      This is where I differ from @VarangianSkull . A minority of people: young, attractive women - are gifted with a HUGE amount of unearned "privilege" (for want of a better word). At some point they lose it and become mere mortals. Why should I weep for a "fair" Gini coefficient? https://twitter.com/VarangianSkull/status/1225454915956432896 …

      2/ Society does not weep for former slaveholders who lost their property. Society does not weep for trust fund kids who squander their inheritence. You had something unearned, and now ... you're like everyone else. THAT MUST BE SO HARD FOR YOU.

      3/ Hmm...occurs to me that this is sort of the inverse of the parable of the prodigal son. 90 people out of 100 never have high SMV superpowers, exist at ~ 5. 10 get 8, 9, or 10 rating, then lose it AWW THOSE POOR PEOPLE. Why do THEY get sympathy / concern ? 🤔

      5/ I've got some relatives who were quite well off - earned INSANE money...but saved very little. One day, the "up or out" industry ... spit this relative out. Income went to $0, and he ended up with a relatively crappy career. ...with nothing saved. I think about this >>>

      6/ my horror for the implicit regret of squandering an inheritance for a bowl of pottage is off the scale. I find that behavior abhorrent beyond words. This is EXACTLY what feminist / leftist counsels as best approach for young women. * squander inheritance * complain later

      8/ Gnon is kind to women. Something like 95% of women reproduce. Gnon is brutal to men. There is a long uphill climb of training, fighting, competing in the marketplace. 50% of men are failures, and do not reproduce.

      >95% of women reproduce >50% of men do not reproduce !!! I was not aware of this. Source? Is this recent? What have trends been like in 20th C? Or recorded history?

          The high estimates for women have always been false on their face, if 90%+ of women survived to have children after being defeated in tribal warfare, beauty standards wouldn't be anywhere near as cross-culturally convergent as they are.

          I also have a bone to pick with some of the ancient DNA inferences of absolute extermination as norm though-- we know there were far-ranging trade networks between stone age nomads, and we don't have the resolution to distinguish that from norm of diffusion of enslaved survivors.

          Interesting, thanks. Puts your original claim in context. ... namely: arguably but not yet conclusively, during ancestral times (but not yet known precisely when), most women reproduced and most men did not. Seems plausible. Clearly not the case today, but the pressure shows.
