    Some afternoons, after struggling with … less cognitively developed people… for a few hours, your tendency to reduction and clarity on the human condition, without anger or hatred is just … well, pleasant. 😉

    FOUR CATEGORIES OF CREEPY FEMALE BEHAVIOR?
    Things men really don’t like.
    (unoriginal, I just categorized them)

    1. Being Artificial For Him (uncomfortable in your skin).
    – Fake Nails (creepy and trashy)
    – Fake Eyelashes
    – Excessively Full Lips
    – Wearing a LOT of makeup
    – Spending time on hair or makeup for him (he prefers natural beauty).

    2. Disrespecting Him
    – Being introduced as a friend (being discounted and disrespected)
    – Pet names in public.
    – Being called “hubby’ even in private
    – Baby Talk (really creepy)

    3. Manipulating Him
    – Damsel in Distress Fallacy (high maintenance, high worry)
    – Having to Chase you. (men don’t want to chase, it means you don’t want him)
    – Behaving Like a Diva (high maintenance)

    4. Seeking Unhealthy Attention and Devaluing him
    – Posting your revealing photos on social media.
    – Clubbing with the girls for attention

  • DEFINITIONS: – Interest, Demonstrated Interest – Agency, Autonomy, Sovereignty –

    DEFINITIONS:
    – Interest, Demonstrated Interest
    – Agency, Autonomy, Sovereignty
    – Self-Determination by Self-Determined Means.

    Interest: Expenditure or forgone opportunity, to demonstrate bearing of costs (investment) in obtaining full exclusive or shared partial control over a person, place, or thing.

    Demonstrated interests: Siezure of an opportunity to obtain an expectation of a monopoly of full exclusive or shared partial control over an interest, by bearing the cost of acting or not acting to demonstrate that interest(cost-return) without having violated a previously seized opportunity to obtain full exclusive or partial shared control over an interest by others in the same polity with whom we share the same agreement for sovereignty.

    Agency (re: self): Ability to use mind, body, actions, knowledge, Skills, Information, and Resources to act in fulfillment of wants and needs.

    Autonomy (re: others): Monopoly of control over mind, body, and actions, by the non-interference of others in doing so.

    Sovereignty (re: Institutions of Insurance):
    Institutional organization of reciprocal insurance by force of arms of one’s autonomy in the exercise of control of one’s demonstrated interests within the limits of one’s agency, without violating the demonstrated interests of others.

    Self-Determination by Self-Determined Means
    “Self-determination by self-determined means” requires complete autonomy in both the goals one sets and the methods one uses to achieve those goals.
    The requirements for this condition include agency (rational decision-making), demonstrated interests (access to resources), autonomy (freedom of interference by others, a set of rules an processes for judgment ( ethical considerations), and institutions of Reciprocal Insurance (a supportive legal and social framework, the absence of oppression).

  • “Dad What’s Your Job?”– Daughters. 😉 During most of her life, and still now I’

    –“Dad What’s Your Job?”–

    Daughters. 😉
    During most of her life, and still now I’d assume as she creeps toward 40, my daughter repeatedly said “I don’t understand what you do for a living?”

    I try:
    I’m a CEO. I build companies. And then I sell them.

    (Puzzled).

    Ok. So, your mom works for a very big insurance company. She has a boss. That person has a boss. That person has a boss, and so on until there is no one left but the top boss, the CEO – and that CEO’s only sorta-boss is a board of directors: sort of like a jury, and shareholders, like an even bigger jury. (Me thinking, except in my case I have pretty much all the votes on the jury.) 😉

    (She’s still puzzled though I can’t comprehend why)

    But what do I do? I buy companies. I put them together. I make a bigger company. I figure out how make them work together better. How to get sales for them. And I train management to run them. And so we can get bigger better customers with bigger budgets, and more interesting and harder problems, and this lets us hire even better and more expensive talented people and salespeople and marketers so now we’re big and secure and much more stable than smaller companies. (And Dad makes makes money by appreciation of stock that he exchanges for money when he sells the company – but I won’t even try to explain that part.)

    (Eyes beginning to glaze over)

    What kind of companies? I’ve built different kinds of companies. Commercial Art Supplies. Legal Research firms and Consulting Companies. But during your lifetime, I’ve mostly built technology companies. And the big ones were people that design and write software mostly, build, launch, and manage websites, run marketing campaigns, place advertisements things like that. Companies and governments hire us to listen, advise, write, maintain, software, marketing, advertising, and customer relationships for them. But because most of them are very big companies we only do it for parts of the business – mostly. Because we are very good at one thing: selling complicated stuff to consumers and businesses by making it easy to work with the companies and governments. (I’m thinking: and manage wars, or assist in the transport of secret documents, and help spies – but we won’t discuss that right now as you’re a girl, and this would really bother you, and make you think dad is even stranger than you do already.)

