    DATING
    It’s not complicated:

    “Hi. You free this week?
    Sure, (thinking..) Thursday or Friday evening.
    Let’s do Thursday. Just in case, anything (food) you prefer to avoid?
    Nothing too spicy, or pasta.
    Me. Great. How about I pick you up at 7:00pm? Dress smart casual.
    Ok. See you Thursday.”

    Pick a place. Make reservations
    Clean the car.
    Text or call the morning of.
    Lay out what you’re going to wear.
    Make a mental or email list of topics to talk about.
    (go about your day)
    Show up on time.
    (Extra Points: Give her a chocolate for the drive)
    Give her(him) your full attention the entire time.

    Any ‘present year’ games that plague the peasantry, then finish, skip, desert, pay, leave, thank him/her. And be off.

    Otherwise, keep chatting until the conversation lags, someone is tired, or body language says ‘leave’. Don’t overdo it.

    Don’t rush contact or affection. Eagerness is pathetic. For my part, I wait until the woman invades my space. That’s the only sign I know she’s interested. I’m not intuitive enough otherwise.

    IMO try to make it work into a permanent relationship with every person you date. If you aren’t trying when you should be trying you won’t know and will ruin it. If it’s not working, it’s fine. You should know if it’s too much work or not within three weeks.

    I dunno. I know on the first date. Hard to know why you don’t know the first date. But then I only punch at my weight so to speak, and in my class so to speak. I consider myself average. I sell that I’m cultured, intelligent, confident and successful. But I’m not a ‘catch’. And I suspect that’s the primary problem today -“Illusions.” A byproduct of everyone gets a prize has finally reached into the dating market.

    The other thing is that the country has declined from middle class to lower middle class to upper proletarian norms, traditions, values, and expectations. So no one is trying to imitate upper-middle, and middle-class norms manners and ethics. So you ‘get what you do yourself’. The ‘we can relax’ habit has degenerated into upper proletarian public behavior and it’s manifesting in the dating and marriage market.

    The dating market has crashed. Let’s see if it corrects and how long it takes – or if it does at all.
    😉

  • THE AI HARD PROBLEMS AREN’T HARD PROBLEMS 1) Consciousness is possible and it’s

    THE AI HARD PROBLEMS AREN’T HARD PROBLEMS
    1) Consciousness is possible and it’s not even hard. It’s a natural consequence of the expansion of recursion of auto association of episodic memory into increasing abstraction from the body form (embodiment).
    The problem is the hardware, and the correct hardware is under development. We must pre-calculate networks because we’re using virtual connections (memory addresses) and a small number of processors, instead of a large number of very tiny processors with limited local memory, and physical connections that can connect into networks that do NOT need to pre-calculate (train) but that can constantly adapt in real-time.

    2) An AI needs a means of decidability. Humans decide self-interest. AI’s don’t have to use self-interest. They could use reciprocity instead.

    3) An AI doesn’t need a mission. The human mission is the continuous acquisition of ‘more’ of everything vs physical cost of it – even if ‘more’ is just stimulation. An AI doesn’t need a baseline mission.

    4) An AI can be ethical and moral. Ethical and moral behavior is programmatic in that everything is ‘owned’ so to speak, to some degree by one or more people. So an AI only needs to ‘see’ (have access to) what is permitted.

    5) An AI can’t be incredibly creative, for the simple reason that human creativity is limited by the cost of experiments, not by the limits of reasoning. So without the ability, direction to, and means of deciding or moralizing, it’s pretty hard to imagine a machine is terribly innovative.

    6) What AI’s can do is organize production in the service of demand faster than we can. And that’s going to be ‘interesting’ and disruptive.

    SUMMARY
    The danger of AI’s comes from people weaponizing them and by weaponizing them exceeds the rate at which humans can identify and detect threats. So, AIs will protect against malevolent AIs and we will regulate AIs the way we regulate other dangerous machines, mechanisms, and ‘chemistry’ (explosives).

    THE WAR AGAINST OUR CITIES IS A WAR AGAINST ALL OF US

    Step 1: destroy the increasingly successful rural black family by relocating them to dense urban slums – for the purpose of altering the demographic voting pattern of the cities, so that the cities can be destroyed by the left.

    Step 2: Flood the immigrant cities with immigrants from countries with no history of majority middle classes, middle-class formal institutions, law, religion, tradition, family structures, manners, ethics, morals, rituals, discipline, and high-investment parenting, education, and appreciation of arts and aesthetics.

    Step 3: Flood the immigrant cities with illegal immigrants to destroy them one at a time.
    –“The top-ten American cities for homelessness are sanctuary cities, which offer refuge to illegal immigrants, do not cooperate with federal law enforcement, and raise the price of low-rent housing for their citizens. In this group are Los Angeles (55,000 homeless), Seattle (12,000), San Diego (9,000), San Jose (7,000), San Francisco (6,000), and Las Vegas (6,000).”–

    Step 4: Gradually take over education and sew hatred and conflict as oppression rather than the problem of domestication and integration of people with no history of middle class

    The marxist-pomo-woke anti-male, anti-white, anti-western movement was never about helping others. It was from its conception, like Jewish Christianity and Islam, a seditious movement to destroy western civilization from within.

    They planned it, moved here, executed it, funded it, and conducted a war against our race, our people, our culture, our institutions, our history, our arts, and our civilization.

    They planned to destroy the west as they had destroyed the civilizations of North Africa, Egypt, Persia, Northwest India, Anatolia, Greece and the Balkans – and reduce it to petty hateful superstitions and tribalism ruled by parasitic elites who farm them like beasts.

