People will confidently say things like “gender is a social construct” as if this had been proven in a lab somewhere. In reality, it’s just something that some feminist writers said. It has as much scientific weight as a poem.

We could reduce violent crime by 80% with a one-strike law, 50% with a three-strikes law, and 20% with a ten-strike law.

I really really think this is a terrible idea. Those instincts are there to protect you, and you don’t owe anyone physical touch. Don’t buy into their horrible entitled arguments.

That’s true, and might be a good thing. The outcomes from sports betting, legalized weed, and student loans have pushed on my libertarianism. Society should probably not be full of pit traps for low-IQ citizens.

Replying to

We know the propensity to commit violent crime is largely heritable. This is a fact. Moralizing about facts doesn’t make them false.

Replying to

You act like they are entitled to come here and we are making it unfairly difficult. They have no right to be here. The opportunity to become an American is a privilege. We can make it as difficult as we want. That is our right.

It’s an indictment of modern politics that I’m a “conservative”. I’m a non-Christian, abortion-supporting, broadly tolerant cosmopolitan nerd. I should be in the bag for the left wing of my time. But they’re death-worshipping communists, so…

Fact: almost all men are stronger than almost all women. John Oliver: there’s no evidence boys have an advantage over girls. This is significantly crazier than evolution denial, because we can all see the facts today, with our eyes.

John Oliver maniacally defends boys competing against girls in sport. He says Kamala just did a poor job of explaining that boys have no advantage over girls. Serious question: Is he on drugs?

Americans anti-care what Europeans think of us: we delight in upsetting them, being different from them.

What

calls “shallow empathy”: people feel “empathy” for criminals (they don’t actually model their minds accurately, it’s a narcissistic kind of empathy) but don’t feel the same compassion for their victims.

We are largely descended from puritans.

2 point IQ gap between liberals and conservatives: “this is why there are zero conservative anthropologists” 15 point IQ gap between whites and blacks: “blacks being underrepresented is because of systemic injustice”

If I could kill one thing in our politics, it would be arguments based on identity. “As a disabled black trans woman” shut the fuck up and make your point on its merits.

“You” includes all facts of your existence, because that is what “you” means. How lucky is Mt. Everest to be the tallest mountain, when it could have been any other mountain? This is obviously a nonsense question. There is no soul lottery. The probability of you being you is 1.

Easy: I don’t care about racial gaps at all, and don’t see why I should.

Tbf there is a chicken and egg question there.

This is the best policy announcement I’ve seen from any political figure, on any topic, in my lifetime. THIS is substantive free speech. This is competent and aggressive policymaking. This is my president.

Humans are not interchangeable or identical. The problem is the collapse of high-IQ populations, and it is actually made worse by the explosion of low-IQ populations. I doubt he has any problem with high-skill educated legal immigrants.

Progressives are very religious. They just have a different religion.

I am similarly vile. I care more about my fiancée than I do about the rest of the world combined (net of that world’s effect on us). They should do a hit piece on me, fallen cretin that I am.

Brianna Wu I’m writing this because I see Brianna being promoted as a reasonable transsexual. This is not accurate, and sanewashing him will lead to children being harmed. He claims to be an “old school true transsexual centrist”. He is in fact an autogynephilic extremist.

Kick out all the immigrants, remove 95% of regulations, and slash taxes and welfare or your extremely vague positive vision will never come to pass.

This is a ridiculous model of human behavior. Everyone is not identical to you but for their circumstances. Many people are simply violent, and will continue being violent until they are stopped.

Wealthy Americans pay almost all of the total tax.

Most leftist mental health practices are essentially reverse-CBT. Focus endlessly on what upsets you, surrender to powerlessness, externalize your locus of control.

Both white and black Americans who have top test scores but are born into the bottom 20% of household income are almost guaranteed to reach a higher class.

The only question that matters, in terms of women in combat, is “does this increase the overall effectiveness of our military?”. Anyone talking about fairness or sexism is unserious.

A common form of leftist disinformation that doesn’t get fact-checked is trotting out rare events and then strongly implying they’re widespread. “Unarmed black men are being killed by cops” it’s ~10 a year, and most were resisting arrest. “Women are dying because of state

IQ is about 80-90% heritable in developed countries. Big Five personality scores are 40-60% heritable. The remaining variance is not explained by shared environment and appears to be essentially random.

Replying to

This is excellent. They floated a plan to essentially extort revenue from ALL of Elon’s companies as vengeance for allowing free speech on X. This is absurd. We should throw our weight around to dissuade this kind of thing.

Replying to

Freedom of speech absolutely must include the freedom to spread racial hatred. Otherwise, the state can define anything they want to censor as “spreading racial hatred”. If free speech is not absolute, it does not exist *at all*

World leaders: “Trump is super bad and a dumb choice for the US” World leaders after the election: “we want to buy your oil, not Russia’s. We want to make peace. We want to cooperate.” They wanted a weak America, but are eager to make peace with a strong America.

They didn’t even vocally pivot away, they just stopped talking about it. If Harris had said “look, woke was a mistake. I’m sorry for my part in it, and in a Harris administration it will all be removed” it might have been vaguely credible. She didn’t.

Almost everyone in prison for drugs has also committed or will commit a violent crime, and the chart I posted specifically deals with violent crime. There are very very few otherwise-functional people in prison for drugs.

The observation that people who do one type of crime are also likely to do other types of crimes is why initiatives like locking up people for possession of drugs or illegal firearms leads to such drastic reductions in homicides, assaults, and firearm injuries. x.com/AnechoicMedia_…

Turns out it’s hard to run a platform full of neurotic hypersensitive complainers.
