Polish Fans Unite Against Diversity And Immigration

Many of us in the New World view soccer as a sport like golf: a lot of waiting, wandering, and agonizing over what is in the end calculus a few well-timed taps to a ball to make it go into a target. We do not get it. Also, we do not want to. However, for […]

Awareness

Awareness

We are familiar with the scales of justice, but what about the scales of attention? Few of us analyze what our brain spends its time processing; we respond to stimulus, which is easier, and allows us to reserve more of our thought process for ourselves. As a result, life is not tiring at all because […]

Western Religion (And Religious Westernism)

Western Religion (And Religious Westernism)

Among us now come many who have staked all of their hopes on a single tool to fix a complex situation, for example, religion. Many especially among our most learned and thoughtful believe that society must begin again with religion as the tool that makes this happen, but they would produce the worst of possible […]

Planned Obsolescence

Neoreaction gained an audience because it spoke a simple truth: governments are businesses, so there is no point having government be a business with special privileges. In this way it took after a long tradition of Rightist thought about government and its self-interest. In fact, we might call Neoreaction “space age paleoconservatism” and be correct. […]

Women Are Not Machines

On the Right, the temptation is to realize that the all of the assumptions that form the basis of our current society are lies, and therefore to go the exact opposite direction. This is a strategic error. The opposite of what we have now is the same mental state with a different starting direction. Because […]

Outliers (#38)

Outliers (#38)

Holiday weekends bring out the best and worst in people. Most are disappointed, whether because they did not get the new gadget or because they live lonely and futile lives, none can tell. People drink a lot more, drive around aimlessly, behave selfishly. Leftists rage from their dingy city apartments after their ineffectual jobs, and […]

Silicon Valley Death Vigil Begins

Silicon Valley Death Vigil Begins

Humans destroy everything they touch. Something new is invented, and most people are afraid, so natural leaders take up its cause and make it great. Others see that this is a good thing and worth participating in, so they flock to it, but they do not alter their thinking, which fits the old way more […]

Coal Melts Steel Beams, Just Like Jet Fuel

Coal Melts Steel Beams, Just Like Jet Fuel

It is interesting how unsystematic our world is. That is: things persist until disproven by chance. It is possible that there is a major hole in how we think about engineering steel objects, and that is that temperatures below the melting point of steel can weaken it enough to be dangerous. As our gentle readers […]

r / K Strategies

r / K Strategies

For many years, this blog has covered r/K strategies and their effect on societies. The grim fact is that this primal divide defines two basic approaches to life: r strategy: breed chaotically, frequently, and invest little in offspring; K strategy: breed deliberately, with partners for life, and invest a lot in the offspring. The first […]

How To Create Toxic Elites

How To Create Toxic Elites

Our elites are toxic, and our proles made it so. The dominant story throughout human history is that people specialize in illusions, and when they get together in groups, they create an echo chamber which reinforces those illusions, and then they force those on others. Then “intellectuals” get famous for inventing alternate stories about how […]
