Banks can't and won't loan out infinite amounts of money because it isn't profitable to do so. Nowhere did I say bank loans provided a never-ending source of money expansion or that banks were incentivized to create that scenario. Besides, an infinite money supply would make collateral worthless. The banks can absolutely do whatever they want with that money. ...no. I just specified what they could and couldn't do with QE. That's part of the obligation set up by the government purchasing long-te…

On this I agree. However, the strength of the dollar comes at the expense of running trade deficits that have hollowed out the U.S.'s manufacturing and commercial bases. That has and will continue to bite us in the ass with increasing severity.

The problem is velocity. Technically quantitative easing doesn't cause inflation because money is neither directly injected into the system nor forced to undergo velocity. Central banks buy assets from financial institutions with the caveat that the transferred money can't be kept or used for investment by the institutions in question; it must be lend out to stimulate demand. But the government can't force banks to choose borrowers indiscriminately. What ends up happening is banks turn risk-aver…

It wasn't a good trade for her. If anything, she married down relative to her Hollywood status. Rainier was in deep financial straits due to Monaco losing its near-monopoly on casino gambling after WWII. He was aiming to marry a Hollywood actress for the publicity it would bring to Monaco as well as money from the dowry. In Kelly's case, her father was a multi-millionaire in the construction industry wounded over being excluded from the Pennsylvania upper class (which was further inflamed by the…

Yes I agree which is why I was both surprised and skeptical when the website suggested that almost all the male spaces were taken but fewer of the female spaces If it's not explicitly mentioned that the event has a 50/50 split, then a small group of men is the default (and the organization likely had to fight tooth and nail for every attendee). Oftentimes men show up in droves for speed dating events within the younger age range, but they tend to be rather desperate and awkward.

From what I understand, the farther up the age ladder you go, the fewer men there are at those events, especially since most men prefer to date younger women. Think about it: if I were 40 and single I might be invited to a "40s" group in which every woman there would be my age or older. Why the hell would I want to do that unless I just wanted easy lays and wasn't too picky about where I got them? That's a sanguine interpretation. Most men would prefer to date younger women, but most lack the le…

One method is for women to just be in harems, but men who have no stake in the future of the society won't do the work that makes that society function, so the trade-off is that Chads and women "win" early and everybody loses in the end. Unless you're born handsome and charismatic, the most straightforward and atavistic means of snaring the necessary status is to assemble into localized groups with power i.e. tribes and gangs. This is already rampant among the British lower class and in the U.S.…

The woman is now in the bad position within a creditor-debtor relationship, one where her business precipitously depends on a single investor who has a potentially ruinous secret. She doesn't have any other large investors to keep her afloat; in fact, she is probably in danger of being overleveraged compared to the business' current cash flow. On the other hand, the investor is in a secure position. She was not under duress when the deal went down. There is no proof on her side that she was coer…

the benefit to the elite of creating mult-racial democracies is that they can stay in power while the plebs are at each others' throats. Then the elites are ill-versed in history.

The less attractive women there are the more competitive the dating market and the lower your chances are of getting laid. The social factors described in this article decrease the amount of viable women in the dating market.

Back in 2012 when the Red Pill first got started things weren't good or normal but sexually speaking they were better than they are now. Back in the day, all you had to do to get laid was take a picture of your abs in a dirty gym mirror and right swipe all the girls with low self-esteem, which was all of them. It was as easy as shooting father-less fish in a barrel. The advent of online apps (Tinder was launched in said year) was always going to benefit those with first mover advantage. Women di…

You're describing being a distant fuccboi You're mouthing feminist bromides. The original meaning of fuccboi was a loser who invested all his time and hopes into chasing tail. He would lie, cajole, suck up to, and annoy any girl to that end; the stench of desperation and posturing was his defining trait. There's no such thing as a 'distant' fuccboi.

I doubt that. How do you explain the rise and fall of beards on men then? Specifically, beards on men have long been a symbol of status, power and wisdom throughout history.

