally learn to socialize and cooperate in competing in a market civilization, pay down the indulgence of our educations, satiate the accumulated status seeking desires of consumption, and endure the resulting sexual marketplace we call ‘dating’, consumes the entirety of our incentive to adapt to one another, and form mutual bonds through shared values and the pursuit of shared ambitions, and leaves us islands of selfishness unwilling and biologically unable to exchange the one thing necessary for the formation of a long term mating bond necessary in turn for durable family formation: the exchange of placing one another’s interests ahead of our own whenever possible, to capitalize the relationship, the assets of it, the children from it, the culture and civilization that result from it, and prosperity of the generations yet to come.
Instead we see women avoiding any possible responsibiity for the commons in favor of maximizing personal hyperconsumption especially of attention, and men desirous of resposibilty for the commons in favor of maximizing intergenerational capital and the status that results – but who are unable to achieve it.
We are literally dying from a sequence of optimistic follies of the postwar fantasy of the end of scarcity, and therefore the end of responsibility, and therefore the end of history.
And it was the worst religion ever invented by man. At least the previous lies of previous religions only promised such goods after death.
We don’t need war plague, solar radiation, volcanic eruption, or asteroidal collision to end civilization. We only need irresponsibility.
And the failure of good men to act to end that irresponsibility.
