Hell, find me an influential public intellectual who follows in my footsteps here. To restate my main gripe: All these people (notably the pundits, likely due to inadequate levels of imagination) have allowed the point-systems they track, obsess over and speak of to game them and their minds. They then persuade the public, a share of which who might’ve otherwise had a shot at escaping the gamified circus, but ultimately won’t seeing as there’s nothing visible to imaginatively aspire to. Because dullards dominate the airwaves as well as the online silos. At no point in this video do I say or suggest lower unemployment is all bad. They’re saying (or at least always portraying) higher unemployment as all bad. Overton Window 101, because it’s all they know; it’s the conceptual water they swam in all their lives. They agree unanimously; the child who daydreams in class errs necessarily.

For istance, there's a chunk somewhere within this that should be titled "Local vs. Symbolic Politics" but I don't know where exactly and I don’t feel like rewatching it right now , but you'll know when/if you get to it. Like so:???-???

In other vids I often write “I’ll add more later” after I include a bunch, and I almost never add the rest, and it almost never matters. Neither should this.I'm still peeved at myself for not having uploaded it last week, as it was 99% done then, and I just sat on the 1%, but at least the thumb we got out of it far surpasses whatever low-rent thumb I'd have come up with last week.

But this one closes out their most beloved record. As such, I’m half-anticipating a strike for having it here. This is just in case you choose to rewatch the intermission only to find the music gone. I can always change the song, but no replacement will work in terms of matching the images (unless I really feel like wasting my time to find something nearly as fitting). So enjoy while you can. Hope I’m wrong to worry!51:21-01:15:38 Watching old Raw between philosophy.Okay so there’s more to the second half than I’m willing to break down timeline wise. TLDR: Along with wrestling fans, I insult the promoters, the current neutered nature of the industry, the nostalgia indulgers, Vince McMahon, fashion lovers, fans of carnivals and monster truck rallies, CRT/book banners, DeSantis and theoretical conservatism, fair weather paternalists, people with fervent gender ideologies who use “gender ideology” to denote other groups but never their own, and I’m sure many other targets I can’t recall now, all dispersed across 51:21-01:15:38.

Just Eugenics No Avail 2023-05-19 | Full essay by Diana S. Fleischman: dissentient.substack.com/p/eugenicistAs short-form defensive treatments of eugenics go, this one’s unmatched. And I know of no superior long-form ones, for that matter.Intuitive eugenics: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6224511 “Participants were asked to select in a forced choice paradigm, which of two acts of inbreeding with actual family members they would want to avoid most. We found that the estimated fitness costs explained 83.6% of participant choices. Importantly, fitness costs explained choices also when the self was not involved. We conclude that humans intuit the indirect fitness costs of mating decisions made by close family members and that psychological inbreeding avoidance mechanisms extend beyond self-regulation.”The Cousin Marriage Controversy In Historical Perspective: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2605922 Patterns of Nonrandom Mating Within & Across 11 Major Psychiatric Disorders:jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/article-abstract/2494707 The Reversal Test: Eliminating Status QuoBias in Applied Ethics: nickbostrom.com/ethics/statusquo.pdfIt's no secret that I'm no a fan of the coauthors of the last paper, but that doesn't mean I blind myself to the good work they do, when I see them do actual good work.Disability Rights, Prenatal Diagnosis and Eugenics: A Cross-Cultural View: link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10897-005-0573-0More links to come.Correction @ 18:30: Author wrote “homophobia” but I read it as “propaganda”.

