  • Eli on Love (Great Post)

    [I] think that love (noun) refers to the condition in which one’s happiness depends on another’s. And therefore to love (verb) must mean to act in a manner consistent with this condition prevailing. If we adopt these as our definitions, then it becomes obvious, upon cursory examination, that we can never accurately describe actual “love” (either the noun or the verb) as either universal or unconditional for long. For example, unrequited love would tend to consume, either its host, or its host’s willingness to continue entertaining it; for it entails costs with certainty, but holds out no sure promise of benefits, and would be easy to take advantage of. But reciprocal love may prove (under some conditions) sustainable or even (under others) productive. Curt Doolittle made a status the other day, or perhaps a comment, wherein he opined that the statement “I love you” must resolve operationally to something like “I promise that if you test the hypothesis that ‘I love you’ you will not find it untrue.” So we can resolve this still further to say that “I love you” means “I promise that if you test the hypothesis that my happiness depends on your own against my actions, you will not find it untrue.” —Eli Harman

  • Eli Harman on Our (Women’s) Lack Of Ethno-Centrism

    —“And another feature of Western peoples is low ethnocentrism, because normative outbreeding and the prohibition on inbreeding mixed up the tribes and clans, creating homogenous outbred populations that can universalize kinship trust. This also was a competitive advanatage. White people form the largest ingroups. But we have a tendency to simply assume everyone is ingroup, and treat them accordingly, because in the past, that generally would have been the case. So those features have been hacked, by hostile aliens, who have convinced many of us we can gain status, and signal enlightenment and sophistication, by incessantly attacking our own, for the benefit of outgroup parasites who are unwilling or unable to reciprocate the kinship trust, or kinship altruism, that we extend them.”—-Eli Harman

  • Santagata on The Great Economic Deceit

    —“Under the machinations of Keynesian economists, Americans have been turned into a nation of share croppers living with the illusion that they are getting ahead with economic “freedom” just around the corner; as they fall deeper and deeper into debt with each planting and harvest no matter how bountiful.”— James Santagata
