READ AND UNDERSTAND
by Brandon Hayes
Humans we are fractionating! This is obvious to those paying any attention. However, instead of being excited for the chance to speciate; we’re panicked; why?
Well, I’m going to venture a guess it has something to do with the reason the fractionation is taking place.
If you look at the chart (painstakingly put together I imagine) many of those groups are of the new abstract type mentioned above. They are groups basing their identity on their collective prejudiced opinions of out-groups.
I’ve written recently about empathy (and compassion) as poor out-group strategies as they favor an out-group over an in-group. However, the action to be taken in lieu of empathy isn’t combat! Nuance people, nuance!
Cooperation or non-interaction between groups is better (more positive results) than blind empathy (hurts the in-group) or conflict (destroys the weaker group). What the above paper labels as out-group learning, that’s understanding those not in your group, reduces prejudice by a significant margin. Who would have thought understanding those different than you makes you judge them less (typically)! <That’s sarcasm internet; of course this is the case.
People say don’t judge; this is like asking people not to think. Humans make judgments when they think; they don’t get to turn that off when it comes to humans (or groups of humans). Every man ought to be an adequate and fair judge of reality; it’s a duty.
We ought to welcome the speciation by creating groups based on in-group preference (mainly) and save the out-group prejudice for those acting to harm us (they exist but it’s not everyone who thinks a bit differently than you).
If we coalesce into one human race we lose our evolutionary advantages (as these are culture and geographic specific); we squander the human biological platform; we make a joke out of what evolution took 3.5 billion years to create. Just because we can become one, doesn’t mean it is the proper path. [Breeding all the dogs breeds together to make a “super dog” DOESN’T work < this is not how genetics works]
We can get along without destroying what made us evolutionarily viable. We can cohabitate in peace. Love should wane with each concentric kinship sphere; we should look to cooperate and create “win, wins”; what good is being human if we can’t transcend what makes us animal?

https://medium.com/intellectual-explorers-club/memetic-tribes-and-culture-war-2-0-14705c43f6bbWELL DONE BUT THE TIME FOR UNDERSTANDING HAS PASSED
Regarding: https://medium.com/intellectual-explorers-club/memetic-tribes-and-culture-war-2-0-14705c43f6bb
Well done. This is perhaps the best work, and possibly the only meaningful work, I have seen on the ‘Tribes’. (I’ve written about the right tribes as a class hierarchy. I haven’t worked on the left’s Tribes but I suppose it’s obvious.)
By way of compliment, If I could add any value to your work at all, it’s:
a) As we grow wealthier (less constrained) we are all seeking divergence (specialization) that exercises our preferences rather than the predicted convergence on a uniform preference.
b) That we can AFFORD to diverge (specialize or speciate) because we are wealthy enough to produce commons serving our interests.
c) That the Tribes reflect the spectrum from the feminine (herd, proportionality, equality) to masculine (pack, reciprocity, meritocracy-hierarchy) reproductive strategies. And therefore we are both able to seek and it’s in our reproductive interests (and therefore our psychological demands, expressed as political demands) to seize the opportunity for speciation.
d) That majority Democracy, and particularly first-past-the-post majoritarian democracy (equality of vote) produces a monopoly of outcomes that favors the major party with cyclical rebellions against overreach by the minority party. That democracy provides only a means of resolving differences in priority but not difference in objectives. And these differences in objectives are not bridgeable because they are not arbitrary but genetic and immutable.
e) There that the only solution to such demand is not the fallacy of continuing to ‘understand and compromise’ when ‘demand’ for OPPOSING commons simply continues to increase, but to either separate (secession) or devolve the production of commons from the federal governments to the states, so that the nationalists (masculine packs), and globalists (feminine herds) can end the artificial constraint of monopoly democracy and develop commons more suitable to their reproductive interests.
Everyone thought they would win. The British-German belief in the aristocracy of everyone. The French-Ashkenazi murderers of aristocracy of a peasantry of everyone.
Everyone was wrong. And we have given up attempting to reconcile our differences.
And we are within a year or two of a civil war the scope of which has never been seen before if we continue to pursue a winner-takes-all strategy.

Although there is a vast difference between Hitler’s fulfillment of the French ambition of National Socialism, and the Bolshevik fulfillment of global socialism as communism. Abrahamism in supernatural clothes, redressed as Communism, redressed as Islamism. Same each time.

—“The main problem of western civilization is humanism (automatic attribution of human traits to inhuman people).”— Günther Shroomacher —“Eugenics, in the vernacular, often equates to needless discretionary euthanasia. Eugenics via negativa would consist of eliminating and preventing dysgenic policies and practices i.e. the welfare state etc. Eugenics via negativa is eugenic by not practicing dysgenics. — Bill Joslin —“No society is rich enough to artificially prop up a nation indefinitely via education or instruction. A high IQ just makes it cheaper.”— Lisa Outhwaite —“Hierarchy (A Pack) requires only that you seek your position. There is no fear of exclusion, only change in position. Equality (A Herd) has no position so one is either in and conforming our out for not. This is the origin of male(conservative) female (liberal) minds, and their cognitive, moral, and political biases.”— CD —“Packs survive by fighting together and protecting each other, regardless of position in the hierarchy. Herds survive by fleeing and leaving the weak behind.”— Andy Lunn —“The rothbardian argument originated in a bias to favor the concentration of savings for the purpose of redeployment as usury over the utility of credit. (yes, really, that’s the reason)”— CD —“Politics boils down to generation of demand in response to intuitions of genetic self-interest. Why? IDEOLOGICAL explanatory power is less explanatory than BIOLOGICAL explanatory power.”—Butch Leghorn —“The internet is revealing TRUTH in a way that humanity has never before seen, and the effects will change us as a species.”—Noah J Revoy —“Find the sacred, and you’ll likely find ignorance. For the sacred is that which we hold above criticism, thus removing our best means of education.”—Skye Stewart —“10,000 hours and all that. Novelty is exploration. Repetition is refinement.”—Ely Harman —“Novelty seeking is the preoccupation of those who lack the ability to master.”—Noah J Revoy

—“When the world ends, do you think it’s gonna look like a lush paradise as God promised, or look like the planet is beyond ravaged?”— There are no gods, they are mere fictions men invented so that we can lie to ourselves about being a transitory life form that must struggle to survive, and use the comfort of that lie to manipulate people politically rather than educate them so that they can act rationally to improve their condition, or welcome the end to their discomfort. The planet will turn to ash first because the sun will expand. The planet will be destroyed and absorbed by the sun after it expands. The sun will collapse and take everything with it at the end of its life. We are in adulthood of our star and do not have unlimited time to get off the planet.

There is no good way to practice an abrahamic religion. Our ancestors did not practice religion as we understand it, and neither did the chinese, koreans, or japanese until forced into buddhism and christianity as a means of submission and control.
The last illusion dies hard.
