STOICISM IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT FOR WOMEN THAN IT IS FOR MEN
—“Stoicism has cleared my thinking dramatically. Its so naturally easy for us women to get sucked into our emotions and feminism has made it so we can’t be held accountable. So women are in the mind set that they can’t control their emotions, where stoicism teaches you that you can. I heard that Stoicism was the inspiration for Cognitive Behavior Therapy which is the same treatment they use for women with personality & identity crises. CBT is kind of like diluted small brain stoicism.”—Sarah Heard
Men can feel ‘lost’ without it. Women can feel victims of their emotions without it.

—“The key is training our women. I’ve helped my wife think and speak specifically and empirically, “operational language” (I use this all the time, thank you for that.) I’ve watched my wife go from admin to Vice President of a major corporation because of it. It’s our duty to teach our women to think like men.”—Eric Bumpus
You are braver than I am but I agree that stoicism and operational language would be of even greater benefit to women than to men, because women of necessity lack men’s agency and so they need it more so than we do.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND WHAT STEVE IS SAYING: K CONSTRAINS DAMAGE OF R.
via Steve Pender
Hmmm 99.9% of species have gone extinct. If you’ve seen that video about the impact of wolves on Yellowstone, it seems that predators are more important in keeping r selected species suppressed, than r selected species are at filling their little niches. Suppression of r selected species seems to have a cascading eugenic effect on nature, while unrestricted r-selected reproduction can lead to plagues, famines, etc. It could be that certain r-selected species may fill valuable niches that limit the expansion of more threatening r-selected species though.
However, we do need bees (pollinators), and whatever insects decompose dead organic matter (recyclers).

TRUTH AND ART ARE NOT MATTERS OF OPINION BUT OF KNOWLEDGE
—“Truth, like art, lies in the eye of the beholder.”–Ben Frayle
Nope. Truth is decidable. And so is Art. They are not matters of opinion but matters of knowledge and ignorance. Bad taste and bad judgement are both matters of ignorance and ability.

PILPUL EVERYWHERE
by Bob Moran
The intellectual dishonesty is amazing.
1. “Why did you ban me?”
2. Gives Compliments to open a dialogue
3. Tries to insert himself/herself as relevant or an equal with empty credentials
4. Acts surprised (avoid guilt; “What I did was normal”)
5. Shames (your followers can’t handle being *moderately* uncomfortable)
6. Mis-categorizes (lying or being wrong as “dissenting views and novel ideas”)

—“So in examples where civilization does effectively vet and cull the underclass, how before long the golden age, and how long before the descendants destroy what their ancestors built? Can they do it on their own or do they always import/strengthen an underclass?”—A Friend ^Exactly the problem. That’s right. At some point The middle class seeks profit at the expense of the nation (polity, or genetic distribution). National Socialism was an attempt to change this – unfortunately it was stated in german prose rather than english and as such moral rather than scientific – and that curse has harmed national socialism ever since. So the problem is constraint of the middle class just as much as constraint of the upper class and the underclass – which is only possible with full accounting under the natural law of reciprocity. We never wrote a ‘bible’ of natural law. And it’s time we did. 😉
