Why teach Shakespeare in school

People have chosen Shakespeare for school. It has a lot of sex and violence (like just about any popular story), but it's so out of date with language that it's hard to read. I believe this is why it's so popular. The language naturally makes it so stupid people (who would be offended more) can't read it, and those smart enough to read it won't be offended anyway (smart people aren't offended by such things). It's like when Newton wrote in Latin so he wouldn't have to deal with stupid people getting upset or putting him in prison (as with Galileo).

Men and women mate selection

Women use a set of inputs to determine if a man is a suitable mate. It's difficult to quantify with a number, but you can imagine about 100. Examples are height, symmetry, geometric properties of face, muscles, posture, problem solving ability, speech clarity, interaction with children, ability to take care of a plant. They also check indications of interest. Does the man think about her, consider her well being, exhibit jealousy (this can be a positive indicator). A woman needs to check all of these before investing time in having a child with a man (in the stone age). However a man does not really. He only needs to mate with fertile women, so his checks are different.

Best song lyrics are porn

Best song lyrics are porn written with words that are ambiguous so you can interpret everything in a slightly different nonporno way. This satisfies the desire everyone has for porn without setting off any major alarms in the minds of people who ostensibly consider porn a bad thing.

Example: Johnny Cash's I'm on Fire

Maintaining oppressive regimes

it's more difficult to maintains lies as most dictatorships do now that the internet and social media is so advanced. The one remaining way to control people is the oldest, through belief and religion.

Religion goes beyond terrorism

Religion goes beyond terrorism by injecting the motivating fear directly into people's minds so that people become their own victims. Terrorists can be identified as an outside threat, but a religion person feels fear that ingrained within them.

Limitation of online profile for dating

Problem with an online profile is that the natural way to learn about a person is in stages. You can't process all information at once (if that's what's in the profile) and you can't make it interesting without putting in the stuff that wouldn't be learned until later.

The testing that women do in a relationship (sh*t testing)

Women are programmed to test you if you are in a relationship with them. They probably don't even do it based on careful thought. They just do it. They will consider problems with the relationship or with you, and see what happens. As long as the problems are manageable, and you want the relationship, you should work through these problems. The woman may still love you even if she is performing these tests that seem critical. This behavior probably evolved because women need some way to ensure that a man will stay with her through the good and the bad, that he will take a lead in staying with her. (Similar to using ultrasound to perturb a plate while you are electroplating it in liquid. Only the pieces that stick really hard will stick at all.)
