From quillette Dealing With a Once-In-A-Century Pathogen In 2018, Gates made another warning. Noting that people can now travel across the globe in a matter of hours, he said that a pathogen similar to SARS could kill 30 million people in six months.   A new pathogen has now emerged. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was… Continue reading Is the Coronavirus a Once-In-A-Century Pathogen? Likely not

In regard to Super Tuesday, If I had to wager, Trump will likely be reelected regardless of who the nominee is, but I cannot put a specific probability on it. I cannot say it will be a blowout. It could be like 2016 in which Trump wins the electoral college but loses the popular vote.… Continue reading The left’s only hope

From Vox Day’s blog Extremists vs moderates The reality is that every successful movement requires both its extremists and its moderates. See Sinn Fein and the Irish Republican Army, or the Palestine Zionist Executive and the Irgun. In this case, the core problem that the moderates face is that no matter how flawless their optics… Continue reading Like it or not, civic nationalism has worked

People are collectively losing their minds over the coronavirus. The S&P 500 had its worst week since the 2008 financial crisis, falling 10%. Many reputable sources have resigned themselves to believing that the coronavirus will inevitably get worse. I’ve heard some sources say that all countries and everyone will be infected, so all 8 billion… Continue reading Not worried about coronavirus

From Quillette Don’t Blame Neoliberalism for ‘Postmodern Conservatism’ The premise of the article is wrong. For the past few years, since Brexit and the election of Trump, liberals have been pushing this narrative that liberal democracy is in retreat, dying, in decline, etc. The evidence suggests liberal democracy is not in decline, but rather (as… Continue reading Liberalism, liberal democracy not in retreat

From Vox Day’s blog A reckoning is here Once again, Vox is predicting crisis and reckoning where none exists. He predicted in 2018-2019 that there would be arrests and that the dems are in ‘full panic’ mode due to Trump purportedly draining the swamp. As it turned out, there were major arrests, those being Roger… Continue reading Speaking too soon again

The 2020 Real Clear Politics Democratic nominee odds confirm what I have suspected for awhile: that political predictions are worthless: Having been wrong about Trump being impeached, I have stopped making political predictions/forecasts in regard things in which there is voting involved. It’s easy to forecast a general trend, but much harder to forecast discrete… Continue reading Political Forecasts/Predictions are Worthless

There has been a ton of talk in recent days about eugenics, stemming from a Richard Dawkins tweet in which he said that ‘eugenics works,’ but also added the caveat that he still opposes it for humans even though eugenics is used to select for certain traits in regard to animal breeding, for example. This… Continue reading Eugenics Debate

From Jim’s blog Trump’s struggle for power I could have told you that 3 years ago. In fact, I did. In a world increasingly dominated by capital and wealth creation, no one cares about your opinions about cultural issues such as immigration. This is why Trump tweets more about the economy, low unemployment, the stock… Continue reading Trump still not in power (not gonna happen)

Dissent/alt-right bloggers such as Vox Day and Ram Z Paul talk about the need for ethno-nationalism, as opposed to civic nationalism. The former, unlike the latter, believes that a nation should be united by a common genetic/biological lineage, rather than an idea or ideal (the so-called ‘proposition nation’). But it is also opposed to interventionism,… Continue reading Problems with Ethno-States
