No, women are not retarded. They are conformist. To fall for, actually fall for, narratives like the Covid story, the BLM story, the ICE is Gestapo story, to actually whole-heartedly believe them, yeah, you would have to be kinda retarded. But women didn't "fall for" those stories. Not exactly. They aligned to them. This means they went along with them, repeated them, reinforced them, not because they were convinced by evidence, but because they were convinced by the appearance of consensus. Women are evolved to believe what the rest of the tribe appears to believe. Evidence is not considered. Why? Well, humans are smart. We survive by being smart. And in order to be smart, we need to grow big brains, and get started growing those brains early. Which means human babies have giant heads. And in order to deliver those giant heads, human babies have to be born prematurely. Otherwise, head won't fit through pelvic girdle, and baby and mother both die. This means all human babies are premature. That's why horses can run at the age of six hours, but humans can't lift our giant heads for months. This means that human women, whether they are pregnant with a giant-headed baby, caring for a giant-headed baby, or just might be either one at any moment, are uniquely helpless and dependent on the support and goodwill of the tribe. Metaphorically, and often literally, a woman lives in someone else's house — not because she's a useless layabout, but because she is too busy building the future to support herself in the present. When you're in that position, you have to keep your controversial ideas to yourself. And when you evolve in that position, you evolve to have no controversial ideas. This was fine for millions of years. There was a division of labor. Women made people, men made stuff. And because the women made all those biological sacrifices to make men with big brains, the men were really good at making stuff. And the stuff was really, really useful, and it became big piles of stuff called "cities", and then it became a global system of stuff called "civilization". The stuff became so valuable that there were big arguments about what to do with the stuff, which was called "politics". But the women stayed out of politics, because politics was about stuff, stuff was men's job, and no matter who won the arguments, the winners always made sure the women had enough stuff. Why? Because dependent, future-investing, conformist women didn't evolve in a vacuum. Men evolved along with them. When you have dependent women, you evolve protective men, because tribes full of men who aren't protective don't have future generations. So women didn't wield political power directly. They were represented by men, and had a lot less skin in the game. Eventually, someone decided this was unfair. This idea didn't happen suddenly, and for no reason at all, but that's a topic for another day. But something funny happens when you give political power to women, especially in the form of a vote. You see, then you have a situation where 50% of the vote is held by people who require a great variety of different persuasion techniques or evidence to convince them of something. And the other 50% is held by women, who are persuaded by only one thing... the appearance of prevailing consensus and power. And what form of persuasion do you think is cheapest and easiest to project? Women's suffrage removes evidence and discourse from politics, and replaces it with "consensus theater"... a puppet show designed to create the illusion of a single prevailing opinion. When a narrative prevails, women vote for it, not because they are persuaded, but because it prevails. This is an explosive feedback loop — a reverse thermostat which turns the air conditioner on when it's freezing, and runs the furnace all summer. Because women's idea of how urgent an issue is comes not from an analysis of the situation, but an analysis of how many people endorse it. And any opinion, no matter how contrary to obvious facts, no matter how retarded, no matter how destructive, can become the prevailing political platform, so long as women can be convince that most other people think so. Covid was a Chinese bioweapon. The Covid shot was toxic and did not protect against Covid. George Floyd was violent drug zombie who died of an overdose, and Derek Chauvin is in prison merely for being the last guy to touch him. Police officers do not disproportionately kill innocent black men who are minding their own business, and body cams prove this. Men cannot become women. The technology doesn't exist, and may not ever exist. Diversity is, in fact, our greatest weakness. Diversity + integration = war. America is better off without the vast majority of immigrants, even the ones who don't murder and steal. Socialism doesn't work in any unit larger than the extended family. Communism has never worked, and cannot work. Cows are health food. Plants are usually not. Some kids are smarter than others, and we need to invest more effort in them, not less. All of these things are inherently obvious, and women are not too retarded to see that, because they are not retarded at all. They are merely conformist. Susceptible to political theater. So democracies cannot permanently survive female suffrage. No one is particularly happy about this, not even curmudgeonly iconoclasts like me who are willing to say it out loud. It's not only unfair in principle, it's decidedly inconvenient in practice. The universe, of course, does not care. We cannot change women. We can only change politics. That won't be easy, either. But it's possible, even if the eventual process involves a lot more violence, or space colonization, than we find convenient.

