I know this is sort beating a dead horse, but Nassim Tooleb beyond any shadow of a doubt has revealed himself to be an SJW (at at the very least , sympathetic to them): Comment by this Molyneux fan is what makes one not too sorry about the canceling. I've had tons from his customer… Continue reading Taleb stands with ‘cancel culture’

Saw this article going viral Why Do We Pay So Many People So Little Money? The authors of the report, Martha Ross and Nicole Bateman, both of the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program, calculated that “more than 53 million people — 44 percent of all workers aged 18-64 — are low-wage workers by our criteria. They… Continue reading Blame low IQs for unemployment and low wages

From The Reformed Broker: If you’re not willing to accept being down, you’ll never have the chance to be up. There’s no strategy, formula, tactic, research service or insight that can make it otherwise. Renaissance Technologies is getting its ass kicked this year. Double-digit losses. No firm or fund has ever made more money or… Continue reading No, Renaissance Technologies Did Not Lose 20%

It occurred to me that the biggest winners of the past 5 months, during the duration of Covid and then later the BLM protests and riots, are high-income/wealthy people who have moderate/centrist views and high social status, and are insulated from the disruption and unrest. Guys like Tim Pool and Joe Rogan, but also Jeff… Continue reading The Biggest Winners and Losers

In regard to the push by BLM to ‘defund the police’, which is a red herring–the police are almost certainty not going to be defunded, and even most liberals are opposed to the idea–it is interesting nonetheless to entertain the hypothetical of how privatized or downsized policing could work, and the positive and negative implications… Continue reading Downsizing and Privatizing the Police, some Implications

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 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.
