Imprinted Brain Theory
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imprinted_brain_theory Another evolutionary explanation is the “imprinted brain theory” which argues that psychosis and autism are contrasting disorders on a number of different variables. This is argued to be caused by an unbalanced genomic imprinting favoring paternal genes in the case of autism and maternal genes in the case of psychosis.
Emotionless vs Emotionally Disciplined
emotionless = one does not have emotions of the intensity necessary to interfere with one’s thoughts, words, displays and deeds -versus- emotionally disciplined = one does not let emotions interfere with one’s thoughts, words, displays and deeds..
We are the gods.
There is no god, but Men – Men of Truth , Agency, Sovereignty, Reciprocity, and Maneuver. We are the gods. That is why the liars, the weak, the ignorant, the incompetent and the unsovereign had to invent false gods – to oppose us. With the unification of horse, wheel, bronze, maneuver, oath, and sovereignty, we…

Philosophy for Grownups
https://naturallawinstitute.com/2018/03/19/philosophy-for-grown-ups/ PHILOSOPHY FOR GROWNUPS (repost) 1. The only truths we know for certain are falsehoods. Everything that is not false is a truth candidate. This is the inverse of the fallacy of justificationism and the central insight of the sciences: the means by which we invent or grasp an idea contribute nothing to whether or…
Not All X Are Like that / All X Are Like That
NOT ALL X ARE LIKE THAT / ALL X ARE LIKE THAT —“NAXALT presumes arguments on distribution are asserting AXALT. It’s applying lower order assessment to results of more complex systems (collapsing scales)”— Bill Joslin —“If you don’t actually understand AWALT none of it will make sense. Solipsism means they can’t separate themselves from a…
Let me help you understand.
Um. Let me help you understand. 1) Texas Has Its Own Power Grid. 2) Texas Has Its Own Ports 3) Texas Has Its Own Oil 4) Texas’ Economy is the same size as Russia and Italy. 5) Texas is almost as big as Western Europe (France, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, northwest italy, and a good part…
Do Races Exist?
—“Races don’t genetically exist”— I don’t generally want to debunk this argument, because it’s intellectually insulting to even have to and it brings Island 120 wannabe idiots out of the woodwork. (a) it’s pseudoscientific nonsense that takes advantage of human statistical and genetic illiteracy. People don’t like feeling stupid and played, or being corrected when…
Laying Down the Law on Social Pseudoscience
@KennethBuff @sapinker People vote POWER given the CONDITIONS of competition. That’s why Democracy works for selecting priorities in a homogenous polity but not choosing differences in a heterogeneous polity, and why there is so much friction between American ‘tribes’. Any time we state an incomplete premise we feed discord by supplying bias confirmation by doing…
Are You Sure You Really Want Such a Debate or Discussion?
I’ll debate/discuss IDEAS with you, but are you sure you really want such a debate or discussion? What if you will lose, or find out that you’re wrong? What if you will lose or find out that you’re wrong badly? What if you have over-invested and built your self confidence, understanding of the world, or…
To persuade me that a theocratic solution is possible …
Faith and justification, and the use of faith and justification differs from the use of science and falsification. The former (justification) enforces priors and causes stagnation, the latter (falsification) defeats priors and causes evolution. I don’t make justifications or pragmatisms. I just solve for what’s true. If it’s true I ask if it’s existentially possible.…
The Incommensurability of Emotional vs Intellectual Honesty
We often Make the mistake of assuming that all but a very small percentage practice intellectual honesty (or dishonesty) – or even are capable of it. Intellectual honesty requires extraordinary agency that is available only to a tiny fraction of the population. The majority are capable of and practice emotional honesty and dishonesty. And…
The Two Fold Morality of Achilles
by Adam Voight The morality of Achilles is two fold: 1) Freedom – Rulers do not own the ruled; rulers owe their power to attracting good subjects who will fight for them and serve them. This is revealed in Achilles’ dealings with Agamemnon and Menelaos. 2) Universal Honor code – Just because you are fighting…
—“why Are We Not Seeing a Shock from Gender Asymmetry in India and China?”—
1- Economic opportunity is masking conflict – as it always does. The return of economic limitations restores group conflicts. 2 – Substantial underclass populations still preserving family. 3 – So there is sex pressure but still hope. 4 – And there is marriage retention and still hope. 5 – Unlike the west, they are not…

Components of a Post Abrahamic Religion
The Goal (godhood / transcendence) The Strategy (velocity : truth, sovereignty, reciprocity, Law, Markets) The Law ( productive, fully informed warrantied, voluntary transfer free of imposition of costs by externality, through action or inaction) The Histories and The Heroes The Festivals and The Rituals The Oath The Disciplines (Stoic, Epicurean)
—“Truth? I thought you just told the truth, and that’s it!”—
Well, you can speak honestly regardless of whether what you say is true. It’s the level of falsification you apply and the warranty you put behind it. Honest > Truthful > True > Analytically True > Tautological. Honest(personal but not instrumental due diligence complete) > Truthful(instrumental Due diligence complete) > True(proper) > Analytic Truth(math, logic)…
—“Do you have to be right-Wing and emotionless to be a masculine / real man ?”—
Um. I dunno about emotionless, but if that means “not open to feminine manipulation or argumentative sophistry”, then yes. As far as I know to be a left wing man requires you’re effeminate in temperament, suggestible under effeminate manipulation, a practitioner of argumentative sophistry, and you are completely ignorant of demographics, genetics, economics, and the…
—“What is the central dogma of the postmodern left?”-
THE POSTMODERN CANON (Really, this is the answer). 1. All that matters in governance is power, and as such all that matters is getting power, and therefore groups must do whatever possible to obtain power by any means. 2. Truth, reason, science, reciprocity, value, are therefore just one means of obtaining power and therefore irrelevant…

As German defense minister said “Iran is on our doorstep so…” meaning that they are afraid because europe is weak. and so they will cave. Meanwhile Trump is trying to force Europeans to redirect their capital to the military which would neutralize their trade advantage with the USA. These things are quite simple as a…
