Women, like men, children old people etc are all programmable monkeys.
White women are especially programmable. They'll believe almost anything that society tells them to believe.
It turns out that organized societies that didn't die all ended up programming women with a TON of oppressive stuff. Guilt, shame, need for modesty, etc.
Why did women end up with an unusually high amount of anti-freedom programming?
You have to understand this before you can understand feminism.
Feminists will say it's because men were evil, stronger physically or just ignorant in the past.
But this is all wrong and dumb. You don't get universal convergent social evolution in geographically separate places because people are ignorant. You get it because it's a functional adaptation.
But why? Why can't women just be free to do as they please instead of patriarchy?
One interesting answer is Sarah Constantin's "Hoe vs Plough Culture" post.
Basically, there's an interaction between civilizational density/advancement and gender roles:
A lot of people have trouble viscerally understanding what a "collective action problem" is, especially one that gets worse with scale. You read the words, but you don't understand how people get trapped.
Modern dating apps are a good example.
Let's make some assumptions.
Assume that all men who are using dating apps who have multiple women available want to have casual sex, but will settle once they only have one woman.
Assume that all women want a relationship, but they want the BEST guy they can get.
Now, what's the best solution for women?
Well, as a group, the best solution is for them to all line up from the worst to the best, line the men up from worst to best and just pair off.
There are some non-ordered preferences too (blonde vs redhead) but let's keep it simple.
So if you wanted to make one I guess you could use a custom browser shortcut?
OK, I got an urbit "App" working for windows.
Make a shortcut to a non-default browser and add the URL of your Third Earth ship after the app target with a space. Make a nice .ico file. Et voilà, urbit app.
It seems to me that in order to take a set of values and preserve it, you need to be able to model social game theory.
This is the weakness of the American Civic Religion. It's unable to predict which memes truly threaten it.
Most people in most places just wanted to grill, i.e. have values which can be satisfied without harming others.
But "Everyone just grill and we'll have some bureaucrats to oversee the roads/water/etc" isn't a *stable* arrangement.
Why not?
Because we're programmable monkeys. The world where everyone chills and grills has an unfilled slot for an aggressive, totalizing memeplex to grow. It's very hard to make it so that one can't exist.
> "We should create a special economic zone with open borders but you must be eligible for criminal liability insurance"
Yes David, we already have that, they're called ethnostates - being part of an ethnicity with a low genetic predisposition to crime is actually better !
America pre- Hart-Celler, Canada, Austria, New Zealand all had the same idea: open borders, but only for white people. And it worked really well.
Why?
Because ethnicity/race is a "good enough" insurance policy against large negative externalities
It's also much more robust than a paper based bureaucracy where anyone is allowed in if they can get insurance; the latter can fail for a whole host of reasons, but ethnicity is a fixed, immutable characteristic with "good enough" guarantees.
Interesting but flawed analysis here: imagine two men who find "Pickup" discourse in 2010. Mickey is lazy, dumb and ugly. Samworth is smart, not bad looking and hard working.
Mickey tries pickup but it doesn't work. He scares girls and weirds them out.
"Pickup people are slaves to women, they think about them 24/7", he copes.
Samworth is successful at pickup and gets a girlfriend. Later they get married. He remembers pickup as a real turning point in his life, but he doesn't need it any more because he has a wife.
By 2020, Samworth and other like him have been completely removed from the pickup community. As a result, it dies.
Mickey is still online all the time though. He doesn't have a wife and is actually still a virgin. He runs an incel community discord now, and the community is ...
