I wonder if the lack of honor among men downstream from oral culture could be eliminated by changing the structure of online media. What if we had a social network that was one hundred percent text, had a 500-word posting minimum, and forbade deletion of content?

Only autistic racists would use it prob lol

I think substack is the best you could get under present conditions that would have enough women to keep normie dudes around

Brilliant. This is a principle that men of all tribes can embrace - to our collective benefit, and that of humanity more broadly. Btw, in my feverish youth I sometimes employed “cheap defection” - and it turns my stomach to this day.

4) Honor absolutely does affect dealings with women. That is because the purpose of competition is to prove dangerousness, and it follows that the only allowed form of violence is a duel-like open confrontation between men of roughly equal strength. Every other form of violence is not allowed, as it proves nothing.
