—“Is cooperation with the natural dominance (competence) hierarchy more rewarding than predation or boycott?”— Oliver Wescott
||Unaware-no_oppy > Aware-oppy(Boycott, Cooperation, Predation)
The profitability of any set of interactions is contingent upon the time value of boycott, cooperation, or predation, in some combination.
In general, boycott preserves opportunity for future cooperation, cooperation increases the opportunity for future cooperation, and predation decreases the opportunity for future cooperation.
In general, the value of predation increases with the advantage of some form of power, the chance of success, and the sustainability of a pool of available prey. The value of predation decreases with the chance of failure or retaliation, and the unsustainability of a pool of available prey.
As an economic system, the domestication of the animal man (aryanism) which applied the domestication of animals to humans through the developmental sequence slave > serf > freeman > citizen > sovereign, was the most successful in history.

We should thank female hypergamy for our existence. It’s just not a strategy ada
We should thank female hypergamy for our existence. It’s just not a strategy adapted to a society without adult males. The feminine endgame is not the c*ck carousel but to be a nurturing mother, grandmother and wife. A woman’s strategy to reach that place is hypergamy; to attract as much male attention and company as possible, as flagrantly as is permitted, so that she competitively maximizes her market demand as well as the market availability of males, until she is taken in possession by a deserving patriarch. It gets ugly when there are no such males. Hypergamy is not a stable evolutionary strategy without male dominance, which has been a ubiquitous feature of human existence, throughout and beyond the time of our existence. Sans the role of the responsible father and husband, males get to choose between being a beta cuck and an irresponsible thug. I know which one is reproductively more successful when contraception runs short — no, the future is not feminine. -

Animal Language?
—“What do believe is the qualitative difference between human and animal language?”—Bob Robertson As far as I know animals do not possess language, it only exists within humans. All other creatures merely manage to communicate. Charles Hockett (1967) introduced a generally accepted check list for language, a set of features that all human languages possess. His seven key properties are: 1 – productivity (the ability to create and understand new utterances): system which makes it possible to construct an unlimited number of sentences from a limited set of rules. 2 – arbitrariness (when signs/words do not resemble the things they represent), 3 – displacement (the ability to refer to the past and to things not present), and 4 – duality of pattern (the combination of a phonological system and a grammatical system), 5 – interchangeability (the ability to transmit and to receive messages by exchanging roles), 6 – specialization (when the only function of speech is communication and the speaker does not act out his message), 7 – cultural transmission (the ability to teach/learn from other individuals, e.g. by imitation). As far as I know the reason humans can speak is simply brain size and complexity (long chains). But I won’t go into all of it here. But the ability to imagine futures, imagine stories, ‘self-observe’ and describe those stories in a series of symbols, using a series of rules’ takes a great deal of processing power. While we can see elements of these patterns in parrots, corvids, dolphins, and the apes, we must teach them, and they say very simple things – because they only think very simple things. Assuming we selected and trained enough chimpanzees to use sign language to build a self sustaining community of them, and assuming we could leave them on an island for a few centuries, it’s possible that sign language would persist. I suspect the problem is that it’s hard to produce a community of chimps with the intelligence necessary for perpetuation.
