    It’s genetic. You have low T. You hyper-evolved submissiveness and over-extended Neoteny. You are a nation of status conscious petty women, who must have consensus because you lack the honor and truth to negotiate compromise. This is why your plans to rule the world will fail.

    @goldfieldcuckoo You failed because chinese people are ‘petty’, like women. You do face-before-truth, like women. Your pride is easily offended like women. You feel the need for power instead of honest business – like women. You don’t trust – like women. You cheat – like women. (You have low T.)

  • We must be patient

    May 1, 2020, 12:12 PM [S]ometimes parents must be patient with their children; spouses must be patient with their mates; teachers must be patient with students; executives must be patient with their employees. Because we all must ‘own’ our decisions and our status-self-image system, as well as our cognitive investment in current network of ideas, plans, and habits resists pressure to adapt – except at our own speed and on our own terms. So people must own their adaptation – because they must weigh the costs and benefits and come to own their choices. Sometimes it takes minutes, sometimes hours, sometimes months, and sometimes years. So plant seeds rather than persuade, convince, or coerce. And leave the door open. And resist the call of pride in saying “I told you so”. Instead deliver the reward of “I hoped you would.”
