Do we have those?
Faulk is theorizing gene-culture co-evolution. To validate that hypothesis we must consider meotic drive in that context. The case of lactase persistence is a very high drive over a very short period. Faulk's hypothesis meets **neither** of those standards.
Comparing a single food source to the entire economy? And you're saying that a single food source should win out as the more exceptional selective pressure?
Because that's what Faulk is arguing. That the economic pressures selected for people who were, shockingly, more effective at navigating market systems for their benefit. So, traits like delayed gratification, long term planning, and anticipating the demands of others, would be very useful, and the subset of the population who exhibited those traits would stand to benefit more significantly from virtually every industry involved in that market.
Even assuming that over this period of time, all that happened is that the distribution of traits moved from an aggregate which just barely couldn't sustain a decentral market economy, to one which just barely could, this would have a tremendous impact.
Furthermore taking into account the active role the church often played in condemning and discouraging certain activities.
Hell, even the aggressive policing against consanguinity among commoners certainly played a role.
There's also the factor of manorialism, and how the lords would administrate their peasants and serfs, favoring certain characteristics, and hard work. And this would be done for generations.

They're not even making the black Genocide subtle any more
@Jym I couldn't find the term "meotic", did you mean "meiotic"? I'm not being a smartass, just curious 😄
I’m still waiting for the day when the real alt right starts endorsing the democrats
For once they’d actually serve a use
We need Richard Spencer to get airtime on cnn and totally support them
There's legit a segment from Morrakiu, the dude who does "The Merchant Minute" where he argues, ironically, for supporting certain Liberal policies, because they result in conclusions that benefit the alt-right. It's called "agreeing with Liberals for all the wrong reasons"
It's not really a sincere argument most of the time, but rather an illustration of how much liberal policies actually fuck over liberal constituents more than if the far right won.
the left will never really be convinced by this argument, not only because it comes from evil right wingers, but because their definition of victory is pretty much just defined by how miserable they can make those they don't like, while extracting gibs from them
even if it makes them miserable, also
was trying to find the song he did
but ended up finding this
here's an example of the segment
This is probably one of the examples a more sincere argument
seem to be a lot more sincere arguments than I remember
I think the more ironic joke arguments were in the song he did by the same name
His universal healthcare argument is pretty shitty, because he doesn't account for how much of the expense of the US system is a consequence bearing the cost of much of the world's medical R&D, as well, as the high cost of our medical training compared to many other countries due to the regulatory capture of licensing. Nor does he acknowledge how the difference between the US and Canadian expenses my be a product of the dramatically different demographics. He uses, of all examples for revising the system, Maine, which is very white, and therefore a very bad example of what would likely happen. He's also naively optimistic of the capacity for governments and cartels to surrender funding they've already secured just because they don't need it anymore.

@ETBrooD
Yeah that would be a typo it was like past 1 in the morning when we had that chat and whenever you start using technical terms half of them get red underlines. Really cool that you're interested in the subject. I just really think people should study the subject directly rather than through YouTubers and random PubMed articles. If you're not into books I mentioned Sopalsky's intro the whole course is available free online from Stanford. Or for psych course that includes biological factors Bloom's is available from Yale.
@Miniature Menace
Fred Reed wrote a satire in the same vein. The overall thesis was that social welfare programs were a plot by the KKK to cripple black communities.
I'm a pleb on these subjects, but I find them fascinating yeah
thx for the recommendation
What are people's thoughts on this? The comments on it are just salty MGTOW ppl from what I can tell
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LoqjY8V9JIo
Doesn't seem that controversial to me.
Agreed. I thought the video was great and I too noticed that the commenters were mostly MGTOWs.
Why do people judge a video by the comment and not by the content of the video itself? It is just guilt by association.
