Synchronicity strikes. I am helping young parents with a few local start-up schools. They are supplemental schools rather than alternative because the target students are roughly the equivalence of American primary and Jr. High students and they must go to the compulsory, Prussian style schools dictated by the Ministry of (mis)Education. So we are just trying to undo some of the emotional damage/trauma of brute memorization for standardized tests. Maybe provide a more individually empowering link between homeschooling and the compulsory system.
Skimming through a couple of links brought me to some of your posts before I had started following you ... and was pleased to see that "kulangeta" was prominent in your analysis of the perverse incentives behind the Prussian system. I read Lobaczewski's book on ponerology a year or so ago, and though I agree that the sociopath in the family closet is a fractal of what has been going on at larger scales, I disagree with him in that science is the right domain or heuristics for evil any more than there can be a science of happiness, or that the kulangeta are intellectually degenerate compared to the empathetically neurotypical. On the contrary, without normal neural pathways for empathy, they excel at observation, mimicry, and long term planning ... though in an ultimately self-destructive way. I guess a big question is how many innocents will be outsourced as collateral damage before the next Tower of Babel fall?
I remembered Bloom's Taxonomy from grad school (education) which is a big help in designing a curriculum that empowers the kids, but am having a bit more trouble convincing the parents of the importance of entire empathy-driven communities (rather than just schools) for facilitating the maturation of morally autonomous members of the community. The parents know something is wrong with Japan's collectivist style of Prussian education, but that is how they were raised too.
Somewhat revealing ... of the 39 languages that wiki has for "Bloom's Taxonomy", Japanese is not one of them. It is a learning process for us all, but fun. Now having the kids work in small groups to craft (and sing) their own lyrics to this little ditty ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-diB65scQU
In light of Klaus Schwab's command to "be happy", I suppose I will have to craft my own verse or two. 😅
Whether or not I find compelling reason to comply, I always enjoy it when you come here to share your stories. I enjoy them myself, but I also like that they're here for others to read.
Mathew, thank you for pursuing what you value and being willing to condense for others the totality of what you can pack tighter. You are a great teacher and I appreciate your worth and your dignity. I find my own ideas challenged by your critiques in a rich and respectful way, and I wish my lifestyle enabled more time for me to spend tracking your conceptual deployment and strategy as a model for your praxis, because the truth you are tracking is clearly driving you towards a honed Bigger Picture idea of such high dimensional resolution because of the topologies inherent within the networks of your graphs comprising all these Finer Details. This is when I find it important to think this situation with Col John Boyd, through whom I find a truth that rings very true with what I take is where you want all these stacks to come together for people to work and operate in decentralized, localized groups towards a shared truth in overtaking and overcoming those who seek our collective enslavement and degradation through malicious, soulless indifference or worse.
Keeping teaching others how to judge their own synthesis, their own work!
I was actually thinking about this with regard to Mattias Desmet discussing Harari and Homo Deus. In a book about the poet Li Po/Li Bai, The Banished Immortal, the author Ha Jin says that 4 or 5 Chinese emperors died from immortality pills concocted by their court alchemists. The centuries long desperate desire to achieve immortality in both East and West culminating in our recent transhumanist absurdity, (and my tragic hypothesis is that all the mutilated and maimed trans kids, who will be even more suicidal and miserable will then be offered the transhumanist path), comes after the Mysteries, which bestowed knowledge of immortality according to Brian Muraresku in The Immortality Key and his scholarly research using archaeobotany, were obliterated and religions entrenched instead. The rich and evil and basically stupid, think they are such specimens of genetic superiority (think Epstein inviting Hawking to the island) that their genes should make it into future generations while they basically try to cut all of us off from whatever lies buried in us epigenetically and genetically and whateverelsely yet to be discovered, and instead we are to be "evolved" through the mrna and the trans movement. It is Dunning Kruger hubris of the oldest order. I even think it might be possible that the rich on all worlds are like this and that they end up degenerating whatever civilization might have arisen through this arrogance and callousness and inhumanity, like the Fermi Paradox, only involving the fucking rich.
