    *** the range necessary to accommodate the reproductive strategy of the male and female genders, given the female reproductive need for parasitism and the male reproductive need for dominance***.

    As long as sex is largely voluntary, and particularly under monogamous marriage, the nash equilibrium is maintained.

    I suspect that trust and cooperative velocity are also a byproduct.

    –“Ukraine’s National Police have arrested several suspects who were illegally producing bitcoins at a recreation center of a Ukrainian state institute, according to newly released court documents. Police found that 200 computers had been set up in an unused swimming pool at the Paton Electric Welding Institute’s recreation center to generate bitcoins, the world’s most popular digital money. The investigation became public on Aug. 8 after Kyiv’s Sviatoshinsky District Court published a court decision in the state register of court rulings. In it, the court claims the production of the bitcoins was being carried out illegally, violating several Ukrainian laws. Police tracked down the allegedly illegal bitcoin producer with the help of an SBU security service agent, who “found out the exact location of illegal hardware that was secretly generating digital money, which was later used via payment systems that are unauthorized in Ukraine.” The court claims the suspects had no rights to use the state premises – a swimming pool. They also breached the Law on the National Bank of Ukraine by emitting “substitute money” and forging documents to launder it. Under the law, only the central bank can issue currency in Ukraine. According to the Law on the National Bank, there is only one national currency, the hryvnia, and no other currency or substitute currency can be issued or used as a form of payment in Ukraine. The law does not specify what a “substitute currency” is, however. Neither are there any laws in Ukraine that regulate virtual currencies. The National Bank of Ukraine, however, has frowned at cryptocurrencies, dubbing them “a substitute for real money.” Nevertheless, as there is no official restriction on the use of cryptocurrencies, some Ukrainian companies now accept bitcoins as payment. The value of one bitcoin today is $3,300 (Hr 85,000).”—

    There are certain Genies that can’t be rebottled(magics), certain Pandoras that cannot be re-boxed(evils), certain events than cannot be undone(accidents), and certain technologies that cannot be unmade(inventions), and much knowledge that cannot be un-known.

    (a) patterns of sustainable specialization and trade adapt faster and faster with greater divisions of labor and knowledge, and there is no evidence that this will cease.

    (b) women are more adaptable to social circumstances. Men are specialists and less adaptable to social circumstances. There is no evidence that this will (or can) cease.

    (c) women have longer working lives in those circumstances. Men have shorter working lives in most circumstances. Men absorb and accumulate cellular damage on behalf of women and children both because of direct the effects of testosterone and the consequences of their drives *caused* by it. There is no evidence that this will or can end.

    (d) Men have invented the end of physical labor. Men will soon invent the end of warfare labor. And soon after invent the end of calculative labor.

    (e) The only labor that will remain will be service – with very low returns; organizing people – with low returns, sales – with slightly higher returns; and organization of network; and organizing networks of people to take risks – with higher returns.

    (f) women are superior in the workplace at all but the high risk innovation of higher returns.

    (g) there is little evidence that two thirds of men are necessary in the work force, or even desirable mates for women. There is evidence that women require or desire the financial support of men *if it means the cost of caring for them.*

    (h) A surplus of men always leads to civil war. A shortage of men always leads to conquest. The west is being conquered at present.

    (i) Vast numbers of men have left the workforce. With a minimum survivable wage, far more men will leave the work force. Other than men’s higher food requirements, men are far less costly to maintain than women. With men leaving the workforce more women will enter it. Albeit in work with decreasing returns.

    I can see various equilibrations playing out. But in the end, I see basically this: wome return to the clerical equivalent of doing all work in the agrarian era. A few men have access to most of the women and wealth. And the vast majority of other men laze around a lot and enjoy life, and do nothing other than prevent encroachment upon their ‘herd’ of working women.

    * the principal means of preventing revolt at present is income requirements. *
