If we cannot build high buildings any more, progressives say we are now so sophisticated that we are now superior to status competition based on giant penis substitutes, and status competition based on having a higher corner office than the other business executives. If high art is an aids infested trannie projectile vomiting over the audience, progressives say that we philistines just don’t get high art. But the most important …
Joo talk
I regard all religions as at best useful pretenses that provide divine authority for ancient truths, sensible collective behavior, and sensible individual behavior, at worst as memetic diseases, and am apt to give advice to the religious on the basis of what would make a useful pretense. Â Such advice is not always enthusiastically received. I have long argued that Jews should actually do what everyone accuses them of doing: Â Have …
Sunshine Mary bows out
I will greatly miss you, Sunshine.

Raising fertility
Singapore has terminal fertility – a fertility rate so low that it is likely to end Singapore. Smart people go to Singapore, and just do not reproduce. Black hole dysgenesis.

Ukraine government fades
Government is a shared pretense. We imagine governments into existence. Blatant puppetry can puncture the illusion.

Later in the day its commander agreed to hand over the soldiers’ assault rifles to the very separatists they were sent to fight. Another …
On the attack on Sunshine Mary
Some boring people are attacking Sunshine Mary in particular and the entire Manosphere in general. According to Matt Forney, Sunshine Mary said various things about her own life and activities, and the truth is various other things. I am a big fan of Sunshine Mary and yet don’t remember her saying most of those things, and if she did say those things, to find out the truth on those matters …
wife goggles

If they are separated from their wife for a year or so, for example by divorce, the wife goggles fall off. Wife goggles appear to happen primarily to fathers.

US State Department hints at invading Ukraine
We currently are working with Ukraine to determine its requirements across the security sector. Based on those requirements, we will review options for potential additional security assistance. This follows the path that the Soviet Union followed into Afghanistan. The Soviet Union mistreated its allied government in Afghanistan, after the style of Darth Vader I am altering the deal. Pray I don’t alter it any further. The allied government, upon being …
Real Rebellion in Ukraine
Reuters shows a video of these people seizing the police station, mayor’s offices, and so forth Observe, no two in quite the same uniform.
