    It’s because they feel more vulnerable. Our ability to admit we are wrong is a combination of our vulnerability and the degree to which we have over invested in falsehoods in order to create self and other illusions of status and ability. Since both men and women do the latter, the sensitivity to vulnerability is what causes greater resistance to admit error in women. The problem for men is making women feel safe enough, or finding women that feel safe of their own accord.

  • Charities

    I would prefer outlawing all charities that did not convey 100% of donations to the target. and I would demand warranty of that fact. This forces volunteers to produce goods through direct action and eliminates the profit incentive for virtue signaling.

  • I Don’t Hate. Just Accept Some of Us Must Separate

    I don’t hate on any group. The fact that it is in some our our interests to separate and some of our interests to mix, is simply an expression of the affordability of that option. Wealth allows expression of preferences. Some of us prefer separatism (because we have superior group traits that provide us premiums) and some of us prefer integration (because we can gain from superior groups or inferior group discounts). So it is in the interest of people from inferior groups and often with inferior traits to seek the benefits of superior groups. The question is only whether it is of benefit (profit) to the host, or harm (loss) to the host. And in general transfer of professionals that reduces the price of professional services is of benefit, while transfer of labor which reduces the price of labor is of harm. The simple reason being that lowering professional costs and raising labor costs is in the group’s interest. My argument is that groups must pay the cost of domesticating their own, and if they cannot domesticate their own, and worse, if they export their own – causing externalities by doing so – they lose the reciprocal obligation to permit sovereignty (self rule). This is a terribly simple problem: Pay for your own costs – one way or another.

  • Nuclear Weapons Are a Bit Like Monuments.

    They are terribly expensive, but produce extraordinary returns. Now, think about this for a second. Russia invested overly in military and in particular nuclear weapons. Of all the investments in sovereignty Russia made, the only durable one has been those nuclear weapons. Any polity with a few nuclear weapons and an armed populace, with stores of RPG’s, Man portable Missile Launchers, and enough artillery to protect lines of invasion, is relatively safe from conquest. So a relatively small number of professional warriors, a sufficiently trained militia, and the cost of military can be below the 3-4% Switzerland, which arguably benefits from the ‘mountainous terrain discount’, only spends 0.8% per year. The additional benefit of being a small nuclear state operating on international markets is that it is very hard for you to create sufficiently international dependencies that you need war to protect them.
