Pair bonding and peer bonding

Posted on by @HppoTweeter in HppoThorns, Male heirarchy, Uncategorized, Vox hierarchy

This is a thought and therefore it is to be taken solely as opinion on the author at the time of writing. I reserve to be wrong and alter this thought at any point in the future or the past.

It’s been a frequent conjecture in the red pill sphere that a woman’s ability to form a lasting pair bond is diminished with the number of sexual partners.

But that a man’s ability to pair bond is unaffected by his count of sexual partners.

Whether a double standard or a biological difference.

I can not say nor do I much care.

These are conjectures based on the summaries of my observations.

It is my current belief that women practice both pair bonding and peer bonding.

While men either practice peer bonding or pair bonding.

Peer bonding isn’t discussed when men talk about a women’s ability to pair bond.

It is without a doubt a foreign concept to most men.

Most men do not form new lasting friendships past the age of 25. And so the opportunity to create new and lasting peer bonds among men is diminished. So it is simply not thought about.

Women however can and do form lasting peer bonds throughout their life.

It is my current thought that men either practice peer bonding or pair bonding,

Whereas women can practice both at the same time.

The men who focus on peer bonding tend to put

“Bro’s before Hoes”

They tend to be the HVM (high value male), as their concerns for social status and allows them to climb the corporate ladder as well as become the “lifted” Alpha male of their friend circle.

But these men rarely settle down and if they do they often step out.

As their emotional needs (or need of sexual validation) tends to be more than a single partner can provide.

Where as I see the average Delta and Bravo,

Able to settle down but their pair bond takes priority over their social status.

As well as their economic status.

The drive to climb either ladder seems diminished

as long as things are well at home.

NOW

Here are my observations of women,

I have seen girls with high partner counts settle down into lasting marriages

the difference

A first I thought it was religion….

But whether Born Again Christian, Mormon, Wiccan, or Agnostic

religions where the package but the truth was

that these provide ready and open peer groups for the women

women who’ve taken up a regular social hobby with other women of “good” moral character

I see the same shift in them as well.

She can be the atheist or satanist in a knitting circle but the reinforcement of values through a stable peer group is the difference.

I think that women fill the first two levels of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs with a strong pair bond but only half of the third tier.

The other half of the third tier of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs as well as the fourth tier is reserved for influences beyond the home.

Whereas men for the most part seek to fill the part two tiers from society and the top two tiers from pair bonding. Men don’t need to peer bond with their coworkers or even hold to religious tenets and practices to satisfy the first two tiers and in most cases the Delta can rest content upon the third tier of Maslow’s hierarchy while filling the need for esteem through self isolating hobbies (video games, model trains, stamp collecting)

If you think I’m wrong about this FIGHT ME!

Accept the truth that you chose to be born!

Posted on by @HppoTweeter in Dialogue, Uncategorized

Stoic philosophy is quite clear that there are many things you can not control. Rather than dwell on the circumstances and conditions nature has placed upon you, a Stoic must instead only focus on how those things affect them and how they can control themselves despite circumstances that are not within their control.

Whether born an emperor or the slave, a Stoic is to do their duty as the economic circumstances of their birth are out of their control.

I never liked that line of logic.

On it’s face it locks a person in place.

Now in Dianetic philosophy, if you can call it such. There is a concept that ALL the challenges and circumstances of one’s life are under one’s control. The Dianetics are in complete control.

Meaning that unfortunate events are to teach lessons, the more those lessons repeat the more severe they will be until the Dianetic has learned the applicable lesson.

I despise Dianetics.

As it creates a Narcissistic god complex in it’s adherents.

As a Pragmatist, it serves to take away from these conflicting philosophies what is relevant as it is relevant.

-Story Time-

(Philosophic points after)

I often jest with co-workers and friends who are unhappy with the circumstances of their life, particularly due to their economic status and the conditions of their job.

“Well, you should have thought about that before you decided to be born poor.”

Is my default remark. It illicits a laugh and dismisses the conversation woe of choosing either between pity or comradely. While not invalidating their circumstances or their feelings to it.

I use this remark because with every single co-worker, I talk with. I’ve told them they don’t have to work here. Everyday they are given the choice to improve their tomorrow, through sacrifices today that may pay off in the future.

