When an external group pressures a library to get rid of a book, that is a “book ban.” But when a librarian decides to “dewhiten” the library collection by getting rid of “racist books and problematic authors,” that’s just “weeding,” an ordinary part of library management.

Orcas have brain structures you don't have. Neurobiologist Lori Marino's MRI work on killer whales identified a fourth cortical segment called the paralimbic lobe. It sits next to the limbic system and handles emotion and social awareness. It doesn't exist in humans or in any land mammal. In orcas, it's so elaborated it erupts into the cortex. Their cortical limbic lobe, the region handling self-awareness and social processing, is exceptionally developed. Their brain weighs roughly 12 pounds, four times the mass of yours. They have spindle cells, the same neurons that let humans reason about other minds. When an orca surfaces and locks eyes with you, it's running a social assessment with neural hardware specialized for exactly that. It knows you're a separate being. It knows you're watching it back. It's evaluating you. Here's what should recontextualize the clip. In all of recorded history, wild orcas have killed zero humans. Zero documented fatalities. One surfer was bitten off California in 1972, and the orca released him the moment it realized he wasn't a sea lion. A 12-year-old was bumped in Alaska in 2005. The orca approached, touched him, turned back. Orcas hunt great white sharks. They coordinate wave attacks that sweep seals off ice floes. They take down moose swimming between islands. They have every capability to kill you. They have never chosen to. Marino's explanation: the orca neocortex is developed enough to instantly distinguish a human from prey. Other researchers point to orca culture, the traditions passed through pods across generations, in which humans simply aren't food. That look is recognition and restraint. From a mind built for social cognition at a scale your brain can't reach.

China wants a trade deal with the EU. Finland just made that impossible — unless China drops Russia. ㅤ Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen was direct: China's ties with Moscow are a deal-breaker for any EU-China free trade agreement. No negotiations can begin without all 27 EU member states on board. Finland is one of them. ㅤ Beijing has been pitching trade and investment deals to European leaders for months. Last month Germany's chancellor called such an agreement potentially achievable. Valtonen just cooled that down significantly. ㅤ China now has to choose: one of the world's largest markets, or continued partnership with a sanctioned, isolated aggressor. ㅤ That's a real economic squeeze — and it came from Helsinki, not Washington. ㅤ

My goodness, there are some bona fide idiots governing city council. The damn fool didn’t check court records but had the audacity to call himself a hero. Kudos to the NY AG for checking the records and putting them out there. Councilman Chi Osse should be disciplined for that stunt he pulled.

