    THE POLITICAL DANGER OF UNDOMESTICATED WOMEN OUTWEIGHS THEIR VALUE. WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO.

    1) Christianity(Aristocracy and Reason are Evil) in the ancient and Medieval world, Marxism-Socialism(Meritocracy is Evil) in the early 20th century, Postmodernism (There is no truth) in the mid-to-late twentieth century, and Political Correctness (Truth Suppression), were invented by men and spread primarily through the gossip of women. In other words, women are easy customers for comforting lies.

    2) All advancement in civilization – the vast majority of which has benefitted women far more so than men (especially today where men commit suicide in large numbers after fifty years of age) has required the incremental production of property and accountability, particularly in the institution of marriage, which limits a woman from exporting the cost of her impulsive need for reproduction and nesting and caring for children regardless of their merit, onto the rest of the community. (Mothers of serial killers are the prime example of women’s denial – they are usually the cause and rarely believe their children capable, nor admit that it is they who caused it.)

    3) It has been equally hard to civilize women because of their need for denial of truth, their use of gossip, shaming, rallying, and deceit, and their hyperconsumption whenever possible. We can punish men’s violence but it is very hard to punish women’s gossip, shaming, ridicule, rallying and deceit. In part because it is largely invisible to men.

    4) Even today, if not for women’s votes, hitler would never have come to power, Johnson’s disastrous Great Society would never have come to power and Kennedy would not have been elected, the financing of marxist/postmodern/feminist pseudosciences and the near total destruction of the social science would not have been possible – and our current invasion by the third world would not be possible.

    5) So it is very hard to argue that women are not, as was judged by most of history, an army of Pandoras constantly opening the box of horrors on this world, the chief horror of which is the increase in conflict among men. The solution to which was property, family, family economic responsibility, tribal legal accountability, and nationhood’s military accountability.

    6) How do we know this? The single source for the overwhelming majority of male violence is women. So much so that all else pales by comparison.

    7) Our success in domesticating men has not been equal in domesticating women. Primarily because men reason but are visibly dangerous, and women do not reason, but are insidiously dangerous.

    This is the lesson of history.

    THE THREE GOALS: NATURAL LAW, ARTIFICIAL WOMBS, SETTLING THE STARS.

    The most important innovation on behalf of white people and western civilization, is the artificial womb. By harvesting eggs and sperm, even without much genetic modification, we can make armies by selective breeding with or without the cooperation of women, and with or without the limitation of the few exceptional women, and with or without the rate and tolerance for births of exceptional women.

    So you might say the stars, and I will say the artificial womb. and I will venture that the artificial womb will get us to the stars faster than is otherwise possible. If for no other reason than we are no longer paying the high cost keeping human beings alive for much of the journey.

  • Observation is limited to reduce our costs. Memory is limited to reduce our cost

    Observation is limited to reduce our costs.

    Memory is limited to reduce our costs, improve our speed of recall, and maximize our storage.

    Reconstruction of experience is limited to that which is necessary for action.

    Reconstruction requires stimuli necessary to access memory – it’s fragmentary.

    Free association (imagination) is useful in searching for opportunities thereby reducing our costs.

    To say that the observed world is a fiction is very hard to agree with since we can sense and perceive pretty much the full range of the universe where actions and reactions are possible for man. It would be a wasted cost (evolutionary drag) for us to sense and perceive that which we cannot act upon.

    To say our values and judgements of that world are INCONSISTENT is evidenced by the effects of different drugs and circumstances on the interpretation of every phenomenon. To say they are false is something else it is hard to agree with. Since we readily reinterpret those perceptions when returning to normal state.

    To say that our MODELS of reality are questionable, is highly variable by individual, and that’s demonstrable in all walks of life. For some people, modeling is exceptional. To say that our imaginations are fantasy, that’s true. To say that some people’s models are but fantasy that’s true.

    To say ‘consciousness’ is an illusion is something I have to deny for the simple reason that I have a multi-decade experience with frequently losing consciousness under the right (not rare) conditions. And each stage of ‘awareness’ is relatively obvious. There is a base ‘you’ which may or may not be in the lower or mid-brain, that awakens slowly as more and more information is available to it as you return to consciousness by full use of your senses and memories, generating some semblance of a model of yourself in the world. Now, that base consciousness doesn’t do much more than wait and feel and react, but in my experience, it is definitely ‘me’ with my memories and current context, continually altering ‘me’ through various stages, which I notice are less happy and more skeptical as each stage begins to fully participate. I assume that ‘me’ is ‘womb me’. So for me, this isn’t a theory. it’s an experience I go through with painful frequency. (I have asthma and allergies and when coughing and changing body position causes me to faint if I don’t manage it. It’s called “Syncope” )

    Yeah. Well studied territory. Totally false.

