The anthropologist in my head is yelling, "ECONOMIC POLICIES ARE CULTURALLY DETERMINED! EVERYTHING IS CULTURE! ESPECIALLY TECHNOLOGY!"
-
But, (mostly) ignoring her, from my perspective culture has also become highly hostile to people like me. :^) Because now we are called The Mad. Reconnected with family and fuck if the exact same pattern of disorders doesn't run through each and every one of us.
-
Of course, most NRX types, say, would sneer at me and accuse our family of being "dysgenic" but also my removal from the breeding population is not exactly raising the genetically determined IQ average of the next generation and blocking access to medtech isn't helping ME either.

If I had more real wealth I probably would've settled down and had a family early on, right before I transitioned into a crazy transhumanist, and if society didn't discriminate against me at every turn from age 5 onwards, I probably would've had more real wealth.

Anyways, this probably sounds vaguely accusatory for no real reason, not your fault, I'm just in crazy ranting mode. Large, undiscussed shift in the early 1800s to how our culture treated certain kinds of people. Fucking monsters with icepicks and sedatives. TURING.

im here for you on this whole thread except for the closing trotsky apologia

"Inspired by the work of Italian psychiatrist Amarro Fiamberti, Freeman at some point conceived of approaching the frontal lobes through the eye sockets instead of through drilled holes in the skull. In 1945 he took an icepick from his own kitchen and began testing the idea..."

this is the "anti-natalist meme" theory
-
wait seriously? i know of like ten committed antinatalists and they are all very nice and half of them are in this thread doesnt seem like a very pervasive meme (??)
-
for anti-natalist memes to pervade a society, the anti-natalists themselves don't have to be mean and numerous.
-
Lesley Newson proposed that anti-natalist memes are like "background radiation," normally out-shined by pro-natalist attitude of close-knit kinship communities (which have genetic interest in promoting natalism)https://twitter.com/Locus_of_Ctrl/status/1021190149739171840 …

TL;DR one doesn't need to be a convinced anti-natalist to be affected by anti-natalist meme. The memes affect one's internal weighting scheme for priorities like having children or building a career instead.