Some Needs Are Hateful No Avail 2023-03-17 | Animals who can talk.Timeline:00:00-00:40 Low-effort Petersonian polemic, even by trad standards. 00:40-10:28 Outdoorsy rant against what I just subjected you to, and much more. I lash out at Peterson; decoupling anti-natalism from noise and setting up what’s to come. 10:28-14:58 Why biology and rationality are always at odds, and why this is a problem for Peterson and his devotees. 14:58-22:40 Freedom from sociality.I gloss how such a turn would undoubtedly (or at minimum plausibly) bolster many of the cherished values and primary aims held by i.e. self-avowed free speech absolutists. 22:40-25:00 Drawbacks to audios. Related to this; reasons to question the (in all likelihood) incurious minds of people who find it easy to edit for hours uninterruptedly, sometimes even for days, who are thereby ones ordinary viewers hear from the most because they upload more despite knowing less. Them knowing less isn’t necessarily a reflection of their poorer minds, but merely for being pressed on time. Compare to people who know more because they (know it is prudent to) contribute little to nothing outwardly, or whose penchant to upload and contribute outwardly is outmatched by their scattershot curiosity, who thereby grow more inwardly by choosing not to repress said curiosity, and thus not being pressed on time. 25:00-27:42 On “New Man” hype: Decoupling theoretical vs. practical components of my bio-skepticism. Bioenhancement for me is a largely, though not completely, theoretical project and discourse. There are people doing practical work surrounding it, but in small numbers and none of them are affiliated with lobbying groups (as far as I know). Hence the narrow political Overton Window has no business dictating anything to them or to me. The unpopularity of these views becomes a problem only when advocates aim to impact public policy, or arguably when they petition for public funding. Aside: I realize that AI discourse is surging rapidly right now, but that’s too infused with dry argumentation about the nature of computation, minds, and brains, all of which should (and easily can) be decoupled from the largely theoretical discourse on bio-skepticism vs. bio-conservatism. 27:42-31:08 On neglected dimensions of ideological fanaticism, immoderateness, moderateness, etc. 31:08-39:50 Natalist Gulag. 39:50-49:32 Muh Ancestry as tacit Standpoint Epistemology.Watching this back, what’s covered here may be the sneakiest, most easy-to-miss courting of standpoint theory, despite being fairly common.

