    (Humor.) Re: “Mansplaining and Womansplaining”

    Yeah. I’m a little done with womansplaining as well.

    Mansplaining is merely useless – it won’t accomplish anything even if it should. Womansplaining is useless and false – but often succeeds even though it shouldn’t. 😉

    Womansplaining:”There is no bell curve. Everyone is equal. Everyone has equal potential. And everyone that’s unsuccessful is inhibited by others’ bias or malice.”

    In other words, “I want my dead weight offspring to have a chance at achieving devolutionary and undeserving equality with his or her genetic superiors.”

    Short term, female, empathetic, feels.

    Mansplaining:”There is always a bell curve – and a third of people are dead weight, and its genetic, and women decide who they mate with – so it’s their fault.”

    In other words, “I want my tribe to be free of dead weight offspring so we have a chance at achieving at defeating competing tribes who seek to defeat our genes.”

    Long term, male, analytic, reals.

    That’s the net of it.

    Understand the speaker’s bias, and you understand his brain structure and you understand his reproductive strategy – and that none of that is under his cognitive control and everything he (or she) says is just the persona-puppet following instructions of one’s genes.

    Really. That’s the entirety of the left (Female cognitive bias) right (male cognitive bias)

  • THOUGHTS ON PETERSON, WILBER, AND MORE by Michael Churchill, with CurtD Regardin

    THOUGHTS ON PETERSON, WILBER, AND MORE

    by Michael Churchill, with CurtD

    Regarding Jordan Peterson and Ken Wilber:

    Wilber’s life arc is quite interesting and perhaps can provide a roadmap for Peterson post-nervous breakdown.

    Wilber was a bit of a mentor to Peterson and both men worked on the same problem: How to distinguish between internal truth and external truth:

    * Internal truth is what I feel to be true (including the realm of feelings themselves).

    * External truth is what survives falsification in real-world tests.

    Both men came to realize that the the strategy of the rank-and-file left is to deliberately conflate internal feelings and externally verifiable fact. (Hence the growth of the mantra “Well that’s my truth.”)

    When Wilber figured this out, he did the honorable thing and dropped out of the public eye for 5-10 years. Recall that Wilber was almost the Peterson of the ’90s: He started out a darling of the Oprah/Clinton set and was teed up to become a huge star. But two things happened: His wife got sick and his work started to lead him in disturbing, anti-left directions. So he dropped out of the spotlight.

    When he got back to work, Wilber embraced the implications of his own model and moved rightward. He lost his fey mannerisms and embraced the bearing of the college football player he had once been.

    My view is that Peterson’s nervous breakdown was caused by his failure to live up to his own extremely high standards. The man who won every debate was recently CRUSHED in a debate on his own website centering on a critical aspect of his worldview: That we are the drivers of our own destiny and group evolutionary strategy is not a relevant player in the game. (Or, more specifically, Peterson was arguing that there is no group who acts on an evolutionary strategy to deliberately undermine western civilization.)

    Peterson collapsed because he couldn’t escape the implications of this problem: He either had to admit defeat on this point and risk losing his empire, or accept defeat and ALSO risk losing his empire.

    Thus it seems the proper path for Peterson is to do what Wilber did. Drop out for five years. Recover. Re-work the model to fix its failures and keep what is good. Do not try to please the masters, nor necessarily challenge the masters in public if that doesn’t feel appealing.

    That is my $0.02 on the matter.

    by Eric Danelaw:

    This is a great narrative. Really has me thinking….

    I wonder if you could weave campbell in there – as you suggested, as someone who didn’t have those problems.

    I’d throw in that the problem is jung-christianity where most of us use cognitive science and behavioral economics today. These fantasy literary worlds are disconnected from reality. He uses them because in his practice he can use suggestion rather than direct exposition to ‘seduce’ people to circumvent their natural resistance to correction by others. This is the entire value of suggestive experience (religion, theology, myth, parable, literature, history – suspension of disbelief opens us to suggestion by blame avoidance.)

