Men are more naturally monogamous bc we wanna just have our home life settled so we can use it as foundation for external pursuits. Women are the ones always working on their home life, introducing new projects to it, etc. If she’s in love, that means making his home better—but… Polygamy’s only more common than polyandry bc a) it’s much more stable, & b) so many women so underhandedly pursue the few top men that sometimes they can’t focus enough to reject these additional distractions. Men who have their shit together never say “if only I had more wives”

Men build civ best under monogamy: ie when we have to compete with each other over other things than extra wives; when that’s been successful & consensual, it’s thru neolocal nuclear families, thus not even about securing high-value mates for our kids. Opaque spergy men’s clubs > ie perhaps the *removal of the desire to fuck women from public life* is what allows men to build civ: if we already have wives at home & can’t fruitfully seek extras, then we have no reason to let women into these clubs or cater their competitive outputs to women’s sensibilities

This is what “the sixties” actually meant: the 1950s were about “amoral excellence,” big-is-beautiful, etc (highways, air travel, television, football, company men, conglomerates, the space race…). Small-minded hippies rejected this as unnatural & scawy & enthroned mudhut morals The Pentagon was only built at the end of WWII & even still the National Mall was covered in simple big War Department buildings through the 1950s as action-oriented power-seeking bureaucracies exploded (unlike the passive red-tape self-flagellating bureaucrats who replaced them) Image

Wonka (2023) was written by LLM. The whole movie’s just “set up some sweet lazy tropes then sacrifice their coherence to sweet lazy one-liners”—next token prediction run amok. Plot, character, theme, world etc are all obvious but gorge on so many obvious gags that they fall apart This IP was expected to make parents buy kids movie tickets bc Wonka’s recognizable: abrasive recluse obsessive prankster; in this he’s just his ever-gaudier accessories on a bland saccharine wizard who always has magic macguffins for friendship while switching btwn dumb & genius

Charming & sympathetic. As she says, they’re *producing* the time that we then “commodify” (ie invest into projects which then allow them to demarcate yet more time for us to reinvest). Like how musicians can only net perform if there are musical illiterates to produce audiences. Distance becomes poorly defined below the Planck length, bc the energy required to precisely probe this gap would necessarily produce a *black* hole larger than it. & same with time: you can’t clock anything shorter than how long light takes to “walk the Planck.” Same basic idea.

Basically the plot of Atlas Shrugged. FL turned down a $2.5B grant from Obama for public “high-speed rail,” & approved the only private inter-city passenger rail in the US, Brightline, which in 9 years opened a 235 mile rail network for $25M/mile, while CA’s likely at ~$300M/mile In 2008 CA promised it’d have SF-LA HSR open by 2020; now the projected opening’s already been pushed past 2045, & it may never even get there, but official projections are still optimistically estimating its likely inflation-adjusted price at ~$275M/mile (ie it’ll be way more)…

I read the paper. Precisely what you’d confidently guess based on the pic & caption. Total of ~10,000 respondents across 2 versions (nodes are attitudes on abortion, redistribution, etc). In both, position correlates v well with partisanship scale & even more with partisan hatred Image
Image
In other words, extremity of left vs right in these reliably correlates with self-reported extremity of left vs right; but the correlation is even stronger for self-reported partisan ingroup feelings bias (far left more identifiable by hatred of far right than by self-ID as such)

Piketty’s new paper has good graphs but retarded thoughts (brief thread). He shows that 19thC Europe had an incredible current account surplus, & so—by definition—accrued an incredible capital account. Again: this is definitional—net income is net wealth accrual in this data. But Image
Image
Image
Image
He says this is bad bc Europe’s goods trade balance was negative (imported lots of raw materials & exported ~half as much manufactured value). So this wealth was colonial theft, & Europe “should’ve” been *much* poorer (if it paid 20% more for raw imports & levied 0 taxes abroad). Image

You’re telling me that Republican voters like red state policies? That Democrats don’t suddenly pretend they’ve always hated blue state policies? I guess it was worth testing whether they’d switch on a dime when Ezra told them to, even tho the groups are still favoring the groups In fact, the *only* person who *should* be surprised by this is Hanania: his hypothesis for the past few years has been that EHC types (eg Ezra Klein & his readers) are uniquely suited for *both* adopting objectively good policies *&* popularizing them among the blue tribe. Oops!

Women’s tears in the marketplace of ideas are most costly when they’re tears of joy. Shrieking at you to euphemize more in public is noticeably annoying, but it’s far more notably bad that female suffrage immediately leads to limitless childish negative-sum collectivist signaling Image

Can our civ muster the will to tell groups of women that what makes them feel good is bad—that they should be politically disempowered—that their insipid saccharine groupthink is retarded & smothering & destructive? History says no—esp as girlbossing substitutes for childrearing. Image

KKK reached peak membership in 1924 (destroyed by sex scandal & Ellis Island in 1925). They were focused on Progressivism (prohibition, anti-corruption, the Fed, free trade, immigration restrictionism, etc), not lynching—meantime Ellis Island gangs waged war on cops & Anglo order Image
Image
Image
Image
They used their peak influence in 1924 to back McAdoo (whose main accomplishment was creating the Fed) & pass the Johnson-Reed Act (closed borders). Then they got forced from power by corrupt & actually buffoonish actual terrorists who imposed low IQ larps of nativism (tariffs)…

