@MetaPrime001 Weird thread to read. My experience with Heathens has never been like those commenters. Kudos for trying, but most influencers have too much incentive to keep the ideological civil war going on this platform.

I am pretty amazed by the number of people in the comments who would rather fight their brothers than focus their energy towards our collective enemies or, at the very least, focus on creating positive things within their own communities

I have met people all across the movement, and no one, not even the most diehard pagans like this guy Everyone who is seriously involved in retaking our country and no just LARPing online understands this guy is at best trolling for engagement and at worst an op to divide

@MetaPrime001 Social media made "spreading awareness" feel like an actual accomplishment. Most are just dealing in the engagement economy for monetization Stop talking and start filing paperwork in your state to actually create a legal entity to provide the counterpoint.

More important than how you solve the problem is what problem you chose to solve Most of the grifters pretend they are doing a good job when they picked the wrong problem to work on in the first place We need people building from the ground up, not sowing division online

Pathfinders and airborne medics have jumped into Tristan da Cunha, the remotest inhabited island in the world, to treat a Briton with Hantavirus. The British territory has no airstrip. The closest Royal Navy ship was days away and oxygen supplies were critically low.

@MetaPrime001 I appreciate what you post. For several reasons I'm highly cynical of sincere online coordination, yet here I am for a few more days at least. When I think about the internet, I think about how a bad vine cannot produce good fruit.

"I talk a lot of shit, but I'm backing it all up." Confident competence and a will to act is the thing that is most unattractive and off-putting to the weak amongst us. Men, stop making yourselves small for the emotional security of those weasels who wish to rule over you.

Men of action will always be hated by men of “intelligence.” That hatred deepens when a man has both. He leaves them no refuge in theory, no comfort in critique, and no illusion of superiority. Those who won’t act learn to tear down those who do. And the world ONLY moves with those who move it.

@LukeWeinhagen @askmomaitv Standards are what killed the current education system. Teach people how to master written language, and teach people the relationship between numbers-whatever that means in your community. Anything else is credentialism, not education.

I’ll never understand the certainty of people that think things only partway through. In this example: She’s certain the government’s system for education is so superior it can effectively evaluate how private citizens approach education. In this case, everywhere students are failing the government must be choosing to not apply its own superior system, the one it knows works for all students or it couldn’t be used to assess yours, for those failing students for some reason. How could you ever trust a system that makes this choice to evaluate parents? Alternatively, it’s not a superior system. It doesn’t work for all students. And the people in control of it are not very good at identifying these things. How could you trust a system with that level of demonstrated incompetence to evaluate parents? If you want government to be setting a standard, government ought to be producing such amazing results people are anxiously waiting for its involvement. But government never does produce these kinds of better-than-anything-else results, which is why it has to be forced on people.

Right, if homeschooling is actually super high quality, then homeschooling families should not object to being evaluated, tested, and checked-in-on to make sure their kids are actually learning.

@MetaPrime001 @AndyMasley "Why I think we have way too much farmland," is a phrase I'd ask my clients to slowly repeat out loud. I can't read your blog because the lede is profoundly absurd. If this is parody, well done.

@DBZYuYuYasha @xwanyex This sums up a pretty decent point in worldview difference. Contemporary health markers for society, such as GDP, don't reflect what I value. Maybe so for you, but for my house, the consequences of multiculturalism are not worth the benefits.

@xwanyex The answer is that we don't accept your framing. Democrats want to grow the country. You, apparently, want to shrink the country. Everyone born here is an American. Any consequences flowing from that are counter to the objective of growing the country.

@snowst0rk @gran1te_mtn I feel this in my soul. It's why I've chosen to act. It doesn't have to be violent. Pray earnestly and you'll know what to do. It's not happening on social media, but it is happening.

