Peace on Earth, and goodwill to all men. And, this being a reactionary blog, I remind you that peace on earth requires adherence to the Peace of Westphalia. The forever war in the middle east is a violation of the Peace of Westphalia, because it is fought to teach nine year old schoolgirls to put a condom on a banana, and to ensure that more women than men graduate. if …

Testosterone and weight loss
Exogenous testosterone can cause your testicles to shut down – and possibly shut down permanently. Hence the need to get off testosterone from time to time. I learned that my sperm production was down – not so low as to render me entirely infertile, but low enough to significantly impact my prospects of having another child. So, I stopped taking exogenous testosterone on May 14th. By May 27th, had gained …
Science and Christianity
You always have a state religion. If your state religion is easily falsified by the empirical facts of this world, then your state religion is going to be inherently hostile to science, technology, and industry. So, if your state religion proclaims “all men are created equal”, you have a problem. And not long after that, your state religion is proclaiming all sorts of remarkable things, most recently Global Anthropogenic Catastrophic …
Don’t vote
No matter whom you vote for, the uniparty gets elected. Electing Trump has made a big difference. But he has has not made a big enough difference to prevent the government from electing a new people. Trump’s rust belt program was undoing the great centralization. Lo and behold: Back in June 2009, in one of our earliest posts in the aftermath of the financial crisis, we took a “random walk …
The ruling underclass
Hanson, once a neoconservative, finds himself a second class citizen in a California that is increasingly strange, alien, and dangerous. I and one of my sons have mostly fled Silicon valley. The other lives in a shrinking island of whiteness that is ever more dangerous and ever more expensive, in San Francisco near the Embarcadero, near where Kathryn Steinle was murdered for being white, and her murderer acquitted, because high …
Five more years
Scott Alexander’s predictions for the next year have become ever more cautious, thus ever more boring and ever less likely to be falsified. And then he came up with a pile of wild assed stuff for the next five years: AI will be marked by various spectacular achievements, plus nobody being willing to say the spectacular achievements signify anything broader. AI will beat humans at progressively more complicated games, and …
Request for research assistance
Since our existing state religion has gone rabid in an insane holiness spiral, we are in the business of designing a Gnon compliant state religion. We need to steal from the best. If all societies had the economic system of twentieth century Hong Kong, all societies would have the economic outcomes of Hong Kong. If all societies had the healthcare system of Singapore, all societies would have the health outcomes …
The Blue Empire of the Consulates continues to collapse
Pakistan expels the NGOs. So, soft power looks like it is not doing too well in Syria, Libya, Sudan, the Philippines, Hungary, and Pakistan.
Why we need the double standard.
Chastity should be imposed on women, not men. A key that opens many locks is an awesome key. A lock that can be opened by many keys is a crappy lock. The problem is that women are hypergamous, while men are polygynous. A man wants to possess many women, while a woman wants to be possessed by the best possible man. Which means that if we let nature take its …
Trump the chess master or Trump the cuckold
First, I endorse this excellent post by Heartiste, Minion of Satan. If Trumps beats the judges on legal immigration, avoids war with Russia, and builds the wall, he is what we thought he was. Hail Trump, God Emperor. Those three items amount to making war on the deep state and winning. Missiling Syria is deeply worrying, but it is far too soon to count him out on what really matters. …