Whether they are a lift operator in their fifties or a disgruntled loader in their early twenties. Their first complaint about the job (to me) is met with this question.

“Well what would you rather be doing?”

answers range from I’d rather be at home, playing video games, to on a yacht off of Florence.

“Well, what’s stopping you? Go do that.”

Here’s when I see the walls of cognitive dissonance rise in their eyes and demeanor.

They brush it off and go back to work

Or at most

Outright state “I need money.”

and head back to work

But the seed of Truth has been planted

If they don’t want to be at work

They don’t have to

Not only did they make the active choice of choosing this job

But

Everyday they reaffirm that choice

Actively by going to work

Passively

by not looking at other job offers

(our lift operators where paid $15/hr, when the going rate was starting at $22/hr)

by not working on bettering themselves

(Our warehouse is brutal and acts gym rats who still find 5 extra hours to hit the gym

but not one to work on their resume)

by not creating goals

It’s been three years since my first conversation with a disgruntled co-worker

he’d rather be a Twitch broadcaster, playing video games and getting paid. That was his answer three years ago. YET, he hasn’t tried even once.

Since that time his salary has been cut by $5,000 dollars.

The Covid bug has reduced his hours and his wife who went back to work to make up the difference may be out of a job.

So when he complains because our typical March shift is 12 hours and now he is only getting 6.

“Well, you should have thought about that before you decided to be born poor.”

and since January I’ve been on Twitch myself.

What’s more is I come at it with two months of research before I started. Turns out the average length of time for a streamer to “Breakthrough” is 6 years.

Our operator could be half-way but he hasn’t broadcasted once.

And I don’t even want to be on Twitch

But that’s where the people are

and I need them to read and buy my books

So I can continue my mission of improving young men’s literal lives.

-Alright Story Time Over-

As a Pragmatist, it serves to take away from these conflicting philosophies what is relevant as it is relevant.

The Stoics say you can’t control the circumstances of your birth

The Dianetics say you control every aspect of your life (birth included)

What would it mean to think that you chose the circumstance of your birth?

What kind of agency does this provide?

If you were omnipotent before carnation, why would you have chosen the particular circumstance of your birth?

When you could have chosen any other

If you chose the circumstance, you chose the challenges.

I feel rather empowered thinking that I set the difficulty of this life. No, I did not decide all the events; Hurricanes and Tidal Waves, but I can Stoically decide those events impacts on my philosophy and future actions as well as their emotional impact on me.

-Second Story Time-

I didn’t decide that Bitcoin would be so valuable, while I knew of it in 2008. Rather than dwell on the opportunity lost or indulge my own cognitive dissonance (Which tells me that Bitcoin has and will have no inherent value and therefore is an immoral confidence trade. OR. That destiny has decided that you are not ready for wealth and that I must continue to work on myself before wealth will present itself.)

Instead when I am presented with a new technology or opportunity, I will preform a cost benefit analysis and poor separable resources into it if I think it’s ends are worth the investment.

I still think that by and large, stock trading or confidence bets are immoral and the purity of my soul must also be considered when makes such “investments”.

Which is why I bought into High Times during their schedule A push and after further revelations as to the companies overall health. I am excited to pick-up more stock once they hit an exchange. Even though the stock I have already purchased will have fallen though the floor. I own stock in High Times not because they are poised to make a fortune with the legalization of weed and have a super confidence boost but because with high enough equity in the company I can ethically take dividends and keep confidence in the company.

-Story over-

Pragmatically I think that operating under the heuristic, that you chose not just to be born but the circumstances of your birth, gives you control and agency and hope as to how the rest of your life turns out.

You may not have chosen.

Or

You did.

The truth doesn’t matter nearly as much as how you operate as if though one were true.

If you think OH woe is me, I am but a leaf on the wind. You will still die.

If you think I am the master of my destiny. You will still die.

One of these operative modes gives you more choice everyday to continue your current pattern of behavior

and the other

You surrender that choice to the fates

Well that’s about my thoughts on that.

