I’m reading testosterone rex and it is making me think about EVOLUTIONARY PSYCHOLOGY

I have not read much of any real evopsych so I don’t know how much it does, but I feel like to be good evolutionary psychology needs to engage with the following things:

(1) Humans are an intensely cultural species. One of the things we have evolved is the ability to adopt different social and sexual practices based on what culture we’re part of: this is, for instance, part of why our childhoods are so long. We see an astonishing amount of sexual diversity in different cultures. Probably some amount of it is Adaptive and some amount of it is Using Evolved Drives For Purposes That Would Make Evolution Tear Its Hair Out.  

(2) Humans are very K-selected! Probably the MOST K-selected species! Fine does a good job of showing that human males do not behave in the way we’d expect males to behave in a more r-selected species but why would anyone think humans are r-selected in the first place. but like human babies require the efforts of like three adults to be raised to adulthood and if your theory of human sexual selection leaves aside where the investment to raise the child is going to come from it is a Bad Theory imo. this is why I like the “human women live past menopause to help provide care to their grandchildren” hypothesis

(3) Concealed????? ovulation????????

I’m watching the currents, and in places where they shouldn’t, with people that should love Liberalism, they’re flowing in the direction of the Alts.

I’m more than a little concerned.

so what’s the general point of the latest bout of cuckscourse, anyway? ojst talks about cuck fetishim in a cringey way it’s easy to make fun of? ojst gets cuck fetishim wrong or oversimplified? ojst is actively harmful by not giving due attention to the racial aspects of cuck fetishim?

argumate

all of the above depending on who you talk to, plus the fact that most people find the concept of cucks intrinsically hilarious for reasons that are actually way more problematic than any sex positive comic; y’all should be ashamed of yourselves.

Intuitively I let furries, various shippers, BDSM, certain Tumblr users you may know, etc etc slide partly from tolerance and partly from Mutually Assured Kink Destruction.  (LGBT fine too but doesn’t qualify as kink, etc etc.)

Cuckldry though, makes me feel like they have no self-respect at all?  Which maybe isn’t true, but I don’t feel that way about male BDSM submissive types which is the closest analogue I can think of.

So yeah I’m probably a little bit problematic, but you already knew that.

The “war is good for the economy” meme just won’t die, even among people who should know better.

All we need to do is blow up Europe again, and also China and Japan and every other country with significant industrial capacity, and we’ll be good to go for another two or three decades.

I can actually see a possible argument here:

“War destroys an enormous amount of value in the form of lives wasted, resources burned, and infrastructure destroyed, but it can also break a political deadlock and allow reallocation of production within the economy that leads to increased efficiency after the war, as well as smoothing the way for redistribution programs to ex-soldiers that reduce inequality and boost demand.”

Like, maybe? But the fuckin’ annoying thing is that killing a few million people and sending millions of tons of shipping to the bottom of the Atlantic is a very indirect way of passing legislation and it would be nice to just do it directly.

Actually I meant that America was one of the very few countries with significant industrial capacity that had not been hit by strategic bombing campaigns reducing major cities to rubble.  As such, it had a major competitive advantage in the aftermath of the war.  

Most of the rival countries destroyed were already economically developed beforehand, so the survivors were able to reconstruct their advanced economies, which represented monumental growth - but only relative to the conditions caused by the war.
