Everyone is trolling. They are more obvious and not, and more intentional and not. But to some degree we all do nothing but negotiate for our preferences either by shaming, begging, advisin, exchanging, competing, or conquering. 😉

Expanding worldwide demand for stoicism. abrahamism done as political religion. only buddhists and stoics solved mindfulness. only stoics without mysticism. iterative self authoring of goals and virtues substitute for ritual. But personal responsibility for it harder than public.

@curtdoolittle Very similar, yes! I’d love some examples you can think of where Agile’s manifesto sounds like Seneca. @tferriss will be interested in this thread.

AGILE PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT = STOICISM
—“I’m starting a private group to discuss adapting Agile Software Development into Agile Personal Development in an attempt to inject #antifragility into lives, and thus the world.”—Jonathan Wilson
Its stoicism.

Agile manifesto simply tech application of universal frame. not unique. Common before industrialization. Continuous recursive progress with immediate feedback eliminates error early and cheaply, reinforces early and cheaply, and merely restates normal life’s epistemology.

I don’t make mistakes. It’s my job. There is no such thing as ‘group intelligence’. Only individual intelligence, and discounts provided by those methods of communication and calculation we call language, norms, knowledge, that consist of names, properties, relations, values.

NEURAL ECONOMY AND THE FEMALE MIND
—“Women turn more conservative when they have children.”—Martin
Or put another way, women evolved to carry a cognitive load, and will generate demand for that cognitive load, and the signals to reinforce it, in one way or another until they possess it.
It makes evolutionary sense that women who don’t have children would express ‘care’ to all, then express it more exclusively to their children when they have that “inventory” to worry about (expend their caretaking energies).
So women evolved to carry the cognitive load of caring about proportionality and caretaking almost exclusively (the young short term) while men tend to are about the full spectrum of moral intuitions equally (the tribe long term).
Men demand a cognitive load, but it seems less open to substitution than women. Men, we always have the tribe to defend.

A QUOTE: THE PAINFUL TRUTH
—“(
1 – The first question upon which all others depend is why not to suicide? One can choose cooperation with the world, conflict and competition with the world, or boycott of the world. Boycott means suicide. This choice is that of personal philosophy.
2 – The second question upon which all others depend is why engage in cooperation rather than boycott, free riding, parasitism, and predation? One can choose cooperation, predation or boycott of others. Boycott means suicide. This question is that of ethics.
3 – The third question is for the group, and one upon which all others depend is why engage in cooperation rather than boycott, or free riding, parasitism, and predation? This question is that of politics.
4 – There is only one reason for the strong not to kill, enslave, or enserf the weak and to take their land, their women and their things. And that is a condition of perfect reciprocity. For it is the only condition more rewarding and lower cost than predation. The fact that reciprocity is mutually beneficial is but an excuse the weak use to grant themselves the illusion of equality with the strong. For the strong it is only a matter of superior returns, not morality. This is the end result of the three questions of life, ethics, and politics. All others are comforting lies.
5 – One BEGS for Liberty by permission. One FORCES sovereignty at the point of a spear, tip of an arrow, blade of a sword, and barrel of a gun. That’s the difference between failed beggars for liberty and successful warriors for sovereignty.
Eat The Weak.

I want to toss out that we are not only seeing stoicism, not only seeing the expansion of plot arcs, but also seeing the conversion of characters from pure archetypes to sets of archetype properties – in which I see the resurrection of our ancient gods – leaving the degeneracy of ideals behind us.

Wisdom is not law, not command, just wisdom: advice, and choice. Darwin disapproves if we hinder one’s self-selection out of the gene pool.

Small Sample but reflects everything else I see: AGENCY
—“The nature and extent of group differences in pain tolerance according to age, sex and race were examined. The method of pain tolerance determination was mechanical pressure on the Achilles tendon, performed on 41, 119 subjects as part of the Kaiser-Permanente Automated Multiphasic Screening examination. The results showed that, on the average, a) pain tolerance decreases with age; b) men tolerate more pain than women; and c) Whites tolerate more pain than Orientals, while Blacks occupy an intermediate position. When the results of this study are compared with earlier work, it appears that, with increasing age, tolerance to cutaneous pain increases and tolerance to deep pain decreases.”—
