How much is religious attendance a confounder with low body count? I am just guessing that people who have a low body count are substantially more likely to regularly attend religious services or gatherings, and those people tend to be happier than other people, and I think less neurotic as well. And I think I read somewhere that neuroticism has one of the strongest negative correlations with marital satisfaction. My guess is that if there is some society somewhere where body count and low neuroticism are correlated, you would see a strong positive correlation between body count and marital satisfaction.
Care to explain that one a little deeper? Crazy thing to drop for a footnote. Are you suggesting that the universe behaves deterministically according to the laws of physics, or do you believe there is a spiritual dimension to these guardrails?
I think free will is real, although I also think the vol/in dichotomy is fake. It isnβt about just having sex (hookers exist) and it isnβt just about not having a relationship (you can probably scrape someone off the gutter somewhere). Itβs more about having a fulfilling relationship with someone who is an appropriate match for you. And in that sense almost everyone is incel.
This may be a wild guess, but is Sebastian Jensen the author of the Nuance Pill Substack under an alt account? There's a lot of overlap in point of view between the two, and SJ's views on things like hereditarianism seems to line up with what NP has hinted at in the few times he's mentioned it.
Quite honestly I have a problem with the underlying model itself. That long-lasting, monogamous marriage is an obvious good or the only correct relationship model, and then just testing people's suitability for it, and framing being not well suitable for it as a failure of a kind. I think expecting relationship stability in a world where everything is unstable is not wise.
Disagree on the βhoe phase is okβ take. If weβre just going on rates of infidelity, impulsive/low-contentiousness/thrill-seeking personalities are in a league of their own, and those traits are what track with the behaviours youβre talking about.
Informative article, I would suggest not deleting it.

Yes, I also don't think the incel vs volcel dichotomy is useful because most people would want to be in a relationship with the right person

He definitely (imo) believes in secular determinism.

No but we are kindred souls
Now that I think about it I see a lot of parallels.
