    THERE IS ONLY ONE CULT AMONG MEN.
    The initiatic brotherhood of warriors.
    Everything else is a substitute for the weak.

    Just want to take a moment to point out that Overton Window of Fashion passed ‘The Sartorialist’ by last year. Men are becoming men again. it’s just SLOWLY happening.

    We we men. We’re slow that way.

    WE DON’T HAVE TO DEHUMANIZE SJWs ONLY EXPLAIN WHY THEY ARE NPC’s.

    Um. They don’t have to dehumanize SJWs. Because if Agency demarcates humans from animals, then they were never human in the first place and all this discourse is really fruitless because NPC’s (Those Lacking Agency) can’t in fact choose. Only follow instructions (scripts.)

    HUMANS WRITE CODE, NPC’S RUN CODE

    #NPC It’s much easier for Neuro-Commoners to be infected by the NPC Virus. They have less if any agency, and are dependent upon one another for scripts they can run. Humans write code. NPC’s run code.

  • Lean Mean Information Processing Machines

    —“Researchers discovered Aspergers individuals scores are much higher when they are evaluated by a test called Ravens Progressive Matrices, which encompasses reasoning, novel problem-solving abilities, and high-level abstraction. By comparison, scores for non-Aspergers individuals are much more consistent across different tests. Interestingly, Asperger participants performance on Ravens Matrices was associated with their strongest peaks of performance on the traditional Wechsler. A previous study by the same group found very similar results for autistic individuals as well, whose peaks of ability are perceptual, rather than verbal as in Asperger individuals. This observation suggests that individuals with autism spectrum disorders have a common information processing mechanism for different aspects of information (verbal vs. perceptual).”—

  • The Power of Personality: Predicting Important Life Outcomes

    October 11th, 2018 9:46 PM http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1745-6916.2007.00047.x

    The Power of Personality: The Comparative Validity of Personality Traits, Socioeconomic Status, and Cognitive Ability for Predicting Important Life Outcomes Brent W. Roberts, Nathan R. Kuncel, Rebecca Shiner, … First Published December 1, 2007 Research Article https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1745-6916.2007.00047.x Abstract The ability of personality traits to predict important life outcomes has traditionally been questioned because of the putative small effects of personality. In this article, we compare the predictive validity of personality traits with that of socioeconomic status (SES) and cognitive ability to test the relative contribution of personality traits to predictions of three critical outcomes: mortality, divorce, and occupational attainment. Only evidence from prospective longitudinal studies was considered. In addition, an attempt was made to limit the review to studies that controlled for important background factors. Results showed that the magnitude of the effects of personality traits on mortality, divorce, and occupational attainment was indistinguishable from the effects of SES and cognitive ability on these outcomes. These results demonstrate the influence of personality traits on important life outcomes, highlight the need to more routinely incorporate measures of personality into quality of life surveys, and encourage further research about the developmental origins of personality traits and the processes by which these traits influence diverse life outcomes.
