The big to-do on the blogs is immigration again. As a free market capitalists and pragmatists, the Grey Enlightenment supports more high tech immigration because it will help the economy, in addition to supporting immigration reform and securing the borders. It’s doesn’t have to be a choice between only open borders or no immigration at… Continue reading Immigration
Liberal Attacks on ‘Nerd’ Culture
The slow news cycle guarantees more upside for stocks, and sure enough, the major market indexes surged 1% today. No one on Wall St. losing sleep over Putin, Israel, or Ebola – exactly as I predicted last week. I miss the IQ wars of Steven Pinker vs. Malcom Gladwell with iSteve refereeing. An interesting article… Continue reading Liberal Attacks on ‘Nerd’ Culture
The Smartest Generation, Part 2
Through the Flynn Effect and the American public school system – the most rigorous and difficult one in the world – today’s generation, also known as the millennials, is smarter than any preceding generation, and this is another reason to be optimistic that stocks and Bay Area real estate will keep going up, why America… Continue reading The Smartest Generation, Part 2
Investment Idea #1 with SVXY
Still a slow news cycle with the usual Ebola, Iraq, Gaza and Russia stories. The S&P 500 fell 2.5% last week. Just another dip buying opportunity for those keeping score at home. But some are probably asking, “How can it be a slow news cycle with all that stuff happening?” The outcome of these events… Continue reading Investment Idea #1 with SVXY
Why Can’t Optimism Coexist with HBD?
Why can’t optimism over the economy and support of the fed coexist with HBD (human bio-diversity) and right-wing and libertarian ideologies of the blogosphere? Through the Grey Enlightenment, I’m trying to forge such a connection, but the results have been poor. With the exception of Reddit and a handful of sites, in general, there is… Continue reading Why Can’t Optimism Coexist with HBD?

Enjoy the Decline? No thanks
Not much going on in this glacial news cycle. Just the usual blah blah blah about Iraq and Putin, like ambient noise of the air conditioner. The gloomers like Aaron Clarey say that America will enter a major decline due to too much debt and the usual factors that have already been covered to death,… Continue reading Enjoy the Decline? No thanks
Out of Wedlock Births: Not Exclusively a Black Problem
If you go on most conservative sites, the decay of the ‘family structure’ in America tends to be presented as a predominantly African American and Hispanic problem, and this is true, but it may come as a surprise to some that outside of America, in predominant white countries, out of wedlock birth and cohabitation has… Continue reading Out of Wedlock Births: Not Exclusively a Black Problem
Today’s Example of Bad Journalism
America’s Poorest Shoppers Are Putting Discount Stores Out Of Business Sensationalism at its worst and yet another example of liberals, such as the author of the article, wanting to see successful businesses fail or the predicting failure of successful business. Same goes for liberals freaking out over Putin – lots of hype for clicks and… Continue reading Today’s Example of Bad Journalism
Verbal Harder Than Math?
Steve Sailor and and Steve Hsu have new posts about education and IQ. Hsu’s post mentions that the infamous Terman IQ Study excluded Nobel laureates Shockley and Alvarez, possibly because highly verbal loaded test hurt their score, causing them to narrowly miss the cut-off. iSteve, referencing an article originally in the New York Times, discusses… Continue reading Verbal Harder Than Math?
