Sex Work, Erotic Capital, and ERE

from "What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Dumber" thread: I’d love to hear more about this in another thread. You’ve alluded to these ladies before but I had no idea they were professors’ daughters. :D. I recall reading an article by a Silicon Valley C-suite escort. She described “deconstructi...

Re: What doesn't kill you might make you dumber?

Ugh. Reminds me of stories of the Weathermen. Kind of a legend around my undergrad university. Too smart for their own good. :o Yes, my uncle was at U of M in the 60s and was to some extent involved with one of these groups. Which is kind of interesting, because my grandfather was also the represen...

Re: What doesn't kill you might make you dumber?

Or perhaps creating an environment with features that attract high IQ, without the constant negative feedback for high IQ my culture generates, would be appropriate. Match the environment to the "problem", rather than trying to solve the "problem" for the default environment. Ye...

Re: What doesn't kill you might make you dumber?

@chenda: Another SDS faction became known as the Revolutionary Youth Movement (RYM). RYM took its inspiration from a 1965 Bob Dylan song, “Subterranean Homesick Blues,” which had an enigmatic line: “You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.” The SDS-RYM faction embraced the name ...

Re: What doesn't kill you might make you dumber?

I’m afraid a tiny input is responsible for most of the output. Perhaps the vast majority of the people have little impact. +/-10 IQ so what? It may not be applied where it counts towards the output. Wealth inequality is an output that gives us glimpses into our system’s actual wiring. Also the fact...

Re: What doesn't kill you might make you dumber?

The difference in how much each team will struggle learning new material is obvious to anyone who has ever been part of this. Very true. Another example would be how just the 4 point (130 vs 126) IQ difference between a Mathematical Sciences major like me and the many Mechanical Engineering majors ...

Re: bostonimproper's journal

The conversation that you are having with yourself about money and your family is almost the same conversation I recently had with another tutor (who is definitely a serious core helper/leader type) about math/reading skills and our students. As Hristo's follow-up makes evident, there's no necessary...

Re: 4th, 5th, 6th Person Perspective

Re: Advanced Retroadaptics Podcast

There are two solutions. The third solution would be to take off the other three legs. ;) The funny thing is that I was actually thinking about sex, more than money or water on a permaculture project, in terms of "solved problems", because the fact that there is a shortage of young women ...

Re: What doesn't kill you might make you dumber?

There is the 'grad level' definition that points to a more granular/specific/exhaustive analysis than required in undergrad. Maybe this is Master's level thinking. AI might be really helpful with that. But 'grad level' can also be though of as a creative synthesis that builds upon and approaches th...

Re: Advanced Retroadaptics Podcast

Whereas the zones in permaculture is trying to prescriptively build up a sensible daily / weekly / monthly / annual to do list (micro). Interesting. This is almost exactly like a note I recently made to myself while re-booting GTD (Getting Things Done.) @Axel@J&G: Great podcast. Some thoughts/n...

Re: Is dissatisfaction necessary to change?

There’s also boredom and curiosity to consider. Humans are more or less innately programmed to sometimes seek out change for the sake of change. We’re explorers of our environments and also out-breeders. Only the Hobbit within us is likely to be satisfied with just the “cottage” portion of Adventure...

Re: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta

How does our specific time and place encourage heterotelic goals as opposed to other times and places? By accelerating everything. Overly simplistic model might have average American sending 25 of his "energy slaves" off on one task which is heterotelic to the task on which he simultaneou...

Re: What doesn't kill you might make you dumber?

I think "brain fog" vs. high IQ is a bit of a false dichotomy. Maybe you Te types are sharp through and through, but when a Ti type is deeply engaged in thinking, she is also most likely to walk into traffic or eat 6 cookies absent clear intention. :lol: Also, it's important to realize tha...

Re: guitar player's journal

I kind of like PowerBi. It's like the big box Playdough Fun Factory. I wouldn't want to make a 30 year career out of it, but it might be a good skill/tool with which to rent oneself out on smaller contracts.

Re: ERE City (US)

@jean:

I lived in Houghton for 2 years. It is quite cold, very snowy, very isolated, and full of young male engineering students. I would suggest Alpena, MI as similar in terms of access to natural beauty, but more generally appealing.

Re: Female role in series "Happy FIRE Relationship & Bicycle tour around the World"

What a good idea. I think it would be great if more humans offered clear (and interesting/appealing) relationship contract as opposed to nebulous default to conventional. If I was 30 years younger, and more sporty than bookish... ;)
