Part 1. Misconceptions About the 2008 Financial Crisis

The subject of the The 2008 banks bailouts (TARP), which understandably angered both Republicans and Democrats, a pertinent case study in pragmatism, in which other otherwise inviolable free market was temporary suspended for the ‘greater good’ of the economy, but ultimately, in spite of great criticism, the bailouts proved to be a success, or at… Continue reading Part 1. Misconceptions About the 2008 Financial Crisis

The SJW Narrative Collapse

The Multicultural Narrative Is Collapsing Before Our Eyes As I predicted in 2014, there is definitely evidence of SJW narrative collapse, especially on Reddit and elsewhere, with the rise of Red Pill, Dark Enlightenment, and other anti-SJW movements and ideologies. Online, whenever a story breaks out about the public school war on boys or about… Continue reading The SJW Narrative Collapse

Purple Policies, Part 2

From Charles Murray: The Trouble With Kids Today Again, my underlying point is simple. IQ has a substantial direct correlation with measures of success in life, and it is also correlated with a variety of other characteristics that promote success—perseverance, deferred gratification, good parenting, and the aspects of personality that are variously called “emotional intelligence”… Continue reading Purple Policies, Part 2

The Great Debate Again: Jobs vs. Automation

Again from Aaron: The Luddite Fallacy has a long history of being a fallacy. There are new jobs replacing obsolete ones. And in other instances, automation and jobs can coexist.

Breaking the Tuition Feedback Loop

From Aaron Clarey: On Reddit, 4chan, the blogospehre, and on Youtube, there are three ‘great debates’ that have been raging since 2013: SJWs/Gawker vs. Redpill/PUA/MRA/Gamergate, the largest most heated of the three, is an internet version of the age-old left vs. right schism, but the battle is waged on Twitter, Tumblr, Reddit, and blogs instead… Continue reading Breaking the Tuition Feedback Loop

Neo Masculinity and Christianity, Darwinian Conservatism, Free Will, Biological Reality

An interesting post from Return of Kings: Why Christianity Is Not An Enemy Of Neomasculinity I’m not sure who ever said it was. Atheists within the neo-masculinity movement, in contrast to the smug atheists who watch Colbert and Daily Show, don’t have enmity towards Christians. They may not agree with Christianity, but this disagreement is… Continue reading Neo Masculinity and Christianity, Darwinian Conservatism, Free Will, Biological Reality

Hillary the Lesser of Two Evils

From Canto Talk: The Democrats are really socialists now That’s right. There is no real difference, and that is not a good path to national election for the Democrats. President Clinton tried to move the party to the center. He worked with the GOP to pass welfare reform and signed free trade agreements like NAFTA.… Continue reading Hillary the Lesser of Two Evils

NRx and Modernity

When I discuss modernity and my support for it, it is in the context of technology and economics, as opposed to the push towards progressive social and political norms. As I argue here and here, NRx should embrace technology. The arrow of technology is irreversible. Many on the right wish to return to simpler times,… Continue reading NRx and Modernity
