@MoreBirths In aggregate, non-parents have been judged to be genetically undesirable mating partners. Parents with better brain health is nature selection playing out.

Unexpected! The New York Times reports that both fathers and mothers both have better brain health than their childless peers! Confirmed in multiple studies.

@avidseries 1st world economies are largely designed around assumption of a 90 IQ or higher. We should appreciate how hard it is to navigate modern life for a significant portion of population thru not fault of their own. Simple manual labor & direct exchange only thing available to them

This is mostly true. There are of course hard-working people who experience an extended run of misfortune, and a not insignificant percentage who are impeded by bad mental or physical health, but, for the most part, the poor have found their natural place in the order of things.

@RepDanGoldman @DHSgov Judge McConnell ruling is an important reminder the only thing enforcing his ruling and the law is citizens willing to cooperate and voluntarily participate in supporting the judiciary. That can change. There are many historical examples of that changing.

The people harmed by this xenophobic and racist policy weren’t those trying to cheat the system. They were the people who followed every rule, submitted every document, and paid every fee they were required to. Judge McConnell’s ruling is an important reminder that @DHSgov and @SecMullinDHS seem to always forget: the government cannot simply pick and choose which laws it gets to enforce just because they want to force their own discriminatory political agendas.

@cainmarko27 @ReclaimD1 That never was a thing for all of human existence until like 30 years ago. Going to college during peak fertility years and not having a child is highly bizarre unnatural behavior.

@360Videos7 @ReclaimD1 Hell no! Her personality doesn’t say get married at 19. ONLY DUMBASSES DO THAT! Are you retarded?! No sane 19 year olds get married! They go to fucking college!

Modern woman from Tik Tok who appears to be having a herpes outbreak goes in on a guy she’s been talking to for weeks after he refuses to allow her to go through his phone. Did he do the right thing or should he have let her at it⁉️👑

@dothadew333 @ReclaimD1 Too late for her. She’s emotionally fried and scared. If she had gotten married at 19 and had children soon after she’d normal & happy now. Women did not evolve to live a life of multiple partners and no children.

@ReclaimD1 Nose rings are undefeated. Imagine this nice blue eyed blonde girl in a different time, without having been raped by society. How wonderful our country could actually be.

@PikettyWIL Degrowth causes real comprehensible, measurable suffering. Climate change causes suffering that can be mitigated by technology. Animals have no conscious awareness of any of this. Any value assignment on the Earth’s ecosystem is a human projection.

The world today is characterized by large-scale inequalities. And a climate crisis is looming over us. We urgently need a new vision for global progress in the 21st Century. One that grounds human development and equality in planetary habitability. What would it take to achieve high prosperity and equality while remaining within planetary boundaries? The World Inequality Lab is very excited to launch the #GlobalJusticeReport. [1/7]

@TruBluCatherine @StephenM They’re not citizens.

@StephenM Because we are inclusive of all citizens heritage you hateful f*ck.

Notice how Democrats describe foreign citizens from failed states as their “constituents” rather than American citizens.

@RepMcGarvey These are not your constituents. And if you believe they are your constituents you are not a U.S. representative

My office has seen the devastating impacts this policy has had on my constituents since it started. People have lost jobs, healthcare, and been put in unnecessary limbo. Today a judge ruled what we have all known from the start — this pause was illegal and arbitrary. USCIS must start adjudicating immediately.

Progressive identitarianism sowing: Haha f*ck yeah!!! Yes!! Progressive identitarianism reaping: Well this f*cking sucks. What the f*ck.

Corporation: "We made $4B but spent $3.9B so we only owe taxes on $100M." Government: "Totally reasonable." You: "I made $60K but spent $58K on survival." Government: "You owe taxes on $60K." You: "That's not—" Government: "File by May 15."

NEW: a report from Vanderbilt and WashU just dropped, taking on the "state of scholarship in the humanities and social sciences," a big topic among critics of higher ed. Read along w/ me 🧵

It really is this simple

@MartinMLynch @PeterDiamandis The ancient Greeks understood the gods weren’t bound to the morals, ethics, and constraints of men. They could be awful, arbitrary and cruel because they didn’t have to operate under constraints or mortality. The gods were projects of who we are without constraints.

@MartinMLynch @PeterDiamandis What is a “return”? Who gets this “return”? What is the purpose of a “return”? What is “value”? Is the worth and value of human found in their efficiency? We don’t take value by force, we exchange value. If there are no limits to value creation why have morals, ethics, norms?

Hot take: Universities charge $300,000 for a degree that teaches you skills any LLM can do for free. At some point we need to have an honest conversation about whether higher education is the greatest individuals misallocation of capital in recent history.

@PeterDiamandis Until this Supreme Court case is overturned there is no conversation. University are massively expensive filters, clearing house, quality certifications for something that can done for a few hours and dollars. Griggs v. Duke Power Co.

@cremieuxrecueil Will never happen. A sovereign debt crisis will occur before then. There is no scenario where an orderly reduction in SS benefits occurs.

I wonder what the full array of political consequences will be if Social Security stays on track and its benefits drop to 81% in 2035.

@blake_cacon Were employers allowed to administer the equivalent of IQ tests back then?

I know a woman who was hired by Lockheed in the 70s at 18, straight out of high school. She retired 40 years later as some senior executive VP of something & something. When I applied a decade ago with a bachelors in mechanical engineering, I didn’t even get a response.

@DrInsensitive @CharlesMullins2 They’re funding it. This is a DARPA contract

@CharlesMullins2 In the short term, the military will pay for 30-minute delivery anywhere on earth.

🚨 SPACEX JUST GOT FAA APPROVAL TO TEST ITS NEW “STARFALL” CAPSULES. These are not regular reentry vehicles. SpaceX’s new circular Starfall capsules are designed to bring up to 1,000 kg of payload back from orbit safely, repeatedly, and at scale. They can launch on either Falcon 9 or Starship, perform in-space manufacturing, then reenter and splash down in the Pacific for rapid recovery. Why this matters: • Enables true commercial in-space manufacturing (microgravity + vacuum) that can be returned to Earth • Could become a “proliferated successor” to the ISS for self-sustaining space industry • Opens the door to rapid point-to-point cargo delivery from orbit to anywhere on Earth • Directly competes with companies like Varda that have been flying similar missions on SpaceX rockets The deeper implication is massive: We are moving from “occasional experiments in space” to routine manufacturing and logistics in orbit. If Starfall works at scale, companies could build factories in space, produce high-value materials that can’t be made on Earth, and ship them back down regularly all without needing a full space station. This is one of the clearest steps yet toward a real, self-sustaining commercial space economy. What do you think will in-space manufacturing finally become a serious industry, or is this still too early? Follow for more frontier space and future technology.

@CharlesMullins2 “In space manufacturing”. Sure… 😉 Come on, we’re not that stupid. It’s a secret DoW contract to deliver a payload (drones, robots, micro nuclear reactor, etc) anywhere on earth within an a hour or so.
