In the adaptive environment, in high food abundance contexts, presumably the first group planned coordinated hunting expeditions and the second group hunted and partially domesticated the first group. traditionsofconflict.com/blo… Is a recent example.

It goes way beyond gender discourse, this is the whole engine of liberalism >identify a human relationship under tension >offer a commodified, legible, transactional version of that relationship to the weaker party >pay for it by coercing the more powerful party >win a client, neutralize a rival power structure

The Left is pushing for identification to use the internet while pushing for no identification to vote. Think about that.

You are allowed to stop pretending fake shit is real. In fact, you have a moral and epistemic duty to stop doing so.

It actually is how the Salish do it in Canada. @MeaghieC
A Canadian court ruled that part of Vancouver still belonged to the Squamish. The Canadian government settled with the tribe by giving them 10 acres that used to belong to a branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The Squamish are now building high-rises in their village, which is called Senakw, putting the rest of the city to shame. Vancouver is mostly single family housing. The new buildings tower over their neighbors. A Vancouver city councilman complains that the high-rises don't reflect “an Indigenous way of building.” But there's nothing they can do. Not the biggest indigenous rights advocate, but we need to give the Indians everything if this is what they'll do with the land.

At this point, Britain is basically just a totalitarian police state.
This police bodycam video was banned within 24 hours after mass reporting by police. It shows police trying to beat a man to death in the back of their van after a speech-crime allegation. It was posted under @elon's repeated calls to release the Henry Nowak bodycam footage.

It’s impressive how much passion and independence of thought Mark Nowak showed if RICU were leaning on him to parrot the “don’t stir up division” line. Henry’s father attacked two-tier policing. His son got “humiliating and degrading treatment”. His killer, Digwa, was “respected and believed”. “The contrast is unbearable”. Mr Nowak spoke brilliantly for his boy and no secret censorship unit could stop him. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥❤️
🚨BREAKING: A government insider has told the Daily Mail that the government propaganda unit (Research, Information and Communications Unit) had threatened the family Henry Nowak after he was murdered by Vickrum Digwa to maintain pro-multiculturalism messaging. "RICU made sure that the liaison team dealing with the family were well briefed." This was obvious considering how every single Labour/Lib Dem MP and liberal media figure came out to parrot the line "why don't you care about the family's wishes, Mr Farage?" "They are working with the Police Service of Northern Ireland's C3 intelligence unit to identify those posting the online 'calls to protest' in Belfast and other areas, as well as giving strategic messages to the police to ensure that the protesters were portrayed as unsympathetic thugs, rather than activists, and effecting behavioural change."

If we turned off all Federal and State government handout programs for 1yr we could each pocket $15,000. 15k. Not bad. Best part? We can do it next year too.
If we liquidated Elon Musk as a financial entity we could each pocket $3,000. Just putting that out there. 3K. Not bad.

💥NEW: Jillian Michaels: “What I find so funny is that Obama — who shamed all of the black men for not voting for Harris — then went to fricking Virginia and campaigned AGAINST the black woman who’s a Marine … FOR a WHITE liberal who worked for the CIA.”

France is so far gone down the gender hole. In these guidelines, a government agency describes a scenario in which a man pretending to be a woman goes to the doctor pretending to have premenstrual symptoms. The doctor refuses to believe him, so the imaginary troon is advised to report the doctor and get him or her sanctioned. dilcrah.gouv.fr/files/2026-0…

Cette vidéo est un véritable cauchemar éveillé pour l'écologiste décroissant. Un robot qui traque la nuit les pathogènes et les nuisibles à la lumière ultraviolette, sans un gramme de produit chimique, ce n'est pas un gadget... De quoi faire s'effondrer toute la théologie écologiste. Ici, c'est bien l'entrepreneur et le marché qui offrent une solution réellement efficace aux défis environnementaux. Pas de contrainte, pas de retour en arrière et pas de renoncement. L'entrepreneur résout le problème en créant de l'abondance là où l'on nous promettait la pénurie. Le rôle du progrès a toujours été celui-là : produire de l'abondance à partir de la rareté naturelle avec comme moyen ultime l'ingéniosité humaine. Reste alors une question : si la technologie résout réellement les problèmes que l'écologisme prétend combattre, pourquoi l'écologisme la déteste-t-il à ce point ? Tout simplement parce que ce qu'il veut, ce n'est pas une nature préservée, c'est une société administrée, dont il serait aux manettes. Comme toutes les autres idéologies constructivistes, socialistes et collectivistes, ce qui importe vraiment à l'écologiste ce n'est pas de résoudre les défis de son temps, c'est de régner sur les hommes de son temps. Le héros sera toujours l'entrepreneur, jamais celui qui le déteste.

