    (I think it’s that bad parenting will make you worse, high investment parenting buys a discount on access to careers, and continuous family investment concentrates wealth over generations, but otherwise, genes determine outcomes, and early variance will dissipate on maturity.)

    Hey man, have you ever heard of child-to-parent effects, the nonexistence of gene-environment interactions, and the folly of relying on anecdotal evidence?

    We say parenting doesn’t really matter because it doesn’t. https://t.co/OtWURblUpl

    @Clark_Kent@PoisonDartPepe

    Ok, so your underlying argument is that man will not adapt to circumstances by adapting his moral intuition to reflect demands of the circumstances. And you’re somehow equating the current high returns for nerds with the problem of an underclass whose rate of learning is just too low and too costly for any of the work that can be done in an advanced society. In other words, the problem is the size of the underclass (unproductive classes), which in this period are different from past periods. Thirdly I think you are equating neoteny (domestication) with talents (eugenics). So I mean, I think what I hear is that I haven’t done a good enough (or simple enough) job explaining that set of causal axis for people unfamiiar with the science.
    1. Neoteny (time to mature)
    2. Ability (physical, emotional, intellectual)
    3. Gender differences in ability and bias (dimorphic distribution)
    4. Population Distribution of abilities (physical, emotional, intellectual) given the width of the std deviation of the population. (narrower is better, by pruning the bottom.)

    History is pretty clear about the lord of the flies.
    I am confident that man is amoral and will adapt his morality to circumstances – or at least enough of them will.
    I don’t think ability is malleable, I think moral intuition is malleable.

    @Clark_Kent@PoisonDartPepe The only possible answer yu would have is that people are just imitative monkeys, or semi domesticated animals and are unable to adapt their behavior by reason given the current condition rather than being robots.

    @Clark_Kent @PoisonDartPepe You seem (oddly) to be of the opinion that despite all of human history, it is not possible for men to engage in production as well as police the commons and fight in war, as if people are widgets that cannot perform multiple functions – despite the historical record of the opposite. Markets are competitive. Politics is competitive. Policing is competitive. War is Competitive. Men can either compete and not parasitically depend upon others, or they cannot. That is evolution’s judgement.

  • COMPETITION, COMPETITION EVERYWHERE, AND NOT AN INDEX (MEASUREMENT) TO BE FOUND.

    COMPETITION, COMPETITION EVERYWHERE, AND NOT AN INDEX (MEASUREMENT) TO BE FOUND.

    You see, ‘you’ as in what you perceive as the self, are continually presented with competitions from which you (we) select winners. In the case of voluntary action, if you conceive of it, it’s already pre-processed and you simply ‘let the greyhound out of the box’ to act.

    In every human era we develop models. we are still working with the physical machine model of the brain, the electrical model of thought, the justificationary model in logic – but these are not how anything in nature or man operates. Instead, nature uses competition. And everything we do is not maintained against a MEASUREMENT but against COMPETING forces. This is one of the most important lessons I’m trying to teach you in the Course “Foundations”. There is no memory of things, but of the prediction of things. There is no plan of action, but competing plans of action. There is no BASELINE or prescription for a human being – other than survival and reproduction. Our thoughts are not linear but infinitely recursive with a slow forgetting curve that we perceive as ‘us’ (our conscious self), that is maintained as a continuous circuit in very evident and obvious areas of the brain.

    –“basal ganglia primarily in action selection – in helping to decide which of several possible behaviors to execute at any given time. In more specific terms, the basal ganglia’s primary function is likely to control and regulate activities of the motor and premotor cortical areas so that voluntary movements can be performed smoothly. Experimental studies show that the basal ganglia exert an inhibitory influence on a number of motor systems, and that a release of this inhibition permits a motor system to become active. The “behavior switching” that takes place within the basal ganglia is influenced by signals from many parts of the brain, including the prefrontal cortex, which plays a key role in executive functions.”—

    @baerdric That’s a sophistry of ideal truths. Ideal truths are not resources available for action and apply to disputes over preference given low or no temporal demand. Action is a temporal demand. Market goods exist or not. Conflating an ideal intemporal good with a real temporal good is not a mistake it’s an act of fraud. I specialize in exposing, disambiguating, and defeating the abrahamic method of lying by the technique you are making use of. Don’t waste my time. You are using (a) pretense your opinion has value, or that your approval is meaningful as other than someone who will fight or not, and (b) pretense of knowledge of a good you have no knowledge of, properties to advance, or criticisms to levy, so straw men are straw men, and you’re insulting my intelligence and wasting my time and poisoning the well for others who are seeking actionable solutions to the problem of our age. So try the mirror of intellectual honesty and see what you might find there other than someone saying “i want to believe I am in control of myself, my life, my polity and my people’. Man up. Show up. Fight. We win. Massage your ego in private. Are we clear now? Good. Thanks.