Bossy Reign Is About Over No Avail 2023-02-16 | I Only Fail On My Terms.Timeline:00:00-07:27 Intro with corrections/clarifications for what’s ahead. 07:27-25:10 Student disposability is all I see now. None of the reformers are ahead of the curve enough to get students to think along the lines of pre-institutional self-regarding metrics for intellectual self-development. I’m no one’s worker bee and I resent the idea that part of why (most of why?) I was enrolled had to do with getting me to ‘produce’ later in life, and by extension consume. If we’re forced to attend school, fine, but it can’t be for other-regarding or communal aims. As a longtime taxpayer, I'll only tolerate such aims (i.e. enhance workforce and productivity) in meager amounts, considering the *public* and taxpayer-funded nature of schools that most often sin. 25:10-34:39 No one in charge of education cares about any of the people who know they’re not morning people. Gym can remedy some of this, for some, but only when it’s scheduled as the first class each day. 34:39-39:56 Tangential explosive rant on disciplinarians and adultists. 39:56-42:15 Intermission / I bless you with Steven Wilson’s magic. You’re welcome. Full track - Cut Ribbon: youtu.be/AImxNYDNkeo 42:15-50:02 Hereditarian Whiteout and Team Blue.I’m sure most of the teammates believe they’re attentive to individual variation. But perversely, their unwillingness to account for (even soft) heritability only hinders the individual students they (most of them?) sincerely (most of the time?) endeavor to help. I cited reading speed differentials as the example again, but there’s much more.(Team Blue = everyone who believes [and truly is] comparatively best served by the DNC machine and stands opposed to the RNC machine)50:02-56:30 Plugged Singer’s book on the Darwinian ‘Left’. Also broached childhood play and how badly neglected it’s been.56:30-1:15:00 I Swerved into gendered and intimate partner violence, connecting them to individual differences in LHS. It’s absurd to believe that nothing within LH is explanatory and that this is about the culture of misogyny. Fixating on nebulous root causes which aren’t even half the story won’t save lives.I’d like to break down numerous things within this chunk for a more fine-grained timeline, but I’m too exhausted now and my back hurts from typing hunched over on the couch. Just want to upload the video already. I know there’s lots here and will fine-grain this section sometime later.1:15:00-1:17:53 Left/Right as the original thing.1:17:53-1:18:58 Hereditarianism as brochure. 1:18:58-1:20:15 Valid and invalid fodder for establishing sensible narratives within gender discourse. 1:20:15 Better for men to lose the gender war playing on impartial mode than to win at the expense of their personal integrity and ideological consistency (i.e. by playing fire with fire). As always: Be the optimal thinker and arguer, not the optimal activist. Forget it.Links in a bit.
Marks And Other Fiction No Avail 2023-01-28 | Philosophical Ways Fail To Reach.Recording dates: Jan 4 / Jan 6 / Jan 12The timeline, because I'm courteous:00:00-07:20 Prelude and sampling. 07:20-13:30 Compulsory Schooling and disciplinarian obfuscation. 13:30-31:33 Graded by ignorance. 31:33-38:17 Adultist social engineering is by far the most ignored and taken-for-granted form of social engineering, and I would argue one of the most sneakily harmful. Results are always mixed, with children who clearly benefit from hyper-regimentation getting the spotlight and children whose lives are cumulatively burdened by the same getting the evaluative shaft, or otherwise shifting the blame onto parents or the individual minor. . There was more to the audio in this segment but I decided to cut it after minute 7, for time. 38:17-47:50 My views on Breaking Bad’s handling of Hank Schrader’s character and his epic non-arc. 47:50-52:38 My views on Breaking Bad’s handling of Walter “Flynn” Junior’s character, explaining my disappointment over the missed opportunities here as I see them. I don’t think any of the points I raise are ablest, but on some formulations of ableism they absolutely are. In which case: So much the worse for those elastic variants of ableism. I better not get any strikes for including mere still images from the show!!52:38-1:03:00 Don’t be straightedge, beware of associational logic. Been meaning to devote some video time to this for a while now. Seemed a good fit.1:03:00 I analyze a moral mistake by me from earlier in the video and offer tutelage for dealing with similar faults on related themes. Note: The mistake was purely expressive, thus morally tame. In the video I say “extremely bad” but that’s stretching it. It’s not nothing, but it’s not “extreme”. Insofar as speech-acts are intelligibly types of acts, they’re rightly subject to moral feedback, and even moral scrutiny. I don’t believe I deserve scrutiny on this, but I’d have deserved negative feedback had I not recorded and included the introspective follow-up at the end.
Wet Dream Decoded No Avail 2022-12-15 | Evolutionary Mind Games and You.Recording dates: December 2nd, December 9th, and November 21st.00:00-11:45 Agree or disagree: All gender politics and heretofore recognizable “ideological zones” are beneath you, if you have a head on your shoulders. There is nothing worth preserving and we’d do well to forget the history of gender discourse, and start anew. 11:45-19:18 I tackle Drag Queen Storytime! The notable thing here has nothing to do with “OK Groomer” or with combating the paranoid crazies. Pay more attention to the people (usually parents) who are intensely upset by this for reasons that stop short of all Q-anon narratives.19:18-31:46 Pedophilia and morally relevant misconduct. Rationalists nowhere to be seen. 31:46-36:44 Is it really true that most men have been “too easy”? (Emphasis on the most)36:44-40:52 Why I go easy on paranoia within the Manosphere. 40:52-48:02 Apple News is breathtakingly brazen in its propagandistic exclusion of terms designed to identify male-only issues. Two examples are mentioned. 48:02-56:48 Sociosexual plagues: Scarcity Mindset for men, Abundance Mindset for women. Naming it is step one. The earlier you expose it and teach boys about it, and why it’s there, the more of a chance you’ll give boys to react correctly when they’re sex-starved and can get sex from a misandrist, as sketched in the “Wouldn’t ___ if you paid me” scenario.56:48-1:20:10 Ye’s porn addiction & religious workarounds obstructing true understanding.I speculate that piety, spiritual solemnity, servility to god, etc... serve evolutionary purposes in providing “Darwinian Airbags” to thirsty men who (deep down) don’t like being thirsty but feel they need to signal how hetero they are as this increases odds of having sex / copulating. Building a reputation of being content with one’s own thirst is likely the best strategy for this. And men who (in the process) sincerely convince themselves that they’re at ease with their thirst become even better at signaling “no homo” to prospective mates (thus female sexual empowerment is only bad because “Jesus Said No”. Scripture to the scripture!). Similar enough observations can be made with male bonding / feels-sharing. It's never gay in god's house. 1:20:10-1:23:26 Not Chivalry.1:23:26-1:32:50 Beware all things communal when truth-seeking. Nobody listens.1:32:50-1:35:20 Tougher obstacles than censorship: Cognitive Ease over Cognitive Strain, normalization of and capitulation to audience capture, thirst for clarity (esp. moral clarity), chasers of views/exposure/clout by any means necessary.“Most decision-making is highly irrational and the experience of rationality is frequently an illusion”: https://gregglab.neuro.utah.edu/2018/10/14/the-art-of-killing-other-peoples-ideas/ 1:35:20-1:38:10 Why are the best so often ignored?

