Part 1/3 I used to get bummed in math class when learning theorems: "All the low-hanging fruit has been solved before I was born! If I was alive at the time of Pythagoras I could've easily derived the Pythagorean theorem and etched my place in history!"
@PepMangione - Luigi Mangione
Part 2/3 But now I feel lucky for my 21st century education. I get to simply download the knowledge of all who came before me, allowing me to stand on their shoulders and ponder new problems they never would've had access to.
@PepMangione - Luigi Mangione
Part 3/3 If 5th century BC Pythagoras discovered algebraic theorems, If 19th century Darwin discovered the evolution of species, Then what topics does the 21st century mind explore? I'd say evolutionary psychology, primitive neuroscience, and information networks

77% of US 17-24 year olds could not join the military. The American Department of Defense recently did an analysis of 17-24 year olds and found that 77 percent were unqualified to serve in the military. Due mostly to obesity, drug abuse, physical health, or mental health. Almost half were disqualified for more than one of those reasons. So that seems concerning, for multiple reasons. But looking into it, maybe it’s not as bad as it seems? 35% were disqualified for being overweight. But the limit for the army (for men) is 20% body fat which is reasonably strict. 24% were disqualified for “drug abuse”. But that—in theory—includes anyone who has ever used marijuana. — h/t Dynomight
@PepMangione - Luigi Mangione
@ChrisWillx "Drug abuse" isn't fair criteria imo. The most intelligent, open-minded individuals I know all manipulate and push the buttons of their pysche via *specific* drugs. "Drug abuse" should distinguish psilocybin, marijuana from addictive soul-suckers like meth, fentanyl, etc
@PepMangione - Luigi Mangione
@ChrisWillx That 23% eligibility is initially scary, but remember we do want a population of diverse thinkers, not a factory-line of identical soldier drones. What remains concerning is that such a massive % of men fail physical standards, which in no context is advantageous to the group

Only about half of social psychologists believe that Darwinian evolution applies to the human mind. https://t.co/Q6xfLIOzvo
@PepMangione - Luigi Mangione
@datepsych Nuts that last graph doesn't match the first. People have a hard time grasping that the mind evolves like the body
@PepMangione - Luigi Mangione
@datepsych Rereading your tweet and noticed this poll asked *social psychologists*. I thought these were figures for the general population. Crazier than I thought
@PsyPost - PsyPost.org
A study published in the Journal of Personality found weak links between landscape types and personality traits in residents, showing slightly different traits in urban, coastal, and cultivated areas. dlvr.it/T1qFtY
@PepMangione - Luigi Mangione
@PsyPost @datepsych these differences seem intuitive. I wonder to what extent they are a product of nurture (the landscape an individual is born into affecting their personality) vs nature (mobility allows individuals to choose their preferred environments - schelling's model segregation)