    (…more)

    There is and can never be equality. The demand for equality is to devolve mankind to one’s own lowest level – as an animal. The demand of aristocracy is to evolve mankind into one’s own level – transcend the animal into reason. THe anglo enlightenment experiment has been one of attempting to raise man into an ‘aristocracy of everyone’ and it has failed because only our kin appear able to do so – and even then some men and many women resist it.

    The reason Jewish Christians are “Cucks’ and do not fight against the enemy is because their debt, loyalty, and fealty, is to the ancestral enemy of our people – and not to Family, Kith, Kin, Nature, Excellence and heroism, Truth and Duty, Sovereignty and Reciprocity, Jury and Law and Markets in Every Aspect of Life.

    The reason Aryan Christians are ‘not cucks’ is that we fight against the enemy because our debt, loyalty, reality is to our ancestors, Family, Kith, Kin, Nature, Excellence and heroism, Truth and Duty, Sovereignty and Reciprocity, Jury and Law and Markets in Every Aspect of Life.

    Choose Aryan Christianity of Kin and our persistence, or Semitic Christianity of the Enemy against our kin and your extermination.

    I am An Aryan, An Aristotelian, A Heathen, A Christian.

    Because that is all I can be, while maintaining the debt, loyalty, and fealty to my kin, my people, my ancestors, nature, the universe, and transcendence of man into the great gods our ancients imagined.

    CHOOSE ARYAN CHRISTIAN OF KIN OR SEMITIC CHRISTIAN AGAINST THEM (updated) I am, first, and foremost a follower of Natural Law. 1) An Aryan(The primacy of man, heroism, excellence, reciprocity, truth before face, aristocratic egalitarianism), 2) A Pagan (Student and debtor to the heroes of history) 2) An Aristotelian(Naturalism, Truth regardless of cost), and 3) A Heathen (Debt only to Nature and Ancestors, Ward of Nature). I cannot be those things, if I practice the supernatural over the natural, the irrational over the rational, and false debt over existential debt. I can however, be: 4) a scientific and rational christian, if I have adopted the teaching of christianity: i) the eradication of hatred from the human heart. ii) the extension of kinship love to non-kin. iii) the demand for personal acts of charity and personal cost, iiii) the extension of exhaustive forgiveness before punishment, enserfment, enslavement, death, or war. iv) faith in the success of having done so, for me and my people despite the risk and cost. These are truths. And no claim of truth nor good can require I: a) abandon the difference between man and animal by abandoning reason; b) claim belief in a falsehood; c) owe debt, loyalty, or fealty to other than my kith and kin. Yet it is Abrahamic Semitism that asks (a) abandon reason, (b) claim belief in falsehood, and (c) owe debt loyalty or fealty to other than my kith and kin. The Semitic technique of Abrahamic lying is: (a) False promise(lying), (b) Sophism(lying), (c) Straw Manning(lying), (d) Critique (lying), GSRRM(avoiding truth), (e) Denial(lying), (f) in exchange for ‘membership’ in a false family whose common interests is propagation of the lie, false promise, sophism, straw manning, critique, GSRRM, and denial. There is no difference between: (a) Judaism, (c) Christianity, (c) Islam and; (b) Marx-Freud-Frankfurt-Derrida et al: the marxists, socialists, psychologists, sociologists, feminists, postmodernists, denialists, and politically corrects (truth suppression) The First wave of Abrahamists created (a) Judaism to undermine, (b) Christianity to undermine further, and (c) Islam to conquer the undermined and weakened. … Against Aristocracy Reciprocity, Law, Commerce, and Reason. The Second wave of Abrahamists replaced religion of the supernatural false promise, sophism, critique, and denial, with two attempts: (a) first Abrahamic pseudoscientific false promises sophism critique, and denial in marxism-socialism-freudianism-feminism. (b) then the Abrahamic sophistic false promises sophism critique, and denial with postmodernism, neo-liberalism, and political correctness. … Against Reciprocity, Law, Commerce, and (Darwin!). Why? “The desire for equality under poverty, monopoly under the herd, authority over markets, and feminine dysgenia over masculine eugenia.: “The Mindless Equalitarian Dysgenic Herd.” (more….)

    YOUR FRAME IS UTILITARIAN AND CORRESPONDS TO YOUR DEGREE OF AGENCY, AND YOUR AGENCY YOUR DEMONSTRATED ABILITY

    Points of view don’t matter. Votes do. Money does. Budgets do. Demographic distribution does. “Our” folk are a for profit polity. Eliminate the others, eliminate political competition for power, restore the constitution and natural law so these things must be negotiated, and we’re all good.

    The right uses data. They just use HYPERBOLE to illustrate the kantian imperative of ‘what if a lot of people do this”? and that’s why they (we) use hyperbole. Because it changes the MORAL INTERPERSONAL CONTEXT into the POLITICAL CONTEXT.

    So I disagree.

    Empirical is empirical is empirical.
    Period.

    We frame our world by our agency. Those of us who have had power and responsibility and wealth think at political and economic scale. SImple people don’t.

    That’s why we have middle class philosophy and aristocratic class law, and lower class religion: differences in agency and different demands from our peers. simple, market, and political
