@TPV_John It's retarded that a metonym derived from where people sat in the National Constituent Assembly during the French Revolution is the defining paradigm for the political order to this day.

@dunce_scotus_ @FlackJimmmy @BarryTizer @Babygravy9 They truly are the morally righteous.

@RaefOnevah @FlackJimmmy @BarryTizer @Babygravy9 Up the neanderthals!

One thing that’s very noticeable in GB is that almost all security workers are now from the Subcontinent or Africa. They’ve been totally replaced: railway stations and airports, festivals, supermarkets, etc. Not a single white British person.

@BarryTizer @dunce_scotus_ @FlackJimmmy @Babygravy9 You're welcome.

@RaefOnevah @dunce_scotus_ @FlackJimmmy @Babygravy9 No we can stick with just them thanks.

@dunce_scotus_ @FlackJimmmy @BarryTizer @Babygravy9 You're absolutely correct that any Indo-European claim to indigeneity is spurious, which includes Bell Beaker–descended Celts. My claim was about them being the oldest definable group still inhabiting the Isles, as WHG and Anatolian Early Farmers survive only as genetic traces.

@RaefOnevah @FlackJimmmy @BarryTizer @Babygravy9 Liberal claptrap: you just ignore the bell beaker invaders when you know only corded ware culture is truly indigenous.

@bryan_johnson Sorry, can't read on past the incorrect verbal alignment of 'My data suggests'.

Two doses of magic mushrooms degraded my sperm count from the 99.6th percentile to the 77.7th. This may be a first-in-human observation. Context: we ran the most quantified magic mushroom (psilocybin) experiment ever conducted. We were asking if psilocybin is a longevity therapy. After seeing the data, we think it is (see reply post for the experiment summary). Also, like most things biology: the results are complicated. My data suggests that the magic mushrooms (psilocybin) negatively impacted my fertility markers. Before the first psilocybin dose my motile sperm count was at 99.6th percentile for men under 25 years of age, it dropped to 77.7% and partially recovered to 89.3% following the first dose, and second doses, compared to the same age cohort (numbers compare similarly to my age cohort as well). 3 days following my second dose (first dose 25 mg, second dose 28 mg) . Motility: dropped 51% . Total count: almost unchanged, dropped by 2% . Total motile count: dropped 52% . Normal morphology: dropped by 50% 20 days post 2nd dose, the pattern continued, with typical latent effects on total sperm counts Motility: recovered back to -2% of pre-psilocybin baseline: . Total count: dropped by 38%, latent effect. . Total motile count: remained inhibited at -39% of pre-psilocybin baseline, (despite motility normalizing, due to the total count drop) . Morphology normalized to -10% of baseline levels. Reduction in free testosterone might have contributed to the effect. While total serum testosterone increased by 30% 3 days following the 2nd dose (neither FSH or LH were meaningfully affected either), and continued to be at 11% above baseline, SHBG increased by 37%, SHBG binds testosterone and reduces its bioavailability and activity. My free testosterone (direct) showed 24% and 23% drops at 3 and 20 days post 2nd dose. In light of the neuroplastic, well-being, brain reset, and systemic metabolic and anti-inflammatory benefits, the trade-off is probably worth it. Especially considering that the magnitude of inhibition has no meaningful effect on actual fertility (total motile counts above 50 million are still on the safe side). This is a first-in-human observation, to our knowledge there is no published human clinical study demonstrating that psilocybin diminishes male fertility markers. General mechanistic evidence exists for recreational and psychoactive drugs possibly inhibiting fertility markers due to their effects on the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis and general hormonal reset.  Yet no direct evidence for psilocybin or other similar psychedelics inhibiting fertility markers exist. A potential mechanism for the immediate inhibition of motility could involve direct serotonergic signaling in sperm. Human sperm express multiple serotonin receptors, including 5-HT2A, and one recent study found that a 5-HT2A antagonist reduced sperm motility, suggesting that 5-HT2A may regulate motility. Psilocybin is known to bind 5-HT2A with high affinity.

@dunce_scotus_ @FlackJimmmy @BarryTizer @Babygravy9 This is great. First them, then the Normans, followed by the Anglo-Saxons. Only then will the Islands be returned to the indigenous Celts.

@FlackJimmmy @BarryTizer @Babygravy9 Yes, deport the legally resident and gainfully employed. It's the only morally correct thing to do.

@TommiPrecious @Babygravy9 It appears to be normative smuggling via motte-and-bailey: say cruelty, argue for indifference, while using rhetorical laundering to legitimise an ill-defined call for actual cruelty - 'A will to do what is necessary even at the cost of inflicting great suffering.'

@TommiPrecious @Babygravy9 It's not even clear what the cruelty would be as the post is actually about cultivating indifference (as explicitly stated in the concluding paragraph).

