    Sorry. I can’t easily detect the range of subtlety amidst the twitter river of stupidity.

    Let me ruin your day.
    Women have murdered many times more of their infants and children than men have killed in wars. (really) The most successful serial killer we know of in history is a woman who killed children.
    Origin of hansel and gretel? When famine struck Europe in 1314, mothers abandoned their children and in some cases, ate them.
    Men war physically outside the group.
    Women war socially within the group.
    (My research is partly in separating sex differences in lying and anti-social behavior.)
    Women created virtually nothing in all of history.
    Women live in relative luxury in modernity because men have created nearly everything.
    FWIW: women are coddled by both sexes. And modernity is far better for women than men.
    None of us is without sin.

    (cognitive science)
    “Q: Abstractly speaking, does your brain actually care about what you believe as real reality, or does it just go along with whatever beliefs you hold?”

    THE ONE CORRECT ANSWER
    Your brain operates by organizing Itself to produce increasingly long time frames of successful prediction, into episodes(identifiers, indexes) of associations (causal relations) that can be stored (remembered) as associations of fragments (sensations, edges, surfaces, objects, movements, paths, backgrounds), including the fascinating bits of eye, head, torso, limb position, movement, direction, speed, space within a location, and associations between present and other locations. (Just (exactly) like a 3D video game). So your brain doesn’t have anything to care about other than organizing inputs from your nerves into an episode that can predict your ability to act in the real world.

    So your brain doesn’t care so much as it learns to keep your nervous system from objecting to variations from homeostasis (not objecting) where objecting consists of nerves detecting risk, scarcity, harm, or damage. The very thing you call you is a really tiny bit of your brainstem, not very different from a thermometer, that asks your brain to help it change its condition. Your brain evolved to change the body’s condition. This is why all of your brain, like all brains, evolved from organizing muscles to move: change condition.

    Your brain is about as dumb a thing as possible, and from the moment of neural tube formation begins to learn what is related to what, and continues throughout life, with the difference being similar to how babies, children, and youth, teens and young adults, incrementally make sounds, learn a word, put words together, put phrases together, and eventually learn to speak their minds, eventually understand others minds, understand the world, and engage in conversation, and over time learn how to negotiate, convince, narrate, and eventually if possible narrate, or tell stories. This process – in language – is the same for every single thing we learn across the spectrum of what we CAN learn.

    This is why we observe the real world so nearly perfectly, but we predict (reason, imagine, fantasize, daydream) how to act in it so poorly. 😉

    A nerve does nothing but vibrate at different rates. We have no model of the world. We have only successful prediction of moment to moment to chains of moments, to stories of chains of moments, to sort the world into sights, smells, sounds, touches, etc. As our neurons slowly organize all those vibrations of all those nerves into an order, that we experience as awareness, and that we reflect upon as consciousness.

    The brain is really simple really. That’s why it’s even more amazing.

  • “Q: Why have observers questioned the viability of the United States-led global

    “Q: Why have observers questioned the viability of the United States-led global order?”

    THE ONE CORRECT (UNPLEASANT) ANSWER
    (repost)
    “Despite trying to create a Smithian world order of peace and trade, the authoritarian civilizations governments will not surrender their corruption and rent-seeking, and so we are reverting to the conflict of civilizations and the high cost of trade.”

    1 – The US global order, requires the USA (a) to sacrifice its middle, lower middle, working, and laboring classes (b) and its industrial base (b) to pay for policing the world’s transport and trade (the seas, the air), (c) and to provide a world currency eliminating the frictions of currency trade (d) creating relatively stable prices (e) insulating as much as possible against local crises (f) in order to raise the world out of ignorance, superstition, hard labor, poverty, starvation, disease, suffering, child mortality, early death.

    2 – (g) thereby ending the claims that (h) authoritarian governments (i) authoritarian economies (j) empires, are superior to (k) rule of law of reciprocity (property), (l) participatory governments (m) federations of nation-states (n) long enough to complete the transition from agrarianism to industrial technological modernity.

    3 – The USA can no longer afford to do this, because (o) the American middle, lower middle, working, and laboring classes have run out of tolerance for redistributing their wealth and reproduction to the developing world. And ( p) the economic advantage of the american economy has been eliminated sufficiently that we can no longer afford to police the world system of transport and trade.