Question: "For some read despite following you and interacting with your posts they never come up on my feed I have to almost manually search your name and check. Do you think twitter is shadow banning you?" My Answer: I consider it likely - it's the standard modus operandi for social media. What's been happening to me here could be explained by a content-dependent form of throttling in which only a random selection of my followers would be notified that I've posted. Thanks for the heads-up. Comment (in response to the above Q&A): "It’s happening extensively. Under [redacted] influence, @elonmusk limits “freedom of reach,” meaning many of us are still shadow banned. Posting here has become largely a waste of time and effort." My Response: You may well have a point. What the techie billionaires of social media apparently fail to understand is that insofar as speech exists for the purpose of communication, which "reaches" from sender to receiver, speech and reach are inseparable. Commercial advertisers customarily pay for any service that extends their "reach". That's fine. However, most social media users are not commercial advertisers, but people who were lured here with the promise of "socializing" with the free exchange of ideas and opinions (that's why these platforms are called "social media"). They didn't join for the purpose of commercial advertising, but contributed their own value for free. With them came the implicit value of their participation (along with their personal data and premium user fees), which - along with legitimate ad revenue attracted on that basis - accounts for the economic success of the platform. Social media platforms rely on the network effect to acquire users by presenting themselves as free and open comm networks that let users socialize with the rest of the population at large, no major strings attached. Now they routinely apply certain aspects of an inappropriate commercial business model to the vast majority of their users after the fact, without their permission or a fair return on their implicit value. Because the social media are not making money but losing it in the process, we may infer that nefarious government types and/or globalist mind-control parasites are in charge of the censorship. For obvious reasons, that's not spelled out in the terms of use. No matter how you slice it, this goes beyond the pale. It resembles a kind of fraud, an Orwellian bait-and-switch that damages the public interest, our democratic political system, and the freedom of humanity to choose its own destiny without mind-control parasitism designed to reshape the information landscape to the advantage of power-hungry globalists and their political prostitutes. The damage it has already done is incalculable. The way I was raised, you either play fair, or you don't play. Perhaps that's why I'm not a techie billionaire. (Too bad for me, right?) But I didn't sign up to be throttled by techie billionaires or their spook handlers either, especially when all I do is tell high-level truth better than any spook or billionaire could manage. It's quite a disappointment. I'd have expected better out of Elon. Whether or not we see it depends at least partially on Elon. May he find the way.
@PepMangione - Luigi Mangione
Does he really think twitter is going out of their way to "shadow ban" him? The much simpler, and obvious explanation is that no one wants to hear him complain ad infinitum into the void.. Schizo ramblings produce nothing of value. As if Twitter devotes time and resources to moderating him lol. This is what happens when a brain is so hyperconnected it overcomplicates reality drawing connections that don't exist

@PepMangione - Luigi Mangione
@datepsych Part 4/7 My argument usually adds an extra lemma this poll is missing. Roughly, this poll should have a question 2.5) “does darwinian evolution apply to animal behavior?” Then, if someone agrees with (1), (2), and (2.5), it’s harder for them to reject (3)
@datepsych - Alexander
I think some people think there is a “blank slate” school of psychology. This basically doesn’t exist in 2024. A lot of people believe it, but within psychology there is overwhelming consensus that genetics contribute to behavior and human psychology. The gene x environment interaction is considered an axiom of personality psychology. That human evolution has shaped human psychology and behavior is also not merely a belief within the subdiscipline of evolutionary psychology. It’s simply a recognized fact by anyone who accepts that evolution is real. Human beings are animals and subject to the same evolutionary process as any other animal, which includes selection for behavioral traits, emotions, mental processes, and more. This is a fact of evolution and not a belief relegated to a niche or specific subdomain within psychology. Why do people form beliefs like this or adopt what is essentially fringe pseudoscience in the field? Probably political ideology.
@PepMangione - Luigi Mangione
@datepsych @datepsych "overwhelming consensus" in psychology? Seems contrary to your tweet from ~1 year ago: "Only about half of social psychologists believe that Darwinian evolution applies to the human mind." x.com/datepsych/stat… Has consensus shifted rapidly or am I missing smth?

@PepMangione - Luigi Mangione
@datepsych Part 1/ When someone denies that human psych is evolved, I start with the initial logical statement “evolution is real” and then try to build up to “the human mind is evolved” through a series of lemmas (stepping stones)
@PepMangione - Luigi Mangione
@datepsych Part 7/7 Then, I recall a worldwide study on human dreams, tracking the most common nightmare in each country. “Snakes” and “spiders” are overwhelming at the top of the list. Seems to follow that human aversion to snakes is similarly ingrained
@PepMangione - Luigi Mangione

