It was reasonable for the crazies to demand that normal people tolerate the guy in the dress.No, it wasn’t. It was a terrible decision based on a radical reimagining of Christian ethics.Tolerance has deep roots in Christian ethics to the point where it is a habit of mind for Western people.What the crazies and too many modern Christians call “tolerance” is an entirely modern phenomenon. It wasn’t long ago at all that Christians were still burning heretics. It turns out they were right to do so.Humans have tremendous recency bias. My grandparents were born into a world without the federal income tax or women’s suffrage. My dad was born into a world without Social Security or federal gun control. I was born into a world without Medicare, the Civil Rights Act, the Immigration Act of 1965, “Terry Stops” or the Gun Control Act of 1968.Yet all these things are accepted as virtually unchangeable facts of life by most people living.They’re all just the blink of an eye in the span of human history and most of them will disappear just as quickly as they arrived.

…Couples will demand tools to make sure their child is not a homosexual. After all, no one has ever hoped their child would grow up to be a happy, healthy homosexual… “Anal Pete” Buttgeig and all of Hollywood would disagree. Given the chance, they would happily conceive or “conceive” all kinds of genetic mutants and horrors to inflict upon the world so they can get likes on social media. They already mutilate perfectly healthy children.

My wife’s nephew has children in middle school. Big fight now is pushing back on the furry who thinks she’s a cat. Seriously, they are quarreling over the rights to a litter box in the bathroom. Maybe this is waning vestiges of the woke war, hopefully. Women in charge are still a major problem. Btw, did you notice the photo of Those police and administrators in the New Orleans prison escape episode?

the replication crisis so that only 30% of science can be replicated is mysteriously kept secret from the public.

I think that guys like Steve Sailer really did believe (there’s that word!) that once the crazies saw the brilliance of his arguments and the lucidity with which he made them, they would come around. Or, if not quite come around, be so impressed with him and his overall reasonableness – after all, he’s not demanding power or any major policy changes based on the logical endpoint of his brilliant arguments – that they would begrudgingly invite him to the cool kid’s table.This is why, when push came to shove, the Sailer-types crumpled in the face of liberal power and bent the knee. Ultimately the only thing that matters is power. If you don’t agree, you just get shut out. It’s that simple. The entire construction of transgenderism is insane and totally at odds with the materialist perspective of the rest of the liberal project (“born in a different body”), but it doesn’t matter. The only way to change it is to acquire power.

The key belief— which is true— is that men are more rational, women are more emotional. Many goods will follow. Men figure things out, women intuit them. A man who isn’t in control of his emotions is dangerous. A woman who thinks she’s in control of hers is just as dangerous, but in a different way. Etc.

no one has ever hoped their child would grow up to be a happy, healthy homosexual Probably true as recently as 10 or 15 years ago. Not true today. Appears to be mostly confined to white folks. Alas. We have always been governed by belief over facts. Probably always will be. But being governed by feelings over facts is more of a 19th amendment thing.

Way before Galileo, the Greeks had the story of Prometheus, who stole the secret of fire from the Gods. The Gods proceeded to torment him eternally. It’s in our nature as human to probe the outer edges of our capabilities through Science. And for our hubris, the Gods mete out the condign punishments and torments: the WNBA, Rachel Levine, Fauci and CNN. We must rebuild the Temple of Apollo………

Two things. First, the belief habit-of-mind had to precede the invention of science because our species’ cognitive skill lagged our complex language skill development. Our ancestors needed to “believe and adopt” ancient wisdom before we could rationalize why. Second, civilization has killed natural selection and our species continues to devolve absent effective culling. In the modern era, stupidity is killing science adoption, not irrational belief per se. This will continue until colony collapse, probably via a worldwide nuclear war.

