    (Diary)
    I don’t have many days dedicated to ‘think days’. When I ran companies I would have think days, weeks, or even a whole month. When I would buy a company or start one I usually spent about a month or so planning it out in my usually painful detail.
    But think days are important. Days where you ensure you have the “head space” open, free of distractions or concerns.
    Today I set aside to think about a certain aspect of my work – and how to deliver it, now that my health, then my faculties, and finally my emotions have returned to a state where I can.
    Prior to the covid and post-covid illness, I would script out podcasts and videos and record them semi-professionally – at least given the circumstances available to me at the time.
    And while the team and I record hours and hours of ad-hoc and live videos, It’s about time to return producing scripted content again – despite the time required to do so. Especially given that I’ve sort of ‘gone public’ with the recent videos on the sex differences in cognition, and the feminine-abrahamic-marxist method of antisocial behavior, sedition, and warfare.
    I suspect that given the majority of the work Brad and I have done during my recovery has resulted in the work being easier to understand. So part of the reason for scripted content is testing whether that’s true or not.
    Despite hours of my work on the foundations of language, logic, grammar, cognition, and neuroscience, those videos do not seem to attract much attention.
    The same goes for my work on ‘The Choice’ – what to do in our present circumstance.
    And I suspect that (a) we are still heavily suppressed, but (b) I suspect the content is still too difficult for many potential audiences (c) And that even the constitution is too detailed, and as such only the summary of the policies are what they care about – not the science and logic that explains it.
    Cheers

    Is repentance is a self reflection that alters the course of action, similarly to how altruistic punishment provokes retaliatory action? I am not sure how to operationally incorporate a self reflection. Or, are you saying we should, in the section on behavior, cover the suite of positives and negatives that manage guilt (debt) vs virtue (credit)? I mean, that’s what the ‘soul’ is – our self accounting of social debts and credits.

  • The TLDR; Answer One cannot control one’s race and little more control over one’

    The TLDR; Answer
    One cannot control one’s race and little more control over one’s religion and culture – they are learned too early, forming too much of the base of the cognitive arbor.

    Activists, Intellectuals, Academics, Politicians, Bureaucrats, credentialists, virtue-signalers DO have control over causing admixture of people of different races, religions, and cultures. And it’s in their interest to create conflict only authority (them) can provide.

    As such solving the problem of the people who make the problem is different from criticizing the involuntary in the hope one can convert them, OR that the above mentioned self interested parties will somehow work against their interests and in favor of yours.

    In other words,, attacking the little people doesn’t help the platform assist in influencing the commons, but attacking the creators of the problem helps the platform in its mission of influencing the commons.

    In other words, fight the right battle. Otherwise you’re a sucker for the left’s baiting you into hazard, making you the problem not the elites who create the problem.

    Jon Haidt (@JonHaidt) with his usual compassionate delivery of uncomfortable but honest explanations and criticisms, takes on the delay and destruction of the development of executive function by phone and social media in everyone born after 1996.

    Watch him on Triggernometry:
    https://t.co/tyTtBfItT2

    I want to emphasize his correct framing and diagnosis: the impediment of the development of executive function: this is producing the failure of cognitive adulthood because their social and self regulatory ability doesn’t exist.

    ~”There is no way to make the time children spend on the phone better for them and safety for them. It can’t be done.”~

    ~”The norm needs to be the organic development of executive function through the end of puberty – where the prefrontal cortex is formed from 11-25.”~

    I’ll address what I’ve discovered in my own work in a repost of this one in order to maintain emphasis on Jon’s work.
