Natives are still being persecuted, its insane to think otherwise. If the Russians occupied New York somehow and invited Natives to come “share” Manhattan, heavily support them financially and with arms, and when Manhattanites inevitably resisted (as if Americans in any place would not LMAO), and then partition the Island into highly favourable…[Read more]

Wouldn’t be great if the USA became a nation of Islam. Hey, no more female university presidents to worry about. In fact, no internet forums either. The local Sharia magistrate will be watching you to make sure you don’t miss morning prayers as the megaphones blast out with cultural diversity. The great divide between Republicans and Democrats is…[Read more]

I find it such bullshit how people call themselves feminists and say care about women and then profess how Islam is just like any other system. Why lie? Because the people are brown and poor? That is racism. Honor killings, genital mutilation, polygamy, pedophilia and selling young girls into marriage, wrapping females in bags and treating them…[Read more]

Enco, you are wrong for two reasons:

1. Calling them “people of death” is a blanket attack on them. It is no different when people used to outrageously call Jews “money scroungers”. That isn’t directly calling an invidual a money scrounger, but the harm is still there (hence virulent voilence against Jews for most of European history). Calling…[Read more]

I have simply observed that in retrospect, for creation of Israel was probably one of the most monumental mistakes of modern times and any animus I have is directed at the Israeli government, not the citizens of Israel, though of course the actions of some don’t help (the “settlers,” for example).

You know this argument is ridiculous. Pakis…[Read more]

I would say, this is little different than blanket calling members of an entire religion “people of death”, something that still utterly turns my stomach, when I think about it. Both a resistance to calling out hate speech, as well as blanket maligning a whole people with villainous words…comes from the same dark, troubling and insid…

I would say any answer than “no” is ghastly. Calling for a genocide against a people (outside of some ill thought absurdity, bad humour or thought experiment) is inciting violence, hate speech and extremely dangerous. I am aghast at her answer. It is at the very least, in the grey zone of anti-semitism, if not symbolic of a lax attitude towards…[Read more]

I am already assuming that social media and political algorithms may ultimately destroy democracies just as the old- fashioned media propaganda did in the past. I am giving the US about a 50/50 chance. It is the nature of a democracy to be free to cancel itself should her citizens fail.

Well, here your proof Americans have regressed mentally, LOL

Robert, Well, if IQ is not an objective measure of intelligence, as your previous article from Norway says, then how can we rightly say that high IQ equals intelligence or success?

If I asked my nieces and nephews who are at of average intelligence, at least to locate Chad on a globe, it would take them ten minutes. If I…

@ Robert More useful to success than IQ is at least a healthy dash of psychopathy, the tendency to use, exploit, and betray others to reach one’s goals.

Of course, but that could be seen as just another form of being smart and clever. IQ tests are fairly concentrated on recognizing patterns and remembering multiple facts long e…[Read more]

I doubt that intelligent people who have achieved success in life have the highest birth rates in a world with diminishing resources. Of course, you can also doubt that intelligence correlates with success, but that would just be just the sort of stupid woke shit that is running rampant on the…[Read more]

Nah, IQ’s have been falling for the first time in history, starting around 2,000. People don’t access information; they are force-fed garbage data by algorithms and are getting dumber by the year. As an engineering boss, I couldn’t believe the lack of basic knowledge exhibited by the…[Read more]

@Reg, I would say Trent Reznor/NIN is a big influence on my music writing and recording, as you may be able to tell. I write for my stepdaughter and lots of other local singers.

@ Reg and Robert “The Internet will bring us all together” is up there with “Computers will do away paper.” Anyone still cheerleading for AI or minimizing its potential negative impacts should be reminded of the unintended/unanticipated consequences of technology.
