  • How Can We Resolve The Conflict Of Western Ideology (the Compulsion To Success) And Eastern Ideology (playing It Safe)?

    There is no conflict. They are two different strategies. The eastern model finds ‘honor’ in hierarchy and ‘not making waves’ with the hierarchy, while the western strategy finds ‘heroism’ in risk and achievement in disrupting the hierarchy.

    The world needs room for safe people and adventureous people.

    The problem is aventure is more prosperous than safety and so safe people want the advantages of living under the rewards of adventure, AND the safety of hierarchy.

    SO it’s the attempt to reconcile these that’s the problem.

    We dont want to reconcile them. MOVE TO WHERE YOU ARE SATISFIED BY THE ORDER.

    (It bothers me when someone interrupts me when I’m concentrating.

    It bothers me more when I’m writing.

    It bothers me far more when I’m programming.

    Now, if the house is burning down.

    Or someone is injured.

    You know, that’s an exception.

    But – wth – why do you think it’s ok?

    And the fact that I or anyone else works all the time doesn’t mean anything other than … you don’t.)

  • Data’s been pretty consistent. Family likelihood, Cause is in utero. Very likely

    Data’s been pretty consistent. Family likelihood, Cause is in utero. Very likely in third week. Possible cause is mother’s development immune related reaction to testosterone from prior births.

    Meta-analysis: The fraternal birth order effect is real: More older brothers → greater chance of same-sex sexual orientation in men (even when they’re reared apart)

    A biological but non-genetic contributor to same-sex sexual orientation
