THE NEW ILIAD. Written by a modern man.
The new Iliad begins with Helen and Paris' old, familiar elopement to Troy. New twists, however, soon become apparent. Her husband Menelaus will not wage war on the Trojans to recover his honor and his wife. Not at all. Image
Rather, he is *browbeaten* to it by his sassy mother Aerope. "Get your ass off the couch and bring her back!"
"Yes mammy, very well", but how to go about it?-- Unaccustomed to the idea of talking to unrelated males(GAY!), the king of Sparta cannot rally the other kings of Greece. Image
Instead he pleads with his aunts to send him his brother and cousins. At length, the whole extended House of Atreus (and only they) arrive before the walls of Troy. They set camp, each sleeping at opposite ends of their tents lest they be thought to be f@gs by the others. Image
After a week of hard fighting, dismay sets in. They're in an unfamiliar place, they feel lonely, the war captive Briseis of the fair cheeks has made the whole third phalanx simp over each other: Morale breaks down. They send a message home to summon their mothers and girlfriends. Image
The family females now stand behind the frontline hectoring and nagging the men to fight harder, HARDER,-YOU-LAZY-ASSES!
After 10 years of this, the Queen of Troy (there is no king) has had enough. She invites Agamemnon to parlay. Image
Queen Polyxena is unbelievably hot. She offers Agamemnon her pussy: "All you have to do is hand over your army to me in an ambush, Agy"
He accepts without a second thought. The Greeks are massacred in a gorge of Mount Ida, and Agamemnon takes his place in Polyxena's royal harem. Image
THUS ENDS THE WAR EPIC OF THE MODERN WESTERN MAN.
Dedicated to you @exterminatorzed 😆😆😆

Short thread on misunderstandings in behavioral genetics. 🧵
Every time you read about a study claiming to link gene X to complex behavior Y, the study is hype. Why? Because they invariably use statistical skullduggery to select X from many hundred genes which co-vary with Y.
Something people don't understand is that *we already know* that ALL behavior has a genetic basis. All behavior is a product of the brain, and the brain is a biological structure that comes about from the interaction of hundreds of genes with each other and with the environment.
Thus anything you can think of has a genetic basis: divorce, homosexuality, being a Star Wars fan. They are all of them patterns of brain activity, and so they are caused by genes (interacting with the environment).Any single gene X accounts for only a small variation in behavior

Everything should be rebuilt. Mussolini started rebuilding the Roman forum, but of course it was never completed.