    Reality? people search for novelty. So what we see at any given time is the market for novelty given the inventory of consumption of the individuals.

    I investigated the homosexuality thing, and the findings will surprise you. (Fascinating)

    it’s just possible to search for homosexual porn in some countries then use the search results to get access to regular porn through proxy servers.

    Pakistan for example (as many muslim countries) most commonly searches for homosexual porn. But the reason is not intuitive. 😉

    The measure of sexual interest is the individual porn sites and dating sites and this is pretty well understood territory, and every stereotype you can imagine turns out to be true.

    Just another example of the fact that ‘stereotypes are the most accurate measure in the social sciences”.

    So (a) as is usual, vox = fake news. (b) as usual, vox = pseudoscience.

    Um. Postmodern nonsense. The problem is, that the more power you have the more empirical you must be, and the less, and less empathy you must rely on. People do not put you in charge because you have the ‘trivial’ skill of empathy. The put you in charge because you have the ‘rare’ skill of insulating yourself from noise and limiting yourself to signal. We have known this even before brain imaging gave us the photos of it. Just as we have known that say, conservatives have more hypothalamic activity (fear, purity, disgust, loyalty) and progressives less. Just as we have known that men and women illustrate their preferences differently – feminine for aesthetic openness and masculine for idea-openness. In other words, feelz vs reals. Or in more evolutionary terms, tools vs consumption.

    The strangeness of these studies (and the method of identifying feminine or postmodern thought) is the freudian (vs Nietzschean) presumption of an ideal uniform monopoly (feminine) character, rather than hierarchical distributed market (masculine) character.

    I mean. you know. If it wasn’t for the marxists, feminists, and postmodernists we wouldn’t have lost a century in the pseudo-sciences. sigh.

    There used to be value for the professors although that has diminished with the financialization of the university mission – likewise it appears that the quality of teaching professors has declined by the measurement of research performance rather than student life performance.

    There is social value not accounted for in the material alone.

    There is a concentration of talent in university setting that does not exist outside of that setting and we learn through imitation of it and measurement of other environments by that standard.

    There is value in minimizing the number of inputs (distractions) – although we might argue that insulation from market forces produces worse consequences than minimization of inputs provide.

    Even if there is commodity value in the material, there is unsubstitutable value in tutoring – taking responsibility for the transition in state of each individual. There is very little if any value to administration.

    The relationship between Professors and students in the college system (a collection of professors offering their courses together on the open market).

    LIttle if anything is learned, retained, and practiced outside of the university setting (meaning universities primarily sort not train). There is very questionable measured value of a degree other than sorting and filtering (signaling).

    We could measure this by measuring first two decade performance. But the consequences for universities would be damning.

    The problem of the contemporary university is largely the conflation of vocational(craft), clerical (administrative), STEM (calculative), and religious(civic) services in one institution without variations in price, and the consequential redistribution of debt between those students.

    The conflation of student, research, and sport revenues at the expense of student debt only exacerbates this problem. So by and large the degree process has no empirical measurement other than filtering.

    If instead, universities had to carry student debt on behalf of the student, and could collect it only over 10 years as payroll deduction, and universities had to warranty their degrees just like other purveyors of goods and services, we would end the prior privileges we granted to universities as extensions of the church, and treat them as ordinary businesses (which is how they act) that produce a product that they must involuntarily warranty shall perform in the market.

    If that were the case, it is quite likely that the schools would re-parition, the costs of education would reflect lifetime returns for each discipline, and those people who pay the high cost of ‘university’ (calculative) degrees would return to statistical levels wherein only 10% of a normally distributed ethnically european population would enter university – because that is approximately the maximum percentage of the population that is capable of university level (calculative) work.

    Most importantly, the funding of marxist and postmodern propaganda produced by under sanction of the academy-as-replacment-for-church would be eliminated. etc. etc.

  • VERY CLOSE TO THE FINAL WORD ON THE LIMITS OF RELIGION AND THE COMPETITION BETWE

    VERY CLOSE TO THE FINAL WORD ON THE LIMITS OF RELIGION AND THE COMPETITION BETWEEN FEELS AND REALZ.

