Brett;
My objective is to resolve this conflict. I want to prevent this one as well as a possible civil war over it.

If you want to have this adult and scholarly discussion sometime I’d be willing to have it. And I’m working from the science, just like you are.

This conversation is possible, and without blame, given we all, in every civilization and in every ethnic distribution, carry with us both genetic, sex, class, and cultural biases. So just as all knowledge is converging albeit frustratingly on a single and consistent parsimony by that method of producing testimony we call Science, so must at least some cultural differences converge on sovereignty, reciprocity, truth, and duty if we are to cooperate at scale.

And under the verbal microscope not only are our sexes profondly different, and our classes, but most of all our civilizations, and ‘populations’.

We can test many things with language: intelligence, personality, morality, metaphysics, and we can, at least today, given the past twenty years of neuroscience, reduce these measures to their biological causes.

I’ve documented these differences in the sexes, and in particular between the MENA(south eurasian) and European populations. And it’s inescapable and computationaly verifiable (falsifiable) given the availability of volumes of text on the internet.

Parties throughout history in both ethnicities have noticed very consistent biases in both.

There are only two intellectual elites on earth because there are only two people who founded their civilization on law. That’s the jews and europeans. (Even if Jewish law was resurrected in response to the understanding of Greek law’s impact).

But, to say the semites (or just Ashkenazim), do not demonstrate a divergent behavior from the european, expressed in a remarkably consistent distribution, just as strong as that between males and females (if not stronger), is simply either ignorance or confirmation of the problem causing the conflict. In fact nearly all behavioral pseudoscience has been authored by ashkeanzim, for easily explicable rasons – though in my field it’s Rez Kelsen Dworkin and Hart that have most damaged the law.

Now, fixing the current proble, is just the science of our differences. And regulating our prosocial and antisocial behavior by the same standard of measure.

But just as men and women differ in conflict, differ in antisocial behavior, we differ in moral behavior, and we differ in political demand, and in communication, negotiation, persuasion, argument, and conflict because of all of the above.

And we can measure this difference in speech with profound accuracy. And by measuring the difference between Ashkenazi and European speech we see the neuroscience and the culture expressed with absolute clarity.

I’m much less ‘scary’ than my reputation suggests. A reputation earned largely because I’ve done my research by ‘slumming’ (an economist’s term for studing behavior by working and living with drug dealers or other unpleasant groups – like the ‘lost boys’.)
We could do the public a service.

No person of ability ever leaves a conversation with me unchanged by it.