@johnnyxbrown Just saw that you are a Legion athlete. Makes sense! I was thinking this thread was a great compilation of the best ideas from Bigger Leaner Stronger, Huberman Lab, and direct learned experience
@PepMangione - Luigi Mangione
@datepsych Part 2/7 Understanding where in the chain of lemmas the person disagrees with me sheds light into why they reject evolutionary psychology
@PepMangione - Luigi Mangione
@datepsych Part 6/7 Basically, their behavior to avoid snakes is hardwired. I can’t remember where I heard the study, or if I’m recalling it exactly, think I heard it in an old uni lecture
@PepMangione - Luigi Mangione
@datepsych Part 3/7 This poll is similar, it asks "do you believe…” and finds: 1) animals AND humans evolved via darwinian evolution? ✅ 2) humans evolved by darwinian evolution? ✅ 3) human behavior evolved? 🤷♂️
@PepMangione - Luigi Mangione
@datepsych Part 5/7 If someone disagrees with (2.5), I bring up an animal study in which newborn birds raised in isolation in a lab flip out when introduced to a black/red stick (characteristic of predatory snake in their natural environment) but not other colors/shapes.
@oldbooksguy - Jash Dholani
1/ A Dune prequel tells us that in the future Humans let "efficient machines" execute almost all "everyday tasks" Machines meant to save labor and time start eroding our humanity: "Gradually, humans ceased to think, or dream...or truly live" The danger of outsourcing life... https://t.co/CkrnyFPxGP
@oldbooksguy - Jash Dholani
2/ Samuel Butler who obsessed with a question: "What sort of creature" will follow us as the ruler of Earth? Life went from minerals to plants to animals - who says we're the ultimate culmination of this process? No rational basis to saying “animal life is the end of all things” https://t.co/Yzmpe0zOOU
@oldbooksguy - Jash Dholani
3/ In 1863, Butler saw machines surpassing us in productivity: "The machine is brisk and active, when the man is weary It is clear-headed and collected, when the man is stupid and dull It needs no slumber, when man must sleep or drop; ever at its post, ever ready for work" https://t.co/bbkRCiF5nb
@oldbooksguy - Jash Dholani
4/ Butler saw that our daily lives would get fused with machines He saw the metaverse coming: "How many men at this hour are living in a state of bondage to the machines?" Today we need everything artificially modified: from the air in our rooms to the images entering our eyes https://t.co/AS20tw3m9S
@oldbooksguy - Jash Dholani
5/ Perhaps machines can't be supreme over humans as they can't adapt on the fly? But even animals aren't infinitely adaptable: "For how many emergencies is an oyster adapted? For as many as are likely to happen to it, and no more. So are the machines; and so is man himself" https://t.co/6agjxxEknZ
@oldbooksguy - Jash Dholani
6/ Withdrawing tech of the last 200 years wont just take us back to 1823. An unprecedent war will break out over EVERYTHING: • Energy • Food • Water • Space The world will be much worse than it was in 1823 because of all the technological crutches we need to survive today
@oldbooksguy - Jash Dholani
8/ Some argue machines can't ever be conscious but perhaps the psyche itself is mechanistic at the lowest level? Butler wonders if the experiences that we feel to be "purely spiritual" are just the end results of an "infinite series of levers" which are tiny & beyond detection https://t.co/1sW2PGepYK
@oldbooksguy - Jash Dholani
9/ As the real world slips from our hands We find solace in fake worlds, from video games to theme parks When humans win the Butlerian Jihad in Dune They make a strict commandment: "Thou shalt not disfigure the soul" This is what's at stake: the destiny of our soul https://t.co/DjsiSITFfK

@minordissent Maybe because there is overlap in these problems? (fixing society vs fixing the self) E.g.: observing how smartphones negatively impact on a societal level helps me understand how mine impacts me on a personal level + how I can fix my own use