Too many people don’t know what it’s like to have their core beliefs challenged in private, non-civic settings, by otherwise non-antagonistic agents in their life. It took low-res DJT for rubes in America to learn this about each other.38:15-44:35 Solving “MGTOW vs. MSTOW” slippage. 44:35-51:13 Who needs to “work on their social skills” objectively speaking? If you necessarily exclude the popular and the influential, you’re as blind as Peterson. Just World Overdose. 51:13-1:01:03 The lived experiences of YouTuber Black Mind: youtu.be/rWVsZ9bdVpA The more rabid of an inclusivist one presents as, the more likely they are to exclude his type of lived experiences and observations from the equation, as those things complicate their simplistic (oft-unidirectional and gynocentric) axis of oppression narratives.1:01:03-1:07:41 How to: My non-melodramatic approaches to pointing out the uptick in misandry. It's not threatening, just dumb. 1:07:41-1:13:25 Simping by proxy. Don’t underestimate its reach. Beyond time to recognize that it’s worse than ordinary simping, mostly because of how much more frequent it is.1:13:25-1:26:34 Nightlife is lookist and exclusionary. Drones love to deny this (or at least downplay how wide-reaching the issue is). Whereas Incelian ideology exaggerates its overall reach and has true believers convinced that all society is lookist 24/7. The truth is more boring, but I think “Nightlife is lookist” is the best slogan for it, certainly locally here with the admissions fees. 1:26:34-1:27:27 Intermission! Sneaking in vintage Steven Wilson for your benefit. Vermillioncore: youtu.be/nHYjR3pLxOc 1:27:27-1:33:37 More on Black Mind, hybristophilia, colorism, fighting to impress women, the Black Manosphere, etc.1:33:37-1:46:38 Clarification on Gymcels: It’s more about HGH and gym rats devoting obscene amounts of time to get and maintain abs. Working on non-abs areas is probably fine when a man knows why it's done (i.e. surmounting bullies and other posturing apes hijacked by intra-sexual male competition drives). But it’s easy to self-deceive on this. It’s possible to be motivated both by defensive and non-defensive/gynocentric drives. Lifter beware.1:46:38-1:51:35 Say no to Big Chivalry. 1:51:35-1:53:20 On male-only slurs . Arbitrarily fine.1:53:20-2:00:21 Sex Ed curricula is advanced by cowards.

At two hour and forty two minutes, this is more than enough. Since I’m doing a trilogy, I’ll just upload the remaining audio (where I discuss the Will and Mind in relation to this) in part two. Part three will contain the most dangerous and censor-minefield theme. Briefly got into that here when I referenced femicide laws and groups that do vs. don’t deserve special protection status. I planned on including a link to the Black Pill somewhere. Checked various sites that are usually decent at providing summaries only to find that none are fair and balanced on this. The only site offering a proper, non-slanted overview of it is one that’s too risky to include here as it’s likely to be detected by censors. And I don’t even think the Black Pill is universalizable. Still, it’s clear that most summaries of it are way off, probably deliberately. Do your own cautious research. Edit: Close enough: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexy_son_hypothesis

