While I agree with very little of it, I got at least one thing from listening to it-- a better understanding of the people who are revolted by claims of victimhood. There's a lot of "Women say they are victims, but men are the victimiest victims!".
I would love to see more of "there are a lot of predatory people and social structures that make predation easier, but it doesn't shake out in simple ways by group." I'm going to have to look for that sort of thing somewhere else.
It's possible that the meek will inherit the earth in the sense that those who are most susceptible to superstimuli and status-seeking will be bred out, and people who settle for moderately attractive mates, avoid all-consuming activities, and raise children will have a large reproductive advantage. It won't be the meekest of the meek, either-- they're the ones who give up because they aren't winning at the superstimuli games.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
