Bret Weinstein on Joe Rogan

Bret Weinstein recently was on the Joe Rogan show Dr. Weinstein starts off on a pessimistic note, saying that things will get worse in terms of the culture wars and civil unrest, with the George Floyd protests being the latest manifestation of a longer-term trend of unrest and opposition to ‘enlightenment values,’ although I wish… Continue reading Bret Weinstein on Joe Rogan

Dave Chappelle Special

Dave Chappelle put out an impromptu Netflix special, 8:46 , which is in reference to the number of minutes and seconds the officer keeled on George Floyd’s neck.

The memory hole pandemic

Greg Cochran hasn’t been writing about Covid-19 as much as he has in the past, and without the the same sense of urgency. His most recent entry, a short post from June 8th titled At the Mountains of Madness, has nothing to to with Covid, but rather concerns H.P. Lovecraft’s views on insanity. His penultimate… Continue reading The memory hole pandemic

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
