I would recommend roger scruton's 'why beauty matters' if you haven't seen it. Essentially the same topic.
I got it for $0.50 at a thrift store. Would it be worth giving it a quick read?
Oh I was talking about the documentary
Oh, ok
I’ve actually had people recommend that book to me, and I’m only just realizing I’ve seen the documentary for it on YouTube. It’s worth a watch.
^ whoops that can’t be right. The book “why beauty matters” is deconstructionist propaganda. In that case, I can’t remember this book recommendation. It’s not “the painted word” by Tom Wolfe, although that’s another good one if people like the decline and fall.
Tom Wolfe’s The Painted Word. Nothing you guys don’t know here, he just breaks down one way so few can guide so many.
From "African Population Projections: 1850-1960" by Patrick Manning
A few decades after their arrival, endogamous Sogdian merchants were already receiving privileges from the Chinese government and replacing Chinese culture with their own.
@Evan thanks for the two recommendations, I'm ordering on Amazon later today
You got it Mikolas. They’re good reads.

Also this is a good, generally bigger brained podcast that touches on some interesting topics—sponsored by Arktos
Damn we are way higher 25-45 years of age, males that is. I wouldn’t have thought it would be that long
25 makes sense, but not really 45. Thats interesting
Book is The Social Leap by William Von Hippel
He's a liberal but awesome psychologist
His description of young males fails to recognize that men are more likely to risk for glory, die in wars, pursue dangerous careers thus having more "accidents."
Ya it’s definitely multi variable. We do it cause we have a higher reproductive output than women right? Women don’t benefit from a status and risk taking in a reproductive sense than men would
Exactly
"Because chimps are brainier than baboons, they take longer to reach adulthood, and their slower maturation rate means they demand more maternal care. As a consequence, chimps have an older age of initial reproduction and lower rate of reproduction than baboons."
🤔 🤔 🤔
Whatchya thinking about it?
Just interesting?
I'm thinking this theory is applicable to our own species. I find nature's consistency to be satisfying.
I’m fairly certain average gestation period of blacks is shorter than whites
Not finding good resources atm
Ah there ya go
Asians are pretty fascinating. I need to learn more about them and their evolutionary past
Like I’m not super informed but apparently they are in general, and especially the Chinese insanely conformist
