    WHY EXPLANATION, EDUCATION, AND PERSUASION FAIL
    Well, I don’t know where @Steve_Sailer stands on the issue, but the IQ problem is worse than we’d thought, because decline in logical ability increases rapidly and non-linearly, and human linguistic facility tends to mask how severe it is. There is almost no capacity to educate and explain anything of substance that is disagreeable to the audience and requires mutual sacrifice for the public good by the time we hit the low 90s and certainly the mid 80s.

    Q: “WHAT ABOUT: OUR BRAINS ARE SMALLER THAN OUR DISTANT ANCESTORS?”
    Domestication syndrome. Not clear that there is a difference in brain contents neurons or neural density. Appears that aggression and persistence produce larger brains (energy?) while domestication and agency produce smaller brains (energy?).
    Given IQ differences appear to be dependent on neoteny, and the ratio of head to body, it’s not clear that there is any difference between our ancestors and us.
    But…
    Who is smarter, wolf or dog? Dogs.
    Why? Neoteny.
    We are probably smarter than those ancestors.

    VIDEO: WESTERN WOMEN INFATILIZED (WOMEN”S ROUNDTABLE)
    (Continued ….)

    9) Here is what will ruin your day (‘because it ruined mine). Men achieve status through the accumulation of responsibility (capitalization). Women achieve status by evasion of responsibility (hyperconsumption). Just as there is no human behavior that cannot be reduced to the pursuit of acquisition, retention, or consumption, there is no sex difference in behavior that cannot be reduced to the search for irresponsibility and consumption IN time vs responsibility and capitalization OVER time. Likewise, women are devoted IN time, but men are loyal OVER time. In this sense, this is why relationships are returning to pre-agrarian serial monogamy with frequent ‘cheating’. So in abstract terms “women are eschewing political responsibility for personal hyperconsumption.” This is burning down civilizational capital in a genetic and cultural bonfire. But what are we to do? (Sweden,Denmark while we can afford it).
    10) Civilization depends on very complex accumulated ‘technologies’ of cooperation that provide us with Pareto hierarchies and nash distributions. We have just thrown a wrench in evolution. And while we’re taking the decline in population worldwide as a good thing given the energy cost per capita of industrial-age mankind, the fact is that our entire way of life is going to collapse if we do not find a way to adapt to this ‘wrench in the works’: the breakdown of intersexual markets, due to the breakdown of intersexual value.

    Great chat.
    -Cheers

    NOTES:
    1) Adulthood: Most civs, a woman is an adult when she has children (is responsible). Still true in some of the Catholic countries.
    2) Male Protectionism: We don’t have the capacity to suppress our protective instincts. We’re also far, far, more situationally aware and rapidly reacting in the protection of children. I’ve tried to find research on why women freeze before acting.
    3) Intersexual Relations: women have only one value to men, and that’s femininity. The masculinization of women on one hand and the export of jobs requiring male physical strength or mechanical intuition on the other have collapsed the mating market from both sides.
    4) Roles: The collapse of reproduction isn’t sustainable. What is happening to Japan, and shortly to China and Russia, is going to happen here. Our way of life is dependent upon ‘growth’ and intergenerational redistribution. That’s GOING to end. Soon. Artificial wombs? Might be a necessity. ๐Ÿ˜‰
    5) “Childlike”: Males desire fertility. Youthful fertility has a higher success rate. Neoteny expresses fertility. The entire history of human evolution is driven by the preference for neoteny. And domestication emerged from neoteny. Don’t want masculine men that women universally go for if you don’t also accept that men want young fertility. I mean…. evolution has reasons so to speak. (Yes the Japanese perversion thing is really,r really, really creepy. I understand the biology of it but it’s still creepy.
    6) “Competency”: Yes competency has to do with genitalia because sex differences in INTEREST manifest in the sexual distribution of competency. There is also a fairly large difference in male and female capacity for verbal empathic vs physical spacial differences. This is even evident in how men and women do math. (pictures vs models).
    7) “Coddling” Men and women both coddle women. Why? Men aren’t sure why we do it. Same where women object to mansplaining, but men pretty much ignore woman-splaining twenty-four hours a day. (Many men would view this conversation as woman-splaining. And notice how this conversation is about how you feel, rather than the aggregate consequences of the transformation of reproductive production to work, production, taxation, and hyperconsumption in the absence of intergenerational reproduction. Again, Feels(individuals) vs Reals (systems)). We do this because of the sex differences in the division of the labor of TIME. Feminine empathizing IN time, and masculine systematizing OVER time. Once you understand this, it’s easy to say why men ignore women in anything not interpersonal, and women shame men for their frequent ‘stupidity’ in the interpersonal, or explaining how things work when the subject is how one feels about how they work. I mean. I find it pretty humorous in both directions. ๐Ÿ˜‰
    8) “Boss ????”: This is female independence and the “strong independent woman” strategy. Men have nothing left to ‘trade’. And femininity is the only value women provide that men don’t provide better. If it feels good do it. But men will adapt accordingly too. Marriage and reproduction will continue to collapse. “Society” means children, because children are a commonality, where self-gratification is a particularism. So we don’t have a ‘society’ without children and families. Nothing we can do about it. CORE ISSUE: the destruction of the intersexual marketplace for reproduction, and the reduction of costs by the two-parent family (or even extended three-generational family is even better.).