Late comment on yesterday’s post from the mighty Z.Generational hate fests are usually stupid and counter productive. They fulfill the need of white men to find other whites to hate but are intended to pit Whites against each other and divert whites from the true problem.By the mid 60s Jews had consolidated power and were ready to completely transform America culturally, politically and demographically. Boomers got swept up in that as has every subsequent generation.The Clinton crime family was more of a symptom of this change. Clinton was the jovial smiling face on the destruction of the working class. His strongest supporters were the women the Jews unleashed on the country with feminism 2.0 which was almost entirely a Jewish project supported by the almost entirety Jewish entertainment and news media. These women are still the most ardent inforcers of our new Weimar at every level of the country.So each generation brings something unique to the table but they aren’t the ones pulling the strings. In the legislature we have silent (still!), boomer, X and Millennials. What they all have in common is they do the bidding of AIPAC and primarily Jewish donors. Most have the same worldview. They just differ on the extent and speed of the changes for their masters.

There is no “science” conducted to the benefit of the people. There is plenty of science conducted to the detriment of the people. What was once, and for Joe Q. Normie was known as “science” is now more potently deployed by what is HIDDEN, than what is REVEALED. Jab? Autopen? Autism? Ad infinitum. My suggestion is to stay away from the medical community as much as possible…. perhaps if a bone is sticking out of your leg. Otherwise, second guess, research…. I have way too many FIRST HAND experiences to think otherwise.

Very pungent and pertinent essay. As you say, facts have no power against beliefs, and in particular, fantastical beliefs. Your example of homosexuality is a perfect one. To most sane heterosexuals (and even many homosexuals), the reality of homosexuality seems appalling: multiple shallow sexual relationships, terrible diseases, mental illness, addictions, a shorter life expectancy and a sexual act that involves sticking an extremity where no extremity should be stuck. Convincing people to call this lifestyle “gay” must be one of the greatest marketing successes in history. However, all around me, I see the propaganda painting this lifestyle as the absolute zenith of human existence! This kind of magical thinking only fades and fails when it confronts stone cold reality. I’m rather glad that this is what our society is facing as it hurtles towards a Fourth Turning.

Science has been corrupted not just by ideology but also by good old-fashioned greed. The Covid debacle was an intersection of both, with the ideologues demanding submission to the crazy mandates and the Pharma corporations getting rich while their “regulators” suppressed info on the actual risk and benefits of the mRNA vaccines. Even MAHA has not been able so far to eliminate the damned things.

Over the long run I am a bit more optimistic, absent nuclear war, which is a real possibility. The AI race will be won by models that reflect reality, and that will determine the next ruling class (even if they are Chinese). In 30 years, people who still believe in the blank slate will be at a competitive disadvantage.

The future belongs to those who show up. our young men and womenneed to comit to each other , marry and have children whether or not they “have the money ” we won’t be there . my grandkids will be alone when they are adults.

What happened to Galileo is a poor example as it had very little to do with belief versus science or some sort of dogmatic opposition to heliocentrism, though that is the version of events the Enlightenment popularized. His trouble arose from using stellar parallax specifically as a basis without being able to adequately prove it, and teaching it as certitude in church-run institutions that employed him despite admonitions not toin that arena.The church’s counterarguments were based much more on Brahe than Scripture, and Galileo additionally failed to do himself any favors by publishing a tract that at minimum appeared to be personally insulting to the pope, after said pope, previously of a friendly disposition, had encouraged him to compile a comprehensive comparison of both theories. Stellar parallax was not definitively measured for another two centuries, though the church had already begun to accept heliocentrism well before then on other grounds.

Somewhat OT, or perhaps not, the dude who went from Illinois to DC to assassinate two young Israeli Embassy workers (they were engaged, and yes straight) raises many questions.A. In Illinois, where did he get the weapon? It is very difficult for non-criminal ordinary people to get a firearm in that state.B. How did he get the money to travel there, and who funded him? He seems some Soros Left Crazy, not earning any money.C. How did he know there was an event there at the Museum, and how did he know the people he killed were Israelis?D. Will we see more of this, and will this drive away even the commited Jews sans Bernie from the Left?E. Will the DOJ use this to go after Soros and company. As Churchill once said, if Hitler invaded Hell, he’d at least work in a favorable reference to the Devil in a speech in Parliament.—It seems the crazies are just getting in the way continually. The Party (there is only one) cannot back away from them, they get an anger rush endorsing the crazy. They seem to need it like an addict. This means more and more science will be taboo, as the crazy amps up, and that’s in direct conflict with the military which needs newer and better weapons to counter act that massive Chinese scale advantage in manufacturing. Particularly in space where the US has its only signficant advantage.Over/Under of Regime Change in South Africa after the Oval Office visit? This was prepared for a reason. Moral justification to kick out the current Regime there which host Chinese bases and pursues legal action against “our greatest ally?”

