Charting bitcoin, it looks good, if you are inclined to gamble on charts. The recent collapse from two hundred dollars tested support at the hundred dollar mark, found plenty of support around there. By and large, it is a good idea to buy at major support levels, since a speculative property is a lot more likely to go up than to break through the support level.  If it did not …

Kermit Gosnell, partial birth abortion, and regulation
A major part of Kermit Gosnell’s business was late term abortions. The usual way to do a late term abortion is to induce childbirth, and then, as the baby’s head comes down the tubes, jab a steel straw into its head and suck out its brains with a powerful vacuum. This collapses the head, making the rest of the birth easy. However, because Gosnell was doing an abortion mill, doing …
Bitches in Tech
The internet is buzzing with the Adria Richards dongle incident that demonstrates what everyone knows, but that until now no one could say, not even me: That women in the tech industry are frequently humorless, dangerous, threatening, difficult, unreasonable, and hard to work with. In a word, bitches. That women bring drama and soap opera to the workplace, and males are unable or unwilling to prevent them.
Soft Power
Modern leftism is a plot by some white males to use women and non whites to destroy other white males. Obama is president, but he does not know what some white male has written on his teleprompter until he reads it. Spandrell complains about a Chinese billionairess piously saying the the politically correct things about democracy.
Moldbug’s solution to the moron problem
There are a large number of people who have no jobs, who make their living by voting left. Many of them, mostly the males, entertain themselves with arson, assault, and burglary, though we are seeing overweight women engaged in such manly pursuits with increasing frequency, though for the females the major recreation seems to be engaging in unprotected sex with males who demonstrate their superior manliness by mugging and arson. …
Libertarianism and Equalism.
I regard myself as a libertarian and anarcho capitalist, but I see all these Libertarians who want the the government to import unlimited numbers of underclass people from Mexico to live on welfare and vote democrat. They worry about the government intruding into people’s lives by not allowing gays to marry, and are entirely unworried about the government intruding into people’s lives to desecrate the sacrament of marriage, by forcing …
Bloomberg speaks truth to power
When I was in Sunnyvale in 2005 November, the vast majority of people who were buying million dollar houses were no-hablo-english hispanics on foodstamps with no regular job buying houses no money down. As far as I could tell, every person buying a house for over a million dollars was an unemployed underclass non white. Earlier there had been some whites buying, but by November, anyone with a credit rating …
Sequestration
The US Government is launching a big propaganda offensive on how hurtful sequestration will be, and keeps issuing lists of the horrible horrible horrible harms sequestration will cause. What the sequester reveals is that the great majority of government expenditure consists of paying people to support the Cathedral and the Democrat party.Â
Postmortem on Warmism
We are always moving leftwards, but not every leftwards program succeeds. Should one fail, they try something different. I have not published much on warmism lately, because they were defeated by Climategate, even though every academic institution, every government institution, and every group of organized scientists swore fealty to Warmism, officially proclaimed that Climategate was no big deal, and have been trying to carry on as if Climategate was no …
Civilization: Hold back the darkness
It is often said, and is true, that progressivism is in revolt against nature, but it is only true because progressivism is in revolt against the past and past knowledge, and a large part of our accumulated wisdom is knowledge of the nature of man, what humans naturally are. Progressives are not only in revolt against nature, but revolt against civilization.
