  • PACK VS HERD

    PACK VS HERD by Bill Joslin INWARD: Life in a herd – “You’re a member to become a target to reduce the relative risk of all members – your survival depends upon your ability to compete for resources with ingroup members without generating retaliation. The herd is gregarious but if you deviate, or if you require defense, you(and your offspring) will be abandoned.” – the mob – conform. OUTWARD: Life in a Pack – “You’re a member because you fulfill a role within a division of labor. Your survival depends upon your success at this role and how it contributes to the group’s ability to compete with outgroups and external pressures (benefit scales with success). If you deviate, we’ll not abandon you, but suppress your potential for causing damage by reassigning your role (even if as nothing more than an outlet for our tensions)” – the family – be good for something, even if it’s just to be laughed at.

  • Incentives at The Bottom

    Nov 3, 2019, 9:39 AM (Michael Churchill ) There is no incentive for the people on the sub-optimal side of the curve to voluntarily go along with the extinction of their own DNA line. There is declining incentive for the people at the top to enforce laws to prevent reproduction of those who are on the sub-optimal side of the curve. And there are strong IN-centives for both capital and fifth-columnists to encourage reproduction on the sub-optimal side of the curve. Overall human DNA is weakening in western societies, and the effect is cumulative over generations. (Curt Doolittle) The Incentive for people on the sub-optimal side of the curve is compensation NOT to reproduce, as well as prosecution IF they reproduce. (Martin Štěpán) I do see that. We’ve let it go too far. But if we isolate from the left though, I’m pretty sure there won’t be that many on the sub-optimal side of the spectrum. And ones that are, what can you really do with them besides paying them to obey the law and not reproduce, at least not more than one kid? If that’s not okay and they still commit crime, they need to be disposed of. And if we keep doing that, we’ll slowly keep improving. I advocated for the same thing in healthcare as welfare, actually. You either pay your own or you use the tax-subsidized healthcare but in the latter case, you submit to one-child policy too, at least unless you manage to pay the money back. (Curt Doolittle) Yes. That’s the correct Incentive and policy.

    You turn from cute to scary when you engage in crime, eschew manners, ethics, morals, and norms, are loud, vulgar, violent, in public, associate with people who do the same, run from police, resist them, and force them to use violence to subdue you, then claiming “victimhood”.

  • It’s the most accurate measure of (g) we have. Trait-intelligence “g”, combined

    It’s the most accurate measure of (g) we have. Trait-intelligence “g”, combined with trait-conscientiousness, and your trait-neuroticism we can largely predict everything about your life. Add the new antisocial personality tests measures just developed and it’s deterministic.
