Brett “the bedbug” Stephens put out an article about Jewish IQ and success, The Secrets of Jewish Genius: It’s not about having higher I.Q.s. I think in some regards, supposed Jewish intellectual and professional dominance is overstated. I have read many science papers in fields such as math, medicine, and physics, and Jews hardly seem… Continue reading The source of Jewish success

’80s and ’90s-era conservatism was dominated by foreign policy and culture-war issues. For example, Dan Quayle in 1992 criticized the recording industry for promoting rap music that glorified violence against police officers. The 1992 Los Angeles riots could be considered a literal culture war. And there was the war on drugs, which under Reagan saw… Continue reading The evolution of the right

A not-so-great debate: These Democrats are killing me I keep seeing this trend of the intellectual/smart-left criticizing the 2020 democratic candidates, such as article above. I don’t remember it being this bad in 2016 or 2008, but either this year the candidates are exceptionally bad or the smart-left has much higher standards than usual. I… Continue reading The smart-left

Bill Ram Z Paul Gates put out this interesting video about why the left hates Trump, blaming Trump’s whiteness and his popularity among whites: I more or less agree with this. In spite of the insistence by dems of Trump’s supposed ‘white nationalist’ loyalties, if Trump is a white nationalist, his actions suggests he is… Continue reading Why the Left Hates Trump so Strongly

The elephant in the room here is that Trump got impeached. I was wrong, underestimating the ruthlessness and partisanship of the dems. I was not the only one who was wrong, but so was James Altucher, who, like myself, holds the distinction of being possibly one of a handful of people who timed the post-2009… Continue reading The Impeachment

One narrative I hear a lot is that diversity is destabilizing to society and will cause the downfall or disintegration of America, but if this is true, why would the elite push for something that jeopardizes their power? The elite have more power now than ever before, and want to keep it that way if… Continue reading Elites , diversity, and unrest

From the Reformed Broker Listing the five greatest investors ever I don’t agree that Jim Simons, who is the founder of Renaissance Technologies, should be included on the list of the greatest mangers, because in spite of the intense interest surrounding his fund, its methodology is still opaque. Nothing is known about how it made… Continue reading “The greatest investors ever”

Slavoj Žižek: “Why I Am Still A Communist”. The 2019 Holberg Debate with Slavoj Žižek & Tyler Cowen Dr. Žižek holds the distinction of being one of the few far-leftists who isn’t down-voted and pilloried to oblivion in the YouTube comments. I’m trying to figure how and why this guy is so popular when communism,… Continue reading The popularity of Slavoj Žižek, explained

The S&P 500 keeps making new highs. Already it is at 3180, a gain of 130 points since I put out an update a month ago. Looking at the chart and drawing some trend lines, I extrapolate a target of 3800 by the end of 2021, but I think 4,200 or more is easily doable… Continue reading Market Update 12/13/2019

I told you he’s not that smart> This is pretty funny. Nick Fuentes keeps rebuking Vox Day’s invitation to debate him. Vox wants to debate Nick to prove how much intellectually superior he is, and or to pin Nick between a rock and hard place of having to either take a certain position on the… Continue reading Nick is not gonna debate you Vox