I’ve not read through it. I’d wager that 99.99% of the people spouting strong views and binary takes on which side is worse overall haven’t read it either. The few people who store so much of this in their heads truly are in a better position to tally treaty violations and other legal breaches. But they know not to waste time arguing with ghouls on twitter and the like. And that’s not to say that the Violation Tally is the most important thing here. It never was, which partly explains why I’m not slavishly devoted to reading and memorizing the contents of these mountainous texts and signed commitments. They’re important, but the fact that anti-Western actors play negative sum games more frequently (and always remorselessly) is more important!Legal positivism is another problem I should’ve named and targeted in the video. Technically, legal doctrines like positivism are meant to implicate each nation’s internal legal affairs only, but that’s no reason to ignore their (unspoken) distortions of how people think about interstate conflict abroad. In my experience arguers under the grip of legal positivism don’t realize they’re influenced by it. Nothing else explains the common resort to “West ignores laws all the time” mouthed as a checkmate, or as a plea for non-instrumental blame equivalence (or worse). When you encounter this, you must explain that the speaker is implicitly sold on a very odd and, I think, indefensible view of the law’s role in human life. A legal constructivist, for example, easily dispenses with such claims. Obviously getting the normative underpinnings of law right carries massive implications on “The West vs. The Rest” and how that debate is best approached. Arguers don’t appreciate how fine-grained this pre-factual part of the debate is. This doesn’t mean legal constructivists are necessarily forward-looking in terms of how they view law’s relation to moral and other types of normative force. Constructivists may differ on all that, just as any of us can believe in Cosmic Justice (read: recognition of Just World Fallacies) and still differ on the question of Cosmic Justice being necessarily forward-looking, backward-looking, or a blend of both (i.e. telic/deontic particularism). Arguably legal formalists can use their own theories to nip positivist distortions in the bud in ways that differ from how I as a constructivist would. We might rename legal positivism “Legal Totalism”, adding some rhetorical bite to its much needed critique. A number of other non-positivistic schools can offer their own sturdy bulwarks against equivalence talk. But it’s hard to be convincing here unless people realize that competing legal frameworks exist, exert pressure on their pre-factual judgment, and can be named and debunked. Most importantly, the more reliable ones are not just applicable at home but abroad (critically now, given the world we’ve inherited). I should’ve said all of this in the video, but there was too much other ammo I had to fire. I’m broaching all this in the low-bar because I don’t want to tack on additional recordings to include yet another piece of the puzzle as that makes the video ever-longer and it’s already one hour longer than I had intended before pressing rec. Shrug.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_positivism en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructivism_(international_relations) Arguments for constructivism: journals.openedition.org/revus/5897 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_formalismI’ll run out of space if I keep adding links here, but this is less than half of everything I planned on glossing and linking. So I’ll just say: Go to Anne Applebaum’s twitter feed to see the antithesis of a “70/30” approach by someone who by all accounts should know better. Or read anything she has written elsewhere over the last few years. She’s still not a net-negative force in this debate, but she can do better in terms of proportionality, impartiality, goodwill and not assuming things about 70/30 commentators.

The makings of a dialectic dystopia.More needs to said on the issues I’m having with Amy Wax, Heather MacDonald, Glenn Loury, etc. I dropped them far too quickly here and moved on to other stuff. But it’s precisely the thing that I know ought to drive me bonkers, in that my specific counters are never articulated, and are probably never even cognized by any of the spotlighted debaters. 18:02 People have nothing to offer. Smart, educated people... nothing. 24:09 Panel as humanized algorithm.

If you don’t care about this, or if you simply don’t hate those people the way I do, I want you to let me know so we can argue it. Now more than ever, I realize that it’s no a trivial slip up to do what they do, and I’m 100% justified in letting it get to me. If you spend a fair bit of time online and it doesn’t get to you, you’re in the wrong. This is the water we’ve always had to swim in, and it’s not our doing. No one should negate or repress that anger away. Or worse yet, no one should notice the problem and carry on irritation-free. 34:19 Trump Engagement Syndrome ala the Mar-a-Lago raid, or search, or whatever your polemical jockeying needs to cast it as. (I used “raid” in the video not because I care to paint a particular picture of it. I like to speak freely and non-tactically, and “raid” was the first word that spring to mind. Had I been worried about seeming sympathetic to MAGA per rhetoric alone, I’d have inserted a corrective to "raid" in the video, not just here only. And if you think that I should’ve done that, I doubt you’re absorbing the points I’m making.)45:25 Death and consciousness, eliminative materialism, aggregation, separateness of persons, with arguable implications for procreative ethics.

