    Auron;
    I’ve gone from being a libertarian, and forgiving a few eccentricities to debunking their middle class marxism and despising them.

    In the midst of this much causal density, combined with my admitted weakness at judging the rates of change in the population (moving of overton windows) I can’t really imagine a good time frame. I can only say that over the medium term it’s simply got to happen.

    I am afraid I don’t even understand this criticism.
    (a) it could be you do not grasp how little individuals matter and instead how much circumstances promote individuals into power. This is one of the most common mistakes in historical analysis.
    (b) It could be you are trying to make some point about organizing violence. If so I don’t understand what point. It’s certainly not that we faiil to address it. IN fact most of my presentation last fall in Texas explained it in detail.

    So I’m sort of lost here.

    Very hard to predict. Most likely scenario is devolution of powers to the states and gradual balkanization followed over the long term by some sort of recentralization. There is too much utility in the US Federal govt over this span of territory allowing this much of a military and this much of an economy. I expect both europe and USA to head toward the same direction: federal for defense, regional for culture and trade, local for variation in culture and trade. The principle problem is culture and trade, most of the time dispute resolution whether internal (court) or external (war) is better at scale.

  • Joshua, I’ve worked on it. And they’re mutually refinforcing. The simple version

    Joshua,
    I’ve worked on it. And they’re mutually refinforcing. The simple version is that men are more internally regulated (environmental adaptability) and women more externally regulated (social conformity) and the evolutionary reasons for this are somewhat obvious.

    Next men systematize over time and women empathize within time. This means men predict narrow criteria (nature) over time and women predict wide criteria (people) in time.

    So absent external regulation the combination of female neuroticism and incapacity for systemic prediction – or perhaps oversensitivity to conflict prediction in time simple pushes women into amplifying their neuroses (negative thoughts).

    At least that’s the simple version of it.

    “Inside every grown woman is a scared little girl” is an old dictum that reemerges every few decades.

    Curious. Why would it matter who said it? 😉

    FYI: It’s a paraphrase of a russian intellectual explaining how the west doesn’t understand russia – and russia can’t comprehend the west: they have no experience with trust just as we have too little experience with other civilizations’ low trust.
    For Russia it’s a legacy of not only their own communists and the import of jewish pilpul and critique by them for propaganda, but their boyars before them, and the mongols before them.
    Worse they were all effectively slaves (Serfs) and only ‘free’ for a few decades between serfdom and communism. So they have no experience with the rise of middle classes which is the origin of scaling trust from the familial or tribal to the general political (society, market).
    When I travel through Russia I have fun asking the question: “If one person tells a lie to another, who is at fault – the liar or the believer of the lie.” In most of the world it’s the liar. In russia it’s the believer of the lie. This little experiment tells you a great deal about russian civilization.
    It also tells you why they think we are deceptive rather than naive and hypermoral. Our unconscious trust informs everything we do. So, you know, hence why our ‘tolerance’ has been suicidal. Because we expect the best of one another (trust) we assume the best of others. Yet we are, other than the japanese, the only high trust civilization. Even then it applies almost entirely to germanic europe.
    Cheers

    Sorry man. Unless it’s painfully obvious, sarcastic humor is oft indistinguishable from contemporary mass idiocy. ;).

    Science has proven the opposite. Don’t lie. Even if you like out of ignorance and incompetence. Rule of thumb is that the average 14 year old boy can defeat mature professional female athletes.

    Though I think you misunderstand: “Disambiguation by operationalization, serialization, and adversarialism” – it means we make definitions unambiguous and non overlapping so that they are ‘deflationary’ (non inflationary and closed to ambiguity).

    This is part of ensuring that when we speak we are doing so commensurably because our terms are commensurable. And it defends against most sophistry by substitution, conflation, and inflation.

    To test truth we test the testifiability of the ten or so dimensions humans can possibly testify to. So between the unambiguousness of terms, the truth test, the reciprocity test, and the first principles exposed by the ternary logic of evolutionary computation, we can pretty much test every statement for whether it’s a possible truth claim – and better – we can determine the motive to deceive if one claims the unjustifiable as true.
