Genetic Jigsaw Metaphor

 A lot of human genes work like puzzle pieces. Imagine a four-piece puzzle. If you have all four pieces, they work together. If you have a different set of four pieces, they also work together. If you mix and match, they won't instantly kill you, but it won't work. If you get a mutation in any of the four pieces, it breaks the whole system, which explains the high level of runts in caino masochiens.

 E.g. cold tolerance and low-light tolerance can be inherited separately, but cold tolerance and bright-light tolerance can't be used simultaneously, nor can heat and dark tolerance.
 E.g. high confidence and high ability can be inherited separately.
 E.g. orientals work well on high carb (particularly rice) diets, whereas european pastoralists need lots of red meat and milk. What if you inherit the need for both, due to miscegenation? You have the need for idiosyncratic microvitamins from both sets...but good luck, your stomach physically isn't big enough to satisfy both appetites.

 In particular, caino masochiens jumps to conclusions in a way that would be perfectly healthy with IQs around 160. All the untrained intellectual reflexes work well, assuming the 0.01% used to be the 50%, under which conditions they evolved.

 A bastard is a bastard because he has the ambition of a duke with the abilities of a swineherd. (william of orange.) Ultra cringe. A fop is a man with the attitude of a dockworker and the abilities of a kaiser. "I want to bang a prostitute, like me mam." Gee whiz, he can really afford a lot of prostitutes. Good, uh, work. I guess.

 Aristocrats have to be careful about breeding with other aristocrats, never mind the lower classes.
 E.g. the genes of a purebred horse archer don't go well with a purebred scholar. You can't throw a harness on the wisdom of the ages. The scrolls and codecies don't need brushing. What if you need fresh air and deep reading at the same time, in a windy region? Hwoops.

 By (low) chance, children of peasants can reassemble a noble genome from fragmentary inclusions. However, the child will carry lots of recessive peasant genes, so the grandchilren will see rapid downward mobility. If they marry another peasant (bill gates) it will guarantee mediocre scions. If they marry a noble (no known examples) it will pollute the noble's house.

 There is a division between jumbled-up aristocrats and purebred peasantry. Since both are basically incompetent, I wonder how distinguishable they are in practice. Probably can't eyeball it.

 Maybe the shuffled aristos are crazier? More bastardy, in contrast to content, humble peasants? You don't hear much from peasants who vibe well with the peasant life, because they aren't literate. Don't show up in books or on twitter. When you push them, they don't push back, they congenially move. 30% of american adults don't even |have| facebook. How many use facebook only to say happy birthday and wow that's a nice picture?

 P.S. Fun fact: a facebook subscription costs $70 a year. If it's not worth significantly more than $70 to you, it's a net loss to society. Dead weight.

    This seems like much bigger problem to me than physical violence

    1. I don't make much of a distinction. Treachery is treachery.
      Currently physical violence is mildly less treacherous due to scholar norms. Ad baculum is a fallacy, so nobody runs around pretending you can beat someone compassionately. Physical violence is openly violence, making it more responsible and less Satanic.

      However, overall, this topic an example of the fact mortal life is worthless. The only reason it is wrong to kill one out your way is that they deserve to suffer and they can't suffer properly if they're dead. They aren't people. They don't have dignity or purpose or anything. They are hazards. Like patches of stagnant water. Elections can't drain the swamp because the swamp extends from sea to shining sea. There's nowhere for it to go.

      Rain is a problem too but you carry an umbrella. You don't try to make friends with the rain so that you can attempt to convince it not to be wet. Rain isn't maliciously sabotaging its society for the purposes of unprovoked aggression, and even if it were that would reveal its preferences. You likewise don't try to make friends with orcs and try to convince them not to have green skin, or file down their tusks so they can [fit in].
      I have witnessed someone trying to proselytize against bones. Sure it wasn't supposed to be a short-term solution, but they genuinely saw a skeleton as a sign of a sinner.

      Do the umbrella thing.

      As IQs decline, the soycial roles flatten. Have to merge into fewer templates. Not to mention technological soyciety is a terrible cognitive burden. In the end, everyone has to be trained to act like a cookie-cutter robot because normies redline and explode when faced by any variation.

Failcomment system seems to have been fixed. Working for me, at least.

Captchas should be off. If it gives you one anyway, it's against my explicit instructions.
