I have a thing about recognizing talent and you have it.
One thing we have learned that’s interesting, is that personality traits appear to be just as important as intelligence and knowledge. Why? The truth is often disagreeable. You have to want it, and want to use it to…

Hmm… well, what you mean (and I know this about you already) is that you have low trait agreeablenss. So you made the right choice. “the purpose of education is to avoid real work” is a quote that always stuck with me.

I don’t either. But they were the first ‘pet’ generation. I dunno what to call genz but they’re effectively disabled. And it’s sad.

This is a slide from my course on the brain. It is a diagram of the hippocampal region. Region CA1 uses the index created by the spatial properties of episodic memory to auto-associate possibly related memories. Combining this function with attention using the prefrontal cortex… https://t.co/3I1yssptjG

Teaching her to be competnt an brilliant and leaving her wealthy was the best thing.
No one is the same after extreme illness and stress. I needed to move on. She needed not to. I love her to pieces to this day. I just can’t live that life any longer., It was killing me.
I love…

WE CANNOT CHANGE YOU – WE GAVE UP (AGAIN)
We cannot change you because you are not capable of change. Half your population has an IQ of 83 or less meaning you are unemployable in any capacity other than repetitive manual labor that is simple and free of decision making. Again, half of the people are effectively uneducated able to read nothing more than the Koran or simple text, with no substantive knowledge of the world. You have the lowest trust people outside of africa, and the least trustworthy, and the most petty. SO islam is necessary for you.
We have conquered you six times already – and each time found you wanting: The 1) bronze age collapse, 2) the greeks, 3)the romans, 4) the crusaders, 5) Vienna, 6) the world wars and I suspect our halfeuropean jews of- israel will make it a 7th – which they would if we would let them.
Instead of conquering you we are trying to civilize you. We are trying to unite israel, the kingdoms, and egypt against Iran’s conquest of lebanon, syria, iraq and it’s possible given the conflict in the east, they have eyes on at least parts of the saudi persian gulf coast (oil), as well as the kurdish territory in Turkey. And since the second world war we have been trying to shepherd you into economic prosperity sufficient to raise you out of ingnorance and poverty – as we have the rest of the world by ending empires and creating free trade for all.
No men have ever been better than we but maybe the victorian english. Otherwise westerners have done more for humanity in a few centuries in the bronze, iron, and steel ages, than all other civilizations in history combined. And it appears rather obvious that every time we come into contact with you it causes some sort of dark age of ignorance and suffering.
You can’t handle modernity because it requries intelligence, knowledge, contract, trust, and trustworthiness. It’s ok. But we must separate forever, until, possibly, some day, you can.
The chinese are right. “Build A Great Wall.”

JEWISH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES ARE A BIT OVERSTATED BUT BIASED A BIT TO THE FEMALE NEUROSIS SPECTRUM
(Kind of interesting)
I can explain this in detail but I’m already complaining about every race on the planet today so I’d prefer to avoid it. So I’ll just give you an overview.
Now, first, we should start with sex differences in mental illness and antisocial behavior. Women manifest mental instability on an astounding scale, with 30-40% of american women on some sort of mood stabilizer. Men however manifest these behaviors very differently. Usually exteranlizing them as aggression, alcohol, crime, disagreeablness, or laziness.
We should expect to see certain expressed behaviors in the ashkenazim, and the same for the arabized population, and we do see them. (A jewish friend’s daughter committed suicide years ago ago because the schizophrenia progressed rapidly and dangerously. It was terribly painful for all.)
However, what we should observe and do observe is the female end of the spectrum with neuroticisms rather than the male version (alcohol and drug abuse)
And we do: neurosis, manic depression (bipolar disorder), dysthymia, (minor depression, major depression, simple phobia and schizophrenia. Note these are integrative disorders not compartmentalized disorders).
However other mental illnesses are within the same ranges as the rest of the european population: panic disorder, agoraphobia, social phobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, alcohol, and drug abuse. Note these are compartmentalization disorders not integrative disorders.
In other words these suggest a sex difference in cognitive organization – which is what we should expect to see.
So in other words, if men manifest these behaviors (“if you slice open an actor you’ll find an actress”) they’re more visible. And if a woman, and you’re more attention seeking and aggressive, they’re more visible.
So I don’t think we’re seeing as much mental illness as more expression of female behavior in a group that is cognitively biased for female behavior, both in origin, genetic integration with european wome, and selection for skill sets favoring female cognition.
In other words, Ashkenazi men manifest female bias in psychological behaviors, and I think we just notice it more because it’s different from our expectations. I’m not sure with ashenazi women. There isn’t any data. My sample is pretty large but IMO the distribution is more stable than the male. But we need science on this issue. I can’t tell if I’m engaging in fitting observations to the theory.
At least that’s my charitable understanding of the matter. it’s also the opinion of most historians who have thought about the issue.
Cheers

I would need an explanation of that. human intincts are actually terribly simple to explain and all human behavior can be explained from those simple first principles. Our instincts developed at least two if not three million years ago. The direction after that is simply more IQ…

–“Q: Curt: Do women then even naturally desire children, or are they just a byproduct?”–
Summary
A set of very simple neurological tweaks, in sequence, produce women’s care for children, but much less so their want of children.
Learning
Women who are raised with other children, especially younger children they care for, will tend to desire children. Some portion of women who have not will tend to favor hyperconsumption (selfishness) over child rearing. The reason is simple: women are biased to empathizing in time instead of male systematizing over time. ANd all brains like being stimulated by whatever means they are organized to recieve stimulation.
Explanation
The correct answer as far as we know, is that women desire sex, not children. Once they have children the hormones generally but not always do their job. Once the hormones do the job the gratification of attention and empathic exercise does it’s job. Once they develop skill at using attention and empathic exercise they discover they have real agency in the world (which is usually more of a male disposition). Once that is habituated most women find the stimulation of extending their nervous system over those of their children something akin to addictive. And that’s why they hold onto it even after children are gone – and some mothers are even a problem because of it. Meanwhile Kin selection and kin preference create a priority in both sexes – though oddly both men and women are more protective of children than they are of one another.
Conclusion
So nature brought about a sequence of incentives that together. In other words, sex drive, want of attention, empathizing and agency for stimulation take care of the process of ensuring our survival.
Nature uses simple tools. It’s all it can use.
Cheers