    “OK, but I still don’t understand.”

    I wish it was simple like being a fireman, policeman, doctor, teacher, or even an accountant – but it’s not. Think of it more like there are people who fix the refrigerator, the electricity, and the plumbing in the house. Or people who the stable calls to take care of your horse, like the farrier or the veterinarian, when it’s ill. I build companies that put teams of people together to solve problems with technology instead. (Realistically it’s a lot l like plumbing, but with information instead of water, and it can leak money or information if not done properly creating a heck of a mess, and often includes a lot of the equivalent of eliminating wastewater so to speak.)

    “Ok, thanks Dad”.

    Meaning she doesn’t grasp it, and doesn’t want to, and it’s time to move on. But her mother raised her properly and she will show good manners and grace at all times. 😉

    I’ve built about a dozen companies depending upon how you count them, and bought more than a hundred I think. And, to be honest I’m not sure what I did for a living either other negotiate with people in ways that made money. 😉

    Thanks for listening to my catharsis. 😉

  • THE END OF MARRIAGE AND RESPONSIBILITIES TO ONE ANOTHER Men only leave for one r

    THE END OF MARRIAGE AND RESPONSIBILITIES TO ONE ANOTHER
    Men only leave for one reason because all then need is respect feeding and sex to be happy.
    Men have no responsibility or necessity of responsibility external to the want of one a woman’s company in fulfilling that need.
    Marx claimed we have responsibility to society – but we dont. We either benefit or leave.
    Women claim men have responsibility to women – we dont. We either benefit or leave.
    Relationships are a trade. They are reciprocal or not. If men leave it is not reciprocal.
    Women end 80-90% of relationships. The vast majority because they are bored. And because they can extract alimony and child support without that reciprocity to entertain themselves.
    There is an odd childish intuition common in women that men have the same dedication to women and children as do women – and its not true. Even male gorillas will protect any and all children, more so than their their females. Thats one of the driving forces toward neoteny: more neotenous females provoke a greater protection, dominance and sex instinct in males, and those females have more children. I mean a 5’3-4″ brunette is just going to have more kids than a 5’7-9″ woman. (odd, right?)
    The purpose of marriage other that interference between mates is the primary reason men kill, is to gain committment and insurance from the polity for non interferece in the marriage, and prohibition on the voluntary dissolution of the marriage to protect the polity and woman’s family from the burden of single mothers when mouths to feed was the principle risk.
    We have ended the requrement of the public and individuals to insure society agains the impulses of those in and out of the marriage. This insuance and incentive and protection doesnt exist any longer.
    Women are more economically independent than men today – at least in the white collar work force, are more adaptive to changes in workplace personnel, and fill the occupations with the least accumulation of cellular damage. So women are employable for longer work lives.
    Women claim and demonstrate they have no need of men – at least directly. That’s despite that men make it possible for them to be so indirectly. And despite that white men over 35 are the only net contributors to taxation, and despite that women consume 70% of benefits, and spend 70% of income, and accumulate most debt.
    Women can effectively engage in polyamory and hypergamic gene capture because men take indirect responsibility for women via division of labor (occupations), markets and taxation, instead of direct responsibility.
    So the “Responsibility” of either party for the other has ended, and the legal system has not yet caught up — but will do so within a decade. Lifetime alimony ended. alimony will shortly end. Common property and Child support not long after.
    In most of our history divorce meant women kept their young children, men their older, anf the responsibility for the woman returned to her father – to protect the community from the cost of her and her children. This is the direction we will naturally evolve to with marriage returning to a property of the elites.
    The pre-agrarian relationship was that bloodlines lived together around the female line of certainty of parentage with uncles and brothers and sisters and aunts all dividing labor. Human nature is serial monogamy of five to seven years max. Again that is the natural evolutionary direction.
    Marriage and monogamy are a product of the agrarian age, capital necessary for farming, marginal productivity of farming, and the need to preserve that capital in the family by inheritance over generations. And we are no longer in that age.
    The feminists set out to destroy marriage the family, and the ritual compromise between the sexes for mutual benefit in a division of labor that decreased the cost of the household for each, and ensured their later support by the shared investment in offspring.
    Women succeeded in destroying family, education, economy, goverment and even the gene pool.
    The only question of interest is why did men allow women to do so? But we know because we are repeating the fall of rome by the same means: its in the interest of men who will pander to women to organize the society through social construction of false promises that satisfy female magical thinking, gaining temporary benefit of status despite long term consequences to the civilization.
    In other words status seeking for sex.
    (sigh….)

    It’s really odd how often I’m blocked for explaining the use of feminine cognition, valuation, and argument as an evasion of responsbiity for agency, reciprocity, and commons.