End Card

Devin Nash Hardcore

Posted on by @HppoTweeter in HppoThorns, Uncategorized

Devin Nash, affectionately known to the twitch community as CEO Andy, is the CMO of N3rdFusion and the host of the Devin Nash Show

the Devin Nash Show is a twitch.tv broadcast that covers, gaming influencer news, as well as Rogan-esq broadcaster interviews that focus on what makes them successful as broadcasters and influencers

Here are some choice selection of those interviews

Business Experts Talk Success Secrets (ft. Gootecks)

https://youtu.be/7C85wKqiX2c

Top Twitch Streamer MoonMoon Discusses Streaming Success

https://youtu.be/7oXywAvJXr4

And a breakdown of 100 thieves Market genius behind their gaming fortress

(Highly Recommend for the Marketing inclined)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGqUkdNqcxg

Devin Nash is also a Hardcore player of POE(Path of Exile).

This thorn I’m about to pull is why?

In his words he plays Hardcore because when he loses a character he needs to feel it. The absolute loss of a character because of his own actions. Or to the indifference of the games bosses who have broken mechanics, which he should have avoided.

Every man has his preference and it’s perfectly acceptable that his be irregular.

He refers to the normal mode though as a “Baby Game” in rhetoric jest of course. But it is still a deflection of digging at why he truly plays hardcore, with such an off the cuff dismissal of the default and most popular game mode. What bothers me about this is that this is not an argument to sway others to his form of perceived superior play but rather to himself securely coddled in his preference.

Why?

Why is that important that he raises rhetoric argument?

Because rhetoric is not application of persuasion, not the method by which truth is discovered.

Rhetoric is primary used as a weapon, either when there is a lack of knowledge on a subject or where the truth is counter to the conclusion you wish an audience to draw.

So here’s why IMHO

Devin Nash plays Hardcore?

He is practicing attachment, control, investment and failure.

Games fill whatever desire your heart longs for a time but without ever fulfilling that desire forever.

Are you feeling lonely?

Join a cooperative experience

Are you feeling like murdering your boss?

Hop on an Xbox shooter, talk smack and exercise dominance over 12 yr old boys until dawn instead

Are you feeling unchallenged?

We have strategy games for that.

Are you feeling the need for a girl but don’t want to take a shower?

Let me introduce you to the world of dating sims.

Hardcore modes fill a very special need

For some it’s the sheer challenge and proof of mastery

For others it’s the most uncontested leader-board

For Devin Nash

it’s grief and frustration

He doesn’t play Hardcore for fun

No, indeed too many hours have been throw into POE

to call it fun or catharsis

Why would anyone inflict themselves with such pain and loss though?

Understand that for every character death he experiences,

That character is permanently dead and can no longer be played.

Which means all the hours, days, weeks of investment that went into

crafting that character are GONE FOREVER.

Even if that Character does not die they will be forever in memoriam after the seasons end, never to be played again as the call of a new season begs the creation of a new avatar.

Each ending condition is the same the investment squandered, as games like life have an end when all will be forgotten.

POE Hardcore fills Devin Nash’s need for attachment by providing a, relatively, consequence free zone for him to experience attachments ultimate conclusion death and grief

This the motive that he keeps from himself

Because Detachment and the practice thereof dominates his conscience and everyday life. Romanticly, Profressionally, and Religously

Why then must I attack his last vestige of Attachment by revealing it’s nature?

It is the truth as I see it.

It’s not a bad thing, It’s just a hidden thing

and all things must be brought under the light.

GARNER FAME or SERVICE FANS?

Posted on by @HppoTweeter in HppoThorns, Uncategorized

This thorn has been in my head for a long time.

I know that TWITTER is for the famous

but I still use it

(and lie to myself saying that I am marketing my works)

I knew that Reddit AMA’s are for those with fame

but I tried it anyway.

I know still that Streaming on Twitch.tv and posting on youtube

is not expanding my base

but I’m there anyways

All of these things will be of service to fans

once I have them

here’s what you came here for though

Step 1: Know your demographic

for me my ideal demographic is young men ages 18-25

Step 2: Know where they are and what content they consume

for my demo

they check best of Reddit 5 times a day via phone,

they are not on twitter in significance,

they have 1-3 forums they are active or lurkers in

(but this are hyper specific and deluded to be of marketing value)

They are on either YouTube or twitch 4 hrs a day

while gaming passively letting the algorithm feed them auto-play content

Step 3: Understand the requirements of the platform

While YouTube’s algorithm is a secret.

