You have a good point.

edit: guess posting it was a shit idea.

ily

I do, I just vote null.

why’d you set it to maximum ‘hot’ then?

No, they are biologically real, despite it being obsolete nomenclature iirc. Alpha doesn’t equate to “good” though. Just dominance.They exist in most if not all tournament species, but not so much in pair bonding apecies.

You can determine what category species fall under just by looking at average size differences of male and female skulls/other bone.

This provides a ton of information about mating habits, intersexual aggression, likelyhood of infidelity, role of males in raising kids and whole lot more.

Humans are in am evolutionary transition period from tournament to pair bonding.

All that being said, the traits selected to determine alphas can be about aggression and dominance and they can be about beauty, collaboration and territorial. Thia gets complex in birds and primates.

Alao, whatever strategy has the best chances of successfully reproducing and surviving through time does not automagically become legitimate, valuable or desireable. You need an extra ingredient for that. Priorities, which require value.

Pygmalion is real. Belief is a powerful thing. Some may even call it “faith”.

This is why hope is important.

I understand your point and appreciate you sharing it with me. You have my word I’ll put this information to good use.

I respect your opinion but i don’t share it. I didn’t mean mobile homes, though, and I haven’t seen what you describe in Chile. Maybe a few isolated cases through the years where I’ve seen trailers that display a lot of stickers that name or illustrate locations, to serve as proof of the travels of those inside, and thus an encoded status symbol for those with similar interests.

Your suspicion sounds like it may happen in a very very small scale. Why are you sharing it with me? Are you attempting to guess my social class? Cause if you are, don’t you think it’s a bit inconsiderate? Like I might make some people feel alienated? Is that what you were attempting? To draw distance? But, if you aren’t doing that, please do keep enlightening me with your musings about the socioeconomic lifestyle trends of the country I was raised and live in. Tell me more.

If you want to know about my family background, my employment, my income, the pricing of the educational institutions I went to, the neighborhood i live in, and basically any other aspect of my life situation that does not jeopardize my privacy, I can tell you about all these things. You just have to ask me directly. However, it might be wise to ask yourself which one of these aspects, these measurable scoring systems, you believe gives you legitimate cause for me to feel distance from you, or have any incidence over the conversation we’re having or my value as a person in its context.

However, if what you’d really like to know is what group of people, distributed by income, i feel like i belong to or owe loyalty to, we can spare ourselves the ceremony and I can straight out tell you right now.

I have several mental health conditions that have caused me, in one way or another, to be rejected or to commit self exile from any tribal association I’ve belonged to, except my brother and 2 sisters and a few internet communities (including this one). I have a very weak sense of identity and don’t feel like i culturally, ritualistically or socially belong to any country or social class. I have my history of trauma and group settings make me feel uneasy, which has also contributed to this dynamic.

I hope you get something out of this message. I wrote it with consideration and compassion, despite feeling upset. I also hope you found whatever it is you were looking for when you decided to communicate with me.

Have a good weekend.

I’m not choosing anything. I just think it would be nice to be able to choose more things without getting locked up in a cage.

I was actually referring to the freedom to be a vagabond, hermit, or whatever style of nomadic life you prefer.

What I’m implying is not having a registered legal residence does not allow you to claim some of your rights as a citizen in many countries. You can’t get a driver’s license, passport, etc in the USA. Here in Chile I’m pretty sure you can’t even pay taxes.

Ouch.

You have a promising future ahead of you, young human.

Now go out and enjoy yourself. It’s the weekend. :)

What about the freedom to not have a residence and not being locked up for the audacity of not living in a fixed location?

I’d like to hire you as my attorney. What are your rates?

imo all empires are built over the hunched, broken backs of many, many slaves. With any luck it might be robots in the future, i guess.

Ok so are you saying that if I lock someone in a cage and make them do everything I want, under the conditions I want them to, and if they do not comply, they will face brutal punishment and i do this during their entire life… But I have no legal ownership over this captive person (which i PROMISE is hypothetical), it’s cool cause if I look at a dictionary, they’re not a slave?

I love how you think. You’re gonna go places, friend.

Have a blessed weekend.

Good luck!
