    I agree with ’s timely argument: If 1989 revolutions are “seen as revolutions of national emancipation ... and not as democratic revolutions per se, the attitudes toward migration and the so-called European values become fully intelligible.”

    Preparing my "big guns" to argue why migration to E. Europe is not popular is unlikely to become so. "Democracy of convenience, not of choice: why is Eastern Europe different" (It goes back to the West liberal misinterpretation of the 1989-90 revolutions)

    ...those're the ones that are based on (salmon) fishing, so they were sedentary, kinda echoing horticultural societies.

    yup. next to no matrilineal societies in agricultural populations. the minute someone has to plow, you get a patrilineal system, or so it seems. same w/cattle herding (see above tweet). also, little to no matrilineal systems in H-Gs. some nw pacific pops are matrilineal, but...

    "Within the world's horticultural zones...matrilineal peoples seem to be found, in the main, outside of or bordering on tropical forest, and outside those zones where cattle can be raised in numbers."

    "Maps of cattle and tsetse-fly distribution in the area south of the tropical forest [in Africa] give rise to the strong impression that most matrilineal peoples live in areas where the tsetse-fly makes it impossible to raise cattle."

    Recording your own torture session is hella dystopian.

    HUGE news by on : • Khashoggi himself recorded his questioning via Apple Watch. • Records were uploaded to ICloud • Saudis questioned, tortured, and killed him • Hit squad had access to watch via his fingerprints, deleted some files • Phone had backup

    From NYT "every building" map. Nothing denser than core NYC, but its greater metro area thins out pretty quickly compared to LA, which stays pretty dense even out to its most distant exurbs (even Palm Springs!)

    If kin selection, would require that homosexual men caused the survival four extra nieces/nephews ( because only half as related as own kids). More effective than mothers? Impossible. does this happen? no.

    Nonsense. I mean, am I supposed to think that priests of Isis were celibate? That Brahmins were celibate? Where do you think little Brahmins come from? Fact: the identical twin of a homosexual man, usually is not homosexual. 75% discordance.
