Deteriorating Child Gender Ratio in Indian states.
Fuck
On one hand, horrible
On another hand, I read “child sex ratio” and “900 per 1000” and thought it’d be more horrible than it is
China has issues with its inheritance and care-for-the-elderly laws and social patterns that could mean no support in old age with no son.
What on Earth is happening in India?
Or to put it differently,
if 50% of the population is bisexual,
or the gender ratio is distorted,
or overall hormone levels and mating strategies significantly change,
then it makes sense to revisit the idea of multiple marriage for normies.
(Much like, for vegans, vatmeat becoming available means revisiting the idea of eating meat!)
A social synthesis for a healthy society depends on various conditions/truths about that society. The rules for a society of near-immortals are naturally going to be different from the rules for a society with a life expectancy of 40.
The real question is whether every field should have a 50:50 gender ratio, and the implications of achieving that.
In Equitopia, the government selects each person’s field at birth to ensure a balanced gender ratio in all professions.
“but how will I ever be able to get laid if modern culture frowns upon me getting coworkers drunk and making out with them against their mumbled protestations?? it’s not like my wife is gonna sleep with me lol”
I have not actually worked out how modern culture proposes people are meant to get laid.
I mean, people obviously seem to be doing it, but there appears to be no acceptable strategy.
You ignore the recommendations, and prove how manly you are by taking on the risk anyway, getting shut down viciously if you’re too low-status.
The problem is that any permissible channel will be FLOODED due to the mismatch between the demand for sex from women and demand for sex from men, at least at the noisiest age pools.
Secondly, straight women (generally, on average) do not want to initiate beyond the barest hints, ones that are plausibly deniable if she turns out not to be wanted by that particular guy, leaving her sense of being desirable intact.
What is going to change this is early Transhumanism, as it’s going to alter the sex ratio and potentially result in an increase in bisexuality.
I mean, in practice I used a dating website, which implicitly includes the idea that everyone there for dating is there for dating, and specifies their orientation, so if you don’t have “short/long-term dating” and so on your profile, no fuck for you,
but I don’t necessarily match the patterns of other people, so this may not be actionable advice.
Anyhow, to add on to this, revealing you find someone hot when you’re attempting to extract resources or in a high-stakes …relationship negotiation? …hurts your bargaining position.
At least, you can still get away with pretending that you have to be won over (and showered in all the resources that “winning over”) requires, so long as there are more incoming proposals than outgoing ones, such that the norm is they have to approach you if they find you hot.
As the sex ratio changes, this becomes less and less feasible.
Since I expect a decent-sized chunk of people (3-5%) to “exit” from being male (as we know it) once the technology improves, that throws the bargaining out of whack, as does bisexuality, which means you’re competing with more people for a higher virtual gender ratio… or something. Naturally, once being a sex is more voluntary, what being that sex means changes as well.

Forget anglosphere, we need to go bigger

I know some of you are going to read this and think I’m a big evil person, but whatever.
You know, I didn’t care about the immigration issue so much ten years ago.
Having immigrants from India, from China… that was NORMAL. That was what I grew up with.
But then suddenly
Now, a lot of people are going to object “but you’re in America, this hasn’t happened (much) in America!” YET. There is nothing different enough about America to prevent this if America adopts the same policies, except that we have guns, and so if someone tries to sex traffic our children people might find them and shoot them.
We already had an underground FGM ring busted in Michigan. They told me that wouldn’t happen.
My standards are not especially high, here.
Now I know some of you want really absurdly high levels of immigration.
But if you want that, then you have to accept a very different and significantly less liberal framework for criminal justice and citizenship rights. It is possible to resolve these issues, but you must be willing to pay the ideological price.
Assembly Building, Chandigarh, India, 1956-62
(Le Corbusier)
Wrong, this is obviously some kind of power plant, as evidenced by the embedded cooling tower.
