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????????
> when you get caught concealed ovulating without a license

Are Brexit and Trump the first signs that the Dire Problem is coming to a head? What political upheavals will we see when Google perfects the self-driving car and the TruckApocalypse comes?
slatestarscratchpad answered:
If the Dire Problem is supposed to be job automation, most of the best studies I’ve seen suggest that job automation isn’t having real effects right now (yes, everyone is confused about this, but the studies are pretty unanimous). I don’t know whether that will continue past the Truckpocalypse (<– correct form, your portmanteau is way too unwieldy).
My guess is Trump and Brexit have more to do with income inequality caused by other stuff, increased class differences coming from the income inequality, and various social stuff coming out of those class differences.

Nah, I think anon has it. Try rapping it. You don’t want that “ck” right against the “p”, the “a” in between makes it flow. “truck-uh-pock-uh-lips” is delicious.
But if the Truckpocalypse is related to the Trumpocalypse, we want parallel -ocalypse structures to make them more easily comparable.
“The Trumpocalypse caused the Truckpocalypse” sounds good,
“The Trumpocalypse caused the TruckApocalypse” is just ridiculous.
“Truckapocalypse” sounds better absent context but the meter and consonance mean that I can’t stop thinking of “Snuffleupagus” and “Papadopoulos” when I hear it.
You fuckers have it completely wrong.
“Truckpocalypse” and “Truck Apocalypse” are two DIFFERENT supervillains. You can’t go mixing them up like this. There was a court case about it and everything - it’s fucking trademarked. You could get sued.

cant believe a bunch of english kids go through a fuckin cupboard and find a magical kingdom full of wonder and they go “yeah we’re the royal family now”
typical english behaviour
I think what’s more creepily imperialistic is the reaction of everyone in Narnia to the Pevensies.
Like, the Pevensies end up the royal family in large part because everyone’s like ‘it has been prophesied that you will come and rule us and everything will be great!’ and, well, in-universe I can’t really fault them on that; if I were a young teen or pre-teen in a completely foreign country, I too would probably just go along with whatever seem to make people friendly to me.
But the reaction of the Narnians, in almost ubiquitously welcoming these foreigners as obviously destined to rule them even though they know nothing of the country and the culture… now that is some creepily imperialist writing.
This is the only good reblog of this post in it’s entire 3 year hellscape existence

The claim that the average Capitalism has over 3,000 efficiencies is a statistical error. The typical Capitalism has 3 efficiencies. Posthuman Hypercapitalism, which is instantiated only in the Post-Yudkowskyian Dream Timeline, produces over 3,000,000 efficiencies per day through retroactive quantum precognition and wordline branch prediction. It is an outlier, and should not be counted.

SAN FRANCISCO—In an effort to reduce the number of unprovoked hostile communications on the social media platform, Twitter announced Monday that it had added a red X-mark feature verifying users who are in fact perfectly okay to harass. “This new verification system offers users a simple, efficient way to determine which accounts belong to total pieces of shit whom you should have no qualms about tormenting to your heart’s desire,” said spokesperson Elizabeth James, adding that the small red symbol signifies that Twitter has officially confirmed the identity of a loathsome person who deserves the worst abuse imaginable and who will deliberately have their Mute, Block, and Report options disabled. “When a user sees this symbol, they know they’re dealing with a real asshole who has richly earned whatever mistreatment they receive, including profanity, body-shaming, leaking of personal information, and relentless goading to commit suicide. It’s really just a helpful way of saying to our users, ‘This fuck has it coming, so do your worst with a clear conscience and without fear of having your account suspended.’” At press time, Twitter reassuredly clarified that the red X was just a suggestion and that all users could still be bullied with as little recourse as they are now.
