I've been seeing horrendous takes on (re)industrialization for months now so I think it's finally time for me to lay out a thread with what I regard as the basic heuristics and understandings I have of it:
Maybe being a herbivore male or a herbivore female is simply the adaptive norm for postindustrial society because all competition after scarcity becomes solely about social status, and there is only a limited amount of people who can have high status.
For reasons I don't understand, fertility experts routinely talk past an elephant in the room: the declining birthrate is downstream of declining relationship formation. I suppose "selfish couples who hate babies" are a more respectable topic than the death of romance (and sex)?
Hesitate to even give this vapid bobblehead any bit of attention but this stupid "Love everyone" garbage is so transparently fake when several months ago she leapt onto posting information about my family, videos of my dad, etc. You don't hate these people enough.
It’s easy to gloat, and to be clear it was a stupid thing to do, but all I feel is sadness

If you’re arguing about, say, grooming gangs in the UK and someone brings up the one time a girl lied about it - that is a ‘real’ event that is actually completely fake in context. This same thing is true of almost all reddit stories.
Something can be ‘real’ and still be fake

But some of them are real brah
It’s really painful to overhear a young guy ape a line or gimmick from red pill blogs
taking reddit stories seriously, debating them as if they were real, is one of the absolute worst CogSec practices imaginable
These people had 9 months to move away from the most overpriced and expensive city in the US to keep their baby. It’s not like they had amazing jobs holding them back from leaving.
Yes, fertility is a largely solved problem. Women marry when they think they're getting a good deal, and differential status determines the marriage rate.

New newsletter: We need to talk about how GLP-1 drugs seem to be good for practically everything—and what that means for the future of medicine and health Hundreds of studies have now shown that GLP-1s, such as Ozempic and Zepbound: - seem to curb alcohol, cocaine, and tobacco…
Are there ANY actual industries that are experiencing ‘labor shortages’ or is the entire thing just a made up bullshit myth set off to facilitate immigration? Regulation-gated industries like medicine don’t count, btw.
These two sentences next to each other should be impossible. And yet.

Interesting article here on the Somalian truck drivers. Key words: labor shortage, predominantly white, Asalamu Calaykum akhiyaarta sharafta leh. "In what has traditionally been a predominantly white field, today Somalis are just one of several immigrant groups rising to fill…
The PRC, with the world's least foreign-born population, shows how to do "brain drain" the right way: identify small numbers (50-100 per year) of experts in key areas and pay them huge sums of money (4-6 million RMB) to work in the PRC and transfer their skills to Chinese.
One impressive thing about China's IP is they have really mastered the art of overcoming resource constraints with manufacturing and applied engineering (EVs/electrification for oil/fossil fuels, synthetic diamonds for natural ones, canals/infra building for uneven development).
