But technology does not deprive one of inexpensive status signals of identity. It enhances them. Hence the objection.

Simple trick to making a healthy happy child: No matter what, always display joy when you see them. Approval provides security and security creates love. Love creates patience, reciprocity, and understanding.
Teach them patience with interruptions. Children should not think they are more important than adults. But do not carry on nonsense conversation at the expense of your children’s time. And do not let children interrupt you with nonsense at the expense of your opposite’s time.
Never white-lie to your kids. I am very cautious with promises. I have a whole artful language to avoiding them. Maybe must mean maybe. I don’t know must mean I don’t know. Yes must mean yes. Promise must mean promise. Threat must mean punishment. And the best answer to promise is to avoid ‘when’. I never promise when I will do anything. I don’t control that. I promise only that I will. This combination trains everyone to use the best behavior.

Thinking about the words of younger guys of late. Makes me remember how it felt to be sixteen and seventeen around girls and so thankful that mine ‘put out’ so to speak. At the time I thought the whole testosterone thing was a burden – like a drug that wouldnt wear off – but there is really nothing so good as that feeling running through your body. You feel like superman, your body will do nearly anything you ask of it, and you are crazy enough to try it. And the sight and smell and touch of girls is just awesome. It starts dissipating after twenty one or twenty two, which is somewhat of a relief on the one hand, but disappointing on the other – because nothing ever looks, smells, and feels so good in life as the opposite sex when you are just loaded with testosterone, and everything is new and exciting and so rich in sensation. Times have changed but at least in the late 70’s a little cash, a car, a couple of friends, and some girls was pretty freaking wonderful. By contrast life is so much better now, but those sensations have to be found in more subtle experiences. Although I gotta say, that being attracted to a woman never seems to lose its luster. Women are awesome. 🙂

You oughta be more careful about who you reproduce with than you are about your parenting skills. I mean, it’s that simple. And you oughta have more than one kid. Because then you realize your instincts are nonsense.
THey’re gene machines. Given how fucking stupid most people are we wouldn’t exist if child rearing took skill.
Contrary to popular belief, the main benefit of good parenting is effort reduction.
Think about that a bit.
Good parenting is largely self interest: reducing the effort it takes. It just so happens if you reduce that effort, society will also require less effort in constraining your offspring’s behavior.
Really, Most moms in my generation with one kid are freaking lunatics.
Have a bunch. Invest less in each and get more out of all.
You can only screw them up. That means if you have more, you’re less likely to do so
Inverts your whole parenting logic doesn’t it?

http://edge.org/response-detail/26766IDEOLOGY IS THE MOST USEFUL TOOL OF GROUP EVOLUTIONARY STRATEGY (R/K)
—“If you were on a selection committee tasked with choosing someone to hire (or to admit to your university, or to receive a prize in your field), and it came down to two candidates who were equally qualified on objective measures, which candidate would you be most likely to choose?
__A) The one who shared your race
__B) The one who shared your gender
__C) The one who shared your religion
__D) The one who shared your political party or ideology”—
The answer is “D”.
WHY? Because it is currently the most useful group evolutionary strategy.

(Alcohol stops the machine. It does. But that way danger lies. Too many family members fell to it. So I refuse. There is only one solution and that is rest, exercise, and will. )

KNOWING THE SIGNALS OF THE END OF A RELATIONSHIP
The duration of a relationship is ascertainable by the frequency of the display of the disgust response. People who love each other never do it. People who will come apart eventually demonstrate it by one person over contentious issues. People who display it in preferential issues are dead already and they wait only for better opportunity.
A man must never feel a woman is ugly or harmful to him. A woman must never feel a man is weak and harmful to her.
Some very well intentioned and seemingly moral people do not realize that their difficulty in creating and maintaining relationships is because they confuse abstract principles with personal relations.
Disgust responses tell us that we are either immature, vain, ignorant, or self absorbed, or completely incompatible.
We must love unconditionally. It is in business and politics that we must judge conditionally. But in interpersonal relations, love must be unconditional. If it is not or cannot be, then the relationship cannot be.