Thinking Out Loud For Real No Avail 2022-07-30 | Timestamps and menu:00:00-06:51 Mostly Intro. Interrogating the seemingly trivial can lead to fresh observations and self-exploration. Call it the Triviality/Novelty pipeline. Brief overview of a few social implications this carries and how it should shape the future of this channel (and ideally all serious channels). 06:51-09:33 Beware the figurative “We” usage. If you’re not guilty of X, never describe issues with X using “We”. Even I slipped up once later in the video and used it in the way I hate seeing it used. Rant segues to thoughts on non-judgmentalism as a presentation style, or as insincere flattery. Be on the lookout for “chummy” communicative strategies. There are so many critics of Suits and Corporate Culture utilizing suit-like tactics for their own PR purposes. They keep getting away with it because the question “Why even care that someone uses “We” figuratively?!” has a down to earth vibe and just seems punchy. Perfect example of a complaint I have that is deceptively trivial.09:33-19:30 The worthlessness of nearly all conversations in the wild. Issue loops into the above gripes. 19:30-27:04 Try your hand at a more socially courageous version of you whenever (or if) you’re around the breed of person I’m stuck being around. It might build you up from within. Not long after I began blurting out unspoken thoughts and risking backlash, new unaired intuitions and dormant negative judgments began to slide into my conscious thought stream. Free up space in your mind by uttering your thoughts more often in social settings and the same might happen. Or even when no one else is around (yeah, technically talking to yourself, big deal), mouthing along may prove effective. 27:04-31:48 Prevalence of low-quality banter, casual gossip and forgetfulness vs. The Loss Of Community. I question what people commonly attribute as the main drivers of America’s mental health crisis, and speculate that too much is made of the loss of community and not enough on the need (some have) to escape community further still. People are unreliable and boring and dealing with them is often a stressor. I’ve always found stress to be among the biggest drains on mood and mental health. Social isolation, particularly in adulthood, was never a factor. Here too, I'm suspecting that a silent plurality resembling my isolation-tolerance may well exist, maybe even a silent majority. This is what “social studies” textbooks should actually teach in elementary school: individual differences leading to tolerance or intolerance of one's own mind. But no one demands this, because they’re boring, unimaginative and epistemically unreliable. Evidently, curricula crafters aren't immune. 31:48-38:50 Siblings and crowded upbringings as fail-proof firewalls against independent thought. Speculation only, personal anecdotes, unavailable data.38:50-48:30 Creative musicians and artists vs. musical entertainers.

I happen to think it's a nothing-burger, falling short of warranting line-by-line attention, but I do regard the guys at Very Bad Wizards more highly than I let on during the video, so I guess for those indirect reasons, the paper's existence is nagging at me enough to throw out this proposal and see if anyone else feels impressed or challenged by it.The VBW podcast is decent listening if you're the type of person who can look the other way when it comes to extremely disappointing views expressed by the podcaster somewhere between 20-30% of the time.