    The word “anthropomorphization” is an enlightenment term from the 1700’s that refers to the human psychological tendency to attribute human properties to non-human characters for the purpose of substituting human intent when causality is beyond the grasp of the speaker – or as a literary device to communicate general psychological intuitions through non-human characters through conflation with animal behaviors or extraordinary circumstances.

    This term was chosen to refer to the general tendency of humans to produce fantasy stories for use as wisdom literature in the absence of a literature of causation (science) throughout history. This fantasy wisdom literature is easily explainable as the product of evolutionary chance, human reason’s need for causal explanation (‘fear of vacuum’), and human imagination’s ability to perform substitution (permutation).

    Moreover, appealing to intuition requires little or no burden-of-reason, and the repeating narrative is the lowest cost means of training intuition available to human beings, and is available from childhood onward. Even better, narratives that train inexpensive and powerful intuition which can then serve as a substitute for expensive and error-prone reason that survive generations of application cause behaviors whose consequences are correspondent to complex reality despite the fact that it’s causes are non-correspodent to reality, thereby reducing the error of the individual and the group regardless of their individual abilities to reason. Unfortunately the cost of adaptation of such narrative knowledge, reinforced by networks of related and interdependent narratives, is extremely high in relation to the rate of change. So intuitionistic programming by such narratives declines in value with the rate of change in knowledge and circumstance. And many peoples have been degraded, defeated, or exterminated because they were unable to adapt to changes due to confrontation with Guns, Germs, Steel, accounting, literacy, contract, law, banking, mathematics, logic, history, and Science.

    The operationally descriptive term anthropomorphization accurately describes the deflation of the technique by which we produce imaginary experiences, the sedative and euphoric chemical rewards of those imaginary experiences that invoke our submission to the pack response, the frequency with which those chemical rewards are available due to the low cost of chemical rewards for imaginary experiences, the sedative and euphoric effect of those chemical rewards, and the value in social phenomenon of associating sedative and euphoric effects with otherwise stressful persistent problems of minds capable of reason in complex problems our reason cannot solve and therefore bring to rest.

    Furthermore, we are all conscious of our status, whether reproductive value, social value, economic(productie) value, and political value. To the point where the combination of neuroticism (worry), status value, and agency(ability to act to change state), in concert with our ability to temporarily fool (sedate, stimulate) ourselves through imaginary self-narration, can drive us to destructive behaviors as we desperately seek to preserve the sedative and euphoric values of these (false) narratives in the face of evidence to the contrary.

    The experiences provided by fantasy fiction wisdom literature, its use in training intuition as a discount on cost of reason, it’s use in sedation and euphoria as stress reduction, and the discount provided by non-rational, intertemporally tested, methods of decidability, and the value of such decidability in coordinating social groups of widely distributed ages, and widely distributed intellectual abilities, with widely distributed personality traits, and widely distributed circumstances, was the reason for its widespread success in increasing the number of people coordinating their actions by the same criterial, even if the consequences were maladaptive to the point where these networks due to their stability and interconnection were highly resistant to new knowledge, and in many cases outright forbid new knowledge leading to poverty conquest and extermination.

    One can experience the feelings of love, friendship, passion, touch color, smell, fear, and a host of combinations. One can experience drugs, theatre, mu And one an remember those experiences, and one can empathize with those experiences in others.

    One can understand the causes of those experiences independent of their experiences, just as one can ‘feel’ the experiences independent of an understanding of the causes.

    It is true that an understanding of causes limits the range of experiences. It is true that the value of experiences limits the conclusions we draw from the causes. But it is the competition between experience and causality, like the competition between imagination and reason, like the competition between literature and history, like the competition between reason and science, that prevents our development of addiction behavior and zealotry to defend it, and scientistic behavior and zealotry to defend it. And the method of decidability we can use for both limits is ‘truth’.

    For this reason we can separate good ‘religions’ from evil ‘religions’. And that line of demarcation is simple: (a) imagination rather than action, (b) deflation (competition) vs monopoly: fictionalism (conflation) rather than competition between true and wise, and advise and command, and history and myth. We can ‘rank’ better religions and worse religions by the same means.

    And so it is profoundly clarifying, to both know and Feel, such that we form a competition between knowing and feeling, if for no other reason than to prevent of harm. And specifically, to prevent the harm of the abrahamic deceits, which succeed by self induced drug addictions through the ritualistic production of endorphins.

