women moved left while men stayed sane because social media algorithms optimized for emotional reactions while society implemented more censorship policies women are more emotional and reactive (higher neuroticism across every culture studied), so they got captured while men largely ignored the feeds (or got captured by different things: porn, gambling, video games, manosphere) smartphones and social media built a culture where shock, outrage, and emotional bait won every engagement war and obviously women responded to it harder than men. facebook 2006, iphone 2007, instagram 2010 all coincide with more female leftism. teenage girl's mental health collapse closely correlates with this too the algorithms weren't designed to capture women but attention, and it ended up capturing the half more sensitive to consensus pressure first. women also complain more, and in a feminized society complaints carry institutional weight. universities, HR, media, education, healthcare etc, every institution they enter bends toward what they feel. censor any disagreement that seems "mean" and you get an algorithmically captured society. so they live in a made-up reality where everything validates their collectivism, their victimhood and their certainty that anyone who disagrees is evil (the TV and the movies and the media say so, so it must be true). four years of college, then thirty years inside institutions that never push back and you get this

they're calling them "consumers that changed habits" now

@coldhealing oof (true)

the line between makers and people with "poor socioeconomic conditions" is visible from space you can pick the country, the era and the colonizer. the line still draws itself from orbit. blank slate has to argue against satellites now

google maps and its consequences have been a disaster for the "it's all socioeconomic background" people

@RobertKennedyJr incredible how high were you?

in today's pictures that go insanely hard: RFK riding a rhino

just realized that what makes this the more comical is that marcus aurelius ran an empire, fought wars, and buried his children. the "modern stoic" runs an instagram. you can tell whether someone needs the philosophy by what would happen to them on a bad day. and ryan needs the opposite of stoicism

> spend 20 years studying a philosophy about not letting your emotions control you > build a career teaching it to other people > get emotional at a 30 second video of the daughter of the guy you don’t like best argument against stoicism is its biggest evangelist

to be fair she would not be wrong if i was from the south, the romans called them 'graeculi' for a reason

my wife just said, and I quote, “we have a mixed race baby because you’re Italian”

@WomanDefiner crying in happiness!

@IterIntellectus You're White in my book.

@tunguz she is

@IterIntellectus A very Boer thing to say.

@tunguz incredible

OK, this is getting super exciting!

@ShitpostRock2 somali daycare owner

What jobs actually get people houses like these?

@lilbabygandhi it’s gross and dirty and savage and only animals do it

There hasn’t been a single good argument against eating with your hands other than “it looks weird” or “it’s the wrong type of food to eat with your hands”

@MichaelAArouet x.com/IterIntellectu…

That's an interesting chart. Young men have stayed similarly conservative for over 25 years, while young women have drifted much further left. Why such a divergence? What has changed for young women that hasn't changed for young men?

@scrips_ yeah

@IterIntellectus almost all empires were subject to this. comfort overwrites natural drives. mind selects for more options, more comfort, kids adverse.

no european country's fertility rate reaches the replacement rate

@anothercohen Good luck!

Third baby arrives in 9 hours. Wish us luck 🫡

@cozy_abyss Switzerland will mostly be fine

@IterIntellectus They'll be overrun within 5 years unless White men wake up.

there are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see

@akarlin Paul blocked me when I (politely) pointed out that by blocking anyone who disagrees with him he may have put himself in an eco chamber

@IterIntellectus Paul Graham blocked me a couple of years ago when I (politely) pointed out that his experiences as a billionaire with a castle in the UK would not be reflective of average life on crime and free speech.

genuinely astonishing how some people can be so smart and yet so stupid paul advocated for the policies that led to this. and he’ll look you in the eyes confused as to why it happened incredible

@cixliv yeah

@IterIntellectus Something is deeply wrong with Paul. He’s a completely irrational person from a political perspective but pragmatic with business. His brain works in mysterious ways
