  • Religiosity as A Mask

    You know, you don’t know this, but I do: that the principle reason people hide behind authoritarian religions is so that they don’t have to negotiate with other people on existential terms. In other words, it’s a form of isolation despite public appearances.

  • Wired for Gadgets

    Men have a thing for ‘devices’ like women have a thing for accessories. I can’t remember the study but basically the more gears and stupid stuff a thing has the more interested a male will be in it. Some test where they brought men into rooms and let them get bored for a minute and watched what they demonstrated an interest in, and the mechanical stuff just won every time. The whole transformers thing took advantage of this basic idea, and its why gaming and programming is so hypnotizing and consuming for men.

    —“What is the central dogma of the postmodern left?”—- THE POSTMODERN CANON (Really, this is the answer). (The Vision of the Anointed) 1) While never having power, never governing, never building business and industry or army, the anointed are confident that they could rule better than the law, markets, and meritocratic outcomes. 2) All that matters in enforcing the vision of the anointed is political power, and as such all that matters is getting political power, and therefore groups must do whatever possible to obtain political power by any means. 3) Truth, reason, science, reciprocity, value, are therefore just one means of obtaining power and therefore irrelevant in the pursuit of power, and as such neither truth, nor reason, nor value nor results of the sciences, nor the requirement for reciprocity either serve the interests of obtaining power or not, and therefore intellectual honestly and consistency is both unnecessary and an impediment to obtaining power. 4) The communist, scientific socialist, democratic socialist, and cultural marxist movements having failed in the competition for power given the successes of science, private property, markets, and consumer capitalism, the only means of obtaining power by which to impose a managed economy and equality of outcome, is to change the political value system from economic outcome to social status outcome (‘oppression’). 5) Changing from material improvement and relative material equality to social status equality is to pursue the intuitively desirable but the physically impossible. (just as communism and socialism and life after death were impossible) 6) The optimum means of obtaining power is to fragment the polity into identities, and therefore increase the demand for authoritarian solutions that replace existing market models.

  • Differences in Intrinsic Value of Women and Men

    The majority women are de facto intrinsically valuable unless behaviorally costly as individuals. the majority of men are only intrinsically valuable as a team unless behaviorally exceptional as individuals. this asymmetry explains genetic asymmetry of reproduction of the genders, and the dangers of excess men explains the development of marriage, and the disappearance of groups with excess women.

  • Just Love Them and Limit Their Influence to Their Domain of Competence

    Love women, dont argue with them. Let them believe their feelings are sources of knowledge. they are overwhelmed by them and lack agency because of them. And cannot function if they cannot trust them. Those feelings are temporally and individually valuable. just deny their application to scale and intertemporal conditions where feelings are relevant to individuals but outcomes relevant to the group regardless of individual feelings. we made the mistake of universal enfranchisement. women are not bad they are wonderful. but their intuitions of scale (political) are as useless as are male intuitions about carrying, nursing, and caring for infants. The problem with universal enfranchisement, is that while women can deny us interpersonal influence we can no longer deny them political influence. we are compatible only through trade, and by trade we calculate the nash optimum despite our differences in ability and interest. and by including women in the political we eliminated the female market for marriage as well as the male market for politics.