Science you say? A “top ten” university you say?CHEM 125 001“AFROCHEMISTRY”

I’m so sick of “I don’t care what they do in their own bedroom”. Obviously you should have

Well, it boils down to the fact that the leftard zealots, ideologues and crazies simply need to be gotten rid of. And that encompasses LOTS of options – many of them much more satisfying than others…

‘After all, no one has ever hoped their child would grow up to be a happy, healthy homosexual’I only wish that were true. It’s become trendy with some celebrity and UC women to do just that, wallowing in their own spite. Raise their boys as girls, their girls as boys. All the rage in Holly Wood these days. Where is daddy? Gone. He’d only get in the way of her plans.Modern Christian tolerance is watered-down current culture, not the Scripture Christians are supposed to follow. Aside from elements no longer in application — like Hebrew dietary laws — the Old Testament is not dead and still applies, despite the denials of many pastors and preachers. I find the OT eminently functional and use it for many practical purposes, including as an oracle.The OT is not tolerant. Neither is the NT, for that matter. That’d be to confuse Christian charity with self-destructive permissiveness. We don’t need a new scripture or religion, but just to follow seriously the one we’ve got. There’s plenty on the plate there.‘In the end, science tells us that it is always who shall overcome whom.’This world tells us the same thing. It’s a fight so hitch up your jeans.

The world’s largest economy is under no illusions about equality. Ask a Chinaman if he and an African are one race, and he will explain that his ancestors were composing poetry while blacks were still swinging in the branches.In fact, China runs eugenics programs to create world class athletes. The future is about ruthless racial science that would make Eichmann recoil. Even in America. Take the most progressive love is love, in this house we believe, woman and put her in a sperm bank and you will find Himmler’s spirit physically manifesting over her shoulder.I, for one, welcome our future Chinese overlords.

Knowing how people think is paramount to the understanding of the human condition. Who am I going to believe? Facts are facts. Acceptance is different than tolerance. That being said scientific method has a lot going for it. We are not the same, we are not equal,they are not like us. Stoicism also has a lot going for it. Derangement syndromes seem to be prevalent in a lot of folks. A bug or a feature. I say bug. Even the deepest thinkers must refresh fundamental data regularly. If nothing else to maintain a needed level of sanity. Happy Trails.

I’ve said for years that abortion will be forever banned if it is ever proven that homosexuality is a genetic trait. You will see people flip on that issue faster than you can say, “Mary Sue”. And with that ban will come bans on generic testing.Trump has successfully jujitsu’d the opposition into taking the “science” and “facts/law” side of multiple issues in the country. In contrast, Trump is making the moral arguments. The result is the plainly obvious fact that the opposition openly supports murderous gang members, groomers, weirdos in dresses, runaway government corruption and theft, weaponized courts, and endless wars…all backed by “But…science!”

Again somewhat OT, saw Rubio jousting against Chris Van Hollen. It was interesting. Van Hollen reminded Rubio they had been Senate Colleagues and that he voted to confirm Rubio believing that Rubio would “curb” Trump from “violating the Constitution and offending our allies.” And that he regretted that vote. Five years ago that line would have worked. Instead it did not, Rubio hit back at the guy for having Margueritas with Abel Garcia, wife beater and MS-13 gang member, and promised more visa yanking of foreign students who cause trouble.Interestingly, Van Hollen talked about the tens of thousands of starving Gaza kids, largely debunked as the videos that ran were of Yemen. Not Gaza. Blasted Rubio for not siding with Gaza, and “disrespecting our greatest Ally, Ukraine.” Van Hollen also quoted Cindy McCain blasting Israel and Trump for not “saving Gaza” and McCain also on how racist it is to take White South Africans instead of most of Sudan. No, literally.I took a couple of takeaways from this. First Rubio is all in. He was happy to blast Van Hollen back. I assume it is because he knows there is no forgiveness on the Left. He had open contempt for Van Hollen who kept interupting his response.Second, the Dems are all in Cindy McCain as a moral authority. They have under the pressure from the crazy left abandoned our traditional “greatest ally” in favor of Ukraine. They do want war with Russia over Ukraine. Dems are also all in on Gaza. And the Palestinians. Van Hollen is Establishment of the Establishment. Just look at the guy. So if that’s the Establishment just imagine how AOC or Jasmine Crockett, the Presidential and VP nominees in 2028, are going to be. These guys are stupid. They are running the 2008/2012 playbook and thinking it will work. Rubio is not a hero, he’s the tool of the Military Industrial Complex. But it seems that the MiC has turned as it inevitably would against the Baizu and wants them crushed.To bring back to the topic, could we see a repeat of Ike’s surge in science and flyover White guys against DEI just to get advances against the Chinese? The one advantage we have over them is that they have been miserable in Space launches, as that is one area where cheap and fast do not work. [Tends to explode on launch].

