Biologists, neurologists, evolutionary psychologists, and ethologists have long recognized parent and child instincts in the form of parents’ urge to caretake and protect juveniles

wtf-am-i-reading

This Jungian differentiation between the motives of infantile child archetype, and youthful puer archetype respectively, leads me to reject psychopathologising of the puer impulse

cat-confused

Perhaps those early observations by Jung and Freud make sense when you consider the concerns of the ‘marginalized’ wokists today who champion multiple genders, non-binarism, bisexuality, transgenderism etc. and aggressively demand to be taken care of.

I know its not the same guy, but I'm going to believe this is the Peter Wright that wrote the article.

Jung - cursed

Freud - cursed

Evolutionary psychology - I'd call it the most cursed academic field, except it's not an academic field, no one in the social sciences considers it legitimate, and they mostly just sit around dreaming up "evolutionary" justifications for social and political situations that have existed for a few hundred years at most.

Cursed, cursed, cursed.

I am confused by the references to dog shit, but i recognize this trap and will not try to alleviate my confusion by reading this.

Evopsych and Econ are competing for the title of most not-science glorified astrology taught in universities

Proposal: we co-opt evopsych and publish a bunch of papers about the evolutionary default being communism. Neurodivergence, gender and sexual minorities, etc, all exist to increase the diversity of human populations, since from an evolutionary perspective, diversity is strength. The more diversity the better. Sex evolved solely to generate diversity. Evopsych should be ours.