As an actual Asian (asian-asian) I believe it's more than that. Heian or pre-ww2 culture has long been washed away by communism/democracy (depending where you're from) and has absolutely no bearing on modern Asia unless it serves a specific corporate, political or gynocentric purpose. Or if it's simply symbolic. Democracy has had very little impact on Japan culturally; economic prosperity, on the other hand, was greatly influential.

There are Korean idols and stars who are very masculine in the traditional sense. Lee Byung-hun was the first person that came to mind. The "feminized" Kpop boys are a manufactured image by big corporations like JYP and other talent agencies in Korea. This is all economics and about selling an image, a brand, a "type" of man to the general public; that'll garner millions of dollars and fans.

Regarding the appeal of "feminized" men in Korea and Japan, it's the association of cleanliness and decorum with status. With the latter country, this is a very old social dichotomy that can be traced back to the Heian court.

As someone who studies economics as a side hobby, your assumptions regarding scaling of the supply-demand curve are less than solid. In fact, this was the heart of the controversy over the SMD theorem (which was posited over 40 years ago). Not to mention we're ignoring how central bank intervention has distorted market incentives to the point we cannot accurately gauge its state from traditional indicators.

This really doesn't make much sense. Of course, all else being equal, having money is better than not having money. The point I'm trying to make is no woman will find you sexually desirable based on your income. Whats the #2 rule of the old redpill? AF/BB.

Fair point. First I thought that the common goal could be an even redistribution of women, but then I realized that on a purely sexual level this wouldn't work, as for Chads it is counter-intuitive to relinquish their privilege, and the rest of the men can't do much to curtail women's freedom without instituting an anti-democratic system, which I am against.

Also true. But you definitely need a balance. If you make it a habit to make your partner insecure, that's just mental abuse. It's a two-way street. Male partners ought to ruminate on the pragmatic differences between flirting as a natural reaction and flirting as a deliberate tool. Female partners need to reign in looming paranoia and possessiveness; consequently, that requires assuaging their hypergamous impulses. I treat those conditions as a given. What's the alternative?

I'm in a commited relationship with someone I am happy with, but I still feel the urge to flirt with women, and frankly, my internal monologue about cheating is constant. Flirting with other women is a net positive.

Women long to be with a man that others covet but who chooses her. you will become pressured by instinc…

In the animal kingdom mammals may have the alpha as the only male reproducing but even then the only time females change sexual partner is when the alpha male gets killed and replaced, which is always a stressful event.

Women hate sharing top-tier men: it robs them of the ineffable status of being his one and only - making them superior to other women - and forces them to be ever-vigilant lest competition seeks to move in on their territory. But women will begrudgingly be a side piece rather than settle for the reticent, steady plumber.

The increase in subjective value comes from women from the outside looking in and comprehending the available population has shrunken; your supposition depends upon an independent objective measurement.

Women are attuned to social status as much as or more than resources. A blue collar worker making 6 figures remains "beneath" a white collar professional who enjoys additional prestige on account of public perception of her station. She won't deign to entertain the idea of marrying a lower class plebe. This is no different than nobility who refused the advances of rich merchants when the latter were rising up in medieval Europe.

Rollo doesn't actually believe women are consciously conspiring as an interest group to gaslight men into a malleable, benighted state. He's using rhetorical flair to emphasize how individual women use man-shaming to protect their own individual interests.

It's no different from a creation of a dust…

"She just couldn't hang on to a man"...even in the 50's-60's, men don't stay with women like this. It was a symptom of being in the Hollywood milieu, which was the precursor and harbinger to the current SMP.

Additionally, due to tattoos being widespread nowadays most of them display horrible aesthetic taste.

Historically, a tattoo's main significance was signalling your place in a brotherhood or organization with strict gatekeeping standards. You were supposed to wear it with pride as very few shared the same experience and getting one was a painful process. Today a tattoo's import has been watered down to nothing more than a personal statement. Ideal for girls, bad for men.

A movie is an enormous machine made up of innumerable parts.

