Do you want brothers in escape, brothers in safety, brothers in comfort, brothers in values, or brothers in action?

Curt: “That’s ridiculous. Do women ever understand men? At all?”
Woman: “No. We aren’t taught and we don’t understand strategy. We just use tactics over and over again to get what we want. Men only use strategy.”
Curt: “Because we don’t have the impulses to behave otherwise.”
It’s a bi-direction problem. The fact that we can speak in the same language, and can cooperate, obscures our vast differences in perception, cognition, forecasting, valuation, and consequent actions actions.

Agency, like Knowledge, and Truth Proper, and the speed of light, is something we seek more and more of but cannot ever perfectly attain – unless we in fact become gods.

Contrary to Pinker’s “Better Angels of Our Nature”, all that occurs as we either gain intelligence or gain income, is that we** shift the means of predation** upon others up the chain of complexity and indirection.
Here is a simple series of the means by which we commonly increase the complexity of parasitism and predation upon one another:
Murder -> Violence -> Theft -> Fraud -> Fraud by Hazard Creation -> Free Riding -> Privatization of Commons, Socialization of Losses -> Fraud, Hazard and Privatization through Financialization -> Fraud, Hazard and Privatization through Proceduralization -> Fraud, hazard, and Privatization by Damage to the Informational Commons (“propaganda, advertising, public intellectual pseudoscience”) -> Material Conspiracy -> Political Rent Seeking -> Political Corruption -> Coup or Conquest.
So yes. And some well known groups specialize in persuasive but hazard producing pseudoscience, pseudorationalism, and propaganda. Particularly by utilizing the frailty of the law to ally with the government against the people.

CONTINUING MY ATTACK ON MALE ESCAPISM
(leave escapism for women. they have an excuse. men don’t.)
I think most young men lack agency, and that we all evolve from impulsive to imitative, to intuitionistic to calculative as we move from searching for strategy, retreat, for opportunities, consolidating capital, and managing our assets.
I think that stating man has universals rather than stages is the result of youthfulness (ignorance).
I think the state indoctrination program seeks to create obedience to free expression without explication of the limits of that value.
I think that seeking universals is an appeal for numbers (allies) to compensate for lack of agency.
I think that individualism and atomism is why men seek these things since men only possess agency in groups.
I think it is possible to produce agency and eliminate escapism in all its forms by producing groups and agency, by design (as we did in the past).
(BTW: I was trying to explain the draw of the ‘almost religious’ and ‘religious’ methods of emotional inspiration as substitution for pursuit of existential opportunity. It’s not about individuals but that individuals are easily seduced by false promises.)
