How do youvarrive at matruarchal while most male mammals display hormonal harem bloat? If nature blows you up into body building brute once you have a family, does that not indicate a clear pyramid of force and a violence monopoly?

PS: prediction power and testable.. could be science where it not for utopist airsuperiority


Males looking like body builders is not something observed in any non western nom modern culture.

Tribes tend to have thin men. They dont have big bulky muscles. Agricultural subsistence cultures tend to have thin men.

They can be violent all the same. Just that bulky look is modern male aesthetic.


These where clan militias fighting for a headstanrt in the proxxy civil war to come. There is no iraq. Its a iranian proxxy with a sunni province and a basically split of kurdish region. That "nation" never existed except in western maps and heads. Those "freedom fighters" where the basis for isis and the iranian militias. None where patriots, just in it for the family wearing the state as skinsuit. They thoroughly disproved all neoliberal cultural ideals about universal nneeds and wants.

If we follow your logic, then I'd argue that similarly, there's no countries in the world. In particular, there's no United States, it's land colonized by Europeans who came to that land and slaughtered its indigenous people and claimed it for themselves.

The western culture forms meta families. We ostracize the sexual others like everyone else, but they form a nation wide "meta" family that connects everyone to everyone, allowing for the traditional clan family to flap open and dissappear with only nuclear families remaining. Oh and they form a ruling caste with working institutions. Western societies are one huge artifical clan.

Now of cocourse there are bots circling watching for insider trades. Which you can "milk" by pretending to insider trade and then hedging a bet against them. A whole eco system of scoundrels

You don't get it, you can make m o n e y with it, with which you can buy a yacht and an expensive car.

and then spoofing. Creating fake trades to entice copycats.

Can this dust reach escape velocity with a meteor impact? Could a iss be floating in the equivalent of dpace Sahara dust?

Yes, but Space is Big. The density of dust of any description (lunar or other, including residual solar system dust, comet dust, asteroid dust, etc.) is low. Relative velocities can be quite high, however, and even very small particles (sand to ball-bearing sized) can inflict significant damage. Attenuation in low-Earth orbit (where the ISS is) from atmospheric drag is also probably fairly high, so that any dust captured in such an orbit (as opposed to passing through on a one-time or high-inclination orbit) would likely enter the atmosphere fairly quickly.

That said, I've seen discussion elsewhere that lunar dust accelerated by any mechanism (impacts, or rocket fire) won't billow as dust does on Earth, but will launch on a ballistic trajectory. Whether that's suborbital, orbital, or (lunar) escape velocity depends on the initiating event.

We've found numerous lunar and Martial fragments as Earth-impact meteorites, with various sources giving 200--400 known Martian fragments:

Lunar dust liberated by impacts is all but certainly a component of near-Earth space dust, but probably a small percentage based on a quick search. Most seems to be of comet or asteroid origin.


But if you seek asylum in a islamic country you are likely to end up enslaved or used in war efforefforts as involuntary mercenary. The southern coast of the Mediterranean is not really save as an African (except tunesia). Many end up in civil wars like libya, (in the past)syria, sudan or yemen. You can not have asylum in a country with no real rule of law, where belonging to some ruler affiliated family clan is basically necessary for citizenship?

The worst is scifibooks that explore ideas but the authors afraid of literary critics jam in "real" characters with real "drama" to satisfy a crowd who does not get the purpose of the medium, even while they life inside one of those accelerando shortstories now.

"Can you condense that down further without loosing clarity? " goes into every prompt.

I can condense that and improve clarity simply by s/oo/o/

I ve read this in a breathless ("help my ideology is under attack by reality") voice and it took a page away fro interesting discussions.

My pet theory is that the species inherited a loop deformation by default from our ancestors, defacto splitting the species planetwide into three subspecieses. One adapted to peace, one adapted to strife, one adapted to all out carnage. The obvious benefits of various adaptions of what we perceive as mental sickness, but what are actual adaptions to the loop communicating themselves. In this small moment where one (peacetime) insanity is uprooted to replace with a (wartime) insanity, might we be free in the anti gravity of the situation to discuss complex answers before the yikes of you silence us for the rest of the cycle? Thanks for the gag in all these years, that helped and did nothing.


Improvise. Adapt. Overcome or perish. One of the first man in orbit almost died because his suit couldnt fold its arms in vacuum. The enterprise moment where you encounter something new and unforseen must be scary as fuck.
