The ethnat right burns a lot of cycles trying to pin the blame for the work of liberal whites on assorted other parties. Any serious solution to the problem will need to acknowledge and address the fact that what happened to us was mostly a self-inflicted wound.
Whatever problems the migroids cause, Germany’s biggest enemy by a parsec are urbanite moderately well-educated upper middle-class Germans.
Maybe we should undo that thing that happened in 1971 that caused every single socioeconomic indicator to plummet
Wake up, kid, that was happening even before the Internet. US birth rate has been below replacement since ~1971, except for a split second echo of the baby boom. AI will increase birth rates in order to maximize the future light cone of neurotransmitter tonnage.
Sandwich shop in college sold a skimpy grilled cheese for $2.50, with assorted add-ons for various prices. Tomato for 40 cents, etc. Dozens of options. If you added more than eight or so, the cashier would just roll her eyes and charge you $2.50 for the whole gigantic mess
when dropbox first dropped their referral program, i spun up google ads… spent maybe $10 total & walked away with 1TB of free storage. easiest growth hack of my life. what’s the biggest “hack” you’ve ever pulled?
If the Ashkenazi cognitive elite tilted left in the same proportion that the WASP cognitive elite tilted left, we'd really be screwed. No indication of that, intriguingly. The right gets the seriously bright ones.
We’re all participants in an experiment to produce a demoralization-resistant culture. Many things will be tried, some will probably succeed. In any case, no sense in repeating the previous thing, that clearly didn’t work.
Large-scale demoralization is not a problem that you can "fix." When a native-born population has lost the will to live or to maintain and expand a coherent society, that society is already dead. No amount of money, policy, investment can fix it. A lot of people seem to think…
Istanbul and Barcelona are north of NYC. Rome is north of Chicago. Venice is north of Minneapolis.
Robots in 2025 move like 90-year-old Parkinson's patients that are also gymnasts
I'm observing a mini Moravec's paradox within robotics: gymnastics that are difficult for humans are much easier for robots than "unsexy" tasks like cooking, cleaning, and assembling. It leads to a cognitive dissonance for people outside the field, "so, robots can parkour &…
Bro is forgetting about the first rule of the basement RBMK club again
If this were an alien spacecraft coming from, generously, Proxima Centauri, based on its speed it would've been en route for 21,900 years. No magical alien technology here.
JUST IN: Possibly hostile alien threat detected in unknown interstellar object, NYP reports. "A mysterious intergalactic object could potentially be a hostile alien spacecraft that's slated to attack our planet in November, according to a new study by a small group of…
Bred to be a professor, born to realize that the world you were made for no longer exists.
I wish to confess that I once believed open-heartedly in the bygone mythic image of academia and university life— full of tweed jackets, perpetual autumnal moods, and late-night colloquys with peers mutually devoted to the pursuit of knowledge. Getting over this has been hard.
"hacks" in the vibecoding era require no actual hacking
All it took (not my code/writing):
In China, drug dealers are shot summarily, and almost nobody does drugs. Nothing smells like pot, nobody is bent over in the streets. All sorts of good things are easily possible, they just require violence to be responsibly administered against enemies.
Expensive. Useless. End it.
The communists are occasionally right on the money
Sorry, but this is partly because it’s a suburban shithole. How to fix this: 1. Young men who have energy to go be hooligans on the street are not tired enough! Put them to work! They should be coming home exhausted from their 9-5. Hard to do that when you don’t have…
If you want to get an engineering job this is how, btw.
Fully automated paper aeroplane production, 120 planes per minute! Looks like the majority of parts were laser cut & 3D printed. Is this a robot or a machine? Is there a difference?
Without the Eucharist, you need a reason to go to church. What’ll it be? The sermon. So there you are, in a philosophical arms race of sermons. Where does this lead? Nowhere good, apparently.
A central myth of Protestantism is that Jesus started a philosophical book club without hierarchy, ritual or ceremony.
A sane society, reacting to AI job loss, would be doubling down on directing high quality people into teaching.
I was a HS math teacher for a number of years. Teaching has become a shit job. It’s tough work (granted you get a lot of time off), you get paid nothing, and everyone thinks you’re a loser. I’ve tripled my salary in the 3 years since I left teaching and work half as hard.
Fix the money, fix the world.
Homes have almost never been cheaper when priced in gold. The housing market is only unaffordable because our fiat money is increasingly worthless.
Finally, someone who calls it by the right name ; European culture But nobody tells you it doesn't exist besides 1. American far left and 2. American far right, which calls it "white culture" which is not true. Anyways, we have to protect our cultures from Americanisation.
A magnificent example of the European culture we’re told doesn’t exist. Touches my heart every single time.
The old guard commies had a certain je ne sais quois in their aesthetic and aspirations that contemporary marxists just don't have at all.
