The stock market (or what I call the HBD bull market, because high-IQ people are the main beneficiaries of the expansion, but also high-IQ businesses like Google and Microsoft are contributing the most too it, too) is relentless.

Milo dumps on Ben Shapiro and the ‘never-trumpers’: Ben Shapiro & Milo Yiannopoulos ROASTING each other “Ben Shapiro has been cast into the media wilderness!” As the trite saying goes, people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. I don’t like either of these figures much, but Milo is not as big as he… Continue reading Yes, the ‘never-Trumpers’ were wrong, but it doesn’t matter anymore

Jordan Peterson says not to take notes during lectures: IMHO, for most people this is bad advice, or at least it’s bad advice unless you’re as smart as Jordan Peterson. Jordan Peterson in a June 2017 video says he has an IQ of 150…this is a very high score, obtainable by only 1/10,000 of the… Continue reading Jordan Peterson says not to take notes during lectures. Is he right? Probably not

This is going viral: Readers of this blog would have not made that mistake.

Trump still not in power This does not come as a surprise, and I have long maintained that the only way for Trump to gain more power is if he’s put in a situation where he can rise to the occasion; for example, if there is a major crisis and his powers are expanded, like… Continue reading Trump is still not in power
