    SOME 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.

    Do you think females think about sh-t testing men, undermining dominance hierarchies, raiding status through undermining others by gossiping, shaming, moralizing, psychologizing, outraging, ridicule, and rallying? No. It’s genetic disposition.
    (((They))) are cognitively female.

    NO, SERVICE ISN’T ENOUGH.

    —“Curt, I’m sure you’d agree, some of our most gallant, extraordinary soldiers, black & brown, native American, come from the worst of ghettos, in every state, every large or small city, maybe, speaking of history, even the war fighter in the tomb of the unknown came from there?”—

    Sure. Although the majority come from intergenerational military families. And sure, you can try to spin my work as other than ‘If you can’t fit into anglo rule-of-law middle class civilization, and you vote the left in to undermine it, then your military service is irrelevant.”

    All NAXALT arguments are attempts at deception. Statements of distributions are true if they describe the area under the distribution. I don’t care about race but people vote almost entirely by it, and have made race an existential construct – in a war on the american experiment.

    So, extending the franchise to non-propertied (non-business owners) was instituted as a means of choosing priorities for the allocation of scarce revenues to the production of commons in common interest. It was not an invitation to destroy the American experiment in a third way.

    And the Left is desperately chasing the false promise that they can be free of genetic, sexual, social, economic and political market value in a world where the european civilizational windfall has been spent on dragging the world out of communism, socialism, and now islamism.

    We have the most ignorant generation in almost two centuries for a reason: by design of the left to manufacture useful idiots under the postwar false promise that their evolutionary condition was a product of oppression rather than market value to others.

    And since evidence has falsified marxism, socialism, and science has falsified feminism, postmodernism, and denial of our substantial differences in gender, class, and race, other than invasive immigration the west would have survived the 20th century of social pseudoscience.

    So we can’t let you take the rest of us down with us.

    It’s over. The century of false promise is over. You killed democracy. And it will die with your names on it for eternity.

    There will be no second fall of the Roman Empire – this time by pseudoscience instead of theology.

    THREAT PERCEPTION IN INTERNET AGE

    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.
