Genes dont require us to be conscious of our motivations for evolution to proceed. All plants strive to reproduce, they do it without benefit of a central nervous system, let alone self-knowledge. Wanting orgasm and wanting children and wanting a genetic legacy are the same drive as far as the genes are concerned. We couch it in cultural adaptations today and contraceptives have certainly changed the game, but what we can say for certain, tautologically, is that the genes of people who choose no…

People are the ultimate arbiters of value. If we choose to value shiny yellow rocks, then gold is valuable. If a person values leaving a progeny, then their progeny is valuable. What else could "benefit" mean to an individual? Survival? Survival is itself a Darwinian imperative. Money? Chasing government paper is no more laudable a goal than making copies of genes, and it has a much shorter pedigree than reproduction. The world is populated exclusively by the descendants of people who valued rep…

Evolution does operate on the level of genes and complexes of genes but it's still meaningful to say that Ghengis Khan was an evolutionarily successful individual. It may be playing a little loose with the language but it just means that there are more of his genes as a percentage of the gene pool than there are competing alleles. As far as future benefit is concerned, more copies is all genes "value", while individuals are free to value whatever they choose. Some people value grandkids, some va…

The contract has also shifted for men. Marriage doesn't confer social status on men the way it used to. While the 35 year old frat boy doesn't get much respect either, there are multiple respectable archetypes of the confirmed bachelor that are available to men now.

Two parents are required. That's the ideal arrangement. Marriage as an institution is how social pressure was applied to enforce that arrangement.

Benefits did accrue to both the husband and wife, bit that's not the reason the institution exists. The reason society encouraged marriage was because it was the vehicle through which the next generation of citizens were produced and trained.

The principle purpose of marriage was never to benefit the husband (though husbands and fathers used to be higher status men) or to benefit the wife (though it did ensure she would be cared for in her later years). The principle purpose of marriage, the reason it was enshrined as a social technology, was to provide the optimal environment in which to raise children. Children are the beneficiaries of marriage, not husbands or wives.

The racial stuff was central to the NSDAP. Eliminating "slavery to interest", in their words, was absolutely essential to the programme. Breaking the stranglehold of the international finance system was bound to cause a conflict between the German people and Jewish financial interests. Was there a way to win that fight without at a minimum expelling Jews from Germany? Maybe, maybe not. Given the way WW1 ended, I wouldn't dismiss this as an invented bogeyman. I am less confident that the invasion…

Yes, that's them. The economy boomed, German birth rates soared, they built infrastructure projects that remain the envy of the world without saddling future generations with the bill. The architecture had grandeur. The people flourished. They get a bad rap because of the Jewish genocide and because they lost the war, but I challenge you to show me how 1933 - 1939 was not a golden age for the German people. It was a prime example of a Western nation possessed of cultural confidence, and marriage…

Those are good posts. When I think of the "golden ages" of human civilization, the civilizations where Western civilization really flourished, I think of (in no particular order) the Roman Republic, Victorian England, the Italian Renaissance, NatSoc Germany, 1950's USA, and Napoleonic France. All of them had strong social order and valued marriage (of course there was still philandering and cuckoldry but it was shameful and kept private).

I'm going to second the notion that objective standards of beauty exist. If there was no such standard, we wouldn't have that consensus on what 'ugly' is. Michelangelo's David is a prime example of an objectively handsome man. Drop a man who looks like that in any nation, in any period in history, and if he's not killed by the local men, he's going to be the recipient of female attention. Beauty is one of the three transcendentals, alongside Truth and Goodness. The notion that it's entirely subj…

Reagan's is a complex legacy. He is revered by the right because under his presidency the Soviet Union collapsed (technically it was during his 3rd term) but we shouldn't forget that it was Reagan who institutionally enabled female hypergamy by introducing no-fault divorce, and by granting amnesty to illegals in California, he turned those 55 electoral votes solid blue for the rest of time.

Like I said: "If they can up the conversion rate...". It is an assumption, but if you accept that creating a generation of women who are opposed to the idea of having children at all is bad for civilisation, then reversing that sentiment can only be a positive. It could still go wrong in novel ways, but at least you aren't raising a generation of women who view sterility as a civic virtue.