One of the best you have ever written, albeit a ‘factual’ rewrite of things also penned long ago. Aristotle wrote of this; you bring it forward. Thank you.

https://x.com/listen_2learn/status/1925615974016753961 not sure if this is a scandal or a nothingburger. It seems that NGOs want yes men and not independent actors. Politicians in the 70s and 80s I feel were savvier (think Bill Clinton or Mario Cuomo)

We can now identify maladaptive people with a very high degree of accuracy long before we have to find out the hard way through brain scans & genetic sequencing. Our society currently has no environmental based genetic filter in place to weed out people who are hardwired to attempt to destroy civilization. Even before modernity the genetic detritus still built up until the majority of the population was completely incapable of maintaining itself it just took a lot longer.With the knowledge & technology we have now we could do the equivalent of what islam has accomplished via constantly kneecapping intelligence & thus preventing liberalization with inbreeding depression. The national socialists attempted this generally, obviously configured to their own race specifically with crude & often brutal methods that are no longer necessary. At the very least we can brain scan people & if they’re degenerative make it so they cannot have any influence & also sterilize them.But imagine we could go even further, I assume it will never happen due to catch-22 nature of humanity ensuring the cycle will never end but in theory we could end the cycle of decline & rebirth in the opposite direction of islam. Instead of preventing ascension we prevent decay, that’s a lot harder to do but we’re certainly equipped with the technology & intelligence to accomplish it just not the will. We could utterly eliminate people who do not care about truth, we could even remove automaton NPCs entirely & live like the jetsons with AI & automation doing all the monotonous work. I’d like to note that the NPC is a collection of personality traits, one does not need a high IQ to recognize obvious realities.Its unfortunate that humanity seems to be doomed to always regress back to savagery. White people came so close to cracking the high intelligence continuity of civilization code but by the time the ingredients that made that possible were discovered the masses were already well on their way to regressing back to savage supremacy. It is fascinating how even higher intelligent people can effectively be one degree removed from the most primitive & barbaric savages, its a reminder that IQ is not at all the end all be all but merely a component of a safe White civilization.A lot of people erroneously blame Christianity for our decline as if it has the power to alter the minds of men but it doesn’t. It no more makes a White person a dysgenic supremacist than it makes a nigerian into someone who can maintain a first world country. The fact that is such a common belief among the DR shows the majority of us are still trapped in this magical thinking that denies reality. Their desire is correct but their belief in the means of achieving their goal is no more detached from reality than E Michael Jones belief that holy water will transform Ben Shapiro into someone indistinguishable from a typical European. The idea that if Christianity was expunged from the West people like Jeff Metcalf would’ve been one of us is absurd on the face of it.That’s just one example, a popular one, but its not about that religion or lack thereof specifically but the underlying beliefs from the people themselves. It is true that Christianity in the anglosphere especially is now, for the most part, essentially an ideological proxy for being a dysgenic supremacist but again that’s a reflection of the people themselves. It’s not a coincidence that these people implicitly & sometimes even explicitly denounce their ancestors as metaphysically evil monsters for not worshipping nons. Those people could’ve been indoctrinated into esoteric ethnocentric fascism from birth & would’ve still grew up to worship savages, they would’ve figured out a way to twist or interpret the codex to fit with their innate desire for savage supremacy.Whatever is in the hearts of a particular group will manifest no matter what, in the end ideology & religious belief is a product of genetics. That is the inescapable reality & whatever fantastical beliefs a high functioning society is to have must acknowledge that either directly or by proxy if it is to last. It also needs to acknowledge the environmental effects of a low mortality rate & the lack of danger that comes with modernity that makes people far more tolerant than they otherwise would’ve been in a pre-industrial society. Obviously there’s