    by Nick Dahlheim The whole concept of inter-generational guilt is INSANE and not derivable by law, cooperation, reciprocity… The fact is, human history is filled with violence, terror, slavery / serfdom, war, genocide…these are the norms… The reality:

    —” 1) conquest and genocide has been dominant for all of human history, and the most influential actions peoples can take. (2) migrations in history are the norm not the exception. (3) asymmetric warfare is the norm not the exception. (4) the second generation of land migrants into the North American continent exterminated the first. The Romans exterminated the Celts. The Arabs exterminated five great civilizations of the ancient world and reduced them to ignorance and poverty. Which past crimes do we correct? Or do we work in the present to cooperate? “—-Eric Danelaw

    As a test of agency (man) vs the lack of it (animal) reason, science, and law does demarcate those of us who are fully human from those of us who are still principally animal. We are not equal. Speech does not qualify one as human no matter how sophisticated the parrot.

    The standard of decidability in law is malincentive, evidence, and warranty. (less well articulated as Means, motive, opportunity, and evidence)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeYR0H3DzXgWE CAN SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS BY MATURING POST HASTE

    by Brandon Hayes

    [Stop making justificatory arguments about feelings]

    The convergence points of the brightest minds are obvious to anyone that is looking (an example below):

    —“It’s the women who are going to stand-up to the women who are just trying to destroy conversation; and I think that that is something where, Jordan has talked about it; none of the men want to make this argument, it would be better optically if it were women saying “Hey, some of us are out of line! this is too much and it’s too aggressive and you can’t say “mansplaining” about EVERYTHING.” — Eric Weinstein

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeYR0H3DzXg

    ———–

    “WHY DO WOMEN ENGAGE IN NAXALT?”

    —“Question – why do women hate generalizations more than men? Women far more inclined to say “yes but not all X are like that!”, where as men get the idea that trends exist, even if some individuals are outliers to this trend. Is it to do with the risk or social ostracism or one of these female power plays?”— A Friend

    It’s not complicated:

    Herd Instinct: Fear of being ostracized, ‘left behind’, or ‘left out of resource consumption’, or having her children face the same, because despite their children’s empirical value to the tribe,women want their children to have the best opportunities for social, economic, and reproductive success.

    Men think of the tribe (generalization) women think of themselves (solipsism) and their offspring (individualism).

    Female Herd “who will be harmed by this truth”,

    -vs-

    Male Pack “what opportunity can be seized by this truth”

    Hence why monogamy was a compromise that succeeded by dividing labor, and while no one had perfection each person had a ‘chance’ of benefitting from the division of labor between the genders.

    The question is, now that women are at least marginally as capable in the workforce within the boundaries of the majority of jobs ‘in the middle’ (easy jobs), we are returning to serial marriage, or single motherhood (maternalism).

    To men, everything is a distribution (bell curve). To women everything is a flat line in the making.

    – Curt Doolittle

    —-

    We ought not destroy competing packs to benefit the herds. Herds can’t respond efficiently to rapidly changing environments; what you get instead of problem solving is panic.

    Panic among animals shortens their time horizons (they make quicker decisions less thought through) for shorter term gains. This mistake accumulates until the day of reckoning comes about. The day all of your “not planning for the future” comes back to haunt you.

    Strong feelings are not the equivalent to being correct. There isn’t a feel good substitute for truth; no matter how much we’d like there to be!

    Germans do not achieve excellence by radical IQ as do the Anglos, they achieve it by Truth, Duty, and Piety. You can’t learn IQ, but you can learn Truth, Duty, and Piety. And if you HAVE IQ nothing stops you from ALSO adopting Truth, Duty, and Piety.
