Filial Piety / Patriarchy in China and Taiwan

Historically, China has ALWAYS been a Patriarchal culture.  ALWAYS!  (Up until about 80-100 years ago, as I’ll get to in the next post.)  That’s what Filial Piety (xiào, 孝) is all about.  I repeat, Filial Piety IS Chinese Patriarchy.  The Chinese character, 孝, depicts a social context in which the entire family is collectively tied to the land (土), where the family holds authority over the son (子), but the land is sacrificed for the son (represented by the slash through 土).  It is implied that the son should be thankful for the unearned and unlimited favor he receives from the father and family.  In practice, this arrangement is quid pro quo, meaning that the more humble and grateful the son is to the father and family, the more favor and honor he shall receive.

Filial Piety is not that far removed from the Biblical model of Patriarchy.  This fully explains why Filial Piety / Chinese Patriarchy is THE reason why Chinese culture has endured for thousands of years.

A Visit to Jeju Island, South Korea

NOT what I expected to find!

Intro

On 2026/2/15-19, I took a 5 day vacation to Jeju Island, an autonomous province of South Korea.  This was my first time visiting this country.

I’ve heard that Jeju Island is different than mainland South Korea.  But if they are anything alike, then I’ve held a very inaccurate concept of Korea.  Seeing Korea on the ground has given me a very different impression of this country, the culture, and the people, than what I’ve held all my life before this visit.

This post documents some of my observations of Jeju Island, South Korea and gleans some epiphanies.  IMO, Korea has many positive, even God-glorifying social habits, norms, and qualities that we could learn from.

Accountability vs Conditioning

Posted on 2026/02/27 by Jack

Current forms of Operant Conditioning are encouraging immoral behaviors.

Length: 1,700 words
Reading Time: 9 minutes

Intro / Theme Summary

In summary of this series on Intersexual Dynamics, we see that both men and women are believing whatever and doing whomever will give them an immediate positive reinforcement — the biggest bang for the buck, Right F_ing NOW!

Here, both Men and Women are transacting for what is falsely perceived to be the Best Value* Immediate Reinforcement (via operant conditioning) with bidders who appear to have the highest SMV (either Real of Virtual).

* By “Best Value”, I’m not using the word ‘value’ in the sense of an ethical or moral prerogative, but rather in the sense of economics; the choice out of many options that offers…

  • The best immediate ROI
  • “The most bang for the buck”
  • The highest quality and/or most quantity for the lowest investment / price, while emphasizing the latter

In a previous post, I called this “selling out cheap“, leading to vicious Vampirism.

A sane person might ask, “But why?”

Incentives = Reinforcements = Weaknesses

Attention and Sex are Women’s and Men’s Basic Psychological Needs, Respectively

Dr. Orion Taraban nails down Attention and Sex because these things are what get the most traction with women and men, respectively.

  • Women are strongly motivated by Attention and will seldom, if ever, reject it, even from Low SMV men.
  • Men are strongly motivated by Sex and are not hardwired to ever reject it, even with Low SMV women.

We could also think of Attention and Sex not only as basic psychological needs, or the most reinforcing goods (as Taraban put it), but also as inherent weaknesses, where the intensity of this need varies on an individual basis.

  • Women who were neglected or who didn’t get enough positive Attention when they were younger will crave Attention more ravenously.
  • Men with a stronger libido and/or higher testosterone will experience mind-bending sexual desire.

Pro Tip: While this is true for both men and women, Men who hope to be successful with women should carry the assumption that a woman is weaker for him than he is for her.

Feminine Insecurity = Fear of Losing Control

Posted on 2026/02/23 by Jack

A woman who is excessively controlling, fearful, and insecure is a Red Flag, because it indicates that she’s not willing to trust a man — or God.

Intro

In the previous post, Women’s Existential Fear of The Red Pill (2026/1/28), women’s said fear is not of The Red Pill itself per se [although it is deeply offensive to their gynocentric worldview], but of Red Pill information spreading across the culture. Wider RP awareness is scary to women because it informs men exactly for what, and when, and how women are to be held accountable. It enables men to call their bluff and hold them accountable.

Accountability, as well as a lack of secrecy that would otherwise permit them to evade accountability, is women’s kryptonite, as I’ll explain in the next section.

Women also fear men, especially Christian men, talking about TRP because (1) it places a speculum over women’s shameful behaviors, and (2) it inspires men to concentrate on their own purposes and quality of life, and thus leave women behind.

A previous post, Boss + Female Employee = Steamy Hot Chemistry (2023/9/18), examined the relationship between a male boss / employer / supervisor + younger female employee and how it is a recipe for Sparks, Tingles, sexxx, and babies.