    As for causality I’ll take peterson’s meteoric rise, continuous exposure, workload, wife’s cancer, and susceptibility to medicine as the principle cause – but I’ll agree with your consequence.

    Peterson wasn’t in a position where he could go thru a withdrawal that long in that condition without inflicting suffering on his family – already suffering from his wife’s cancer. And he couldn’t maintain public appearances, and he put his new found income stream at risk. *And he had nowhere safe to go and recover*.

    So that’s an awful lot sitting on your shoulders for anyone.

    But, what I got out of your post was … well, that it hadn’t occurred to me that i have no psychological dream world to run to so I have no psychological dream world to fail me.

    And that as such the stoics (mindfulness) and epicureans (live well), were simply right all along.

    And until you wrote this post I didn’t think that the opposite of these ideological and theological frames might be true: that they don’t provide comfort they provide sedation, so that the failure of the dream world is worse than the cost of learning mindfulness.

    by Michael Churchill

    Wow that is an awesome read. The moral of Peterson’s collapse is that building your house on a dreamworld — no matter how appealing and helpful in the short term — risks devastating consequences when it collapses.

    This raises the question of whether Peterson FELT he was building a house of cards as he was going along. It doesn’t seem that way to me. I watched many hours of his lectures before I ever came to your critique of him and I thought his work was pretty solid. Like his analysis of Pinnochio. That was good stuff. And his one-man war against the speech codes in Canada was inspired.

    Peterson’s only a few years older than me, so very likely he also grew up surrounded by the Joseph Campbell paradigm (follow your bliss etc). I think most people who came of age in the late 70s and early 80s walk around with a Nietzche/Pirsig/Camus/Campbell paradigm in their heads!

    And he had a professional career fully invested in the literary model. (Plus he is quite clearly a touchy/feely literary type.)

    by CurtD

    I never thought of it before but the Nietzsche/Camus/Campbell thing was definitely influential.

  • GOING INTO DEPTH ON TRIFUNCTIONALISM VS COMPETING CIVILIZATIONS In the Proto-Ind

    GOING INTO DEPTH ON TRIFUNCTIONALISM VS COMPETING CIVILIZATIONS

    In the Proto-Indo-European mythology, each social group had its own god or family of gods to represent it and the function of the god or gods matched the function of the group.

    There are only three possible means of coercion (weapons of influence) available to humans, and we have developed genetic abilities, moral intuitions, and cultural institutions to reflect them:

    1) The Established Male: Defense/Force

    2) The Ascendent Male: Trade/Deprivation

    3) The Female: Advocacy/Undermining

    We have three sets of faculties

    1) The Physical and Performative : Science and evidence

    2) The Verbal and Rational : Reason and logic

    3) The Emotional and Intuitive: instincts and incentives

    There are also three methods of Fictionalisms (falsehoods)

    1) Override Physical Intuition Magic to Pseudoscience

    2) Override Verbal Intuition: Sophistry to Philosophy

    3) Override Emotional Intuition: Occult to Theology

    This specialization has led to three classes:

    1) Those who Fight (and judge) > Force/Defense

    2) Those who Pray (an teach) > Undermining/Advocacy

    3) Those who Produce (work) > Trade/Deprivation

    and

    4) … Slaves (farm and household labor)

    and

    5) … Animals (farm labor and foodstuffs)

    This pattern remains the same throughout western history until the possibility of the organization of complex production, distribution and trade, expands the influence of the middle class (elites) from those who produce, making them equal to those who fight and pray.

    The reason is simple, because of the division of labor between the material and spiritual elites, there was never the necessity for either to claim authority over the other. The result then was that during the age of transformation – the beginning of our religious traditions – the west developed a market of philosophy rather than a monopoly theology. it wasn’t until the intentional destruction of the western roman empire and the extermination of western thought by the jews christians and then muslims that we lost our philosophy to the semitic attempt at replicating supernatural equalitarian monopoly in Western tripartism and its markets.

