  • Origins of Homosexuality

    Jan 24, 2020, 8:57 PM (for some reason jayman is countersigning and I haven’t figured out why yet) Again: This is because as far as I know, homosexuality is an in utero developmental failure that was insufficient to produce either male brain or miscarriage. The two most common theories attribute this to immune system responses to internal (genetic) or external (viral) stimulus.

    —“No that’s not what it is, nor does that make any sense whatsoever. That said male and female same-sex attraction likely do have different etiology”—JayMan @JayMan471 It makes perfect sense. AFAIK immune response, possibly to T. That doesn’t mean it’s true. If you have a better body of science to work from then I’d love to see it. But this is a subject I’ve followed for three decades, and the two theories are still out there working. —“[See] Greg Cochran’s “Gay Germ” Hypothesis – An Exercise in the Power of Germs”—JayMan @JayMan471 Agreed. That doesn’t nullify the (a) runs in families (b) second son, (c) testosterone and immune system theories. As for the viral is merely that I can’t falsify the hypothesis, so I’m not willing to take it off the shelf. And BTW: Nothing in that set of articles or any other, undermines the hypothesis that (like cervical cancer by viral transmission) that there isn’t some other immune trigger either heritable or environmental that produces the defect in development. BTW 2: So far in the two or three times you’ve disagreed with me it’s because you are rushing to judgment. I realize that the world is full of idiots you must defend your time and space against. But I’m not one of them. -hugs This paper is accessible, from 2016, and summarizes the findings from across the decades. It’s rather obvious that “The fraternal-birth-order effect” is currently the most convincing cause, and its heritability, a most convincing vulnerability.’

  • Our Pagan Ancestors Were Monogamous

    Jan 29, 2020, 8:20 PM by Igor Rogov The only principal difference is that monogamy in “pagan” world included sexual relationships with concubines and slaves within the same household as a lawful sexual activity, with progeny either being accepted as slaves or officially adopted by household owner, or becoming “proletariat” through an official practice of abandonment. Jewish monogamy narrowed down what was allowed significantly, but not entirely – sexual relationships with slaves persisted in Jewish households under Ottoman empire. Christianity almost entirely got rid of concubines and slaves as acceptable sexual partners and out-of-wedlock progeny was reduced to historical minimum for centuries up until 20th century. Counting Islam as Abrahamism, it was a significant step backwards with a return of official practice of concubinage, slavery and multiple wives.


    (CD: AFAIK: the root of the IE word for wife was ‘abducted’. lol )

    Mimi you are a woman arguing your feminine moral instincts and completely over your head in political argument.

    Life is Competition
    All politics is proxy for violence.
    The subtext in all political discourse is violence.
    All Political argument, demands under threat of violence.

  • Monogamy as Competitive Normative Commons

    Feb 22, 2020, 11:35 AM by Alain Dwight Sex transactions outside of monogamous, familial structures can constitute a damage against monogamy, stable families, and investment in children as social norms, which is the optimum strategy for some groups. Arguably, it’s the best overall strategy since the groups who have done this, have become the dominant force on the planet – and to the degree that status is challenged, we are slipping into a dark age. It’s still possible other strategies could work. In any case, imposing a cost on normative commons will be met with retaliation, our choice is if that retaliation is at a disorganized street level or in an organized institutional level. I suggest both, as I prefer to have people bear their own costs as opposed to free riding on commons that they choose to undermine. These normative commons provide such a competitive advantage that it’s questionable if any groups that fail to offer sufficient defense/retaliation will even continue to exist or forward any of their values they claim to champion. It might be worth it to allow some elite members to operate outside monogamy but without maintaining monogamy as a norm, competitive advantage is often or always compromised.

  • What Does White Mean?

    Feb 23, 2020, 3:03 PM (possibly controversial post warning)(This post covers genetic differences in neoteny, cognition and personality between geographic groups, and between the sexes. Stop reading if you are concerned you would be offended.)

