Atavism is the tendency to revert to ancestral type. In biology, an atavism is an evolutionary throwback, such as traits reappearing which had disappeared generations before. Atavisms can occur in several ways. One way is when genes for previously existing … Continue reading →

Previously, the brainpower model of IQ. In order to explain my two-factor model, I have to make an analogy to power consumption and capacity in a complex factory. But in order to make this analogy, I’ll have to introduce a … Continue reading →

Conjecture: Stories are long-form descriptions of human emotional state reactions, analogous to chemical reactions. Example: Chick flicks.

Collected advice from Charles Murray, Vox Day, and myself. My advice is to start with the New Testament if you’re genuinely interested. It’s more important than the Old Testament and significantly shorter, so the payoff in understanding is immediate and … Continue reading →

Brainpower is analogous to horsepower, which is a measure of work done over time. I claim that intelligence has two primary subfactors, comparable to: Current and Voltage in electronics Flow and Pressure in pneumatics and hydraulics Clock Rate and Instructions … Continue reading →

Previously, superego is worldview. I had a realization a couple of days ago that a mental “flow” state is a shortcut in the OODA loop, where Observe->Orient->Decide->Act is reduced to Observe->Act. One of the things people report about this state … Continue reading →

Here’s cuckservatism in a nutshell. Sure, it’s retarded to charge a machine gun and lose the war. But did you hear that triumphant music? It’s like a beautiful surrender, except cuckier. I hear they cut the scene where the imperial … Continue reading →
