    Best to avoid analogies and abstractions.

    A grammar consists of the rules of continuous recursive disambiguation with a paradigm consisting n of permissible dimensions of references. Noun, verb, test. That’s all that it takes for every grammar.

    –Q: CURT: “A DEFINITION OF MINDFULNESS?”–

    The goal of parenting, counseling, therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, religion, and ritual is broadly aimed at producing psychological well-being, emotional balance, and self regulation resulting in conscious control of your reaction to internal and internal stimuli: “mindfulness”.

    Mindfulness is defined as the psychological process of bringing one’s attention to the present moment in a non-judgmental and accepting manner. This involves being aware of and attentive to the present experiences, thoughts, emotions, and sensations without trying to alter or avoid them. This insulates the individual from internal neuroticism and impulse, and external signalling by others or the environment.

    This allows people in increasingly populous societies, with increasing divisions of labor, and diverging status and class, to provide non reactive negative reinforcement to signals and manipulation and attempts at emotional coercion. The result is lower conflict at the minimum and higher trust in the optimum.

    Religion was traditionally the means of producing mindfulness though the Greeks (stoicism) and the Chinese (Confucianism) produced philosophy, the ability and training required limited its utility to males and the upper half of the population. The original Buddhism and Chinese ritualism deliberately and directly trained mindfulness. Abrahamic religion added the lower classes, and Indic religions most interestingly essentially a sub religion for each caste.

    Every civilization produced some form of mindfulness as the recovery from the Bronze Age collapse restored trade and contact, and made groups aware of their differences, which was compounded by the depersonalisation of money and credit.

    If you augment ritual and mindfulness with moral lessons you produce subconscious indoctrination absent the burden and fragility of reason and memory. Add public ritual, feast, festival, and sanctity ( funerals) and you have the first normative form of institutionalisation of a group evolutionary strategy.

    We talk about religion because we don’t comprehend it’s function rather than it’s feeling and practice – but the goal of the institutionalization of social cooperation is mindfulness. So far only the stoics have produced a non false religion.

    Religion failed. Philosophy failed. Ideology tried to replace it and is presently failing.

    As such, we see demand for a non false religion as we have ended our tolerance for false religions and failed to produce a substitute or to invest in universal stoicism or an equivalent.

    And women as more neurotic (negative feelings) need it more so than men.

    The evidence of the mental health catastrophe, collapse of sexual cooperation, radical division, and political collapse are all more so than not the failure to produce mindfulness in a population and the re-wilding of generations as the false promise of individualism in which we have no common interest replaced the family as the central institution of society, in which we all share common interest.

    THE ACC: DECISION MAKING
    The ACC, anterior(front) cingulate(encircle) cortex(grey matter), sits above the corpus callosum that connects the two hemispheres, and connects regions together. It integrates information *across time scales* – the value and uncertainty of predicted outcomes.
    The sexes differ in what impulsivity is regulated. Male predator force dominance risk taking, and female prey emotional, freeze, flight, risk avoiding. And the brain regions that inhibit male and female impulsivity are different.
    In fact, perhaps most interesting is the greater dependence in the male on cognition(weaker slower suppression) and the greater dependence in the female in reaction (stronger faster suppression).
    Of course the result is male faster reaction times because of less inhibition, and female slower reaction times because of more.
    Both sexes seek the same levels of stimulation but their response times do differ.

    –“Q: What Is The Better Proxy for g-Factor/Fluid Intelligence?”–
    It’s “adaptive speed”. The broadest associations, in the largest brain volume, with the least information, in the shortest time, with the least repetition.

    Working Memory augments it.
    It’s basically an economy: associating neurons get fed. Fed neurons connect, roadways are frictions. obstacles on roadways increase friction.
    The more grey matter, the more hierarchically organized, the more compute, the more white matter the more transportation. Absence of Friction is the best way to think about the problem of producing intelligence (less genetic load), just as trust reduces friction in our real world economy.

  • DEFINITION: GENETIC LOAD Genetic load refers to the burden carried by a populati

    DEFINITION: GENETIC LOAD
    Genetic load refers to the burden carried by a population of organisms due to the accumulation of deleterious mutations, or the presence of less optimal gene variants, compared to some optimal genotype.

    This concept is crucial in the fields of genetics, evolutionary biology, and conservation biology because it has implications for the health, survival, and reproductive success of a species.

    TL’DR;
    Genetic load consists of the accumulation of genetic non-adaptation to domestication syndrome (neoteny), genetic mutation, and their combinations that result in variation from fitness, symmetry, neoteny, self regulation, and agency.

    The result in civil society, economics, and politics, is class variation, which consists of variation in the capacity to bear responsibility for self, private, and common over increasing periods of time.

    This is why there is so little class rotation. Genetics.

    TYPES OF GENETIC LOAD

    1. Mutational Load

    Definition: This is the genetic load imposed by harmful mutations that arise naturally through DNA replication errors or due to environmental factors. These mutations can reduce the fitness of individuals carrying them.

    Impact: Over time, new mutations may either be eliminated by natural selection if they are severely detrimental or accumulate in the population if they have only minor effects on fitness. The accumulation of many such slightly deleterious mutations can gradually reduce the overall fitness of the population.

    2. Segregational Load

    Definition: This type of load arises when different alleles (versions of a gene) exist at a single gene locus, and the heterozygote genotype has a higher fitness than either homozygote genotype.

    Impact: Even if natural selection favors the heterozygote, the homozygote individuals are still produced by sexual reproduction, resulting in some individuals with reduced fitness.

    3. Inbreeding Load

    Definition: Inbreeding load is the reduction in fitness that arises due to increased homozygosity (both alleles at a locus are identical) of deleterious recessive alleles. Inbreeding can lead to a greater expression of these harmful recessive traits.

    Impact: This is particularly a concern in small populations or those that are isolated, where genetic diversity is limited, and there is a higher chance of breeding between close relatives.

    REDUCING GENETIC LOAD

    Natural Selection and Genetic Drift

    Natural Selection: Over time, natural selection can reduce genetic load by favoring individuals with fewer harmful mutations. This selective pressure leads to a decrease in deleterious alleles in the gene pool.

    Genetic Drift: In small populations, genetic drift can also influence genetic load, sometimes increasing it by chance fixation of deleterious alleles or reducing it by chance elimination of such alleles.

    Artificial Selection and Genetic Management
    In managed populations, such as those in conservation programs or in agriculture, genetic load can sometimes be managed through selective breeding practices that aim to minimize the incidence of deleterious alleles while maintaining genetic diversity.

    Gene Editing
    With advances in genetic technologies like CRISPR/Cas9, there is potential to directly reduce genetic load by correcting deleterious mutations at the DNA level, although this approach is subject to ethical and practical considerations.

    Implications of Genetic Load
    Understanding and managing genetic load is crucial for the conservation of endangered species, the management of captive breeding programs, and understanding human health and disease. For example, genetic disorders in humans are often a direct manifestation of the genetic load, particularly when harmful recessive alleles become expressed in an individual’s genotype.

    Summary
    Genetic load is a significant evolutionary force that affects the fitness and viability of populations. Managing and understanding this concept is critical for improving health, conserving biodiversity, and understanding the evolutionary dynamics of populations.
