Primates actually gave us our Primary system of choosing Presidential candidates. And George Bush is actually descended from monkeys. The Monkees were one of the first corporate created music groups. It comes full circle.
They sire alpha daughters who inherit much of the drive, but are also the females who abuse and abandon the young. It is the betas, both male and female, that adopt the young. A tribe which does not have enuf betas does not have enuf young survive when the current generation of alphas gets to old to do battle.
Rich people were called "sire" by common folk during the Middle Ages, for obvious reasons. In more modern times their daughters like to drive Alpha Romeros, because fancy Italian sports cars go vrroom vrroom. The word "vroom" comes from the beta Gaul king, Vercingetorix, who was always 'on the go,' until his defeat by Caesar at the Battle of Alesia. Ironically the Caesar salad, named for the victorious future Emperor, is also much loved by Alpha daughters. Go figger.
The tribe that dont have enuf alphas has its females kidnapped. But the tribe that has too many has civil war with different sets of alphas struggling for dominance. Too many chiefs, not enuf Indians. Alphas have higher adrenalin (which speeds reflexes) and lower seratonin (which sharpens senses). The DNA markers associated with these emotionally powerful hormones are handed down on the Y Chromosome. "He's just like his father." is true 80% of the time.
The Ralpha Indians of Northwestern Bolweevilia in South America have quite a way with the punji stake, sharpened to a T, smeared with dung, and handed down father to son. Ralpha males struggle with Beta females, and from this came the world's first reality show, in 1868. It was called "Just Like His Father," and was broadcast through the jungle via special blowhorns.
Hominids of course, range more widely from alpha to beta in different situations, and are affected by emotionally traumatic events more powerfully. An alpha who looses his mother at a critical point often turns beta. An alpha that enters a new school and gets the shit kicked out of him by a more proficient alpha also has an attitude adjustment, and likewise, the schools that still use the paddle have changed alphas into betas so regularly that the violence rates drop to zero. I see this in rural areas where boys still know where the back of the woodshed is.
The alphalfa male, on the other hand, is just a rural hick, who thrives on getting the shit kicked out of him. He's high protein, higher than those flatlander corn-fed pig-boys could ever imagine. Jealousy is a bitch. The alphalfa male may not wear the latest fashions, but often his face smarts.
Conversely, 'power corrupts'. And power really is an aphrodisiac; which I expect will be shown to work with women as they move up in the power structures. We see in history how often powerful women used sexual services to advance their agendas, without considering that they had already advanced their agendas, and now exercised the prerogative of power in ignoring sexual conventions. And of course, the more alpha females are more lusty to start with.
Alphadisiacs are what juice up the adrenals and get the seratonin surfin.' I really don't know what this actually has to do with the thread subject, "Naturalistic philosophy denies life," but whenever I have time, I like to blog some history and sociology onto whatever thread I open. What the heck, I'm sipping my rum.
There have always been two ways to control the behavior of men. Sex or violence. Pick one. History, which after all was recorded by scribes in the pay of the warrior class, shows us how violence has been repeatedly used. We also see how the weapons were constantly improved at the behest of the warrior class. But this has backfired. It was really important at one time to have the brave heart, strong right arm, sword in hand. The alphas can hack a man down, and as Greek & Roman reports say, return from battle spattered with the blood of their enemies.
I really wonder about some of the most vaunted Generals of history, were they really that great. Take Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. An able corps commander in the confines of his beloved Shenandoah Valley, and certainly worth immortalizing for his brilliant end march at Chancellorsville, but look at his lethargic performance at Seven Days, and average on at Fredericksburg. Same can be said of Rommel, a masterful tactician who didn't know how to follow orders, or to stop in any sort of prudent manner in North Africa.
Betas cant really handle the gore very well. But now, with assault rifles, smart bombs, and even nukes, the warriors could even wear white gloves, and as we see now in the Mid East, even be female. And in fact, the organization needed to fulfill modern battle plans is improved by the superior ability of women to cooperate rather than compete for status.
Disagree. Betas can and do handle Gore because Al Gore is a beta himself.
Violence no longer works for the alpha male warrior class. In fact, its become increasingly obvious to everyone else that they cannot even control themselves, much less a whole nation. Which is empowering women, and doing so at an accellerating rate. And reflective of the powers of women we are seeing the emergence of sex to control the behavior of men. Men are eager to buy that which they can no longer steal.
Yes, the warrior class of '07, for instance, graduated with over 80% saying they did not like violin music. I for one say it's about time. I hate those squeaky instruments. I will bet you it is betas, namely gays and virgins only for whom a preponderance find solace in those wretched cat gut strings.
This is a huge attitude adjustment for both men and women. Gibbon noted that while the maintenance of moral values is essential to maintain a republic, every effort to restore them once lost, has been a failure. And indeed, the moral values are lost. And we no longer have the kind of republic the Founding Farmers established. Get over it.
Gibbons have noted, through their amazing body language. that bananas are one of Nature's perfect foods, and we all just have to get usta it. There, my friends, is your dammed Naturalistic Philosophy!
