Even though I lean Republican on many economic issues, small business, by in large, is overrated and a lousy way to make money due to the high start-up costs and high failure rate; furthermore, these ‘success stories’ touted, such as Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg, are the exception and far from being the… Continue reading Critique of the Culture of Entrepreneurship

No Love For The High-IQ Basic Income
Yesterday I wrote an article defending MGTOW, which I later re-wrote because the original didn’t meet my quality standards. It’s funny but not too surprising how some people get worked-up about the idea of a high-IQ basic income (and the topic of IQ in general), so much so that facts and logic go out the… Continue reading No Love For The High-IQ Basic Income
Sorry Middle Class, You’re Just Not That Important Anymore
With $21 Trillion, China’s Savers Are Set to Change the World I guess this is why the decline of the middle class is not such a big deal to Wall St. There are seven billion people in the world, of which only around 100 million constitutes ‘America’s middle class’. Then you have the Pareto principle,… Continue reading Sorry Middle Class, You’re Just Not That Important Anymore
Redefining the American Dream
80% of U.S. adults struggle with joblessness, near-poverty, or reliance on welfare for at least parts of their lives, a sign of deteriorating economic security and an elusive American dream. The America dream is alive and well for some, but mostly for those who who are smart enough to learn the skills that pay well… Continue reading Redefining the American Dream
In Defense of MGTOW, Part 2
Matt Forney’s anti-MGTOW article is going viral. There are better targets – from feminists, to SJWs, to overpaid liberal arts professors – than MGTOW which, with the exception of some issues, is ideologically aligned with the Red Pill hegemony, and in many topics – such as feminism, political correctness, SJWs, or economics – MGTOW is… Continue reading In Defense of MGTOW, Part 2
What is this site about?
A year later and I’m still not sure where ideologically this site falls under. It’s not quite libertarianism, it’s not really mainstream-conservatism, and it’s not fully neo reaction (NRx)…it some amalgamation. I find myself agreeing with NRx on anti-egalitarianism, anti-democracy, anti-SWJ, and biological realism, but I am pro-modernity. And I tend to agree with the… Continue reading What is this site about?
The Great Moderation
From Noah Smith: Big Economic Discovery! Booms Might Cause Busts But in recent times, thanks to effective fiscal and fed policy and America’s economic exceptionalism, ‘booms’ have become increasingly prolonged and ‘busts’ very brief. The Great Moderation that began in 1982 has become a ‘greater moderation’ as inflation remains tame, economic growth steady, the dollar… Continue reading The Great Moderation
Wealthy foreigners bought $100 billion in US real estate
More American exceptionalism: Wealthy foreigners bought $100 billion in US real estate So much for the ‘post America’ era that many leftist pundits predicted in 2008 and 2009 – the exact opposite has happened. From surging stocks, to the unending inflow of foreign capital, to a strong dollar, America has been emboldened, it’s economic hegemony… Continue reading Wealthy foreigners bought $100 billion in US real estate
The Virtues of the Sharing Economy
Airbnb and Uber’s sharing economy is one route to dotcommunism We’re seeing the rise of the ‘sharing economy’ as overpaid, redundant, inefficient 9-5 jobs become a thing of the past, replaced by temp workers, automation, or are simply eliminated, or as I wrote in an earlier article, In Praise of Low Wages: The boom of… Continue reading The Virtues of the Sharing Economy
Greece … Much Ado About Nothing
Funny tweet by Josh Brown, The Reformed Broker: The reason we're all getting sick of the Greek drama is they haven't killed off any main characters yet and its already season 5. — Downtown Josh Brown (@ReformedBroker) June 15, 2015 Liberal website vox.com is fanning the flames of crisis for clicks and ad dollars: Larry… Continue reading Greece … Much Ado About Nothing
