The Left made a big deal about Russian election interference, claiming that it was designed to help Trump in exchange for him going easy on Russia. They dropped the last part after Trump imposed heavy sanctions on Russia: Sanctions imposed over Russia’s invasion of Crimea in 2014 have not been lifted, Trump approved the sale […]

We are setting the stage for 2020 now. The year starts in just three months, one business quarter, and this means that the time to the election shortens with every day. Like all big events, it will be upon us before we really know it. It shows us that we are well and truly entrenched […]

China is destroying Muslim graveyards where generations of Uighur families are buried and replacing them with car parks and playgrounds ‘to eradicate the ethnic group’s identity’ The West is projecting the failure of its own diversity program onto China, who is doing the right thing to the Uighurs: remove all minority groups if you can, […]

Being alive in the present time shocks people. Like all of us, they sort of “wake up” into neurological maturity, at which point they finally recognize themselves as alive and capable of choice, and then must struggle to further awaken to recognize the reality of the situation. Once someone becomes capable of analysis independent of […]

‘South Park’ Scrubbed From Chinese Internet After Critical Episode When Socrates wanted to prove that democracy was hypocritical, he asked questions and democracy murdered him (we should never forgive it, and never forget). Like most brave people, he knew that the chances were good that they would destroy him, but in doing so, he would […]

When we look back through history, it becomes clear that societies have always died by class warfare. A new society values competence, and so those people rule it, but once it is established, clever humans assume that it will exist in perpetuity without effort, and so it begins to decay. Those clever humans always phrase […]

The Left hates competition. It seems utterly meaningless to them and they suck at it. But that doesn’t mean they can keep their noses out of it and just mind their own stupid business. They have to make you care as much as they do. It’s totally for your own good. They promise with the […]

Italy presents plan to accelerate expulsion of migrants After the far Right rose on an anti-immigration platform, the moderates adopted it: “I do not believe that redistributing migrants to other European countries is the final solution”, 5-Star leader and Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio told a news conference. Note: five years ago, there would have […]

As we come out of the years when the solution to everything was more taxes, government, and bureaucracy, it makes sense to question some of our most cherished assumptions. For example, we should look at public schooling and assess whether it is actually a good thing. When it was first introduced, public schooling seemed like […]

The West finds itself accepting change very slowly these days. In biological terms, the biggest influence shaping us now may be the shift in generations. The Baby Boomers are moving on, which means that governments need to come up with a big chunk of money for their end of life costs. Boomers found themselves naturally […]

You will never hear it mentioned in public, but we are living through a really terrible time. This is what it looks like when a civilization fails, and everyone is lying about it because to admit that will force them to downgrade their own assessment of their own cleverness. After all, we were warned about […]

Invasive species always win. Since they are not adapted to their new home, they spend no time, energy, or mental concern on being specialized, and simply do what is easiest. This means that while they are not efficient, they are effective. If you take a handful of rats and pitch them on some random deserted […]

Two roads diverge in our future: populism, where the spirit of the people expresses a dissenting view to that of its elites, or mass mobilization, where the underclasses are organized towards overthrowing the elites and replacing them with elites of its own. Populism relies on the idea of vox populi, or a “voice of the […]

The Nerd Force weakens. It really wasn’t particularly awesome to begin with, but at least in the Late 1970s, Hollywood could still crank out a halfway decent Western (or perhaps, a high fantasy with cowboy boots). Star Wars is much closer to epic fantasy than to Western. While there is certainly some broad influence from […]

US jobless rate fell to 50-year low of 3.5% No one really understands the Trump economy. Here is my formulation: long-term consumer confidence. People like having a masculine, aggressive, and realistic leader in charge, especially one from America’s historical founding group, the ethnic Western Europeans. Scots-German WASP Donald Trump shows us that he is looking […]

At some level, we all like the idea of religion, but fear that it may simply be our own projection. Then it would join other human solipsistic behaviors like gambling, addiction, egotism, and other projections of our desires on the world as if they were real. In many academic circles, it is considered foolish even […]

Israel quietly lets in thousands of Gaza workers, in bid to ease tensions Now that Arabs control its elections, Israel is following the path that America pursued, which is Neville Chamberlain style appeasement. This will not work; it shows weakness, and those who are given an inch will take a mile, and then repeat. Brute […]

So your local political bigshots have decided to deworsify your neighborhood. They want pliable, mystery-meat morons to help them pass all their euchastes and elect whatever detestable pervert they feel like trebucheting into power. Your civic authorities seem to have their eyes wide shut and their legs spread wide. What does the smarter brother do? […]

In Houston, a Rash of Storms Tests the Limits of Coping With Climate Change The New York Times continues lying. Here it tells falsehoods to obscure a few things, but the first is that urbanization is not our problem. Houston is a test case for what happens when you make a city that extends fifty […]

The crowd at my local pub seizes on whatever idea seems to explain the events of the day. These explanations do not have to be correct, only to make all of us feel that there is an order and a logic behind what is going on that will work out OK in the end. Yesterday […]

If you pay attention to biological logic, you reward the successful group in order to get more […]

Conventionally, the person on the street assumes a simple calculus about economics based on their experience with cities being wealthier than urban areas. If you add more people, you get more activity, and from that, more wealth. However, when we look more closely at economic growth we see that it is actually assessed two different […]

As the Chinese Communists prepare to celebrate their seventh decade in power, Hong Kong attempts to protest what will be ultimately a quick and irrevocable assimilation. Back in 1982, when people first thought the handover was a good idea, it seemed like the right way to get out of a colonial empire that had become […]

Leftist nerd-hipster hugbox Reddit has taken another step toward eliminating thoughts that are scary to the underconfident from its platform: a new policy on bullying and harassment that will be selectively enforced like their other broad, vague, and cryptic rules: We do not tolerate the harassment, threatening, or bullying of people on our site; nor […]

‘Our political system is irrevocably poisoned’: the rise of monarchism The Left wants to drum up support for transitioning from “Late Stage Capitalism” to full socialism which of course will require one-party permanent rule. For this reason, they are cautiously praising criticism of democracy, not realizing that when people oppose democracy, they are also opposing […]
