    Space and Time. Existence and Experience. Brain and Mind. The experience we call mind exists temporally as the result of action. And that action is the result of the persistence of vision (up to 2-3 seconds) exceeding rates of iteration (around a 25th of a second), between the thalamus and the generations (layers) of the brain. Thus we perceive a constant state (consciousness) of changes in state by continuous refreshing of perception and continuous temporary persistence of the stimulation. There is a reason we encode only the differences between frames when streaming video. Because those changes in state are all we detect, and we continuously assemble and model the world around us from those continuous changes in state.
  • What Are The Physical Differences Between African People’s Ethnicities (e.g. Ethiopian, Zulu, Congan, Etc.)?

    Hmmm. The terrain and the harshness of the environment has led to wide variation among africans. (While the rest of us evolved pedomorphically, africa demanded DEEPER and FASTER sexual maturity – if for the disease gradient alone. )

    I have seventeen subraces listed in Africa, and I think that others might break it down into more than thirty. And they all hold scrutiny. By comparison, West europeans and east asians are the least diverse polities and it’s very important that we understand that both our accelerated developments were in no small part due to isolation and proto-speciation.

    Africa:

    • Tigrean Race*** (Tigrean)
    • Amharic Race*** (Amharic)
    • Sudanese-Barya Race*** (Sudanese – Barya)
    • General Nilotic Race (Shilluk – Masai – Nuer – Dinka – Luo – Turkana – Karanojo – Mabaan)
    • Funji Nilotic Race (Funji)
    • Tuareg-Beja Cushitic Race*** (Tuareg – Beja)
    • Nubian Race*** (Nubian)
    • Wolof-Peul-Serer Race (Wolof – Peul – Serer)
    • General Bantu Race (Most Bantus)
    • Bedik Bantu Race (Bedik)
    • West African Race (Most West Africans)
    • Mbuti Pygmy Race
    • Sara Nilotic-Biaka Pygmy Race (Sara – Biaka)
    • San Khoisan-Somali Race*** (San – Somali)
    • Khoi Khoisan Race*** (Nama – !Ora)
    • Hadza Khoisan Race*** (Hadza)
    • Sandawe Khoisan Race (Sandawe)

  • ANIMALS, SENTIENCE, CONSCIOUSNESS, REASON, AND THE ILLUSION THEREOF. Animals don

    ANIMALS, SENTIENCE, CONSCIOUSNESS, REASON, AND THE ILLUSION THEREOF.

    Animals don’t reason other than it is clear that the very smartest can in fact do so (Corvids) and many predators. And the demarcation between sentience and consciousness is the mirror test. And some animals can pass it – even possibly pigeons.

    Many animals dream so they must ‘think’ at whatever level it is that they dream.

    But when we say ‘think’ we can mean ‘feel your way thru something’, visualize your way thru something, plan your way through something using tools, reason (talk) your way thru something, and explain to others how to act through something.

    To say animals are sentient is true, to say they are conscious –

    well there are some that appear to be.

    To say they are rational, it is not clear that all people are rational, or that we are fooled that they are rational because they are capable of language, and language creates the illusion of similarity.

    The more we learn the more the gradual progress from nervous system to sentience, to consciousness is just as continuous as the spectrum from feminine pschosis to feminine solipsism to normal balanced personality, to male aspieness, to male autism.

  • If White People Came From Neanderthals, Why Do They Have Such Nice Features?

    —-”If white people came from Neanderthals, why do they have such nice features?”——

    White features, like East Asian features, are due to paedomorphic selection (read about it). Largely by decreasing testosterone, it appears. Which is also how we domesticate and produce paedomorphic traits in domesticated animals. The difference is that east asians evolved from an earlier branch out of africa, and progressed even farther (hence reduced sexual development) and migrated from the south while whites evolved (apparently) either from a later group, a different group, or as the product of groups interacting between africa, the levant, and europe, causing greater competition than was available in east asia.

    White people do not come from Neanderthals. A very small number of West Eurasians PRIOR TO BEING WHITE reproduced with Neanderthals – and most likely in the Levant.

    White skin developed around 20K years ago, and Neanderthals were extinct long before that. White people in their current condition developed sometime before the indo european expansion (the inventors of Horse, Chariot, and Bronze) around 4000BC, and likely in the european plain between poland and european russia (the urals) in that borderland that is now Ukraine.

    1 – West Asian europeans with darker skin were exterminated in europe.
    2 – White people with black hair were almost exterminated in europe.
    3 – White people with brown eyes were partly exterminated in northern europe.

    In other words, (the data from last year confirms) the Yamna expansion appears to have not been one of continuous integration, but outright replacement.

    Whites – at least northern european whites (North Sea) – are super-predators, even among humans. Which is why everyone fears them. (See Hansen). Probably because of our relatively high detachment compared to other genetic groups. (Which accounts for certain psychological benefits and defects common in Europeans: psychopathy and neuroticism in the extremes.) The only people close to europeans in evolutionary progress are east asians and they have lower verbal acuity in exchange for higher non verbal acuity. (We tend to think of the japanese as at least equals – and that is ‘rare’.)

  • you certainly cant deny that speech causes people to commit property violations

    you certainly cant deny that speech causes people to commit property violations of various scales under pretende of restitution. or that premiums can be gained by pseudoscience – thats empirically undeniable.

    so the speech had no cause on the consequence? yelling fire in the theatre differs from publishing pseudoscience how? is there anywhere in the world this is practiced? instead, what is the criteria by which man limits public speech?

    what is the difference between yelling fire in a theatre and stating a poisonous substance does no harm and writing the Freudian pseudoscience?
