New paper by Kirkegaard & Jensen. They found a sex g gap of d=0.42 favoring males, based on the Multifactor General Knowledge Test. Bias does not explain the magnitude of the gap.
I think this article is problematic in many ways. However, one thing it gets right is the utter tyranny of AI companies. Politically, we live (or used to live) in a democracy. Technologically, we reside in a kind of dictatorship, whereby a select few ...
tech autocrats unilaterally decide, without any input *whatsoever* from the demos, which technologies they'll develop, how they'll developed that tech, and when and how it will be unleashed on society. Altman has literally said that he's releasing AI models to test, on us, the
dangers and unintended consequences of AI. Never once did he ask *any of us* for permission to do this -- he has the power, and in our capitalist society, if you have the means, you have the right. Of course, the government can restrict what companies do, but regulations usually

Yli 250 000 tyttöä uhrattiin monikulttuurisuuden alttarilla, koska pelättiin niin paljon syytöstä "rasimista" ja "islamofobiasta".
Muslimien pyörittämien, pääasiassa pakistanilaistaustaisten, raiskausrinkien uhreiksi tarkoituksella kohdistettiin vaaleisiin brittityttöihin.
Kukaan ei voi sanoa, etteikö valkoiseen valtaväestöön kuuluvaa kohtaan voi kohdistaa rasismia.
Heidät valittiin heidän vaalean ihon, brittiläisen kansallisuuden, usein kristillisen mutta tärkeimpänä ei-muslimiuden tähden, jotka tulivat huonoista kotioloissa, mikä lisäsi poliisille ilmoittamisen kynnystä ja epäilyä tapahtuneille hirveyksille.
Näissä muslimien raiskausringeissä saatettiin juhlia perjantaita eno ja veljenpojat yhdessä huumaamalla alaikäisiä tyttöjä ja joukkoraiskaamalla hänet. Eidiä juhlittiin raiskaamalla tyttöjä moskeijoissa.
Iso-Britanniassa muslimien pyörittämien raiskausrinkien suojelu on ollut institutionaalista ja järjestelmällistä. Rasismi- ja islamofobileimojen pelko on ollut suurempi kuin huoli omista kansalaisista.
Sitten he, jotka puolustivat omia tyttäriään ja poikiaan, joutuivat pidätetyiksi viharikoksesta. Eräässä tapauksessa kahden tytön isät menivät paikalle pelastamaan muslimien käsissä olevia tyttöjä - ja poliisiin pidätti nämä isät.
Uhrit hiljennettiin, heitä ja heidän perheitään uhkailtiin. Yhden tytön kieli naulattiin pöytään. Monia murhattiin.
Jos tyttö pääsi pakoon näiltä hirviöiltä, poliisi saattoi toiminta taksina ja viedä takaisin pahoinpitelijöille tai antaa sakot tytöille alaikäisenä aineiden alla olemisesta.
Poliitikot ja instituutiot olivat järjestelmällisti suojelemassa toimintaa. Kier Starmer suojeli ja antoi varoituksia, ei tutkintoja. Sadiq Khan kieltäytyy koskemasta aiheeseen.
Tommy Robinson on tuonut tätä esiin journalismissaan vuosikymmenen ajan. Hänet pidätettiin siitä, ja leimattiin kaikin eri keinoin. Robinsonin dokumentti SILENCED on aivan ehdoton katselusuositus.
Toimittajat ovat valinneet olla näkemättä. Media on ummistanut silmänsä, yllä pitänyt hiljaisuutta, ja syyttänyt äärioikeistoa islamofobisista ennakkoluuloista. Sekä tietenkin "kyllä brittikin raiskaa".
Ongelma on yhtä laaja journalistien keskuudessa mitä pro-"Palestiina" -aktivistien uutisointi ja Hamasin propagandan valkopeseminen; jonka eturintamassa Suomessa toimii HS ja Yle. Vaikenemisen kulttuuri, hiljaisuus, ja "äärioikeistolaisen" syyttelyä salaliittoteorisoinnista ja islamofobiasta.
