More thoughts on influencing your kids mating choices. Let's talk about Alphas. Studies of wolves in capitvity gave rise to many false ideas about Alphas which if understood are still helpful. In captivity wolves without family units organize dominance according to strength alone. However in the wild wolves organize along family lines. In the wild Alphas are patriarchs. They are fathers. This is important so I'll say it again . Alpha = Dad.
If a woman has to choose a mate outside her pack then she is basically in capitvity mode. School is this condition. The only organizing principle is raw intimidation.
However if you bring men into your circle now there's the potential of marrying within the pack. In this case you are the Alpha, de facto. What you establish as good is good. This means you can nominate betas (actual betas not meme betas) who become naturally attractive to eligible women in your pack.
I guess Pence could tie-break...
But right now yeah if they don't show up it's not going forward.
"Remarks from senators soon on possible agreement" is the update I still see.
In medieval era this system was known as apprenticeship and marriage between apprentice and masters daughters was very common.
Young men have to leave the pack. This is the way of nature. So it's up to us to make sure they have somewhere to go instead of forcing feral gangs of omegas
Most so called meme alphas are in fact omegas . Omegas practice opportunistic mating startegies because they cannot hold territory.
I hope this clarifies human instincts and soci hierarchy
@Perihelion - CA Please expand on what you mean by "young men must leave the pack"
memeing mating strategies is a meme.
I think it's fascinating but I don't have anything of value to add. Thanks though.
@Perihelion - CA you should write a parenting book
Must is a strong word but what I mean it's it's easier for men to join a new pack than women
And the pattern is for young males to venture out
That's true regarding venturing out, for sure.
True but I wonder how much of that in the American experience was prompted by the Frontier, and then later, atomized suburbia..
Former is lost, latter toxic
RBG is literally on her death bed yet gets more done than Trump
Senate vote is 47-47 right now
Jeff Flake actually voted "aye"
Wait, this is just for Gov funding through Feb 8th?
Yeah.
Pence broke the tie for the affirmative
this isn't for the wall funding though, right?
Defense appropriation act attached/with it.
Border security included.
Did the wall just get funded????
I don't think so.
They need 60 votes to pass the whole thing.
So there's more negotiation to come.
That's what McConnell is saying right now.
So the good news is that it didn't fail
Pretty much.
It survives another round
Right.
Don't let your bros fall for the Yellow Fever meme. They'll end up like McConnell
Imagine hating Trump so bad that you refuse to help stop human trafficking and drug smuggling