No, it’s not “Pride Month.” Not for me, and not for millions of others. You’re welcome to be proud of whatever you want, in any month you like—because this is America. But what started in 1969 as a rebellion against persecution, morphed into a license for public depravity, and then morphed again into a weapon aimed at families and innocent children. Along the way it went from a day, to a week, and then a month and became official, and thereby effectively mandatory for all. Enough! If you’re gay and wondering why you are facing resistance now, the answer is that, with few exceptions, most of you didn’t stand up against the expansion and weaponization of “pride,” and the coercion that went with it. In that failure to resist, the gay community compromised any expectation that the rest of us should support “pride” at all, but especially the obscene display of hostility toward civilization and the families of which it is built, and for whom it exists. If your hackles are raised by the idea that civilization is about families, realize that families are how civilizations persist through time. Not everyone needs to form one, but we all must respect and protect them—It is the foundation of what it means to be civilized. For the small fraction of gays and lesbians who DID courageously stand up and resist expansion, coercion and the weaponization of “Pride,” I stand with you, and I have all along. But I won’t be celebrating, and I won’t be silent. It’s not too late to join the voices of reason and to confront the insanity of what “pride” has become.

UK police are now lashing out against indigenous British people, with videos showing officers assaulting already-detained British men and manhandling five-year-old children in ways they never treat foreigners.

This kind of technology is what will separate “environmentalists” into people who actually care about the wellbeing of the Earth vs. people who just want to see human endeavors fail

By default, way beyond DaVinci, Fulton & Edison (without Morgan), comparable to Pasteur and Jobs. Way behind Gutenberg. If SpaceX succeeds way beyond anyone but Gutenberg and solidly ahead of him.
History will remember Elon Musk alongside DaVinci, Gutenberg, Fulton, Pasteur, Edison, Ford and Jobs. History will have no recollection of any kind of Ro Khanna.

Replying to @MorlockP
The op here is the insistence on construing demands for meaning or recognition (the literal "words have meanings" level expectation of accountability) as ego claims, and then sneering at the inappropriate ego claims.

The fact that they’re all women is expected and matters but is also like the 4th most salient shared trait among these reviewers. People outside legacy publishing just have no idea how insular and narrow the pool of people it draws from has become.
Amazon has come out with its list of the best books of 2026 "so far". The editors who made the picks are ... you guessed it: all women. amazon.com/Best-Books-of-202…

I don't think anybody really grasps how desperate this situation is. University professors are now saying they are unable to teach history because reading long books and passages is how a person learns history. College kids are incapable of reading more than a few pages. Some classes don't assign any reading at all now, only lectures. There is an assumption among the people managing this decline that reading is just a way of receiving information. It isn't. Proper reading is how we build the mental muscle to synthesize ideas and evaluate them. If the catastrophic decline in reading and literacy is not addressed now, we risk losing everything. Western civilization cannot survive the death of reading because it was built by people with the kind of cognitive depth that a culture of deep reading brings: Complex reasoning, extended internal dialogue, the capacity to hold opposing ideas in tension. Our systems and institutions are complex, and they require well ordered minds to maintain them. Reading forms minds, and the West was built by the richest minds in history.
Elite university students are now incapable of reading a book. Instead of fixing this, universities are simply reducing reading requirements to shorter and shorter excerpts. This is no mere literacy crisis. It is a civilizational one. To fight back, we started an online book club to study the great texts of Western Civilization — if the schools and universities won't teach the great books, we must form reading groups to study them ourselves. Every month, we read a new great work. We've covered texts like Augustine's Confessions, Dante's Inferno, The Count of Monte Cristo, Don Quixote. We're now reading Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics. We must study the ideas upon which the West was built if we are to preserve it. It takes effort to read these texts, and even more to read them well. Thats what we're doing, slowly, in dialogue with each other. If you'd like to be part of this, please join our reading group and consider a paid subscription. It makes a HUGE difference to the time and resources we can dedicate to this project. We are entirely funded by our members. You'll get: - Live book club discussions (biweekly) - Access to our incredible community chat - Essays to guide you through the Great Books - All past recordings, essays, and podcasts - Ability to vote on what we read next athenaeumbooks.com/welcome Welcome!
