Fascinating! The single largest testable mental difference between the genders is that men are interested in things, and women are not. The next two largest differences are mental shape rotation capabilities, and line angle judgment.

All three are core to civilization.
1/ We could not have civilization and we would not be able to maintain civilization without men who are fascinated by making & improving things, with the ability to rotate around objects and evaluate angles in their minds, before they make the physical come into being.

We're nearing the end of era, Grace is still young & she won't like what comes next.

For more than a century, wealthy "progressives" (really Marxists if they are at all intellectually aware), have been able to live the best of both worlds - but no more, an inflection point
1/ has been passed. While the real communists were living lives of poverty & oppression in the USSR & China, people like Grace for the past hundred years in the US were able to enjoy the wealth & safety of being rich in America, while nonetheless doing everything they can

"More Americans Are Aging Alone. One Woman Told Us What It’s Like."

Very interesting article in the WSJ (link later) about the near inevitable life arc of women who choose to be single & childless. Her 20s & 30s were great!
1/ "She remembers how friends envied her freedom; while they were tied down with dinner duty, their kids’ homework, and college savings, Kant spent her evenings painting and didn’t think twice about going out on weeknights."

Let's talk about the coming AI deluge. AI art, AI research & AI-written promotions to make a variant of someone else's original ideas in the attempt to gain fame. It will be everywhere.

The starting point is the creative brilliance of Tolkien in creating the Pillars of the
1/ Kings, massive statues of Isildur & Anarion guarding the border of Gondor. This image from Tolkien was popularized by Peter Jackson in his LOTR movies, and it was indeed a fantastic sight.

Fast forward many years. Someone asks to see an image like that for Lewis & Clark,

There is already an epic-sized memorial - the 630 foot Gateway Arch - in the correct location at the mouth of the Missouri, dedicated to Western expansion in general, but also particularly celebrating Lewis & Clark.

I appreciate the enthusiasm in the original threads,
1/ Image but what really came through was complete ignorance about the actual history and geography of the Heartland.

This reminds of the recent thread where someone wanted to reintroduce bison herds to the vast plains east of the Mississippi - a stunning degree of ignorance,

There is a case to be made that the future of humanity is being determined by an intra-sexual competition among women.

We are seeing the highest divergences ever between young men & young women when it comes to politics & children. This comes from the education system.
1/ People have been (rightly) complaining for years that the education system favors girls over boys, but there is more to it than that. Teachers are primarily leftist females & their primary target has been something very female, control over the minds of other women's daughters

At least in China, fertility desires among young women in college are collapsing in real time. Gen Z is turning out to be radically different from the Millennials. 75% of college-educated women aged 18-24 report having no desire for children. There are huge differences by sex
1/ and gender. 47% of young women do not want children while that is true of only 19% of young men. Also, if 75% of college-educated do not want children, but that is only true of 47% of all young women, that means that considerably more non-college attending young women want

I was surprised when Talking Points Memo came out, because the name admits that the Left is more concerned with being correctly aligned than with the truth.

The tight blue cluster below is not natural, it would be impossible with genuine free thinking. The exterior is the
1/ Image all correct thinking on the Left, it does not come from within. This makes it amusing that they consider themselves to be the more intelligent side, but of course, that is planted in their minds as well, from the exterior.

Neal is having fun triggering multiple viral threads, but what makes this work is there is truth to both sides.

Very specifically, Millennials in Blue states who were raised by passive parents, the public schools & TV are arguably the most brainwashed generation in US history
1/ Gen Z is different, as they grew up in a time where there was no denying that the DEI govts, universities & corps were aggressively anti-white & anti-male, and this very online generation was sorting into an online counterculture of "radicalized" young men.

France is trying to power flex on the US & I don't think this will go well for them.

Musk has just been summoned to France to face "preliminary criminal charges" over failing to run X in accordance with French law, along with former CEO Yaccarino. The criminal investigation
1/ will proceed whether Musk shows up or not. So, does this mean that Musk could be detained anywhere that has a criminal extradition treaty with France. Is it safe for him to go to Europe.

The US govt has made very, very clear that it disapproves, with the Justice Dept saying

Oh, but it did pan out. That was the Soviet Union & it would have rolled over Western Europe without US backing.

The Ukraine War is effectively the West pitting the two strongest former USSR Republics against each other, in the attempt to neutralize Russia. When the Obama
1/ administration along with US neocons overthrew the pro-Russian legally-elected government of Ukraine in the 2014 Color Revolution (something Nuland has publicly admitted happened), then an enormous & powerful barrier was created between Russia & Western Europe.

