    I mean, while I feel like I’m still fourteen (grin), I’m in my early sixties, and it’s only over the past year of trying to comprehend it (“working on myself” as I recover my health) that I realize just how divergent some of us are (I am) from the neurotypicals. And perhaps just how challenging it is for the lower end of the neurotypicals to just get through life. Though honestly the midwits are the most exasperating people to deal with. Simple folk are generally easy by just demonstrating kindness and respect. It’s the desperate status climbers that are exasperating. 😉

    Talking past you. Think preference instead of bias. In other words we can learn to undertand our preference (bias) in relation to the absence of bias, thus allowing us to understand our preferences vs those of others. In other words a standard of weights and measures allows commensurability without the confusion of conflation and inflation we use to attribute more to (justify) our preference (bias). Thus we can both apprecite our preferences, those of others, those of others in time and place, and still judge them all objectively superior or inferior. Though it is true that just as there are limits to calculation (math), to logic (argument), reason (decision), there are limits to aesthetic understanding. So we can only teach each to the limits of his or her ability. Hence my previous comment on denographic composition. In fact the rate of collapse of ability is frighteningly rapid, and masked by the commensurability provided by language and norms. Because we only need cooperate within the limits of one another’s abilities – which is the problem with mass education, universal enfranchisement, and democratic government.. that we experience today.

    Love you brother.
    The burden of understanding.
    But it creates the strength of agency. 😉

    BUILDING GREAT MEN AND GREAT LEADERSHIP
    Any executive must grow his management team through a cycle of maturity as does a parent his children, a craftshman his apprentices, a general his officers, or a king his cabinet. First to follow, second to master, third to take initiative, fourth to provide constructive criticism while pursuing the same goals, and finally to be capable of replacing him in his responsibilities.

    In my experience there is a tendency of those who we have so heavily invested in developing, to presume they understand more than they do, are capable of the same, and can bear the burdens equally as well.

    The trick then is to have them understand those responsibilities, and gradually assume them, allowing them to fail or succeed, with while hiding the net that may catch them if they fall.

    BEcause all great leaders only do so because they fear everyone is worse than they are – not because they are the best, exceptional, less fallible, or less flawed. It’s when those that we mentor understand, bear, and fear that burden that they are then capable of bearing it without folly.

  • I didn’t realize you were a woman. Men reason the costs and benefits. Only women

    I didn’t realize you were a woman.
    Men reason the costs and benefits.
    Only women think in terms of emotions.
    Because only women, and only effeminate cultures, like women, resist individual responsibility for the private and common despite the cost of adaptation imposed on the individual by the demand for responsibility.
    I mean, that’s the whole secret of western civ: the institutionalization of demand for individual responsibility producing a natural hierarchy of competency.
    The fact that our women are ‘out of hand’ at the moment is due to the experiment we are running with them. And the fact that you and yours, like wome, are out of hand at the moment is we are running an experiment with you as well. Both you and women are failing the test of individual responsibility and in particular truth before face.
    You are a child. You just don’t know what an adult is yet.

    –“Well, again, I don’t believe with females, it actually has to do with care. Care extends to their children and sometimes other relatives. It doesn’t even always extend to a husband- I see this attribution of caretaking as trying to make women sound virtuous and misapplying it rather than that they’re just selfishly signaling. Empathy, sure, but that’s not even preference, just what signals they’re getting from the environment around them. So there really is no reciprocity possible, they simply need to be constrained. Politically selling that is a huge task.”– Martin Stepan

    That is why you wont be one, because you cant comprehend the utility of adopting those behaviors. Nor the trust that results in their network by doing so. One develops an external persona that is non reflective to prevent sending signals. I rarely invested. Because so few people…

    So feminine biased brains gravitate to feminine (left) intuitions. And masculine biased brains gravitate to masculine (right) biased in intuitions. And the distribution between left center and right is pretty oddly even and only varies by the size of the underclass who seek feminine dependency and irresponsibility rather than male autonomy and responsibility.

  • Brains predict. They bias prediction for: F: Feelz: Empathizing (few, same, now)

    Brains predict. They bias prediction for:

    F: Feelz: Empathizing (few, same, now) – laterally
    vs
    M: Realsz: Systematizing (many, different, then) – longitudinally

    All neurological differences as with all biological differences, are subject to energy constraints, so all differences require trade offs.

    Bilateralism (who-sidedness) created two halves of the brain connected via the corpus callosum. In order to coordinate movement priority must be established. Generally this is the right if we reach full in utero maturity.

    The brains need only differ by ‘baiting’ neural connectivity (development) to favor one hormonal bias or another because neurons like highways survive and grow when used, so whomever gets the most traffic gains dominance.

    Neurons migrate into place from the neural tube. Then there are about thirty molecular signals that different neurons follow to search across the brain for connections.

    My point here is that all we need do to cause brains to evolve differently (all other things considered) is to encourage some connectivity and discourage other – and this is done simply by providing hormones and chemistry that provide more or less reward to different neural connections, just as say an arborist ‘grooms’ the growth of a plant or tree.
