  • What Are The Hard Truths That People Don’t Like To Admit About Themselves?

    • 80% of people are in the bottom 80% of people.
    • <20% of people organize the bottom 80%.
    • <1% of people organize the remaining top 20%.
    • <.1% of people are ‘important’ to organizing the top 1%.
    • People are not intrinsically valuable, because labor is not intrinsically valuable.
    • We are compensated by others for our ability to use incentives to organize increasing numbers people.
    • About 1/3 of people at the bottom are a dead weight on the remaining 2/3 of people.
    • In other words, with rare exceptions, you are important only to the degree you do not harm or interfere with the 20% of people that matter.
    • the people that matter most are those that prevent everyone from impeding, acting parasitically upon, or preying upon, others: the sheriffs the judges – without whom the competition between parasitism and cooperation balances in favor of corruption.

  • Women’s minds, including emotions, evolved, and remain, attenuated for the purpo

    Women’s minds, including emotions, evolved, and remain, attenuated for the purposes of bearing and raising generations of children: when young, when fertile, when mother, when grandmother. But what does this mean? It means that upon appeal to intuition in matters interpersonal, social, and political, that women’s intuition supplies a bias – and men’s does not supply that bias. Why? Because men change physically, but women change not only physically but mentally in puberty – and that change continues throughout life: hyperattenuation. While female precociousness, verbality, attention seeking, manipulation, care-taking are present, the increase in psychological illness, and female dominance in psychological illness, is caused largely (a) this hyperattenuation, and (b) lack of mindfulness training that is typically provided by the child-caring, familial, tribal, and especially masculine limits placed on their behavior by the social condition. It’s quite evident from travelling the world that women act as demand-generators in social orders without which men would not compete for women’s attention, but would compete against men for women as property.

    by Simon Ström

    Happiness is redundant to grown men — conviction and love (a relational condition) are more important because those are instruments for us to continually invest our agency in the best way possible from a survival/reproduction perspective regardless if we’re happy or not.

    I had a few very interesting conversations over breakfast this morning, first, with a woman who has founded two semi-private schools and specializes in adding mindfulness to curricula. And second with her husband who is a bit of an activist for the catholic church and previously convinced me of it’s present value. These are well read people. Committed people. Moral people. Probably south of island 120. But certainly capable.

    And what I was struck by, and what I am continually struck by, is the prevalence of moral reasoning, in the absence of empirical understanding. In other words, the application of the intuitionistic and interpersonal to the empirical and equilibrial.

    I also walked away with even greater conviction that the reason that we do not teach virtues, history, accounting, basic economics, grammar, logic, rhetoric, is because each of them creates objective valuation of one another; objective valuation of one’s parents, and their social status; objective ability to criticize self, parents, teachers, priests, and politicians; and in particular, falsifies our intuitions, and feminine intuitions.

    In other words, our children are made more ignorant in every generation and more pliable by academy, state, media, finance and industry.

    It is one thing to read books, and another to talk to educators, priests, public intellectuals, school principals, regular academics, reporters, and politicians. And when you do, it can scare the living hell out of you. Because all they really know is what is within their relationship circle.

    I’m always terrified that the boomer generation brought about a dark age. And we have already begun to enter it.

    All psychologism is merely pseudoscientific shaming – i.e. lying.

    All humans seek to acquire, differing only in that which they seek to acquire.

    All human motivations can be expressed in incentives to acquire or defend assets.

    The century of pseudoscience and lying is over.

    Marx, Boaz, Freud, Cantor, Adorno & Co.; Mises, Rand, Rothbard; Trotsky, Burnham, Strauss; Lyotard, Foucault, Baudrillard, Derrida; We can’t consider feminism a philosophy so much as an extension of marxist and postmodern critique.

    The status quo is either in an individual’s interest or not. It’s not complicated.

    Which gender is modernity good for?

    There is a reason asylums were largely full of women, and prisons largely full of men. We demonstrate our anti-social behaviors differently.

    Unfortunately we’ve legalized female insanity, and over prosecuted male criminality.
