    Different level of granularity. This is how your brain works and what and why we didn’t understand – and why consciousness is no longer a mystery.

    Just for fun: it’s demonstrably true that if you take a man and remove all reason and accountability you get a woman. On the other hand, it’s biologically true that you remove all intuition, fear, and unaccountability you get a man. Men are specialized “Super” versions of women.

    Time. Pattern recognition bias: Now, empathic, and Interpersonal (Female) vs Later, systematizing, and Political (male). The way this is achieved in the brain is so simple it’s kind of stupid. Esp since hemispheres specialize in predator(left) and prey (right).

    Intelligence just refers to cognitive innovation and adaptation per moment of stimulation in time. Human’s evolved to maximize morphological adaptivity, biochemical adaptivity, social adaptivity, and cognitive adaptivity more so than any other creature at the cost of calories.

    -“At least a third of the approximately 20,000 different genes that make up the human genome are active (expressed) primarily in the brain. This is the highest proportion of genes expressed in any part of the body, and ultimately control how we move, think, feel, and behave.”-

  • Notes on Dutton’s “Why Rising Schizophrenia and Autism Means Academia Has Gone Literally Insane”

    My Notes Dutton: 1) Yes. Fantastic. This is correct. (schizophrenia<- mutational load ->autism). Although I can’t discern the distribution of influence between load, the effect of those with load, and the effect of those creating ‘nonsense’ to justify their load, and the economic and political conditions that amplify the opportunity for expression of that load. 2) I usually don’t blame the present condition (reversing our historical market eugenics) on load but on the absence of regulatory institutions (a) manners, ethics, morals, norms, traditions, (b) marriage for ‘friendship’ not division of labor, (c) state insured single-parent reproduction vs intergenerational family, (d) mobile labor not provincial families (maintaining interfamilial relations within a territory), (e) Abrahamism v2 in marxism-postmodernism-anti-male-anti-white teaching female relativism, and the failure of Europeans to produce a rational and scientific competitor to Abrahamism v2 because the left was successful postwar in suppressing the eugenics movement, and the right can’t speak of natural selection or evolution in any terms. But increasing load would obviously make a lot of sense. 3) Postmodernism consists of the conversion of rage at natural selection to rage at whites for building a civilization that preserves natural selection via self-determination and markets, and conflating white preservation of natural selection and reaping the benefits, to claims that natural selection is an arbitrary or oppressive expression of power rather than the necessity adapting to the logical, physical, cooperative, and evolutionary laws of the universe. 4) Interesting: so you are saying that midwits (“Island 120 wanna-be’s”) create a status-seeking spiral. So all of these are spirals due to ungoverned limits – the elimination of selection pressure on IDEAS, Behavior, Reproduction, and the social, economic, political, and evolutionary consequences of elimination of selection pressure. 5) (humor) Please help me with your system of measurement. Is it “Witless > Nitwits > Midwits > Wits.” Human vocabulary generally disambiguates dimensions of perception (measure) into three, five, or seven states, so given the fourth, I’m missing the rightmost ‘wit’. 😉 – Curt (controversial) Doolittle 😉
