My understanding from people who work in the porn industry is that incest porn is actually a pretty niche thing, but the people who like it really like and are going to watch video after video. So algos on site like pronhub push it to the top. Terrence is just into incest.

I remember back in 2008 when gas prices spiked. There were people selling their Hummers at a $15k loss. People were buying Priuses and talking about "hypermiling" by going 10 under the speed limit. But now if think if gas hit $10 a gallon nothing would happen. We luv our SUVs

When you promise her a tour of Europe but you're broke.

we will never compete with china if our kids are educated "like hunter gatherers." Get Aiden outta the woods with his mushroom foraging and teach him algebra.

Agency > Intelligence I had this intuitively wrong for decades, I think due to a pervasive cultural veneration of intelligence, various entertainment/media, obsession with IQ etc. Agency is significantly more powerful and significantly more scarce. Are you hiring for agency? Are we educating for agency? Are you acting as if you had 10X agency? Grok explanation is ~close: “Agency, as a personality trait, refers to an individual's capacity to take initiative, make decisions, and exert control over their actions and environment. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive—someone with high agency doesn’t just let life happen to them; they shape it. Think of it as a blend of self-efficacy, determination, and a sense of ownership over one’s path. People with strong agency tend to set goals and pursue them with confidence, even in the face of obstacles. They’re the type to say, “I’ll figure it out,” and then actually do it. On the flip side, someone low in agency might feel more like a passenger in their own life, waiting for external forces—like luck, other people, or circumstances—to dictate what happens next. It’s not quite the same as assertiveness or ambition, though it can overlap. Agency is quieter, more internal—it’s the belief that you *can* act, paired with the will to follow through. Psychologists often tie it to concepts like locus of control: high-agency folks lean toward an internal locus, feeling they steer their fate, while low-agency folks might lean external, seeing life as something that happens *to* them.”

A map of population distribution in Europe (black = at least one inhabitant per square km) Always stuns me to see how empty swaths of Spain are!

Since no one can predict what the economy will be like in 5 years, there has never been a better time to do and study what you like. Taking Art and French might not get you a 200K office job, but studying "hard boring shit that makes you cry" might not either.

The Asians/Whites in America debate is a microcosm of the historical Asians/ (Western) Europeans debate on the global stage. The issues, patterns, critiques are identical & persistent through history Ppl need to read the Great Divergence debate/ differential psychology instead

It’s very simple: Raising TFR requires encouraging women to get married earlier. This remedy remains off-limits because it entails steering women away from higher education and careers, contrary to the doctrines of male-emulating shitlib feminism.

The difference is that for most people, I think it's in bad faith. I will give Lyman some credit that I think he's a pronatalist because he genuinely just wants more babies to be born, but for many people it's a convenient cover for their own obsession, even if it's 5% relevant.
