All the best women you'll ever meet have very few if any friends, because they don't conform, don't trust women, and despite envying men's friendships, do not befriend men to avoid sexual tension. So if she's lucky enough to have a true friend, it'll be a rare woman like her.

Buried lede:
Decades of emphasizing cultivating a “love of reading” has resulted in girls reading mostly absolute garbage and boys not hardly reading at all.

The rates of female genital mutilation in Somalia is close to 100%.
People don't understand how horrible this mutilation is. Here is a detailed description below.
If a single White person did this to their daughter, this would be a huge story, and that person would be renowned throughout the world as an insane monster.
But it's not White people who do this. Instead its Somalis — many of whom we allow to immigrate into our countries. We should not have mass immigration of such people into our countries.

Why are so many woke leftists bad at understanding others? Brain science may have the answer.”
Psychiatrist Iain McGilchrist argues that the left hemisphere of the brain is literal-minded and poor at “theory of mind” — the ability to truly grasp what someone else is thinking, especially when irony, humor, or metaphor is involved.
Iain McGilchrist argues that the left hemisphere of the brain is literal-minded and poor at “theory of mind” — the ability to truly grasp what someone else is thinking, especially when irony, humor, or metaphor is involved.
He believes modern culture — and particularly the rigid, black-and-white thinking common in today’s culture wars and leftist discourse — has become overly dominated by left-hemisphere processing. The result? Humor is dying, jokes are taken literally, nuance disappears, and genuine empathy becomes rare.
McGilchrist sees this as a civilizational shift: we’ve lost the right-hemisphere’s broader, contextual understanding in favor of simplistic, contradiction-free slogans.
It’s a provocative neurological explanation for why so much modern political conversation feels so disconnected and humorless.
Do you see this literal-mindedness more on the political left, or is it happening across the spectrum?

Many professors and pundits want to quash research on racial differences in intelligence because they suspect the cause is substantially genetic and do not want the public to know. If they thought it was 100% environmental, they'd enthusiastically support the research.

@PelopeAl41549 Disgust is partially a fear response...
Which is entirely rational because what you're looking at is a mentally ill man with an out of control fetish who could absolutely harm you.

Every time I see a “trans man” I just kinda feel bad for them. Every time I see a “trans woman” I’m filled with an involuntary feeling of disgust. It actually needs to be studied why they’re so much more horrifying

A student today at my elite university admitted to me today that she took a class so she could work on reading for more than 20 minutes at a time. She can't read. She mainly skims and summarizes, she says and still gets A's.
This student is, by professional standards, illiterate. Gonna have high GPA when she graduates.
This conversation was had after 6 of 22 students dropped my course because the maximum reading per week in one week was over 100 pages.
What people aren't grasping is that this is literally *dangerous*. These people are going to be come doctors, engineers, etc. They are - by any metric - vastly less capable than prior generations. These effects are cumulative over a lifetime.
This grade inflation is part of the problem, but not even close to the entirety. And the problem obviously starts in K-12.
Students don't know history because, you can't actually become historically literate on the advice of 'never assign more than 30 pages a week'. You can't develop any of the skills that came with literacy. This is, quite honestly, a civilizational catastrophe.

Just watched Louis Theroux’s doc about the manosphere, and I think you can draw a pretty straight line from “any display of male libido has been punished for the past decade” to “the only remaining visible masculine role models for many young men are actual misogynist dickbags.”

The guy just landed a spacecraft on a comet — one of the most impressive scientific achievements in years. His reward? A public struggle session because his bowling shirt had scantily clad women on it. Helen Andrews points out the quiet cost of institutional feminization: HR departments now hunt down any maverick personality and stamp it out. We’re losing innovators we’ll never even know about, all because someone focused on the shirt instead of the comet. This is how wokeness actually works. Have you seen real excellence get punished for something trivial like this?

Western civilization is not declining. It is already dead. What you are living in is the corpse.
In 1918, a German philosopher studied every civilization that collapsed and found they all shared one trait in the final stage:
The population stops having children.
And it stops having children because it no longer sees the point.
His work was mocked, dismissed, and debated by 400 scholars. But he was right (thread) 🧵

@ma_gonzz @littleapostate My pediatrician office does this for ALL sick patients regardless of vaccine status. You wait in the car then go directly to a room. Honestly, it makes the most sense.

We gradually transitioned from a democratic welfare state to full-on race communism between the 1960s and today for two reasons:
1. The beneficiaries of our race laws went from 10 percent of the population to a majority in places like NYC and soon a majority nationally.
2. We bent a lot of rules to give black Americans a one-time boost thinking they’d catch up. That didn’t happen, so now the choice is either go back to colorblindness and the rule of law anyway even though it means unequal outcomes, or let the government keep meddling more and more in the name of racial equity.

🚨 MAMDANI: “The wealth of a median white household in the city is more than $200,000, while that of a black household is less than $20,000 … We are reckoning with the long history of racism here and starting to act upon a framework that puts equity right at the center of it.”

Here’s Ben Stein in 1979 describing television as an engine of cultural demoralization. He argues that a small clique of producers and writers pushed a left-coded inversion of reality onto the public. They despised traditional power centers and hated figures like Buckley. They propagandized the nation into accepting a fake world where businessmen are villains, criminals are the good-guys, small towns are sinister, military officers are proto-fascists, and work barely exists.
Yuri Bezmenov's Ghost@Ne_pas_couvrir
In the 1970s Ben Stein interviewed major TV producers/writers to ask why their portrayal of US culture was so distorted. Businessmen were evil. Real life crime was always depicted inaccurately, favoring instead the Marxist narratives on race, class, and culture of the new left.
