In this thread I will recommend 20 books that will help you on your political journey to celebrate 20k followers. Before starting, goes without saying you should read these two by yours truly. Let us begin!

1. Jonathan Haidt, The Righteous Mind (2012)

Book that changed the way I saw everything. Even inspired another book of mine (Shakespeare’s Moral Compass, which Haidt himself praises on the back).

Much of my anti-theorycel orientation is owed to this understanding of humans.

WWYD: The Queen's Cup IV. Group Matches: Round 1. Window = 12 hours or 2,100 votes.

After almost upsetting former Commissioner Bellucci in WWYD4, Deschanel has been talked up as a favourite; Dormer crashed out of WWYD4 in Round 1.

Both looking to stamp themselves on the cup!

Why don't you sit right down and stay a while?
We like the same things and I like your style
It's not a secret, why do you keep it?
I'm just sitting on the shelf

I have started to develop WWYD theory.

There are two basic archetypal forms each of which have three sub-forms for a total of 12 female archetypal sub-forms.

A thread 👇 1. The two basic forms of woman are angel and devil. This was recognised by most traditions as well as by Classic Anglo-Feminism in a reconstructive mode. However each of the basic forms comes in two sub-forms and a third “dark masculine” form…

The Queen's Cup II: Semi-Finals. Voting window 6 hours. Final follows tonight.

French 60s icon Deneuve will be dreaming of a showdown with Bardot in the final after overcome Moore, but she's up against 80s icon Shields who demolished Fisher.

Beauty is timeless.

The Queen's Cup II: The Road to Redemption. Voting Window = 15 hours.

Many commentators see this as "Bellucci's story", but Richards has a large and vocal fanbase too and she too is looking for "justice" after a first round DQ in WWYD2. Who will get through?

There is no think, just vote.

I can’t sleep so we are going to play everyone's favourite school boy game “who would you do?”. Just say left or right in each case. I keep it all in one thread. Okay first up.

Next up. THERE IS NO “NEITHER”. Death waits for those who do not choose!

I’m going to put Kanye West quotes in this thread for those who can’t be bothered to watch his new interview.

1. “Jewish people have owned the black voice.” 2. Ye claims Jewish people first came into money as lawyers because Catholic lawyers wouldn’t do divorces. Never heard this bit of lore before.

1. I have been looking deeper into the the origins of cyclical history theory. It is essentially pagan and finds its classic form in Polybius (“Anacyclosis”) after Aristotle and Plato. Cicero inherits this wholesale and later Machiavelli takes up the model unchanged. 2. The Greek model is focused squarely on politics. It is the idea that every political form degenerates into a tyrannical version of itself before being replaced; an endless cycle of death and rebirth. The Romans inherited this but their histories (eg Tacitus) are more linear.

Now we have settled the Abraham issue, today I will settle another complete non-issue brought up by American friends which is the question of whether American black musicians were “actually” doing white man music. This will be a thread. 👇

1. Here is Leadbelly, who grew up on a plantation, singing “Pick a Bail of Cotton”. This was a work song sung by slaves as they picked cotton. Leadbelly was black and slaves were black. They’d sing these songs acapella, he added the guitar line.

Time for a thread. Today's paper: "Behaviour change, public engagement and Net Zero" by Dr Richard Carmichael

Written in October 2019, this paper looks for ways to create "high-impact shifts in consumer behaviour" to meet Net Zero targets. It was written by the Committee on Climate Change which officially advises the government: gov.uk/government/org…

1. Ever wondered what exactly the Hitler Youth were taught? In this thread we will take an unflinching look using a textbook from 1938: ia801605.us.archive.org/7/items/PDFNaz…

They start by claiming that their worldview is grounded in realism while all prior views were not grounded in “facts”.

2. In the next section they evoke a concept that looks a lot to me like “bio-spirit” to argue that people from different groups are fundamentally different from each other in all sorts of ways, not just physical but in terms of their tendencies and preferences.

In this thread we will be considering an extraordinarily candid paper by Stephen Steinlight. Throughout I will refrain from commentary and simply reproduce quotations. I will quote tweet some of these for telegram viewers.

1. Here is go. On page 1 Steinlight calls on the Jewish community to cast aside political correctness to discuss immigration. But why? The quiet part is out loud.

Our system is very opaque, so much so that people like @eugyppius1 believes that there is no one in control of it at all. I've been wanting to present an alternative model to Moldbug's Cathederal for a while. This may be confusing so I will explain it in the thread below. (1/10)

The first thing to note is that the system takes the form of an Octopus with 8 tentacles. As per @eugyppius1 there is no "main body", but the 8 tentacles are not equal, there is a clear and explicit hierarchy through which discipline is maintained. (2/10)
