General knowledge (by reading) and practical knowledge (by doing) are the only known ways of improving your demonstrated intelligence. In this sense conscientiousness will increase your demonstrated intelligence if not your physical intelligence How do you improve conscientiousness? Slow down, Focus, Stay in the moment, Don’t stop even when you feel the frustration building, look around, breathe, return to the subject. In other words, you develop “MINDFULNESS”. Mindfulness produces agency.

  • Psychology – Everything Is Here.

    18 OCT, 2018 Archetypes(Myth), MBTI (Literature), BIG5 (Philosophy), Propertarianism (logic) SCALE: ARCHETYPES(Myth), MBTI (Literature), BIG5 (Philosophy), PROPERTARIANISM (logic) Think of MBTI as literature, and BIG5 as Philosophy, and Propertarianism as Logic: Graceful increase and decrease in precision according to the ability of the individual: SATISFACTION OF THE MARKETS FOR COMPREHENSION. AGAIN: MBTI vs BIG5/6 vs MORAL FOUNDATIONS vs GENDER In other words, the principle difference between MBTI and Big 5 are (a) the weight it gives to trait expression, and (b) the principle difference in value is that with 100 Questions we can test your IQ within a half a standard deviation, because all components scale evenly, but we cannot test the rest of your personality traits with so few questions because they do NOT scale evenly. Moreover, MBTI is a WORKPLACE and social weighting of traits, while BIG5 is a THERAPEUTIC weighting of traits. These are differences in value rather than differences in measurement. I was not the first person to make this distinction, but I have written extensively on the fact that while MBTI is imprecise, it is the maximum complexity of a model that individuals can work with in the workplace. We can measure all sorts of trait expression, and even the big 5 FACTORS must be broken down into TRAITS in order to accommodate the difference in factor expression between the GENDERS. DIFFERENCES In this sense MBTI is a better judge of the GENDER biases inherent in cognitive and emotional biases because its fairly obvious that the gender distributions are inverted. Whereas this transparency was only visible in BIG5 after division from Factors into Trait Expressions – and that occurred fairly recently (post 2000), as psychology attempted to reform from a pseudoscience to a science when confronted with imaging, genetic, and pharmaceutical science. [See attached MBTI > Big5 Mapping and P-Physical Maps] MALE RECIPROCITY(OPPORTUNITY) VS FEMALE PROPORTIONALITY (CONSUMPTION) -The Moral Foundations by Gender Bias (M vs F)- SELF (ACTION) – ASCENDENT BIAS 1) (M) Negative Freedom (Liberty) vs (F) Positive Freedom OTHERS FEMALE BIAS – THE HERD 2) (M) Reciprocity (Fairness) vs (F) Proportionality(Equality): rendering justice according to shared rules; opposite of cheating 3) (M) Defense (Negative) vs (F) Care (Positive): cherishing and protecting others; opposite of harm COMMON – ESTABLISHED MALE BIAS – THE PACK 4) (M) Loyalty vs (F) Devotion(Ingroup): standing with your family, group, nation; opposite of betrayal. 5) (M) Authority vs (F) Respect: submitting to tradition and legitimate authority; opposite of subversion 6) (M) Sanctity vs (F) Purity: abhorrence for disgusting things, foods, actions; opposite of degradation. (M) Absorb Cellular Damage. (F) Limit Cellular Damage MORAL FOUNDATIONS BY PROPERTY RIGHT BIAS (POLITICAL BIAS) Of Haidt’s evolutionary origins of moral intuitions, three can be expressed as individual property rights:

    1. Care/harm for others, protecting them from harm. (The asset of life and body.)
    2. Proportionality/cheating, Justice, treating others in proportion to their actions. (The asset of goods.)
    3. Liberty/Oppression, characterizes judgments in terms of whether subjects are tyrannized. (The asset of time, opportunity.)

    And three others can be expressed as community property rights covering social capital. Which obviously enough, have been, and continue to be, mirrored in corporate shareholder agreements.

    1. In-Group Loyalty/In-Group Betrayal to/of your group, family, nation, polity.
    2. Respect/Authority/Subversion for tradition and legitimate authority.
    3. Purity/Sanctity/Degradation/Disgust, avoiding disgusting things, foods, actions.

