Text of the page (random words):
hive is a more obvious meta organism you probably already know all about bees so i will attempt not to bore you by over explaining the queen bee lays the only eggs worker bees all female spend their days flying miles back and forth to fetch nectar for the hive until their wings literally fall apart and they die the colony survives even if the majority of the workers die say in destroying an intruder the bee does what it has evolved to do but i do not find such a fate personally attractive despite my obvious affection for bees i do not want to be a bee i want to be a person corporations like bee colonies are meta organisms they are created they live they die they attempt to get legislation passed in their favor they will if not controlled by some outside source literally work their employees to death corporations do what is best for the corporation or else what is best for the queen bee management ceos a world where corporations are given the same rights as people is a world where corporations change the political social and economic landscape to favor the continued existence of corporations rather than the human beings who are supposed to benefit from them 6 comments why do patriotic americans like the confederate flag june 24 2015 october 3 2015 evolutiontheorist human migration cultures and species of exit species of exit america anthropology army confederate flag conservatives in group preference social signaling or in group cohesion and the stars and bars oh look fieldwork in my further attempts to understand different segments of american society i ve been trying to listen to what folks in the army are talking about observation one they like boobs observation two a higher than average at least compared to the people i normally encounter percentage of them like or do not hate the confederate flag to the lay observer this seems like a contradiction after all isn t the confederate flag symbolic of a traitorous break away nation that opened fire on the us military installment at fort sumter wouldn t everyone in the us army under such circumstances be compelled to open fire on those rebels something more than superficial logic must be going on possibility one freedom of speech maybe people who sign up to defend american values at home and abroad are just really strong supporters of freedom of speech while certainly some army folks do cite this line of reasoning they seem no more inclined to it than anyone else the general sentiment towards flag burning another case of protected but offensive speech appears much less positive they might vaguely tolerate flag burning if they have to but virtually none of them would actually burn the us flag by contrast some of them sorry i have no hard stats actively like the confederate flag possibility two out migration of liberals leaves a remnant population in which conservatives come to represent what america stands for and this remnant increasingly conservative population uses the confederate flag to symbolize its conservativeness eh certainly there is a physical overlap between the part of the country that produces most army grunts hard core patriots and people who like the confederate flag and people may not actually think through their cultural symbols but just kinda like stuff they grew up with this line of thought feels inelegant possibility 3 signaling in group preference if there s anything that differentiates conservatives from liberals preferring one s in group over the out group ranks pretty high liberals are so fond of the out group they ve literally taken to calling themselves allies if there s anything that probably inspires people to join the army it s preference for one s in group country state city etc over folks in one s out group after all the entire purpose of the army is to defend one s in group by killing or threatening to kill one s out group this is about as literal as it gets obviously the confederate flag only has any kind of significance to people from the american south i wouldn t expect in group oriented folks from saudi arabia to start flying it for example symbols probably can t be totally random but we already know that the us army draws more from the us south than from saudi arabia a lot of people claim that the confederate flag symbolizes racism that s probably true but almost no one thinks of themselves as racist no one thinks of themselves as dumb either even though 50 of people are by definition below average most mentally healthy people resist applying insults to themselves and racist is an insult as such i think it more functional to claim that the stars and bars represents in group preference cohesion to those who fly it and fuck you to those not in the group as people may have multiple layers of group identity i suspect people in the army may simultaneously identify with the us their specific sub region of the us the south their state home city local sports teams their friends family religious group the army etc many people claim the confederate flag has less to do with anti black sentiment as with anti yankee sentiment to be frank it s not like an army of black people ever invaded the south and burned a large swath of it to the sea i wouldn t really know because i ve never hung out with confederate flag fans long enough to do a comparative study of how they react to different groups of outsiders regardless the flag s offensive reputation may not matter so much as the fact that it has an offensive reputation your in group signalling may be more effective if it imposes some cost on signalers this makes it harder for non group members to trick you into extending the benefits of group membership for example you can t just call yourself a jew and get a free ticket to israel you have to do things like keep kosher which is an enormous pain in the ass for people who aren t used to it there are legal ramifications to having one s conversion declared invalid due to inadequate adherence to kosher laws and other orthodox jewish legal standards this may come across as anal retentive but in the long run it keeps the privileges of in group membership for people who are actually devoted to the in group likewise the offensiveness of the confederate flag keeps the benefits of southern in group membership for those willing to deal with the social stigma attached to flag or at least willing to say fuck you to everyone outside their social group 7 comments no you don t build up your immunity by getting sick june 24 2015 october 3 2015 evolutiontheorist

