This is the theory as I understand it. Most of the entries are guesses. Figure he’ll tell me where it’s wrong :-P.

Taking this a bit further, I suggest that Glenn’s idea of value stratification is related to an proportional overabundance of brain matter in the more abstract regions. They would have “leapfrogging loyalties” and neglect the smaller group in favor of the larger group.
“Modern liberals’ defining trait is making a public spectacle of how their loyalties leapfrog over some unworthy folks relatively close to them in favor of other people they barely know.”

The Self-Righteous Hive Mind
Given the choice between political policies that will help/harm their tribe and their clan, they will either choose to help the greater tribe at the expense of their own clan or be paralyzed by abstract perfectionism (a common behavior that arises from this trait is “letting the perfect be the enemy of the good”) and therefore ineffective in using their political influence.

You’re translating it into a lower abstraction level.
It’s a rough draft. Your grand theories take time.
Increasing the resolution of a compressed picture requires a great deal of educated guessing.
Actually, I envisioned it as you fitting Mario bricks onto a smooth curve.
Over time, your bricks will multiply, become finer, and give the curve real existence.
The first try has some random blocks that are poorly placed or wrong, some blocks that are too big and slightly off, and some that are spot on and begin to give the curve substance.
Eventually there will be a bridge people can walk on.
There ya go, I’m a vectorized graphic generator.
Get to work Koanic you lazy neanderthal pig hybrid!
Hamadryas motivation.
Takes longer when I have to build the entire technical backend myself.
Ya, the rest of us are pretty useless.
The jungle and the jackhammer have complimentary roles in the demolition of melon civ.
Right, it’s not so much that civilization is degenerate per se, as that it enables all manner of perversions.
>Right, it’s not so much that civilization is degenerate per se, as that it enables all manner of perversions.
That could be a mathematical equation.
Too big to fail – Melon warcry.
Too small to fail – Thal warcry
Winter is coming – Thal gloomsaying
Global warming will flood NYC/Atlantis – Melon gloomsaying
I’m probably overmatching here, but I wonder how much of this subspecies-specific gloomsaying is due to selection and genetic memory.
haha nice

Haven’t seen it.

Talk to Kensuimo. As a fauxippital, your analysis doesn’t quite work. I believe Ken referred to me as “universalist”. He can clarify. Although… what is good for me is if every living being is organized according to a coherent ideology that puts everyone in a good mood, like making a tiger purr. There is a balance in the force; the more selfish you are, the more selfless you have to be to survive.

Bit of a late followup here, but for posterity: Mycroft has considerable prefrontal and frontal in conjunction with his fauxcippital. This helps explain the universalism. As an aside Marc Andreessen has a similar setup, although he seems to have most of his considerable vault height as prefrontal: http://startuptalks.tv/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Screenshot-2014-10-26-19.39.00-720×463.png