You know exactly what he means. None of these things is literally gone, but they used to be automatic, easily accessible parts of working-class life. Now they take a lot of intentionality, planning, and money. You basically have to buy your way into the right kind of neighborhood where this stuff still happens in a way that feels organic (and yes, those zip codes are often quite liberal). Baseball fields are often fenced off now and unmanaged open space like you see in the film is also kind of off-limits, with people worrying about liability or squatters. Public pools where I live are pretty expensive, and there are a lot of people there who don’t really share the culture of the boys in the film. There are member-only pools in my area too but they're very expensive and overcrowded. The last county fair I went to felt like a Gathering of the Juggalos with even more Mexicans. Lemonade was $10 a cup, and the whole thing was run by some corporation that does these across the country using H-2B visa labor. Block parties happen in places with social and communal capital, which is hard to build when every other household is ESL and only 1 in 5 households has kids. They’re also a lot less likely when most households don’t have a stay-at-home spouse with the time and energy to organize things. I actually watched The Sandlot recently with my kids, and one of them said, “Dad, it would be so cool if I had a bunch of friends who lived on our street and I could do stuff like this.” That hit me hard, because I had that growing up and my parents didn’t have to engineer it. It was just the default. My childhood neighborhood just had like 30 boys my age within walking distance. To live somewhere that even loosely resembles the lifestyle in The Sandlot now, you probably need to make 3–4x the median household income. Meanwhile, the people in the film, and real people from the 50s through the 90s, were doing it on below-median incomes. Some of these things are the result of people just making choices, and there isn't much we can do about that, but a lot of it is directly related to economic and immigration policies. You probably like a lot of those policies but don't pretend they didn't make life as depicted in The Sandlot more difficult.

@Airte747 @Hitchslap1 @elonmusk Grok is programmed to agree with you; just like every other LLM. IQ and intelligence are real traits that persist across developmental stages universally. It's painfully obvious for anyone who has actual formal education in the field. You're welcome.

The dangerous notion that all people are interchangeable stems from the blank slate myth. Excellent IQ post, Penny. Great work.

Penny2x@imPenny2x

The past year or so I have been fascinated with IQ and the data / discussion surrounding it. Sufficiently obsessed so that I bring it up in conversation opportunistically. Believe it or not, I’m convinced a deep unfiltered discussion of IQ and what we can learn from it is at the heart of what is needed to continue healing from the woke mind virus. Entirely too many broken mindsets and policies orbit the idea that all people are essentially interchangeable and that culture, education, and nutrition are more influential than genetics. This is obviously untrue to anyone who bothers to think for a few seconds. As an extreme example, the most well fed human on earth will never ever grow to the size of a blue whale. Similarly, the most well fed and educated blue whale will never win the Boston marathon. Our human genes have an upper bound to the size we can grow, and blue whales have their own limitations. These are silly and obvious and indisputable because they are easily measured and without exception. They are also entirely uncontroversial because they are cross species. To discuss and understand IQ in depth requires you to accept that human sexes and races also have measurable differences. This is a far more dangerous discussion, figuratively but perhaps also literally. There are many exceptions, but they don’t change the rule. I was talking to a psychologist about the topic. They considered themselves an IQ expert, and so I knew the conversation was going to get interesting quick one way or another. Unfortunately I wasn’t surprised to hear them immediately make a point that the test is biased against certain cultures. It’s always that, or the uninformed argument that IQ only measures one type of intelligence… She pointed out California case Larry P. v. Riles (1979) which prohibits testing African American students in CA for the purposes of special education placement. I started to push back, asking to clarify how that was proof the test was bias. Their response was to insult my own intelligence. To assume I have no idea what test norms are or how they are created and applied. I tried to respond to that, but they were already upset and made it clear they were finished with our talk. Look, I get it. It’s not fun or convenient to admit that much of our success or failure is fate sealed in our genetics. But it’s critical in the face of a delusional population to start facing difficult truths instead of denying them. Else we end up with men playing women’s sports and entering their locker rooms.
