Late night Anthropological/biological thoughts.

[Swaggin916]

I have a few biological thoughts on my mind right now for whatever reason. The only reason men/males exist is for genetic diversity (crossing over of chromosomes during meiosis, etc.). If this diversity wasn't advantageous women could be asexual and simply clone themselves to keep the species going. Natural selection could have been the main culprit in shaping the way today's male's act, but I think it's more likely they were sexually selected by females (much like peacocks with their enormous tails and spotted feathers). Females selected men who were increasingly physically/mentally superior to the point where men could legitimately control them. What at first must have seemed like a good idea to better insure the survival of their offspring and make life much easier for females (why do the work yourself when you could get a big strong/smart man to do it?) eventually turned into kind of a chauvinist nightmare. Now women have rights and opportunities, and can do everything themselves if they so desire. I suppose they could have before too but it's certainly easier now. But at the same time some would not rather do the work, or some want that alpha with status, or others are jaded by Disney movies/chick flicks where true love conquers all... but I don't see a weak looking scrawny/lethargic prince charming in too many of those movies. People for the most part are biologically driven and so is our society... Capitalism = human nature. There are definitely exceptions, but from where I'm sitting, that is what this merry mess appears to be and i find it funny/sad/expected.

Thoughts? Agree/disagree? Obvious? Will it change in time given our understanding? Is it changing I'm just not meeting enough people? what say ye

If we are offspring of thousands and thousand of years of Alpha, strong, peacocked up, smart males that banged many a woman and seeded their children.....then why do we have beta, ugly, weak men today and what happened to thousands of years of Alpha male genetics that should have passed down to those poor betas?

Because it is most often the weak who triumph over the strong, because they are by far the most numerous. This is evident in the power the slave morality of Christianity has held, which disguises weakness as virtue, and at its essence is anti-life and opposed to all mammalian progression.

Because acquiring resources was a prominent factor in sexual selection dude.

-There is nothing inherently wrong with nationalism (as long as it is responsible)
-Eugenics would benefit humanity
-Jews control the media, and have a disproportionate amount of influence on our culture
-This same propaganda promotes racial stereotypes and revisionist history
-Fat people are objectively inferior and pollute the gene pool

That is all

Only one or few can get the biggest tails and most spotted feathers out of the same gene pool. In terms of attractiveness we have a more complex system than the peacock (which is based off only a couple things), but it's still the same thing just with more variables.

What I am mostly getting at though is that no matter what we do, our culture and events that happen will be biologically driven. It seems to me that way at least. There are certain individuals who might be ignorant enough for the "fluff" to take serious root and forever skew their view of what this experience is... but the underlying motives will always be there.

Now I guess I am getting into more of a nature/nurture thing here and what I am saying is that the nurturing can/will have an effect... but underneath that we are what we are. Those who find themselves to be "cultured" are either ignorant or repressing... and I'm not saying it's not good to repress some things, bu it's still repression and it will come out in other ways. The two things that run most countries are business and politics... which is just biology rearing it's head into different forms.
