  • Peak Human?

    —“Are there any morphological differences between the brain of a highly intelligent person and a person with average intelligence?”— Three positive factors: 1 – greater neurogenesis 2 – greater neural density 3 – greater white matter (reduced friction) Three negative factors 4 – Lack of defect in biochemistry (or other illness) 5 – Lack of defect in personality trait (brain structure and chemistry) 6 – Lack of defect due to trauma (of any kind). And one less obvious: 7 – False knowledge or beliefs (non-correspondence). Certain sets of ideas are incredibly attractive but entirely destructive to our ability to think. We should note that so far, (as most of us expected) a) intelligence is influenced by a very large number of genes. b) unfortunately most influences are negative not positive. HOWEVER That means: c) that potential intelligence does not require we increase any substantial capacity. d) that potential intelligence can be incrementally increased by cumulative, specific, genetic corrections. AND f) Ot seems likely that intelligence then developed a long time ago by accident but through reproduction we have not been able to produce dominance in intelligence without controlled reproduction (like we do with animals), OR g) Or the innate possibility was there originally and we have actually devolved from it. This hypothesis isn’t as strange as it originally sounds. Its entirely possible that the rapid increases in our ability to communicate produced greater selection pressure on verbal ability than it did intelligence, and we began to function more as a collective (social) intelligence than individually intelligent agents who imitated each other. The relationship between brain size and intelligence isn’t linear but it exists, and we have smaller (less expensive) brains than both Neanderthals and Cro Magnon’s for example. In other words, we might have passed peak genetic ability in the past but because of verbal communication reduced the cost and size of our brains, and as such, increased the survival of our weakest. We don’t know yet.

  • —“Are China And Russia Military Allies?”—

    CHINA HAS NO ALLIES, ONLY DEPENDENTS **China has no allies. She only has dependents.** This principle is central to east asian thought. There are no equals. In all circumstances someone is superior and another is subordinate. When confucius could not solve the problem of politics he directed all men to organize into a paternal hierarchy, from the emperor on down to the new born child. When chinese history says ‘middle kingdom’ they mean ‘the center of the world’ with them at the top. Chinese thought requires the preservation of harmony – meaning non disruption of the status hierarchy. Even if that means doing everything possible to avoid speaking the truth. Chinese strategy, is to delay and deceive, while building up offensive and defensive capability, until a competitor can no longer even negotiate, but simply obey. This is a very paternal model of thought. It is not necessarily a bad one, for the simple reason that chinese pursuit of harmony, and parenting is somewhat grounded in their (rather questionable) morality. That said, they will kill millions of their own happily if necessary, and have far less regard for human life than westerners (or indo europeans in general) do or can even imagine. So no, **China has no allies, she has only enemies, subordinates, and candidate subordinates.** This is all you really need to understand about Chinese policy, culture, and civilization. Just as heroism sovereignty, reciprocity and truth are all you need to understand the west. In this sense we are not very compatible civilizations.

    What is your opinion so far on global warming and the science?Apr 04, 2018 10:29pmEric Thomasyikes be careful they are citing Brietbart in this article – also a closer look at the two graphs and you realize that one of them is just a graph for europe while the other one is just surface temps.

Not surprised. What about the precautionary principle? What about Elon Musk’s view that running an experiment like “how much carbon can we pump into the atmosphere before it becomes a problem” is inherently reckless and irresponsible?Apr 05, 2018 12:07amPhilip ChristopherElon Musk is, like the vast majority of innovators, inherently reckless. Irresponsible is arguable. No one celebrates the guy who stayed home.Apr 05, 2018 12:25amEly HarmanA strong precautionary principle is basically an admonition against doing anything. So obviously, I don’t accept it in that form. But Taleb advocates a form of it as well based on assymetrical risk/reward which I think is tenable.Apr 05, 2018 12:42amGreg Hamilton@[100001322449172:2048:Eric Thomas] hahaha.Apr 05, 2018 12:49amChris JonesPascals wagerApr 05, 2018 12:57amChristian WarwickYournewswire isn’t fake news per se.

