#StruggleSessions happened in the 1950s in china, if not earlier. sort of practice runs for the cultural revolution. from Violence in China (books.google.com/books?id=ShGfc…): "It was difficult or downright impossible, many Chinese would argue, to remain silent during this campaign. To remain silent was to risk being attacked oneself. At best, people attacked to avoid being attacked." books.google.com/books?id=ShGfc… #StruggleSessions

thread of threads/tweets of mine from 2019 i'd like to highlight. (^_^)

remember: evolution can be recent, rapid, local, and is ongoing. the forces of evolution are: mutation, selection, (gene) migration, and genetic drift. also, pop viscosity matters. 1/n here's last year's thread, btw. 2/n

the fertility decline in modern europe began in france in ca. the 1830s and then spread to other nations *before* things like higher population density and higher urbanization existed and quite separately from the industrial revolution. nber.org/papers/w25957 h/t @Sam_Schulman!

three features of common-field systems:
1) the open fields
2) practice of common pasture on the stubble and fallow
3) regulation of cropping, grazing, other farm management *by an assembly of cultivators.*

i think the last may be very important. #EverySocietySelectsForSomething where communal field systems were found [hoffman, pg. 27]:

thread of threads of mine from 2018 i'd like to highlight. (^_^)

keep in mind usual: evolution can be recent, rapid, local, is def ongoing. the forces of evolution are: mutation, selection, (gene) migration, and genetic drift. the viscosity of pops matters wrt kin selection. 1/n core europe. where bipartite manorialism/communal field systems were present during middle ages. significance: along w/small families+low cuz marriage rates, produced pops w/very low viscosity. individuals interacted with/married non-kin more than kin. 2/n

here you go, peeps: Left-wing authoritarianism is not a myth, but a worrisome reality. Evidence from 13 Eastern European countries sciencedirect.com/science/articl… this study found that left-wing authoritarian preferences were strongest in: bulgaria, belarus, russia, romania, and ukraine. less strong, or not at all present, in: hungary, slovenia, slovakia, poland, the baltic states. Further Research Required™ ofc.

somebody's been reading @Steve_Sailer. and then deciding not to cite him. srsly, what is wrong with the @Harvard human evolutionary biology group? @tylercowen

from The Catholic Church, Kin Networks and Institutional Development (drive.google.com/file/d/1zP-HTv…): ...this is *exactly* what @Steve_Sailer said back in 2003 in "Cousin Marriage Conundrum" (theamericanconservative.com/articles/cousi…) which was then later pub'd in The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2004 (books.google.com/books?id=YjOkn…), a volume edited by @sapinker.

the main feature of bipartite manorialism in medieval europe was the dual, conjoined arrangement of the central manor farm (the demesne) along with the attached individual farms of the tenants, with the tenants owing labor on the demesne (later rent)... ...tenants were independently responsible for the success of their own farms, i.e. w/the production of foodstuffs for themselves (to be self-sufficient iow) as well as for producing a certain amount of foods and products for the manor (agricultural, but also things like cloth)...

the ningxia region population is comprised of 34% hui muslims (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ningxia#D…).

i'm left wondering if the two districts, rice (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qingtongx…) and wheat (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuanzhou_…), have the same proportions of hui and han chinese.

from the supplements (journals.sagepub.com/doi/suppl/10.1…). (see also thread below.)

the significance of the migrations during the *high* middle ages in europe in terms of numbers of migrants and long-term effects overlooked by most. from The Making of Europe: Conquest, Colonization and Cultural Change 950-1350 (books.google.com/books?id=9R0fm…): the general pattern was expansion outta nw "core" europe regions to more peripheral areas. (also northern spain southwards.)
