  • Q&A: Why Do People Hold Increasingly Radical Positions?

    [W]hy do people increase radicalism when confronted with the failure of their ideology? Because they do not hold positions rationally, but to justify their intuitions, and their intuitions exist to advance their reproductive strategies (signals). And so they will fight to defend those signals at all costs, consistently escalating to the point of violence if necessary. Becuase one’s self-image and social status are one’s property. So one defends them accordingly. People change their positions only when they can both no longer see a successful use of their prior strategy, and they can now see how to use a new narrative to achieve their reproductive strategies. You can see this not only in individuals, but the broader political phenomenon.

    Was the ‘first shot’ the decision to supply the fort, or those shots prevented the future use of it against them?

    HOW DO WE ELIMINATE POLITICS (CORRUPTION) FROM GOVERNMENT?

    It’s not terribly difficult really.

    You start with the question, in an age of communication at the speed of light, why do we need politicians?

    Then you ask, why do we need majority rule?

    @neoreact1ve If I am correct losing progress is in line with what @curtdoolittle and #NRx is saying. An exit, not an advance @albertbrenner1

    PEAK HUMAN? [O]MG. What if we have passed ‘peak human’ already? What if it is not possible to improve upon late hunter-gatherer genetics, and that urbanization has produced increasingly aggressive, less intelligent, more impulsive peoples? What if inbreeding, low IQ, higher aggression, and higher reproduction are a superior evolutionary strategy? Source: Curt Doolittle
