0. Correct but the opposite, via-negativa: The neuroscience is trivial. The causes of defect in intelligence are almost limitless. It’s not so much that we need to understand intelligence (g), it’s that we need to understand why defects in intelligence are so common.
1. AFAIK, (g) is the most accurate measure in psychology, and stereotypes are the most accurate measure in social sciences. The problem with testing is casting (g) separately from personality traits (which it is), and therefore not ALSO testing for trait-conscientiousness.
2 If we test intelligence, and the Big5 traits we see that success is determined MORE by trait conscientiousness than by intelligence, and that intelligence increases income only because it grants access to problems of greater complexity. Intelligence REDUCES ERROR in complexity.
3. As such ADAPTABILITY (success) consists of applying trait conscientiousness and trait intelligence to exploit opportunities at one’s optimum of complexity. This means ‘the bell curve’ of overlapping bell curves from low IQ/conscientiousness to high IQ/conscientiousness.
4. There are plenty of people who are high in both intelligence,high in conscientiousness, and high in agreeableness and therefore low in competitiveness. So once we stack the priority of these traits in the context of a given economy and rule of law, sortition is obvious.
5. Furthermore, once we combine all 5/6 traits we see that personalities cluster around three archetypes: female mother(teach),ascendant male(experiment), and established or dominant male(defend).
The world is simple – if and only if you use enough dimensions of measurement.
Hydrocarbons are from dead organic material – and you need an astonishing set of circumstances to make oil out of these things and preserve them.
First, you’ve got to concentrate them somewhere where they’re not dispersed or oxidized – which means in swamps, marshes, lakes or something like that. (See “Peat Marshes” and “Bog Bodies”.) Then you’ve got to heat them up slowly over a long, long period to cook them up to make oil. And then, when they make oil and start to ‘ferment’, you’ve got to have some way of trapping the liquid and the gas.
All these things, it turns out, happen on the margins of continents. Sediments just get washed in, and all those dead things get buried deeper and deeper and gently get cooked for a long time. So, the circumstances for making oil are very good on the margins of continents. Especially the margins of oceans that aren’t on a plate boundary – because there are no earthquakes there.
Now, what happened in Saudi Arabia is that that happened to be on the margin of a huge ocean which separated Asia from the southern continents. So, a hundred million years ago, Africa, India and Arabia were all a long way further south from where they are now and they’ve all moved north and bashed into Asia.
One of those places is [what is now] Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq.
And what’s happened is the margin of that ocean, with the margins of Arabia, and Africa and India, have all just popped up above sea level from the pressure of colliding together.
Millions of years ago, most of the Middle East was covered by what scientists call the Tethys Ocean (aka Tethys Sea). Rivers flowing into the ocean gave rise to trillions of microscopic organisms and other marine plants and animals. The corpses of these organisms on the ocean floor is where oil (and natural gas) comes from. This is why they are called fossil fuels.
Over millions of years, this decomposing organic material became covered by miles of new organic matter and also the sand and salt flowing in from the rivers and streams. Yes, salt flows into the ocean from freshwater rivers and streams. Anyway, these layers became more and more packed as newer layers formed on top of the previous layers. The pressure and heat from these upper layers change the buried organic matter into a sludgy substance of hydrocarbons and other compounds that constitute what we know as crude oil. Theoretically, as long as marine life keeps dying, oil will keep being created
So it’s not that there is more oil in the middle east than anywhere else. There’s loads of oil on the other continental margins – but that’s all underwater. It’s hard and expensive to get out. Whereas in Saudi Arabia, Iran and Iraq it’s popped up nicely above sea level and also in. So it’s actually extremely easy to find, an cheap to take out.
It’s just more that it is conveniently situated than anything else.

At present it’s an in-utero birth defect caused by the mother’s immune system reaction to testosterone. We do not know if it’s caused by some virus or other. But it’s a birth defect and the uterus (mother) fails to abort (miscarry). Related to?:Boys miscarry early, girls later.