The psychological damage from trama is well documented in PTSD. Children are much more vulnerable. How many were damaged in the orphan trains? or corrupt institutional homes in many places. The millennium will expose the evil done to vulnerable children and the impact it has had. I had the unfortunate experience of being a juror at the trial of a ______ who raped and murdered a 2 yr old. What twisted that mind.
"the authors state that the genetic factors strongly influence the behavior and general intelligence of individuals and accounts for about 70 percent of the variation in IQ."
"monozygotic twins can be expected to achieve similar results on school tests, whereas unrelated siblings can be expected to achieve different outcomes."
Do you remember the Eddie Murphy movie Trading Places? It was about Nature vs. Nurture. What the $1 bet between the Duke brothers was about.
I share several clips from the movie and offer other related insights that the eugenicists and delusional elite believe and are also guilty of treating mankind as social experiments in their pursuit of complete domination of us in this Stack. Hopefully you find something new and interesting in it, and are entertained by it!
Trading Place is a fun flick, but a bit overboard in terms of the exact truth of the matter. Behavioral habits are tough to overcome so easily. It is easier to see somebody take a fall from a high place and become a jerk than somebody without the practiced skillset of high society or finance become a moral leader in that environment in a matter of weeks. But the willing suspension of disbelief is reasonable in the case of such a flick.
Of course. It was entertainment playing into stereotypes for comedic effect. But is useful to introduce concept to those unacquainted. And glean how truly sociopathic and sadistic the "elite" truly are. Inasmuch as it was over the top in some ways it was frightfully understated in others.
I often wonder if there are $1 bets over if healthy people would wear face diapers, or if we'll eat bugs, share bug recipes. If we'll cheer on men with pigtails outlifting women in competition, call Bruce "Caitlin" and embrace other absurdities as our truths. A lot of $1's being traded from wallets to wallets.
Great article. The most promising social programs out there mentor young disengaged boys (on the brink of suicide/jail), give them a sense of belonging, tailored education and a job. They have incredible success and break the intergenerational cycle of trauma.
I will write an article about this later, for now I am looking for any other people who can think independently of dogma and are familiar with the scientific method.
I suspect that nearly all addiction is the result of trauma and con artist pushers whose illusions may only take root due to traumatically sabotaged education.
Here s a list of ailments with statistically likely mental/spiritual/emotional causes that Louise Hay produced during her work as a Christian Scientist facilitator. I have found them to be a good first approximation for many things in my life and those around me.
Note the entry for "fat" that has a long list of causes.
A neighbour of mine who was not academically inclined in any way and did not follow news or such once 30 years ago referred to overweight ladies sympathetically as "damaged goods" because of trauma they had suffered at some point in the past. He had been dating one at the time and I have verified the claim over the years with a small number of overweight women having stories of trauma to tell to sympathetic ears.
I also believe that trauma is often multi-generational and as victims act out in an attempt to abreact the pain and in so doing hand it down to the next generation. It takes a lot of introspection and self healing, etc. to avoid passing it on. I believe a LOT more resources should be spent on breaking the links in the chain of abuse that perpetrators are caught in. The incarceration system simply hones the techniques while pausing the release back into society.
as someone who has had severe trauma, as well as middling kinds, and has had an eating disorder since the age of 12, fat/anorexia being 2 sides of a coin, also, orbach's FIAFI. is still relevant. i've recently found that my body issues mask something even deeper, and are connected with other lives/spiritual issues, that might seem far out to you/many. actually my lesson today is relevant to this. i recently started doing the workbook, after giving up in 92, after spending the last 2 years doing intense therapy, , called soul level healing, and reading/watching things about this. i'm not expecting you to believe this, most don't, but it's relevant to my experience. I am under no laws but God’s (https://acim.org/acim/en/s/479 | W-76)
1. So, in other words, you define trauma as anything which negatively affects someone's mental health.
It isn't necessary to define it that way, but I can accept that you do.
I'm more inclined to use the word for specific events that are damaging.
When it's sustained over a long time I feel that it becomes conditioning.
But it's subjective I suppose.
2. That's only because the medical establishment doesn't define it as an eating addiction.