Why is it that specifically Muslim men in Britain, whether immigrants or those born here, rape White women and children in such great numbers and with such indifference to the suffering they cause, not only to the immediate victims but to their families, their communities, and indeed to the entirety of the British people who have been deprived by the state of the means to defend them? The answer to this seemingly simple question that has a complex answer will go some way to substantiating the argument that Islam is not only incompatible with Western liberalism but antithetical to our values, our safety and the continuation of our society. For the mass rape of British women and children is not an anomaly peculiar to individual criminals, however large in number they are, but an integral part of the conquest of Britain by Islam, and, therefore, is at the heart of Islam itself. Islam, in different degrees depending on its power over the state but universally in every Muslim-majority country, places a large number of religiously justified prohibitions on women: on what they can do for a living, what they can say to men, how they should behave in their presence, where they can go and what they can do in public and, most visibly to Western eyes, what they can wear. As an unreformed and unenlightened medieval religion this is not surprising, as clothing in Europe in the Middle Ages was subject to sumptuary laws, which dictated what materials, colours and styles different classes could wear according to their social status. Islam, however, drew on the dogma of the Qur’an to make this prescription an interdiction, and a social requirement into a commandment of Allah. Whether it’s a hijab that covers a woman’s hair and surrounds her face; a niqab that leaves only her eyes uncovered; or a burqa that reduces her to a shambling ghost, all three, in the most oppressive Islamic societies, are accompanied by dresses or veils that cover the wearer’s body from her head to her ankles or down to the ground. The effect is that the wearer is erased from sight except as a black and amorphous shape, an absence in the public sphere, and above all as a void in the vision of men. For Islam regards women’s bodies, first and foremost, not as the property of women but as the source of the sexual temptation of Muslim men, who, in contrast, are free to dress how they please. As they always do — and, one might argue, are intended to — these prohibitions have created a compensatory outlet for, precisely, the sexuality of Muslim men. Because of this religious prohibition on Muslim women, which is not limited to the covering of their bodies but extends to the control of every aspect of their lives as women, the libido of Muslim men is split between highly-controlled non-sexual affection for their wives and mothers and uncontrolled sexual violence towards other women. For Muslim men living in European countries, the object of this sexual violence is, pre-eminently, White women and girls. As the object of this religious interdiction, therefore, the sexuality of Muslim men is deeply repressed. As it is to a lesser degree among monks and priests in Christian societies, one of the consequences of this is that, in Pakistan, for example, the rape and sodomy of Muslim street children is widespread. In neighbouring Afghanistan, another Islamic State, this sexual repression has found outlet in the practice of bacha bazi, or ‘boy play’, which is a euphemism for the enslavement and rape of impoverished adolescent boys by older, wealthy men. Although illegal in Pakistan, this is still practiced in rural regions, particularly those bordering Afghanistan, and further entrenches the sexuality of Muslim men in a libidinal economy of rape. To accommodate this split in the male libido, Islam tells Muslim men that infidel women are religiously sanctioned objects of rape, and that under Islam, a women is a female child who has menstruated. Again, this further invests the emotions that would otherwise lead to feelings of love and affection in the economy of rape. This psychic investment of the libido of Muslim men in rape is increased and worsened when they are living in non-Islamic countries, and above all in European countries in which women, not only in law but increasingly in our behaviour, have acquired equality with men. Confronted with the public expression of the freedom of White women from religious interdictions, the Muslim man is made aware of the restriction on his sexuality enforced by Islam, creating further feelings of sexual humiliation and servitude. In response, and in order to stop this becoming a source of apostasy, young Muslim men are instructed by their communities, clan elders and imams to view men in non-Islamic countries as weak, precisely because we have, in their view, given up the power over women that Muslim men are taught by the Qur’an to believe is their God-given right (‘Men are in charge of women, because Allah has made the one of them to excel the other’, 4:34). Having handed responsibility for their sexual desires and their means of satisfaction to their God, their religion and their imam — who in this respect acts as their pimps — Muslim men compensate by turning their servitude (a Muslim is ‘one who submits’) into superiority over the non-Muslim men whose sexual freedom they envy. Since Muslim men have no relationship to Muslim women other than as breeders of their children, keepers of their homes and servants to them and other Muslim men, their only sexual relationship is to other men. Presumably, if hundreds of thousands of married Muslim men were having sex with their wives, they wouldn’t be raping 12-year-old English girls in all-male gangs, day after day, week after week, for years on end, in essentially homosexual acts of violence enacted on underage girls. To be a Muslim is, by definition, to be homosocial, with the corresponding propensity to homosexuality this encourages and facilitates. This explains the all-male communities in which almost all Muslim men live their lives while Muslim women are largely confined to their homes. Islam uses this religiously formed homosexuality to direct the libido of Muslim men towards the conquest of other men. And since Islam, in theory if not in practice, is a brotherhood of men, such conquest must be directed against non-Muslim men. As can often be seen in the behaviour of men who are both weak and aggressive — exemplified, perhaps, by the sudden attraction of young Western men to transvestism — and who gain their self-worth from threatening and attacking women, it’s the non-Muslim women that Muslim men rape; but it’s the non-Muslim men — to whom, in their own understanding of sexual relations, they attribute ‘ownership’ of the raped women — that they are trying to dominate. In non-Islamic countries, Muslim men are overwhelmingly uneducated, unskilled and financially poor compared to the native male population. Muslims in Britain, which accepts the detritus of the world, have the lowest employment rate, by far the lowest median salary, the smallest proportion with degrees in higher education, by far the least household wealth of any religious group, and whose working men earn less than the Muslim women who are in employment. The primary way Muslim men compete with White men, therefore, is through the sexual harassment, physical abuse and rape of White women and children. As an example of this, the legal defense of the two Pakistani brothers, Mohammed Fahir Amaaz and Muhammad Amaad, who violently assaulted police officers in Manchester Airport in July 2024 was that the officers had no right to search their mother. In their eyes, their defence of the venerated object of Islamic interdiction — that is, the Muslim mother — justified their assault of a woman police constable, in the process breaking her nose. But it is non-Muslim (police) men whose authority they defied on the basis of Sharia law. Burdened with a sexuality that has never advanced into adulthood, a Muslim man cannot have a sexual relationship with his wife beyond the needs of reproduction or the mechanical release of semen — masturbation to orgasm, at least in theory, being prohibited (haram) by Islam. The only sexual relationship a Muslim man can have, therefore, is with a non-Muslim woman. And just as men sexually addicted to prostitutes do so to justify this debasement of themselves, he calls them ‘whores’, trying to convince himself that it is the women, and not he, who is dirty, degraded, etc. Islam is rife with this debasement of women, which is justified as the religiously-sanctified response to women who do not dress, or behave, or speak in a manner the Qur’an describes as ‘modest’. Women in France already wear oversized clothing on public transport to avoid harassment by the millions of Muslim men successive French governments have allowed into their country. Today it’s a baggy pullover, but for their daughters and ours it will be the hijab and the burqa. Undoubtedly, another function of the mass rape of European women is the campaign of terror that will compel their populations to embrace Sharia law. It’s a short step from normalising the violence of a woman clad from head to foot in a burqa to a woman who, because of her immodesty in failing to do so, is the religiously sanctioned object of rape. Not universally but in varying degrees, the libido of Muslim men can only find release in the rape of White women. Indeed, as young men in the West become increasingly addicted to pornography, the sexuality of White adolescents is becoming as bound to rape and violence as that of Muslim men. The rape of White women, therefore, which Islam not merely condones but has created and entrenched in the libido of Muslim men, has both a religious cause and a geopolitical goal, that being the conquest of non-Islamic countries by Islam. One of the most famous historical examples is the mass rape of German women by the Soviet soldiers who conquered Nazi Germany; but like all soldiers — whatever their nation and throughout history — who are in occupation of a conquered country, rape is both a reward for the conquerors and an instrument for the intimidation and humiliation of the conquered. But in Islam it is, in addition, a sign — in this case written by Allah — of the conquest of an infidel country. Far from being ashamed of the mass rape of the women and children of the conquered country, Muslim men — and women too, who are complicit in covering up the crimes of their husbands and sons — are proud of it. Mass rape by Muslim men in a conquered country — which in Britain now is a daily occurrence — is the forerunner of the 72 virgins Muslim men who have died for Allah are promised in heaven (Qur’an 56:36). This ‘reward’ of virginal girls who have no say in their rape in Islam’s rapists’ heaven in itself is an expression of the adolescent sexuality in which Muslim men are condemned by their religion to live their limited and violent lives. For all these reasons, the mass rape of White women and children by Muslim men is not an aberration, not an isolated incident, not even, for Muslims, a crime. It is, rather, at the heart of a religion that has been devoted, since its birth in the Seventh Century, to conquest. Rape is the dark heart of the Islamic faith, and every White woman in Britain and across Europe has been sacrificed by their government to its barbaric beliefs and rites. If you don’t want to see your daughter, niece, girlfriend, wife or any more British women gang raped by Muslim men and want to know what we can do to stop the rape of Britain by these animals, please consider purchasing a copy of my new book, The Great Replacement and the Islamisation of Britain.

