Churchill was a racist, many Founding Fathers of the USA owned slaves, etc. Our civic religions surrounding these figures are based on a bunch of lies. This is a potential infohazard because lacking such unifying myths, our nations could lose their cohesion.

@turchin We should stop spending our time coming up with prosocial ideas (UV light idea https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/L8KGSDchPpNo48PCM/ubiquitous-far-ultraviolet-light-could-control-the-spread-of …, etc) because nobody will ever listen to us. Maximize time coming up with evil shit because that gets the attention. Proof: right here.3 replies 1 retweet 37 likesShow this thread -

@JimDMiller Virtue signalling is real, and that implies that a lack of virtue signalling from a person means they are probably less kind, less loyal, less friendly etc than average. Even if the virtue signalling is socially harmful and false, you should still update on it.4 replies 1 retweet 41 likesShow this thread -

@MugaSofer John Snow stabs Daenerys Targaryen to death in the last episode of Game of Thrones, all the important characters die or go elsewhere and a bunch of nobodies who you don't care about end up with all the titles and stuff. It's super cringe.1 reply 0 retweets 27 likesShow this thread -

@imhinesmi Many of your ancestors were rapists, murderers, women who cuckolded their husbands, men who cheated etc. Think clearly about the process that created you and the incentives hidden within you.3 replies 6 retweets 63 likesShow this thread -

For present day about 1.5% at the high end. Last names vs genes which covers a few hundred years of history - 0.73% for Afrikaners, 1.6% for Irish, 1.3% for Englishhttps://westhunt.wordpress.com/2013/01/27/by-blows-paternal-age-and-all-that/ …

Replying to @CovfefeAnon @imhinesmi
Yeah, well 1%× thousands of generations = certainty

The the latter numbers indicate a ~1% chance for at least one event in the last few hundred years - that's how often you get a genetic mismatch with a last name. 1% for a single event in a line for 20 events; not for each event.

Those numbers really do highlight how bad modern society is when examined at it more closely. Notice the drastic mismatch between the modern numbers and the historic. Present day is ~99% for paternal certainty but over 20 generations ~99% for no cuckholding - implies much lower

Running through this quickly it for the result to be a 1% chance of there being a surname / genetic mismatch you need not 99% of paternity certainty but ~99.95% paternity certainty. Modern society is awful.
