  • Being Left Behind

    The degree to which the cognitively female mind calculates and intuits the possibility of ‘being left behind’ is beyond conservative comprehension. They obsess about being left behind the way we obsess about being out-competed..

    —“Rooted in their fear of the unknown. Which is invisible to those who don’t see the unknown; rather to them, the future exists as a collection of probabilities.”—Andrew M Gilmour

    —“Left behind is a cousin of loss of face – think of it as facets of social life. Hypergamy – why is my husband unable to provide like my friends husband? Left behind – I can’t/don’t want to provide for myself / I need or man or a tribe of men via the state to provide for me and mine (female solipsism allows them to be ok with this without shame as a man would). Loss of face – my husband and cheated on me with my girlfriends and all my friends know and didn’t tell me.”—by Gary Knight

  • Threat Perception in Internet Age

    Feb 1, 2020, 8:43 PM by Bill Joslin I think the threat detection issue spans the entire political, soci-economic bell curve. i think think this stems from “threat signal saturation”. I suspect threat saturation disrupts friend foe identification. friend foe identification expresses differently across the bell curves – The left has an inverted identification – where in-group competitive drives supersede predator proximity drives. And the right has an amplified “err on the side of false positives” where proximity sensitivity becomes applied to friends. In both cases this results in a positive feedback loop which exacerbates the problem. We live with a nightmarish degree of anomie – social instability resulting from a breakdown of standards and values. In rat utopia, normie rats in proximity to the beautiful ones display this behavior – obsessive territorial marking – because they lose the ability to tell the difference from fellow colony marking from adversarial markings.

  • The time has come once again to set limits.

    Feb 2, 2020, 9:14 AM (re-post from ban) Imitate Jesus. There wasn’t much better advice. I’ve harped on it here for a while, but this requires re-telling. Jesus imitation offers the best strategy for those that lack agency. And in his time; that was damn near every soul. The low/no-agency Jesus strategy works in low-trust and high-trust systems/situations. But, please understand at the time of emergence it was ONLY patriarchal systems of order in which to navigate. The foundation for an agency-less ethic to disperse to an underclass was sorely lacking. When there is proper order, acceptance and maintenance of that order is needed. With the Jesus trick one is sure not to run afoul of those with more power (specifically in ways that could get you picked out of the herd and culled). This allows one to stick around long enough to develop agency of their own. But, in a landscape of chaos (currently caused by over-order and over-abundance of information lacking coherence and salience) the Jesus trick only allows for further entropy. In times where order needs to be created the creator’s son falls short of the mark [his trick doesn’t multiply/no breeding]: By: James Thomson (d. 1882)

    “This poor sexless Jew, with a noble feminine heart, and a magnificent though uncultivated and crazy brain, did no work to earn his bread; evaded all social and political responsibilities, took no wife and contemned his own family; lived [as] a vagabond, fed and housed by charity (if by miracle, it is clear that we cannot imitate him: would that we could!); uttered many beautiful and even sublime moral truths and more impracticable precepts; preached continually himself, and faith in himself alone as the one thing necessary; and died with the lamentable cry of womanish desperation, perhaps the most significant confession in history of a life of supreme self-illusion laid bare to itself at the point of death. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? He founded a sect which holds him up as the Great Exemplar of mankind, and scarcely one member of which even tries to tread in his footsteps. I have much love and reverence for him as a man; but am quite certain that if everyone really set about following his example, the world (which is surely mad enough already) would soon be one vast Bedlam broken loose.”

