Christianity could be inherently liberal – the idea of the perfectibility, malleability, and salvation of man through deeds and other extrinsic virtues, versus salvation through intrinsic factors such as IQ. Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s writings inspired the French Revolution and is the genesis of modern liberalism. From Wikipedia: Discourse on the Origin and Basis of Inequality Among… Continue reading Liberalism and the Perfectibility of Man

IMHO, neo reaction – unlike a political party – is less about engendering action, but more about the acknowledgement and description of reality, as conveyed through articles, blogs, videos, and books. It’s like a think tank, providing resources that politicians, thinkers and business leaders can draw inspiration and information from, without actually getting involved in… Continue reading What Should Neo Reaction Believe In?

The 10,000 hour ‘rule’ has been so thoroughly discredited that to discuss it further is beating a dead horse, but I can’t resist. Andy Weir’s debut novel, The Martian, was an overnight success, surpassing seasoned authors who have decades of writing experience. Sure he did some writing in the past on his personal blog, but… Continue reading So much for that 10,000 hour rule

1. The market being manipulated/bubble. There was hardly a peep by the left about conspiracies when the markets crashed in 2007-09, but now the liberals on Zerohedge and Market Ticker are going on about shadow banking, dark pools, and other plots to make investors rich. Nevermind fundamentals such as blowout profits and earnings, blowout consumer… Continue reading Things that I am sick of people complaining about

You thought the incantations of doom and gloom from Zerohedge and Karl Denninger would supersede economic reality, HBD, and American exceptionalism? Oh how mistaken you were. For as far… Continue reading Economic Fallacies

Hitler and the socialist dream Of course, there are many similarities between Stalinism (along with Maoism and other Marxist/Leninist variants) and Nazism: unwavering fealty by the citizenry to the apparatus of power, extensive central planning, ‘ends justifying the means’ taken to an extreme, and grave punishment exacted on those either deemed unworthy or disloyal to… Continue reading Nazism = Marxism?

From Lion’s Blog: Scarce goods in a post-scarcity economy The belief that ‘post scarcity’ will make all goods cheap and abundant is fanciful thinking. While it’s true that the price of some goods relative to income (electricity, food, appliances, computers, television) have fallen, other goods and services have not such as cable TV, internet access,… Continue reading The Daily View: Post Scarcity, Divine Rights, Doom and Gloom, The Two Tenets of Leftism

From Scott’s blog Black People Less Likely One must tread carefully when discussing matters pertaining to race. Emotions often run strong, and people tend to take arguments personally even if the subject matter has nothing to do with their personal lives. Inevitably the question that arises is why blacks are underrepresented in science fields, and… Continue reading Blacks Being Underrepresented

We’re still in the eye of the storm of the slowest news cycle ever, in agreement of earlier predictions that 2015, like 2014, will go down as yet another uneventful but prosperous year for America, web 2.0, Silicon Valley and the overall economy. There are the usual things going on – Greece, ISIS, Ukraine.. stuff… Continue reading Don’t Bet Against America (America as an HBD success story)
