Some time ago in these pages some of our writers pointed out that Big Tech had gone the way of all big successes: it grew huge, attracted parasites, and now under assault from taxes and lawsuits, was trying to squeeze more income out of its existing customers. Back in 1993 or so, many of us […]
~~~ America’s Trust in Scientists Drops in Wake of COVID-19 Pandemic The accidental or fake “pandemic” of COVID-19 revealed that diversity has paralyzed the West. It exists entirely in a reactive capacity now, sperging out in response to crises and applying the known “solutions” taught in schools to the “educated” elites who can see nothing […]
It must be horrible to be a Useful Idiot, but most people are aimless and so they end up being Useful Idiots for various brands, ideologies, fandoms, cults, and trends. The Boomers became Useful Idiots for Communism because they wanted to rebel against their parents without rejecting “equality.” As a result, they could only go […]
Houston faces an upcoming challenge. With twenty billion dollars in debt, rotting infrastructure, and a population that is at least three-quarters non-White, the city hovers on the edge of South Africa style collapse as vital services collapse and the dwindling White audience is milked for ever-increasing taxes. The “safe” candidate, John Whitmire, is a Democrat […]
~~~ Researcher claims Harvard nixed social media research after getting Zuck bucks In a diverse society, there is no point even trying. Culture got killed by diversity, so people are only interested in what will not get them canceled and what will get them paid. As a result, scientists take money to write about what […]
Once it was clear by about 1942 that the Axis powers were not going to win the last world war, the West began churning out the “Me Generation,” so named because of their nearly absolute individualism. Where previous generations deferred to culture, history, nature, and faith, the Me Generation worshiped only the human itself. This […]
~~~ UW System President Suggests Less Liberal Arts for Poorer Students The root of the diversity impulse is an eternal human desire to make things equal. This appeals to people who do not want to be left behind by others. Any human group, once prosperous and no longer seeing the need for leaders, will revert […]
The overproduction of elites can lead to societal instability. This holds particularly true in a scenario where these elites are credentialed beyond any legitimate measure of their ability to operate in Street-Level Reality. Once one of these mediocre specimens has some degree that inaccurately proclaims elite status, the mediocrity starts to chafe when nobody treats […]
~~~ The Colonialism Slander in the State Department and Beyond Colonialism was probably most likely the expansion of European explorers in search of riches, finding primitive savages who could not exploit them, and then becoming enmeshed in warfare and management of these peoples who only spoke the language of brutality. One does not need to […]
From a Fediverse dialogue. I started out as a regular Democrat-Republican from the 1970s, which means someone who is basically a Democrat but gets Republican whenever money or more government are mentioned. Most of America was at that time, I think. It let them accept the 1960s changes but still complain vaguely about them, having […]
Equality destroys minds. It removes any center from society and forces people into a competition for attention in order to rise above the average enough to succeed. In addition, it prevents us from recognizing cause and effect, namely that genes determine abilities and this determines success or failure. That interruption in cause/effect collapses society into […]
~~~ Black Women In White Workplaces Are More Likely To Be Considered ‘Low Performers’ Different races have different skills and abilities that make them powerful in their native environments. In White workplaces, you have to fall into the White workflow, which nastily requires you to reject your Black ways. This is not fair, sane, or […]
Democracy represents a social contract: those who are being governed have some say in being governed, although on the utilitarian principle of the greatest number of warm bodies hitting button A over button B. People in a democracy for this reason have a duty to replace any government that does not represent them. Much of […]
~~~ Gannett moves to toss white workers’ challenge to diversity goals Affirmative action began as support of unions and through the acts of a non-White president, became the standard for federal hiring, then was extended via the same interpretation of the 14A to private business, which can only defend against claims of racial and sexual […]
A few years back, reality television ruled the airwaves, and the subgenre of “deserted island” shows was quite popular. On these, people were transported to some unoccupied island and left to fend for themselves, except for the army of television crew, staff, and caterers who were there to support them. These shows tapped into a […]
~~~ Millions of U.S. apples were almost left to rot. Now, they’ll go to hungry families Your average person has no idea that this article is product placement by a major industry that needs some good press. We hear a lot about “food insecurity,” but generally what it means is that there are some people […]
Almost all human sources take political symbols and category at face value. That is, if a group says they are collectivist, a new entity “collectivist” is assumed. If a symbol claims to bring freedom, “freedom” is associated with the symbol. Very few look into the history of words or the causes of their symbolism. Looking […]
~~~ Ex-Met officer guilty of sending racist message Wherever diversity goes, censorship also goes, and “hate crimes” laws expanded from stopping actual assaults to being used to destroy the lives of people who have simply noticed some of the problems of diversity. Note: it is more effective to simply say that diversity fails in any […]
Nature does not have equality because equality destroys value. With inequality, there is constant striving, and this keeps quality high. When the need to adapt and struggle is gone, then people scatter like a dropped bucket of marbles, each finding his own substitute for a direction and way of drawing attention to himself. Egalitarian civilizations […]
~~~ NYC law banning discrimination based on height and weight goes into effect Equality — a form of reality pattern denial, since if things were equal in nature all activity would cease, a state of living death like primitive visions of the Judeo-Christian Heaven — takes its final form: reality does not matter, just be […]
Conservatism — this refers to protecting and nurturing the best of human endeavor — has always faced an uphill task because humanity is self-destructive through the relentless need for attention by individuals. This requires people to draw attention to themselves by doing the illogical or at least tangential. If you wonder why we always portray […]
Since the early days of consciousness, a question has animated my view of the world: our societies influence our options and mental state, so then why do all human civilizations fall like Rome and leave behind third-world wastelands like contemporary Italy? To a kid who later read a lot of sci-fi, and already was familiar […]
A quick note for our readers: you may have noticed a lessening in regular blog traffic. This is the result of greater time demands on me from day-work and the editing business I run in the background, and therefore less of a chance to pay attention to this and the Other Site. This crisis has […]
~~~ Germany: Illegal migration drops due to new border checks Just like what happened in San Francisco when the streets were cleaned so our Communist overlords could visit, Germany finds that overcoming fear of “racism” allows it to apply its laws and lessen an intractable problem. In fact, applying common sense could go farther: diversity […]
~~~ Why We Don’t Trust Science Anymore After the COVID-19 debacle, people are slowly awakening to the fact that science — our replacement for religion, itself replacing culture — is in fact for sale like any other group of people. Now we should look at the near total ban on race science, class differences in […]
