From the Chateau: Forget the free market economy. The sexual market is the one market to rule them all. As if my preening weren’t already supremely ostentatious, here’s a recent SCIENCE! study confirming another Heartiste axiom: every human interaction and transaction is downstream from the existential struggle to find a quality mate, fuck, and procreate.
Fewer romantic prospects may lead to riskier investments
Encountering information suggesting that it may be tough to find a romantic partner shifts people’s decision making toward riskier options, according to new findings from a series of studies published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.
“Environmental cues indicating that one will have a relatively difficult time finding a mate can drive people to concentrate their investment choices into a few high-risk, high-return options,” says psychological scientist Joshua Ackerman of the University of Michigan, lead author on the research. “This is true even when the decisions people are making are not explicitly relevant to romantic outcomes.”
I’ve received some scoffing from spergy types projecting their spergitude onto this ‘umble outpost of love concerning the assertion often made here that the sexual market governs, consciously or subconsciously it doesn’t really matter, the machinations and ultimately the outcomes of the more palpable activity that takes place in the economic market. But here we have a study proving the truth of the CH observation that ripples and undercurrents of sexual compulsion and romantic desperation are the “invisible loin” that guides all human behavior in the secondary market of the economy and its supporting markets (like academia).
“This is exactly opposite from the pattern of investing we would predict if we assumed people were using an economically ‘rational’ decision strategy,” Ackerman explains. “From an evolutionary perspective, if the options are to do whatever it takes to find a romantic partner or risk not finding one, the more rational choice may be to do whatever it takes.”
This is a stone cold truth that no libertardian like Alex Tabbarak or Cheap Chalupas will ever get. Humans aren’t rational actors; they’re rationalizing actors. And what they rationalize are choices, in all spheres of transaction, that directly or indirectly improve their chances of landing that alpha male or that hot babe.
In a second online study, 105 participants read a newspaper article discussing demographic trends in the U.S. They then evaluated stock packages with equivalent values (e.g., 100 shares in 8 companies, 200 shares in 4 companies, etc.) and chose which package they would invest in.
Again, the data showed that both male and female participants who read about unfavorable sex ratios opted for riskier investments, choosing more shares in fewer companies, than those who read about favorable ratios.
In practice, “riskier strategies” for women amounts to what we see today on college campuses, where women outnumber men 60-40. The zeitgeist is a sexual pornucopia for a few alpha men getting the milk for free without buying the cow, and a lot of disappointment and depression among marginally pretty women who thought they could turn that fling into a thing.
The fact that sex ratio had an impact on decisions that were not directly linked with mating success suggests that sexual competition elicits a general mindset geared toward achieving the largest possible reward, regardless of the risk involved.
Polygyny, as is the norm throughout Africa, can induce the same risky investment strategizing from men as can an unfavorable sex skew. When a few men lock up many women, each individual man has an incentive to throw caution to the wind to be one of those few winner men.
As such, the researchers argue, these findings could have implications for decision making in domains as diverse as retirement planning, gambling, and even making consumer purchases.
Executive Summary: The meaning of life is to ….
COMMENTS:
* Even more interesting to compare post-pubescent eunuchs with castratos. Testosterone “therapy” for F2M transgender LARPers changes both the physical structure and effective function of the brain, in the usual stereotypes.
And those changes are irreversible, so a trans-trans-woman is not the same as a cis-woman. She still thinks more like a cis-man. Therefore, a male castrated before puberty could be expected to behave differently than one castrated after, whose surge of testosterone triggered routines that may continue to run after they are no longer capable of achieving their purpose.
Similarly, one hypothesis is that childless women are destroying white nations because their barrenness triggers risk-seeking routines for rape babies, and that this continues after menopause — even though that would be irrational — because there is no way for natural selection to work on the infertile.
* “Gender Ideology Harms Children” (statement from the American College of Pediatricians (“ACP”))
Among other points stated by the ACP:
“3. A person’s belief that he or she is something they are not is, at best, a sign of confused thinking. When an otherwise healthy biological boy believes he is a girl, or an otherwise healthy biological girl believes she is a boy, an objective psychological problem exists that lies in the mind not the body, and it should be treated as such. These children suffer from gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria (GD), formerly listed as Gender Identity Disorder (GID), is a recognized mental disorder in the most recent edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-V).5 The psychodynamic and social learning theories of GD/GID have never been disproved.