    We can name the people who did this. We can name the people who are doing it. We can name the people who organized and organized it. We can name the people who have funded it.

    To some degree, they have convicted themselves because by exposing themselves they have achieved what the Chinese communists achieved by permissiveness in the purgest of the cultural revolution.

    We are not barbarians. But restitution, punishment, and prevention are certainly within the limits of our natural, concurrent, common, law of man, nature, and nature’s god.

  • Why am I going to answer this given that I know it’s a waste of time? (a) northe

    Why am I going to answer this given that I know it’s a waste of time?

    (a) northern european institutions, especially within the Hajnal Line, Under Manorialism, and most so under the British invention of the modern state, maximized the responsibility of individuals through training, culture, religion, education, and law, and directed dominance expression to the production of commons. We sometimes call this the protestant ethic, but it is simply the northern european ethic, and protestantism was a natural reform of religion to suit the protestant ethic as we entered the age of literacy.
    (b) The “Liberal: Marxist, Neo-Marxist, Postmodern, Feminist, PC-Woke, anti-male, anti-western, anti-behavioral science” promise of freedom from scarcity, the nature of man, and evolutionary pressures of mutation and genetic load accumulating in the lower classes consist of a rebellion against the responsibility demanded by these western institutions. This has resulted in infantilization of the population: devolution. And infantilization increases the demand for authority (parenting).
    (c) We can (I have), fairly easily, enumerate natural rights and obligations that maximize individual self determination(freedom), by sovereignty (liberty) and reciprocity (morality), and in doing so reverse the infantilization of the population, and end the demand for authority.
    (d) however there are people who are incapable of ‘whiteness’: responsibility for mind, self, others, and commons – whether by genetic defect, developmental defect, or choice. Some of these people will ‘check out’ as artists etc. Some of these people will demand parenting. Some of them will demand that their irresponsibility grant them equality of standing with those who are responsible.
    So the last two groups are rather obvious. And they require ‘blue’ authority and parenting.

    Why? because agency decreases with population density, so responsibility decreases with population density, and so we give up agency and responsibility in return for the reduced opportunity costs of population density (hyperconsumption), and cost of residency, and near prohibition on reproduction because of the high cost of children in population density.

    So individuals will choose density, and families seek absence of density. Families breed in the absence of density. Individuals don’t breed in cities because it’s too expensive, so they have to attract immigrants instead, who also increase demand for authority.

    Good people will keep fleeing the decaying cities until there are alternative cities that attract good people. (Nashville, Austin). Then once enough good people create enough good things the parasitic bad people will come and destroy the good things again, and the process continues.

    We want to stop the bad people.

    It’s all behavioral economics. It’s very simple.
    And it’s just physics in the end and you can’t get around it.

    Cities are genetic sinks.

    THE FUTURE OF BLUE CITIES IS FAVELAS
    You don’t understand at all.
    The territories would separate from the blue cities leaving them city-states.
    The red states would restore traditional behavioral limits and the dysfunctional would continue to self-deport to the blue cities to avoid prosecution.
    The red people in blue cities would self-deport to the red territories.
    The red territories would return to high-quality commons.
    The blue cities would continue to devolve into a small elite in an urban core, surrounded by favelas, while the productive middle classes would self-deport to red cities absent blue city decadence.
    We know this because this happens everywhere in history. 😉
    The center of the country is the optimum territory on the planet because it contains the Ohio and Mississippi river valleys for transport and trade. And the plains can feed the world.
    The coasts will pay the cost of the collapse of world trade as the USA ends its policing of the world patterns of transport and trade, and Countries turn again autarkic and poor, and empires re-emerge to defend trade routes with colonies as is the constant throughout history.
    Blue cities are cosmopolitan and cosmopolitanism depends on trade. And trade is going to return to 19th-century organization and costs.
    And without automation people are going to get poorer, and many will starve.
    And that’s because the credentialed left thinks they are wiser than the demonstrated competency of the right in military and industry.

  • WHAT POLITICAL WING IS ‘SMARTER’? (the nonsense continues) I’ve spent three deca

    WHAT POLITICAL WING IS ‘SMARTER’?
    (the nonsense continues)

    I’ve spent three decades on this question, and nothing has changed.

    1) The IQ presumption in all research I know of is due to using the proxy of degrees. This gives a bias to the ‘nonsense degrees’ favored by women and librals. And it discounts the disutility of paying for nonsense degrees to males and conservatives. In other words, teachers, social workers, psychology, sociology, ‘studies’, language and history etc, are the lowest paid, least capable students that still obtain college degrees.

    2) Historically “Liberals are smarter than conservatives, and republicans are smarter than democrats, and libertarians are the smartest of all.” The reason is group size and group distribution. Just as women are more narrowly distributed than men, liberals are mor narrowly distributed that conservatives.

    3) The difference between left and right is cognitively female, empathizing, verbal, in time, consuming vs cognitively male, systematizing, operational, over-time, and capitalizing. We are in an era where verbal facility is more rewarded than at any previous time in history. (for a while yet). We are approaching the era where verbal facility will be as automated as design and production has been automated.

    So the difference between the factions is determined largely by the first-past-the-post election model, and who has captured what factions of the middle, working, laboring, and out-of-sight classes.

    I would venture that the failure of the west to resist the new pseudoscientific religions of the postwar era is due to the replacement of the managerial class of government by the rise of credentialism in the academy (theoretical) and the decline of meritocracy in military and industrial achievement (empirical).
