both sides refuse to love the other. the core reason? intelligence and the ability to deal with complexity has become the new God. there is no way to love when one side is closer to god than the other.

those below feel shame and guilt looking up, starving those up above of love and making those above feel resentful and angry at the cold world. it's not a matter of willpower but an aspect of the existing hierarchy of value and how hooman emotions work.

this is the other Ultimate Argument for Diversity. diversity across hierarchies of value allows for Love since individuals can be equidistant from God. within a giant ultra hierarchy of value everyone is slightly above or below everyone else.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1359537327614226432 …

this is why people don't like sharing salary numbers even if they're roughly in the same range. it's simply very hard to be friends with someone if you know they make more or less than you. your mind will intrusively brag or deride.

"John may have won that argument but I make 20 dollars more per year than him!" "This place doesn't appreciate good ideas. Bob almost sunk that project w/ that mistake, why does he make 20 dollars more per year than me!"

it's also an argument for why men/women should have different hierarchies of value. different hierarchies is what provides REAL equality.

yet instead of solving the real problem of elevating the feminine hierarchy to equal status, the feminine hierarchy is ironically dismembered and integrated into the male one. in fact, all hierarchies are now being dismembered and integrated into the worship of intelligence

this worship of the Above is primarily masculine while the care of the Below is primarily feminine. we need someone to take care of the dogs... b/c if every cat is me, then it's just a rather boring lifeless world filled with hyper rational assholes.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1343323489990713344?s=20 …
