Demonic constant, fake variable
Oregon is recriminalizing hard drugs after decriminalizing for three years. This is a good move but as always with legislatures it’s a fake move. Constants and variables! Fentanyl is a city-ending plague EVERYWHERE, not just where drugs are decriminalized. Every city has the same genocide. Portland is no worse than Philly or Spokane or NYC.…

Reserved for the master
These charts from Wolf show why the Gaians are banning US consumption of natural gas. Since 2008, the start of the QE era, we have drastically increased our PRODUCTION and EXPORTS of natural gas. The Gaians aren’t opposed to petroleum. If they were, we’d be PRODUCING drastically less. Instead, we’re PRODUCING more than ever before.…

We just don’t…
One of the regular contributors to Curbside Classics is a writer currently based in Tokyo, who catches and snaps the best in Tokyo cars. And that’s a high bar, since ALL the interesting cars in the world, both old and new, have ended up in the hands of Tokyo collectors. (I haven’t figured out what…

Reprint: Culture = skills.
Mentioned in previous, worth a reprint. = = = = = START 2020 REPRINT: A new measurement of the cerebellum is SHOCKING as usual. It’s essentially a flat sheet with the thickness of a crepe, crinkled into hundreds of folds to make it fit into a compact volume about one-eighth the volume of the cerebral…

Futilation
RFK is a Gaian. That’s all he is. He’s managed to sucker in a large part of the anti-tyrants by focusing on the “poisons” in vax. This intentionally distracts from the far larger purposes of the genocide, and turns the anti-tyrants into Gaian activists. Gaia and “virus” are two closely related projects by the same…

Misses a stage of history
This is an important insight. I think it misses some history, but it’s basically valid. Thesis: College is our only initiation rite. We lost the earlier religious rites of manhood, and college was offered to replace it. Now that college is fading, we need to return to churches. This replacement is very recent. College has…

Interesting career, drab ideas
Pointed via Denyse as usual, the strange book and career of Julian Jaynes. Jaynes published only one book, which became popular among philosophers who like to discuss pointless and untestable questions. He theorized that modern awareness was a recent development. = = = = = START QUOTE: Humans were not fully conscious until about 3,000…

Simple answer
I stopped tracking the “climate” fight in 2018 after I decided that most advocates on the side of truth are not really defending truth, just making money. Now I try to determine the truth for myself, and try to live according to the truth, and that’s all. I didn’t even know about the Mann vs…

Witch hunts end…
When the torches start burning the igniters. This applies to all sorts of evil fads and trends, not just witch hunts. Harvard seems to have broken the long-term wildly destructive trend of credentialism when its highly credentialed president and Chief Inquisitor foolishly inquisited Correct Persons. Now the broad movement against college is accelerating, which is…

Since 1975
We’ve been a colony of China since Nixon surrendered to them in 1975. Everything we do is aimed at reserving our natural resources for the Mother Country. Environmentalism eliminates our own consumption of coal and oil and natural gas so we can send all of it to China. This article by a railroad man gives…

Buckle down and stay lazy!
I’m noticing a common theme in a lot of writers this week, which looks orchestrated. Let’s buckle down and get back to work! Let’s keep the wheels turning at full speed! Start families, have babies! NO. This is what the Tyrants want. They want everyone cheerfully working together to achieve total destruction. Empires don’t collapse…

Cute trick.
I was always suspicious of the “free” university UATX. It’s NOT based on skills. It’s centered on ideas, which necessarily means it will enforce orthodoxy and avoid truth. Skills are intrinsically true and unalterable, facts are arbitrary and controllable. UATX advisers and organizers include several unreformed Deepstaters like Bari Weiss and Richard Dawkins and (former…

Platonic crap
Via MindMatters. = = = = = START QUOTE: Mark Balaguer defends the proposition that mathematics belongs to an eternal realm. This realm is frequently referred to as the Platonic realm. Mathematics is like nothing else. The truths of math seem to be unrelated to anything else—independent of human beings, independent of the universe. The…

Internal vs external
Stoller features a guest column on a new anti-monopoly trend in Canada. The author says that Canada has always been more prone to internal monopoly than US, with one family controlling most grocery stores and one family owning most of New Brunswick. Last year our tech monsters finally went too far, and Trudeau has made…
