Theoretically elite colleges select people with very high scores on the college entrance exam, thus select very smart people, thus our ruling elite is composed of very smart people. There are two problems with this story. One is that they do not in fact select people with very high scores on the college entrance exam, and the other is that during the 1990s, high scores on the college entrance exam …
More clueless conservatives
The Volokh Conspiracy naively, or pretending to be naive, piously asks about the Brett Kimberlin incidents: One thing I do not comprehend about either story is the apparent reticence of local authorities. I would think local law enforcement would move heaven and earth to uncover who sicced SWAT on Patterico’s home and it is unconscionable the local authorities in Montgomery County, Maryland would sit by and allow the continued abuse …
Anonymized funding for terrorists
I was outraged to hear that Fidelity and Schwab had seemingly funded Kimberlin, but held off mentioning it because I suspected that they had merely been laundering other people’s money in their role as financial institutions – which turned out to be the case. It looks like some people funding Kimberlin unsurprisingly did not wish this to become known, thus Schwab’s name was on the check, the way the bank’s …
Clueless conservatives.
In response to Brett Kimberlin’s attacks, clueless conservatives want to conserve a system that is fundamentally broken, entirely hostile against them, and inherently structured to move ever leftwards at an ever increasing rate.Â
Soros and the rest fund domestic terrorism
Normally I would not mention this, because for me, and everyone outside the limits of acceptable discourse, that the big names of the left fund terrorism against their opponents is like reporting that bears shit in the woods and the Pope is Catholic, but lately people who foolishly thought they were within the limits of acceptable discourse have asked everyone to blog about Brett Kimberlin. So here is the requested …
Trayvon autopsy
Here is what you did not hear about Trayvon’s autopsy, the dog that did not bark. You did not hear about the mark of single blow, while Zimmerman looks like he had an argument with a cement mixer. So Trayvon attacked Zimmerman. He was bashing Zimmerman, while Zimmerman refused to fight back, screaming for help, hoping it would stop, or that help would arrive. When it became apparent that Trayvon …
God is dead
though I agree with Mencius Moldbug that it has been downhill since the restoration, it does not follow that the restoration system can be restored. For it to be restored, we would need a live God, and we don’t have one.
Effects of taxing and spending
supply side effects of large changes in fiscal policy substantially outweigh demand side effects.
Leftists intend:
And through all the transformations their movement has undergone, ultimately transforming into modern anti Christian anglosphere leftism, this thread has remained constant, that they will snatch any justification that tney are holier than thow, and thus entitled to have power over thou, and thus entitled to take righteous delight in making thou suffer.
The Laffer Curve
Let us suppose you are a smart ambitious guy, and have a big idea that you think can change the world, and make a great big pile of money. You run your idea before some angel investors, and they think it is worth a shot. So you, and they, form yourselves into a class C corporation. You are probably pretty well off, and they are probably really well off, so …