I believe in the necessity, even the desirability of cruelty. Not the kind of cruelty that defines the peasant, the lumpenprole or the “wretched of the earth,” who torture children and small animals as a way of handing on their own misery and maintaining a form of agency in a world beyond their control and conception. Such people are worse than apes, and deserve to be treated as such. I mean a cultivated, dispassionate cruelty. A will to do what is necessary even at the cost of inflicting great suffering. Nietzsche said this is what defines greatness: not the ability to ensure suffering but to inflict it. In the titanic struggle currently unfolding, the nations of the West will have to cultivate a total indifference to the suffering of hundreds of millions or even billions of people beyond its borders. If even a fraction of the projected number of migrants this century is allowed to reach the West and settle, the West will die.

@Babygravy9 If the East comes to the West, the West can go to the East.

@ArchRose90 Why is he so emaciated?

I was unaware that it was Ramadan. You hardly mentioned it.

@sandeepnailwal There are significant category errors and equivocations here. You go from consciousness to awareness to inner experience to Vedantic panpsychism. The latter point is especially confusing, as surely it is an argument in support of LLM consciousness, just not in the way some claim.

LLM based AI is NOT conscious. I co-founded a company literally called Sentient, we're building reasoning systems for AGI, so believe me when I say this. I keep seeing smart people, people I genuinely respect, come out and say that AI has crossed into some kind of awareness. That it feels things, that we should worry about it going rogue. And i think this whole conversation tells us way more about ourselves than it does about AI. These models are wild, i won't pretend otherwise. But feeling human and actually having inner experience are completely different things and we're confusing the two because our brains literally can't help it. We evolved to see minds everywhere and now that wiring is misfiring on language models. I grew up in a philosophical tradition that has thought about consciousness longer than almost any other, and this is the part that really frustrates me about the current conversation. The entire framing of "does AI have consciousness?" assumes consciousness is something you build up to by adding more layers of complexity. In Vedantic philosophy it's the opposite. You don't build toward consciousness. Consciousness is already there, more fundamental than matter or energy. Everything else, including computation, is downstream of it. When someone tells me AI is "waking up" because it generated a paragraph that felt real, what they're telling me is how thin our understanding of consciousness has gotten. We've reduced a question humans have wrestled with for thousands of years to "did the output sound like it had feelings?" It's math that has gotten really good at predicting what a conscious being would say and do next. Calling that consciousness cheapens something that Vedantic, Buddhist, Greek and Sufi thinkers spent millennia actually sitting with. We didn't build something that thinks. We built a mirror and right now a lot of very smart people are mistaking the reflection for something looking back.

@ItIsHoeMath @JoshPhillipsPhD And yet you are using words (monetized ones at that). Not only that, you are blaming this person for you not getting 'militant'. Even more so, you can't even admit it directly as you say 'we are still not doing it' instead of taking personal responsibility for your inaction.

Decolonize means kill White people. Please get with the program. Everything they say means kill White people. There is no more reason to use words. The time for using force began 30 years ago. We are still not doing it because people like you keep yakking about how silly their words are. They are getting rid of white people as quickly as they can and they are screaming out loud "we are getting rid of white people," and you are not doing a fucking thing about it except rolling your eyes at their language. Get militant. Nothing else will change the course

The more I read this, the more I realize how it is utterly illiterate. How exactly do you decolonize someone’s birthplace? He lived there. No one came in and conquered his house. It’s just a house of a man that exists. These people are exhausting 🙄

@mark_k I've noticed the X algorithm favours short posts; I like brevity.

I've lately noticed that the X algorithm now favors short posts more. Which is good because I like brevity. 😏

@sickOfWFH @avidseries Or, we could just abolish all schools.

@RaefOnevah @avidseries Limit the # of AP classes to 3 per year and match each class demographic profile to the school demographic profile. White kid wants to major in engineering and enroll in AP CompSci? Sorry, we already have a white student in that class… how about Honors Spanish 3 instead?

In 2024, this 91% non-white high school in San Francisco had a higher acceptance rate at Berkeley than most of the top-rated high schools in the state. Math proficiency: 7% Science: 6% Graduation rate: 76% How did this happen? Answer: Antiracism.

@ItIsHoeMath What would be convenient for you?

Good morning third world immigrants are dirty cockroaches and if you do not agree you are also a dirty cockroach Getting rid of them the most convenient possible way must be your only focus

@sickOfWFH @avidseries So actual enrollment was 19 white people (that, due to the separation of them in US stats, have their own category), plus 4 Asian kids.

@RaefOnevah @avidseries

@FpLiOnYkD__ @avidseries Legacy admissions were (largely) not mertit based and they were accepted at roughly double the rate of non-legacy students. Harvard had about 40% legacy students at the pre-1960s peak.

@avidseries I remember the good ol’ days when colleges (especially premier schools) accepted students on merit. Continues to show how most college degrees are absolutely useless now.

@avidseries Would be rather funny if those accepted were the 9% white kids as a reward for enduring their four years there.

Mission High School student acceptance rate at UC Berkeley. 2023: 43% (39 students admitted out of 90 applicants) 2024: 37% (29 students admitted out of 78 applicants)

@PrissyGood @TheRobertPWills @BishopDewar @Kegan545 But he is a Bishop of the Confessing Anglican Church, which is most certainly not CofE. This argument is a composition fallacy.