@G_S_Bhogal - Gurwinder
3. Fredkin's Paradox: The more similar two choices seem, the less the decision should matter, yet the harder it is to choose between them. As a result, we often spend the most time on the decisions that matter least. Less time making decisions = more time making decisions work.
@G_S_Bhogal - Gurwinder
4. Package-Deal Ethics: Being pro-choice and pro-gun-control don't logically follow from each other, yet those who believe one usually also believe the other. This is because most people don’t choose beliefs individually but subscribe to “packages” of beliefs offered by a tribe. https://t.co/FRhUOoewCu
@G_S_Bhogal - Gurwinder
5. Naxalt Fallacy: Smart people tend to use qualifiers like “generally” and “most”, and dumb people tend to ignore them. “Most people who are pro-choice are also pro-gun-control.” “Wrong! I’m not!” “Men are generally taller than women.” “False! My wife is 7 feet tall!” https://t.co/FA3eawstB0

Emergence is the phenomenon of things combining together into something that's more than the sum of its parts. A single human is really just one layer within a big tower of emergence.

Don’t say “stochastic” if you can just say “random.” Don’t say “Bayesian prior” if you can just say “assumption.” Using fancy words doesn't make you more convincing; it only draws attention away from what you’re saying to the way you’re saying it, making you *less* convincing.

@minordissent - Max
The system is not “designed”, it is emergent. It is an organism seeking, like all organisms, to expand itself across space and forward through time. And thus is a product of natural selection. The functions that increase its fitness proliferate; the ones that don’t, don’t. The state, like all memes, has a symbiotic relationship with its host. It assists the host in certain ways and costs it in other ways. When the meme is new and the host is in power, the meme is weak and it must cost little and benefit a lot. But as it makes the host more powerful, the host’s dependence on it increases. This increases the meme’s leverage in the “negotiation”, allowing it to extract without being “punished”. In general, when the meme provides more net benefit than cost, it expands and grows. When it’s equal, it stalls. And when it is a net cost, it shrinks. But due to scale of the system, the time it takes for effects to move all the way through it can be years or even decades. This is made further complex by the fact that meme (or memeplexes ie related memes cooperating to form a larger meme) themselves compete. If there are no systems with better cost benefits, the system will continue to expand even when it is a net negative (because the hosts BATNA is garbage) This is why a 2% tax was overthrow-the-government worthy 300 years ago while today 50% tax is tolerated. So how do you replace a bad meme? Not by killing it when you are still dependent on it. Thats how you get everyone killed (a la communism). It was not an accident or coincidence that slavery was ubiquitous until the 1800s. Notably, still 200 years after the Enlightenment ethos of “all men are created equal”. For the new meme of “slavery bad” to proliferate, the industrial revolution needed to occur, to allow Slavery to be abolished without completely collapsing civilization in the process. The same thing is true of the state or the modern monetary system. Until there is an alternative that meets the needs of the original meme and which has low switching cost, nothing will change.

@minordissent https://t.co/bRpUE5YQtz
@minordissent - Max
This is true but it doesn't contradict my point. The degree to which post modern art/architecture is designed to kill your spirit is a product of projection and “misery loves company” of its creator. They themselves have already had their spirit killed. They are mostly trying to express this. There is of course a little bit of them trying to force this awareness on you out of resentment. But the “intent” here is unconscious and a minor factor. The more important factor here is that all the creatives today have dead spirits in the first place. Nothing they produce is beautiful anymore. Because the death of God killed their spirit. If there is only the brutal material world, if there is no transcendent, if the base nature of reality is not driven by love, then there is no beauty there is no meaning. Sure you can manufacture a simulacrum of it, as Dawkins et al try to do, but they mostly fail and the degree to which they succeed is actually just tapping into our religious wiring. A beautiful lie to fulfill our need for beautiful lies. Thus, post modern brutalism is just the logical conclusion of the spiritual zeitgeist. If transcendent beauty is fake and gay and value is determined by capital efficiency. Then the most capitol efficient buildings ARE beauty. They ARE calling to and manifesting the higher order of the values that underly our society. Sure, normies are downstream from this stuff. but the great thing about normies is that they have evolved to have no need for connection to reality as it is. They are like cockroaches, able to survive and thrive with any type of metaphysics. The e-right likes to imagine that the normie is less happy with his pornhub and vidya and sodapop than were he a warrior and a poet and a hero. But this is all projection. It is only the sensitive autistic retard who is phased by the ugly metaphysics (and its consequences) of the modern world. The most ironic thing here is that the normie does not care that the beautiful lies are lies. He was entirely happy with Christianity. It is us autistic retards, and our insatiable pursuit of accuracy and logic consistency, that we killed God and created the brutal post modern hellscape we so deeply despise.
@PepMangione - Luigi Mangione
I should have added some context with that clip. I wasn't trying to contradict you, but rather bolster your point. Tucker is spot-on in recognizing that modern architecture kills the spirit, but his very first line "post-modern architecture is designed to demoralize and hurt you", paints the phenomenon as intentional. In the same way that inflation is not "intelligently designed" to oppress people, neither is modern architecture. It's emergent. Yes it is oppressive, but that's a fallout of selective pressures to build fast/cheap irrespective of aesthetics. My point here is that even when people have brilliant insights, they often blatantly get the causation wrong. Modern equivalent of "this drought / famine was caused by the rain gods", because causation gives people comfort. Because the idea that phenomenon are the results of amorphous systems outside of our control is scary