    I don’t know really. Because none of my followers that interact with me, have said such a thing, or fail to grasp that whenever I say anything about female->feminine->Mixed <-Masculine<- Male that we’re talking about distributions (in other words, we intrinsically understand Distributions vs NAXALTs.).

    So, if “most of my followers” believe such a thing that would be …. odd. They couldn’t then be ‘followers’. They’d have to be pretty much drive-by raiders. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Not that it would mean you were wrong. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Why? Because our first principle of intersexual cooperation is the falsehood of the ideal type, and instead the equilibrium between the sexes given our opposing interests and the necessity of exchanges to reach that equilibrium.

    So I think I’ll post a long-running poll to see if they do understand (or not).

    That’d be interesting. (I don’t really know the answer.)

    Thanks for the nudge. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    -hugs

    SCOTT ADAMS AND OTHERS: DON’T TALK TO WOMEN? ๐Ÿ˜‰
    Their Position: The only rational choice for men, is to avoid being alone with any women, and minimize conversations with women, by limiting them to absolutely necessary task-based contexts, and leaving immediately when done.
    Why: Women have been radicalized to find ‘me too’ anywhere and everywhere.

    As a CEO, I prefer to meet with women in the open, or if privacy is required, in a restaurant, where there are a lot of people, or with my office door open, and for certain with the blinds open. And while it’s my practice to invite staff over for coffee and scones or something of that nature, invite women only in groups.
    It helps that I adopt ‘flat affect’ easily, I’m sort of ‘numb’ to female manipulation, and react aggressively to ‘feminine games’. But it didn’t stop rumors that weren’t true anyway. Precisely because my assistants were attractive.
    Furthermore, after I was divorced, a number of women pursued me, and at least one of them was dishonest in doing so. So, I could be me-too’ed as well.
    So the workplace is off the mating menu. Dating Sites are off the mating menu. And what space isn’t off the mating menu, that isn’t saturated by people in the hookup rather than relationship game?
    I dunno. I just wouldn’t want to be on the market today. And I’d be really, really, really careful hiring women who had any access to me, who weren’t married with children and conservative.

    MY VIDEO SERIES ON THE MIND
    (Beginning of the Foundations Course)
    Here are my videos on the foundations of cognitive science, through the vision system. I haven’t yet produced perception: world modeling, or consciousness yet. But at that point:
    (a) you should understand how simple the brain is.
    (b) you should understand what’s required to produce artificial general intelligence
    (c) you will be able to understand and compare different artificial intelligence claims, models, and products.
    (d) and this will dramatically reduce your ‘fear’ of AI.
    (e) and then how any ‘bad’ AI must be DESIGNED to be bad, and can’t evolve to be bad on its own.
    My goal is to give you an operational paradigm vocabulary and logic of consciousness. If you want to understand my work
