Bored now, which is why I have not mentioned it in a while. Democracy produced the wrong result in Ukraine, so the Cathedral staged a coup. The instrument of the coup was the Maidan movement, which is supposedly an indigenous Ukrainian movement, but its web page is in English in the distinctive dialect of the American ruling elite. Intercepted phone conversation revealed that State Department regarded the nominal leaders of …
leftism as cancer
“Leftism as Cancer” stopped being accessible through google in the course of a blog backup and restore, so reposting it. Leftism is to memes as cancer is genes. If the cells of the body mutate, cells that multiply at the expense of the body will be selected. And cells that mutate to a faster mutation rate will be selected, since they will have more fast multiplying variants. In a healthy …
The rectification of names part one
Bigot, bigoted: Originally meant a sanctimonious person, someone holier than thou, someone who uses his purported holiness to gain advantage over other people. Now, anyone who uses the word is a sanctimonious person who is holier than thou and uses his purported holiness to gain advantage over other people. Racist, racism: Never had any coherent original meaning. Now is a hate word for white, frequently used preparatory to murder and …
Muslim predation in Rotheram
In the not very large Yorkshire town of Rotheram, population two hundred fifty thousand, about fourteen hundred girls, almost all of them non Muslims, were subjected to “appalling sexual exploitation” by Muslims. It seems likely this problem exists at similar levels throughout much of England. Reading the report, it seems that slutty children, and the slutty families of slutty children (typically single and divorced women) were subject to extreme coercion …
Moravec’s paradox, RNA, and uploads.
Moravec’s paradox is the hard problems are easy and the easy problems are hard. A computer can beat the world’s greatest chess player at chess, but it cannot beat a spider at getting around. If humans have been working on a problem for a thousand years, you can program a computer to do it. If evolution has been working on a problem for a hundred million years, not so easy. …
Marriage is gay
When two gays “marry”, the point is not to have sex with each other, but rather to go cruising together for pickups, as wingmen. Predictably, gay style marriage is now being promoted to heterosexuals. Because otherwise, discrimination.
Supposedly black Egypt
Lately a lot of progressive blacks have complained that Ridley Scott’s movie “Exodus” is racist for depicting Egyptians as Egyptian and Hebrews as white. They want them all to be depicted black. Ancient Egyptians in their art depict themselves as yellowish brown, somewhat arab looking, pretty similar to the way pharaoh is depicted in Ridley Scott’s movie. They depict blacks as black, with exaggerated negro features, and show them in …
Ferguson chimp out
Short recap of the Ferguson story: Michael Brown, a huge black man helped himself to some tobacco in a shop, then strong armed the shopkeeper rather than paying. He then walked down the street, expecting traffic to get out of his way. When a policeman told him to stop jaywalking, he attacked the policeman, forced his way into the policeman’s car, and attempted to take the cops gun. The cop …
The Spandrellian trichotomy
Technology capitalism: libertarianism As the left gets ever lefter, it gets every crazier. Since the libertarian tries to make a separate peace with the left on behalf of capitalism, its craziness necessarily flows into libertarianism. Libertarians notice that capitalism, in particular the joint stock corporation based on double entry accounting, provides a great, humane, and highly productive system for creating wealth, advancing technological progress, and maximizing liberty. They therefore propose …
Arab Spring
The Cathedral, believing itself to be the holiest of them all, unleashed a power struggle in the middle east to be the holiest of them all. At present, their religion is worse than ours, but the appointment of a Caliph, elected for life, may stabilize them, while we continue to drift to ever greater heights of holiness.
