What did you do with your weekend? I spent mine finding the cures for Marxism and divorce.

Peer pressure is the direct result of Ss being punished for their failures (C dominance) rather than being rewarded for their successes (D dominance).

I am a geyser of ideas almost no one cares about – yet. I know I repay effort, and I know of particular individuals who are repaid by the time they invest in my ideas. My take is that the leading edge of the idea of self-adoration will be propitious for the few people surfing that wave, but it’s a very blue ocean out there right now.

Here are a few notes from my weekend’s work:

I’ve always known that Mothertongue is animal in origin. It’s how you talk to your dog, for goodness’ sake. But now I can show how it works – and why it is always at work.

This chart contains within it the secret to fixing every broken relationship in your life. I don’t think anyone takes me seriously yet, but my take is that the implication of that chart is a complete and final cure for tyranny.

All my libertarian friends are ass-backwards about everything – just like everyone else. Moral goodness is a perfectible praxis, but it is also the essential ingredient to a happy home life, and it is therefore the _sine qua non_ of a free and peaceful civilization.

Here’s an exercise for an idle grad student:

Proposed: The idea of ‘other-direction’ Riesman noted in The Lonely Crowd was the wave-like consequence of changing from D-focused to C-focused education ideas at around the turn of the Twentieth Century.

The Ss were changed in their emotional habits by this philosophical shift, changing from diligent producers of D values to fearful fountains of C errors – a meaningful distinction between inner- and other-directed.

Ds and Cs are both inherently inner-directed, Is inherently other-directed. The change Riesman notes could only be among Ss, and the change is the direct result of Ss being punished for their failures (C dominance) rather than being rewarded for their successes (D dominance).

Shorter statement: Peer pressure is caused by public schools and their rent-seeking employees.

Implication: Marxism is sustained by peer pressure.

It won’t be me who does it, but that’s a researchable proposition – and the kind of deep empathy for the machine that comes easy for me right now.

I bring you a brand new word, and the key to fixing all of your relationships enduringly:

Dyspossibility. What can other people – even others of my same DISC type – never give me enough of?

Vide:

D: Productivity
I: Fascination
S: Commitment
C: Compliance

One or more futile dyspossibilities is what’s broken your relationships. This will end up being the cure for divorce.

The reason why you hate your job? It’s in this chart:

My take on all of this?

If you understand any part of what I am saying and you are paying attention to anything else – why?
