    Demonstrably speaking, men trust what they control; bet on possibilities of returns; report preference and belief they don’t demonstrate; and use undemonstrated belief to avoid saying “i don’t trust you”.

    Differences create potential opportunities create adaptive stresses. So the question is how to also train us (stoicism, epicureanism) to prefer adaptive stresses, rather than to ignore them (buddhism) or (equality, christianity, islamism) to resist them. Answer is obvious.

    @curtdoolittle Yes. I found that high trust allows technology jumps while low(er) trust result in incremental improvements on person by person basis. Not sure which is better. Maybe half half?

    From Uncle Eli Harman:

    Woman: “My husband is like one more child…”

    Me, an Intellectual: “Literally all your faculties evolved to deal with children, so if all you have is a hammer…”

    ANALYSIS

    1) women control 80% of household spending

    2) women control 70% of retail spending

    3) women control 70% of government resources

    Men give women their resources and want something for them. Women consume give their children, or give to child substitutes, like pets or ‘the disadvantaged’, those resources. and expect only their own psychological rewards for having done so. The relationship between men and women is not equal.

    WOMEN NOW BLAME THE PATRIARCH (MEN) INSTEAD OF THE DEVIL

    —“Women are higher in empathizing on the empathy/systems spectrum. This makes them more likely to attribute some will to mere emergent properties of systems (like nature). This makes them more religious. Except now they don’t blame the devil but the patriarchy.”—Martin Štěpán

    Well, just testing the waters. There is an elegant structure to your thought worth investigating. I think I understand your personal ethics and we all justify that which we are most comfortable with. Choice of Law, Philosophy, and Theology mirror our Choice of Responsibility.

    @curtdoolittle Yeah, after perusing some of your work I don’t think we’re going to see eye to eye on much.

    Q: “When will women be human? When?” asked feminist legal theorist, Catharine A. MacKinnon, in a 1999 essay.

    A: When Truth, Productive and Accumulative, and Eugenic, take precedence over Approval, Consumption and Dysgenia.

    WHY MISOGYNY? Presumption: Why do women confuse rejection, disapproval, restraint from ir-reciprocity with emotional disapproval (hate)? Why do women not argue truth or falsehood, reciprocity vs reciprocity? Why do women engage in endless conflict by Undermining … vs Exchange?

    Why do women consider emotions a cost? Example: “These asymmetrical moral support relations may be instantiated in many different ways” …Asymmetrical accumulation of cellular damage may be instantiated in many different ways. That’s why men die earlier. How are they equivalent?

    “… serves to police and enforce these social roles…” Or serves to constrain female hyperconsumption,hypergamy, undermining, and involuntary transfer of resources from males through preservation of reciprocity (exchanges).

    Men = Material Economics,Physics, Constraint (Reals)

    Women = Emotional Economics, Manipulation, Consumption (feels).

    “M:Stress over failing to advance” versus “F:Fear of being left behind”.

    Kate: study physics, economics, cognitive science, and developmental biology emphasizing gender and class differences. Then study the differences in mental illness, anti-social behavior, and conflict between men and women instead of philosophy: the language of sophism and deceit.

    What does Moral mean? It can only mean reciprocity (voluntary exchange) within limits of proportionality (defection). Normative morals vary because reciprocal traditions vary. Personal moral bias is just a demonstration of Class, Gender, Gender Expression and Sexual Market Value.

    Envy, Revolt against Nature. Demand for greater gains for less contributions. Yes. But the west advanced beyond the rest by legal sovereignty, reciprocity, truth before face, judgement by jury, and resulting markets in all aspects of life – domesticating (Eugenics) the worst.

    Our success that made women’s ‘liberation’ from household chores, and productive enough to hire substitute mothers, was the product of 1500+years of eugenics, as much as it was our strange male obsession with truth reciprocity and institutions of continuous competition.

    —“It also emerges that the failure to recognize women as human”– No, just that women are unequal to men in the foundations of european successes: truth, reciprocity, duty, markets, and meritocracy, and so far have demanded concessions in every aspect of life to accommodate.

    I mean, this is another use of Female Gossiping, Shaming, Ridiculing, Moralizing, Psychologizing, Suggestion, Obscurantism, Sophism and Critique (straw manning) completely ignoring both truth vs falsehood and the necessity of cooperative exchange vs gender specific ideals.

    So in other words, this book demonstrates the second Abrahamic (sophomoric) attempt to undermine western civlization: Monotheism in the old world, then Marxism, Feminism, Postmodernism, and ‘Denialism’ now – more embarrassing by far than pretense of religious dogma.

    If you can’t make a moral argument in economic terms either you lack the intellectual ability or you are engaging in some for of fraud by deceit. This is yet another book doing the latter. And then feminists wonder why men are losing patience with the experiment of the franchise.

    I am aware that it’s an uneven contest but I’ll happily debate anyone intellectually honest: Women are excessively privileged, and failing to learn, just like all other peoples have failed to learn, from the lessons of european achievement in the ancient and modern world: Trade.Updated Oct 15, 2019, 6:04 PM

    (higher knowledge meaning the ability to practice free association(knowledge) and sedation(happiness) through pursuit of the ecstasy of surrender-of-the-will-to-running-with-the-pack (spirituality), and to habituate that feeling as one’s ‘normal’ condition is not unscientific nor mystical. It’s that the feeling of occult, and mystery is the feeling of running with the pack which is about the safest feeling we can experience, and it’s why animals run in packs, or flocks, or whatever other order they group into.So whether you story-tell some silly stuff, or simply practice it as a discipline, is only material to the externalities caused by the fiction or the truth.)

    CONSIOUSNESS

    Consciousness: awareness of change in state of self (non-body), of spatial model of self (body), of space around self, of objects in the space around self, of place and location, of others, as the spatial movement of others, and the model in the mind of others. This is the sixth sense (biologically it is, this is how the mind constructs experience – just like a 3d video game.).

    We can imitate (act masculine bias), sympathize (incentives), empathize (feelings – feminine bias).

    We divide the the world into locations, boundaries, objects, places within the location (space), direction of movement, head direction, speed, and distance.

    We do this all predictively with about two seconds to compose a context, and updated about every tenth of a second.

    So we are continually predicting everything including the actions (imitation), thoughts (sympathy) and feelings (empathy) of others.

    The male brain is specialized from back to front (speed) indepdendent of empathy, and the female brain is specialized laterally (context) independent of speed. All of us vary from masculine to feminine brain structures. This difference is large, and I think it’s on the scale of 1.5SD. Empathizing is time consuming. And it biases you to consensus, just as systematizing is consuming but biases you to truth. This is why women are better at telling you what an individual thinks or feels, and men are better at predicting the behavior of groups. (about .2-.6SD) averaged, with wide variation in individuals.

    So the female mind process vastly more information and communicates vastly more information between individuals and the male mind is far more concerned with groups and urgencies.

    In otther words, ancient stereotypes are correct. Like all stereotypes – they are the most accurate measure in the social sciences.
