—“Politically, socially, or otherwise: as fragmentation grows linearly, the surface area across which a coherent system must retain interfaces grows exponentially. This selection pressure tends to prune nuanced interfaces, and leave those that favor binary states of info sorting.” – Matthew Pirkowski

LIKE I SAID, THEY’RE ALL FEMALE AND THIS IS WHY
*Reverse dimorphism*
—“Another big study is going on at UCLA, this one of discordant for homosexuality. I believe this is the study that resulted from Sven Bocklandt’s work that found some extreme skewing of the X in a hefty % of mothers of gay men.
Bocklandt thought this might mean that epigenetics explained things, that in gay men, genes from the mother that we always thought silenced were turned on.
I don’t know the state of that very large study. Last I read, Bockandt had taken a job with a private genetics company. He had been working with Charles Roselli, the sheep guy up at Oregon State, I think it is, who is studying male-oriented rams. According to Bocklandt, Roselli gave him sheep brains to study.
I just checked the UCLA twin study site and it’s been changed to a facebook website. The remnants of the old site state:
Drs. Eric Vilain and Cisco Sánchez are currently doing a study using the DNA of identical male twin pairs where one is gay, and one is straight. Although these twins have the same DNA sequence, they might use those genes differently, and this different use might explain their difference in sexual orientation.
The lab is trying to identify which genes are regulated differently between the gay and straight twins. Please contact us if you’re interested in participating, or if you know of some twins might be interested.”—-

—“The main problem of western civilization is humanism (automatic attribution of human traits to inhuman people).”— Günther Shroomacher —“Eugenics, in the vernacular, often equates to needless discretionary euthanasia. Eugenics via negativa would consist of eliminating and preventing dysgenic policies and practices i.e. the welfare state etc. Eugenics via negativa is eugenic by not practicing dysgenics. — Bill Joslin —“No society is rich enough to artificially prop up a nation indefinitely via education or instruction. A high IQ just makes it cheaper.”— Lisa Outhwaite —“Hierarchy (A Pack) requires only that you seek your position. There is no fear of exclusion, only change in position. Equality (A Herd) has no position so one is either in and conforming our out for not. This is the origin of male(conservative) female (liberal) minds, and their cognitive, moral, and political biases.”— CD —“Packs survive by fighting together and protecting each other, regardless of position in the hierarchy. Herds survive by fleeing and leaving the weak behind.”— Andy Lunn —“The rothbardian argument originated in a bias to favor the concentration of savings for the purpose of redeployment as usury over the utility of credit. (yes, really, that’s the reason)”— CD —“Politics boils down to generation of demand in response to intuitions of genetic self-interest. Why? IDEOLOGICAL explanatory power is less explanatory than BIOLOGICAL explanatory power.”—Butch Leghorn —“The internet is revealing TRUTH in a way that humanity has never before seen, and the effects will change us as a species.”—Noah J Revoy —“Find the sacred, and you’ll likely find ignorance. For the sacred is that which we hold above criticism, thus removing our best means of education.”—Skye Stewart —“10,000 hours and all that. Novelty is exploration. Repetition is refinement.”—Ely Harman —“Novelty seeking is the preoccupation of those who lack the ability to master.”—Noah J Revoy
Ely Harman September 30 at 5:41 PM In any actually existing system there is going to be some unequal but non unitary distribution of *actual* power (strength, weapons, numbers, resources, wealth, charisma, influence, etc…) So I just think it’s best if the *procedural* distribution of power (voting protocols or whatever) matches that as closely as possible. If your civic religion says we’re all equal and our votes count the same, or we’re all subordinate to an absolute and unquestionable führer, neither of those things is that close to being true, and so there will be huge incentives for someone with the ability, to disrupt, upset, ignore or overthrow the established procedures and institute ones more beneficial to them. It’s fundamentally unstable to structure institutions around false articles of faith or sacred cows. In exact proportion to their falsehood; It’s merely an invitation for chaos…

by Bill Joslin Repost from October 1, 2017 · Re: parasitism, immorality, predation etc… First thing to get is that predation, parasitism and cooperation are all natural consequences of the same natural phenomena – life must seek asymmetrical benefit to survive. From there – cooperation because it multiplies agency through aligning agents, opposed to predation and parasitism which reduces net agency, provides the only strategy (application of natural phenomena) which has an unlimited time horizon. Predation ends when the prey have been consumed – the more successful the predator the more likely the prey supply is reduced to zero; the more successful the parasite the more degradation of the hosts health. Predation and parasitism cap their success – their success increases their limits to success. Cooperation, however, when success increases, limits decrease. When we extend the interpersonal strategy (cooperation) to our pool of resources (environment- including social=material, intellectual) our extraction of asymmetrical benefits increases the health of the pool of resources (stewardship) woof.
