~~~ It seems darker out there this week. People are hesitant, withdrawn. To see this, go outside of where they expect to be observed. People in liquor, grocery, home repair, and book stores expect privacy. They let their faces down and you see what they are thinking. This generally means that things are winding down. […]
The world seems baffling enough, but then it seems that there are these people adapted to it — bug men, last men, NPCs, normies — who not only fail to notice its ongoing collapse but seem to thrive on its shallow, trivial, but constant demands and trends. Normies tend toward the Left because they are […]
When civilization arrives, it brings assumptions, and these take the form of precedent cascades. One big assumption leads to others based on it, moving from the general to the particular. This enables society to control its population directly by demanding that certain methods be followed to be consistent with the founding assumptions. However, these systems […]
Leftists recognize the importance of the Kevin McCarthy vote long before conservatives did because Leftists think solely in terms of power. Their goal is to replace power with mob rule so that each individual is obligated to nothing but paying taxes and earning money. To them that is “freedom.” With the vote for Speaker of […]

~~~ Big Tech finally met its comeuppance. The stocks will recover, but the goodwill cannot; the Silicon Valley companies were seen as a way forward but now it becomes clear that we are stagnating in an eternal 2007 where the same old battles over free speech hide the fact that relatively few real people use […]
The Day After Roswell by Philip J. Corso 384 pages, Gallery Books, $11 The UFO phenomenon baffles just about everyone. We have lots of blurry photos and obviously insane people who think UFOs exist, but so do some of the best minds on planet Earth. It seems like by moving this field into the zone […]
All the institutions — media, government, experts, scientists, pundits — have fallen in quality to the point that they are no longer trustworthy. Over the last three years, this has become common knowledge among the people in this society who are actually responsible for getting things done instead of “going through the motions.” People look […]
The last few years just disappeared as Late Stage Democracy shut down in its total inability to handle even an aggressive seasonal flu. At every level, careerists did what made them self-important, from Tik Tok dancing nurses through ranting “experts” telling us that The End had finally arrived. Consequently almost no one trusts the system […]