Anarcho-Obscurantism And Victimless Omelets No Avail 2021-12-24 | Dud: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/anarchism/ Inspired by: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/authority/ World Government entry by SEP, with invocations of World Federalism, containing critically useful needle-threading of the two positions:https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/world-government/Origins and history of bog-standard Federalism: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/federalism/ World Federalism on wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Federalism#Overview The movement: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Federalist_Movement In the video I mentioned that none of the IR scholars and theorists whose names I recognize are on record as being members or supporters of this movement. But it’s worse than that, because all the notable figures listed as comprising the movement’s most well-known devotees... are all deceased! Thirteen figures, all dead, and all of whom have been dead and buried for 50+ years. So not only does the movement appear to be underrepresented by influential and respected IR figures; it's also overrepresented by corpses. Unitarism in detail: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitary_state Closely related: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicameralism Extinction Rebellion: https://rebellion.global/Otherwise known as the “Movement that would benefit from gaining even an entry-level understanding of Population Ethics and the unresolved puzzles therein”.No, they’re not actually known as that. That’s just my unsubtle jab at their “X-Risks over S-Risks” proclivities and overhasty assumptions. So here I need to ensure that these subtleties are teased out and then straightened out, just in case the video left any of it unclear or ambiguous.So about S-Risks: s-risks.org I tamely resent thinkers who reach explicit long-termist "X-Risks over S-Risks" conclusions and who are aware of exactly what it is that they’ve elbowed out in doing so. But it’s always worse when the people thinking along similar enough lines don’t appear to even grasp that there is an S-Risk factor against which they ought to be balancing their X-Risk mitigation baselines, and ideally reconsidering them in favor of S-Risk mitigation. From everything I’ve observed, Extinction Rebellion types come with the latter muddled or full-fledged unthinking approach.But this is not why I brought them up during the video, as will be clear for those who heard me out. Still, it’s important to not lose sight of fact that the effects of Climate Change could easily lead to a significant spike in S-Risks, completely apart from how those same CC forces go on to shape the attendant X-Risks. So it’s ethically sensible to be somewhat concerned with CC, as was during the December portion of this video. CC is a worthy concern, even though the loudest cheerleaders who demand sweeping action against CC are largely the conceptually muddled types observed in movements like Extinction Rebellion.Overview of why S-Risk mitigation is more important than any other long-termism project: longtermrisk.org/s-risks-talk-eag-boston-2017

It's almost as if he doesn't mind mental illnesses *when* they're a manifestation of the natural order, because then the sufferer is presented with the opportunity to heroically overcome their negative effects. Just as he doesn't embrace living dangerously when the danger is posed by a prospective despot who can be prevented from acquiring power in the first place, thus leaving the freedom-loving population deprived of the glorious adventure of toppling the despot, and surely rejoicing in what would've been the difficult and risky task.

Realistically though, a more impersonal summary sees the harshest drawbacks stemming from what takes place within the shift itself. So as much as I want to complain on a personal level, in more detail, I know that pointing to the available research is the way to go. I’m nowhere near as unlucky as the profiled subjects and general trends reported in the above article.Related: fastcompany.com/90230330/how-our-obsession-with-productivity-evolvedThis productivity-is-everything mindset is arguably unjustified as it leads to masochism and aimless bean-counting.

Few things in this world make the cut when it comes to that; but they’re just that good at being exemplars of poignancy and non-dramatic tragedy.)Guess I should have tried to track down similar enough letters by actual inmates. Maybe compiling and presenting them would’ve furthered the case I was building. Only now that I’m uploading the file and composing this low-bar did it dawn on me that I should’ve tried to find and include all of that in the video prior to rendering it. Oh well.As always, if I missed any mentioned works, I'll update this space the first chance I get.
Comparative Privilege And Evaluative Boldness No Avail 2021-03-18 | Responding to: youtu.be/FZjr9sYVLkYCritical Disability Theory: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/disability-critical/My disdainful reaction: youtube.com/post/UgwsOToMZjRqF1JkaPp4AaABCQMy “Privilege Overview” comment in full: youtube.com/post/Ugz-BZJTQbWFNf55AQx4AaABCQPaper alleging serious interplay between Privilege and Good Health outcomes: bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-019-7884-9Linked here because it perfectly illuminates why Murray jumps the gun when it comes to the types of objections he casually lobs at privilege-spouting zombies. Some of them are less zombie-ish than others. This is important.From the abstract: "The goal of this article is to advance understanding and action on health inequities and the social determinants of health by introducing a framework for transformative change: the Coin Model of Privilege and Critical Allyship. First, I introduce the model, which explains how social structures produce both unearned advantage and disadvantage. The model embraces an intersectional approach to understand how systems of inequality, such as sexism, racism and ableism, interact with each other to produce complex patterns of privilege and oppression. Second, I describe principles for practicing critical allyship to guide the actions of people in positions of privilege for resisting the unjust structures that produce health inequities. The article is a call to action for all working in health to (1) recognize their positions of privilege, and (2) use this understanding to reorient their approach from saving unfortunate people to working in solidarity and collective action on systems of inequality."Murray invoked health/unhealth, but the author here shows that she is far from unmindful of these things. Her concerns are genuine, and remain so even if she is ultimately wrong about poor health outcomes being (non-trivially) bolstered by, or linked to, the usual Axes Of Oppression set-in-stone narratives. These probable falsehoods are, if nothing else, superior to pure obliviousness.Also referenced:Michael Sandel's Tyranny Of Merit: amazon.ca/Tyranny-Merit-Whats-Become-Common-ebook/dp/B084M1W9WBDaniel Markovits' Meritocracy Trap: amazon.ca/Meritocracy-Trap-Foundational-Inequality-Dismantles/dp/0735221995My reaction: youtube.com/post/UgzIthqUetgZq86WEUZ4AaABCQI'll add whatever else I may need to add, a bit later, when I remember what it might be.

