The Problem: Reading and ‘Rithmetic aren’t enough. If you don’t know algorithmic reasoning (basic programming), basic cognitive science (simple model of the brain), microeconomics (incentives), and macro-political economy(equilibria), then you are functionally illiterate today.

What is the benefit of scale? You do understand that wealth makes us chase our genetic biases and that these biases are antithetical to one another, because they call for opposite conditions? What is the value of scale her than war? It just creates conflict.

Not at all. Evidence is the opposite. However, perversion is more easily pursued in some contexts (black markets, entertainment) than others.

THE BIOLOGY OF THE SENSE OF WONDER
Wonder: The sense of new opportunity from new free associations (discoveries).
Now think about that a moment. Given that all human cognitiion is evolved for the purpose of acquisition, perservering in acquisition, and preserving acquisitions.
And surprisingly, our neurochemistry encourages pursuit of acquisitions (rewards), not the reward itself – it ‘sedates us’ from the cost of pursuing gains (wins).
What causes sense of wonder?
(percpetion of new opportunities)
Why would we want to feel wonder for good reasons?
(incentive to explore new opportunities)
Why would we want to feel wonder for bad reasons?
(therapy, relief from scarcity, but scarcity of what?)
The not so false Promise of Science fiction (conquest of the universe). The false promise of ‘moving to another place’ (escape from political opposition). THe false promise of universalism (ending all forms of competition). The Church of Ted (pseudoscientific end of material problems). The false promise of endless growth(end of scarcity), The False Promise of marxism-socialism (ending status differences), The false promise of pomise of Postmodernism and feminism (ending of gender and identity differences). The false promise of a divine protector (false promise of freedom from life’s challenges), and life after death (death itself).
These are all false promises that sedate us into tolerating the intolerability of physical (scarcity and productivity), natural (reciprocity, markets, sortition) , and evolutionary laws (regression to the mean, eugenics, and red queen).
Everyone wants a ‘free ride’
This is what causes the resistance to P-logic and P-Law. We explain the truth, and we falsify the false. The only wonder produced is in a truthful promise: the coherence of phsycial natural and evolutionary laws, and how to discover, adapt to, and explain them.
But we all want a freebie. We want discounts on our acquisitions. We want conforking lies.
And we don’t like beind deprived of discounts.
And we rebel against suppression of our discounts.
Becuase discounts from falsehood and irreciprocity are crimes.

Patriarchy: “society or government in which men hold the power and women are largely excluded from it.”
Because women infantilize others to maintain control by manipulation and men produce agency in others in order to compete against groups of other men.
Evidence is evidence.

Kin selection forces kin preference.
Race differences in neoteny force differences in reproductive desirability.
Differences in reproductive desirability cause everything from status feedback loops to
Race Difference in Class sizes cause competitive advantage and disadvantage, amplifying Kin selection.
Group Conflict increases with proximity.
Group conflict increases with intersocial dependence.
Intersocial dependence increases with declines in ability.
Wealth creates an opportunity to follow instinct rather than adapt: meaning hyperconsumption.
Differences in instinctual preference lead to INGROUP conflict in addition to OUTGROUP conflict.
Democratic government can only choose priorities among shared interests, not preferences of different interests, without leading to group conflict.
Military civilizations advance faster by USING the market they force us to invest in the commons: hypercapitalization.

No. We see reality fine. This isn’t reality but a constructed deviation from reality that overloads some people’s visual prediction (not mine). Our difference in spatial perception of reality is almost zero, color and background small, valuation more, and PREDICTION from it vast.
