I don’t understand how someone who believes in HBD in so far as educational attainment or crime are concerned, it does not apply to obesity too. What is possibly more biological than how the body processes or partitions nutrients (e.g. into energy or fat?), or individual preferences for food: The least obese states are where… Continue reading Blaming Obesity on Low IQs

From Rob K. Henderson: Why Young Women Are Becoming More Liberal Than Young Men: The Gender-Equality Paradox. Students are more liberal at higher ranked schools (vs. lower ranked schools) The higher up the college rankings you go, the larger the political gender divide gets I keep seeing this repeated as if it’s a truism. I… Continue reading Skepticism that high-ranking colleges are more woke

Bitcoin crash continues, down $3k overnight. Yeah, I know I sound like a broken record. This is the 4th or so time it has ‘crashed’ over the past 3 months, but it’s not a matter of ‘if’ it goes $20k, but when. Looking at the chart, it’s evident that this is a replay of 2022.… Continue reading $20k Bitcoin Target Coming Up

Apparently there are a lot of Jews in the alt/dissident-right (e.g. Steve Sailer, Moldbug, Lomez). The possibility of Sailer being Jewish does not factor into my opinion of him. This comes off as purity-testing by those who have made it an issue. This does not mean I agree with everything he says, but directionally he… Continue reading Why Jews are Overrepresented in Politics and Intellectual Movements

Item 1: Closed out GME at profit. It could have been more, but profits are better than losses. It began to crash this morning as the luster faded. We see the mainstream financial media and social media (as if there is a distinction between the two anymore) working in concert to create as much hype… Continue reading The Daily View: GameStop Falls, Bitcoin Falls (again), Test-Optional Struck Down

Added to some GameStop (ticker: GME) a month ago when Keith Gill (aka Roaring Kitty) first returned, at around $26/share. So far I’m up considerably on the position. It was a small allocation relative to my overall portfolio, but it did contribute probably a few percentage points to my overall year-over-year return, so it was… Continue reading The justification for buying GME, and how GME is manipulated

Freddie deBoer takes a shot at Matt Yglesias for failing to appreciate the role his privileged background played in his success: The last point gets to what some will call a personal attack, but which I think is actually entirely impersonal: he reminds me very much of other rich kids I’ve known who have never… Continue reading Talent is a Scarcer Resource than Wealth

GameStop surges after meme stock investor ‘Roaring Kitty’ resurfaces online. After a three-year slumber, Keith Gill aka Roaring Kitty, resurfaced on Twitter to promote GameStop stock. The resulting hype, harkening back to the ‘meme stock’ days of 2021, sent GameStop shares surging as high as 100% on heavy volume, and then as much as 50%… Continue reading SEC Inattention to GameStop Manipulation Proof of Double-Standard Favoring Celebrities

Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced former CEO and co-founder of the dissolved cryptocurrency exchange FTX was sentenced to 25 years in federal prison. His meteoric rise and literally overnight downfall is symptomatic of a society in which individual success is the ultimate thing to aspire to, in which low-level sociopathy is an asset or a means… Continue reading Sam Bankman-Fried’s Indictment is an Indictment on Society