Messianic Populism Intensifies No Avail 2020-09-24 | A response to the #Unity2020 FAQ: articlesofunity.org/faqAnd to this: youtu.be/b4H-0S89pxU Dan Crenshaw’s wobbly commitment to truth-telling: washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/04/20/dan-crenshaw-trump-coronavirus-defenseCentralist governments have lower rates of corruption: jstor.org/stable/4092365 About this: What's your reaction? Gasp? Or closer to meh? Ultimately I’m going with meh. But if Corruption is at the root of so many macro-level problems, as Bret maintains, then I’m wrong to react this way. We mustn’t say 'meh' to any of it and, consequently, we may entertain a shift to unitarism in an effort to clamp down on all the damn corruption. But it’s not worth the squeeze, for the simple reason that Corruption isn’t as massive a problem as the rhetorical populist imagines (or tells you to).Getting a handle on non-zero-sum compromise at the policy level would go a whole lot further than dwelling on corruption.

It examined, for that period “15 of the 18 most affluent OECD-member democracies with populations of at least three million”. The remaining nations (Austria, Japan, and New Zealand) were “not included due to lack of adequate poverty data”. More importantly, this is the only cross-national study that employs an absolute measure of poverty to gauge the pros/cons of welfare programs and other anti-poverty policies. Other cross-national studies employ relative measures of poverty (and run into predictable methodological duds as a result, as the authors explain).The 2nd study also assesses poverty rates across nations: http://www2.hawaii.edu/~noy/300texts/poverty-comparative.pdf“Once again, American transfer programs do least of the nations in this comparison group to help low-income families with children. A substantial fraction of the variance in non-elderly cross-national poverty rates appears to be accounted for not by the variation in work, but by the cross-national variation in the incidence of low pay, as shown in Figure 2. Because the United States has the highest proportion of workers in relatively poorly paid jobs, it also has the highest poverty rate, even among parents who work half-time or more. On the other hand, other countries that have a significantly lower incidence of low-paid employment also have significantly lower poverty rates than the United States.”Wiki’s (easy-to-digest) cross-national comparisons speak to the above findings: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welfare_state#Effects_of_welfare_on_povertyIncludes absolute as well as relative/positional poverty figures pre and post welfare. If Molyneux and fans of statelessness wish to abolish all such programs, being charmingly oratorical about the ‘failures’ won’t convince anyone who’s even faintly aware of the above. Opponents must demonstrate with *better* data why the trends are negative rather than positive. But they’re not even trying, because it’s not about the data. Opponents of anti-poverty programs decided what they like and dislike long ago.Semi-related: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_social_welfare_spendingAnd: epi.org/publication/ib339-us-poverty-higher-safety-net-weakerFinally: Censorship not only wrongs the censored but is also, at times, counterproductive to the aims of the censor-happy doofus: rationalwiki.org/wiki/Streisand_effect