We can quantify all sorts of metrics of human behavior, but you’re confusing mathematics with physics, the same way most people confuse averages with instances or distributions. In other words, mathematics describes averages of points in time, it doesn’t not describe operations.Mathematics consist of operations that describe states and changes in states and averages. But not the underlying operations. Physics studies both the quantitative and the operational. Mathematics just the quantitative (positional). So while mathematics describes ‘sums’ operations describe changes in state.
Here:
At every “level’ of reality we discover an underlying limited number of operations (Grammar) producing some set of symmetries (outcomes, equilibria), and above that a new limited number of operations (Grammar, outcomes, equilibria)) that produce another set of symmetries, and above that and so on.
So, we don’t yet know what causes the quantum level
We have a fairly good idea what causes the subatomic level.
we have a very good idea what causes the atomic level.
We have such a good understanding of chemistry that it’s boring.
We are getting a fair understanding of biochemistry (and that it’s mechanical).
We are getting a beginning understanding of proteins (and that it’s mechanical(operational) )
We are getting a beginning understanding of genetic reproduction (and that it’s mechanical- operational) .
We are getting a fairly good understanding of cells.
We have a more than fairly good understanding of multi-cellular (complex) organisms.
I’ll stop there since I think you can see the pattern of some set of physically possible operations producing a finite set of physically possible states, followed by another set of physically possible operations producing a finite set of physically possible states, and that this process continues indefinitely, all the way to what we call consciousness.
Now life buys us conservation of energy (defeat of entropy), but it’s still bound by the laws of physics (the underlying grammars).
Memory buys us prediction. And prediction provides our ability to perform operations (actions) that improve our defeat of entropy.
Increase in neural( brain) volume provides Competition between predictions, which provides us choices of options for defeating entropy.
Increase in Brain volume provides iterations on predictions for increasing choices of defeating entropy the sequence of actions (or inactions for that matter).
Increase in brain volume provides prediction of others predictions and predicting opportunities for cooperation that further improve our ability to capture and use energy by defeating entropy.
Human ability to capture energy is limited by the grammar of human action (possible actions and sequences of actions and parallel combinations of other’s actions).
So the grammar of human action consists in the physical, emotional-intuitionistic, and cognitive operations.
Those operations are bounded by physical limitations of the grammars upon which they are constructed.
Both Physics and Economics are bound by the same underlying grammars (laws) but because humans have memories, prediction, sentience, and consciousness, reason, calculation, symbolism, and computation, we can use debts and credits with each other to temporarily lend to each other, in presumption of future returns on that investment or debt.
We don’t violate that physical law. Because humans observe reciprocity (equilibrium) just as the physical world obeys equilibrium (entropy). If we didn’t we wouldn’t be here.
And so some people specialize in capitalization (productivity) and some people specialize in consumption, and others in parasitism or predation.
But in the end, over time, we are limited by the physical laws of the universe. We can create productivity (as does life), or we can parasite upon other lives (as do bacteria and viruses).
We cannot run the clock on parasitism (Socialism or gypsies) or conquest (islamism) forever because we will run out of hosts to prey upon.
So economics is just physics with debits and credits (ability t steal, to borrow, to exchange,to produce, or to save) made possible by consciousness, by test of reciprocity (account balances), within the limit of proportionality (exit).

P IS A LEAP IN THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD. SORRY. MAN UP AND LEARN.
—“Brandon Hayes so in other words p has similar descriptive and predictive powers to things like astrology and Marxism. If you recite these dogmas enough I’m sure they come to seem like objective truths, but my suggestion would be that you read a few things that are not by other cult members, or books of quotations taken out of context”—John Tangney
Alright you overconfident idiot, let’s dance.
—“Lol, who writes your dialogue?”—John Tangney
1. Is science defined as the use of the scientific method or not? If not, then what is it defined as?
2. Is that scientific method justificationary or falsificationary?
3. Is mathematics the logic of constant positional relations, if not then what?
4. What are the limits of mathematics as we currently understand them? (I’ll tell you: quantum mechanics (probability at the low end), and economics (probability at the high end). Why? Informational availability and categorical consistency.
5. So is prediction in science limited? Or limited is it by current mathematical understanding? (I’ll tell you: it’s a limit of our current understanding of single-position mathematics, and we haven’t – see Wolfram – developed the geometric equivalent that we have in curves (calculus ), lines (geometry), points (arithmetic). It appears that it is not possible for humans without the help of computers. We can however use variation from intermediary symmetries (constants) in the meantime.
6. Is prediction or explanation by constant relations a test of falsification? It doesn’t matter.
P is a falsificationary, operational, explicatory, logic of limits. It is predictive given information (bounded rationality), and is predictive given symmetries (findings of general rules of economics). It cannot be as mathematics can be closed, because we can innovate and axioms can’t.
Not only is P itself scientific, it defines science and the scientific method completely.
Now watch john engage in GSRRM, Pilpul and Critique.
Human behavior is all physics. It has to be. Economics is just physics with debts and credits. Our consciousness is just a vehicle for negotiating terms of cooperation. Cooperation is just a means of obtaining higher returns on investments of time and calories.
Consciousness is deterministic with scale, and biased by body form. Any being with sufficient neural capacity will develop similar intuitions and behaviours. We are programmed by action in reality. Consciousness means modelling recursive future states by grammar of action. https://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/1209177130992623624
