I published a decent Daily Readings, also 2000 words in a decent essay today, decided to separate tests for what are, now that I clarified my thinking sufficiently on what must be tested and how, are too different to have in one procedure, have gotten a big chunk of code to work on the simpler version, finished getting the dust blown out of an old computer and setting it up, gave it to a neighbor girl, promised to tutor her in Python, got the flan and cheesecake for tomorrow’s family reunion my Mexican neighbor has invited me to, watered the garden, replenished bird-seed supply and got grass seed to fix the miserable lawn, went to Harbour Freight for a leather punch to make a belt fit, bought some envelopes for shipping some items to my sister and a friend. Probably some things I am forgetting. It has a been a busy day.
I need to do work, so it is short today. I did a lot of comments on ZH again, an explanation of the paucity of words and thoughts here.
The World Wide Greater Depression is closer every day :

Brilliant John Greer describes another part of the social-cultural-political realignment that is happening. This is indeed the edge of the era when the hobnailed boots tramp up the stairs, and an explanation of the obvious Satanic cults among our most elites, and the milder versions of NXIVM, among many others.
The only thing I envy is brain power. Greer is in an class I can only appreciate, never achieve :
I wrote comments again, quite a wide variety of topics :

“Is this necessary?”, was the first comment. By the time I got this posted in reply, there were at least 100 comments. Lamentably poor biology, most of them.
Not at all the right question.
In original concept, and certainly modern institutions are a degenerate form, universities were a place for intellectual exploration. I just happened to read this essay by Paul Graham last night that illustrates that :

It is short, I will wait.
Newton was pursuing 3 interests. Only one worked out. Newton nor anyone else could know in advance which of those interests would be long-term useful.
Now, go read this :

Combine that with “Sex At Dawn”‘s thinking about the sexual behavior of humans in hunter-gatherer bands, the reality of partible paternity, the advantages of polyploidy, the wider range of talents we know that aberrant sexualities seem to have, and how our most outstanding males and females may be a manifestation of macrochimerism. Mix with the thinking proposed by the course.
Necessary? Who can know?
Recall that we are all, relative to what there is known, equally ignorant out to about 20 places to the right of the decimal point. (I did that calculation, it isn’t conjured from thin air.)
With the proper level of intellectual humility firmly in mind, what are good questions?
Also, in reply to a comment that gays don’t produce offspring :
And mine would be, is producing heirs the only way you can contribute to the success of your gene line? After all, a LGBT likely has siblings, and in any case will share the genes of their aunts and uncles.
Multi-level evolution, cultural and genetic, happens, you know?
The level of biological and evolutionary knowledge displayed in most of the posts today is abysmal.
