People are shocked about Riley Reid not because she’s married—pornstars often do get married (and quite often to other pornstars)—but because people *want* her to suffer for her “immorality”

Homosexuality has a low heritability (22% as per one twin registry study). There is low twin concordance when one twin is gay (<25% of the time). It's unlikely to be primarily genetic in origin. The most likely explanation for (male) homosexuality remains a pathogen.

Actually no Aella, Northwestern Europeans (and likely East Asians) went through centuries of Clarkian selection, where the wealthiest farmers had the most surviving offspring. The “bad boys” killed each other off or were killed by the state. Female preference is complex

A "majority" in the UK identify as "neurodivergent". My friends, if it's a majority, it isn't "neurodivergent". It's neurotypical.

Not quite. Large swaths of the world are low trust and low crime (e.g., Southern Europe, China). WEIRD high trust is something else beyond simply low criminality

Part of the outrage by Iryna Zaruska’s murder was driven by this: what the Joker says in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘒𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 has some truth to it: “In their last moments, people show you who they really are.” Iryna showed the world she was a good person who didn’t deserve her fate

The WEIRDness thread. Aiming to consolidate my threads on WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) people in one place. Northwestern Europeans, from inside the Hajnal line, are unique in the world and are the people behind the modern world as we know it

Repeat after me: •Clannishness can not be reduced to low IQ •Clannishness can not be attributed to the legacy of communism WEIRDness (vs clannishness) is its own set of traits, *heritable* just like IQ, that set NW Europeans and offshoots apart from everyone else in the world.

Unfortunately there is a considerably elevated schizophrenia rate among blacks. Just as whites are cursed with autism (and anxiety/depression), blacks are cursed with schizophrenia

It's time for a lesson on WEIRDness and what makes you wonderful WEIRDs the builders–and for a time–the masters of the modern world: things like this. Weak kinship ties (by global standards)–the absence of amoral familism. A father turning in his own son to be likely executed is an anathema to most of the other people across the globe.

The effect of PARENTING is MINIMAL to NONEXISTENT for adult behavioral traits and outcomes. Kids don’t turn out the way they do because of how they are raised. What they become is largely genetically directed.

Yes, everyone in the world engages in nepotism and in-group (usually very in-group) favoritism except WEIRD white people. You WEIRDs are weird in that you are the oddballs

Follow up: the man (John Dough) hung himself in 2006, nine years after making this, at the age of 43.

I don’t think people understand the nature of status and status-seeking. When people hear the term, they think luxury mansions or Instagram influencers. No, brother. Status-seeking is as automatic as taking in oxygen. Everyone does it all the time. We all seek regard and approval from those around us on *some* dimension or another. Hell, you’re doing it right now posting on X. The reason for this graph is the quest for status

WEIRD whites are actually some of the *least* racist people on the planet. As the WEIRD world gets less WEIRD, it’s going to get a hell of a lot more racist. As I mentioned in my podcast, a lot of the discourse you see here you’d like to attribute to white right-wingers actually comes from non-WEIRD world. Ironically enough, racism is diversifying.

You get far more traction online by posting things people will disagree with. Especially things they’ll disagree with because they fear that these things are actually correct. If it was obviously wrong (e.g. the sky is brown), no one would care. In that spirit, let me have a…
