  • Europeans Are Soooo Much More Eccentric in Thought and Emotion and Variability and Width and Scale and Responsiveness.

    Mar 6, 2020, 5:46 PM

    —“I have to say … spending so much time in Latin America … when I come across pure European-blood people … it is an absolute shock. They are SOOOO much more eccentric in thought and emotion and variability and width and scale and responsiveness. It’s like an accordian. You are used to seeing it pressed in to its narrow form and then all the sudden you see it in its expanded form and it’s like wow! I didn’t know all these other dimensions existed. I have seen this so many times now … and it’s a perfect control experiment because these are people who have spent their entire lives in a Latin environment.”—Michael Churchill

    Yep. It’s obvious. Unfortunately it’s a dunning kruger perception problem as well. It’s not possible for those who can’t sense perceive it to perceive it. In other words, you can’t observe it unless you’re part of it. So, how do we measure it so that we can prove it?

  • Pot affects the commons

    Mar 8, 2020, 1:34 PM Pot affects the commons for certain, and we still don’t know whether it’s good or not, and how to judge it. It decreases awareness, aggression, agency, and reproduction. Combined with pornography and continuous sedation by entertainment produces detachment on a scale not seen since the opium wars. That said we are currently running an experiment in self sedation that appears to perform the same function as Soma without state intervention. If it makes people tolerate modernity so that they can continue to be ruled, exploited, displaced, replaced, and conquered, then it will have done what we predicted it would. If not for democracy I would welcome it because it provides mindfulness and a docile underclass and working class population that all rulers seek.

  • Two Causes of Conflict: Personality Clusters, Group Strategies

    Two (2) big causes of conflict: … 1) personality clusters… 2) group strategy Creating two broad categories of excuses to violate reciprocity with parasitism, and to lie about equality, and make supernatural claims. (CD: John. Smart. Great positioning. wow.)

  • Neoteny Works – Fast

    Mar 9, 2020, 11:17 AM Scandinavian women are more feminine in bone structure than they were in the viking era and earlier. Scandinavians are an ~almost even mix of pre-germanic-mesolithic, italo-celtic-germanic-bronze age, and balto-slavic-germanic bronze age. It was common for earlier archaeologists to have difficulty distinguishing women from men. Staying on message: the 10K year explosion and the rapidity of neotonic domestication. Simple man version: 5’4″ petite brunettes have the most children.