4. Puberty is not a disease and puberty-blocking hormones can be dangerous. . . .
5. According to the DSM-V, as many as 98% of gender confused boys and 88% of gender confused girls eventually accept their biological sex after naturally passing through puberty.
6. Children who use puberty blockers to impersonate the opposite sex will require cross-sex hormones in late adolescence. Cross-sex hormones (testosterone and estrogen) are associated with dangerous health risks including but not limited to high blood pressure, blood clots, stroke and cancer.
7. Rates of suicide are twenty times greater among adults who use cross-sex hormones and undergo sex reassignment surgery, even in Sweden which is among the most LGBQT – affirming countries. . . .
8. Conditioning children into believing that a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful is child abuse. Endorsing gender discordance as normal via public education and legal policies will confuse children and parents, leading more children to present to “gender clinics” where they will be given puberty-blocking drugs. This, in turn, virtually ensures that they will “choose” a lifetime of carcinogenic and otherwise toxic cross-sex hormones, and likely consider unnecessary surgical mutilation of their healthy body parts as young adults.”
* Sperg Risk Strategy Exhibit A – Elliot Rodger.
“I knew I was always destined for great things. This must be it! I was destined to be the winner of the highest lottery jackpot in existence. I knew right then and there that this jackpot was meant for me. Who else deserved such a victory? I had been through so much rejection, suffering, and injustice in my life, and this was to be my salvation.
With my whole body filled with feverish hope, I spent $700 dollars on lottery tickets for this drawing. As I spent this money, I imagined all the amazing sex I would have with a beautiful model girlfriend I would have once I become a man of wealth.
Without the prospect of becoming wealthy at a young age, I had nothing to live for now. I was going to be a virgin outcast forever. I realized that I had to start planning and preparing for the Day of Retribution, even though I hadn’t yet had any idea of what day that would be.”
* “The meaning of life is to fuck…”
I wonder if there’s some correlation between the innate sense of restraint of northern European stock and restraint in fucking. Children born in the spring would have the best chance of surviving the first few months of life, and of being strong enough to survive to following winter. This would mean the the ideal time of year to fuck would be early summer. The flip side is that couples that favored fucking in early summer would be more likely to pass on their genes.
Contrast this with r-selected type people from equatorial regions where children have an equal chance of surviving year round, and frivolous fucking is the norm.
Just wondering…
* You know you can really have that truth shoved in your face by doing a simple experiment. Observe the people at your local “upscale” grocery store one day, then visit a run-down discount grocery store on the next. In my experience you’ll see an average attractiveness difference of like 3-4 points on a 10 scale.
* Yup. I used to live in Beverly Hills and the ladies there were gorgeous. Would dress well, showing God-given cleavage at times in lovely sundresses.
Moved 5 miles south. Eesh
And this was before the proliferation of yoga pants, aside from actually doing yoga.
Now I’ve got the United Nations supermarket in my ghetto area and you’ll see one hot Latina or Armenian girl dolled up out the 1000s of fatassery there.
I was south of Pico Blvd which is ’nuff said.
Surprising how shit can deteriorate in such close proximity.
For those not in CA, do a google maps “drive” on Sunset Blvd from east to west and be amazed at the transition.
* “I saw a nature show about lions once. The alpha male had control of all the females, and if he caught a beta lion trying to get it on with one of his females, the alpha would give the beta a thrashing. But the betas still have needs, ya know? So the betas would slink around in the shadows, watch the alpha, hang out on the periphery and maybe skip a hunt to be alone with the pride. Then, when the alpha was not around and would not catch them, they would jump in and grab a quick one from one of the females.“
“Cruz’s efforts to get delegates reminds me of that. He slinks around on the periphery, not trying to get them by overtaking Trump directly and becoming an alpha. No, he’s still a beta, but he’s trying to get what he wants the sneaky way, the beta way. The Cruz way.”