    Semitic monotheism was not successful in europe because it was unable to displace the military aristocracy and instead evolved into a corrupt wing for second tier sons of wealthy families who could obtain politial position. By the end of the early middle ages the church was so corrupt that the monasteries took over – hence poverty – as a means of suppressing the parasitism of the church.

    So our aristocracy and our common law remained and the catholic church was an usuccessful competitor to the traditional european group strategy, and served only as administrative wing of the aristocracy and nobility.

    And then when Aristotle was restored to Europe, the legal profession advocated empiricism and once literacy returned then our ancient traditions were again expressed in wave after wave of reformation, resulting in the english constitution on one end, the protestant reformation, and the french attempt at preserving that feminine authoritarianism of the church first by killing the middle class – the protestants – and then by killing the aristocracy, and the by killing the church – all the most backward institutions in europe and instead of a protestant reformation and a middle class, napoleon’s conquest sought to achieve by arms what the church failed to do, and destroy the aristocratic heart of europe: the holy roman empire of the german states, that had governed the majority of europe from the 800’s onward – and defended europe against the dangers (hordes) of the east.

    The germans unified into a modern state in order to prevent yet another french conquest, and the french conspired with the rest of the world to keep german expansion in check – to continue the long running attempt by France to restore roman authoritarian order over Europe under the pretense of french enlightened view of man. But France’s enlightenment was a reaction AGAINST – a counter -revolution against – the british restoration of the european tradition of our Natural law, Sovereignty, and aristocracy and the meritocratic rather than elite government that results from meritocracy.

    Germany was suppressed and ‘de-prussianized’ by design by france’s dictate, and american self demagoguery not by anglo demand.

    So, today, because of increases in the complexity of production we have:

    1) Those who Fight: Military and

    … Judiciary (rules, order)

    2) Those who Pray: Priesthood(replaced), and

    … Politicians / Academy / Media / Entertainment

    3) Those who Produce: Finance and Entrepreneurs, and

    … Craftsmen, Engineers, Professionals, and Scientists

    and

    4)… “Slaves”: Labor, Service Labor,

    and

    5) … “Animals”: Machines

    And in our gods we still have:

    1) Fight: The Heroes of History and

    … Aristotle and the Law (rules, order)

    2) Pray: The Philosophers (and theologians – what is left of them)

    … and Writers and Artists (Verbal)

    3) Produce: The Economic Scientists, and Physical Scientists,

    … the Artisans (Material)

    and

    4) … Slaves: The Liars: pseudoscientists sophists and supernaturalists

    and

    5) … Machines: The Engineers

    And we see Civilizational Differences in Strategy:

    1) The West (Tri-Hierarchy: Fight, Pray, Produce) Markets in everything. We use Extend tolerance as long as we can in favor of developing markets. Solve Problems Quickly when they arise so that they do not escalate beyond our ability to correct them

    2) The Steppe (Russian) tries to balance the European tri-functionalism, with the Chinese mono-hierarchy, in an attempt to produce (unique) byzantine durability, and this balance has served them. And the west has not yet helped them. And this is yet another of our real crimes vs the false crimes of slavery and colonialism we have been criticized for.

    3) The Chinese use Mono-Hierarchy: Bureaucratic familial hierarchy – by contrast use ‘reasonableness’ rather than reason proper. They use Delay, Deceive, and Accumulate power sufficient that they cannot be fought.

    4) The Hindus use Caste Hierarchy: a “soft” military hierarchy – by contrast use myth and wisdom literature. They use their peninsular isolation, vast population, and lack of formal organization to make capture of rule possible but conquest impossible – only islam (the cancer) has been effective.

    5) The Semites(Equalitarian families) by contrast use monopoly conflation of law, history, mythology. The use social cultural institutional and civilizational undermining from the bottom up, and continuous raiding to destroy the economy and exhaust the military, as a means of competition. They then destroy knowledge arts and letters, and use dysgenic reproduction to destroy the gene pool.

    I solve for transcendence: Adaptability and rapid evolution by Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Truth, Heroism, Adversarialism, and Markets in Everything, at the cost of the suppression of the production of the underclasses, so that proceeds can be devoted to the production of commons and the high returns therefrom. The only counter-claim is devolution – anti-evolution. This means it is always and everywhere decidable whether a claimed good is such.

