    Turtles all the way down. In the end if there is no purpose to the universe, then there is only the accident of persistence by the concentration of energy in defeat of entropy.

    If I were to anthropomorphize a purpose of the universe, it would be that it’s a very wasteful process by which to attempt to calculate the transcendence of at least one life form into gods than can save the universe from heat death.

    That’s right. Purpose. Purpose requires intent. There is no intent. There is no purpose. All we can determine so far is that it appears that universes (meaning some section of the broader universe) for some reason or other, contract and then explode, and as the explosion dissipates almost all pressure is externalized into space, and a small percentage is concentrated into protoparticles, particles, and the most simple of elements. Then suns form and explode and produce more complex elements. There is no purpose to this. It’s we who determine purpose for ourselves.

    You don’t mean ‘objective function’ since it’s just a deterministic result of the quantum background’s need to release pressure by either expansion into space or contraction into mass. What do you mean instead? (I know, but I wonder if you know.)

    ALl of existence is just an effort do use trial and error to compute persistence of stable relations of negative-entropy – defeating the dark forces of time and ignorance.

    Height is usually selected in favor of protein, strength, climate, … and war.

    Genetic Factors:
    Founder Effects: Northern European populations could have experienced founder effects that emphasized genes for greater height and a more robust physique.
    Positive Selection: These genetic traits may have offered survival advantages in the environments where these populations evolved, thereby becoming more common over generations.
    Climate: The cold climate may have led to a selection pressure favoring a body type that conserves heat more efficiently. Larger, sturdier bodies have a lower surface area-to-volume ratio, which aids in heat conservation.
    Diet: A diet rich in protein and dairy, facilitated by agriculture and animal husbandry, can lead to greater height and robustness.
    Sexual Selection: Cultural preferences could favor taller, sturdier builds. Over time, this would result in a population that is taller on average.
    Social Stratification: In some societies, height and build could be associated with social standing, potentially leading to better opportunity for nutrition and mating for taller individuals, which could be passed on to offspring.

    SAPOLSKY’S BOOK ISN”T ABOUT FREE WILL BUT WORLD VIEW.
    RE: @Robot_Sapolsky #Determined

    The better reviews are correctly uncharitable so far. But it’s because it’s the book is not in fact about the philosophical question of ‘free will’ which asks only whether we have the capacity to choose between moral and immoral actions. That’s all the ‘free will’ debate asks. And yes we do have it. Which is why we hold one another accountable for our actions throughout mankind and throughout history. The book instead is about our World View (model) within which we exercise the free will to make moral decisions.

    If I find a day to read this book through, I”ll write a solid review. But I can tell from the interviews already that he’s spewing nonsense about FREE WILL, even if he is trying to demonstrate how heavily our WORLD VIEW and therefore thoughts, words, and deeds within it, are affected by our body form, its limitations, our brain and its limitations, and the universe that we live in.

    Cheers

    One of the first principles of economics, that is a given in physics, is a full accounting (balance sheet) of causes and consequences. Not a selection bias. If zombie companies are destroying private wealth and others wish to make short term profits by financing their decline, or gambling on their recovery (which is what they do), then that is a private matter. People do so because it’s in their interest to maximize their personal returns as an organization vs the alternatives. Just as you may defer maintenance on yourself, relationships, assets, and home.

    However, when rents are extended to the public, and impose a cost on the commons, that’s a public matter.

    I am not sure why this is hard to comprehend but it is possible that I’ve been doing this so long that I’m not seeing what you’re intuiting.

    My suspicion is that you are accidentally dealing with an ideal or moral idea and not a concrete category – possibly because this is one of the cataegorical deceptions in libertarian thought, just like the categorical deception of ‘society’ in Marx’s work. This mistake is common for most people – because tehy do not realize they are merely justifying a moral presumption – though I havent detected this line of thinking in you before.

