any ideology really is a big 00:18:56 antidote to vulnerability because now we have an answer to everything and uh now we're we can justify whatever we do we don't have to be vulnerable we don't to look at the truth 00:19:10 so the ideologies are very seductive and and and they work like like the addict is in denial of the problem that he's creating for himself let alone for other people 00:19:23 that a person who is connected or addicted to an ideology will be in denial of the harm being done to themselves and particularly to others so yes i think it's useful to talk about 00:19:37 [Music] ideology as addictive

Triggers of women’s jealousy and mate guarding, as a consequence, should focus heavily on signals of these kinds of losses, such as a man becom-ing emotionally involved with another woman. Emo-tional involvement is a signal of the long-term com-mitment of resources to the partner with whom one is involved [15]. Sexual and emotional infi delity in a partner, of course, are correlated in nature [16]. People tend to become emotionally involved with those with whom they have sex. And people often become sexually involved with those they are emotionally close to.

For men, a single failure at mate guarding could result in genetic cuckoldry, as happens when man’s wife becomes fertilized by a rival man’s sperm. In addition to the direct loss of opportunity for reproduction, the husband risks investing years or decades of his own effort in a rival’s child in the mis-taken believe that the child is his own. To compound these reproductive losses, his wife’s maternal efforts now benefi t his rival’s child rather than his own. Fur-thermore, if the lapse becomes public, the cuckolded man risks damage to his social reputation, which could bring about a decrement in mate value, a loss of sta-tus, and an increased future vulnerability to other mate poachers. Finally, the cuckolded man suffers opportu-nity costs – matings that he could have pursued as alter-natives had he not engaged in this particular mateship. Large are the potential reproductive costs of a single lapse of mate guarding.

One common strategy is the concealment of mates from intrasexual competitors [4]. Concealment is usually accomplished through one of three means –removing the mate from the vicinity of rivals, produc-ing signals that mask the attractant signals of the mate, and muting the conspicuousness of courting and copu-lation to evade detection by rivals.

All these confl icts occur because the deploy-ment of a successful reproductive strategy by one individual can interfere at multiple points with the reproductive strategy pursued by the other – a phenomenon called “strategic interference” [2].

Definitely the mate is the most fundamental intellectual aim, I was wandering from the beginning if that was a mate hahah. How is it that you are drinking mate? I’m guessing you are not from Argentina since you speak and write in english and for english-speaking students… Also, I really like this series about the zettelkasten, you explain things clearly and with great humor. I like videos like this one where you show the actual process.