you get sick less often as an adult you can develop immunity to specific diseases but there are too many diseases out there and they mutate too rapidly to develop immunity to enough diseases to end up generally less prone to disease getting sick actually makes you more likely to get sick not less take measles a new epidemiological study suggests that people who ve had the measles remain susceptible to other infections for more than 2 years much longer than researchers anticipated the results bolster a hypothesis that the measles virus undermines the immune system s memory and indicate that the measles vaccine protects against other deadly diseases as well researchers have long known that measles inhibits the immune system but they generally thought this effect wore off after a few months at the most however studies of children in developing countries where most cases occur found that measles vaccination reduces the overall death rate from infections for up to 5 years suggesting that preventing the disease somehow provides protection against other illnesses mitch leslie science aaas news not so marvelous now are they honestly if getting sick made you less likely to get sick afterwards everyone who got smallpox would have had the immune system of doom and never died of anything malaria would have rendered sub saharan africa a disease free zone long term populations get less prone to getting specific diseases just because the most susceptible people have died and people with mutations or behaviors that make them more resistant have survived i have been reading a lot about aids 2 comments the marxist meme plex as cargo cult of the industrial revolution june 23 2015 october 3 2015 evolutiontheorist political critiques capitalism cargo cult communism ideology industrialization marx marxism meme plex myths religion science worlview so i was thinking about marxism and how strange it is that it only ever really caught on in precisely the countries where it itself proclaimed it shouldn t and never became very domestically important in the countries where it was supposed to go it s kind of like if there were a bunch of people going around proclaiming this is what mexican culture is like only none of them were mexican and actual mexicans wanted very little to do with it you might suspect that the stuff being called mexican culture wasn t all that mexican only we re talking about overthrowing the state and killing a bunch of people rather than tacos and cinco de mayo marx proclaimed that communism by which i mean marxist style communism inspired by marx and written about by marx in his many works on the subject which became the intellectual basis for the international communist movement that eventually triumphed in the ussr china vietnam cuba n korea etc was supposed to be the natural outgrowth of capitalism itself in industrialized nations but the list i just gave contains only barely industrialized or practically feudal nations marx was of course a mere mortal one cannot expect anyone to write thousands of pages and come out correct in all of them still this is a pretty big oversight a great deal of marx s theory rests on the belief that the form of the economic system dictates the culture and political system that is that capitalism forces people to act and organize in certain ways in order to feed the capitalist machine feudalism forces people to act and organize in certain other ways in order to feed the feudal machine so for the capitalist industrialized countries to not go communist while a bunch of non capitalist non industrialized do seems like a pretty big blow to the basics of the theory kind of like if i had a theory that all noble gases were naturally magnetic and all metals weren t and yet metal things kept sticking to my magnets and noble gases seemed relatively uninterested i might eventually start thinking that maybe i was wrong of course you can pick and chose your marxism you might like the idea of the commodity fetish while throwing out the rest of the bathwater have at it but we are speaking here of believing both broadly and deeply enough in marx s theories to actually advocate overthrowing the state and murdering all the kulaks my own theory is that marxism appealed to the wrong group of people precisely because they were the wrong group of people actual scientists tend to have little interest in pseudo science actual members of a culture don t get excited by fake versions of their culture and people with actual experience with industrial capitalism have little interest in marxism in short marxism became a kind of myth among unindustrialized or barely industrialized people about what would happen when the factories came and so believing the myth they made it happen marx had intended to create a science describing patterns in his data and thereby making predictions about the future when that future didn t happen the first reaction of his followers was to double down the theory must not have worked because evil bad people were sabotaging it if it happens naturally why would it have saboteurs many people have accused communism of being a religion an atheistic religion but a religion nonetheless ssc wisely asks is everything a religion since practically everything does get described as a religion even cargo cult programming every worldview every meme plex as i like to call them involves certain beliefs about the world that help people make sense of the vast quantities of data we absorb every day and make predictions about the future my observation of the sun rising leads me to believe there is a consistent pattern of sun rises in morning and that therefore the sun will rise tomorrow science itself contains many such beliefs religions like all other world views and meme plexes provide a way of organizing and understanding one s observations about the world generally through appeal to supernatural agents it rains because zeus is peeing through a sieve suffering exists because sin the obvious reason belief systems get called religions is to insult them and suggest that they are irrational of course none of us is entirely rational the idea that bags of rice that suddenly fell from the sky were the gift of the sky gods makes as much sense as any other if you have no other information on the subject scientists believe wrong and irrational things too the critical difference is that science attempts to falsify itself a theory cannot even be described as scientific if it cannot be falsified all meme plexes resist change both because of human biases and because it s probably a bad idea to try to re formulate your beliefs about everything every time you happen across a single discordant datum but science does attempt to disprove and discard bad theories over time this is fundamentally what science is and this is why i love science a faith by contrast is something one just believes even despite evidence to the contrary or without any ability to disprove it for the deeply faithful the reaction to evidence that contradicts one s theory is generally not hrm maybe the theory is wrong but we aren t following the the theory hard enough the former leads to penicillin and airplanes the later leads to dead people note i feel compelled to add that not all faith leads to dead people faith in communism certainly did however marxists failed to admit information that contradicted their theories they just killed people who contradicted their theories for being counter revolutionaries 10