    4 – And this is because just as we learned from colonialism, we learned from globalization “ all other peoples can’t do ‘whiteness’ because it’ requires too much individual responsibility for peoples other than Europeans”. As such, as demonstrated by the middle east, Russia, China, and now retrenching India, that we can only distribute our technology, but we cannot distribute our cultural institutions.

    5 – Domestically the Class Marxists moved from Europe and Russia to America in the 1950’s and converted Class Marxism to Race Marxism, and Cultural Marxism (neo-marxism-postmodernism) and began the march through the institutions of cultural production as they destroyed those institutions in Europe and Russia. So America is now as internally unstable as other countries. That instability is only ameliorated by debt spending. And America is running out of the capacity for debt spending, now that the world order that Americans created is collapsing.

    6 – The answer is that (q) the world is rejecting our rule of law, because of the decadency it tolerated under race and cultural marxism ( r) the world is retaining what western technology that they can adopt. (s) the world is reverting to their traditional forms of government (t) the world is returning to each ‘civilization or state’ will need to police its own trade (u) the world economy will collapse into starvation on a scale not seen since the great plagues and famines (v) America will be fine because it’s an island, and resource-autarkic. (w) and America will begin to benefit from world disorder, trade problems, and warfare.

    That’s really what’s going to happen.

    Realistically: other cultures are not able to ‘do whiteness’ because they cannot create the rule of law necessary to create the trust necessary to overcome historical cultural norms traditions and values.

  • THE MIDDLE EAST PAST AND FUTURE The middle east (MENA) was the product of four f

    THE MIDDLE EAST PAST AND FUTURE
    The middle east (MENA) was the product of four forces that ceased to be useful when the muslims conquered constantinople, ending byzantium, and forcing the European age of sail that ended the silk road, the value of flood river irrigation, and the utility as a nexus of the four continents, with the transport, commercial and financial revolution just as surely as european capture of petrochemicals created the industrial revolution and ended the utility of farming.

    Ancient World Benefits:
    1. Four contients (trade)
    2. Flood river valleys (food)
    3. The Silk Road (trade)
    4. Resulting population (energy)
    Became a resource curse.

    In other words, while an early advantage, the ME fell into the resource curse. The arab expansion destroyed the great civilizations of the ancient world and the dynamic between them, so despite the multiple attemps fo the persians to resurrect learning, fundamentalism had effectively ended the middle east’s potential by 800 despite it taking to 1000 to manifest, and the 19th century to die.

    The arab expansion and islam were as bad locally as islam was for every primitive people it spread to. We cannot even resurrect persian civilzation now. And NW indian civilization is lost. China is trying to stop it’s spread and I suspect will succeed. Russian, European, and expecially subsaharan african civilization are still vunlerable.

    Each iteration of abrahamic cult of deceit is just a drug of increasing power of addiction: judaism christianity islam and their repetition in the marxist to woke to new-islamist sequence are all the same strategy of providing an alternative to the stress of indo european civilizations and east asian civilizations which require self regulation, responsibility, and trust that appears impossible to the family, clan, tribe and cult nature of the middle east, that prevents the formation of economy and nationalism which requires abandoning of fundamentalism. however the fundamental problem of the MENA world is with an average IQ of 84, it’s not possible to form a modern industrial civilzation with mass employment. So if MENA could not transform to 18th century technology and society how can it transform to 21st? It can’t. That is what the west discovered in our attempt to finish the modernization of the middle east, bringing about the end of our experment with neo-conservatism, and our hope to end world poverty. It can’t be done. 🙁

    This strategy is consistent across European Steppe Herders practicing entrepreneurial cattle raiding and warfare; European mixed herder agrarians practicing conquest of Europe – killing the men and keeping the women as they had captured cattle and women on the steppe; With the only example in written memory being the Spartans, who for all intents and purposes retained the strategy by which the European steppe herders conquered the European continent.
    As such, they commercialized with the other Greeks conquering locals and overextending; Romans conquering locals and overextending; Franks conquering Europe and overextending. Conquering the Levant and overextending. Conquering the new world and overextending; the British restoring the Roman Empire an overextending – all in the greatest commercial enterprise in history: the domestication of animal man for profit.