A healthy person can lose the extra weight simply by not eating. As long as they are hungry, they will be losing weight.
Ergo, if they want to be slim yet remain fat, then they are either unwilling to stop eating or to be hungry. The latter could be thought of as a withdrawal symptom.
Addiction is used to describe any activity that a person is unwilling to stop doing even at a high personal cost.
Though I would probably define it as an activity they want to stop but can't.
A lot of people are overweight because of fluid retention due to protective metabolic actions as a result of inflammation or toxic overload.
I know of cases where progressive reduction of food intake to below survival calories has resulted in a initial weight reduction as per your theory followed by plateauing that disproves your simplistic view of weight loss, the weight loss specialists could not reduce intake further and said they would have to look to an endocrinologist (which did not help ether) to find the cause of the problem.
Not just mental, personal. Any force that is perceived as a threat/danger to any pattern integrity. What defines a pattern integrity needs to be explored and seriously debated, but for now I'm leaning towards the cellular level (at least how life operates here and now on this planet as I am).
a lot of things are traumatic. even very traumatic things are often downplayed, but ''suck it up'' is used for many not so obviously , severely traumatic things.
Conversely, there are now many more events/incidents deemed traumatic that a resilient person would not find traumatic. Thinking it probably depends on one's perspective.
I'm honestly sorry and meaning no disrespect, but I could not take time to read this essay, because it does not have a short *first* paragraph at the beginning of the essay stating in detail the basic premise of the essay.
So many writers these days never learn this crucial basic element of writing an essay or news story.
Especially in these days of a massive flood of information hitting us all from every imaginable direction like blasted water from multiple fire hoses, it is absolutely *vital* that you write a short introductory paragraph to your piece stating the basic premise or claim in enough detail to center the reader on what they are about to read.
If you don't do so, everyone who is pressed for time (which is most of us these days) will simply stop reading because they don't have a core idea to hold onto, to clearly lead them into the rest of the essay.
It has nothing to do with 'laziness'. Read some basic style books. The number one rule of essays and reports is to synopsize your position or thesis in a paragraph at the beginning.
This is the foundation of good nonfiction writing, and is absolutely central to the basic logic of making an effective argument.
1) *VERY* short attention-getter
2) Short paragraph as introduction firmly and clearly stating the thesis.
3) Body: Points of facts and logic which support the thesis.
4) Short close restating the thesis and showing how the facts and logic validate it.
5) If it is your intention, a call to action based on the facts and logic supporting the thesis.
You may wish to go mention somebody who hasn't published 20 million words, and perhaps do some soul searching as to why you're giving advice to people whom you haven't read, know nothing about (yes, that's lazy), and who didn't ask. I hope you can rise above the level of competing with A.I. as you focus your energies.
Someone who has published 20 million words and yet somehow is not known at all to the general public by name? I began as a journalist, and a grassroots organizer, trained in being concise and persuasive. And in junior high school I was taught the basic style points which gave me the tools to do so.
Some of the most published writers of all, eg. professors in academia, or hack fiction writers, fill entire libraries while churning out some of the worst and most unpersuasive drivel imaginable.
If you seek to persuade and educate, being concise and following the basic structure of a logical argument (which was invented thousands of years ago and has been winning the day ever since) is vital.
But it's your blog. You can of course do anything you wish with it..
You haven't been concise or persuasive, and you're apparently the sort of person who shows up on an estate in a country where you've never been and immediately starts lecturing the billionaire estate owner on how they should run their affairs, not knowing what those affairs are, and being confused as to how it is that you don't know everyone in this country you picked off a map. But you insist that you're needed to sort things out.
I'm interested in your thoughts on obesity and trauma. It's also starting to be hard to find people who haven't been put on psych drugs, and they do something to the body or mind which makes a person crave carbs - especially the anti-psychotics.
I recently read a comment where someone attributed personality changes in statin users as "hunter chemistry" trying to save them from this strange chemical onslaught. I wonder how traumatizing these psych drugs are and if something similar is going on.
Hi Mathew,

