Like a blue print. But i have found that referring to god as a unit of measure only seems to offend christians jews and muslims. My point was never meant to insult. Yaweh , Allah, Odin, even Satan are units of measure. Where as men we are meant to measure ourselves against as to see how and where we need to grow to become better. …i had to quit talking about this at work.”— First, while most people consider the big ideas, very few people think very deep thoughts. And the vast majority who try (like anything else) fail catastrophically. I tend to avoid such conversations unless others start them and make some error that I feel they would benefit from, or the commons would benefit from, correcting. And then, it might be better to say that a god or gods function as a system of measurement, by which people of the same god, make the same measurements (judgments), because those measurements are commensurable (compatible). Different gods require different sets of measurements, producing different judgements, that are internally commensurable (compatible) but externally not. So in this sense it’s a system of measurement we are referring to. And that is because anthropomorphism is much easier for we simple human animals to work with that reason science, and calculation. There are some relatively universal traits among all gods, but there are many differences. Particularly when ‘gods’ are ‘spirits’ or ‘ancestors’ rather than fictional characters. Those gods we ‘thank’ and persist their investments in us (ancestors), those gods that are like fickle humans and fickle nature for us to thank for the good, and outwit for the bad (european), those gods that provide wisdom (buddha), those gods that are slave-owners (abrahamic), each function as a system of measurement by which we understand, judge, and act in response to the universe and gods and politics and each other. The western Method of math, logic, Science, Economics, Law, History and Literature is a better system of measure – for an aristocracy of the middle class and higher. It does however require a great deal more training for a great deal longer, than children’s stories and anthropomorphic systems of measurement.

(FB 1543997055 Timestamp) THE GOAL OF MEMORY IS TO OPTIMIZE DECISION-MAKING. —“The predominant focus in the neurobiological study of memory has been on remembering (persistence). However, recent studies have considered the neurobiology of forgetting (transience). Here we draw parallels between neurobiological and computational mechanisms underlying transience. We propose that it is the interaction between persistence and transience that allows for intelligent decision-making in dynamic, noisy environments. Specifically, we argue that transience (1) enhances flexibility, by reducing the influence of outdated information on memory-guided decision-making, and (2) prevents overfitting to specific past events, thereby promoting generalization. According to this view, the goal of memory is not the transmission of information through time, per se. Rather, the goal of memory is to optimize decision-making. As such, transience is as important as persistence in mnemonic systems.”— Neuron, The Persistence and Transience of Memory Blake A. Richards Paul W. Frankland

(FB 1544032953 Timestamp) General rule of thumb: “Women are largely the same and relatively valuable, and men are largely different and relatively disposable”. Women generalize and work at shorter time, and smaller scale. Men specialize and work at longer times, and larger scales. That this is a physical and logical necessity and a division of physical cognitive and temporal labor should be obvious.

This is the problem. We used to prosecute women who were scolds the way we prosecute men who are violent. There was and remains a good reason for it.

(FB 1543948959 Timestamp) THE MALE FEMALE CONFLICT OF THE CENTURY The problem of male-female conflict is the same on both sides. Female and postmodern and feminist control of the academy has led to feminine preference for world order – one that they undrestand – infantilization of both male and female. Childhood is an invention that has been exploited by the enemy just as trust an invention that has been exploited by the enemy, just as free speech is an invention that has been exploited by the enemy. And the liberalism with which western man has treated women is an invention that has been exploited by the enemy. Until the age of maturity you are woman’s problem. At the age of maturity you become men’s problem. Never again. Our instincts are functionally successful only with in the range we evolved them for. Outside of those ranges they are harmful. Marriage is the smallest tribe. However it the absolute nuclear family is a middle and upper class capability. Below that the need for traditional intergenerational families is necessary to collect sufficient agency and skill to raise generations. There is no possible aristocracy of everyone. The anglos got math, logic, language, law, economics, and science, right but mankind wrong. There is no possibility of an aristocracy of everyone. The location-independent absolute nuclear family is limited to those capable of producing sufficient agency and resources to supply a family without assistance from others. This is almost exclusively western, and within the west, almost exclusively middle class and upward.

(FB 1544020498 Timestamp) WHY DO WOMEN HATE MEN WHEN THEY END A RELATIONSHIP? —“Curt I must ask about something you related a while back. About how a woman can detach and so hate a man, viewing him as a subhuman worthy of almost any Ill. Yet men like you or I cannot bear such a notion, even to these very women after having deeply caring for them. Why do you feel that is?”—GS 1) Males are dependent upon the success of the tribe. Females on the success of their offspring. Mates are Temporary Alliances, while Tribe and Offspring are Permanent Genetic Necessities. For this reason, Male love is driven by loyalty, Female by devotion. Absent devotion women have no loyalty. Loyalty (infrequent exercise of) is more durable but less costly than devotion (constant exercise). This is the explanation. The rest is consequence. 2) Females evolved for their children not men. Men ‘rotate’, lose their value, or die off. Children remain. … forever. Males evolved to rotate women and monogamy is a … norm, not a necessity. Men will kill over mates more so than any other reason. We retain ‘value’ to retain ‘opportunity’. 3) Poisoning the well (socially) for a lost or discarded man forces a cost on him and trains him that losing a woman is costly in future opportunities – so stay with them. It also eliminates the cost of keeping him ‘away’ (resisting his advances) and creating an opportunity for new or other males to make advances without fear of violence or conflict. 4) Women ‘fight’ to the death because they are so comparatively vulnerable to ostracization, but they fight by reputation destruction to CAUSE ostracization (from opportunity) – so women engage in wars of reputation destruction, with the vehemence of it determined by the social status (social and sexual market value) differences providing ammunition. Upper not caring. Lower not caring as much, but peers caring greatly. 5) (This topic is harder to understand) Men are more dependent upon their economic, political, and military value for less of their lifetimes. (think sprinting) Men are faster and stronger but cheaper and more disposable. Women are more dependent upon their sexual, caretaking, and social value for three generations. (think marathoning). Women are generally a good bet for men. Men are a riskier investment for women. Women are more expensive and less disposable. Losing a man by choice or accident is a kind of failure for women. It’s a Loss for men, less so a failure. A Failure for Women far more so than a loss. 6) Women’s hatred of men is a way of controlling their impulsive emotions so that they do not have to bear the cost of unpleasant feelings, and anger, hatred, blame, allow the intentional suppression of those feelings. Men don’t have the problem of emotional lack of agency. I hope that helps. -Curt —“This explanation in such terms is both troubling on an emotional level, but that will pass and help me with the knowing of it. Moreover its immensely pleasing on a visceral level to have it laid out in such an orderly way, as a fellow autist I genuinely appreciate it. Please do post this if you haven’t. Thank you for this and all you do.”—GS

(FB 1543945333 Timestamp) —“Q:CURT, WHAT ARE LOADING AND FRAMING?”— LOADING: Inserting or removing value judgements, emotions, approval and disapproval, into an argument where they merely obscure the truth. FRAMING: Inserting or removing narrative into the content to imply motives, incentives, intentions, other than those that exist. You should know these two tactics as well as substituting disapproval or approval for argument, as well as all the logical fallacies, and the memory, social, and cognitive biases. If you do not understand these things you are an amateur that needs to maybe study logic and rhetoric, and perhaps the list of ideologies. See http://retawprojects.com/uploads/politics-ideologies.pdf
