    Not that I’m other than a critic of Blackrock, but in this case, as he’s saying, I don’t think he’s wrong. What he’s indirectly saying is ‘stop immigration’. In other words there is no economic need for immigration if we automate, because it is those imigrant jobs that will be automated. I’ve made the case that we have 100m too many people in the USA for the enxt century, and that most of them are dead weight and unemployable. SO do you want to support 100m people by your labors or do you want them not to come here 9and maybe go home) in the first place?

    SEX DIFFERENCES DISCUSSIONS ARE SILLY FOR OBVIOUS REASONS
    This is silly. We keep trying to frame sex differences in the context of economic productivity and political influence, instead of why the sexes evolved as the do. Women need to mature enough to reproduce quickly and to extend their nervous systems by hyper empathizing to account for the challenge of mentally observing, caring for, and regulating the minds, behavior, and development of thier offspring and to do so by the spectrum of ‘seductive’ care taking and emotional regulation.
    The males (who are unfortunately, more disposable, and replacable) have to instead, mentally track the condition of territory, resources, and assets that must be systematically understood because it’s partly beyond their perception. This is the opposite need of the female.
    So, women mature earleir and LESS than men, who mature later and more. But what does later and MORE mean? It means instead of empathizing with what’s in front of you IN-TIME, men systematize what’s NOT in front of the OVER-TIME. So the sex differences effectively result in a division of labor in time given sex roles. This plays out as women favor attention and consumption and externalization of resonsibility (for status) and men favor accumulation of capital and responsibility for it (for status) and status is just the measure of the discount on opportunities for cooperation, and cooperation is a discount on time, whether in-time(short term) or over-time(long term).
    Now, what I suppose my work has taught me, is that all human developmental behavior occurs because of minor – very minor – bias in biochemistry, neurological composition, and most importantly neurological organization (what connects to what and how much).
    So, it’s perhaps easier for me to understand and explain sex differences in development and maturity because I understand the (very simple) set of rules that cause sex differences and variation between us in addition to those sex differences.
    At present we’re writing this section of the book, but somehow I feel it’s not as good as my courseware becasue there in slides I can use graphics, illustrations, diagrams, and videos.
    But really, In my foundations and methods work, I try to list ‘dimensions’ which are the ‘levers’ that cause variation between us. And the variation between the sexes is just a few of those ‘levers or knobs’ and our vast diferences in behavior, especially at the extremes, are the product of just variation in those dimensions.
    It’s disturbingly simple.
    BUT it’s only disturbingly simple if you seek to know what is and why FIRST instead of justify what you want or wish it was.
    Cheers

  • BRUTAL TRUTH ON THE ORIGIN OF SEX DIFFERENCES IN COGNITION AND BEHAVIOR No. Men

    BRUTAL TRUTH ON THE ORIGIN OF SEX DIFFERENCES IN COGNITION AND BEHAVIOR

    No. Men want women to stop destroying capital from within using your pretense of care which is just suppressing neuroticism by advertising that you’re not a threat, evading threats by evading responsibility for regulating the behavior of others, and evading responsibility for your and your children’s feeding, clothing, housing, safe and high trust commons, medical, retirement, and regulating your impulsivity that you can barely regulate at all, and together with your neuroticism, that you sedate with attention seeking and hyperconsumption, and hypergamy, regardless of cost to the polity.

    You see the big lie of equality is over. We know the physical biological and cognitive construction of the female and feminine mind and that above is the CAUSAL or origin of all feminine behavior. Why? The male mind is predatory because we are predators. The female mind is prey, because women and children are in fact prey. That the brain is organized as predator and prey, and that the sexes evolved to bias in favor of predator and prey, is just the division of labor between the empathic now and the systemic then.

    The difference is that predators have more agency, particularly in self regulation of instinct and impulse, and prey has less especially in self regulation of instinct and impulse.

    In other words “feminine feels and masculine reals.”

    Do you think I like this? My job is necessary. But I don’t necessarily like it.

    So, no. I preferred when we had our roles and didn’t lie about equality, and we treated everyone by sex, class, ethnicity, and race in the recognition that we must seek to work together to overcome our differences when possible and avoid conflict when not.

    Instead the feminine left seeks to lie that we are in fact equal rather than that we should treat each other equally within the limits of the abilities of our sexes, classes, ethnicities and races.

    And the result of the feminine desire to lie to evade the responsibility for mediating conflict while maximizing responsibility for self, private, and common GENERATES THE CONFLICT THE FEMININE SEEKS TO EVADE.

    Women are not just arbitrarily irrational, but their irrational behavior originates in an irrational instinctual conflict between their means of seduction, manipulation, competition and warfare and their prey response’s and it’s neuroticism’s desire to evade the costs of that conflict at all costs.

    If you study my work, at least after we publish (hopefully the end of this year), you will grasp that human behavior is disturbingly simple. And Darwin’s defeat of the supernatural will seem tepid inconsequence by contrast.

    Because it will be very difficult to lie about anything from that point on.

    Cheers.

