Taleb is a liberal, continued

If it’s not already obvious enough that Nassim Taleb is a liberal, he re-tweeted this: One can argue that a retweet is not an endorsement, but if that were true, Taleb would have added commentary. I guess we know who he’s voting for. It also shows that Tooleb never supported Trump either in 2015-2017, but… Continue reading Taleb is a liberal, continued

Taleb’s latest twitter meltdown

Uh oh, it looks like Tooleb is having another fit on Twitter about those ‘race Nazis’ again: Is @clairlemon still denying that her Quillete project is into a neo-Nazi "scientific" racism ("race realism") agenda? — Nassim Nicholas Taleb (@nntaleb) July 29, 2019 In the Twitter comments, the overwhelming majority disagree with Taleb and his libeling… Continue reading Taleb’s latest twitter meltdown

Woke capital does not make sense. It is not supposed to.

Looks like I was right yet again 2 months ago telling people to buy Google stock on the dip over fears of a supposed anti-Trust investigation. Spoiler alert: nothing will happen. There’s not going to be any investigation. No one has the impetus to do it. Ppl complain about social media censorship and monopolies, but… Continue reading Woke capital does not make sense.

The ’90s and now, part 13

Ross continues…”but cold hard economic data also suggest that ours was a uniquely blessed coming-of-age: a time of low unemployment, surging productivity, strong working-class wage growth — and all without a huge overhang of public and private debt;” however, the unemployment rate currently stands at 3.8%, which is as low as it was in the… Continue reading The ’90s and now, part 13

Past and future trends for the alt-right

Aurini discuses past and future trends for the alt-right: The Tide is Returning: Logos is Rising/ The major problem for the alt/dissident-right, among other reasons, is that there is no economic or social catalyst or justification for a right-wing insurgency, especially not in America, but perhaps less so in European countries, which have weaker economies… Continue reading Past and future trends for the alt-right

The ’90s and now, part 12

Ross also laments the current state of popular culture and entertainment, “…if you prefer a zillion algorithmically-generated Netflix shows and endless Marvel sequels to ‘The Matrix’ and ‘The Sopranos,’ then God bless you,” but, culturally, with the possible exception of late 90′s cinema , which one could argue was a sort of golden era, the… Continue reading The ’90s and now, part 12

Are we in an Era of Stagnation? Likely not

Just going by the Youtube title, “An Era of Stagnation & Universal Institutional Failure” (the whole thing is 3 hours long and have not gotten around to watching it), I disagree that we are in an era of “stagnation and universal institutional failure.” If stagnation and institutional failure exists, it’s much more evident in Europe… Continue reading Are we in an Era of Stagnation?

Don’t Abolish the SAT

From Charles Murray: Abolish the SAT. This article is pretty old, so it’s possible that this does not reflect Dr. Murray’s current view about the SAT, but if it does, this is a rare instance in which I disagree with something he has written.
