Is this a perfect solution? No. You could join one of the existing patriarchal communities, but you must live by their slavish morality.

If you won't join a herd and you can't make existing families patriarchal, then you have to act on the only effective solution available, which is to make a community without females.

To answer the question of who should start it: it must be males--single males who don't have females or children to anchor them to the current society. They make a community, and when they are thriving, females will appear.

I was thinking about the conversation on the MC about how do you start a community, and you need something other than ideology that binds people. You need a common culture, a religion or particular practice, and a philosophy that can bind people.

I am convinced more and more that while accuracy in models about the world is critical, the acceptance of roles based on those models is what most people need to know that they are happy.

This meme lord created a version of the Tucker/Putin interview, but it's Dagoth Ur instead of Putin:

He kept it going for the full hour.
Good Dagorth Ur memes are great.

Feedback and discussion is encouraged.

TLDR TLDR:

Want to maintain higher T-levels? Do manly things, and leave the baby stuff to your female.

TLDR:
The authors of the study are trying to form causal link where one doesn't exist to conclude that males who have children have lower T.

This gives the headline for journalists to write headlines like the original article: "Men's Testosterone Drops Steeply When Baby Arrives" and tradcon-adjacent sites to say things like "Raising human offspring is such an effort that it is cooperative by necessity, and our study shows that human fathers are biologically wired to help with the job."

... but they push that this "could indicate an anticipatory psychological component to men's T decline around the time of birth of their children"

Then they state that their results are consistent with another study of multiple bird species that show drops in T-levels for fathers that help raise their young.

I checked that study about birds, and they state, "polygynous males appear less responsive to social environmental cues than are monogamous males"

This steep drop was 26-34%, but this was also among new fathers who reported >=3 hours of child care per day compared to fathers who weren't involved in child care. Additionally, there are other studies cited in the paper that indicate that fathers who do not participate in child care have higher T-levels. There appears to be a correlation with the amount of childcare a man provides and his T-levels...

It took a bit more digging, but I found the original study:

I went down a bit of a rabbit hole this morning studying male reactions to becoming fathers, and I found this article that cites a study that states that males who have higher testosterone are more likely to become fathers, but after all males studied became fathers their T-levels dropped sharply though temporarily.

They study authors concluded that the drop is caused by the need to adjust: "having a newborn baby require many emotional, psychological and physical adjustments"...

I would highly recommend watching this latest video from Marcus.

If anyone hasn't read Might Is Right by Ragnar Redbeard (the 1896 edition), I would recommend reading Nietzsche's works first: at least Antichrist if not On the Genealogy of Morals. Ragnar is a bit verbose and rather bellicose seemingly without the subtlety of Nietzsche. I may have more updates as I continue reading.

I am continuing my work. I keep finding interesting things that I want to say and then have to edit.

@Tfmonkey @VooDooMedic @mrhorsetwat A point about boomers wanting in-office work (from the Saturday show): It's not just boomers--it's females too. The refrain I've heard is that the office is good for communication and team-building.

This really means that females just want to talk and not work. If you want to see someone's face to read body language, we have web cams.

I think the true reasons for pushing office work are for local tax breaks on corporate space and females in leadership.