    Jesus provides an imitation model for the ideal under-class citizen {That is ANY dependent: men/women that lack agency, disabled, children, etc.} but, doesn’t set up an iterative, imitable, image for those needing to create order. See, in order creation, what IS isn’t enough. If it were, we wouldn’t be driven to produce. In a situation that needs order more of those able to unfurl order in the cosmic space are necessary one must be able to produce. We ought not have incentives that favor consumers but producers. It is irresponsible to imitate Jesus as you ought to do more than sacrifice yourself to the greater “good”{as right now it’s the greater BAD} of humanity. As humanity isn’t what it was; and to sacrifice yourself to it (for their sins) isn’t heroic anymore but moronic; they’re undeserving and spoiled {NOT oppressed}. They know EXACTLY what they do; and if they don’t it’s a failure on their behalf to correct for the error {you have the internet and the worlds information at your finger-tips; ignoramus}[if you’d like to place the blame on the system, fine, but you best not be a part of it]. We are now at a point in time where we ought to be saying do as Jesus said; not as he did [calculate like Jesus]. And we ought to be picking out specific instances to pull from: We need the Jesus that flipped over tables and scolded the higher-ups of the day; we need the Jesus that proclaimed “go forth and multiple,” we need the Jesus that spat out the lukewarm, we need the Jesus that warns us of God coming back with that flaming sword of Truth to do some swift re-ordering… the tolerance isn’t (for)bearable any longer! It’s irresponsible to act in this naive manner: forbearing for those that will surely act irreciprocal when given the chance. Irreciprocity IS immoral and to roll out the red carpet for its manifestation is suicide. To extend tolerance to those that will use tolerance against you to undermine and usurp your position is not kind, it isn’t Jesus like; it’s immoral, an insane display of ineptness and it’s no better if it’s innate {your instinct to allow others to walk all over you; agreeable; feminine}. The time has come once again to set limits. And as man is the measure of all things; it is he that ought to set those limits. And those limits ought to lead to the form and function of a flourishing culture. One that preserves its landscape of Jesus-like emergence as opposed to dismantling that very landscape in His name.’

  • SOME COGNITIVE BIASES TO CONSIDER 😉

      False uniqueness bias …The tendency of people to see their projects and themselves as more singular than they actually are. False consensus effect … The tendency for people to overestimate the degree to which others agree with them Bandwagon effect … The tendency to do (or believe) things because many other people do (or believe) the same. Related to groupthink and herd behavior Empathy gap … The tendency to underestimate the influence or strength of feelings, in either oneself or others Groupthink … Where the desire for harmony or conformity in the group results in an irrational or dysfunctional decision-making outcome. Shared information bias … The tendency for group members to spend more time and energy discussing information that all members are already familiar with (i.e., shared information), and less time and energy discussing information that only some members are aware of (i.e., unshared information). Illusion of asymmetric insight …People perceive their knowledge of their peers to surpass their peers’ knowledge of them Illusion of transparency … People overestimate others’ ability to know themselves, and they also overestimate their ability to know others. Dunning–Kruger effect … The tendency for unskilled individuals to overestimate their own ability and the tendency for experts to underestimate their own ability Curse of knowledge … When better-informed people find it extremely difficult to think about problems from the perspective of lesser-informed people Illusory superiority … Overestimating one’s desirable qualities, and underestimating undesirable qualities, relative to other people. (Also known as “better-than-average effect”, or “superiority bias”.) Naïve realism … The belief that we see reality objectively and without bias; that the facts are plain for all to see; that rational people will agree with us; and that those who don’t are either uninformed, lazy, irrational, or biased. Just-world hypothesis … The tendency for people to want to believe that the world is fundamentally just, causing them to rationalize an otherwise inexplicable injustice as deserved by the victim(s). Ambiguity effect … The tendency to avoid options for which the probability of a favorable outcome is unknown Anchoring …. The tendency to rely too heavily, or “anchor”, on one trait or piece of information when making decisions (usually the first piece of information acquired on that subject) Doubling Down … Or Backfire effect. The reaction to disconfirming evidence by strengthening one’s previous beliefs.

  • Unregulated (Without Limits) Women

    Feb 3, 2020, 7:07 AM by Eliza Thentor I realised this is my conflict with my daughter. ” Unregulated women ” . She is surrounded by girls who are much much less regulated than she is, and many are spoiled. One particular, who I thought, after a few conversations with mother, that mother was very shallow and something was not right. I learned last week, the woman has been years on anti-anxiety tablets and could not stay at home and therefore “had” to go to work because of muh anxiety and depression. This mother showers the girl with lots lots of money, out of guilt. So I try to regulate my daughter (as I come from a military father who regulated us) and she causes a big confusion at home, because her friends probably nag her or give her “advice” about me on the phone.
