      Also useful for weight loss as it converts white fat (adipose) cells into brown and beige adipose cells which are useful fat cells used for heat generation, stored around the neck and clavicle. This is done through a process of thermogenesis.

    1. Triggers of women’s jealousy and mate guarding, as a consequence, should focus heavily on signals of these kinds of losses, such as a man becom-ing emotionally involved with another woman. Emo-tional involvement is a signal of the long-term com-mitment of resources to the partner with whom one is involved [15]. Sexual and emotional infi delity in a partner, of course, are correlated in nature [16]. People tend to become emotionally involved with those with whom they have sex. And people often become sexually involved with those they are emotionally close to.

      Emotional involvement is a good predictor for infidelity. Sex and emotional involvement are intertwined in opposite-sex relationships.

    2. For men, a single failure at mate guarding could result in genetic cuckoldry, as happens when man’s wife becomes fertilized by a rival man’s sperm. In addition to the direct loss of opportunity for reproduction, the husband risks investing years or decades of his own effort in a rival’s child in the mis-taken believe that the child is his own. To compound these reproductive losses, his wife’s maternal efforts now benefi t his rival’s child rather than his own. Fur-thermore, if the lapse becomes public, the cuckolded man risks damage to his social reputation, which could bring about a decrement in mate value, a loss of sta-tus, and an increased future vulnerability to other mate poachers. Finally, the cuckolded man suffers opportu-nity costs – matings that he could have pursued as alter-natives had he not engaged in this particular mateship. Large are the potential reproductive costs of a single lapse of mate guarding.

      In humans, costs of failure at mate guarding are higher in males. I believe costs in females have been higher in the past, but current laws on child-support have reduced female costs considerable (except for the ability to attract new partners)

    3. One common strategy is the concealment of mates from intrasexual competitors [4]. Concealment is usually accomplished through one of three means –removing the mate from the vicinity of rivals, produc-ing signals that mask the attractant signals of the mate, and muting the conspicuousness of courting and copu-lation to evade detection by rivals.

      The most common strategy is concealing a mate from rivals. Is this the standard strategy for the partner with lower sexual market value?

    4. All these confl icts occur because the deploy-ment of a successful reproductive strategy by one individual can interfere at multiple points with the reproductive strategy pursued by the other – a phenomenon called “strategic interference” [2].

      Differences in reproductive strategies between the sexes create an environment for infidelity, mate poaching, and other conflicts.

    1. Definitely the mate is the most fundamental intellectual aim, I was wandering from the beginning if that was a mate hahah. How is it that you are drinking mate? I’m guessing you are not from Argentina since you speak and write in english and for english-speaking students… Also, I really like this series about the zettelkasten, you explain things clearly and with great humor. I like videos like this one where you show the actual process.

      Process is important and I suspect we need more concrete examples for people to see. I'm reminded of Andy Matuschak's note taking live stream a while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGcs4tyey18 though some editing, time compression, and inserted images can make it a bit more interesting than watching paint dry.

      Anecdotally, I feel like mate has become at least marginally more popular in the United States in the last few years, or at least enough to enter the consciousness of the cultural zeitgeist at a liminal level.