The other aspect of the explanation is that men like emotional extremes when they are the catalyst. Our psychological makeup prefers taking action in order to incite emotion: we excel at sports, imitate battle/war in video games, and accomplish great deeds in order to feel adrenaline highs.

To be fair, if "getting scared" was cited as the reason it might be due to SMV discrepancy. There's a point where the guy is too high-value relative to the girl, which incites unrelenting paranoid and dread in her.

The "marriage premium" is a superficially true observation, but the causality and tradeoffs are obfuscated via various levels of bullshit and blatant sophistry. Men work harder and make more money when married because they have no other choice.

The Pareto principle as applied to intersexual dynamics is about desire, not copulation. It's only within the last 15-20 years that women have had the reach, proximity, and cloak of anonymity to fuck the "objective" elite instead of the local version; multiple independent sources suggest the ratio hovers around ~75/25 in urban areas.

It seems like this would still remain quite relevant within the AF/BB framework where 'higher valued' men are polygynous and their offspring can be raised, unknowingly, by others. I think you raise a nuanced point that there are more subtleties to the issue. The difference is that within the AF/BB framework, a woman's priorities change during her life-history depending on her ability to adequately harness sexual attraction. The Wall, the Epiphany Phase, etc. all spring around this gradual senesc…

Remember that like most narrow hypotheses of sexual selection, SSH has limitations in its ability to describe and predict behavior across multiple species. Its scope is restrained to a few groups like peacocks. The SSH hypothesis best applies to species that practice polgyny or have minimum male investment in nurturing and raising offspring. While it is practical for male members to mate as often as possible, this scales with the commitment it takes to raise progeny to adulthood. The basic tenet…

To use college as an example, the circumstances and attitudes it take to graduate are often vastly different than the skill set needed to succeed on the ground. It's a shibboleth among the upper-middle class that degrees are necessary for steady white-collar careers, a sentiment true to the extent businesses don't bother to provide job training. Their main purpose is signalling one's fitness for the job market (a trend beginning to reverse as employers realize such stringent demands were both un…

Impostor Syndrome is an interrelated but different psychological phenomenon. Both are about the failure to internalize the implications of behavior in the real world, thus resulting in failure to maintain a cohesive identity.

Evidence: Great rulers of all, at the very top of the SMV ladder and thus with the possibility to effect their sexual strategy, had both an official partner and the widest range of concubines possible. Funnily enough, most ancient societies developed (in time) a systematic integration of concubines into the ruling class. Usually they treated them with more respect and dignity, and demanded more in terms of desirable attributes, than the modern-day SMP too.

I perked up with curiosity about your concern regarding antipsychotics too, knowing that many of them are simply sleep medication or useful for anxiety. That's not something that is necessarily a red flag depending on its use. That got my attention too. I'm guessing OP's alarm system went off because carbamazepine is prescribed as a second-line agent for bipolar, not necessarily its original function as an antiepileptic. Based on C's behavior, my instinctive guess is either C is diagnosed with b…

Sorry about misreading that. Good luck with rebuilding your life, I know what a bitch that can be.

Just don't be the deluded sugar daddy who thinks his relationship is something more meaningful than a barter exchange, or that guy who tries to turn his escort into a therapist. Cringeworthy doesn't begin to describe it.

It's the closest (and technical legal) way to approach the appeal of a snuff film. If you interpret sex as a reflection and display of power, there's nothing more satisfying than shattering a taboo while knowing the girl is only doing it for the money. Which is why they always want to do it with girls who have a public presence. There's no point in defecating on some poor, hapless nobody even if she's smoking; doing it on someone with a goody two shoes, aspirational image magnifies the pleasure.

Sadly this process happens to a lot of guys. No matter how cognitively aware they are of the transactional nature of the sex, a part of them yearns to believe she's fucking him because of him. Not because he can pony up the cash and keep their sessions on the down low. Even the richest guys can turn possessive and paranoid when their favorite escorts remind them it's just business.