It’s a mystery box that millions of people feed hundreds of millions of hours of video into

but we know what gets weight down

and what gets lifted up

RIGHT NOW

recommendations are for evergreen content from creators

with a consistent +4 year back catalog

Live streamers who engage on the platform

(comment-bots , community posts, etc)

are boosted

(my suspicion is that is based on how many times individuals check out the commenters channel page.)

The AI bot ties auto-play together based on the video description

(tags are a distraction)

(this creates a vicious reaction cycle funnel)

It’s why drama is so effective on YouTube

Step 4: lay the foundation for success to keep fans before you have them

Unless you want to be a one-hit wonder

or a that viral tweet

(which may become a Lizzo song)

you need to have a backlog of content

or become a flash in the pan

Step 5: Decide the color of your hat

Black hats:

maybe: use bots to comb your social site and get engagement

(suspect 1, suspect 2)

Buy: sub counts and watch time pushes

Grey Hats:

Kick the Hornets nests

Use the drama feed loop to spread your content and build a base

White Hats:

Get lucky

(this video was featured on the from page on YouTube and rocketed the channel from 50k to 300k subs in one month.

And has almost 1 million views)

Green Hats:

Do what Tai lopez did

“I’m here in my garage!”

There you have it!

I have other posts about the other platforms and best tips

Give me a comment and I’ll point you there.

Like and share this

UBI may Break the corporate shield

Posted on by @HppoTweeter in Uncategorized

A universal basic income will have many positive benefits for many people.

But for some their will be negative consequences.

Those that exploit labor will have a harder time as now their labor force does not have to endure abusive conditions to ensure they have a basic quality of life ( food, water, shelter).

Those that exploit tenants will have a harder time raising rents. Since a tenants basic needs are no longer tied to a place of physical employment, people will be more mobile and able to relocate their living situation with relative ease into a non-exploitative tenant-landlord relationship.

Economists say “the only minimum wage should be ZERO”

This is only possible in a world where the value of labor is freely decided by the laborer and those contracting the labor. Since a labor only has tier 2 and above of the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to attend to they are not on a level playing field with those that can afford to contract their services but they are not at a disadvantage being motivated to put up with wages disproportionate with the effort/skill/ or scarcity of the labor being provided.

BREAKING THE CORPORATE SHIELD

The corporate shield refers to the legal liability a company can be subject to if that company is found or convicted of unethical, unlawful or otherwise negative impacts that company has committed in bad faith or actual malice.

It means that those individuals who work for the company are protected from legal seizure of assets.

Those who hold stock and vote on a company’s policies and elect board of directors, their personal non-corporate assets are protected as well.

The corporate shield allows individuals to take risks with their excess capital and not be held liable for the wrong-doing of a corporate entity. THIS IS A GOOD THING.

BUT it’s too much of a good thing.

When the corporate shield is used in bad faith to protect individuals and groups like the Sackler family from suffering any loss of property for (allegedly) withholding knowledge as to the addictive nature of Oxycontin, all while aggressively using incentive programs for doctors to prescribe Oxycontin over other less addictive medications.

In 2008 the “banks” were bailed out with government funds but there was certainly enough money on the other side of the corporate shield to cover the costs of corporate bankruptcy/reconstruction.

UBI provides the benefits of the corporate shield

by mitigating the maximum amount of risk an individual is exposed to. Every dollar over the essential cost of living (food, water, shelter) is excess and liable.

Those are my thoughts on that.

Facebook is for MEMES. Fight me.

Posted on by @HppoTweeter in Uncategorized

Ah young paddawon. Don’t you know Facebook is for MEMES.

Facebook facts.
FB shares each post with 5-7 of your friends who are likely to engage or have a long scroll wait (look at it)

It creates an echo chamber really quick no matter how much you post.

If you want to change people’s mind try creating a meme the Al Gore rhythm would think they would either like or hate. Then engage with them in the comments, else you are only preaching to the choir.

Also it should never be your goal to change an individual mind. Cognitive dissonance does not allow for this

Instead try to affect the audience. Those that neither engage or comment but come here for the drama.