En tiedä kumpi on moraalisesti pahempaa - tämä muslimien pyörittämät raiskausringit, joka on seurausta suoraan siitä mitä islamin doktriini ja Koraani opettaa (esim. sotasaaleista, "oikean käden omaisuudesta" ja vääräuskoisten kohtelusta jihadin aikana); vai siitä miten tämän annetaan tapahtua omalle kansalle, omille tyttärille, suljetaan silmät ja vaiennetaan kriitikot "rasisteina" ja "islamofobisina".
Koska tämä on suoraan seurausta islamin arvoista ja aatemaailmasta. Tämä on osa jihadia, ja jihad pysyy niin pitkään ennen kuin koko maailma on "palautettu Allahin uskoon".
Se ei ole uutta. Islam ei ole muuttunut.
Mutta päättäjät, niin Iso-Britanniassa kuin ympäri Eurooppaa, kaikkialla islamisaation vyöryn alla, ovat päättäneet esittää, etteivät ymmärtäisi islamin todellista luonnetta. Tätä on islam.
Liian pitkään islamia on puolusteltu ja väitetty olevan yhteensopiva juutalais-kristillisen moraalin pohjalle, raamatullisille arvoille sekä antiikin filosofian kivijalkojen päälle rakennetun länsimaisen kulttuurin päälle.
Mutta niiden välinen ero on yhtä suuri kuin ero valolla ja pimeydellä; elämällä ja kuolemalla; taivaalla ja helvetillä.
Eikä mikään määrä propagandaa sitä eroa kavenna. Siksi EU:lla on menossa hanke kaikenlaisen islamin kritisoinnin vaientamiseksi termin "anti-Muslim hatred" myötä.
Juuri tämän takia Kier Starmer kielsi "sosiaalisen median" - joskin vain tietyt palvelut, kuten X:n mutta ei BlueSkyta - alle 16-vuotiailta.
Tämäkin tullaan varmasti leimaamaan "Kremlin propagandistien vaalivaikuttamiseksi", "äärioikeistolaiseksi salaliittoteoriaksi" ja "Putinin pussiin pelaamiseksi".
Mutta ei totuutta voi enää peitellä.
Raiskausrinkeihin osalliset joutuvat vastuuseen. Mutta niin on syytä joutua niiden mahdollistajatkin. Päättäjät, jotka ovat antaneet tämän tapahtua.
🚨 Invitation to Peter Thiel’s 2014 Dialog Retreat. Email says it's "100% off-the-record". Giant list of names including CEO’s, Congressmen, former US officials and more.
“You're invited to join us at the Dialog Retreat ... 150 people to change the world... a participatory and entrepreneurial conversation on changing the world.
The Dialog participants aren't modest. We want to change the world.
But we don't want to spend our time being in a large audience listening to winded speeches.
There are no speakers. No panels. All attendees participate in break-out facilitated discussions. And we *limit the discussion to only 150 global leaders" who can have an impact now and emerging leaders who can help implement the plans we develop.”
The advanced nanobubbler technology very effectively killed the algae that has plagued every Lincoln Reflecting Pool reopening—most infamously Obama's reopening—since 1922.
The Reflecting Pool water is crystal clear, and our National Park Service team is now vacuuming up the dead algae resting on the bottom of some parts of the Reflecting Pool—just like the destroyed Iranian Navy resting on the bottom of the Persian Gulf.
The vacuuming is the final maintenance step after refilling the pool, and it will be complete in a few days. Already, the section of the Reflecting Pool closest to the Lincoln Memorial has been vacuumed up, and the beautiful American Flag Blue coating on the bottom of the pool can be seen clearly.
Previous administrations—most notably under Obama—failed to maintain the Reflecting Pool, and after refilling the pool, the water would quickly become murky and thick with massive clumps of algae floating on the surface.

Land bordering Yosemite, Sequoia, and Pinnacles National Parks — now cleared for oil rigs and fracking. YES fracking!
Two hundred thousand people said NO. The federal government did it anyway.
