The one-sided Vox Day vs. Jordan Peterson feud is the gift that keeps on giving. The whole thing is amusing. Dr. Peterson will not respond. Vox Day will not relent. One of Vox’s arguments against Jordan Peterson is that he is is ‘false opposition’–that is, Dr. Peterson is intentionally misleading his followers by pretending to… Continue reading Vox Day vs. Jordan Peterson, Take 5

Trump Slipping Backwards On Immigration
From Derb published on Unz.com: Slipping Backwards On Immigration—Get On It, Mr. President! You got elected largely on this, Mr. President. We’re a year and a half in, and nothing’s happened. And that’s pretty much what I predicted in early 2017 would happen–nothing. At the time I felt maybe I had jumped to conclusions and… Continue reading Trump Slipping Backwards On Immigration
Wealth, Intellectualism, and Individualism, Part 11 (evolution of online journalism)
To take a trip down memory lane, as early as 2000 and all the way until 2010 so, you could get articles viral by provoking emotional triggers. Although emotional triggers still work, people have become much less impressionable, especially as of 2013, and now you need data visualizations, graphs, code excerpts, cartoons, and other accouterments… Continue reading Wealth, Intellectualism, and Individualism, Part 11 (evolution of online journalism)
Vox Day vs. Jordan Peterson, take 4

The Intellectual Dark Web
This is pretty interesting Meet the Renegades of the Intellectual Dark Web (IDW). Not only did this blog correctly predict economics and fiance stuff, but it also predicted an intellectual movement. This agrees with the themes I have been writing about for the past three years, especially as it pertains to the rise of centrism… Continue reading The Intellectual Dark Web
Shoddy reporting from Bloomberg View
Remember Inflation? It’s coming to a grocery store near you. Bloomberg is either so biased against Trump or so naive of economics, that they are inventing an inflation problem when none exists. In an earnings conference call last week, a little-known private label food company told investors and analysts that it had little choice other… Continue reading Shoddy reporting from Bloomberg View
Vox Day vs. Jordan Peterson, take 3
If you think I’m too hard on Taleb, in the span of just a few weeks Vox Day has written more articles about Jordan Peterson than I have written about Taleb in over two years of blogging.

Unknown unknowns
I’ve been trying to put my finger on why things seem so ‘slow’ in spite of purported chaos of the Trump administration. The answer is, although there are a lot of unknowns and uncertainties (FBI, Korea, Syria, immigration, Russia, etc.), they are ‘known’. In 2002 Donald Rumsfeld famously said: Reports that say that something hasn’t… Continue reading Unknown unknowns

The Kanye West – Scott Adams media backfire
I’m sure by now everyone has heard about the Scott Adams and Kanye West story . The media’s reaction demonstrates the divide between the the media and the general public, and how the mainstream media–but also celebrity media–continues to demonstrate how out of touch with reality it is. When the story broke of Kanye approvingly… Continue reading The Kanye West – Scott Adams media backfire
