Whenever a large group of people seems to enjoy talking about something, back yourself up and stop to think: it is a lie. Whatever the Crowd likes is always a lie, usually a paired distraction from the real problem and scapegoating of an easier target so we can beat up wimps and feel like we […]

How We Know That Diversity Cannot Workby Brett Stevens (January 9th, 2017) Another day, and the news is dominated again by headlines of race, as it has been in America since its founding — when diversity meant Indians, African slaves and Irish day laborers — and in Europe since the continent shifted Leftward in the 1960s. We have become accustomed to the ongoing failure of diversity around […] Consequential Formalismby Jonathan Peter Wilkinson (January 9th, 2017) It’s hard to talk about the evils of overgovernance without factual evidence. In theory, we all want freedom. In practice, we all want security. The two frequently exist in tension. This is particularly true of people who will not avail themselves of their freedom to produce their own financial security. Fans of significantly engaged and […] Evil Crossbreeds With Stupid In Alaskaby Jonathan Peter Wilkinson (January 8th, 2017) I’d find the comedy show at the US EPA more amusing if they A) Genuinely cared about the environment B) Were actually just kidding Instead, they care more about enforcing sets of rules based upon increasingly spurious findings of human endangerment. They have recently noted that wood smoke can be detrimental to air quality. Perhaps […] Dot-Com 3.0 Collapse Inboundby Brett Stevens (January 8th, 2017) More signs that the dot-com people who we are supposed to respect as “geniuses” are in fact drudges who got lucky: Google’s new big news is a minivan and virtual reality continues to bore everyone except the nerds. Silicon Valley has forgotten how to add utility to its products. Self-driving cars are great for avoiding […] Outliers (#39)by Brett Stevens (January 8th, 2017) The first week of 2017 kicked off with massive doubt as the Obama era ended in a flurry of last-minute executive orders, pardons and other attempts to sabotage the incoming Trump administration. Liberal democracy continued to lose ground as illusion became less preferable than functional realism. Europe intensified its retreat from the ideology of humanism […] How To End Diversityby Brett Stevens (January 7th, 2017) We know that diversity is over, meaning that the policy of diversity has failed. This does not reflect badly on any race or races, but on the idea of diversity — different ethnic, cultural and religious groups co-existing in the same civilization — as a realistic principle. We have seen what it brings, and done […] Why The Mainstream Media Has Diedby Brett Stevens (January 6th, 2017) If you wonder why the media shifted SJW over the past decade, an account of its sudden loss of power makes sense out of the dilemma: “The media world has been closed since radio,” he said, speaking to moderator Michael Kassan, the CEO of consultancy MediaLink. But the internet has changed that dynamic, removing the […] Does Barack Obama Intend To Rule America Indefinitely?by Brett Stevens (January 6th, 2017) The last few weeks of the rule of Barack Obama have revealed a dark side to his personality: he seems intent on holding on to power even if only by attempting to thwart those who come after him. During this time, he has blamed Russia for interference in American elections without solid proof, and other […] Renewed Calls For Slavery Reparations Provide Opportunity For Nationalistsby Brett Stevens (January 6th, 2017) Some Democrats have renewed calls for reparations for slavery of Africans in the United States: Members of the Congressional Black Caucus and other Democrats this week re-introduced legislation that would set up a commission to consider whether reparations should be paid to black Americans for slavery. Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., has proposed the bill in […] |
