(FB 1551536363 Timestamp) Danny, IMO (selfishly on my part ) one of your best papers – success and failure of institutions being near and dear to my heart. RE: https://www.academia.edu/38466999/Are_Institutions_Created_by_Collective_Acceptance? CONTEXT QUESTION 0. Could be a little more ‘bold’ in the abstract, because the question you are trying to answer is relevant to the urgent present condition – abstract under rates the argument? My understanding is that you consistently address the arguments of other authors in proper academic fashion, but do you tie your work back to general theory, or general arguments? Or do you intend your audience to interpret each paper in a vacuum rather than as a collection of your works in defense or advocacy of a theory? ANSWERED QUESTION 1. Attributing greater agency to people than they have? (not sure if this is answered) 2. Do institutions(producers) rules (products) and actions (services) fulfill a market demand or fail to fulfill a market demand? (answered) 3. Is the failure to fulfill a market demand due to (a) contrary to demand, (b) limiting demand, (c) assisting demand? (answered) UNANSWERED QUESTION 5. Do you mean to say that status is assigned or that institutions can provide a vehicle for signaling by virtue of either the coercive power delivered to their members or success at competing within the limits of those coercive powers? 6. Is the market demand determined by Moral Intuitions (group strategies), Ethical Intuitions (Organizational Strategies), or Generational, or Gender intuitions (strategies)? 7. Are the Neocon, Marxist, Libertarian, Postmodern, Feminist movements made possible by temporary economic windfalls from hydrocarbons, the industrial and technological revolutions lasting only until asymmetry of underclasses and technology is ameliorated by regression to the mean? And is that the underlying conflict? 8. Are we not only discovering that this luxury makes females and males diverge in demonstration of genetic interests (rather than converge as the left anticipated), but that groups within empires and nation states are seeking expression of genetic interests generating unresolvable conflict of interest? 9. What equilibrium must be established to move in any given direction from existing intellectual, narrative, economic, political, social, and familial orders? 10. Is there any value of scale, or (as in the ancient world) do we regress to the mean and decline slowly in order to preserve what we perceive as benefits of institutional and political scale? thanks.

(FB 1551447331 Timestamp) YES PSYCHOLOGY IS PLAGUED BY PSEUDOSCIENCE AND YES THE REPLICATION CRISIS DESTROYED ITS CREDIBILITY â —“Paper finds evidence that the reproducibility crisis may already have damaged the trust in psychological science and the perception of its value among lay people beyond repair. https://osf.io/4ukq5 “— Rolf Degen It has in both Psych. and Soc. Cog-Sci Won. Better model is neural networks, neural economy, the Homunculus, hemispheric competition (predatory prey), gender differences, reward systems, division of labor, and that all human behavior is expressible as acquisition using economics. In other words, if you can’t explain human behavior in economic language you’re projecting judgements (biases) to conformity on what is a division of perception, cognition, memory, advocacy, and labor.

(FB 1551397685 Timestamp) WEAPONIZED GYNOCENTRISM by JWarren Prescott The primary neurochemical for the pleasure response is dopamine. Yes, itâs evolutionary, however, political power triggers not only dopamine but testosterone in both men and women. Then the dominance/submissiveness hierarchy further rewards individuals as they gain dominance and penalizes them as they lose dominance. Too much dopamine disrupts normal cognitive function and emotions giving rise to errors in judgment and erratic behavior. While it is true that Men are better suited to handle higher levels of testosterone, women have a greater sensitivity to it. Addicted to power? Yeah, pretty much. Now, clear the path to political power by legitimizing victimhood and philanthropy and you have just weaponized gynocentrism.

(FB 1551451889 Timestamp) TEST OF ABRAHAMIC RELIGION What are priests selling in exchange for income and status? Is christianity history or mythology, true or poetic? Is there life after death or not? Is it truly wisdom or is it a means of self deception? If you learned stoicism instead of christianity, and if you learned history and science instead of mythology and supernaturalism would you and your people live a better life? Why did we rise out of superstition ignorance and poverty once we restored aristotelian thought, and literacy rather than semitic thought and illiteracy? Why did we have such a drastic increase in quality of life after the church was no longer able to prey upon the people through rents and tithes? Why are we vulnerable to marxism, postmodernism, and feminism if it is not for christianity? Why is christianity taught and argued using the same techniques as marxism, postmodernism, and feminism? Why do christians let our people be conquered rather than fight like the pagans do? Why are pagans and atheists so desirous of conflict and the christians cowardice? TEST OF RECIPROCITY Productive (fail) it’s parasitic. Fully informed (fail) it’s totally false. Warrantied (fail) they can’t warranty supernatural. Voluntary (fail) threat if you don’t comply Free of Externality: the externalities are suicidal.

- I loan you money. you pay me many times the original amount. and you can’t catch up, ever…..
I loan you money, you cant pay, I take your house….
I loan you money, you can’t pay, you have to resort to crime, others are harmed….
In each of these circumstances the public is now carrying you as a burden, while the usurer is free riding on the public because he succeeded in baited you into moral hazard. As such it breaks the prohibition on negative externality. It breaks productivity by benefitting disproportionately from the suffering of others. It breaks asymmetry of information by asymmetry of incentive (taking advantage of the moment). The actor has no material skin in the game and no warranty. So we say instead the usurer has a negative due diligence. It’s “baiting into moral hazard.” TEST OF RECIPROCITY (Morality): Productive, (fail) Fully Informed (baited into optimism) Warrantied, (fail) Voluntary Transfer (“under duress”) Free of Negative Externality (fail)
