Very nice and handy for coming back to. Keenly waiting for the examination of asian vs white fluid intelligence (NE-asian I assume).
Not sure if you are super into evolutionary theory, but got a book recommendation: 'Evolution and the Levels of Selection' by Samir Okasha. A book that suggests that (as well as genes) cells, organisms and groups of organisms count as replicators - all nested within each other like Russian Dolls. For example:
Inside a single Russian doll, the inner units usually cooperate because they rely on each other (intra-cooperation), but conflict arises if a single unit starts reproducing selfishly at the expense of the whole (intra-conflict). Between two separate Russian dolls, they might work together for mutual benefit (inter-cooperation), or fight over limited resources (inter-conflict).
right now, just Tao's Introduction to Measure Theory, these course notes https://e.math.cornell.edu/people/belk/measuretheory/ , a book called Probability Essentials, and Shreve's Stochastic Calculus for Finance II. This covers measure theory, measure theoretic probability, Brownian motion, Martingales, Ito Integral, Black-Scholes, and options pricing theory.
You don't need genetics to explain why the middle class is eroding. You need normal cause and effect, aligned with incentives. The middle class was engineered, when the situation demanded it — built on specific structures that required continuous maintenance. When the generation that benefited from those structures forgot they were engineered, they dismantled them. The damage arrived a generation later, long after the people who made the decisions had benefitted from and retired comfortably inside the system they'd hollowed out. That's not dysgenics. That's structural neglect with a time delay.
I have spent a few years learning about the emergence of the middle class, the conditions that led to its formation, and the conditions that are leading to its erosion. That's what I'm basing my comments on. Do you have a response? I'm not saying I'm right. But it would be good to have a response, not a dismissal without a thoughtful evaluation. If you disagree, that's fine.
No point in responding to a liar who thinks I'm too dumb to see AI slop for what it is. You're going to keep lying while imagining you're somehow better/smarter than me.
I'm not claiming any intellectual superiority. I am saying that you don't need genetics to describe what is happening. You just need to understand incentives that people respond to, just as they always have.

This theory of 'multi-level selection' seems to clear up for me why we have cancer, culture, kin selection, etc, but of course I could be wrong. Check my ramblings about it if you are interested: https://paleoposition.substack.com/p/critiquing-veritasiums-video-on-evolution, but the book is a lot better.
another one i can recommend is this one: https://www.amazon.de/Multilevel-Selection-Theoretical-Foundations-Historical/dp/3030495221
Oh nice, will have a look
Do you have a reading list for quantitative finance?

Thanks, GPT 😂
No GPT... Try again. Feel free to respond to the actual content. I'm glad to discuss.
oh okay, which LLM did you use then?
