Saw this article going viral IQ rates are dropping in many developed countries and that doesn’t bode well for humanity. And a related video by Stefan Molyneux: As Stefan notes, I was surprised this was published by NBC News, a mainstream news source. This is further evidence of HBD going mainstream. So if IQ scores… Continue reading The IQ Decline, Part 2

Came across this Friends, Enemies, and the Anti-Christian Right Wow this is quite a searing indictment of libertarianism, sociological theory, and historical materialism. He lumps a lot of groups as the enemy: The latter is primarily made up of libertarians, Silicon Valley technocrats and transhumanists, “Blood and Soil” paleoconservatives like Ann Coulter and the late… Continue reading An indictment of the alt-right

The left (and also some on the right) are ecstatic over plans by the DOJ to investigate Google for antitrust. Memories of the infamous United States v. Microsoft Corp case come to mind, but similar to the Muller report, which yielded nothing despite great hope by the left that it would deliver the evidence of… Continue reading Justice Department Preparing Antitrust Investigation of Google

I saw this article from the Tim Ferriss Blog, Ten Lessons I Learned While Teaching Myself To Code, in which technology columnist Clive Thompson explains how he taught himself to code: Join the club! We live in a time when, as the venture capitalist Marc Andreessen famously put it, “…software is eating the world.” So… Continue reading Can journalists become coders? Probably

I agree with Stefan about IQ and many other topics, but he’s wrong about the national debt: Government control of currency is a modern form of debt slavery/serfdom, because it causes babies to be born in debt. In America, babies are born owing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Just think about that the next time… Continue reading Explaining the national debt: why I’m not concerned

I think Vox Day may be on to something about how much of science is just BS. Not saying that all science is BS, but I think a lot of what is taken as ‘scientific truth’ may be false when held to greater scrutiny and or outside of strict, artificial lab conditions. A google search… Continue reading MMA proves that science is BS

Tim is usually right, but he’s off the mark here. The media has been saying that ‘valuations are too high’ since at least 2012 when Facebook went public at $38/share, which was considered to be a disappointment at the time. It now trades at $185…so much for that. Not only has Facebook stock increased nearly… Continue reading Tim Pool wrong about tech valuations

Things have been pretty slow lately as I predicted a month ago they would be because Trump is pretty much in hibernation mode, and as 2019 progresses, things will get even slower leading up to the first debates and primaries of 2020 election, when things should start to pick up again. There’s less discussion in… Continue reading Trump & 2020 update

Although the US economy, stock market, and corporate profits have boomed, many middle-class jobs and sectors have been permanently gutted, and the low unemployment rate masks the fact that record number of men, in particular, have dropped-out, going on disability. Furthermore the labor market is increasingly bifurcated. The greatest relative job growth in the post-2008… Continue reading The ’90s and now, part 6

There has been a ton of news lately regarding China’s social credit system: China’s new ‘social credit system’ is a dystopian nightmare Although China’s government is ostensibly communist, many American conservatives share China’s affinity for using ‘big government’ programs to promote social order and national security, such as the ratification of the Patriot Act following… Continue reading China’s “Social Credit System” is probably coming to the US
