@AntiCommieBecca @avidseries Weirdly, "oppressing" women actually makes their lives better EVEN FOR THEM, but they only see it afterwards.

@avidseries This is not going to make conservatives angry. In fact, many of them openly accept it & advocate for it. You’d be surprised the amount of people all over the world who say who cares just treat women like shit. Oppress them and make their lives miserable.🤷‍♀️

This is a good description of our new reality: Under ideal financial circumstances, men will want marriage and a family; under similarly ideal circumstances, women won't. Does this reveal true preferences? Conservatives will hate this, but it may be the case that those traditional social expectations women faced back when they had much fewer options, may have actually been oppressive. And the evidence for this is that as soon as women are able to escape those expectations, they do — and we're seeing the result around the modernizing world in plummeting fertility rates.

Is there anything more selfish and narcissistic than cheering for a future full of destructive race laws that won’t affect YOU, but the next generation, just so you can feel morally dignified for a moment while you enjoy your glass of R600 chardonnay? Shame!!!

There are literally NO worse people than generational traitors like @AdriaanBasson. Why? Rich Boomer telling young White Africans to just keep quiet and accept (even celebrate) the ANC's race laws that exclude them from jobs, promotions and disqualify their children.

@DisdainfulAnon @Valspar111 @Geiger_Capital So you prefer William, Robert and Richard instead of Wahid, Rafiq, and Rasheed?

England was 99.9% white in 1950. Not 90%… 99.9%. At current rates of immigration, the White British will be a minority in one generation.

I’m not mocking her masculinity. I’m denying its existence.

Am Ende dürfte die Antibabypille von ihren demographischen Folgen her für Europa weit katastrophalere Auswirkungen haben als beide Weltkriege zusammen. Neben dem massiven Geburtenrückgang (unter die Reproduktionsrate) ist sie – Wesentlich für den Niedergang der Ehe und Familie verantwortlich. – Schuf ein Klima des sexuellen Hedonismus und entkoppelte in der Wahrnehmung der Menschen die Sexualität von der Fortpflanzung, so dass in der persönlichen Entwicklung die Phase des „Ausprobierens“ inzwischen bis in die 40er hineinreicht und somit westliche Frauen, bis sie sich binden und eine „Familie gründen“, die Phase ihrer eigenen Fruchtbarkeit verpassen. – Sie dürfte auf der geistigen Ebene wesentlich für die Infantilisierung des westlichen Menschen verantwortlich sein. – Ist durch die Hormonrückstände im Trinkwasser für die sinkenden Testosteronspiegel und somit für die Entmännlichung der westlichen Männer mitverantwortlich. – Selbst die WHO stuft die Pille als „krebserregend für den Menschen“ ein.