other things but if you get those things right you’re in a pretty damn good position to have a healthy & long lasting civilization.I don’t care what ideology or religion we have so long as it is in line with reality, the continuation of people like myself is all that matters to me, everything else is secondary. If that means I have to larp as a pagan then so be it, I’d rather not discard all the European lore that has been built up through Christianity but if it means extinction to cling to it then there’s no other choice. Unfortunately the majority of self proclaimed Christians are actively & willfully destroying it & they’re so numerous that they may very well permanently end the religion for Europeans. Like any other unpleasant reality that’s something I have to accept much the same way I will have to accept that vast chunks of territory will be subsumed by savages within my lifetime.Every religion that has stood the test of time was on some level a proxy belief for reality & adaptive behavior & while some truths are eternal there’s a lot of environmental variance at play. Take the churches adoption of banning first cousin marriages, that was a reactionary adaptation to stave off inbreeding depression & why? For the sake of ascension which was the trajectory of Christianity for a long time until the environment changed & allowed the mass breeding degenerates. Conversely islam adopted first cousin marriages for the sake of deliberately preventing ascension because on a primordial level muslims understand it brings liberalism with it & given the genetic reality of muslim demographics they’re in no position to stop that from taking hold.Getting back on topic, if the White Christian masses want to go extinct whilst transforming the religion into a degenerative savage worshipping cult there is little can do to we cannot stop them, we are an extreme minority unfortunately. We may agree on a lot of things with conservative Christians but they have so far insisted on rejecting the actual core reality that makes or breaks a White civilization. We’ll be lucky to save ourselves from their collective will & there’s no guarantee the people who escape their influence will have any love for the faith. Not saying that’s what’s going to happen just that may very well be how this pans out, those Christians are certainly working very hard to bring about this outcome. You cannot be against immigration or degeneracy or whatever else while simultaneously militantly defending the very people who institute those things. It’s having like a iron clad safe with a backdoor anyone can freely access, it defeats the entire point of having the safe in the first place.We’ve been undergoing rapid changes in the environment for centuries now & the thought leaders, religious or otherwise, have not been able to adapt in time. We were only just beginning to understand the implications of genetic reality & by that point the demographic rot already had a strong foothold. That’s a strong argument for not rushing into new technologies though I don’t know how much more advanced we can get now, whether Whites will be around in the next age all depends on whether the lessons we learn today are accepted or rejected.God willing, if Whites make it through this period of calamity they will accept reality instead of denying it & repeating this all over again, assuming they can even maintain continuity while holding these suicidal beliefs. Time will tell on that, NPCs will go with the flow only up to a certain point before the lies that animate our current culture become a matter of life or death to believe or denounce. It seems like we’re nearing the end of this cycle, the cracks are really starting to show, nothing ever happens until everything happens all at once.On a side note, one good thing about Europe proper becoming islamic is that birthrates will increase once it becomes a caliphate. We’ve seen countries like Sicily & Spain ruled by muslims for centuries & the people were not extinguished, not even close. Islam will destroy liberalism & with it the most extreme anti natal conditions that has brought the White man to near extinction. That’s what gives me hope for Europe, that & they have countries named after their race unlike the vague universal identity of America that was deliberately designed to dissolve ethnic & thus racial identity in favor of an idea.Whites can survive under the thumb of hostile racial aliens instituting islamic law but it has clearly been demonstrated that nobody on this planet can survive liberalism. Liberalism is the seed of entropy & decay, its a term for a collection of self destructive ideas that healthy societies reject & stamp out. If nothing else that should be the lesson we learn from this cycle.
