The god of deer offers a different gospel than the god of wolves. Yet God is father to both deer and wolf.

How does *what women want* differ from *what women need*? What's the component missing from modern romance? For your consideration: Vestigial Baculum, a short fiction
My short fiction is up on Substack. Do you have the attention span for ~6000 words? If so, please give it a read.

SpaceX is not worth trillions in conventional investment terms. Likewise, LLMs can not be realistically expected to generate cash flows to their developers which will ever justify the CapEx being presently poured into them. "Space" as a whole might one day hundreds of billions or trillions in profits, but it is unlikely SpaceX will remain a commercial space monopoly if that happens. Likewise "AI" as a whole may one day generate those kinds of profits, but it is unlikely the current players will be able to hold that market captive based on the models they are building today. There's a global capital glut and these are the sectors promising to open new frontiers of productivity. They are holes in the "everything bubble", so of course they see rapid and aggressive flows of capital seeking to escape the limits of finite real economy growth. Capital is following stories of escape because realistic investment opportunities are far smaller than the accumulated expectations of compounding gains. SpaceX has both a space story and an AI story and so Elon gets to play with some supermassive flows of excess capital.
Can someone explain why SpaceX is worth that much without saying "The vibes say it is."

Social Security is actual evil. Any program which replaces dependence on family and faith community with dependence on universal institutions is in the long run genocidal. Not only is it correct to dissolve SS, Medicare, Medicaid, etc., it is moral to inflict actual harm on those who have advocated it.
Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500. If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

It’s very important we return to a more traditional morality. Not me, personally, because I’m very sophisticated and kind of beyond such things. But you, it is important for you to obey

What I like about feudalism is that it just happened. Every other system had some jackoff sit around and imagine it like Star Wars and make blowhard arguments. There wasn’t any international conferences There’s no book like “Towards a Society without bandits killing me”

It makes sense The Troubles led to the only concentration of ethnically white veteran insurgents anywhere in the world. If this pans out, we'll have to hear about how "The Irish saved civilization" for another thousand years...
The OpSec shown in Belfast is next level. No faces recorded, no inchorent rage but lots of directed rage. No broadcasting organisation, but it was very evident. This tradecraft will spread across Britain. Establishment nightmare.

There are two ways to get rid of "refugees". NH HB 1706 is the easy way.

People today at least pretend to believe the absurd rules that condoms-for-blowjobs neurotics have tried to insist on for decades - that dating women younger and more submissive than you is "pedophilia," etc. This is what banal evil actually looks like in practice: policy changes ("Wear a mask everywhere") that may be difficult to counter in made-up "moral" terms, but will clearly destroy functional systems if adopted. It IS worth remembering that you can stop being ruled by defenseless prey people at any time: just reverse the whip and start telling them what to do.
As with many things, dating co-workers has been formally discouraged for quite a long time. But no one used to pay any attention to all that, it was a joke. Somewhere along the way the rule was actually internalized and taken seriously.

This is what attraction is This single factor is responsible for over 90% of human children born in the last 300 years If we pretend this isn’t related to attraction we have no way to explain how the human race still exists
Your coworker is not attractive, they are just within 10 feet of you 40 hrs/week

It’s deeply odd to me that America is a far less 24/7 hour society today than it was 10, 20, or even 30 years ago. I vividly remember friends from the UK back in 1996 marveling at the fact that in the mid-sized Indiana town where I went college it was possible to buy groceries, clothing, a lawn mower, a snow blower, Lego sets, and bow hunting gear at 3 AM on any given Tuesday of the year. That was peak American Empire, and it’s long gone.
When Walmart never went back to 24 hours nation wide after Covid I knew that was the end of America.

I do have real beliefs and convictions. I sincerely and unironically believe in eugenics. I will say that with my full chest. Wokeness is clearly downstream of Christian morality. A sort of secular heresy we might call. The extreme versions of wokeness that valorize weakness and inability have long been noted to be linked to Christian values, it is not an original observation. Which is not to say that all Christians are like this.

My sister lives in California. Yesterday, after playing with some random kids on a playground, her son demanded to know why she'd never told him boys could be princesses. Here in New Hampshire, after playing with random kids on a playground, my son demanded to know why I had never told him about Gumby. We know what's wrong with CA, but wth is happening here? Is Gumby making a comeback? Should I have been prepared to talk to my kids about Gumby?

Homosexuals, Jews, and women can all be delightful on an individual level. Just don't put them in power.
homosexuals are kind of like jews in that there are some tremendously talented ones that benefit society, but giving them much say over social norms is probably a mistake
