Postcards from the Age of Reason shares his thoughts on a certain hierarchical taxonomy:
Vox’s Socio-Sexual Hierarchy (SSH) is a taxonomy concerning male interaction. It was derived from his observations and penned during the Game discovery era of males attempting to ascertain and share the labyrinths of the female psyche. The SSH is one of the most important tools in predicting male behavior and is a necessity if one wishes to navigate the world of men as we order each other, with any sense of the interactions involved. Its predictive power is astonishing and I hold it to levels of usefulness just under those The Philosopher himself penned.
I do not have much to add, as there is constant, ongoing discovery and useful insights at Vox’s Sigma Game Substack here:
I will, however, offer advice to those who vehemently reject the concepts outright:
1) It is intuitive to all.
Be it women, low status men, or high status men, everyone recognizes the hierarchy when exposed to it. Women can sniff out low status vs. high status like bloodhounds on the hunt. Men work out the pyramid more exactly, and as such, we have the various ranks. We all intuit the SSH rather young, but Vox’s taxonomy classified the broad patterns more concretely and into a useful system.
2) The SSH is wholly rejected by the mainstream.
This is one telltale sign of the truthfulness or usefulness of whatever is being rejected. The mainstream is opposed to whatever goes against their goals. Game, and the SSH are villainized in the mainstream, leading them huge credence towards their validity. They really do not want Western males recognizing the factors involved in this great game.
Read the whole thing there. I tend to agree with him that there is likely significance to be found in the instinctive and critical reaction to this particular taxonomy that is entirely missing with regards to pretty much all other taxonomies. If it was all just nonsensical labeling of random individuals, or “astrology for men” as some would have it, would there be so many strongly emotional reactions to it?
