George Soros and other wealthy donors are probably funding BLM and antifa, but so what

A common refrain for the past couple years or so is that left-wing billionaires such as George Soros are secretly funding protests and radicalized groups, such as BLM and antifa, and or are helping to engender social unrest, such as most recently in regard to protests over George Floyd’s death. Vox Day and Unz are… Continue reading George Soros and other wealthy donors are probably funding BLM and antifa, but so what

Everything is being accelerated

It seems like everything has been accelerated. 2020 may go down as one of the most eventual years in recent history, or even the past 50 years. 2020 has given us: 1. 2020 presidential election , which will probably be the biggest, most contentious, and most costly to date, pitting two over-sized septuagenarian egos against… Continue reading Everything is being accelerated

The left inciting civil unrest to tank economy and Trump, after Covid fails to do the job

The stock market keeps recovering, as I correctly predicted it would. The S&P 500 is at 3070, having recovered most of its Covid losses. All the stockw that for years I have been recommending have done well and some have made news highs, such as Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Tesla, etc. This is why when… Continue reading The left inciting civil unrest to tank economy and Trump, after Covid fails to do the job

George Floyd and Civil Unrest

Usually Twitter will delete offending tweets or… Continue reading Trump takes on Twitter

The Only Fans Nation

I keep seeing stories about Only Fans, which has seen a surge in popularity attributable to the pandemic. The smart-left and smart-right are unified in opposing moralizing in regard to onylfans usage. Rather than moralizing , which implies imposing one’s values of how society ought to be, the emphasis is on understanding why society is… Continue reading The Only Fans Nation

China-US worse case scenario

As I have been saying on the blog for years, I don’t believe there will be any deterioration of US-China relations beyond the usual tariffs and hawkish rhetoric. The media, on either side of the aisle, is hoping for US-China relations to suddenly take a turn for worse, but that refuses to happen. It’s just… Continue reading China-US worse case scenario

The smart fraction/faction theory of economic growth and success

Interesting finding Cognitive Capitalism: The Effect of Cognitive Ability on Wealth, as Mediated Through Scientific Achievement and Economic Freedom, by Heiner Rindermann and James Thompson, 2011. Average national IQ correlates well with GDP per capita and other measures of development. But is average national IQ really the right number to look at? “Smart fraction theory”… Continue reading The smart fraction/faction theory of economic growth and success
