A lot has been written about the characteristics or traits of top performers. What makes them different? It would seem like they are cut from an entirely different cloth compared to everyone else. It’s like magic what they are capable of doing. some characteristics: 1. They do not necessarily work harder, but work smarter. They… Continue reading The characteristics or traits of top performers (and why you’re screwed)

Looks like I was right again. Richard Hanania survived his attempted cancellation with flying colors, as I predicted. Not only was his book not cancelled, but pre-order sales have surged. ‘Cancel culture’ arguably peaked in 2010-2017 or so. The left’ ability to cancel has been significantly diminished since the mid 2010s due to a combination… Continue reading Cancellation fail

I saw this going viral I’m so sorry for psychology’s loss, whatever it is Psychology is unloved, and deservedly so.

Today there was an attempt of a recovery on ETF approval news: Grayscale’s Court Win Over SEC Lifts Hopes for Bitcoin ETF Approval. A lot of people misinterpreted this to mean an ETF would be approved. Noooope. It doesn’t really change anything. Rejection is still on the table. This article from Reuters sums up the… Continue reading BTC getting ready to dump again, ETF approval still a longshot

It is too bad to see Compact Magazine, which originally intellectually positioned itself as an alternative to the mainstream, succumb mainstream labels such as ‘racism’ or ‘eugenics’ as substitutes for the debate of ideas . A recent article Against the Eugenicons, by Michael Lind, comes off as virtue signaling and a character attack against someone… Continue reading Compact Magazine vs ‘the Eugenicons’

The hype over BRICs has always been stupid and does not threaten the US dollar or US economy hegemony or deserve as much hype as it has gotten. According to wiki: BRICs is a grouping of the world economies of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa formed by the 2010 addition of South Africa… Continue reading BRICs has always been a joke

I saw this video by Marcel Gautreau, who argues that prisons ‘do not work’, are inhumane, and advocates for something better, like corporal punishment: I came across Mr. Gautreau a few weeks ago when one of his articles went viral. He is a PhD candidate at George Mason University, and runs a Substack blog, Dispatches… Continue reading Corporal punishment is not a good deterrent, and is a poor substitute for prisons

After a brief attempt at a reprieve yesterday, the death spiral resumes: That is why I don’t sweat it, cuz gains never hold in the world of crypto, in which whoever loses the least amount of money is the biggest winner. If you broke even on your crypto investment, consider yourself among the lucky few.… Continue reading Crypto crash resumes: The future is not crypto, but instead big tech companies