    It should be noted that the male reproductive strategy among chimpanzees as well as humans evolved to kill off males in opposing groups and collect females. And that females evolved to place greater emphasis on children and females than the (fungible) tribe. As such the distribution of moral intuitions varies in intensity between the feminine (1-3) and the masculine (4-6). This difference in moral intuitions roughly reflects the voting pattern we have seen since the enfranchisement of women into the electorate: an increase in the use of political violence to produce an increase in the female reproductive strategy (individual dysgenic reproduction) and a decrease in the male reproductive strategy (tribal eugenic reproduction). When I first read a paper by Jonathan Haidt, years ago now, I immediately understood the implication. Just as the ten commandments are reducible to “There is but one law: property, and thou shalt not steal”, all our moral rules can be reduced to one: “thou shalt not steal directly or indirectly, by action or inaction.” These rules are genetic in origin. They are necessary and immutable. THREE MEANS OF COERCION Three means of human coercion or more gently, weapons of influence. One more time. Three means of human coercion or more gently, weapons of influence. The Physical: Body and Movement Using Force or Violence The fear of harm or promise of defense. By the Dominant or Established Male The Material: Resources and Opportunity Using Bribe or Trade The fear of loss of gains, or promise of gains By the Brother, Ally, or Ascendant Male The Social: Cooperation and Insurance Using Undermining or Advocacy The fear of ostracization or promise of inclusion By the female and especially dominant female Personality: Big5/6 Personality Traits with 10/12 Personality facets. Where One Traits differs Dominance Expression. Where all Facets differ by Gender Bias. Where all personalities cluster by three types: Dominant or Established Male. Ascendant Male. Female. Gender: Where sex is genetically determined and either male or female. Where the brain evolves a dominant lateral, female, associative (wide association in the present) and longitudinal male a narrow, association over time and space). Where the resulting brain structure favors temporal interpersonal emotion in the female necessary for child rearing, and intertemporal political analytic in the male necessary for holding territory, resources, females, and children from capture by competing males. Where sexual preference is for the opposite sex, either male, female, but a small percentage of the population is subject to developmental defect in utero and can express almost any gender distribution. Conflict: Where developmental defect can cause failure to produce sufficient agency for self control. Where genders demonstrate differences in self control by antisocial, disruptive or hostile behavior. Where females demonstrate sexual, psychological(interpersonal), social(group), antisocial behavior, by continuous undermining and manipulation. Where males demonstrate sexual and physical antisocial behavior by continuous harm to self, others, and property. LEVELS OF ADAPTATION But we have this wonderful adaptive hierarchy available to us. 1) LEVEL ONE (gender bias) {Paternal, Sovereign, Meritocratic, Eugenic, Packs (K)} +

    {Maternal, Collective, Equalitarian, Dysgenic, Herds (R)}

    Adaptive flexibility. 2) LEVEL TWO (dimorphism) {Increased sexual dimorphism, Decreased sexual Dimorphism} + {Increased sexual maturity, Decreased Sexual Maturity} = Adaptive Flexibility 3) LEVEL THREE (redistribution) Normative and Institutional Redistribution of reproduction (shift) + Normative and Institutional Suppression of class reproduction (shift) = Adaptive Flexibility 4) LEVEL FOUR (mating) Assortative mating and Late Marriage vs Arranged Mating and early marriage. = Adaptive Flexibility 5) LEVEL FIVE (signals) Status Signals => Behavioral Expression of Gene Expression = Adaptive Flexibility 6) LEVEL SIX (design) Education, Training, and Genetic Manipulation. = Adaptive Flexibility With these various methods we can produce a population for almost any purpose within a generation or two.

    We are not equal, we are interdependent. We earn respect despite our inequality by doing our duty to our interdependence. We maintain that respect and interdependence with loyalty despite our inequality. We demonstrate the obligation of the nobility, the duty of the citizenry, and this is how we work together. We are an army first and a polity second, a society third, bound by the EQUALITY UNDER OUR LAW despite our inequality in ability and value to one another. And that is our secret. Hence the ‘act like aristocracy’. You must be what you wish to become. Teach men Adversarialism. Teach by (forgiving) king of the hill games.

    —“Do you have any writings/thoughts on Theosophy?”—Bradley Morgan

    I know what what’s going on biologically. I know why it’s addictive. I know how training yourself for that experience rather than say muslim, buddhist or stoic or epicurean experiences, functions and how it differs. I know how drug use, and particularly hallucinogens perform their functions and how that differers. And I know what ‘god’ means in those contexts. And I know how horrifying the truth is for those who seek the spiritual experience by artificially induced, self induced, and group induced means. The rest of it is just the story the ‘users’ use to justify it. The dog can chase it’s tail. One can masturbate or have sex. one can have recreational sex or one can have reproductive sex. Likewise one can use drugs to disconnect from reason, one can practice the submission response to disconnect from reason, one can use social overloading to produce the submission response to disconnect from reason. These are just lies in place of ‘true’ association, attention, status, celebration, and achievement. They avoid the hunt-feast cycle. They seek the nursing cycle instead. Labeling the nursing reaction. Labeling the submission to dominance reaction with fanciful stories is just lying to cover the fact that one is engaged in masturbation. Or one can learn to practice mindfulness, virtue, and agency, and contribute to the world because one is human and can reason. === —“What is the nursing cycle?”—Michael Churchill The (dominance version) wake-hunt-feast-sex-sleep cycle, the predatory search, stalk, pounce, kill, cycle. And the female equivalent of search, evaluate, nurse(care), relax cycle (submissive version) and the child’s nurse version are all variations on the same regulatory cycles with slight variations in chemical composition (prepare the body, and incentivize the brain). We’re just biological machines. We make mechanical sense so to speak. Two sexes. Slightly different cognitive structures. Slightly different reproductive reward systems. Slightly different acquisition reward systems. Fairly different fear systems.

  • The difference is agency.

    May 21, 2020, 11:42 AM Can I say something politically incorrect that’s rather obvious in the political data, that’s made more obvious by the current crisis? Democrats and women are more unhappy and fearful. Conservaties and men are more disgust sensitive and paranoid but less fearful- and much happier. The difference is agency. Evaluate women’s opinions not as truth, or fact, or opinion, but as demand for men to do something to satisfy them. So is the underlying question teaching women how to express themselves in female terms of approval and disapproval, fear and want, rather than attempting to teach women to think in truth and fact? I mean, that’s what the postmodern program is about right?
