Since there is a nightmare outside the sleep dream.

I do not divide humanity up from any data. Either way the transistion to early human in Africa, that then dispersed to meet up with proto-early human clusters from much earlier dispersals, is our origin. The modern human, us, emerges from those contacts. My point was that though the biology of the body in regard to parasites is very interesting, and more to do with the evolution of parasites, there is nothing that can squeeze down the brain of anything to one symbiotic or dependent on parasites - excepting other biomic links especially around the pituitary. There are no divisions in the human race that are not individual. Differences are from chance practices and chemical environments. Those differences are no different from mere familial six generation chromosomal shuffles.
I'm not read up enough to give all that a supporting lexicon.

The fascism that weans wishes for racial distinctions is the childishness of trying to appeal to, and imitate, elders that have evaded a need to learn. Such a child aspires to the state of blanketing out edification, having a system, that attends to maintaining ignorance, surround them and distinguish them as superior. One can speculate at the varieties of experience that would compell such a stasis.

Strange Attractions

I'd guess the deadly pursuit is due to my guestimation abilities, and the provisional hypotheses I then deconstruct.
Aside from the various abuses I've received since being born of Tiger Bay (a euphemism as I've no kick gained from all this ethno-identity fashion) and no doubt tracked by Vatican systems, force majeure grants too much that ignores the medium... Aside from that the big issue, that has retired me from life in general, is that I succumbed - so the complaint that alcohol makes me passive to atmospheres (empathetic in the original Lotze definition) - to neurotics with ambiguous reliance on an atmosphere of violence. Hence the icon that Picasso defends in the Mammoth 8 platform.

I have always been pro-women - and wonder if this astonishes the fascists so much that they think I'd take their side as a substitute if they can damage all my relations with women - I'm pro trans though am not exactly surprised that male trans are not considered so friendly in some persons experiences. Always. Think about that. Same with hostility to racism (I remark on Nation-State valorisation of "tradition" etc that makes for idiocy, no question) animal rights and ecology. No exaggeration though some very odd interuptions that indicate that empathy as operative when exhausted by combinatorial exploitations.
Too much is imitated of the worst males shaped by the valorisations, by females. Though they to are captured by this as interuptions to all else they decide.
I detest the worst males trying to scapegoat me, or others, over their own oft familialy energised exploitations of females or males. That happens. I don't expect there's anything more than letting people live and learn, its the proximate history at work not the person where the lessons are to be found. You can't be someone else, though if your kicks are in surveillance and gaslighting you probably aren't anyone at all. You still who you are, only a name.

Intuition

The usual footnote to spontaneous entries in @247ofthat on twitter.

I claim - whilst waiting for a better term - that intuition is from memory. The above piece - I'm not knowingly a subscriber to the late philosopher - helps me argue what it is that obscures - Spinoza dodging credit to art; prefering the Turing stripes of crystallized time? - the "snobs' ESP".
Our bodies (I'm aware that I'm suspected of Cartesianism. I'm with the notion, whilst Johnathan Ree's work hasn't gotten my full attendance, that Descartes was simply as inept a materialist as the new ones are now. I think that accounts enough for the persistence of the triadism body, soul, world that it doesn't take a genius to note. Indeed the medium of theartre, its simulcration by the novel, makes Descartes just a typical inferentialist trying to sell an instrumentalism?) are more than the human has ever been, as each to their own. This stimulation, holobiontic expansion, haptic immediacy, hyperrealism (I do owe some credit to Eco  for my early acquitance with partitioning off consumerist spirits (to paraphrase Keynes and new-ageism that also persists - I have a spirit algorithm, maybe) has left me challenged for a simile. That's clutter of representations, nothing new to the human. Consider Ockham, Scotus and others. It is striking that Augustine is the one who claims an autobiographic memory, and the body is its tension. That's to say - I don't doubt some Shakespeare is evading me; Why wouldn't it be Cymbeline rather than Titus Andronicus? - the drift that the New Historicism has dessicated into anti-woke new (old) conservative leftish like Fabian Hobbesians with flotsam began on this matter that is a serious problem in Marx's "science", the way of the flesh etc, is what our progress - human - is all of only: technology. A different dialectic, synthesis (that old trinity) has held us in a cognitive stance that, at least we are better for getting what body does, shuffles through representations. So to the point: the body so has become a technology.
At the end of that point I insist that intuition is from our memory, not "imagination" and not symbolic dependent as much as breaking symbols is the next step, that first step that makes a difference...

Lila R Gleitman's conclusions are interesting in respect of shattering the Mirror-Stage fixation (something that Marc Hauser, of regrettable circumstances maybe to near to truth, also got caught in?). I also note Critical Theorist Andrew Feenberg who remains in action as a wanderer in the shadow of progress, though I'm still to catch up with that turn out of the Marxist cul-de-sac.

Anyways. My hourly thought, after every minute on ecological crises, you bet, is with the power game played on the people of Afghanistan. Tip, China and Saud are quite the pals and the US would get post-Putin Russia out of this mess. I don't dismiss Biden has the Pentagon geared to an outcome that is may be provoked by Taliban stupidity. The situation is terrifying for Afghans.
