    (Diary) OMG it’s so wonderful to have a brain again. Hayek was ill and had a similar experience that lasted years. I had the same worry as he – that I might lose my faculties permanently. I mean over four months! But, recovery continues and day by day I get my brain back to work.

    There’s a difference between the ‘judges’ (core group) and those who are learning, and those who are following because ‘something sounds or feels right’, and those who are following because ‘we sound like we’re on their side’.
    It requires intellectual honesty from all of us. 😉

    The problem is, quite a bit of agency is requires for intellectual honesty. And we have been ‘undomesticated’ from relying on intellectual honesty by training in personal agency – which is really what feminine left has incentivized and institutionalized: infantilization.

    ARGUING WITH THE MIDWITS

    — “One of the most critical premises to your whole thing is that **neural adaptability (intelligence)* is largely genetic. Without that, the whole narrative of the left is plausible. Problem is that there is plenty of “science” you can cite to defend the nature side. How do you argue that effectively with midwit?” –*

    I would say instead that the rate of neural adaptiability achieved by evolutionary neoteny (pedomorphism) is the cause of meaningful genetic differences regardelss of race (subspecies, species, whatever). And that this rate of neural adaptiability, the sex differences in cognition, and minor variations in brain and body chemistry combine to produce variations in demonstrated ability and behavior. So yes, to say that neural adaptability is the first principle of human evolutionary competition, and that the classes (and races, and subraces) manifest differences in rate of neural adaptation that we call empathizing vs systematizing, intelligence, concientiousness, and agency (anti-neuroticism). There is no exception to this first principle and first cause of human differences. In general, most mutation is harmful and diveresity and density increase the difficulty in selecting out defects, so defects accumulate in the lower classes.

    (a) we are providing a (The One) most parsimonious universal logic (paradigm, first principles, vocabulary, grammar) built from the one first principle, into all first principles, of all dimensions that unifies the sciences…

    (b) this method allows the falsification of all logical, scientific, AND rational and moral statements one claims is ‘true’ (testifiable as unambiguous, consistent, correspondent, possible, rational, reciprocal, parsimonious complete and within limits.

    (c) In the battle for nature-nurture the science is (very) clear that it’s somewhere above 60% and likely 80% genetic, that the rest is kaleidic, not nurture, and that nurture (c.1) can largely harm genetic expression (c.2) provides no durable change to genetic expression. That’s all period.

    (d) and most importantly, that just as all nurture ‘dissipates’ with time, resulting in a genetic+kaleidic (idiosyncratic) outcome in adulthood independent of nurture.

    (e) Likewise what applies to the individual applies to the polity – we eventually express our genetics at scale over time.

    (f) this is why
    .. (i) mostly what matters is genetics
    .. (ii) most genetics that matters is size, conscientiousness and intelligence (neurological scale and health)
    .. (iii) the genetic expression in your polity has more influence on your condition than you do on your condition.

    (g) the left is cognitively female (empathizing) and so will always apply NAXALT intuition and MOTHER intuition instead of empirical evidence at scale: male systematizing. This is what we see. In other words, the mere popular existence of the left’s argument proves our argument.

    Female cognition evolved for a reason and that reason is the polar opposite of the male. And while the male consists largely of over-time-space-and-scale the female is exactly the opposite. Empathic now vs Systemic Then,and we are mutually blind to the temporal division of labor.

    @MaryMort9 @gaiawriter I know the data as well or better than anyone living. And what we have discovered over the past century of experimentation is far worse than the patriarchic presumption of our ancestors. And the present asset of pomo-pc-woke via women has just proven an ancient argument.

    @Sargonofakkad100@Timcast@lotuseaters_com SARGON: The male-conservative axis places intolerance, loyalty-hierarchy, and purity-disgust (pack) as a higher value than female-consumptive tolerance, inclusiveness-equality (herd). This leads to purity spiraling in the community that prevents the libertarian, centrist, rightist side of right-male spectrum from organizing around a strategy. In other words, these nitwits virtue signal by pissing on minor differences in means of organizing. This is why the left wins. They are more cohesive (herd) than the right (packs).

    NOTES:
    Listening to an interview. I don’t perceive many people as particularly intelligent. I do perceive some intelligent people spending more time learning to communicate than others. In the intellectual stratosphere outside the academy, I don’t perceive Langan as extraordinarily intelligent in written or spoken venues, but if he is performing on IQ tests at that level he has far superior associative memory to mine. My ‘talent’ is more that I remember everything, see deep patterns, and I make very few errors because I only can ‘tolerate’ consistency with all other information in memory. Conversely, I don’t have strong lateral associative memory, and I don’t have strong working memory. I am not even sure how I would score on executive function. The people I can observe are quite a bit smarter than I am, fall into two camps at both ends of the spectrum: the working memory of mathematicians and the working memory of verbal contexts: Edward written has extraordinary working memory in mathematics, and Chomsky has extraordinary working memory in narrative construction, and say, Terrance Tau in the middle, and some grandmasters in chess who can do both. In other words, I think of myself as talented. And I think of those men as intelligent. Because, in my opinion, it’s the amount of information and the time held in working memory that constitutes intelligence. I’m more in the Einstein and Darwin camp that one needs a modicum of superior intelligence, but after that, it’s personality traits, and every major accomplishment is just doing more hard work than anyone else is willing to in that field, when there has been a few generations of unsolved problems and hard work by others before you.
