On Elephant Seals

Something over at GNXP.

I wonder how the modern world - the vastness of it, has changed this. I recall a fact that historically, 40% of men have reproduced and 80% of women. I do be thinking what it is today.

Things that will hurt alpha reproduction:

Paternity tests: betas are now much wiser to the cuckoldry threat. Women who use this tactic are taking a giant risk.
Birth Control: alpha's like random sex. The act itself, they never really cared about the result. There is no "fitness gain" to amassing a pile of sexual partners anymore.

Things that are helping alpha reproduction:

The Welfare State: free cash for single mothers specifically, but the whole rotten system really. Women now marry the taxpayer instead of a "beta" husband. They get knocked up by pump-n-dumpers... not correlated 100% with alphaness of course, but still.
Modern technology: planes, phones, myspace, the whole trottin-round-the-track lot. The stories I have heard of players meeting girls on myspace. you wouldn't believe.
The modern woman: The Beast Unleashed!!!! A billion girls pounding toward the cities of the West, from all over, every-frickin-where: Foul Arabia, Old & New Europe, Latin America, they come and come, Gorbachev's cute, apple-faced offspring out from the gulag, and now all clawing. Clawing I tell you! Themselves and each other!! to nab that one... ALPHA MAN. And if they can't get him, and they can't, they're willing to share. That's the culture, no!!!??? And the MEN just wait and fish. Oh mercy. The true female nature unleashed. It's elephant seal land baby!!!
Western Culture: It's true essence kept underwrap until now, like a sleeping dragon. But the romeo-and-juliet revolution is now blossomed fully! Little dandelions of love here and there. Love is now an emotion!! Mind rubbish!!! Garbage you kill yourself over. And what does that mean my little dumplings!?/ Well, it's effects pertain mainly to the female. Yes the women. Love and women, women and love, what a pair!!!

You see, here's what I seeeee... all the world and all the ways at all the times organised the pair in the best of ways for the longest of days. Oy, gimmie a breath... ok... but then came the romeo-and-juliet state-break, and then love became the Most. Important. Thing. A triumph for freedom, Sam himself said so!! Ok great... but vat ist love? Love was a kind of activity, you grew to love someone as you lived with them and faced all the toughness of the world. It wasn't so much an emotion as an activity. But then the west came up with a grand new idea: love became an emotion, something just felt: mind garbage. "I love you", and it's opposite "I don't feel it anymore"... the emotional mind garbage, and the end of the emotion mind garbage. Love my friends. Love, love, love.

But here's the key: is this not the female idea of love? All feeling and fluff? Comes whenever and leaves soon after.

In all the books and stories of the west women desire the alphas, the alpha's the hero, the ALPHA CAUSES THE MIND GARBAGE. All the books, and then the movies etc, all this building up in the female brain, buttressed by technology, all this pent up need for The Alpha, waiting, waiting, waiting to burst like a volcano and spew out over the fucking planet. And then it did. The 1960's came and went. Women unleashed!!!! The great story of our time. Alphas were besieged, bombarded by these hordes clawing on their doors.

You see it is not the alpha who is the true agressor. No, it is the female-s pursuing him.

The outcome of all these scrapping genetic packages?

A thousand years of stony elephant seal coupling, and a boundless line of rough beasts slouching towards the dole office.
