Steve Sailer writes about this in how crime was punished in britain in the middle ages, leading to a more pacified population over time.
Anyway seems to me like its kind of self defeating to domesticate a people by giving nerds affirmative action sex. I mean, so eventually you get a bunch of nerds but can they fight effectively as a group against outsiders? Like you said, civilization is human domestication, and maybe too much domestication leaves a people vulnerable? Maybe its better to balance chaos with order, instead of trying to undue chaos entirely? My personal experience in the US imperial wars show that your best soldiers are usually not your best citizens.
I pretty much agree with you. History shows us that the best civs have the right balance of high testosterone barbarian fire combined with civilized discipline and cooperation. A sexonomist would want to find where the right balance lies and how to maintain it.
Arranged marriage is pretty much sexual affirmative action for nerds who’d end up involuntary celibates without it. I figure the brain space used for courtship gets freed up for other purposes as selective pressure gets relaxed and/or aspie mutations that make someone a good specialist make guys awkward with the ladies.
In the US Scots-Irish and other Celts are overrepresented in the military. They’re the descendants of the frontiersmen who went in to kick out Indians with their long rifles and started distilling whiskey. Celtic fringe peoples of North Europe are still relatively closer to barbarism and tribalism. Like other peoples in history half-way through the civilizing process very creative and dynamic far beyond their small numbers. It’s a heritage I identify with myself.
Very nice. Spencer says the Scots-Irish are the wild men of the White race, which I kind of agree with. Thats a proud heritage you got and you should be proud of it. Myself, I am a Slav. I wonder how we would be described?
I always had better understanding with Slavs and Italians than most core Anglo-Saxons, North Germans, and Scandinavians. I used to wonder why I never felt at home in typical “White” society. I eventually learned about the ethnic divides between European peoples: The clannish and pastoral peoples of Europe clash with the more outbred and settled groups. Even Arabs are easier for me to empathize with sometimes than core whites who just want to compete to impress strangers and never back each other up.
You’ve just got to keep the ‘fire’ and the ‘ice’ separated. That’s why caste systems have worked so well, and then separate laws for the military in more developed civilizations.
A very good summation of a very complicated subject. At this time I see no way to rectify the situation. Everything will have to collapse first so the Women are scared enough to shut up and do what needs to be done. Right now they don’t want to be told anything.
Are you familiar with a poster goes by the name of “Heaviside”?
No, who is he?
‘Once women no longer need to restrict their mating choice for fear of starvation and men can be reasonably sure his offspring will survive and breed without his help, the incentives re-align to those of a pre-civilized state. What follows is what we like to call “decadence” in the history books or in our own time “the sexual revolution.”’
Connecting Spengler to PUA. Interesting perspective!
“The genius we associate with China, India, and the Middle East mostly comes from ancient times when their civilizations were still young. Northern Europeans have been yet another young civilization to make brilliant advances but it now seems they may be nearing the point of stagnation reached by other civilized peoples.”
Is there some other field where a similar cycle of futility was once observed, yet someone came up with a new pattern that allowed the previous finite state machine to become infinite?
Ie is there some method that could be implemented to make civilization antifragile?
Indian Brahmins were always among the best commenters on my old introvert blog and I feel a certain empathy with Advocatus Diaboli despite his slide into jaded cynicism. I feel high caste Indians may have come closest to fighting the brutal cycle.
The Chinese came tantalizingly close to an industrial revolution during the Ming and early Qing, but they were already too orderly and incurious about the rest of the world to burst forth and set up colonies.
I think a new mode of organization is required to thrive in the modern age and that is where I diverge from neo-reactionaries who want to “restore the Stuarts.”
As I see it, the Stuarts failed for a reason, into the trash(rubbish) bin they go.
I think it’s very likely the Spartans and Romans fell for the same reason the West is. The disincentive for Women to act in a manner conducive to civilization. As most Women can have children anyways, civilization or not, they really have no strong interest in the matter. In Sparta they ran out of troops. I think Women had full rights and could inherit property. Maybe they just decided having children was too much of a bother.
If you really wanted to tip the balance you could declare all Women’s eggs the property of the State. I know mice have been spliced with Women’s breast milk genes…maybe splice human wombs into cows and Men could just have their own children. Could you make Women earn the right to breed just as Men have to now? What would be the criteria? Be VERY tough to make this happen. Too many Women’s votes and they just don’t seem to care. Yes I know many do but the average is not good for civilization.
When you talked about China almost entering a Industrial Revolution were you talking about William H McNeill’s book,”The pursuit of power: Technology, armed force, and society since A.D. “? I think I read about a Chinese merchant that was making so much iron/steel it took well into the I.R. in England before they equaled his volume. Of course he had too much power and was crushed. McNeill was such a great writer. I love BIG HISTORY books like he wrote. Big ideas. Smart guy.
To the point of making civilization ‘anti-fragile’, unfortunately the best we have is a system of patriarchy where the sexual freedom of women is determined by male guardians through accentuated sexual dimorphism. Societies can last like this for millennia if they can also maintain a fairly poor majority. The Middle-East and India provide the best examples in the modern world, although India is changing rapidly. This is what Giovanni meant when he said, “We can see that one of the key pressures that decides the direction of a society is selection through arranged marriages. Where men must accumulate wealth and prestige in order to breed, they are selected to achieve and explore.”
If you want social justice and civilization growth, I think you would have to start altering human nature artificially to mimic the state of growth, but without the tyranny. Of course, this is not something that people very interested in social justice are likely to want.
Thanks Giovanni for the excellent reading of sexual economics.
Yes, material technology has outstripped the capabilities of the technologies of social organization, which have remained mostly static as pyramidal tyrannies since the first cities.
Humans may just keep hitting the same hard cieling of growth until better methods are engineered, and humans themselves become transhumans better engineered for constructive mass social life.
Are you Penman, author of Biohistory by any chance? If so, I’ve taken note of the thesis that societies considered primitive such as the Middle East are in fact the most advanced since nature doesn’t select for “human rights” or comfort for individuals, but what spreads and competes best.
No, I was part of the research team and junior editors on the books. Now I’m working on the youtube videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4-Od8cq5Gk), etc.
The Middle East is incredibly misunderstood by the Western world. We’re like tourists in jeeps looking out at a tiger and thinking thinking it’s a cute, albeit wild, tabby. Every once in a while some idiot opens a window and discovers the reality of the situation.
Biohistory, the videos make sense but you need to stop doing that flash tweening animation on classical artwork of historical events/people. It is unsettling.
The alt right likes to shit on libertarians these days but it seems high-C. Growing wealth on the individual and family level and interacting with outsiders on a impartial basis matches what is seen in the video.
