Michael Flynn tonight: “If we are going to have one nation under God, which we must, we have to have one religion. One nation under God, and one religion under God.”
@WoodardColin These are the cultural and genetic heirs of the Puritans. You described them very accurately in your book... the kind of people who would love to brand other people's faces with the letter H: the-big-ger-picture.blogspot.com/2022/09/the-th…
@ScottAdamsSays Lifelong, sexually exclusive, legally formalized marriage is only a few thousand years old.
But long-term pair bonds to cooperatively raise kids are a few million years old in human evolution.
We can make of that what we will.
The biggest illusion of 2022 is that if your marriage doesn't work it is because you picked the wrong person.
It doesn't matter who you pick. Marriage is a pre-Internet, pre-equality system that no longer fits the modern world.
I don't have a better idea.
@gmiller heritable, if you got hunter-gatherer heritage you are more egalitarian and value the truth, if you have more farmer heritage you are more authoritarian and family/community oriented
Do you think human values are heritable, in the sense that genetic differences between people (not just family/culture differences) predict differences in their values, preferences, motivations, & moral judgments as adults?
1. MBTI is basically astrology.
Only kind of right. You can expect to see a basically even distribution of astrological signs across everything - GPA, big 5 personality test, jobs, cities - but information from all of these categories is predicted by MBTI type.
Everyone knows that MBTI is pseudoscience, barely better than astrology - with too-vague descriptions and "well most of these sorta fit me" personality descriptions.
Well, you're only halfway right! Buckle up kids, I'm gonna take us on an overly-detailed steelman of MBTI.
