EUROPEANS ARE MORE EVOLVED THAN AFRICANS AND SOUTH EURASIANS AND DIFFERENTLY EVOLVED FROM EAST ASIANS The question of body size, brain size, energy, neoteny, and aggression that permits *distributed computation*. OUR BRAINS ARE SHRINKING Neanderthals had bigger brains than us. But not bigger than early homo sapiens. They were expanding until about 10 years ago, and have gone down by 150ccm. So we’ve decreased by two standard deviations. Our skulls are thinner, and less robust....

The Chinese advantage is that they DONT have democracy. They have an Ethnic homogeneity, territorial isolation, military and political autonomy, a professional and ethnocentric elite and bureaucracy. If cured of their overpopulation, they live in one of the most choice pieces of real estate in the world – vulnerable only due to their ‘unnecessary’ population. We are all victims of our first institutions. The hindus to location, demographics and mysticism, the semites to demographics, location, and authoritarian religion, the chinese to geography, state formation, and the europeans to rule of law....

The difference between the Church’s education and state education is that the Church’s future was dependent upon the production of capable peasants – and so the priests, brothers, and sisters were economically ACCOUNTABLE for at least the social and economic results of their efforts. As the product of what remained of catholic education myself, the near military discipline, was almost as good as the military discipline of the military schools (Which I begged for and couldn’t get)....

Analysis and Explanation The Homogenization of West Eurasia by Expansion and Hybridization We see physically modern humans ~300k years ago in east africa, and limited migration out of africa. We see basal humans emerge out of africa ~100k years ago and expand to australia – physically modern humans, but not socially, cognitively, or archelogically (tools) human. We see basal Eurasians out of africa ~65000 BC – culturally modern humans. We see the neolithic Revolution around ~50000 BC....

I think …. well … you know, the whole p-program can be considered an extension of the economic revolution of accounting for the seen and unseen. So disambiguation by serialization and operationalization, creating a universal value-neutral logic (vocabulary, logic, and paradigm) of human behavior that is consistent, correspondent, with physical laws. Creating universal commensurability across all fields. Enabling fully accounting regardless of fields. These are just methods of full accounting of the seen and unseen....

—“KMac, in his last book, talked about how we evolved under extremely challenging environmental circumstances. And that even though so did northern Asians, they are tribal and as blind to their tribalism as is the chosen people. I don’t recall how he reconciled these divergent outcomes. Maybe he didn’t – maybe he just acknowledged them. Then you picked up the thread, if memory serves, and attributed it to the divine....

—“Curt: What are some examples of cultural relativism around the world?”– quora user 1) Bride Kidnapping (actions) Just to pick a controversial one. While less than two hundred years have passed, we have lost cultural memory of the reason women wanted to be married: independence. It is better to be in command of your own house over your own children than under command of your parent’s house in the service of your brothers and sisters....

GODS —“Earlier in the year, around Richmond event, you posted something to the effect that God had imbued us with special chosenness and with the divine mandate to lead the rest of the world kicking and screaming out of poverty, ignorance etc. And that parasitism, tolerance, and civ collapse is the price we pay to the universe for these gifts. Did I understand your thoughts clearly?”— You understood correctly (or at least closely enough) because I was speaking in the language and grammar of inspirational theology: wisdom....

RIGHT-WING CRITICISM OF THE DAY #1 I’m not the first person to say that conquering and settling a continent attracts magical thinkers, and people who enable magical thinkers, and religion, government, finance, marketing, and media who pander to them But you eventually run out of the opportunity for magical thinking. You ran out. Grow up.

RIGHT-WING CRITICISM OF THE DAY #2 (I’m desperately trying to say this within FB guidelines) The Right? Cowardly, Conflict-Avoiding, Permission-Seeking, Authority-Needing, Right-Wingers. They’re Perfect Christians. Great peasants. Great soldiers. And hyper-moral. The world’s best lower, working, and middle class and secret to western success: the west has the only high trust, meritocratic, commons-producing, laboring, working, and middle class in the world. But they’re the worst possible revolutionaries. Totally incapable of self-defense....