    —“White means….”— Elizabeth Anonymous

    Hmmm…. I do science. I leave intellectual dishonesty for others. We don’t have a term for Genetic, Ethic, Europeans other than ‘White’. But “White”, meaning Ancestral Ethnic European, is easily genetically determinable. In general, at least six generations are necessary to launder ethnic outbreeding. Even, by six generations someone will still express certain dominant traits despite constraining breeding within the group. And it is still easy to determine the difference between a full Scandinavian and the same generation with an Iberian ancestor. Whites are the remains of the post-glacial maximum peoples, plus the early neolithic farmers, who were conquered, largely genocided and replaced by the ie’s. We are the most genetically homogenous people outside of Han-Korean-Japanese. The only open question is whether we include the remaining pre-ie Anatolian, early neolithic farmer populations of the Balkans, Greece, Southern Italy, and Sardinia in the classification ‘white’ out of cultural affinity under Christianity, or we limit ourselves to genetics using the european branch of the IE expansion: Itals (south), Germanics, Scandinavians, Baltics, Slavs, and Finnics. The rest of the Caucasians descend from the Iranic branch of the IE’s, and anatolians (Hittites), Caucasians (if they existed), and those that integrated into the Semitic peoples – are all lost to us. There were only a few post-glacial maximum west eurasian peoples, and the turks of the northern far east, are the only peoples of the post-glacial that are not indo europeans. Science is science. Women fear conflict. Women disapprove rather than accept an undesirable but true statement. Women will deny a truth to avoid conflict. Women will advance a falsehood to eschew conflict. While the male vs female distribution of personality Traits and Facets overlaps, the difference between the sexual (gender) relative homogeneity of traits, and the relative heterogeneity of Facets under those traits, is (a) agreeableness, (c) dominance expression, and this results in the (to females) annoying male habit of stating the truth despite the undesirability of it. It also accounts for the approximately 20% improvement in male detection of general trait expression and symmetric improvement in female detection of individual trait expression. In other words, males are more often correct in the ascertainment of empirically correct stereotypes than females, both at the perceptual-cognitive level and at the agreeability level. While women are equally superior at individual emotional empathy and incentive-sympathy. Net net of the science as it sits: Neoteny slows maturity and buys agency (neural formation) at the cost of emotional instability (creativity, neuroticism). This explains the high emotional instability of european women, and the nearly 1/3 of european women that experience psychological issues when not working in close association with other women to limit them. East asians are the most neotenous by far, europeans less so, africans and afro-asiatics lees so. This is why east asians, then europeans, then afrio-asiatics (semitic peoples), the africans have increasing rates of maturity at decreasing agency and verbal ability. Europeans (a) have not over-neotenized like the east asians nor under neotenized like the africans, and at the same time we have practiced cold weather eugenics for thousands of years. So between our neotenic development, our least-clannish(racist) temperament, our balance of verbal and spatial abilities, and our development of sovereignty (what we mistakenly call individualism) and the culture that resulted from it, including tripartism (markets between miltiary-judicial, producers-philosophers, and priests-theologians, we developed reason, empiricism, science, technology and medicine faster than all other peoples in the world combined. Ergo, unfortunately, it’s true that at last working class and upward whites are genetically and culturally superior in those ways necessary for the production of advanced and rapidly advancing civilization. And demand by women and immigrants to revert our civilization to primitive, reality-denying, maladaptive, authoritarian, non-market civilization, just proves that (a) these other peoples are unable to integrate in our civilization because they cannot compete in it, (b) our women have defected against our civilization out of fear of conflict and are assisting the destruction of our civilization – just as women and slaves undermined and brought down the roman empire using Christianity from within. So christianity in the ancient world with the false promise of life after death, and promise of freedom from nature’s competition by marxism, socialism, postmodernism, feminism, human-bio-diversity-denialism, and ‘silencing the truth’ in the modern world to destroy western civlization yet again. It’s women that need to look in the mirror. Not men. We have the courage to face the man in the mirror. Do you have the courage to face the woman in the mirror? That is the only test of equality of agency that matters.
