Why I am doing all these?

Why free market forever? Why the site? Why all the writing?

Have you ever seen kids begging on the street and then some other kids bigger than them collect money from those little kids. That’s what I see every day I go out in my country. No body care about those kids.

Yet when one those poor teen (say after legal age) or her mom would prostitute her self or be second/3rd wife to rich males that can and want to afford her, every body screams exploitation.

Also, I am not blaming anyone. I am not blaming those people for being hypocrite. Evolution theory already predict that they will be like that. I understand.

All those people do not know what they’re doing. Those who know don’t speak and silently become dictators and politicians making sure that those who speak don’t know. Those who do know and speak wouldn’t be believed anyway.

And that’s the whole point of being an effective hypocrite. Humans are not just hypocrite, they are very good and effective at it.

Successful hypocrites are those who somehow can maintain far different images than reality. In zero sum games like pursuance of power and sexual selection, we expect lies, effective successful lies, to prevail over truth.

By the way, the explanation to those apathy toward begging kids is simple and scientific. We don’t care about kids begging on the street because we indeed don’t care. Evolution theory predicts that humans do not care a lot about those that are non relative, too dissimilar or non reciprocal.

For altruism trait to reproduce it must somehow improve reproductive success. Caring for kids begging on the street doesn’t. It works for all species. Not just human.

Caring about women choosing to be prostitutes or 6th wife does improve a man’s reproductive success if you can count that as caring.

Humans, as chimps and gorillas, also do not care about their kind. However, males in power, such as voters, do not want women to pick other males that indeed have better more attractive offers.

That would effectively force women to aim lower, hence improving the bigot’s reproductive success. So most males primates want to prohibit many consensual choice. One great way to do that is to punish women that pick better offers.

So they get more followers to support their agenda, they need to come up with something else to mask their intent. None of those are scientific of course.

From religion, to women’s dignity, etc. All are well, non scientific. How do you proof or disproof that getting paid for sex raise or lower dignity?

It’s not science. It never is. We’re lying. We’re not interested to explain truth. We don’t use science to lie big to public. It’s tougher.

That’s what humans are. Humans are irrational and come up with irrational nonsense to justify what they want to do deep inside. They’re hypocrites, very effective ones.

We hold this truth with plenty of evidences that humans are different. Because we are not equally healthy, smart, productive, diligent, attractive, and aggressive we have different rules. Different rules serve different people. So each of us want the world to be governed differently.

Some of those rules have strong zero sum aspect. All we care is getting as many people as possible to believe what we believe and support what we support. We don’t care about truth.

So we lied. So we encouraged faith, so others would believe it anyway despite lack of or instead of evidences.

And neither religions or atheism are there to blame. Ask any religious engineers and I am sure he knows how basic physics work. Ask any atheists why they oppose prostitution/polygamy and most likely he doesn’t use science either. I bet he’ll use vague non scientific words like “dignity” or “respect for women”. Actually that’s the easiest way to see when someone is lying. He used vague words.

The problem is indeed in the structure of the game itself.

When we cooperate, like in understanding bricks, mortars, and light bulb, we are honest. When we are in zero sum game, like when we decide who should be in power or which guys and girls hotties can pick, we are liars. That’s the most profitable course. Of course that’s what everyone does irrelevant of whether they are religious or atheists.

Well at first my reaction is indeed hatred.

I am a mensa member. I won an international science competition. Schools are boring to me. Yet I was forced to take classes I don’t like due to evil political process.

I saw parents of low IQ kids bitching about how governments should do more to regulate education. Any billionaires in silicon valley knows that the problem is not government lack of involvement. The problem is some kids are just dumber. Why no body can see the obvious?

Finally, I had low IQ ex boyfriend and some future ex husband wanting to kill me for reasons I didn’t understand. Obviously I did nothing “wrong” against them.

Yes I had and may still have a lot of hatred and I wanted to just exterminate all those bigots. That’s what any males would do. It’s in my genes.

However the more I learn, the more I realized that it’s not as easily avoidable as anyone would have thought. It’s as if everyone in a sense already do “the right thing”. That I am the one that’s odd out.

Everyone is like that. That’s what being human means. We’re not angels. We’re human. That’s what human do. Being hypocrite, lie to each other, and then kill each other. The greatest human is Tao and the greatest Tao is not far from just normal human. Those normal humans are the variants of our species most successfully reproduced in the past.

Think about it. Say humans are killing your tribe. You can say, don’t kill, killing sucks. The problem is, if killing is only sucks for you, why should killer stop killing? The “right thing” is of course to kill back, to bullshit back, to prosecute back and so on. It’s the natural thing. Any rational or experienced players in such situation will all do the same thing.

And that’s where we are now. We are killing each other, bullshitting each other. It’s not just sucks for us, it sucks for the other side too. Just ask any kids that got bombed by airplanes or get slaughtered by suicide bombing. Obviously stopping killing and bullshitting each other would be profitable.

However, we will not get out of this (karmic?) cycle of mayhem until we understand what’s really going on.

That’s how I got passionate of helping as many people as possible to understand evolutionary psychology. Making it mainstream. So we can see what’s the problem and come up with better solutions for all of us. Why not put all those questions used to be answered by fairy tales, religions, ideologies, and other nonsense and use science to see what’s really going on.

A long time ago, Adam Smith convince the world that that humans are selfish. By properly understanding it we slowly manage to improve humans’ gross domestic product 300 times.

For God so love the world he send Adam Smith so that any country whose people believe in free market doesn’t have to be poor but can enjoy great wealth.

Well, we are selfish, but slightly different than pure selfish. We’re also bigotic, loving, caring, xenophobic, greedy, envious, vengeful, grateful, etc. Properly understood of what we would do and why we do it there is a lot more to achieve.

The world without war, and poverty is very easy to achieve. Altruism is not the answer for poverty for the same reason morality is not the main answer for prosperity. We’re still selfish bastard just like our ancestors and yet we are all far better off thanks to capitalism and globalization. Altruism is never a good answer because humans are selfish or govern by genes who are. Still, we will be prosperous without having to stray far from our nature. Think about it.

Now, don’t be selfish. Buy the e-book.
