Rcent guy @ warehouse got himself a trad-GF,
Latina, little formal education.
Swung by the warehouse the other day, w/ fresh lunchies.
Tp4 watched with envy, as cowrukr ate his home made meal, while Tp4 drank from a soda can and ate Costco Pitas w/quQbrr and hummus
Then Tp4 thought, u know, Intelligence is a function of genetics, you're as smart as you're ever going to be the moment you are born, absent blunt force trauma 2 the head, ala Tp4.
It actually makes alot of sense in terms of old-societies "Stabilizing" relationships heavy-handed-ly by not educating women.
Education merely creates flight risk, reduced population.
Outside of the ruling class, engineering class, can't see why it would be necessary.
We look at India which has a caste system, problems, violence, YES, but THEY ARE INCREDIBLY ENERGY EFFICIENT.
In times, when resources are scarce, human labor "is" the least energy intensive, as Food conversion efficiency to work is alot better than Motors/Engines.
Since we're headed into economic depression for at least 20-50 years.
It DOES SOMEWHAT support the Maga argument for Oppressing women.
You have a Wife, vs Wife with Hobbies /Options /Drivers license (SUV), 1 of the 2 will consume significantly more FUEL. Fuel which we no longer have.
Hormvz is 33% of all Diesel. Babalmendab is another 10%, We're looking at 10-20% maximum recovery into the foreseeable future, this is already set. Stuff got blown up, what wasn't blown up is significantly damaged. All surrounding won't see significant investment due to Perceived Risk, Ultra-SLOW RECOVERY, IF EVER.
Is it possible to fully scale this kind of oppression in this era, with enough violence and hunger, anything is possible, but the Transition cost may not be bearable.
