–“However apart from summarizing the entirety of French thought as the few leftist they have created, I still don’t think it’s fair.”–

It’s not a few leftists it’s the causal origin of all of them. And most of my criticism consists of Rousseau to present. Though, why would even someone who I consider a personal hero such as Todd choose family structures? What were his recommendations for the past and future of europe?

That said french strategy has been feminine and authoritarian since they attempted to bring the church to France. Even before then the ancestral religion of the french region is a virgin cult (feminine) which persists in the language.

You most likely do not yet understand the context of my use of terms as constructions from first causes, where those causes are the sex differences in group strategy.

So:
RE: Empathizing and Systematizing cognitive styles in work by Emmanuel Todd.

Empathizing(Feminine, Experience): This cognitive style focuses on understanding and responding to the emotional states and needs of others. It involves the ability to recognize, interpret, and respond appropriately to social cues and emotional expressions.

Systematizing(Masculine, Causality): This cognitive style focuses on analyzing, understanding, and predicting the behavior of systems based on rules and patterns. It involves the ability to identify and manipulate variables within a system to achieve a desired outcome.

The characteristics of Todd’s work that may reflect an empathizing cognitive style.
a. Emphasis on family structures and their influence on social and political systems.
b. Attention to the emotional and psychological dimensions of human behavior and decision-making.
c. Focus on the role of culture, values, and beliefs in shaping social and political outcomes.
d. Consideration of the subjective experiences and perspectives of individuals and groups.

Specific examples from Todd’s work that demonstrate these characteristics.
a. In his book “The Explanation of Ideology,” Todd argues that family structures shape political ideologies and social systems. This reflects an emphasis on understanding how emotional bonds and relationships within the family unit influence larger societal structures.
b. Todd’s work often explores the psychological motivations behind political and social movements, such as the desire for recognition, autonomy, or security. This attention to the emotional drivers of human behavior is consistent with an empathizing cognitive style.
c. In his analysis of the Arab world in “Allah n’y est pour rien” (Allah is Not to Blame), Todd emphasizes the role of cultural values, such as honor and shame, in shaping political and social dynamics. This focus on the subjective experiences and beliefs of individuals and communities reflects an empathizing approach.

Contrasting these examples with a systematizing cognitive style:
a. A systematizing approach to studying family structures and their influence on society might focus more on identifying universal patterns and rules governing these relationships, rather than emphasizing the emotional and psychological dimensions.
b. A systematizing analysis of political and social movements might prioritize the identification of structural factors and causal mechanisms, rather than exploring the subjective motivations and experiences of participants.
c. A systematizing perspective on cultural values and beliefs might seek to quantify and measure these variables, rather than emphasizing their subjective and contextualized nature.

It is this feminine vs masculine I am referring to, and the vast consequences of the presumption that such a sex bias is correct despite that all feminine intuitions DO NOT SCALE.
