• Triggering memories of lost freedom sparks anger and belief in bogus conspiracies

  People are easily manipulated by telling that that something stole their autonomy (a category which includes both freedom and money).

• Hundreds defy major warnings to attend huge St George’s Day parade

  Anti-“racists” — people we now know are grifters like all other charities, apparently — warned against attending this parade, but the natives were hearing none of it.

• What we know about Cole Allen, suspected White House Correspondents’ dinner shooter

  Cole Allen got through life thanks to Affirmative Action but then, once confronted with the market, he found there were few things he could actually do, so he scapegoated Republicans and tried violence, but this was basically suicide-by-cop in a hipster fashion so he could be cool like Italian criminal Luigi Mangione.

• All change is bad

  When “bad” (not oriented toward transcendental excellence) people take over, all change is bad; however, change is a constant, so you either orient toward eternal principles or you follow the trends of the day, which reflect what is popular because it is reality-denying and therefore exciting to the biggest cross-section of the population, leading to bad results.

• Lammes Candies set to close shop after 141 years in business

  As regulatory costs and labor costs go up, these little businesses will not survive, but corporations that hire MBAs to cut every corner will.

• Universal patterns emerge across 22 languages, mapping how vocabularies evolve

  If they are universal patterns, they will appear in every language; these more likely reflect how language describes reality and therefore, mimics patterns of experience. You will find the same is true of English units: a pound is a more useful human unit than a kilogram.

• Public support for transgender women in sports dropped significantly between 2019 and 2024

  Support for diversity declines in proportion to degree of exposure to diversity.

• Parents helping Gen Z become homeowners through generational wealth, study finds

  Stimulus, regulations, and affirmative action drove up costs. Immigration drove up demand and drove salaries down. H-1Bs discriminated in hiring. Who can afford a $400k house (average in Texas) these days? You are still paying rent in the form of property taxes which will be $10k/year for that house. And those exist mostly so that we can educate and feed illegal aliens.

• Ammonia as a clean fuel: ‘Do not create a new nitrogen problem,’ says researcher

  No matter what we use for fuel, it will generate pollution of some kind; the problem is overpopulation. With a half-billion people we would not be having this discussion.

• Drill, baby, drill? US, China fight for the future of energy

  The water wars are slowly starting. The food wars are still a way off. But you are just in time for the energy wars.

• Artificial intelligence flatters users into bad behavior

  Validating bad behavior because the user is a client (or voter) makes the user engage in more bad behavior, harming them. Now do equality.

• Chernobyl Wasn’t a Nuclear Disaster—It Was a Communist Disaster

  Incompetent leadership, not technological failures, produce nuclear disasters of this magnitude.

• DNA research just rewrote the origin of human species

  “Out of Africa” begins its winding fall into the abyss. Modern African populations look more like Australopithecus and Ergaster merging with proto-Caucasian backflow into warmer areas.

• Fathers who fear divorce are more likely to develop distrust in political institutions

  They call it feminization, the impulse to find a consensus through compromise rather than set an objective and then figure out how to implement it, but really it is the nature of Crowds themselves, which validate the mediocre and oppose any strong direction. Men who see the family courts in action realize that the Crowd will always punish men and coddle women, especially when the women are doing something insane.

• Queer as folk: The gay scandal that shook the German Empire

  Christianity creates dislike of homosexuality, but our pagan ancestors saw it as natural like variation in crops, and accepted it, but also accepted the fact that normal people would laugh at it. That is too complex for symbolists.

• Close to one-third of Democratic Socialists of America members make more than $100K

  Why the Left wins: it is an industry that rewards zealotry instead of making a name for yourself. Being excellent at conformity gets you the good jobs, where on the Right, being iconic and ironic and contrarian gets you the donations surge.

• What exactly is wrong with (mass) euthanasia/ assisted suicide/ humane murder?

  “Without meaning or purpose, life is merely a matter of current feelings – a balance between pleasure and suffering.” But comrade, that is the goal of Equality! It is the path to Utopia, just like in “Imagine.”

• Is Germany’s pension system still secure?

  Democracy has run out of money because it was so focused on gift-giving that it ignored productivity. Just like the Soviets and Jacobins! Maybe all egalitarian ideals share the same fate?

• Iranian migrant, 14, avoids jail after being convicted of raping schoolgirl as victim’s family left ‘furious’

  More two-tiered “justice” in order to avoid the optics of convicting and jailing non-Whites.

• Americans are unhappy about the economy and reeling from high prices: Polls

  Remember Reaganomics? Same drama over that, too.
