It’s actually quite healthy to routinely reflect on the fragility of your own mortality. Put your self into the perspective that actually matters. We have roughly 4,000 weeks on this earth if we’re lucky. Work for your future self. Appreciate each day like it’s your last.

A disgruntled comment on YouTube under my latest talk, during which I said very plainly that transgender children do not exist, contained this supposed gotcha: "The idea that transgender children do not exist flies in the face of reality, since we know that transgender adults do exist. How do we then explain their existence?" Simple. Transgender adults don't exist either. At least not in the sense that would require the existence of transgender children. There are many adults alive today who make sense of their lives through the political label of transgender. They may be autogynephilic men aroused by the fantasy of being women, who prefer the label transgender because it allows them to hide their erotic motivations. They may be transvestites, aroused simply by wearing women's clothing. They may be extremely gender-nonconforming homosexuals who medicalise as a way to blend in and be invisible. Or they may fall into that broad category who adopt the currently fashionable label of trans because it makes sense of their struggles and offers them a medical solution. Clearly, not one of those categories could ever be applied to children. The reply actually makes clear the danger of pretending that trans is a healthy, innate variation of human existence rather than rooted in paraphilic desires and mental disorder. So I stand by my statement: There is no such thing as a transgender child. I will die on this hill.

@SwipeWright @christopherrufo Many people I knew in the SF homeless shelter system didn’t get these destructive surgeries because they couldn’t afford them themselves, and the state didn’t pay for it like it does now. There are no more barriers between being confused about yourself and lifelong mutilation.

Sure, California is losing billions of dollars a year to fraud, but have you considered that they’re also spending untold sums on worthy causes, like sex-change operations for our homeless undocumented transgender neighbors?

@BillyM2k 💯 It’s not about what you get at the end. It’s about how the journey shapes the person you become

“MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+” The Canadian government just dropped this absolute monstrosity (and no, it isn’t satire).

@SwipeWright Falsifiability. That’s what it comes down to. If you seek it, you can catch the winds of the scientific method. Sailing closer to reality. If you avoid it, you will be inevitably pulled by the manipulative currents of ideology. Further losing your bearings.

Really, the only rebuttal needed to dismiss the "everything is socially constructed" view is to invite the person saying that to jump off a 10-story building and start flapping. No matter your culture, positionality, or upbringing, the result will be the same.

I totally reject the notion that Mahr's response to my paper represents a legitimate, equal alternative to my view that many aspects of reality are mind-independent. We are not merely "talking past each other" from different epistemological starting points. Mahr's view is actually incoherent and at odds with everything we know about material reality. And the fact that I even have to respond to such thorough nonsense is truly shocking. These ideas have no place in academia because they have no guardrails whatsoever. There is no limiting principle or empirical anchor that makes them self-correcting over a long enough timescale like the sciences. This means that, over time, these fields actually get more, not less, disconnected from reality. And then they start infecting legitimate fields like biology and try to tear down legitimate knowledge. These fields rooted in Critical Theory are totally fraudulent. They have no place in academia and do not deserve to be supported with taxpayer dollars.

I often freeze w/ guilt when over-serious about wrong goals → self-sabotage. “I should only take truly important stuff seriously.” Result: take nothing seriously. Chasing wrong things hard at least kills the fake progress illusion & naturally pivots me to better ones.

@BillboardChris @hllfrezenovr I’ll happily testify that your content saved my mental healthy by finally presenting me with the questions that lead to my detransition. Because of your content I finally began to heal.

@elonmusk I took cross sex hormones for 18 years and had bottom surgery. At no point did my body reorganize itself around the opposite reproductive organs. Now I’m a dude who has to figure out how to live without his junk because of suicidal empathy. They prioritized my Instant relief.

Bless these girls for their courage and shame on every cowardly adult and every faux feminist who told them they should give up their own rights to pander to boys' feelings.

WOW WOW WOW WOW. One becomes two. Two become MANY! Bravery is contagious! The girls of Washington state have had enough. Look at this showing in Wenatchee tonight. Sign the @letsgowa initiatives and show these girls that sane adults have their back. 👊🏻

@peterboghossian The root of most of our misunderstandings go deep into epistemology itself. A lot of people don’t value logic, reason or consistency in the first place. How can ideas contest if the conflict is taking place on two different epistemological battle fields.

@ChrisWillx The more educated we are the easier it is to convince ourselves the means justifies the ends. Even being naturally intelligent is no prophylactic against believing crazy things. youtu.be/5Peima-Uw7w?si…

Educated people are more likely to support political violence. “Relative to Americans with a high school education, Americans with graduate degrees are twice as likely to support political violence. More education is associated with higher support for political violence.” — @robkhenderson
