The US no longer produces weapons grade plutonium. Supposedly this is a choice. It has asked other countries to not produce weapons grade plutonium, and to get rid of the weapons grade plutonium they do have. The economical way to destroy weapons grade plutonium is to burn it in nuclear reactors, to use it for power, which destroys some of it and irreversibly contaminates the rest with plutonium 240, making it unusable for weapons, though still usable for power. Unfortunately, …

Civilization and dysgenesis
We may reasonably suppose that the first six civilizations were founded by high IQ peoples. Their homelands are now all occupied by low IQ peoples, as for example Egypt and the Indus Valley. And any smart people currently in the vicinity of the Indus valley are descended from foreign invaders who conquered a low IQ population that had lost or was losing the capability to operate cities and irrigation. The Maya created writing and the positional number system, and used …
Common Core Explained
tl;dr Problem: If you try to teach children reading, writing, and arithmetic, People of Color will underperform. Thus teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic has disparate impact. Solution: Yo Stop teaching dem dat racist whitey sheeit what ‘chew thinkin’ man? A child who has been educated with common core is a child who cannot do maths, cannot spell correctly, nor write grammatically. He is cut off from the past two thousand years of civilization.
Fertility and corporal punishment
To 1933, wives in movies are never spanked by their husbands. From 1933 to 1945, wives in movies are sometimes spanked, but it is shocking, unexpected and unusual. From 1945 to 1963, wives in movies and on television are sometimes spanked and it is routine, respectable, and usual. For example in “I love Lucy” we are never shown a spanking on screen, but Lucy is regularly very afraid of receiving a well deserved spanking for her many amusing misdeeds. In …
Report on moonshine
About a year ago, I produced thirty liters of moonshine. Tasted as if distilled from dead rats and kerosine Double distilled it. Still tasted as if distilled from dead rats and kerosine. Forgot about it for a year. After a year, tried it again. Not bad at all.
Trump explains crony capitalism to the masses
If you already know all the stuff that Trump is explaining, his speech is kind of dull, but for leftists and normals, it is full of shocking news, as for example the Obama policy of swiftly releasing violent immigrant criminals to continue predating on white people in order to drive us out, or simply kill us. That was pretty boring to me. Of course our rulers want us dead. Remember that incident with Angela Merkel and the flag. Also bears …
Patriarchy and fertility
We observe high fertility in those nations and cultures where patriarchy is legally and socially enforced, in particular Muslim Afghanistan and Christian Timor Leste. Affordability of family formation has little effect. Clearly males in patriarchal societies are highly motivated to have children. They will do whatever it takes so that they can afford a family. Thus, if pro social behavior in a patriarchal society is rewarded by a wife and the ability to support a family, you get highly motivated …
Defense of capitalism:
Reactionary future criticizes capitalism from the right. Capitalists have power independent of the state. They are apt to use that power politically. Example George Soros. By and large, capitalists overwhelming back the left. But, if they back the left, they are sucking up to power, or like the NGOs, serving the state when the state wants a smidgen of deniabity. For example you cannot see daylight between George Soros in the Ukraine, Harvard in the Ukraine, and the State Department …
Fixing housing, health, and education.
Housing, health, and education are unaffordable. So people think something must be done, and punishing the rich sounds like something. Hence Sanders. Housing Getting stuff zoned for building houses is basically illegal, and when you somehow bribe and litigate enough bureaucrats to get houses built, tends to be overrun by inferior races who make the housing very cheap by driving out whites – typically around a quarter of the cost of building stuff, so if you build, you lose your …
Bitcoin crisis
Back in the beginning, I argued bitcoin would not scale. The counter argument was that we could muddle our way through somehow with ad hoc solutions, which could be sort of true, in principle. The scaling problems started to bite in 2013. They are now biting really hard. The scaling problems are now well and truly here. Downloading the blockchain is slow and expensive. Doing transactions is slow, unpredictable, expensive, and unpredictably expensive. Any solutions hurt, are partial, incomplete, unsatisfactory, …
