It is apparent that the modern institution of marriage is profoundly ill suited for producing and raising one’s biological children. I suggest, therefore, that just as we no longer use the word “gay†to mean merry and light hearted, we introduce a new word and new kind of contract, reproductive contracts, for people who intend to have children together and raise them. And for “marriageâ€, allow anyone to marry anyone, or any group of people or animals, for any length …

Seven felonies a day
A few years back I remarked that the average respectable middle class male had committed hundreds of felonies, each worth many years jail time. Things have become worse since then:
Global warming causes mandatory evacuation
the ideology of global warming causes mandatory evactuation.
There will be war
Brad deLong tells us: it took me only two months–two months!–to conclude that America’s best hope for sane technocratic governance required the elimination of the Republican Party from our political system as rapidly as possible. Since Republicans are supposedly terrorists, elimination is apt to mean lining them up against a wall and shooting them.
Rick Perry, multiculturalist
On the campaign trail, seeking the republican presidential nomination, he piously bows his head in prayer, he supposedly doubts evolution, but he imposed on Texas schools a course denigrating Christianity and whitewashing Islam.
Rick Perry and the underclassing of America
Rick Perry proposed to give every female child Gardasil vaccine at government expense. Gardasil protects against a sexually transmitted disease that causes cancer in women and male homosexuals. It rarely affects male heterosexuals in advanced countries. The vaccine is expensive, and has dangerous side effects, so should only be given to those that need it: sluts sexually active females and gays. If a girl is planning to ride the cock carousel, then she should definitely take it shortly before she …
Chicks dig jerks, 1513AD edition
In “the Princeâ€, Machiavelli observed: fortune is a woman, and if you wish to keep her under it is necessary to beat and ill-use her; and it is seen that she allows herself to be mastered by the adventurous rather than by those who go to work more coldly. She is, therefore, always, woman-like, a lover of young men, because they are less cautious, more violent, and with more audacity command her. Observe that Machiavelli is familiar with what we …
Stereotypes confirmed
The ever insightful Steve Sailer spotted a German newspaper telling the truth about the English rioters: Almost all suspects are foreigners, no job, and a sizeable criminal record. About half of the defendants are minors, yet their parents fail to show up in court. Although England has a massive native underclass, the overwhelming majority of the looting and burning was done by the imported underclass, the new people.
Affirmative action and lies
Suppose group A and group B differ in mean and distribution in some desirable or undesirable quality. Chances are that there is a lot of overlap in the middle, but when you select the very best, perhaps for some prestigious and well paid job, and the very worst, perhaps to lock them up and get them off the streets, the bell curve, the normal distribution, implies not much overlap. Because not much overlap, if the state enforces affirmative action there …
Mark Duggan did not shoot
Mark Duggan’s gun was not fired, and before his death, he expected to be murdered. This suggests that his family’s account of his killing is true – that he was not killed in an exchange of fire, but was murdered by police, in which case the attacks on police that started these riots were legitimate, no matter how illegitimate the ensuing arson, looting, and random racist assaults.
