Modern people tend to see religion or spirituality or whatever you wish to call it as a replacement for wisdom. They do not trust wisdom because in their view it leads to a materialistic or nihilistic view of life in which we are just more creatures struggling to adapt to our environment and our survival […]
History appears to have finally stopped. That is, the pace of relentless change has revealed that it is all surface, and underneath the twin forces of realism and individualism are still at war, with individualism winning even as it ruins just about everything. We live in a sort of precog PTSD because we know that […]
~~~ Putin and Xi no longer have a partnership of equals The Asian is the master, the Asiatic the servant, just like it was during those Golden Horde days. GOP tries to ‘correct the narrative’ on use of mailed ballots after years of conflicting messages The problem has always been ballot farming. Mail-in voting under […]
Sometime around Y2K, it became clear that what we feared in childhood had come true: Clinton had converted America into a diversity democracy where the only success came through pimping the new diversity regime and businesses based on it funded by government dollars. Not surprisingly, the seemingly great lifestyle provided by the first Clinton term, […]
~~~ Carbon pricing works, major meta-study finds More wealth transfer to the third world. Western countries will raise their own costs, more jobs and production will go to the third world, and the real culprits — container ships, do-nothings on the welfare state, immigration, and plane flights — will continue while people buy increasingly expensive […]
We are told that morality exists in a space above our fallen world. In this space, all humans are important, and there are shared truths like morality that are more important than the world below. When we think of this space, we think solely in terms of intent. We forgive others for what they do […]
~~~ Trump VP hopeful vows ‘radical’ divorce crackdown ‘for the sake of families’ This is much more useful than the abortion debate, which is about eugenics, and any competent eugenics is always better than its absence. This is about natalism: if you raise the cost of getting out of a marriage, people take getting into […]
Back in days of yore, the old guys used to observe something about people who consistently did the same stupid things and got the same stupid results: “He just couldn’t stop himself.” When the guy who was no longer new on the job picked the ineffectual but easy method over doing the job right, the […]
~~~ Stretched Thin: How a Misalignment Between Allocation and Valuation Underlies the Paradox of Diversity Achievement in Higher Education Racial quota programs promote people beyond their level of ability, resulting in them departing over time. Then DEI/ESG roles must be created for them sort of like African Studies, Asian Studies, and Hispanic Studies were created […]
Long ago, it became clear to me that separating love and sex turned sex into a commodity and made people inclined to manipulate each other. The sex becomes the power, and the formula of love becoming sexual is inverted, with people hoping to find love by giving out and then withholding sex. In this way, […]
~~~ Increased Age-Adjusted Cancer Mortality After the Third mRNA-Lipid Nanoparticle Vaccine Dose During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Japan The dubious vaccines appear to be giving people lots of cancers. Do not trust the diversity vaccines. A meta-analysis on global change drivers and the risk of infectious disease As the human population increases and crowds out […]
Populism means appealing to the spirit of a people over democracy, which has become pulled in so many directions with so many footnotes and so much red tape that it can do very little. In many ways, populism is civic nationalism growing up, since it talks about peoples instead of individuals and aspires to a […]
Our people are demoralized. Most of what we hear in public involves how we are doomed and we cannot change course; even on conservative media, readers look toward “gotchas” of the day instead of any kind of long-term plan. They do not believe that one can succeed. Lots of smug commenters like to say clever […]
Very few people understand the concept of inversion, which is what happens when something begins to work against its own purpose by being converted from ends-over-means (goals, transcendentals) to means-over-ends (methodology, rules, jobs). For example, if you want to run a website that is against child pornography, you might ban any mention of minors having […]
The old one tried to say too much in too short of a space. The new one aims for a running leap into the weird world of thought beyond what modernity will contemplate. We get ignored here because we are not playing the game of manipulating known symbols, but looking for logical consistency with the […]
~~~ Teen suspended for using term ‘illegal aliens’ sues his North Carolina high school You invited them in to share in your prosperity. You changed your laws and ways to make them comfortable. You gave them more money than to any other cause in our history, including wars. Now they are doing exactly what they […]
Repent, regicides! Everything was better under the Kings. In the age of the enthroned equal individual, we have become a mob and we tear down our best so that our worst do not fear appearing as they are. The Kings held back the decay, knowing that it was always pushing against them. They led by […]
~~~ Trump on Trial in Manhattan, But Other Cases Seem Stalled Anti-Trump lawfare hit its peak and lost momentum, especially because Democrats are faced with the ugly prospect of having the spectacle of diversity-influenced “justice” administered by diversity people against someone that most Americans believe is being persecuted to harm him in the election. Biden […]
Tens of thousands of years ago, our ancestors wandered between Europe and Asia, living as nomads who hunted and practiced limited agriculture by cultivating patches of useful plants that could be harvested along with nuts, roots, and mushrooms for nutritious food. These primal people were as smart as we are but had a different outlook […]
~~~ US weighs upgrade for Vietnam to ‘market economy’ status China used Vietnamese as bullet-catchers in its proxy war against the USA during the 1960s. Now the USA is going to use all of Vietnam as a proxy against the Chinese economy. Vietnam just wanted to be free but was incapable of self-rule like most […]
If Western philosophy has a philosopher, it is Plato: he outlined the system of thought that preserved the ancient knowledge from our nomadic ancestors who passed down knowledge verbally in the form of metaphorical stories. All philosophy since has addressed his notions. The core of Christianity comes not from neoplatonism, a type of metaphysical dualism, […]
~~~ Anti-immigration protest takes place in Dublin “Irish Lives Matter” comes out as anti-diversity feeling goes mainstream. You cannot be both Irish and have foreigners among you. The People Setting America on Fire It turns out that lots of people who are getting rich of the Leftist system want the System to continue through elections […]
The public mind — the knowledge that most people recognize from social conversations, media, and popular non-fiction — no longer recognizes anything but Keynesian monetary theory. Your average conservative ranting about The Fed misses the point that our whole transition to a federal bank and off the gold standard existed in order to support an […]
~~~ Javier Milei Fuels Wild Rally That Makes Peso No. 1 in World Adopting supply-side economics and reducing government turns out to strengthen the value of the currency while reducing demand and therefore international influence, following the Austrian economics model. As global debt increases and recognition by Rogoff of the damage done by to first-world […]
We learned all about adult predators as kids. If they were at church, they offered treats in the vestry. If at school, they wanted you to stay late to see their collection of signed baseball memorabilia. Mom’s new boyfriend offered warm Milwaukee’s Best. On the street, they pulled up in panel vans promising candy. Learning […]
