So, what if you’re in a relationship for a couple of years and the other person
So, what if you’re in a relationship for a couple of years and the other person doesn’t want to get married, because he or she says that “marriage isn’t for me”?
Now, myself, I would only say that because the relationship was convenient at present, but that over the long term I thought it wasn’t going to be a good idea, and that I wanted to keep my options open in case something better came along. I have been in relationships that were ‘good enough for now’ but not ‘good enough for life’. Many of us have been.
Usually when someone asks me a question like this I say “Well, the clock ticks on your life every moment. God only gives us one life. And relationships are an expensive investment of time in that one life. And every moment you invest in a ‘maybe not’ relationship is not being invested in a ‘we will try hard’ relationship. And over the long term, a relationship that lasts is the best investment you can make in time, just as a house is the best investment you can make with money.”
Wishing and hoping don’t make it so. Renting a house is money spent but not invested in the home you one day need not pay for. A ‘Maybe not” relationship is the same time spent but not invested in the long term relationship that sustains you in later years.
If a person ‘just isn’t that into you” then he or she just isn’t into you. It’s not complicated. People demonstrate their preferences. Their actions tell the truth that their words do not. Truth is there staring at you. You just have to come to terms with it.

WHY IS THERE WHITE TRASH? —Curt: Can you explain the whole white trash phenome
WHY IS THERE WHITE TRASH?
—Curt: Can you explain the whole white trash phenomenon? How can a country so wealthy and full of opportunities have white trash? I anticipate that your answer is likely to be “it’s all IQ” or something along these lines, but aren’t there opportunities for dumb people as well?—-
“All happy families are the same. All unhappy families are different”
“All domesticate-able animals are the same. All un-domesticate-able animals are different”
“All ‘good’ people are the same, all ‘bad’ people are different”
IQ is correlative, but insufficient explanation for cause. But personality is sufficient.
If we take all these variables:
Visualization challenged vs Visualization/spatial intelligence
Communication challenged vs Verbal intelligence
autistic vs solipsistic
introversion vs extroversion
constancy vs novelty
disciplined vs undisciplined
secure/calm vs nervous/sensitive
compassionate/cooperative vs suspicious/antagonistic
Impulsivity vs non-impulsivity
submissive vs aggressive
With just these variables, we humans have the ability to construct cooperative, disciplined and satisfied minds, or aggressive, undisciplined and unsatisfied minds.
The reason people in the bottom classes are generally difficult to employ MIGHT be intelligence, but all research I have read of late (when we see pseudoscience slowly receding in social science) is pretty consistent in stating that the unemployable people are just ‘bad personalities’. Much of the time it is that they constantly get negative feedback for their behaviors, and this effectively drives all of us into frustration.
White trash is a minority in western civilization but in many cultures it’s the majority. Our culture systematically eliminated these people over many centuries. So they are smaller in number, but now rapidly breeding.
It’s not all IQ. It is just that IQ and ‘good’ behaviors very often increase accordingly. Or that IQ allows us to COMPENSATE for our bad behaviors while lack of it forces us to give into those bad behaviors.
INFORMATINO
I use the information model to study human behavior. And so I focus on the fact that all of these behaviors are constructed by the ability to organize and process information that gives us hormonal (chemical) rewards. Broken people have less ability to gain psychic rewards. Healthy people have more opportunity to gain psychic rewards.
Each of us has a frustration budget.
People at the bottom burn through that budget pretty frequently.
you can have a dumb person with all good traits, and a smart person with all bad traits. It just isn’t that common.