    So there is a vast difference between between a monopoly of reason which burdens the less able and empowers the able, and a monopoly of feelings which empower the less able, and burden the able – and the whole civilization.

    The compromise position – the compatible position – between reason and feeling, is that of the use of action rituals, and public rituals, and public festivals, to provide the beneficial returns of mindfulness, the social returns of trust and calculability, and the political benefits of organizing a polity by the same strategy, traditions, norms, and laws.

    This is very close the the final word on limits of religion.

    (Now, you might or might notice that I restated your criticism on a point by point and nearly paragraph by paragraph basis. or you might not. But it will be very difficult to defeat this analysis. )

  • COMING CORRECTIONS, SHIFTS, AND SHOCKS There are corrections, shifts, and shocks

    COMING CORRECTIONS, SHIFTS, AND SHOCKS

    There are corrections, shifts, and shocks to choose from. A correction involves the overinvestment in an opportunity the value of which has peaked. A shift is a change in strategy, demographics, trade routes, or power structures that significantly disrupts the existing sustainable patterns of specialization and trade. A shock is a rapid and unexpected alteration in supply or demand, for which insufficient substitutes are available in the market, or which cause redirection of investments from opportunity, to maintenance, to defense, or to rescue.

    Corrections (business cycles), shifts (demographic cycles), and shocks (natural world, political world, vicissitudes and cycles ) are all, to some degree predictable existentially. Business cycles are historically testable, so are shifts, and so are shocks. But on time scales we cannot ‘time’. Yet all of us seek to maximize returns through ‘timing’. For reasons that it would take a book to cover.

    It certainly appears that we will see a coincidence of correction, shift and shock all at the same time on a global scale, which will likely be exacerbated by seizure of political and military and trade route opportunities given the invasion of advanced civilizations by vast underclasses. I have been predicting this to occur between 2020-2025 since 2004. I was right on timing of everything except china – but everyone else has been wrong on china too. The information is just to crappy to work from. So much so that I stopped following.

    The underlying cause of all economic and political and strategic change is demographic. Ergo, by 2025 a dramatic demographic shift will occur that will likely result in another world war of the military, political economic labor, class variety – or all of the above combined – unless we are very, very lucky. History is not friendly to such coincidences of cycles.

    I would say that the best thing to do is limit one’s ‘enforceable’ debt. That might include just limiting your debts and costs. That might include maximizing all bank debt and maximizing all physical property and stores. It might include just staying fit and armed. But I don’t think there is much defense from a coincidence of cycles of this magnitude other than home, family, and friends.

  • WHAT HISTORY TELLS ME ABOUT THE STATE OF PHYSICS My reading of intellectual hist

    WHAT HISTORY TELLS ME ABOUT THE STATE OF PHYSICS

    My reading of intellectual history suggests humans make the same mistakes over and over again, and the current paradigm in physics just radiates those mistakes.

    And I am pretty sure that confirms my central thesis: that the problem of advancement in science is primarily one of costs. And that the current problem in physics is a combination of anchoring, first principle, causal (dimensional) density, and cost of conducting the research necessary to run tests rather than mathematical models.

    I have seen nothing to counter most parsimonious explanation of the universe as a single medium, expressing a simple geometry, the different forces of which, are produced by different degrees of excitement (density), the apparent complexity of which is nothing more that overlapping field effects, and that the general problem of comprehension is reducible to the measurement of a subset of states ( fields, waves, particles) rather than merely densities). In other words, our attempts at deflation are causing categorical analysis that obscures the underlying symmetry.

    That is not a statement about the universe. It is a statement only of observations of the categories of human error in the past, and by analysis of those errors we can look for the solution. Not in our findings, but our errors.

    Meaning that in general, we have a serious problem increasing the number of dimensions we can comprehend, and the tools necessary for their comprehension. A problem which historically is solved by advances in mathematics. The applied elsewhere – endlessly for generations.

    In other words I don’t need to understand much about physics to make that statement. I just need to understand that all similar problems in history follow a similar pattern.

    At present the study of intermediary phenomenon (advanced mathematics) and operational patterns (computer science) appears to be providing us with slow but incremental progress in the hope of identifying patterns of causal relations that limit the variation in high causal density (high numbers of dimensions).

    So I suspect that the possibility is out there. And I suspect the central problem is not awarding prizes for the solutions to this category of problem and therefore ending the incentives to reinforce the paradigm.