Pfft, silly Indians thinking they were building an assembly building when they were actually building a nuclear reactor.
you know how if you ask someone where they are from, they’ll tell you their country of origin like “Norway” or “India” or whatever but Americans are all “my parents are originally from ohio but i’ve lived in utah forever until i moved to houston- NY not TX haha”
okay ashleigh you could’ve just said usa, but no you expect the whole world to know every state in your country when your 23 year old ass can’t point to china on a map. so now i’m on urban dictionary bc i thought SoCal is an artificial sweetener
THIS IS MY FAVORITE DUMB AMERICAN THING??? it captures the entire experience of being an American. it seems super dumb and self-centered to anyone who isn’t from here but it is completely comprehensible to any other American and also NECESSARY because most states are size of European nations and we have the same weird hateful feelings towards one another??? so I need to explain to you why you shouldn’t hate me like, bitch, you better not think I live in Texas bc fuck those guys MY STATE DIDN’T VOTE FOR GEORGE BUSH
yesterday, @freekicks accidentally referred to California as a country and I launched into a spiel about how we’re big enough and have the fifth largest economy in the world (SUCK OUR DICK) and she told me to go fuck myself and that’s how you know I’m a Californian (and she is a New Yorker)
but ALSO we are intensely competitive about how authentically whatever we are so you can’t just say you’re from New York when you really grew up in MINNESOTA and just moved to New York as an adult so I need to tell you that my FAMily is from SoCal and I spent a bunch of my childhood there bc I can’t say I’m Californian just bc I’ve lived here for four years DOESN’T COUNT
but I am Californian bc I’m a snotty asshole and also I say “the 5” when I’m talking about freeways and I eat too many avocados and I know how to pronounce Vallejo and La Jolla
Other Americans may find the distinctions important, but it still absolutely comes across as dumb and self-centred to the rest of us xD
I mean, it’s been over six years since it happened, but I still distinctly remember the first time I heard an American answer that question with “the USA”. It was his first time hanging out with my friendship group, and there were maybe a dozen of us there from as many different countries – and every single one of us was like wait, what??!?
Literally before any more introductions could happen, the entire conversation devolved into the rest of us bitching about how Americans always expect the rest of the world to know and care about the differences between their states and cities. (As if other countries don’t have deeply entrenched local identities and rivalries. And the size argument falls a bit flat when you’ve got people from China, Australia and Brazil in the room.)
In this case it turned out our new American friend had spent quite a few years living in Europe, where he’d picked up on the fact that this is something that the rest of the world finds slightly exasperating.
This is good to know as an American. Like seriously. I had no idea it came across as arrogant.
But for the record… it is actually important to us. So that’s why we tell you. I’m not from the United States. The state/city I’m from happens to be in the United States. That’s literally how we think about it, because to us saying we’re from the US is totally unhelpful. And because the vast majority of us don’t/can’t get off this contintent very often, we don’t really have practice answering the question, “where are you from?” with “The United States.” Also… I would figure the accent would give it away.
Also, it does control which American stereotype inevitably gets pulled out. The number of times I got asked if I played the banjo because I’m from the American South… I swear. But at least they weren’t saying, “Fuggetabbatit!” or “Surf’s up!”
The Entirety of Europe is
3.931 million
square miles in area (About 10 million Square kilometers)
The United States is 3.797 million million square miles in area.
Saying “Im from the USA” is, geographically similar to saying “I am from Europe.”
We are the third largest country in the world. The difference, geographically, between California and New York is about 1000km larger than the difference from France and Russia, and you pass 3 or 4 fucking countries between France and Russia depending on route.
So how is it self centered to give more detailed information? Like if someone said they were from the UK I would ask what part, because a Scotsman and an Englishman are very different, and they fucking border each other.
So fuck off.
Russia is significantly larger than the USA, yet I feel the need to elaborate exactly what part I’m from, neither do I lie that my country is literally more culturally diverse than the entirety of a continent because you cook mildly different burgers. You fuck off.
Irony: Europe is pursuing internal open borders, unified currency, and a federal state, moves that will promote Europe becoming more culturally uniform over geography and less culturally diverse at the continental level, like the United States. People will claim that won’t be the outcome, but we already have a United States for comparison. (Likewise with global open borders and culture.)
Argh, I’m super bored and ornery today.
Hey internet, I just mixed Indian curry with kimchi and put it over Japanese rice. Quick, someone come yell at me about cultural appropriation.
What about Japanese curry! They picked it up from the British, who picked it up from India, so it’s been through multiple layers of cultural reinterpretation.
The Imperial Navy made it a standard dish, just like the Royal Navy, and apparently the maritime defence force still eat curry for Friday meals even today!
But we must go deeper… while the Japanese were occupying Korea, they introduced curry there. Now you can get Korean Japanese British Indian curry, a hybrid dish whose existence depends on the most brutal imperialism of the 19th and 20th centuries!
Coming up next: why the US navy drinks coffee and the British navy drinks rum, a sordid tale of slavery and exploitation. Yay, history!
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.