    How does that affect the argument?

    And … um… you thought you were smart by criticizing the distributor rather than the manufacturer???????

    Same reason pseudoscience exists…. presumptions.Apr 05, 2018 8:23amTrè Greystokehttp://yournewswire.com/adolf-hitler-black/Apr 05, 2018 8:24amTrent Fowler”Pascals wager”

    That’s both nonsensical and way *too* precautionary.

    “Not surprised. What about the precautionary principle? What about Elon Musk’s view that running an experiment like “how much carbon can we pump into the atmosphere before it becomes a problem” is inherently reckless and irresponsible?”

    I say that if you can afford the capital investments to build SpaceX and Tesla then go for it. Plenty of precautionary strategies are cause-agnostic — it’s good to be an interplanetary species whether you believe in AGW or not, because even if carbon emissions aren’t driving heat increases we could still perish in a bad singularity or in a nuclear exchange.

    This is the same logic I give for taking ‘prepping’ seriously. A lot of preppers believe patently silly things (e.g. “Obama is the antichrist”), but regardless of what you think will bring civilization down you’re going to need water, so stock up on that.Apr 05, 2018 9:42amChristian WarwickHitler was a brother. It’s clear as day. Or dark as night.Apr 05, 2018 10:14amChristian SeriousEven if that’s true the destruction of common property by government subsidized multinational corporations that eventually damage the private properties of people who never make as much money in a lifetime as some of these thugs make a year is wrong

    The overall goal to cut back on pollution is still a fight worth having. While I still disagree with the idea of market interference from government it is time to cut back on pollutionApr 05, 2018 11:27pmMatthew Gillwhat about the precautionary principle regarding all the pollutants and radiation humans emit? co2 is one of the few that is non-toxic and beneficial to living things (plants). i’m more concerned about tesla’s batteries than co2, and more about the other pollutants released by drilling for and burning oil and coal. humanity as it currently operates is reckless and irresponsible, but co2 is a red herring imo, and a “easy fix” pseudo-solution that doesn’t deal with real problems like deforestation, monocultures, and sickening populations due to deliberately distributed toxins.Apr 05, 2018 11:59pmMicah Pezdirtz3 publications convinced me global warming is a false alarm.

    The first one informed me that the margin of error in the study’s temperature measurements was basically the same as the purported increase in temperature they claimed had taken place over some decades (0.5°C) So they basically revealed no change and painted it as significant change. Lies.

    The second publication demonstrated the historical levels of CO2 in the atmosphere fluctuate periodically and relatively predictably, with a maximum 8 times higher than at current at several points in the past several hundred thousand years. (With no corresponding mass extinctions to my knowledge)

    The third publication investigated the sources of CO2 generation and sequestration and indicated a significant (30%) source of non human generated CO2, as well as general lack of understanding where it goes. Speculated on the acceleration of plant growth as a feedback loop.

    Bonus publication: posited the falsehood of greenhouse gas as a theory bringing attention to the flaws of the original experiment. The atmosphere is not a box of gas with a fixed volume (which rises in temperature and pressure) but is allowed to expand and cool, normalizing pressure, constrained only by gravity.Apr 07, 2018 3:17pm40 NEW PAPERS IN 2018 SAY GLOBAL WARMING DOESN’T EXIST.

    HENCE WHY EUROPEANS NEED THEIR EMPIRE OF NATION STATES UNDER OUR OWN “SHARIA”: NATURAL LAW

    —“Our field’s fixation on the Westphalian state has tended to obscure the fact that the main actors in global politics, for most of time immemorial, have been empires rather than states … In fact, it is a very distorted view of even the Westphalian era not to recognize that it was always at least as much about empires as it was states. Almost all of the emerging European states no sooner began to consolidate than they were off on campaigns of conquest and commerce to the farthest reaches of the globe… Ironically, it was the European empires that carried the idea of the sovereign territorial state to the rest of the world…”— Burbank and Cooper