It was concluded that the Boss + Chick Employee dynamic is not only a fleshly evo-psyche trope, but it is also an archetypal relationship that conforms to God’s ordained order.  God specifically created women to be a companion and a helper to a man (Genesis 2:18; 1 Corinthians 11:8-9), among other purposes. 

The reason why these office romances blossom is because…

  • They have a shared purpose.
  • They’re working together towards that purpose.
  • The woman fulfills her God ordained purpose of being a companion and helper to a man.
  • Women’s hypergamous instinct is satisfied, which is often the key factor that makes or breaks relationship longevity.

Here, I want to address this phenomenon through the lens of boundaries, what is considered ‘professional’, and what is most practical.

Sociosexual Vampirism

Mass carnal joyrides sans the reproductive fruits leaves those jollies spoiled for their rightful use, thus producing a joyless marriage.  It also decimates the next generation.

Gender Predation / Savage Bartering / Sociosexual Vampirism

To recap:

Taraban’s Equivalency: Attention / Validation is to women what Sex is to men, and these reinforcements (a la operant conditioning) constitute the primary sociosexual currency within the economic trade model of intersexual dynamics.

Continuing our study of DeBoer’s and Taraban’s talks, the fifth takeaway is from a producer’s viewpoint: that the ‘old’ SMP / MMP (what I assume is pre-2000?) has been replaced by what DeBoer calls, “Gender Predation”; what I might less politely call “Savage Sociosexual Bartering”, or more darkly, “Sociosexual Vampirism”, which is what transactional relationships devolve into, once the traditional goals of marriage and family, and the constraints, opportunities, and responsibilities thereof have been dismissed / rejected / subsumed by a free and unregulated SMP / MMP.  This is the end game of the Sexual Revolution.

Prime Marital Windows of Opportunity

Posted on 2026/02/16 by Jack

What is the best age for men and women to marry?

Readership: All
Theme: The Christian Red Pill

Intro

This post expands a comment I left under Sharkly’s post, The Marital Window of Opportunity (2020/2/16), which cited a comment from Derek L. Ramsey (DLR) at Boxer’s place a few days earlier.

The topic was about the Age Window of Opportunity for Marriage, and it was concluded that women need to marry before the age of 25 to avail of their best opportunities to snag a high SMV/MMV man, and also to have the best chances of success in marriage.  It follows, of course, that men should also be looking to marry a virgin under 25.

Selling Out Cheap

Posted on 2026/02/13 by Jack

Mass sociosexual exchanges done at a net loss spell the degradation of society.

Intro

Before I get to the main topic of this post, I’ll summarize the archetypal dynamics and structures of intersexual relationships and the transactions thereof. Also, the paradigmatic imbalances (e.g. AF/BB, etc.) were covered in the previous post.

Taraban assumes his audience is familiar with these dynamics, structures, and transactions, and makes reference to them in his talks. He doesn’t spell this out because it is pretty well-known RP Lore and he’s gone over it in other talks. H0eMath has also summed up the dynamics very well.

But here it is — in text.

Taraban’s Equivalency Breaks Down in Marriage

Posted on 2026/02/11 by Jack

Sociosexual currency loses trade value in the economics of Marriage.

Readership: Christian Men
Theme: Current Intersexual Dynamics
Author’s Note: This essay was coauthored with Red Pill Apostle.
Length: 2,900 words
Reading Time: 15 minutes

Intro

The major point of Taraban’s thesis on Equivalencies is that intersexual transactions, including dating and marriage, are an economic exchange, where dissimilar goods of comparatively equal value are traded.  Dating is essentially an Equivalency-based trade, geared toward pairing, sexual intercourse (among seculars), and determining the feasibility of either a Short-Term or Long-Term engagement. In marriage, that trade is supposed to make both parties better off, provided that each party executes their role in the trade reasonably well, or at least makes an honest effort to do so in good faith. However, trading Equivalencies (i.e., Attention, involving the man’s time and $$$, and Sex, requiring a sacrifice of the woman’s purity) before marriage erodes the benefits provided to one’s spouse after Marriage.

The last post explained why Taraban’s Equivalencies are NOT Equivalent in relational value. However, Marriage alters the entire ontology of the exchange, thereby recasting the value of Taraban’s theoretical concepts of Equivalency in a totally different light. In Marriage, they are even more UN-Equivalent than in dating.  IMO, Taraban doesn’t go into sufficient detail about this or how this works. (Taraban has never been married.)

Today, I’ll explain how Taraban’s Equivalency is explicitly central to dating and extramarital sexual liaisons, and is only somewhat relevant in marriage, whereas DeBoer’s Gender Predation may apply to any type of intersexual relationship, unfortunately.