Over 1 million acres of California public land just got opened up - land that touches ancient sequoia groves older than the country itself and sits right in Yosemite’s backyard.
Patagonia's CEO came out swinging, accusing the administration of putting oil profits over the planet's health and saying public land was never meant to be sold off to drilling companies.
And the man who'll make the final call? He was recently confirmed to run BLM after his own state party called him "an outright enemy of public lands."
Who's going to tell a tree older than the country that its time is up?

Applebaum: 90–95% of Ukraine's weapons are now either made in Europe or made in Ukraine. Ukrainians make most of their own drones — around 4 million last year and 7 million this year, maybe more.
They're becoming more and more self-sufficient in what they can produce. 1/
Applebaum: There's now a 20 km wide zone on the front line fully controlled by drones. Ukrainians can see every Russian person, tank, or vehicle that enters it.
Crossing is nearly impossible. That has effectively frozen the front — Russia is no longer able to move forward. 2/
Applebaum: Ukraine will soon be able to export its drone and defense technology. Right after the Iran conflict broke out, Zelenskyy was in the Middle East talking to Gulf state leaders.
Gulf states are sovereign countries — they can talk to whoever they want to talk to. 3X
Your blood sugar can look perfectly normal for ten years while your body is quietly breaking. Because the number that actually moves first isn't glucose — it's the hormone your physical almost never measures: fasting insulin. (1/9)
Here's the trap. At your annual physical they check fasting glucose and maybe A1c. Both can sit in the "normal" range while insulin resistance has been building for years. (2/9)
As your cells start ignoring insulin, your pancreas just pumps out more of it — dragging glucose back to normal. The glucose looks fine. What it's hiding is a pancreas working overtime to keep it there — and that can run for a decade before glucose finally cracks. (3/9)
The official story of alpha-gal syndrome is tidy. A lone star tick bites you, and months later you can no longer eat red meat. Tidy stories should make you suspicious. Here is what the tidy version leaves out. 🧵
Start with the obvious question. If ticks cause alpha-gal syndrome, why did the disease only show up in the late 2000s? The lone star tick did not arrive recently. It has been biting Americans across the South for centuries.
So either this is a genuinely new disease, or medicine finally learned to see something that was already there. Those are very different claims. Almost no one in the field will say out loud which one is true.
If we permit a great forgetting, we enable and functionally endorse the same behavior in the future. Senator Ron Johnson is one of the only people in federal leadership willing to reject that forgetting. Here is what he has documented, and what the legacy media will not touch. 🧵
In his own words, from the report he released and the hearing he chaired:
On April 29, 2026, as Chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, I held a hearing and released a report: "Unmasked: How Biden Health Officials Purposely Turned a Blind Eye Toward COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Signals."
1/ EXCLUSIVE: A Reform UK donor who owns 55 Tufton Street - home of Britain's dark-money Brexit lobby - is bankrolling a network pushing the forced removal of millions of ethnic-minority Britons. Its own architects call it a "right-wing arms race." 🧵bylinetimes.com/2026/06/18/rev…
2/ The donor is aerospace tycoon Richard Smith. Farage became Reform leader on 3 June 2024; within 48 hours Smith's company gave £100,000. His firm also sold restricted tech to the main trading partner of a sanctioned Russian arms agency, the New York Times found.
3/ Smith owns 55 Tufton Street and bankrolls its New Culture Forum - the think tank that platforms the strategy's architects. In August 2025 its podcast Deprogrammed met to assess Reform's embrace of mass deportations. Host Harrison Pitt is now policy chief of Restore Britain.
If Scripture is so obscure that it lacks objective truth without Tradition, then the Orthodox cannot use Scripture to objectively prove the authority of Tradition. They are trying to prove two equally obscure things through one another.
If the written word requires an unwritten tradition to explain its objective meaning, then by what word is the unwritten tradition to be interpreted? The unwritten tradition of the Fathers would require another tradition to explain its meaning, ad infinitum.
If the Bible is not clear enough to establish objective truth on its own, then adding unwritten traditions does not solve the problem; it only exposes the entire Christian religion to ridicule.