Hi Mathew,
Don't want to rob you of productive time.
Just seeing your upvote is enough to reassure me I'm not pissn' in the wind.
Cheers, and keep up the good fight.
(I also want to encourage others to read your stories, which was part of the reason for the reply.)
Mathew, thank you for pursuing what you value and being willing to condense for others the totality of what you can pack tighter. You are a great teacher and I appreciate your worth and your dignity.

I think of trauma from WWI and how skinny everyone was back then.
How do you define trauma?
Wasn't there a study of adopted, and separated, twins that showed IQ is more than 50% genetic?
No.
What, not even one?
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886903002691
It doesn't show anything except by misinterpretation, which was the whole point of Sasha's article.
These are misinterpretation as well I assume?
"the authors state that the genetic factors strongly influence the behavior and general intelligence of individuals and accounts for about 70 percent of the variation in IQ."

Given that I have broken these results, I'm not sure what you're asking.

genetics is a bogus science to begin with. Here's the paper which was awarded the Nobel
Prize. Spot the problems in it: https://dosequis.colorado.edu/Courses/MethodsLogic/papers/WatsonCrick1953.pdf
Spell out the "problems" in it.
I will write an article about this later, for now I am looking for any other people who can think independently of dogma and are familiar with the scientific method.
Obesity is a result of eating addiction.
Addiction can result from psychological trauma but it's not necessarily the case. It can also arise from neglect.
Perhaps we could define neglect as trauma, but if we go down that road nearly anything can be trauma.
1. Neglect is certainly traumatizing.
2. Eating addiction is rare. Obesity is far more common. A quick literature check shows that most obese people are not eating addicts.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8784968/#:~:text=Prevalence%20and%20Risk%20Factors&text=According%20to%20a%20systematic%20review,for%20food%20addiction%20(8).

losing weight does not solve the real problems, and most put it on again.
this is understood re alcohol/heroin, but not food, which is actually harder to quit, as one can't completely.
i've certainly done it, all the way to physical anorexia, the mindset was there before, and after. it's taken me decades not to be afraid to eat.
the whole thing masks something else, even past the basic trauma response.
A lot of people are overweight because of fluid retention due to protective metabolic actions as a result of inflammation or toxic overload.
I know of cases where progressive reduction of food intake to below survival calories has resulted in a initial weight reduction as per your theory followed by plateauing that disproves your simplistic view of weight loss, the weight loss specialists could not reduce intake further and said they would have to look to an endocrinologist (which did not help ether) to find the cause of the problem.

many aren't resilient, because of earlier severe trauma, or negative effects of substances.
if it's traumatic it's traumatic.
i don't mean drama ''queen'' behaviors.

Advice on basic essay writing..
I'm honestly sorry and meaning no disrespect, but I could not take time to read this essay, because it does not have a short *first* paragraph at the beginning of the essay stating in detail the basic premise of the essay.
So many writers these days never learn this crucial basic element of writing an essay or news story.
Especially in these days of a massive flood of information hitting us all from every imaginable direction like blasted water from multiple fire hoses, it is absolutely *vital* that you write a short introductory paragraph to your piece stating the basic premise or claim in enough detail to center the reader on what they are about to read.
If you don't do so, everyone who is pressed for time (which is most of us these days) will simply stop reading because they don't have a core idea to hold onto, to clearly lead them into the rest of the essay.

I'm not writing for lazy people. My audience understands that. I mean no disrespect.
It has nothing to do with 'laziness'. Read some basic style books. The number one rule of essays and reports is to synopsize your position or thesis in a paragraph at the beginning.
This is the foundation of good nonfiction writing, and is absolutely central to the basic logic of making an effective argument.
1) *VERY* short attention-getter
2) Short paragraph as introduction firmly and clearly stating the thesis.
3) Body: Points of facts and logic which support the thesis.
4) Short close restating the thesis and showing how the facts and logic validate it.
5) If it is your intention, a call to action based on the facts and logic supporting the thesis.

Happy travels..
You haven't been concise or persuasive, and you're apparently the sort of person who shows up on an estate in a country where you've never been and immediately starts lecturing the billionaire estate owner on how they should run their affairs, not knowing what those affairs are, and being confused as to how it is that you don't know everyone in this country you picked off a map. But you insist that you're needed to sort things out.
I hope you grow out of it.
Again.. You are Mathew who..?
Get over yourself. I politely suggested improving your essay style and you turned the moment into a defensive dick-measuring contest.
They've had some great discussions on environment vs heredity source of intelligence.
I side with Chanda Chisala and his view.

I'm interested in your thoughts on obesity and trauma. It's also starting to be hard to find people who haven't been put on psych drugs, and they do something to the body or mind which makes a person crave carbs - especially the anti-psychotics.
I recently read a comment where someone attributed personality changes in statin users as "hunter chemistry" trying to save them from this strange chemical onslaught. I wonder how traumatizing these psych drugs are and if something similar is going on.