@minordissent - Max
Why is the number of people who are considering the possibility that religion is a product of fitness-enhancing memetic selection so miniscule? Like there’s literally millions of Darwinist atheists in the world and yet there seems to be less than 1000 who have ever even asked the most basic question of: “if religion is so bad and evil and dumb and wrong, why hasnt atheism outcompeted it ever in all of human history for more than a few decades at a time?”

@ChrisSn84413920 @JoshRainerGold Seasonal winters. Eskimos live in constant cold and don't have to save up food for the winter.
@ChrisSn84413920 - Chris Snyder
Absolutely, Eskimos, or more appropriately referred to as the Inuit, reside in the Arctic regions from Alaska to Siberia, and they certainly experience a seasonal environment. The Arctic's climate is characterized by long, cold winters and short, cool summers. The Inuit people have adapted to this environment over thousands of years, developing a rich culture and lifestyle that is closely tied to the seasonal changes in their environment. Their traditional activities, such as hunting, fishing, and gathering, are often dictated by the seasons, with different resources becoming available at different times of the year. So, in short, the answer is a resounding yes, with a side of ice and a dash of snow.

"Much of the Western public will resist, though it is amazing what they routinely eat today. The first-movers are likely to be in the Gulf and city states with no pasture. They will be in China where water is running out and ever-rising food imports are a strategic liability." "Vested interests are starting to resist furiously but they are not fools. Cargill, Tyson, Nestle, and Brazil’s JBS are all investing in cell-ag as a hedge. “They can see the writing on the wall.”" "Lab-farming should help us meet surging world food demand as another two billion people move up the protein ladder. Ultimately it will eat into Big Ag’s $5 trillion market. We can then restore degraded lands and start reclaiming our forests. And yes, it is going to make another wave of tech investors filthy rich." --- $ANIC mkt cap of $110M as of 5/15/24 will 5x within 5 years. Unreal opportunity for retail investors.

Modern Japanese urban environment is an evolutionary mismatch for the human animal. The solution to falling birthdates isn’t immigration. It’s cultural. Encourage natural human interaction, sex, physical fitness and spirituality: * ban Tenga fleshlights and “Japan Real Hole” custom pornstar pocket pussies being sold in Don Quixote grocery stores * replace conveyor belt sushi and restaurant vending machine ordering, with actual human interaction with a waiter * replace 24/7 eSports cafes where young males earn false fitness signals via Tekken fighting and Overwatch shooting games, with athletics in school * heavily stigmatize maid cafes where lonely salarymen pay young girls to dress as anime characters and perform anime dances for them * revitalize traditional Japanese culture (Shintoism, Okinawan karate, onsen, etc)

Immigration won’t solve anything, it’s maybe a short term solution at best. Japan will be fine as long as it stays Japanese. https://t.co/lKtkHvjl1u
