    We cannot ever allow women (r selection) to dictate our genetics (k selection) because (a) it is the males who generate evolutionary change, and (b) women prefer to mate for aggression and impulsivity, which is contrary to the ability of a people to evolve increasingly complex societies.

    What if there are no possible futures you desire? What if none you can tolerate? None you can survive?

    This is the problem of the combination of market economy and unregulated reproduction, and the destruction of the family.

    The market can solve the provision of incentives. But it cannot solve the problem of insufficient demand for human labor of any skill level.

    We can have capitalism and wealth only with reproductive limitations.

    We can have involuntary organisation ( North Korea) and unregulated reproduction and poverty.

    Or we can have a voluntary order for those capable of participating and an involuntary order for those not able to participate. And we can regulate reproduction.

    But then what we have today creates for many, an intolerable or unsurvivable world.

    But you have the left push for policies of dysgenia and the right for policies of eugenics and neither is honest about the reasons they push for policies.

    R selection destroys as certainly as war, disaster, plague and famine.

    They are not kind they are cruel. We are not cruel we are moral.

    The resin we fail is that we do not reduce all our problem to this one question?

    If bearing children creates a moral hazard then how can one claim it is a right and not predation?

    @curtdoolittle Oh, I agree. Hating on is usually counterproductive. Not really my thing.

    I’ll hold my own against any academic living. But they don’t matter now. The only people who matter in a revolution are those who fight.

  • What Have Political Scientists Learned About How To Actually Change People’s Views?

    You can’t. Our moral intuitions reflect (necessarily) our reproductive strategy. We vote our genes. We never really change political preferences unless the current voting cycle can be reduced to a single policy issue.

    UM, NO LIVES MATTER – OR VERY CLOSE TO IT.

    Actually, purely empirically, very, very, very, few lives matter at all.

    We just act as if we do so that everyone else will also. We all understand none of us matter. So we treat one another as if we matter out of self-defense.

    We don’t actually matter. We just survive and cooperate if we treat one another like we do.

    Incentives. That’s why communism doesn’t work and consumer capitalism does work. It’s also why everything else works.

    incentives.

    I might argue that civilizations matter. But within them, at any given point, less than one percent of people ‘matter’.

    And the world would be a lot better place if there were a lot fewer people who didn’t matter. Because it matters that they don’t matter so to speak.

    **I look at human genetics as an inventory of possible expressions that allow us to adapt to different circumstances. I do not look at our for genes ideal human. The ideal human is one that can adapt to every possible circumstance while remaining a super-predator within in. We are perfect when our genes and minds contain the perfect inventory.**

    ( Don’t you get it? Aspies are evolutionary specialists in operational construction. I just needed to give them a language. The future is just as dependent upon them as in the past we were dependent upon lawyers with good memories, mathematicians, and engineers. )

    Intense-world people do not need more intensity. Normals are good for us, and we seem to intuit it. Conversely, normals do not realize we are good for them.
