    So, one can say:
    9) increase in anti social behavior.
    10) increase in population with it.
    11) increase prosecution of it.
    or
    12) decrease in institutional means of compensating for it with family, community, norm, tradition, and institution.

    @JayMan471 @Mywifesson4 What is it instead? 😉 b/c those things compensated for class diffs. Which is what I assume you’re going to say.
    Add:
    5) school environment exacerbates.
    6) pharmaceuticals (and drugs) exacerbate.
    7) recent evidence (female) social media.
    8) increase in under-lower class size.

    [W]estern man always used markets. We had markets for leadership under trifunctionalism, and under trifunctionalism, western man had two declared priesthoods: Juridical and Spiritual, and one undeclared: Science – which was metallurgy. When you hear our folktales of ‘spells’ it’s derived from metal smelting. Because our ancestors combined Horse, wheel, and bronze to conquer the known world. Philosophy was our ‘synthesis’ of the trifunctional, just as monotheism was the synthesis of the monopoly theology of the middle east. So, Yes, philosophy was and to some degree remains is the natural ‘theology’ of western man and heathen(nature, spirits, ancestors) and pagan(heroes, gods). Our philosophy was corrupted by the addition of monotheistic theology, resulting in the strange synthesis by Augustine. And it is this synthesis that failed repeatedly in the semitic dark ages, was replaced by literacy in the early modern period, with pure faith surviving in orthodox and american protestant forms, and catholicism and catholic dogma lost. So the question is whether we are returning to Law, Science, Philosophy and Faith, having finally left the failure of theology behind. And whether we will restore our ancestral religions of heathens and religion of the hearth (folktales, fairy tales, myths, legends), paganism (historical figures, aryanism), and maintain Christianity is yet to be discovered.

    (LessWrong February 25, 2020 9:07 PM) [I]’ve been working on the problem since about ’92 and like many things, the curatorial function performed by the top handful of intellectuals alive at any given time is not able to keep pace with the volume of pseudoscience, sophistry, ideology, propaganda, and marketing over the past thirty or more years. This is not the first time there has been a rebellion against science and reason. It happened in the ancient world and resulted in the medieval dark ages. That the rebellion against science and reason is nothing more than a reflection of a rebellion against western evolutionary pressure is less obvious. If not for immigration it appears that we would have succeeded in falsifying the Jewish pseudoscientific counter-enlightenment just as we survived the German Rationalists (kant et all an the german secular theologists) and the French Moralists (Rousseau et al and the French Revolution). The difference being that the Jewish counter enlightenment (exemplified in Cantor-Bohr, Boas-Freud, Marx, Adorno-Fromm, Trotsky-Strauss-Kristol, Derrida, Friedan, and ongoing by Krugman-Stiglitz-DeLong et al ) is so broadly based, covers the entire scope of the disciplines, and is united in the past century, just as were Judaism, Christianity, and Islam in the ancient world, to resist Evolution. Or stated more simply, the current debate remains the same, which is dysgenic female equalitarian strategies, vs the eugenic, male, hierarchical strategies. In other words, both the ancient world religions and the modern world ‘cults’ of pseudoscience, sophistry, and denial, are united in a single purpose, and that is the suppression of evolution by competitive, hierarchical, market meritocracies, of any kind, whether genetic (hindu), bureaucratic (chinese), or technical (european). So in summary, (a) democracy combined with underclass or out-class immigration has created continued market demand for falsehoods. (b) resistance to the increase in market demand for falsehoods has created market demand for counter-arguments. (c) monopoly democracy (selection of priorities for the application of scarce resources) is incapable of suppression the increase in demand for falsehoods. (d) the Finance, State, Academy, Media, Entertainment, Advertising industries benefit from the the sale and distribution of these falsehoods. So yes, market demand for falsehood is increasing market demand for conflict, which cannot be resolved due to the cheap cost and incentives for the distribution of falsehoods, and suppressed the production and distribution of truths. And that is why yes, intelligence, education, the quality of information, and the curatorial function of intellectuals have all declined. Either you have a eugenic polity whose wealth is limited to productivity independent of increases in population, or you will have a dysgenic polity whose accumulated genetic, behavioral, cultural, institutional, territorial capital are consumed by a small number of generations. This isn’t a novel theory. The cycles of rise and decline have been studied by multiple historians for thousands of years. The chinese found a method of persistence through vicious prosecution of criminals, intolerant colonization and forcible integration, and perhaps most importantly agrarian and financial eugenics that over three generations continuously cull family after family from the reproductive pool. America was founded by eugenicists -they just didn’t use that terminology. They used ‘people of good character’. And we maintained the eugenic movement through the first world war. It was the intentional effort of the post war eastern european ashkenazi that worked full time every day to underming every single institution. Conspiracy? No It’s their way of life. Just like islam is the muslim way of life. Just like sovereignty and markets are the european way of life. Just like harmony, hierarchy and bureaucracy are the chinese way of life.

    Martin Štěpán

    Germanic religion, in so far it can be called that, wasn’t in any way centralized. There was no organization and no book every tribe would have. Every tribe’s version could slowly evolve and diverge, especially if they didn’t come into contact. What we have comes from Iceland written after Christianity was already in place. Even though the gods were shared and Odin does appear to be the head of the pantheon everywhere (Tacitus – central European Germanics, Geoffrey of Monmouth – Saxons) but who knows how the personalities and the stories might have differed.

    Bill Joslin

    fight fire with fire, and psychopomp with psychopomp.

    P, in clarifying the reality of the socio-economic world, turns the wheel of gods, one more rotation back to tyr. law, born of martial culture which domesticates .. a natural response to Fenrir breaking his chains to race across the sky undoing the domestication of our animal nature.

    Bill Smith

    This. This is good.

    Curt.

    Yeah, Bill has a thing there. That’s a good thing.

    THE SOCIAL FUNCTION OF ELITE UNIVERSITIES

    Elite universities open the door to cushier jobs – meaning they don’t have to work with commoners – without having to compete in the ‘real’ market. Top universities are, to some degree, a test of character – which is why governments prefer to hire from them when possible. Not because people are more capable, but because they are less likely to take risks that would jeopardize their investments in their privileged and high status positions. This strategy has worked in china and in europe. It has worked less well in the USA for reasons well understood.

    Creative, innovative, high agency, high risk takers are not suitable for the top universities and the ‘academic grind’.

    This is the hard wall that I didn’t hit, but Taleb did. It’s why he went off the deep end. Its because it turns out that there is a very good reason those people from good schools get those jobs and more ‘dynamic’ people don’t.

    Because the more responsibility the higher the risk to those one is responsible to. And europeans do not seize non-productive opportunities.

    There are opportunities for profit that men of character do not seize because they are unproductive. Taleb did. So did Soros. And Bernie Madoff’s don’t go to Harvard or Yale.