These aren’t small, innocent nonprofits. They’re enormous operations. Beyond the massive endowments, these are large corporations with around 10 Billion in annual revenue. Margins are reported to be close to zero because of the non-profit structure, but that’s due to the massive bloat in the system. If you applied basic operating discipline, for example taking a private equity lens with clear performance metrics, a huge fraction of the place could be gutted. You’d end up with the same output and substantial margins.

Harvard is asking donors for $10M to promote “viewpoint diversity” while sitting on $50B and a faculty that’s ~82% liberal and ~0% conservative. If you need $10M to hear a different opinion in a $50B institution, the problem isn’t funding.

Extending human productive life and restoring lost function should be the ultimate objective of AI-powered discovery medicine. It was a great pleasure to share some the story, current progress and long-term plans at one of the most impactful events of this year attended by thousands of developers and executives from multiple industries. I also loved the backstage discussion with Geely (kind of like GM of China that reinvented itself as the high-tech company) about what can be done in a car to extend productive longevity of a passenger. Technically, it should be the natural extension of your home, your hospital, and your lab to help you love longer and discover life saving interventions for the others. We should add the car to this paper: aginganddisease.org/EN/10.14336/AD…

Wow. AI just designed a brand-new antibiotic in seconds 👀 Traditional drug discovery = test 1 million molecules SyntheMol-RL = explores up to 46 billion compounds That’s a 4,600,000% increase in search power. Researchers have built a generative AI system called SyntheMol-RL that can design novel antibiotic candidates from scratch. Instead of painfully testing compounds one by one, the model builds molecules using real chemical reactions and 150,000 molecular building blocks. Using reinforcement learning, it doesn’t just generate molecules, it optimizes them for antibacterial activity and water solubility at the same time. In lab validation, the system: > Generated thousands of candidates > Synthesized 79 real compounds > Found 13 active antibiotics, including completely novel ones One standout molecule, synthecin, showed strong effectiveness against drug-resistant Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in mouse infection models. This is one of the first times an AI system has gone from idea → molecule → real-world validation this fast. We went from searching for drugs.. to designing them on demand.

The body has sophisticated mechanisms that respond to nutrient scarcity—suppressing growth, enhancing autophagy, improving mitochondrial quality control. SGLT-2 inhibitors exploit this by creating artificial scarcity: blocking kidney glucose reabsorption forces 60–80g daily into urine, lowering circulating glucose and insulin. The result: four longevity pathways activate simultaneously—AMPK, SIRT1, mTOR suppression, and insulin/IGF-1 attenuation.