* 25% of women in the US are on anti depressants. They are all on them at my work and very open about it. My neighbor told me her gorgeous 16 year old had a breakdown and her and her five friends are all in therapy for self harm. WTF is going on?
* Four Reasons:
-Women are being told to act in a way that is completely the opposite of how they want to behave.
-Women love attention, and self-harm gets them that (drama queen teens).
-Shrinks describe any behavior that is normal as “depressive” in need of “medication and therapy.” Because the science is a joke and their pockets need a lining.
-Lack of strong men around (neutered by society) to give them a rock to lean on.
* At least 30% have what is now called histrionic personality disorder. Research the history and meaning of the words “hysteria” and “hysterical.” Any man who has known at least 4 women has experienced it.
They do not belong in the office environment other than as secretaries and typists in the former sense of those professions. (They do not belong in an office under the current Jew-feminist brainwashing idea that they are equal and should be the senior partner in the corner office. They know this in their hearts, hence the internal conflict.)
It is obvious that women should not vote or dominate the national discussion on talk news shows. All civilizations for 12,000 years have known this.
“Histrionic personality disorder is characterized by a long-standing pattern of attention seeking behavior and extreme emotionality. Someone with histrionic personality disorder wants to be the center of attention in any group of people, and feel uncomfortable when they are not. While often lively, interesting and sometimes dramatic, they have difficulty when people aren’t focused exclusively on them. People with this disorder may be perceived as being shallow, and may engage in sexually seductive or provocative behavior to draw attention to themselves.”
In other words, attention whores.
The new DSM is getting rid of “Personality Disorders” because they’re too d@mned descriptive of the reality of the situation [i.e. too politically incorrect; shine too much light on Eskimo perfidy, etc], and because the insurance companies refuse to pay for PDs. Fortunately, at least for the time being, Wikipedia still has some good overviews: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_B
Any female co-worker given responsibility suffers anxiety because of it. They just cannot lead or handle any responsibility.
They hate deadlines. They cannot deal with that either and this field is interior design so a female type of job.
A poster on another thread said it well…they live in a world man has created…working in buildings man has created. Women cannot handle cars either. Any bad choices I see on the road I always look around to see who the driver is and it’s always a woman.
* “The happiest women I know are housewives with good husbands and several children”.
Bingo.
Few on this earth will ever comprehend – let alone match – the abject misery of a 42 year old woman who sacrificed her fertility window for meaningless corporate advancement, only to be tortured for the rest of her life by the laughter of other people’s children.
* You could finish construction of The Wall this afternoon. It would still be 30 years too late.
“Perhaps a President Trump would build a wall to Uranus… or maybe he wouldn’t. Though such speculation isn’t what’s most relevant. The foreign majority is now born domestically each day, and the annual population equivalent of Montana supplements white Americans legally. At some point a huge border wall just becomes a monument. You don’t lock doors inside your own house. And you won’t maintain a fence to keep Mexicans out of northern Mexico. Once pressure equalizes, no one needs an airtight seal.
But all of that is far beyond the reckoning of most conservatives, who still consider 90% of the Earth’s exploding population as “minorities.” The notion that their national inheritance was stolen while they drooled at football games only seems to emerge in brief moments of lucidity.”
* Walking to work one morning, you see a woman making eyes at you from inside her front door of her house. It’s slightly open and you see she’s showing skin.
You have a choice:
1) Keep walking to work, arrive on time, get paid, buy food, eat well tonight.
2) Go inside, fuck the woman, arrive late for work, lose job, don’t eat, starve for the next two months.
If it came down to such a stark choice — if you could know all of these consequences — which do you choose?
According to Maslow, you choose #1. The basic needs of food, water, rest, and warmth are first-tier needs. He placed “intimate relationships” on the third tier.
* Why don’t you include your fantasy option:
#3 — feral dindu breaks-and-enters the house, rapes you, takes a nap, wakes up, calls his boy D’arflavius on his Obama-phone, goes down to the liquor store to buy a forty, then picks up some ice cream and potato chips with his EBT card and goes home to watch his flatscreen TV in his free govt-supplied apartment waiting his baby momma to bring by some money from the child-welfare checks to buy some crack with.
