  • A Wise Woman Speaks: Have A Few Kids And Get Back To Me

    —“The refrain in my head is generally “have a few kids and get back to me” lolol ;)”—Jeannine DiPerna


    If you don’t have kids you don’t know much about the world. If you don’t have a business, you don’t know much about how the world works. If you haven’t traveled the world you don’t understand how hard our ancestors worked NOT to be like the rest of it. Wherever people are, It’s mostly a sh-t hole.

  • The Most Reliable Test of Whether Someone Has an Empathy Deficit

    —“Is cruelty to animals the most reliable test of whether someone has an empathy deficit?”—

    It is very indicative of sociopathy and increased risk of people who will engage in criminal activity. It’s the most accurate I know of. As for ‘abusing or neglecting animals in frustration, it can be any number of factors including idiocy, incompetence, exhaustion, and poverty.

  • A Huge Empathy Deficit in The Far East.

    Jan 30, 2020, 7:02 PM

    —“There seems to be a huge empathy deficit in the Far East. Intra-human cruelty can be brought on by moral violations, rather than an empathy deficit. But animals can’t violate, so….”– a friend.

    The sphere of demand for empathy increases with the sphere of demand for cooperation. The chinese are disturbing because despite their long history of civilization that have an equally long history of disregard for human life, lack of responsibility for non-family members, lack of responsibility for the commons, and murderousness against their people that never existed in european civilization’s or indian civilization’s history. Look at how humans are displayed in chinese art, literature, and law., Compare to how they are depicted in greek, roman, continental, and anglo european art and literature. Art is the psychology of People are unattractive and despicable in much of chinese art. Once you see it you can’t unsee it. Compare with how the exceptional human form was central to european art. Videos today are very telling. And so we have evidence from around the world every day. Chinese stand by as children are kidnapped in broad daylight, or rapes are conduced in broad daylight. In general, asian civilization is relatively peaceful but it’s also, in its own way, despicable – just as their ‘face before truth’ is despicable by our standards.

  • Societies and Religions Serve the Empathic Personality Across a Spectrum of Low to High Neuroticism.

    —“Are we talkin about run-of-the-mill Freemasonry or high-level secret handshake Freemasonry?”—Leif Erickson

    What’s the difference besides the personalities of the people who go to them? Religiosity is driven not by intelligence per se, but by two factors: empath and neuroticism that influence how and what we learn. So think of societies and religions as serving the empathic personality across a spectrum of low to high neuroticism. Secret handshakes are higher trust providers at higher cost, and provide higher satisfaction because of more disciplined ritual to those with higher neuroticism. Organizations satisfy demand. Everyone wants everyone else to be satisfied on his or her terms. It’s not complicated.