The real question: how come there’s an abundance of desperate men paying and flying these hoes all over the world? Which men are we talking about here? Like in all things, there is a gradient in terms of attachment. A lot of rich businessmen are betas when it comes to relationship game: they think a woman should appreciate the investment and expertise that goes into their job and be directly aroused by that. These are the guys who crush it at work but are utterly subservient to pussy. They're ea…

He probably means he cut out processed sugar, not natural.

I pretty much live with the same philosophy: cut out any substances that interfere with my focus and goals. I'm transitioning to the "classic Japanese diet" and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Porn is distinct in that the majority of the experience is fundamentally based on the female perspective. A rather odd assessment considering the vast majority of pornography from antiquity to the modern era was made by men for men. How could the lewd drawings/sculptures from Crete and Rome, or the outrageous publication of Fanny Hill in 18th century England, and be based on the "female perspective"? Especially if we assume the gradual adaption of feminine prejudice on a societal level started i…

That's pretty much Nassim Nicholas Taleb's argument for ecological rationality and belief systems as a form of society-encompassing risk management.

I'd say that's only true today. If you wanted to make a porn film in the 70's, you still needed to establish the relevant dynamics through some veneer of verisimilitude - hence "porn with plot". Now most of the shorthand is disseminated through the culture and taken for granted before you even watch a video. Theme and plot are superfluous when you know what you're going to get.

They're completely different things. Most gonzo porn has none of the former and plenty of the latter.

never about the plot or theme or symbology I'm talking about semiotics, not storytelling. It's also subconscious which is why it works so well.

I cannot imagine that the demand for incest is as high as how common the theme is. The appeal of porn isn't so much about the visceral enjoyment than the assemblage of signs that compose any specific "genre" (circularly, this is why porn is so easily segmented into genres). People aren't so much into genres as the subtext and meaning behind them. If you consider how emasculated and confused modern men are by our culture, it makes more sense. Society demands they live up to a narrow, feckless set…

However....you think they're more honest in a female space? No. Women may relay their true feelings to their closest confidants, but the hamster is a curse of self-rationalization; they can't be truly honest when they can't perceive the fundamental motivations behind their behavior. Furthermore conformity and jockeying for validation is forever prevalent within social groups, so they are even more invested in maintaining an acceptable front when they know others are paying attention. TL;DR Yes o…

Nietzsche was quite aware of the distinction between his work and his personal life. He wrote about all the things he strove, and often failed, to achieve.

Psychiatry is very important, requires a lot of education and you're handling medications that people depend on to function. Psychology is like the little sister to that. It's entry level, like "life coach" level filled with pop psychology. You're giving psychiatry too much credence. There have been several major crises over the last decade and a half that the profession has failed to address, and the root causes look suspiciously like the behind the "replication crisis" in psychology: over-reli…

It’s important to recognize that women can, and do, bully each other. It's odd to think that in the current era, this is something that has to be vocally mentioned. The standard stereotype used to be that women were jealous, judgmentally, catty, and backstabbing within their own social circles. Then the Sisterhood narrative (caring, nurturing, supporting each other against an oppressive world) was pushed and it became anathema to even suggest the original impression. It's like watching Nietzsche…

It wasn't an uncommon phenomenon when I was in university. While flirting wasn't overt and even actual rumors were rarely disseminated, several girls eventually admitted to having flings with professors or TAs. Mind you, they never framed it as opportunism; you had to read between the lines.

What!? Really? How? Is this in North America? I thought there is a taboo on it or something here? It's only a taboo if the professor makes the first move and if things soured, then the "he maliciously seduced and exploited me" narrative kicks in. Never underestimate the power of solipsism in rationalizing away behavior.

Not to mention the refusal to have children largely comes from women who choose a career-focused path and forgo relationships. That sums up the general problem with the article: it claims to be making an objective analysis of marriage as a historical trend, but its bent is clearly ideological. There is no scrutiny of the methodology of the studies (sociology is notoriously unreliable due to poorly thought out parameters and selection bias, not to mention stated versus revealed preferences is one…
