    An Insight Worth Repeating

    —“What I find interesting is that the reproductively favorable traits: Height, Light Skin, Blue Eyes, Blonde Hair, Sociability, Agency, Milk, and Grain tolerance end up in Europeans thus maintaining SIGNAL neoteny without sexual neoteny as in east Asia. Despite the fact that these traits evolved in different places in different groups, europeans collected them. and it’s because of the range of eurasian genetic experimentation in varying climates and conditions. This is one of the key insights I’ve had. East Asians overplayed neoteny. Africans, Austronesians (impulsivity) and Semites underplayed neoteny (aggression). Europeans collected highly desirable features abandoning primitive rapid maturity, deep morphology, and lack of agency (Africa) without sacrificing reproductive desirability (east Asians), or carrying reproductive undesirability to extremes (Australians). In other words, Europeans selected for symbolic neoteny without significant suppression of sexual maturity. Thus creating a balance between impulsive and rapidly maturing Africans, and calm slowly maturing east Asians. It’s like the three little bears: “this one is just right”.”—

  • I don’t hate people…

    I don’t hate people. Hate like anger makes you dim. It makes you care about trivialities. You hate people because you think they have agency – and are in control of themselves. But very few of us have agency, and everyone else is running archaic software that needs an upgrade. From my position of agency, the world is full of children running with scissors. And only men of agency, who create institutions to limit the harm people do to one another are capable of teaching them deliberately in education, normatively by saturation, and legally by the threat of punishment. Men of agency need the power to do that. those who lack agency need to fight to give men of agency the power to do that.

  • IQ is a personality trait…

    IQ is a personality trait, and personality traits the result of brain structure, and brain structure the result of genetics: Ergo Big 5 + IQ = Big 6 + Sex (Amplitude of Sex Differences in Cognition) = Big 7. With Sex < Conscientiousness < IQ dominant in framing ‘higher’ (more valuable) behaviors.

    CAUSALITY (BRAIN)
    Female <-> Male
    Lateral <-> Longitudinal
    Integrated <-> Isolated

    CONSEQUENCE (OPERATION)
    Prey <-> Predator
    Peception <->Action
    Condition <-> Prediction
    Empathic <-> Analytic
    Verbal <-> Spatial

    INFORMATION – DISNFORMATION (BEHAVIOR)
    Intelligence <-> Ineptness
    Introversion <-> Extroversion
    Openness to Novelty <-> Closed to Novelty
    Conscientiousness <-> Impulsivity
    Agreeableness <-> Disagreeableness
    Emotional Stability <-> Neuroticism

  • Interesting note on psychopathy:

    Interesting note on psychopathy: the scope and definition of the term has narrowed over time. The term used generally in the past today would be anti-social behavior, with psychopathy as an extreme.

    But again, AFAIK these behaviors are all caused by:

    1) group differences in neoteny (Pedomorphism) and
    2) group differences in sex (body) gender(mind) dimorphism
    3) group differences in class size, and
    4) reinforcement by ingroup norms.
    5) because of the discount and returns on ingroup association

    In other words, our groups mature at different rates and depths, with greater.