    No joke. I’ve tried a few napkin sketches on the cost of javascript worldwide and I can’t come close to a believable number because it so vast. It’s insane. I mean, interpreted languages are fine with current hardware but without the equivalent of data types, a compiler, syntax and logic errors are vast.
    Secondly, add that while the chrome architecture appears to tolerate it, we’re still using virtual doms and the sh—t code required to counter-intuitively manipulate them. That should all be built into the browser, and the syntax nightmare should be over with.
    Third, because of all this we have to write ungodly amounts of test scripts, and maintaining them is a nightmare given the ease and frequency of JS changes.
    I’m all for the browser as a pseudo-operating system. It’s more complex than the OS’s today anyway. I do NOT want to go back to having to ship code on disks or force downloads and reinstalls every time we want to ship a tweak. That’s crazy. But this nonsense has got to stop. And unfortunately we’ve now trained two generations of devs to do sh—t work with sh—-t tools.

    If we are successful in enacting ‘right to repair’ that will prevent spending on non-durable products, planned obsolescence and “Shoddyism” (yes that’s a thing) meaning he practice of making or selling goods that are cheaply made and likely to break or wear out quickly, often despite appearances or claims of durability.

  • Q: CURT: “WHY CAN’T WE CENTRALIZE PRODUCTION?” There are some things the state c

    Q: CURT: “WHY CAN’T WE CENTRALIZE PRODUCTION?”

    There are some things the state can direct, which is largely defense, transportation and communication infrastructure, primary research and development in any competitive or comparative advantage, strategic trade policy, strategic industry, treasury, and law (courts). Of those, only ‘strategic industry’ is open to variations because the constitution of strategic industry varies constantly in time and over time.

    What is government good at:
    Capital formation and the organization of production and maintenance of those goods, services, and information that the private sector cannot achieve because of risk, time frame, and capacity to profit from it, while maintaining the production of a public good.

    Why is government bad at almost everything
    1. You’re apparently unaware of the “knowledge problem”: how government control creates poverty, corruption, and decline:
    (The knowledge problem, as articulated by economists, highlights the inherent limitations of governmental entities in acquiring the vast, dispersed information and the incentives necessary to produce goods, services, and information that the market can otherwise generate. This combination of ignorance and incentives leads to corruption within government as officials exploit their authority for personal gain in the absence of market disciplines and accountability.
    At the same time their failure and corruption degrade public trust and incentivize individuals to circumvent official channels, leading to the formation of black markets. These underground economies emerge not just as a symptom of regulatory and economic failure, but also as a pragmatic response by citizens seeking goods and services that are otherwise unattainable or exorbitantly priced due to government intervention. Thus, the knowledge problem underscores a fundamental challenge: without the nuanced understanding and incentives provided by market mechanisms, governmental interventions often result in widespread inefficiencies and societal corruption.)
    So 1. Failure of the pricing system to provide necessary complexity reduced to useful information 2. Necessary incompetence that results. 3. Lying and Corruption that results as a consequence. 4. The collapse of public trust, collapse of public incentives, public expansion of free riding, and the formation of black markets. 5. The resulting poverty as all these overhead costs more than exceed the costs and uncertainty of markets wherever markets CAN supply good services and information.

    What is the optimum role of government in the economy?
    1. Non Market Long Term Capital Production: Military, Infrastructure, Treasury, Insurance of Last Resort, – Possibly including medical infrastructure (buildings and equipment)
    2. Basic Research: not academic research but basic scientific and technological research that provides a competitive advantage.
    3. Venture Capitalist: Venture capitalist in strategic industry, formation of new industry, resulting public participation in profits of the industries governments have used public funds to invest in.
    If this means starting the production within the government, and when viable, turning it over to private sector management, or whether it means investing in private sector industries to maintain or expand comparative advantage, the utility of the government as an investor ‘and capitalist’ seeking returns for the public in lieu of taxes, is irrelevant. The government can accumulate capital in ventures that are necessary for the public good, useful for the public good, and that may take a long time to produce returns, while the private sector is better at making use of capital and producing returns on capital once a market exists.
    4. Subsidy of Primary Production: This is where our food supply requires vast regulation and reconstruction. And it is the only primary production that appears to be necessary,
    5. Insurer of Last Resort
    – Resolution of Conflicts (courts)
    – Disaster Recovery and Reconstruction
    – Defense
    And I’m reluctant to add these because they’re going to need vast reforms:
    – Catastrophic medical care
    – Catastrophic elder care
    – Catastrophic unemployment
    – Catastrophic genetic burden and resulting incompetence at survival.

    Everything else is better done by the private sector.

    Cheers.

    Hmm. Yes of course. However, an increasing number, and in the near future a vastly increasing number will be left behind on the margin as we pass the tipping point between increasing human productivity and the cost of human existence within that system of productivity, We are already at the point where more than 15% are effectively incapable of self sustainability in the current degree of development. I expect this number to pass twenty, then twenty five. Had the eugenicists not been overthrown by the excesses of the Nazis we might have controlled it. But even dreams of UBI are fantasies as this equilibrium continues to decrease the margins.

    This doesn’t mean what you think it does. The baseline for survival has increased as much as has productivity. Ie: You can’t live on subsistence farming today. So I tend to interpret these claims as dishonest to ignorant, to conflict generating ideological fraud.
