Not condoning anything and I don’t know what type of lifestyle anyone was living to lead up to that, but if I got rushed, dragged to the floor repeatedly punched, kicked, hair dragged, despite me trying to leave, then I finally get in my car and someone from that group who just beat me up, tried to stop me, I may drive. Fight or flight response in human nature is real and she attempted fighting and it did not work. Yes I’d deserve to go to prison if it were me, but I can’t say someone is evil and calculated based on what I’ve seen in that video No one knows what they’d do in many sudden situations. Absolutely not justifying it, but you get kicked and punched and let me know what you’d do when you finally get in your car and you’re blocked by the same people who rushed you and may continue to fight you if they can get access to you. Sad on all sides especially as someone has lost their life. My opinion is purely based on what the footage shows.

Rich people already have an equivalent of a universal basic income. They don’t work for their money. They can sit around and collect on their passive investments. Any work they do is optional and for personal enjoyment. They seem to do okay.

Universal basic income is going to turn us all into zoo animals. Fed and housed, but lacking motivation and purpose, and subject to the whims of our zookeepers.

“At its peak, affair website Ashley Madison had 20 million active male users, but only 1492 active female ones. This difference is particularly stark given that men had to pay to use the website, whereas women were given a free lifetime membership.” stevestewartwilliams.com/p/keeping-it-c…

Incredible. Apparently everyone can claim UC discounts since they’re not verified against a DWP database.

⚡️The people who are most prone to depression in modern life are often people who have time and comfort but no purpose. The professional class with stable jobs and no deep stakes. The retired. The recently graduated. The recently divorced. The recently laid off. Transition states where the structure that gave meaning has been removed and nothing has replaced it. Those are the high risk populations and they’re high risk precisely because they have time to notice that something is missing. The modern mental health framework often treats depression as a discrete medical condition that can be addressed through medication and therapy without reference to the conditions of the person’s life. Sometimes that’s the right treatment. Sometimes the person’s life is structured in a way that will produce depression regardless of how much medication and therapy you give them. The symptoms can be managed but the underlying condition persists because it’s generated by the life itself, not by a disorder inside the person. Someone working a meaningless job with no relationships and no purpose is going to be depressed. That’s not a disorder. That’s an appropriate response to the conditions. The pathology is in the situation, not in the person. Treating the person without addressing the situation is managing symptoms while maintaining the cause. The patient gets slightly better or slightly worse but the depression doesn’t resolve because the conditions that produce it haven’t changed. What Trump is describing, probably without meaning to, is that if you change the conditions, the depression often takes care of itself. Not always. But often enough that it’s worth taking seriously. The person who finds a calling, builds something meaningful, falls in love, becomes a parent, commits to a mission, often reports that their depression lifted. Because the conditions that generated the depression were replaced by conditions that generate engagement. The mental health industry has a financial incentive not to say this clearly because the conclusion is that the most effective intervention for a significant chunk of depression is structural life change, not billable treatment. Medication and therapy are excellent businesses. Helping someone reorient their life around something they care about is not really a business at all. It requires the person to do the work themselves. There’s no pharmaceutical equivalent.

Trump: "I don't have time to be depressed. You know, if you stay busy enough, maybe that works too. That's what I do."

France, 1980s onwards. The French eat more butter, more cheese, more cream, more rillettes, more confit, more pâté, and more saturated animal fat than almost any other nation in the developed world. They drink more red wine. They smoke more. They exercise less. They have, for decades, had among the lowest rates of cardiovascular disease in the developed world. The south-west, around Toulouse and Gascony, where duck fat is used the way olive oil is used in Italy, has the lowest heart disease rate in France. This is called the French Paradox. The term was coined in 1992 by the French epidemiologist Serge Renaud after a CBS 60 Minutes segment brought the data to American attention and caused an almost vertical spike in American red wine sales. It is called a paradox because the official dietary guidelines, based on the lipid hypothesis, said the French should be dying at rates comparable to the Americans, and they are not. Paradox, in science, is the word you reach for when your model is wrong and you are not ready to say so. If the French were eating an American diet and dying at an American rate, it would be called confirmation. They would be cited in every textbook. They are eating a French diet and living. The model is wrong. The finding stands.

It's funny how AI has made white collar work 10x faster already but there's been basically no economic impact from it. The reason is quite simple: 1. Most white collar work is bullshit, so speeding it up by 10x still equals a pile of bullshit at the end 2. Most white collar employees are using AI to do all their work for the week in 4 hours instead of 40, whilst telling their manager the deadline is still 40 hours away We have been living in a fake economy for the better part of two decades. It is all a fugazi. People who do real jobs in the real world get paid comparatively crap, and people who do fake jobs in the fiat Ponzi world get paid just enough fiat currency to pretend they are important. None of it amounts to anything productive nor valuable for the world though. An entire generation doing fake email jobs, slide decks and excel sheets for corporations who ultimately produce nothing.

Camus@newstart_2024·
Helen Andrews dropped a blunt explanation for why wokeness proved so hard to kill: It’s rooted in feminine patterns of conflict — where disagreement isn’t debated, it’s treated as emotional harm that must be punished or silenced. Instead of open argument (like James Damore’s memo at Google), the response became “I can’t believe you said that” followed by attempts to get the person fired. Men tend to argue, resolve, and move on. Women, she argues, are more likely to hold onto grievances. If wokeness is partly a byproduct of rapid feminization of institutions, Andrews warns it won’t simply vanish with one election. It may be structural. She points to overly “HR-ified” workplaces where feminine preferences for emotional safety now dominate promotions, culture, and daily life — often sidelining masculine strengths in the process. Do you think some institutions have become too feminized in ways that suppress open debate and masculine virtues? Or is this framing off-base?

More wealth is currently held by the top 1% of society than at any point in history. That includes the French revolution where the poor revolted and murdered the hoarding 'elites'. Is this the reason most of us can't afford to live? No, it's the migrants obviously.

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

London, to judge by a network of anonymous social media accounts and blowhard Maga podcasters, is now a dystopian hellhole where there are no-go areas for non-Islamists, the murder rate per capita is higher than Lagos, you need to be Snake Plissken to use the Tube between Mornington Crescent and Chalk Farm, and the police will arrest you for saying “God Save The King”. Research published by City Hall presents evidence that this isn’t just a random meme: it’s a co-ordinated propaganda effort. With the help of analytical tools used by the National Cyber Security Centre, researchers have established that posts about London have risen by seven per cent in two years, and “London in decline” narratives have gone up by 150-200 per cent. These are coming, the researchers discover, not from the concerned citizens of Clapham but from from Sri Lankan-based troll-farms, Vietnamese Facebook networks, and Nigerian bot webs mimicking UK media. ✍️ Sam Leith Article | spectator.com/article/london…
