@ArtemisConsort Is he the attractor? Your long-form writing got me closer than anything I've ever come across to faintly touching religion. Is there a bridge between your framework and His?
@ArtemisConsort Very well said. Sometimes the JQ theories function *very* similarly to the anti-white theories; vaguely defined "systemic" factors & smoke filled rooms of endless in group preference.
Both positions have a point, yet conveniently ignore the discrepancies in g between groups.
@ubiquitousnewt Your attempt to assure these people that the acknowledgement of statistical group level disparities are not motivated by some secret animus, inevitably falls on deaf ears.
@ubiquitousnewt In my experience, a vanishingly small % of people who grant some version of HBD meet the aforementioned criteria.
Its usually people with a background in statistics/applied math, that cannot help but notice that blank-slatism is truly unsustainable as an empirical endeavor.
@ArtemisConsort Great point. Religions are probably false on a propositional level, but function as a prerequisite OS for getting large groups to cooperate long enough to build civilizations. They are "true" on a deeper level that requires using a proprietary definition of "truth".
@ubiquitousnewt Do you not find it hard to separate them?
The findings of psychometrics are so load-bearing to my prescriptions that it feels impossible to discuss politics irl without it eventually coming up.
The fact that non euro immigrants are likely to support endlessly holding the door open behind them, sadly implies that true wide scale trans racial integration isn’t really possible. Letting too many in means surrendering your borders to their intuitions, and thus the rest of the world.
Women want to date at same level or above for trait x.
Trait x can be “height” or “iq”.
By virtue of being at the 99th percentile in trait x, the viable candidates for a woman are ever fleeting.
I acknowledge the social burden is asymmetric. Conceptually, it is very similar, though.
Mmm. I think by female standards you are very low agreeableness. It expresses itself as a sterile, logical disposition. A lack of interest in just going along with things because they sound nice. An orientation towards accurate descriptions of reality. I am the same unfortunately. Very useful for self improvement and building maps of the world, less helpful when interfacing with the median person. I often feign agreement on load-bearing progressive assumptions irl to smooth things over.
I sometimes ask myself “do you want to be sociable, or descriptively accurate?”
For a shockingly high % of people, the point of communicating is not ‘saying/knowing correct things’; it’s belonging, acceptance and safety. It’s scented candles. It’s interior design.
Once you realise the person you are talking to is “one of them”, trying to accurately map the terrain becomes a negative EV move. They don’t use words in the way you do. The telos behind each word they speak is not aligned with ours.