It’s a slow battle but we will win #humanityfirst

No Free lunch or Free advice

Posted on by @HppoTweeter in Uncategorized

Asking anyone philosophically inclined a “why?”

is a dangerous proposition.

Half the time you’ll get a whole rant covering every reason that philosopher has

or

You’ll get a none answer so that they have time to reflect.

I’ve offered to help a co-worker with they’re finances in the form of advice.

And they asked “Why are you doing this?”

well my answer at the time to not delude them with a rant or over abundance of information was

“That’s a very broad question. I want to help, dialogues are the best way to reach an adequate understanding.”

but it did cause me to reflect as to “why?”

“Why, I can’t help but try and help people?”

Here’s the story:

“Thrasher”

is lifeguard jargon describing a type of drowning person.

I worked as a lifeguard for two summers at a water park with a wave pool. Wave pools start out shallow and get progressively deeper. Great fun for kids and families to relax, a place to stay cool and pass a few hours. It’s also one of the few places where you’ll see your fair share of “Thrashers”. Typically adult men who are hiding the fact they can’t swim and are uncomfortable in the water by spending hours in the mid shallows of the wave pool. Everything’s fine and after a while they venture further into the water to stay cool, making sure that their feet are touching the bottom the entire time. But the main attraction of Wave pool is the artificial waves that function much like real waves, creating riptides and drag which pulls these “thrashers” deeper into the pool. At some point they find that they are no longer touching the bottom of the pool, which sends them into a panic. And as the term suggests they begin flailing their arms widely. Faces trapped in a horrific panic. Here’s the catch-22 the lifeguard can do nothing until the person starts drowning, and now can’t do anything until the person calms themselves down or tires out. If the lifeguard jumps in to save them and pull them to the exit stairs or the shallows, they are going to take a hit or two. All the teenage lifeguard can do is wait till either the panic subsides or the thrasher tires, all while watching the absolute horror and struggle of the situation.

Pulling a six year old out of the deep end is no trouble and the main stay of saves. But Thrashers happen, best case scenario they thrash themselves to the wall and exit the pool themselves, worst case scenario they break the nose of the lifeguard who intervened too soon and now all lifeguards poolside are in making the rescue of two downers not just one.

By natural I seek out knowledge and understanding of systems,

This means I bring a lot when it comes to advice.

It also means that I have given advice

over and over

that falls on deaf ears only to say

“I told you so…”

Out of remorse for my failure to have helped

Much like the Thrashers you can spot them long before they are drowning, people in need.

Much like the Thrashers you can’t help them till they actually need your help.

Unlike the Thrashers by the time they are willing to accept help they are out of reach of advice.

You can’t teach a man to swim after he has drowned.

You can’t protect a man from his ex-wife before the marriage.

You can’t affect an exercise plan for a fatal heart attack.

Undone can not be done.

The same is true for advice once it is given it cannot be ungiven. Which means that if it is given and the audience is not receptive for any of these reasons:

Cognitive Dissonance,

Authority Bias,

Hometown Prophet Dismissal,

Dunning-Kruger Effect,

or simple

Pride.

Then the barrier to resistance will be strengthened, new cognitive defenses will protect those in need’s fragile egos from admitting fault.

The sunken cost fallacy

Is now a defense as well.

And while I have had to watch many loved ones go down paths they will never recover from. I am still hopeful that those willing to change their minds will seek or be receptive to my advice.

So to answer the question as concisely as possible

“Why are you doing this?”

I’m in a unique position to give advice worth taking and I will do everything within my power and scope to ensure that such advice will be taken for the betterment of the recipient, not dismissed or undervalued by any other psychological barriers listed above if I can help it.

Would a tesseract bounce?

Posted on by @HppoTweeter in Uncategorized

That is all I have been thinking about for the past two weeks.

 

If the wave distribution of the force of the fall of a tesseract would cuase the tesseract to bounce or just absorb the wave?

 

That and if Pi was less than three say 2.865….N-non repeating. Would bubbles collapse rather than pop?

Accidental Branding Genius of Harry Potter’s Houses.

Posted on by @HppoTweeter in HppoThorns, Uncategorized

As a member of the House of Raven-claw is nature to analyze, study, and apply logic to solve the mysteries of existence.

