Oct 13, 2019, 12:00 PM FB censored the post where an Arabic Speaker asked me to explain how a group with a lower average IQ could achieve european standards of living. I explained that it is not an IQ problem but a population demographic problem. And in fact, with very rare exceptions, this is in general, the rule for all human groups. The difference between groups is almost entirely the product of the possibility of reproduction by the lower classes. If it’s possible the problem will be worse, if it’s harder it will be better. This is just the boring science of why climate and farming together put so much pressure on developing intelligence and Conscientiousness. It didn’t make people smarter, it lowered the number of people that could survive farming and winters. In other words, different groups are not better or worse, but the sizes of the classes in different groups create economic and political difficulties for some, and eliminate difficulties for others. This is why middle and upper classes the world over get along just fine, but the lower middle, working, and underclasses cause conflicts with each other. Despite my attempt to provide a rebuttal to counter hate speech, someone reported the post, and facebook censored it. I agreed with the decision in order to prevent conflict. This is why I am careful about who I allow in my friends list – it’s not the people that friend me that are the problem, it’s the people in YOUR friends list. If you want the answer to the question in Arabic see our web site: propertarianism.com/blog “The Problem Isn’t Race It’s Demographics”.

Disambiguation of Causality in Religiosity
Oct 14, 2019, 9:07 AM Three axis of Causality in Religion vs Science. 1) Intelligence, 2) Empathizing vs Systematizing. 3) Degree of familial indoctrination in Religion vs Science. So The demarcation isn’t just IQ, but IQ and the Competition between Feminine Feeling vs Masculine Thinking. I was raised very catholic it simply ‘lost’ the battle just like religion won the battle for others – and everyone else somewhere in between. Yet among they thought leaders here, most of us have a religious background and far more people than you’d think have studied religion, or considered a religious career. So I don’t see a difference in our objectives, just means of achieving the masculine or feminine distribution. And the Pagan is definitely masculine – extremely and unapologetically, and some of us ‘feel’ the masculine not the feminine. Conversely Atheism is definitely a feminine cognitive expression. So as in nearly all our differences in understanding of the world, the question of religiosity is largely genetic and less so environmental, and the genetic difference is explicable as differences in one of the only substantial variables in the human brain: gender dimorphism. — Working On This — (Female) Reactionary Atheism (preference, monopoly) -v- Resistant Agnosticism (truth, markets) (Male)

The Economics of Female Mate Selection
Oct 14, 2019, 10:12 AM Women voluntarily pair with men, (a) to defend against involuntary pairing with other men; (b)to gain access to resource and defense, (c) status (market value) largely among women, (d) to capture genes, attention and resources and keep them away from other women, (e) mates will sacrifice more than all other combined except mothers for children (ie: friendship), (f) cooperation is disproportionately more productive than all other individual actions. This produces the emotional reaction of friendship: ready access to attention and care. Our emotions evolved to inform us that these are the optimum actions. Marriage is only an optimum under property. As we can see reversing in modernity. Successful people with assets stay together. Poor without them far less so. I can explain that also but it’s not very ‘nice’.

However, if combined with Baron Cohen’s books on autism and gender differences in brain you will sort of have the via positiva and via negativa understanding.