There should be more no-fault contracts. If you sign an NDA, you should be allowed to tear it up if you ever feel like doing so, & still keep half of what they paid you for signing it, with no negative consequences. You can kick out lessees at random, & keep half the year’s rent. This might seem like precisely the opposite of a contract, but it’s what we do with marriage, the most generally sacred of contracts; & it’d be odd if we applied higher enforcement standards to NDAs, leases, etc than to marriage, so why not make tenant law similarly “open-minded”

Ubiquitous pre-internet correct use of obscure nautical metaphors in 1995’s “Dreams from My Father” is what convinced me that it was ghostwritten by former seaman Bill Ayers. It repurposes tics & scenes from 1993’s “To Teach” by Ayers—eg kids learning the Hudson’s a “tidal river” In both, a turning point when colored kids at Hudson’s edge & audibly notice that it flows both north & south, bc they’re at exactly the point where it changes direction. Etc. & Obama wrote it at Ayers’ dining table, after Ayers began mentoring him—1st thing by O with *any* style

I like many assimilated Jews & Indians, & I prefer the current anathematized Jewish & Indian govts to the leftist postwar Jewish & Indian govts, & I dislike the woke Jewish & Indian diaspora mainstream, & retarded rightists make the same stupid cargo cult critiques of both groups “Wow they were able to work for a living & they were willing to move around & they partnered with an enlightened empire & other third worlders were ‘tricked’ into staying in same old poverty by their lies like ‘money’ & ‘property’ during good-faith attempts at development—so sad”

Let me tell you a story about the Navy. The $1.2 billion USS Bonhomme Richard was destroyed by a fire in 2020 while it sat in the San Diego bay. The Navy blamed it on a white kid who was frustrated at the Navy’s incompetence, bureaucracy & sclerosis—tried to put him away for life Image
Image
Image
Image
After the white kid had been locked up for months (years?), halfway thru the trial to put him away for life, the prosecution admitted their original arson suspect was a “PoC” who actually had lots of evidence against him (unlike the white kid) but that they had to switch targets: Image

They’re facing a 95% extinction rate every 4 generations (~100 years). They live in a concentration camp society almost as inhuman as that of their neighbors to the north. Any party not interested in aggressively experimenting with radical changes is pointless—I want them to live What happened in the Germanic lands during the 1600s? Basically just the 30 years war, as far as the modern world is concerned. About 50% population loss over three decades. Total upheaval of all relations. If you were there would you back local leaders who twiddled their thumbs?

This journalist just got our guy doxed & fired over private racial statements. Let’s look at some of her public racial statements over the years—unfortunately, she deleted all her old tweets, & many of her pieces are paywalled, like *several* cancelling *high schoolers* for this: Image
Image
These pieces that her paper published “calling out” high schoolers for this one image were put out from January 2019 through February 2020. This was before Floyd. The high schoolers were trying to be woke by showing that drugs particularly harm blacks. But that wasn’t good enough

25 Renaissance Men after the Renaissance: 25 Reasons Why We Freed Ross Ulbricht for Operation Panamaniac; 25 Modern Western Men Who Deserve Monuments from Greenland to Gaza

For all the condottieri of our era! Our great heroes have always been pirates—our civilization was reborn by mercenaries in the 1400s, our country was founded by private military companies, and our constitution empowers congress to grant letters of marque and reprisal before it says anything about raising armies, maintaining navies, regulating soldiers, or conscripting militias… 1. Warren Hastings: As the first Governor-General of British India, he centralized East India Company rule, reorganized its tax systems, expanded its military campaigns, and subjugated Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa under British control. He reformed Indian law, introducing a hybrid Anglo-Mughal legal system that gave the Company near-total control over trade and governance. His decade-long impeachment trial in London, led by Edmund Burke, attacked his “despotism” but ended in acquittal, cementing his role as architect of British India. It was the first impeachment trial in British history.

USAID represents the shadowy unaccountable interest groups that helped insane commie hordes overthrow stable productive colonies in Africa. Their anti-whiteness plunged the region into poverty—& now they condemn you for turning your back on the region that turned its back on you? Image For example, the US deep state imposed “independence” on Morocco & Tunisia; & sided with Nasser in the Suez crisis; & supported the Algerian war on the French; & sided with Soviets in the Nigerian Civil War; & had its hands in many Arab independence movements—eg in Yemen—& so on.

Whether you look at campaign contributions, survey responses, or party registration, the Dem:GOP ratio in the civil service is on average 10:1; the most right wing agencies I can find are DHS & DoJ, which are still respectively over 2:1 & 4:1 left-leaning. & they make the rules… This matters bc—besides taxes & cops—almost everything the govt does is directed thru agency “rule-making” not congress “law-making,” & these rules are lawless. & so you get millions of civil servants whom the president can’t legally fire (directly or indirectly) making up “laws”

Ive been posting about how OPM is one of the key paths to civil service takeover for the past few years & the admin is living up to my wildest fantasies for it. This isnt bandwagoning or backfilling—this is victory along paths that have long been clear but refused by cowardly GOP Image Anyone who was paying attention has long known that fighting the deep state meant exactly what the current admin is now doing, after decades of GOP acting as controlled opposition (even when Trump assumed he could rely on them in his 1st term)—long overdue