-HPPO

These questions seed in my brain like thorns of the prickle-berry bushes, so small an yet if I just give them a little attention and love they can bloom large enough to bear fruit.

Today’s question is why after 28 years are there still people dedicated to their fictional houses of a wizarding school?

The answer is Carl Jung.

Jung’s most notable and unattributed contribution to clinical psychology was the terming of “Introverts” and “Extroverts” but that’s not the reason why Jung’s work is taught in university.

Carl Jung also categorized the four archetypes of personalities. A personality for each Hogwarts House.

Jung identified them as Thinking, Feeling, Intuitive, and Sensation.

Literary scholars who favor Joseph Campbell will teach a modified version of these for archetypes. They named these four the King, Magician, Warrior, and Lover.

Rowling by coincidence or educational Osmosis calls these types

Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, and Slytherin.

I’d like to show on graphic where the borders of each house sit, but I can’t visually plot a 4 dimensional graph.

It’s not as simple as the Introvert/Extrovert number lined range from 1 to 10.

The Jung types would be coordinates in 4 dimensional space

X = Thinking

Y = Feeling

Z = Sensation

W = Intuitive

Each Hogwarts house would occupy a quarter of this tesseract chart.

***

Why is this branding genius?

There is a Hogwarts house for everyone and as such displaying your house whether you’re a Hufflepuff Queen on Tumblr, a Ravenclaw Redditor, a 4 channing Slytherin, Or a Tik-Toking Gryffindor is an impression for the Brand of Harry Potter.

We live in the attention economy where impressions matter. You can’t buy the amount of brand power that Hogwarts sorting hat has and it can’t be Usurped in market share as a categorization tool.

As long as Harry Potter is “Scholastic”-ly popular the Hogwarts House’s will continue to be the standard of sorting people by their Jungian personality types.

Now while I and you can’t put

Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw and Helga Hufflepuff

Into our own original works

without violating copy-write.

We can use the colors schemes and patroni pendants as a short cut/ signal flare to Potter-heads or culturally informed readers (even being remotely aware of the House’s gives these nudges).

To prove that branding has power

Pause for a moment

Refresh for mind

and

Fill in the blank…

Have a taste of a nice refreshing (—-1—)

or

pop a can of (—2—)

put on a pair of (—3—) and just do it.

Head to the (—4—) and pick one up today.

You answered each of these not with a generic object or noun. But with a specific brand name company.

That is the power of branding. It’s in your mind, It’s a shortcut, and It’s a tool.

🙂 (:

To Dabble or Hack

Posted on by @HppoTweeter in Uncategorized

The Dabbler, the Hacker

In the book Mastery by George Leonard he describes three types of people who will never become “masters” and there fatal flaw as to why. Of these three types two apply personally to me, The Dabbler and the Hacker.

The Dabbler dabbles from one path to another, excited initially at the prospect of mastering a new field, discovering and overcoming new challenges. But when the path becomes a long stretch without any progress, the Dabbler will find a new trail to blaze. The Dabbler’s mastery is an inch deep and a mile wide.

The Hacker cuts quickly through the thicket of initial barriers of a path. They find the solutions they need to solve the most common problems they face in that field and once they have mastered enough solutions they declare themselves a master and progress no further on the path to becoming a master. If the Hacker has achieved a level of skill they are satisfied with they no longer seek improvement. Improvement is change. Change is admission of imperfection.

“To learn is to change. Education, whether it involves books, body, or behavior, is a process that changes the learner.”

-George Leonard

The most terrifying thing about this is not that I will be bad for a long time.

That is a given.

No, it is that I am announcing my intentions and goals here.

Goals which will define my success or failure with this endeavor.

Goals which I may never reach and will likely fail at.

But without attempting to reach these goals

The odds of me reaching my goal of raising young men’s literacy rates is low.

This feels like a dabble which I’ve worked hard to start avoiding,

(evidenced by my pushing past the Valve limited of 3)

And what’s worse is I don’t even have the safety of having Hacked enough skills in the space to feign confidence.

I’m a fish out of water here and I’ll either grow legs and lungs or flop till my time expires.

See you there,

With Love,
