PEOPLE CAN BE TRAINED
–“For years and years, I rehabilitated dogs that were better put down. I worked with dogs because people baffled me – they had a choice and chose badly. But I felt bad for dogs – they had no choice in the matter. So despite having a choice, people think they’re out there making choices – and measurably, they’re not. They’re just untrained. They need training just like dogs. If anything, the internet has shown how quickly people can be trained.– @ThruTheHayes

It’s a difference in temporal prediction. Predicting emotions of others in short time, vs prediction outcomes in the environment across time.
The brain is a difference engine producing a prediction engine. Our differences are biases in dimensions of prediction.

“Q: WHY DO YOU WANT MONEY?”
The reason for ‘f u’ money is so that you can say ‘f u’, and therefore be subject only to your own ignorance error bias and self-deceit rather than the ignorance, error, bias, deceit, corruption, and self-deceit of others. Once limited to your own folly alone there are no frictions to your joy other than your own ability, agency, and competence.
Personally, if you own a condo in a decent location, drive a Ferrari (anything fun to drive), engage in politics that’s worth your time, engage in business you enjoy that’s worth doing, have friends worth having, date women worth dating, take care of your self in fitness food and stress, then it pretty much doesn’t get better than that.
And, yes, a boat is a hole in the water you throw money into. But sometimes there are holes we enjoy enough to throw money into. 😉
If you’re trying to get money to escape this world rather than master it, then you won’t do either.
Follow Max. The worst that will happen is still something good. 😉

Easy to answer. more elaborate sensory needs because more neotenic impulse suppression. Same reason for black impulsive crime vs white planned crime. Same reason for asian sex oddities – even greater suppression.
So you see (a) greater numbers of whites in the first place (b) greater abstraction in white stimulation. But this is just a race difference in time preference. It just means sexual impulse is the same demand everywhere but expression varies by time preference.Reply addressees: @NuSecretShopper

1) Most of their goals are daydreams, that they use to sedate their boredom, and they have no intention of doing the hard work to achieve them.
2) Overestimating their competitive ability in the market, underestimating the work necessary, underinvesting in producing excellence sufficent for differentiation, and intolerant of pain, stress, and failure.
3) Seeking stimulation and sedation through consumption rather than production or investment.Reply addressees: @themaxstoic

(Doesn’t matter if you’re right that ‘this is all bad’ it means you dong know what to do about it, and impede everyone who does, because you want impulsive, quick, and easily understood solutions that are intolerable for the majority.)

–“Q: Why don’t people have the same capacity for self-regulation (delayed gratification, goal persistence, tolerance for frustration, and as such time preference.)”–
A very small number of traits determine one’s ability to participate in our high-trust moral civilization, because our high trust civilization requires self regulation that produces long term time preference:
And they work in a hierarchy:
1) Genetics >
2) Brain Development > Neuroticism > Conscientiousness > Intelligence >
3) Familial > Cultural > Institutional Training
4) Physical Fitness > knowledge > skill
Each step increases the possibility of self-regulation.
Genetics produce neurological development, training produces discipline, and education produces more discipline.
So no. The distribution of ability roughly but only roughly corresponds to the IQ distribution, and the classes and races correspond to the IQ distribution. Because at large scale, IQ is a proxy for brain development.
Because IQ is a rough measure of the friction of transmission of information in the brain, across all regions of the brain necessary for recursive perception, disambiguation, association, and prediction. ‘Cause that’s all the brain does. 😉