    The west was not first, but fastest.

    And because fastest best.

    And best because of commons.

    That is what I seek to restore.

    In the unlikely event that the local law enforcement fails to act on the same, they also will forfeit their positions immediately and can no longer serve in any capacity in the government for their lifetime as well.

    Should the above occur, then any local Constitutional Militia shall have the right and duty, along with full law enforcement authority, including the use of deadly force, to remove the guilty parties and restore order.

  • CRITICIZING AND REFORMING “LOGOS” I disagree with every use of Logos I’ve ever s

    CRITICIZING AND REFORMING “LOGOS”

    I disagree with every use of Logos I’ve ever seen.

    As far as I know it’s original use meant ‘order identifiable and explicable through reason’. Which doesn’t tell us anything, unless we have some claim on the truth or falsehood of it.

    Instead, civilizations evolve strategies (group competitive strategies), and persist them through metaphysical (unstated, presumed, unconscious) premises(laws of nature), and paradigms (plots), advanced by archetypes (characters) that anthropomorphize (mirror and amplify psychological or behavioral traits), which recursively reinforce the group strategy as if it is a law of nature.

    For this reason I argue that metaphysics as a discipline ‘doesn’t exist’ so to speak and that there is only one testifiable answer to existence (realism, naturalism, operationalism, empiricism, rational choice, reciprocity, transcendence) and that all else is fiction(parable, myth, literature) or fictionalism (theology, sophistry, pseudoscience) that either mirrors or does not mirror that most parsimonious testimony and strategy.

    Man must act. To act he must remember. With memory he must predict futures to choose from to act upon. To choose from those futures he must reason. To continuously improve his choices continuously reducing costs, he must improve his reason. To reason at any scale other than the trivial requires forms of categorizing, organizing, predicting, and calculating. Language allows us to calculate increasing complexity. Cooperation lets us produce disproportionate returns on our actions. Cooperation on increasingly complex production requires collective ends within which to discover cooperative means. Narratives allow us to calculate collective means of cooperation within complex social groups. Complex social groups using the same narratives make the majority of tie-breaking decisions in favor of the group strategy. It is the countless decisions we make in favor of the group strategy when it costs little or nothing to do so, or at least the not-prohibitive to do so, that produce our group strategy more than does any organized and intentional production of commons.

    So I don’t use “logos” because of it’s nonsense connotations. Instead I create an operational description of the world and therefore continue my war on nonsense terms from history that were invented to wow nonsensical ignorant people into the pretense that some presumed good was in fact true as well as presumed good.

    See what I did there?

    Book. From Blog. “Whistleblower”

    Woman is on ride-sharing site with fellow employees. Guy propositions her. She rejects it. This is somehow ‘sexual harassment’ since according to women, only women should initiate seduction, because they are not adult enough to reject it. She reports it to HR. HR says ‘it’s his first offense, he’s a high performer (and you are not) so either stay on his team and deal with it, or move to another team’. This is the correct solution to the problem when dealing with a high performer and a low performer. You move the lower performer. Instead she plays victim, does not act in the company interest, and acts instead in her own interest, and rallies other women to HR with her. HR says it *is* his first offense because it’s the first offense we have record of. And we have more people complaining about YOU. Women feels she is self righteously due, so continues, writes blog, and undermines company’s competitive male culture of ‘stepping on toes to do what’s right’. This is why it is important to (a) have recruiting, benefits, payroll, and legal departments but NOT HR departments who are universally agents of undermining organizations by politicking – and force people to legal recourse outside the business. (b) this is why high performing companies should be very cautious about hiring women until the naturally destructive nature of women can be tolerated by scale. Sexual harassment is an obvious thing. Unwanted advancement is not sexual harassment. It’s just human. Why don’t we teach women how to reject men, and that men must respect it and not retaliate when rejected – rather than all these layers of deceit and destruction.
