"people with dark personalities are more likely to broadcast or feign victimhood, perhaps to gain sympathy and other rewards, while also getting others to excuse their transgressions. Does Tony view himself as a victim? He does." unherd.com/2021/06/tony-s…
Zodiac's comment somewhere in the back of my mind as I wrote this

Some pieces of advice Machiavelli offers to rulers:

•Punishment should be delivered in a swift and brutal manner, while rewards should be dispersed in small amounts over time

🧵 1/
•Religion must be promoted regardless of how truthful it is, because it supplies social solidarity

2/
•When you confer benefits to the people, make sure to do so yourself. But let minions do the dirty work of inflicting punishments because then they, not you, will be blamed, and you can then gain the people’s favor by cutting off your minions’ heads

Fertility among college-educated women hasn't changed much since a generation ago. Fertility collapse is among poor women. In 1994, the average age of a first-time mother without a university degree was 20. Today, two-thirds of women without degrees in their 20s have no children. Image
A generation ago, a poor woman would have children with a man in the hope that this would lead to marriage and family. This seldom happened. Those children witnessed this failure, absorbed its lessons, grew up, and now are simply not having kids.

Wrong. They're expensive. Takes yrs to cultivate an understanding of them; to keep up with them, to express them without error. Helps to be immersed in affluence from birth. This is why Bourdieu, Fussell, Fitzgerald etc wrote real mobility is something of a myth.
Saying defund the police in 2024 is like wearing Canada Goose in 2019. You reveal yourself as behind the fashion; a wannabe; an arriviste. Cringe. etc. Gotta be close to the source of the trends (typically elite institutions). Requires money, connections, cultural capital etc.
Luxury beliefs are expensive for the believer to acquire (money, connections, education, habitus, cultural capital, etc.) and costless to express.

3 interesting findings:

1. On Tinder, women in their twenties are roughly twice as likely to swipe right (“like”) for the same man if he has a master's degree compared with a bachelor's degree.
2. Sociometric status (respect and admiration from peers) is a stronger predictor of happiness than socioeconomic status. This finding held up after controlling for gender, ethnicity, and extraversion.
3. From Thomas Sowell’s book Vision of the Anointed: “The family is inherently an obstacle to schemes for central control...Engels’ first draft of the Communist Manifesto included a deliberate undermining of family...Marx was astute enough to leave that out of the final version."

3 interesting findings:

1. In contentious disputes with another person, a man is nearly twice as likely to apologize if his adversary is a woman and 3X more likely to physically attack if his adversary is a man.
2. Despite being only 1.2 percent of the population, psychopaths commit 30 to 40 percent of all violent crimes.
3. When two women are engaged in conversation, they usually face each other. But when two men are engaged in friendly conversation, they almost always stand at an angle of about 120 degrees, so that they are nearly standing side-by-side. This is because typically the only time men stare straight at each other is when they are about to engage verbal or physical conflict.
