The leftmost of the left currently is, or very recently was, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. (It is always hard to say what the current leftmost is, because the left is always re-inventing itself. Leftism has no essence, it is a bunch of tactics that serviceable in the goals of envy and covetousness, and the ever changing systems of ideas are merely flim flam and the latest tactics. What do Catastrophic …

Government Healthcare and the deficit
Healthcare in the US is extraordinarily, ludicrously, bad. It is also absurdly, extraordinarily, ludicrously expensive, both for any individual who is not part of an official victim group, and for the government. The government deficit is about two trillion dollars, and is unsustainable. Economic collapse and hyperinflation looms. The cost of healthcare to the government is about equal to the deficit. Comparing US (corrupt civil service and judiciary) health care …
Definition of left and right
Leftism starts with envy and covetousness. Covetousness is that someone wants to knock over the apple cart to grab some apples. Envy is he just want to knock over the apple cart because he does not have one. And, given that there are people who want to knock over the applecart, easier and safer to knock it over as part of a gang. So, priests: Someone comes up with a …
AI progress
I have for some time been complaining that progress in many fields peaked around 1972 or so, that many important fields have gone backwards. Last man on the moon 1972, cars and clothes washing machines have been getting crappier. The skyline on big western cities is starting to look less and less like the future, as is the interior of your neighbourhood shopping mall. The highest flying and fastest flying …
A prediction corrected
Shortly after the 2020 election, I predicted that Trump would be arrested within a few months, followed in due course by an ever increasing number of Republicans, and would in due course be Epsteined, executed, or disappeared. It rapidly became apparent that this prediction was on Musk time. The conspirators that stole the election, like the conspirators who murdered Caesar, expected and intended to return to normality by abnormal means. …
The optics of noticing
There is a lot of bad female behavior. It gets worse as they get older, but it starts very young indeed, typically around four years below fertile age, with a great deal of variance, much more variance than occurs in males. People complain that when I notice sexual misbehavior in very young girls, that this is “bad opticsâ€. I say that there is severe and widespread female misconduct getting right …
Women gone nuts
The Zman asks “Why Did Women Go Nuts?†Simple. When you repress bad sexual behavior by males, and do not repress bad sexual behavior by females, you get very little bad sexual behavior by males, and a whole lot of bad sexual behavior by females. I see women behaving as if raised by apes in the jungle. Things are going to hell because we fail to restrain bad behavior that …
China passes the US
The most important, powerful, and effective weapon in the US arsenal is a fifty year old plane firing seventy year old cannons scoured from museums and looted from ancient forgotten overseas arms depots. Some people may say that the most important, powerful, and effective weapon in the US arsenal is nukes, but after all these years, who knows if they work any more? We can no longer make tritium, we …
Peak Oil
If you discover more than ten years of reserves, politicians are apt to take it away from you. So for the last hundred years or so, the world has only had ten years worth of proven oil reserves left and has been about to run out in ten years or so. In fact the world has only had about ten years of anything left for the past hundred years or …
Pushing back on social justice warriors.
Remember how Github went social justice? Well elections have consequences “Coralineâ€, an autogynophilic male to female transexual, competent programmer, and political commissar, recently got purged from Github by the mandarinate. Mandarins are priests, and Social Justice Warriors are priests, but social Justice Warriors are primarily into runaway extreme holier than thou holiness, while mandarins are more into politely conforming to the official religion and emitting all the right social signals. …