We keep on encountering the same problem as we did in the video games discourse. Humans have a built in psychological understanding of the difference between excess money and time when it’s possessed either by men or women. “Girl dollars” and “Girl Leisure Time” are usually meant (almost) exclusively for self-care. After basic needs are met, any requirement that a girl’s wealth be used for anything she doesn’t “want” is treated as an external imposition. “Boy Dollars” and “Boy Leisure Time” are meant first and foremost for security. After basic needs are met, Men must use their excess wealth to build a future for their kith and kin and mold the world in some way. Certainly, the man is allowed leeway to pursue crackpot ideas and passion projects. But these projects have to be part of a “plan” for the future. Only after this plan is secured can men pursue pure indulgences (like video games). But this logic goes out the window under modern circumstances. On its face, it is insane that a husband making 250k not cover his wife’s 90k debt. Failure to do so is NOT making a plan for his future family. Fertile marriages have to operate under the assumption that the woman will be pregnant tomorrow. That’s a multi-year obligation with more than a 90k opportunity cost for the woman. Letting the family sit in bad debt to make some kind of “point” is the picture of male tyranny. No responsible father would give his daughter to a man who thinks like that. But looking at the things the other way, without the traditional assumptions of marriage, it’s insane that this guy pay the girl’s debt. Here, we have to talk about the “girl plan”. Since the 90s, our society has deemed it necessary to ensure that average single women be on a track to have the same standard of living as women married to high-earning men. As such, there are entire educational and employment systems used to create a track for women to earn very high salaries by working on things they otherwise think are “validating” and avoiding things they consider arduous. Moreover, since most young women plan to marry a man who can provide future political and economic stability with his “boy dollars” and “boy leisure time”, the money she earns are “girl dollars” for “girl leisure time” naturally earmarked for “self-care”. Thus occurs a situation I have seen many times. Guy grinds into lucrative but dull professional, pays debt, works long hours. Woman follows passion uses money for self-care. Boy meets girl, girl wants boy to pay, wonders why he is not following a passion to change the world like she is. Now ideally, guy does pay, guy fulfills passionate desire to conquer the world and forge a future for his family in whatever spare time he has left after 50-60 hours of work. However, in no way is this system we have built in the name of fairness “fair”. Sure, you can pay your wife’s 90k student debt. But is there any understanding that the next 90k of opportunity-work she has will be spent on making a family rather than just more “self care”? After all, her time now equates to “girl dollars” which are implicitly earmarked for “self care”, taking that away is “oppressive”. Moreover, due to the political climate, I have seen ridiculous situations. Man goes and works long hours to compete with women and immigrants, then pays half his paycheck for his wife’s degree in “Women and immigrant empowerment studies”, spends his time worrying about how his son won’t be dispossessed by immigrants while his wife uses money she earned as the company’s “Immigrant empowerment officer” on self-care. The situation is insane. It’s like we have decided that for every pump filling up the reservoir there needs to be an equal and opposite pump draining it. Then we wonder why the reservoir is always dry.

Do you see that gap? That gap is where families are made. That gap is where men focus harder than women, to earn more money than women. It's where women can find men who earn more than they do to marry. It's where women find happiness putting plaits in a child's hair, instead of sitting at a flat pack desk, under fluorescent lights, on the 27th floor. At 9.30pm. Do you see that gap? Do you see how it's closed now?

@theallinpod No one is stupid enough to do deal with Elon. They'd all give 10% equity to Google for compute than give 2% equity to Musk

“Elon and Dario should do a deal tomorrow.” - Chamath explains how power constraints are giving Elon massive leverage to make AI deals “ To the extent that OpenAI missed, I think what that is, is an insight to not enough compute capacity today, and that problem is only getting worse. If you look at the actual amount of gigawatts that are under construction, we have a huge mismatch now. People have announced all these projects, but less than half of it is actually being built. Less than half. Most of it is stuck in red tape. There's no credible strategy to turn any of this stuff on. Who will this hurt? It will hurt Anthropic and OpenAI the most. Who will this benefit? It will benefit the hyperscalers, specifically Oracle, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Google. And now what you're going to see is a negotiation and a trade back and forth. How much equity do I have to give up? How much control do I have to give up to get access to the compute? How badly will I miss my growth forecasts if I don't? That's a huge lane for Grok and SpaceX to run through because they have a ton of excess capacity. And so I think the Cursor deal was the appetizer. If I were Elon now, I'd be running all over this market because if the models catch up in quality, I think he could also do something really crazy with Anthropic. He and Dario should do a deal tomorrow.”

"America is a creedal nation!" "Okay, can we test people to see if they believe in the creed before letting them in?" "No, that's racist." "Then can we kick them out if they don't believe in the creed?" "No, that's denying them due process and their constitutional rights." "Can I see a copy of this creed?" "Nope, no one can agree on exactly what it is. We think it has something to do with the declaration of independence, though." "Okay, so what you're saying is that this creed defines the nation, but it isn't defined, that it forms the basis of the law, but has no effect on the law, that we owe allegiance to it, but that allegiance cannot be tested or demanded?" "Yep!" "So the creed could be anything, couldn't it? It could be 'horsies are pretty', or 'eat at Joe's', and it wouldn't make the slightest difference?" "I suppose so. I never really thought about it. What's important is that judges decide who is an American, and what America's future will be." "Say, aren't you a judge?" "Yes, what's your point?"