    It’s a Very Jewish > Christian-Theological > Philosophical-Moral > Rationalistic Justification > but not necessarily empirical > and certainly scientific, and therefore fully accounted.

    HIERARCHY OF ASSETS AND RIGHTS: Personal (life, body, actions) > Private (self or familial regulation, usus, fructus, mancipio, abusus) > Semi-Private (private regulation, usus, fructus, mancipio) > Semi-Plublic Commons (self regulating, usus + fructus) > Public Commons (usable, usus) > Public ‘sacred’ Commons (inviolable).

    For Those Who Are Less Forgiving, Here’s The Causality for The Prosecution of the Jews

    Paul Johnson, from whom I took a great deal of early insight, does not go into the reasons the Jews were prosecuted, and it was always and everywhere with good reason.

    They were the ‘undesirables’ when egypt conquered the region. Egypt acted as all empires do – either relocating peopl from different regions to help in administration, or by finding locals tribes who are outcast – neither of which is easily bribed by the locals. This is the origin of jewish accountancy and literacy.

    While Jesus tried to illustrate the problem with his outrage, it requires an economist to explain why he was demanding an end to parasitism upon the people, baiting into hazard, at the top, and pettiness and selfishness from those. at the bottom.

    The Romans allowed local law and custom as long as it did not contradict limited roman law – and a demonstration of loyalty by sacrifice (the ancient world’s form of symbolic taxation). The jews were a competent people by this time, and (rationally) resisted rome – but in the end, the countryside was depopulated, jews forbidden access to Jerusalem, and The Jewish sect we call Christian religion gained legitimacy.

    Upon the diaspora jews used these same tools, and continued the same practice they’d learned from the Egyptians: (a) alliance with the state against the people paricularly in tax collection (b) usurious interst ‘bating into hazard” usually over 300%, (why they were prohibited property – so they couldn’t bait and seize it), (c) slaving (d) selling gambling, prositution, alcohol on credit (baiting into hazard) (e) using these gains to influence the state, or gain competitive advantage against the locals, (think how big box stores killed downtowns and local business), (f) always and everywhere undermining local morality by the above means, by profiting from baiting the locals (farmers) into hazards.

    In other words they profited from immorality simply because ther was a shortage of hard currency. And while europe replaced them with the more moral version in the Templars, the french (always the enemy of europe) allied with the pope to kill off the templars (why we celebrate Friday the 13th – the killing of the templars), because the french king was so endebted to them, and the pope was a family member of the french king. Unfortunately, while the french king escaped paying his debt to the templars, and the Templars were replaced by the Jews again, the papacy and the monarchy both discovered that the money didn’ exist in a dragon’s horde, or great safe, because it was all lent out earning interset. Today Switzerland is what’s left of the Templars.

    The solution to the behavior of the jews (contrary to the beliefs of libertarians and conservatives) was fiat money, and state banks, and state provision of consumer credit – and now requires only the extension of the criteria for fraud into baitings into hazard – which is (the consumers don’t understand) the reason for consumer dissatisfaction with business, industry, banking, credit, and advertising.

    Can we also end Jewish supremacy, pseudoscience, an undermining by legal suppression of moral and monetary baiting into hazard, using ill gotten gains to scale it – into the prohibition on their invention of a series of new religions (the marxist sequence, libertarianism, leninism(hillary clinton) and neoconservatism) using the female method of seduction into the false promise of freedom from the laws of scarcity, human behavior, and natural selection? Of course we can. It’s just an extension of fraud in commerce to fraud in politics and religion.

    So it’s rather easy to end the conflict with the jews by ending the viability of the jewish group strategy (which is just the female stratgy against males) that’s thousands of years old, and forcing them into legitimate businesses, where they must engag ein production rather than parasitism, undermining, and political and religious fraud.

    Do people know they do evil? No. We all justify what works. That’s what civilizations do. We all do it. But we can also all stop it.

    If we know how.
    And we do.