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is almost here. Before Matt Damon faces gods, monsters and the longest trip home in history, here is Homer’s nearly 3,000-year-old epic in plain English. Yes, there are spoilers. Homer has had plenty of time to warn you. ~~~ 1. THE WAR IS FINALLY OVER ⚔️ Odysseus, played by Matt Damon, is the king of Ithaca and one of the smartest Greek commanders in the Trojan War. After ten years of fighting, he creates the plan that finally defeats Troy: The Trojan Horse. The Greeks hide soldiers inside it, enter the city and destroy Troy from within. The war is over. Odysseus just needs to sail home to his wife Penelope, played by Anne Hathaway, and their son Telemachus, played by Tom Holland. It should be a short journey. It takes another ten years. ~~~ 2. HE ANNOYS THE WRONG GOD 👁️ Odysseus and his men become trapped inside a cave belonging to Polyphemus, a giant Cyclops who begins eating them. Odysseus gets him drunk, tells him his name is “Nobody” and blinds him while he sleeps. When Polyphemus screams that Nobody is attacking him, no one comes to help. A perfect escape. Until Odysseus proudly reveals his real name. Polyphemus happens to be the son of Poseidon. The god of the sea now knows exactly who ruined his son’s eye, and he makes sure Odysseus does not reach home easily. ~~~ 3. EVERY STOP MAKES THINGS WORSE ⛵️ From there, the journey becomes a collection of increasingly terrible travel decisions. The Lotus-Eaters make his men forget about returning home. Aeolus gives Odysseus a bag containing every dangerous wind, but his curious crew opens it just before reaching Ithaca. The Laestrygonians, a race of giant cannibals, destroy almost his entire fleet. Odysseus left Troy with twelve ships. Soon, only one remains. ~~~ 4. CIRCE TURNS HIS MEN INTO PIGS 🐷 Odysseus reaches the island of Circe, a powerful sorceress who transforms part of his crew into pigs. With help from the god Hermes, Odysseus resists her magic and forces her to restore them. But Circe eventually becomes his ally. She tells him that getting home requires one more completely reasonable step: Traveling to the Underworld and speaking with the dead. There, Odysseus learns what still awaits him and receives a warning about the choices ahead. ~~~ 5. THE SEA GETS EVEN WORSE 🌊 First come the Sirens, whose voices lure sailors to their deaths. Odysseus orders his crew to block their ears with wax and tie him to the mast so he can hear their song without jumping into the sea. Then he must sail between two monsters. Scylla, a six-headed creature that eats sailors from the deck. And Charybdis, a giant whirlpool capable of swallowing the entire ship. He survives both. His crew does not survive what comes next. Despite being warned, they kill and eat the sacred cattle of the sun god Helios. Zeus responds by destroying their ship. Every member of the crew dies. Odysseus is now completely alone. ~~~ 6. SEVEN YEARS WITH CALYPSO 🧜‍♀️ Odysseus washes ashore on the island of Calypso, played by Charlize Theron. She falls in love with him and keeps him there for seven years. She offers him comfort, love and even immortality. But Odysseus refuses to abandon the idea of returning home. Athena, played by Zendaya, finally convinces the gods to intervene. Calypso is ordered to release him, and Odysseus sails once again toward Ithaca. ~~~ 7. HOME HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER 🏹 While Odysseus has been missing, more than a hundred men have occupied his palace. They consume his food, waste his fortune and pressure Penelope to choose one of them as her new husband. Penelope delays them with a trick. She promises to choose a husband after finishing a funeral shroud, but every night she secretly undoes the work she completed during the day. Telemachus, meanwhile, has grown up without his father and is searching for answers about what happened to him. When Odysseus finally reaches Ithaca, Athena disguises him as an old beggar. Nobody recognizes the king inside his own home. Penelope then announces a final test. She will marry the man capable of stringing Odysseus’ bow and firing an arrow through twelve axe heads. Every suitor fails. The beggar takes the bow. He completes the challenge, reveals his identity and, with Telemachus beside him, kills the men who invaded his home. But Penelope still needs proof that he is really her husband. She tests him with a secret only the two of them know about their marriage bed. Odysseus gives the correct answer. After twenty years of war, monsters, gods, shipwrecks, temptation and loss, he is finally home. That is The Odyssey. A story about intelligence, pride, survival and a man refusing to give up on the family waiting for him. And it became so legendary that, nearly 3,000 years later, we still call any long and difficult journey an odyssey. Which part are you most excited to see Nolan bring to the screen? 🤔

Yes, we know you don’t investigate, report on, or even consider censorship of the left. You’ve made that very clear. It’s more important to write articles about how Bari Weiss’ critics are “jealous losers,” actually, and tweeting bravely about how no one can make you call Gaza a genocide against your will.
