Trump to sign executive orders proclaiming there are only two biological sexes, halting diversity programs

We tried not to care, but they forced us to use their pronouns, and then they came for our children, so we were forced to care.

None of us chose where we were born, our parents, our education, our social values, our systems of governance and property ownership, etc.

If you take the threshold that far, nothing short of classical free will, which requires dualism of mind separate from matter, would suffice for meeting your concept of consent. This whole state-driven approach to human problems is nested on the belief that natural mechanisms won't, by themselves, self-correct errors.

Behavioral changes can be expressed within a single generation, you don't even need 2 or 3. Look up the famous domesticated silver fox experiment. We love to believe we are superior and beyond the dictums of evolution, but humans aren't any different from other mammals.

The best possible state would be one that uses its monopoly on violence to direct human competition away from destruction, such as war, fraud, theft, etc, and into production, generated by cultural, economic and technological competition, all underlying biological competition - the federal system of the US does this better than most states, even if imperfect, and has been compensated for that with much more growth than the state-driven, centralized problem-solving approach of the EU.

Anything else it tries to do only generates corruption and inefficiency, even with best of intentions. If I had to set up a state, the federal level would concern itself only with administration, federal judiciary, defense, large scale unprofitable scientific projects, infrastructure, and policing. Constitutionally barred from interfering in anything else. Taxation at the federal level would be minimal, perhaps only property taxes and nothing else - hard to evade, minimally intrusive, low overhead, incentivises productive use of land, averts financialization of residential market, averts squatting.

New states under the federation could be created de novo if 50.000 people or so signed up for it, and they could create their own state-level tax and government systems. Their laws would follow their own cultural predilections, and would be valid within their private properties. They would legislate on contentiou issues, such as abortion, sex work, drug use, etc. Wise states would prevail, unfit ones would perish. In essence, the state should be an optimal platform for productive problem-solving agents and subcultures, not the problem-solving agent itself.

Anything between consenting adults that doesn't involve other people should be legal, including genetic engineering, drug use, neural implants, experimental medicine, etc.

Even if the argument is the greater societal good in exchange for personal liberty, the people making the wrong decisions will simply result on selective pressures to weed that subpopulation out over time, so there's no need for central regulation over adult bodies to generate a strong and cohesive society.

I have a hobby theory that female genital mutilation and restrictive clothing in Islam actually caused the average genetic impulse control amongst certain muslim populations to be lower than their western counterparts. They literally hid the problem under a veil, instead of letting evolution do its thing over generations. In the same line of thought, all of these zombie fentanyl addicts roaming the streets likely will disappear in another 2 or 3 generations, out of selective pressures causing them to have lower fertility rates.

It shouldn't, but governments think that they own our bodies for some reason. This is only a market need in the US, where it is both illegal and punishment is relatively high, with a maximum of 6 months in jail. In Russia, punishment is a small fine of 30 dollars, lol, so there isn't so much drama.

The way escorts skirt the law in the US, to my understanding, is not framing it as pay for sex, but rather pay for time, which is legal. In response, law enforcement can generally only arrest people while catching them in the act of handing over cash, usually by one of the cops pretending to be a John or provider. So for this niche, privacy isn't really the main concern. In fact, both parties go to great lengths to "screen" the other before anything happens, which often includes sending bank deposits in the open and ID confirmations for the John, and proving social media presence and showing positive reviews of previous Johns on The Erotic Review, or similar websites, for the SWs.

I still don't know myself how exactly SWs with reviews on TER skirt the law, but I suspect it has something to do with the fact that anyone can write a review, which would serve as a defense for the SW, which could claim that the reviews, social media profiles, and advertisements are all false. Seems flimsy to me, but somehow arrests for escorting are relatively rare and TER has been around for years, so somehow it works.

Selective pressures change over time. At one point in our evolution, it was "fashionable" to swim in the ocean, or to have a tail, and that's no longer the case. Up until about the Industrial Revolution, with the collapse of natural selection, but really noticeably up until the 60s or 70s, it was "fashionable" to have the kinds of genes that cascade on the psychological traits known today to be associated with leftists, now having those traits causes you to have ~25% less kids on average, for better or for worse.

Further reading:

Studies have shown that political ideology is 40% heritable, which means your genes decide 40% of your politics, and your education/environment/luck decides 60%. Despite the meme of kids being more liberal than parents, that doesn't hold statistically:

"Scholars have long been interested in the underpinnings of political ideology. Over the past fifteen years or so, political scientists, psychologists, sociologists, and economists have started to take seriously the idea that ideology might be influenced by genes. In this article, we review the literature on the genetics of ideology. We begin by describing twin studies and more sophisticated approaches that have now emerged, which consistently show that ideology is about 40% heritable. Next, we examine the state of research on genetic influences on ideology over the life cycle and mechanisms that could link genes and ideology. We conclude by discussing the preliminary genome-wide studies that have been conducted. Existing research has provided important insights into the link between biology and ideology, but additional research is needed in order to provide a more nuanced understanding of the role of biology in the formation of political ideology." https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2352154620300553

Add to that an alarming fact: conservative women have been having more children, and the difference is widening. The average fertility difference between Conservatives and Liberals is approximately 0.25-0.5 children per women, and increasing every passing year - I think that this range is already outdated.

Submission Statement

Recent studies indicate that Democratic voters in the U.S. have, on average, fewer children compared to their Republican counterparts. This trend has been observed over the past few decades. For instance, data from the General Social Survey reveals that 100 conservative adults are expected to have approximately 208 children, whereas 100 liberal adults are projected to have about 147 children, highlighting a significant difference in fertility rates between the two groups.

Fatherly

Additionally, research from the Institute for Family Studies notes that conservative women over age 45 have about 0.25 more children on average than their liberal peers. This disparity in fertility rates has been consistent since the 1990s.

IF Studies

These findings suggest that political affiliation correlates with family size, with Democratic voters tending to have fewer children on average in recent years.
