My unmarried niece failed to show up at my son’s wedding. I complained to her mother, observing that she has no life, so no excuse for not turning up. Her mother, who is my elder sister, was somewhat indignant about this and alleged that my niece had a boyfriend. I commented that since my niece was too old to be fertile, her boyfriend was not serious, unlikely to become a husband, and may well be a boyfriend only in my …

Cathedral imperialism revealed
We hear Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt discussing what role which people will play in the post coup Ukraine government, revealing that the Ukraine “opposition†are puppets, entryists, cogs in the Cathedral machine, loudspeakers for microphones held in Harvard. They discuss what orders they will give to which Ukraine politicians, and what jobs they will assign to which Ukraine politician, like the CEO discussing new employees with HR, revealing that the “Unrest” in …
The collapse of fertility
Spandrel has a post wondering where all the babies went, and whenever I propose one of the usual suspects, for example no fault divorce, denormalization of masculinity, and such, he says “Ah, but many Muslim countries also have fertility collapseâ€. Good point. So let us look at a Muslim country with dramatic fertility collapse, and see if we can find any of the usual suspects.
Now I understand the koan
Several people have been darkly amused by the koan I walked to Master Moldbug but the road was too long. I visited master Jim and he hit me with a stick. I did not understand it.  Seems to me that I am a pussycat. But now I think I understand
Reasons for the endless movement left
I have identified several different mechanisms for the endless movement left. Entryism, the conspiratorial takeover of organizations by other organizations. This is exemplified by Acorn, which has a single headquarters, but a hundred organization names, the residue of all the many organizations they have taken over. Phariseeism: The Puritans were holier than thou, their successors holier than Jesus. “I am holier than thou, therefore you should obey me.†The madness of crowds, the tendency of consensus to go horribly wrong And …
Leftism as cancer
Leftism is to memes as cancer is genes. If the cells of the body mutate, cells that multiply at the expense of the body will be selected. And cells that mutate to a faster mutation rate will be selected, since they will have more fast multiplying variants. In a healthy body, each cell lives for the body, and performs its role in the whole body, making the body one. In cancer, each cancer cell lives for itself, at the expense …
Merry Christmas everyone
The Jewish Conspiracy
A lot of people believe that the Jews act as one, that they secretively and conspiratorially pursue Jewish interests at other people’s expense. The coordination problem is hard. No one successfully acts as one. Two Jews, three factions. That is why neoreactionaries propose terrible solutions to the coordination problem, on the grounds that other, more sophisticated, solutions are even worse. The Cathedral acts more or less as one – one madman, but they have visible institutions to coordinate them, and …
Radish on anarcho tyranny
Radish is excessively unkind to anarcho capitalism, though he is correct to point out that a lot of anarcho capitalists would be quite horrified by an anarcho capitalist polity in which, because the police and judiciary were in large part the direct employees of shopping malls and suchlike, capitalists had a lot of legal authority, and even more horrified if, because suburbia was protected by heads of households, and organizations paid by heads of households, each head of household had …
Black Privilege
No Limit Nigga This is a picture of No Limit Nigga. If he does not much resemble the massively photoshopped image of Martin Trayvon you see everywhere, he nonetheless is a good match to the pre photoshopped image. The knockout game You have doubtless heard of the knockout game, where a black suckerpunches some random white in the street. Is the knockout game happening everywhere all the time and the press and police are politely ignoring it, or is it …
