Supposedly, the state’s theory is that Zimmerman followed Trayvon, jumped him, beat him up, then shot him. Of course no one believes this. When the prosecution questions prosecution witnesses, they make no attempt to support their supposed theory. Every prosecution witness bar one, while being questioned by the prosecution, has shot down that purported theory one way or another. It is clear from the prosecution witnesses while being questioned by the prosecution, even Trayvon’s girlfriend, that Trayvon jumped Zimmerman from …
Racism explained
Yet another excellent post by Radish. All whites are racist. Only whites can be racist. Therefore all whites need to be attacked and beaten up – starting of course, with someone like a small woman who cannot and will not fight back. This post categorized under culture rather than politics, because politics implies that there is some conflict and disagreement on the issue, whereas culture refers to universally shared and accepted values.
The left devour their own
In the latest re-run of Racefail09, Barry Malzberg and Mike Resnick are being demonized for insufficient leftism – primarily Barry Malzberg, previously a leading leftist of Science Fiction, who, in his younger days, was substantially influential in imposing the then new and rigidly boring political orthodoxy on science fiction and fantasy. Now in their seventies, they failed to quite keep up with the latest orthodoxy, falling two or three years behind the latest feminist line. Or rather they were in …
On ripple
Ripple is a scam cryptocurrency. Pity, since the alleged design is more scalable than bitcoin. A cryptocurrency is mainly worth its speculative value, worth the possibility it could replace the US$. Obviously Ripple is not going to replace the US$, being a wholly controlled muppet of Cathedral minions. If Ripple was funded by Baidu rather than Google, I would be on it like a tomcat on a pussy in heat.
Selecting for stupid
Before Google became a huge success, it tried to select for the smartest people, in so far as it was legally possible to do. It then became a huge success. Today, Google’s chief human resources officer tells us selecting for smart does not work, so Google does not do it any more. (Hat tip, Lion of the Blogosphere) What do you think is more likely: That selecting for smart does not work, or that it gives politically incorrect results? This …
Economic efficiency of slavery
For tasks requiring intelligence and independent judgement, for the kind of job where one would ordinarily employ a contractor or high level free employee, slave owners generally gave one of their best slaves an incentive environment approximating that of a high level free employee, where the slave had a future career path, the opportunity to save and invest, to own money and buy assets, including buying other slaves, indicating that slavery does not work to get such tasks done – hence …
Always betraying, and always betrayed
Observe that the Tea Party is on the brink of its first great achievement: Population replacement of whites by a voting majority of mestizos on welfare. (The two thousand page amnesty law, which we have to pass to learn what is in it, is being written by two Democratic Party immigration lawyers, and the usual government employees). The psychological mechanism underlying this is that the overwhelming majority of politically active people are unwilling to speak or think ill of those …
Speaking truth to power
The big lie is not equality. The big lie is not that women are naturally virtuous. The big lie is not that gays want monogamous marriage. The big lie is not the magic negro. The big lie is that the Cathedral is holy. Every item of propaganda issued by every Cathedral spokesman has the subtext “I am holier than thouâ€, and it is this subtext has to be attacked in the same utterly venomous and fearless manner that Jesus attacked …
Bitcoin scaling problems
When bitcoin was first proposed, I argued that the proposed algorithm failed to scale. Well, when getting started, scaling does not matter. Now, however, a bitcoin wallet is starting to cost substantial bandwidth and processing power. There are plans to address this, but I am underwhelmed by those plans. The proposed plans will make bitcoin more centralized, and will still have scaling issues. Seems to me that we need an algorithm where no one computer needs to keep a copy of …
Moral Progress
At one of the main supposedly libertarian sites on the internet, where, every few days, they pimp for mass migration of the Latin American underclass to come to the US to live on welfare and crime, and vote Democrat, they recently preened themselves on the wonderful moral progress we have made since the horrible evil bad old days. Fosetti cut them a new anal orifice.