@FranzMann1066 Ich bin generell gegen Ermordungen jeder Art.

@MarkusvonRoder Hat sich ein widerliches Geschwür in deine Seele Zugang verschafft das du schnellstmöglich wieder los werden musst weil es sonst dein gesamtes Leben einnehmen und zerstören wird. Gerade als Christ weiss man das jeder individuell entscheidet Gutes oder Böses zu tun nicht kollektiv

@MarkusvonRoder It was intellectuals some were of jewish families some werent most intellectuals then and today were anti zionists and anti conservatives Soros for example is funding lots of anti zionist movements every bit of propaganda trying to construct a jewish world conspiracy are bullshit

@FranzMann1066 @JoosyJew @CarrieZimbo Sure. But that is not what you should be looking at.

@MarkusvonRoder @JoosyJew @CarrieZimbo Nah just spend too much times with Vatniks. I rather would travel to Israel than to any Muslim majority country. I rather would have Jewish neighbors than Atheists or Muslims.

We can't win this fight on our own. As Jews, we don't have the numbers. But we're British Jews. It's instilled in us from an early age that the 'British' part always comes first. It's why Jews are considered a success story of assimilation and integration within British society. Please understand, this isn't a war only against Jews. We're just at the front of the queue. It's a war against British values and British way of life. We need all your help.

@FranzMann1066 @JoosyJew @CarrieZimbo *sigh* I used to be THIS blind myself.

@MarkusvonRoder @JoosyJew @CarrieZimbo Yes

@FranzMann1066 @JoosyJew @CarrieZimbo No.

@JoosyJew @CarrieZimbo Proper Catholics will support western values and thus oppose islamization and antisemitism.

Imagine a 19-year-old scrolling TikTok. She watches a creator list five "signs you have undiagnosed anxiety." She recognizes three in herself. By the end of the week, she's describing herself as anxious to her friends. A month later, she's avoiding situations she used to handle fine. What went wrong? In a new paper by my PhD student Dasha Sandra, titled "Why mental health awareness can harm: Converging explanations for a societal problem", we argue that well-meaning mental health awareness can backfire, and we identify how. Four separate literatures (concept creep, nocebo effects, prevalence inflation, and illness self-labeling) have been circling the same problem from different angles. We show they converge on three mechanisms: 1.Awareness lowers the threshold for what counts as a disorder. 2. It trains people to scan their inner lives for symptoms and reinterpret normal distress as pathology. 3. Once someone adopts an illness identity, they behave in ways that confirm and deepen it. The evidence is wide. Learning that loneliness is harmful makes solitude feel worse. Learning that stress is harmful worsens well-being and performance. Awareness videos about fake conditions like "wind turbine syndrome" produce real headaches. Trigger warnings raise anticipatory anxiety without reducing distress. This does not mean awareness should stop. It means awareness can have unintended consequences, including manufacturing the suffering it tries to prevent. Inoculating people against these mechanisms works, and we already have evidence it does. Link to paper: michael-inzlicht.squarespace.com/s/The-psycholo…

@MickeyDee43 @TomChivers No, women are LESS likely to do that, and you know this as well. Also, due to the high energy density of nuclear, you also know that the carbon costs of the externalities you mentioned don't matter much per TWh.

@TomChivers Maybe women are more likely to factor in the carbon cost of mining, refining and transportation of fuel as well as decommissioning rather than only focusing on the fission reaction in isolation.

This seems really bad and I don't know what to do about it: not so much the differences in political attitudes, that's fine, but there's a strong gender divide in belief on straightforward factual questions like "is nuclear energy low-carbon?" yougov.com/en-gb/articles…

Nick Fuentes fled the country. Candace Owens fled the country. Ian Carroll is 'taking a long break'. Jake Shields isn’t posting like he used to. Jackson Hinkle has clearly slowed down. So what exactly is going on with the woke right?