Let's combine Canada, Europe & current US military actions in the Strait.

1. Carney recently said that Europe will be the center of the new international order, not the US. This is consistent with Canada's recent decisions to move away from the US & towards Europe & China.
1/ 2. Macron is back to being a tough talker, and the central roles that the French & European militaries will play in keeping open the Strait of Hormuz.

There is, however, a catch. They won't risk their militaries if there is an actual danger of violence.

What people forgot about the Civil War is that there were three distinct power centers: the Yankee Northeast, the Midwest & the South. All three were roughly equal in power, and it was two on one. Most of the American-born Union troops were Midwesterners,
1/ as were the best Union generals. It was the Yankees who imported foreigners to fight for them.

The true brother/cousin war was among the Scotch-Irish who had settled both the Lower Midwest & the Upland South. Of course, there's nothing more Borderer than fighting other

Unfortunately, the latest attempt on Trump's life is part of a new normal, the second & much larger generation of Leftist violence. The first generation, which Tanner discusses below, should have been executed when caught. Instead, they were lionized by Leftist schools, media
1/ Image and politicians. Those who lived to old age got to hang out with Obama and other Leftist celebrities, their history of vicious political murders made them "cool"

So, now 30% of "liberals" under 40 think it is ok to kill racists & fascists, with the RW all being labeled as such

There is a chicken & egg game between populaces & elites that many "elitists" don't understand. Elites are neither superior nor aristocratic but exist because of a tautology, something that is true by definition.

Pissed-off populaces - as we've been for 3+ generations -
1/ will continuously attempt to create their own elites. All an elite is is someone who can influence or control the populace, whether we are talking about culture, politics or hard power. It's not like there is a separate species one has to be born into.

The American RW base is real, organic in origin & exists in vast numbers. We are America. We have long been suppressed by an Enemy relying on many types of deception:

1. Controlled Opposition & Influencers
2. Propaganda & Gaslighting
3. Fraud
4. Infiltration
5. False Flags
1/ There are so many red pills scattered around that this point that they can't be avoided. Every major media outlet lying for 4 straight years about Biden's mental condition is one, so are the pervasive Covid lies.

The Left spits them out, and much of the RW takes little bites.

Second of 2 good posts👇, and the genetics map is superior to the cultural maps. The Lower Midwest & Upland South are a blend of two British folkways, the Borderers (Scotch-Irish) and Midlands, who also become increasingly blended with Germans as one moves to the north.
1/ The Upland South is predominantly Scotch-Irish, with a blend of Cavaliers in the southern part, and getting more Germans in the north. Looking at colonial stock genetics, they are indeed the people who settled AR, SE MO and most of Texas.

What the Irish protests, the Canadian trucker's protests & Jan 6 have in common is that RW protests are massive, organic & have no concrete goals, while LW protests are highly organized & have goals that are about force.

Color Revolution protests are about regime change
1/ and while they may appear to be the organic will of the people, they are in fact following an exact script for govt takeover developed by the CIA many years ago.

The RW protests are truly organic and far larger, they just don't have any actual plans for government overthrow.

New information has come out in the last few hours about Iranian air defenses - and it looks like warfare may be evolving again. According to the Israelis (WSJ link later), Iran is moving from radar to multispectral cameras for air defense. Iran is also claiming new forms
1/ of domestically-produced air defenses are coming on line.

"Iran is using a sophisticated network of multispectral cameras to track and identify U.S. and Israeli aircraft, according to a former senior Israeli defense official briefed on the subject."

France is the premier European military power, but there are problems with such projections.

1. France is politically paralyzed because it is effectively bankrupt, it can't pay for for current social promises.

2. Military R&D is about gross spending, not percent of GDP.
1/ 1. For decades, Europe has emphasized social spending while paying very little for defense. Europe is having trouble even paying for those programs, as it is battered by energy costs and deindustrialization - with industries fleeing due to the energy costs.

Let's go down a rabbit hole, and talk about asymmetrical gray zone warfare. Specifically the murder of leading scientists, in a below the surface conflict between China & the US.

Asymmetry. US research scientists generally try to be as prominent in their fields as possible
1/ through the publication of papers that are vital for their careers. They live individually in private residences with no security, and it is a trivial matter for a state security agency to determine where they work & live. Access to the US is still effectively open.