@TheRobertPWills @BishopDewar @Kegan545 booom..

As a Bishop, I cannot stay silent. I have today drafted and sent an open letter to His Majesty King Charles III, the text of which reads as follows: To: His Majesty, Charles III, King of the United Kingdom and the Realms, Supreme Governor of the Church of England, Bearer of the ancient title Defender of the Faith. Your Majesty, I write to you neither as a politician nor as a commentator, but as one of your loyal subjects who, as a bishop of Christ’s Church, cannot remain silent while the Christian foundations of this kingdom are steadily dismantled. Sir, there are moments in the life of a nation when silence becomes a form of betrayal. If I refused to speak to Your Majesty now, this would be such a moment. For more than a thousand years the Crown of this realm has stood in solemn covenant with the Christian faith. The laws of this land were shaped by it. The liberties of our people were nurtured by it. The conscience of our civilisation was formed by it. From the abbeys of medieval England to the parish churches of our villages, from the preaching of the Reformers to the missionary zeal that carried the Gospel to the ends of the earth, the Christian faith has not merely influenced Britain — it has defined her. Yet today that inheritance is being quietly but deliberately eroded. Across the institutions of this nation there is a growing hostility toward the faith that built them. Christian belief is mocked in the public square. Christian morality is dismissed as intolerance. Christian institutions are pressured to surrender doctrine in order to conform to the ideology of the age. Within the very Church that bears the name of England, voices have arisen that appear more eager to mirror the spirit of the age than to proclaim the eternal truth of the Gospel. Meanwhile, beyond the walls of our churches, powerful political movements openly speak of removing Christianity from its historic place within the life of this nation. What would once have been whispered is now proclaimed openly: that Britain must become a post-Christian state. It is in this context that I write to you, Your Majesty. For the British Crown does not stand apart from this crisis. The Sovereign of this realm bears a title that is not merely historic but sacred in its origin and meaning: Defender of the Faith. Those words are not decorative. They are a charge. They speak of a monarch whose duty is not merely to preside over the ceremonies of the Church, but to stand as a guardian of the Christian inheritance of the nation. Yet many among your subjects now ask, with increasing anxiety: “Who will defend that inheritance today?” They see a nation drifting from its foundations. And they ask whether the Crown will remain silent while that inheritance is dismantled. Your Majesty, may I be so bold as to observe that your coronation oath was not a poetic formality. It was a solemn vow made before Almighty God to maintain and preserve the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law. Those words bind the conscience of the sovereign. They remind the Crown that its authority is not merely constitutional but moral. The monarch is not merely a symbol of national continuity, but a custodian of the spiritual inheritance that shaped this realm. History records moments when kings and emperors were confronted by the Church and reminded that their authority was accountable before God. In the fourth century Ambrose of Milan stood before the Emperor Theodosius I and reminded him that even the ruler of an empire must bow before the moral law of Christ. That tradition of prophetic witness has never disappeared. Nor should it. For when rulers forget the foundations upon which their authority rests, the Church must speak — not with hostility, but with holy clarity. And so, I write to say this, Your Majesty: The Christian character of this nation is under profound and accelerating assault. If the Crown does not stand visibly and courageously in defence of that inheritance, history will record that the guardians of Britain’s institutions watched in silence as the foundations were removed. The issue before us is not nostalgia. It is civilisation. Remove Christianity from the story of Britain and you do not create a neutral society — you create a moral vacuum. And history teaches us that moral vacuums are never left empty for long. Your Majesty now stands at a crossroads that few monarchs in modern history have faced. For the erosion of Britain’s Christian inheritance will not ultimately be judged by speeches made in Parliament or debates in the press. It will be judged by whether those entrusted with the guardianship of our ancient institutions chose to defend them — or merely preside over their quiet surrender. You may preside over the quiet dissolution of Britain’s Christian identity. Or you may rise to the ancient responsibility entrusted to the Crown and speak with clarity about the faith that built this kingdom. The first path requires little courage. The second will require a great deal. But it is the path that history honours. Your Majesty’s subjects are not asking for religious coercion. They are asking for leadership. They are asking that the sovereign who bears the title Defender of the Faith remember what that title means. They are asking that the Crown hear the growing cry of anguish from Christians across this land who feel that the spiritual inheritance of their nation is being surrendered without resistance. And they are asking whether the Crown will stand with them. For the faith that shaped Britain is not merely a cultural ornament. It is the wellspring from which our laws, our liberties, and our moral imagination have flowed. If it is cast aside, the nation will discover — too late — that it has severed itself from the very roots that sustained it. Your Majesty, to many the Crown is a symbol of authority. But before God it is also a symbol of stewardship. And stewardship carries with it the duty to defend what has been entrusted. May Almighty God grant Your Majesty the wisdom to discern this hour, and the courage to fulfil the sacred duty entrusted to the Crown. Yours faithfully, Bishop Ceirion H.

Defunding the BBC is peasant thinking. We need to keep the BBC but fire every single person on day 1 and rebuild it from the ground up.
