watermelon-flavored strawberry, but perhaps just because of the avatar

Sometimes I’ll… hmn, how to describe, use certain twists of language or hints in order to come off one way or the other.

Someone once asked, on a post, “wait, is that a period joke?”  Yes, yes it was.  It was also several other jokes simultaneously.  But that has a certain weight to it in peoples’ gender reading intuitions.

Anyhow,

Avatars have a powerful effect on how we read people online, and lead to us making various subconscious assumptions.  Don’t worry though, I didn’t choose my avatar as a ‘gotcha’ to trip people up with.  

In an environment where gender presentation is much more of a choice than it is elsewhere, it also becomes part of communication and describing one’s intent to others, just as @wirehead-wannabe‘s rat avatar gives off a certain vibe about him, and @argumate‘s rotated pyramid is as frustratingly neutral as his posts.

So the avatar, too, is part of the message of this blog, an indicator of tone and so on, in addition to visual branding to make it recognizable and differentiate it from other blogs.

I will say that the grey is a deliberate choice as no real races are grey.  Yet.

Honey, darling,

You’re missing like the remaining 11/12ths necessary to describe a full neurotype matrix.  I feel cheated, here.  But I guess I can’t expect people to be living in the gender world of 2052.

I’ll just take the average.

5/10 Strawberry (F)
3/10 Watermelon (A)
2/10 Cherry (M)

An interesting reading.  I have been known to describe people, gender-wise, by ratios like this.

Now, to answer this more seriously, my experience has been that a combination of similarity and complementarity is the most successful in relationships.

Is cousin marriage for one generation bad beyond the genetic and possible tight family control aspect?

Well, see, here’s the thing.  White people (broadly) have been largely not-marrying-their-cousins for a while now, and they live in societies in which cousin marriage is fairly taboo.  So when white people marry their cousin, it typically is a one generation thing, preventing a whole bunch of snowballing consequences.

I’m sure it seems otherwise on this blog, but I actually don’t have a strong disgust reaction towards cousin marriage.  And if we continued to see rates around 1%, I wouldn’t really care.

But some populations have cousin-married at much higher rates, for much longer times.  So one generation of cousin marriage for them isn’t the same as one generation of cousin marriage for other people.

It isn’t “too late.”  Humans are resilient.  We just have to have them stop doing it now.

Since we don’t have the full lineages of everyone, and I don’t want to go by other categories, I’d rather just throw the (very tiny) baby out with the bathwater and ban it for everyone.

Also, a big chunk of the tight family control aspect is cultural transmission.  So now I’ll have to actually make that post about cultural transmission (generally) at some point, seeing as some things like FGM are cultural so cultural transmission isn’t all nice things like ethnic foods.

What seriously separates cosmopoli from ethnonational states? And what seriously makes them worse? Their lifetimes seem comparable to me, especially given that most countries didn't experience a national awakening until kings started consolidating feudal conglomerations towards the dawn of capitalism.

You don’t need a pure ethnonational country, though that can cut down on certain bullshit like what’s happening between the Buddhists and the Muslims in Myanmar.  (Hint: It isn’t solely a story of purely poor, innocent Muslims, but one of those cases of cyclical retaliatory ethnic violence.)

The chief question is, are you willing to do what it takes to make that cosmopolitan polity not descend into retaliatory ethnic violence, potential ethnic predation, and ethnicity-aligned political parties?

Like, if you’re not willing to do that, then what you get is ethnic violence.

If you look over at what’s happening in the British cities, with the child sex trafficking, and grooming, and so on, and not only are you not willing to slam down the iron hand of the state to stop it dead in its tracks, but you won’t even stop them from marrying their cousins at rates way above what is normal or even healthy (Wikipedia, wrt ethnic rates of cousin marriage and assoc. issues in UK, etc), then you don’t really have what it takes to make a cosmopolitan polity work.

And if you don’t have what it takes to make a cosmopolitan polity work, then an ethnic polity is a safer choice.  

This is somewhat disguised by the fact that not all cultures are equally destabilizing.  You can pretend, for a while, if the underlying conditions are right, and succeed by accident.

Additionally, cosmopolitan vs ethnonationalism is a continuum, not a binary.  Well actually it’s a multidimensional space, not a continuum.  But you get the idea.