The TRP constant comes from the TRP rule of thumb to multiply what she tells you by three. The Oxdada formula presumes that the number of sexual partners a woman has had is related to the number of partners they admit to having taken as an inflated per-year value. For example, if a woman tells you she has had one partner, under this formula that means she has had one partner per year, since birth. An admitted number of 7 decays to ~2 partners per year.

That's not how natural selection works at all. Organisms vary.

Tits or GTFO is different. In a meritocratic online community, everyone is equal by default. "There are no girls on the internet" means that online, you don't get a pass for being a girl. Pure meritocracy. If someone tries to use their gender for advantage, they're admitting that they can't compete in a meritocracy. Hence: tits or GTFO.

Can purchasing precious metals be considered investing? I understand that it's a hedge against inevitable currency devaluation. Trading your currency for money and then laughing as the cost of a candy bar jumps to $10 might seem like a good investment, but is it really? An ounce of gold today has roughly the same purchasing power as an ounce of gold in 1970, so it hasn't gained any value. It's not like putting money into a business where it can potentially increase in value over time. Is buying …

A lot of good comics follow this same pattern.

There's a saying: "Your reputation is what your friends say about you. Your character is what your enemies say about you." After Manfred von Richthofen, The Red Baron, was killed over the Somme, the RAF organized a fly-past at his funeral and presented a wreath bearing the phrase "To Our Gallant and Worthy Foe". Your enemies won't shit on your character if you were a decent enemy.

It is an award, and also a social order, that strives to recognize people who make substantial contributions to French society. Coming from a military background, I found an order of this type that included both military and civilian (principally civilian) members curious. The scope of inclusion is very broad. Chemists, poets, architects, statesmen, generals, playwrights; it genui…

Any evolutionary trajectory that involves great-grandchildren is a successful one; regardless of how awesome or disappointing you think they are, they are descendants. Typically grandchildren are the litmus test for how successful any particular organism was. If you father a hundred children and they all end up dead or sterile, you're a collection of bad genes. If your children go on to produce more children, you're doing something right as far as your genes are concerned.

People never succeed in the evolutionary game because people aren't the players. Genes succeed. While genetic information is effectively immortal, individuals die off. Why should a given individual squander his short life for the benefit of his genes? Whether a person has many descendents or none matter not one whit after the person is dead, but producing offspring, and pouring energy into them, consumes resources that could otherwise be allocated to himself. Future generations are irrelevant, y…

Ghandi may be the recognizable public face of Indian independence, but Motilal Nehru is the man I credit with that victory. If India had followed Ghandi's plans and turned away from modernity, millions of people would have starved to death. He was assassinated just in time. He had done all the good he was going to do, his leadership was about to become destructive. The torch needed to be passed to sensible twentieth-century administrators, not a luddite fakir.

Instead we can re learn that no other system works but families. You're oversimplifying.

This should really be the last word in the debate. Studios want to make games with strong female protagonists and non-violent stories? More power to them. No one is required to buy that game. If there's a niche for it, maybe it'll even make money. Meanwhile the studio that makes a game about an assassin tearing up the rennaissance will be profitable. This is a debate that can truly be won simply by voting with your wallet.

I believe you, but that doesn't make any sense. Rape is regarded a serious crime but when a woman goes to the authorities, no one calls the police? By not going to the proper authorities, is the university not tacitly acknowledging that the rape allegation is most likely bullshit?

I'm not from the US and I don't understand how this works. If a person is accusing another person of rape, why is he being tried by the University? Isn't this a police matter? And if the accusations don't merit a court case, why do the accused not press charges (with the police, not the university) for defamation of character, slander, libel, perjury, whatever else? If someone falsely accused me of sexual assault, after clearing my name I would make it my mission to destroy that person.

For those of us who aren't mathematicians, mathematics is really only useful in its ability to help us understand other concepts in a concrete way. I hate this point of view.

Introversion is a character trait that a person is born with. It's not something you develop deliberately so its not something you can be proud of.
