I like to say things like ‘when I become the ruler of the Universe’…but, really, if I ever became that, I would pluck Thomas Sowell out and make him do the actual ruler. Because he is that awesome.
I would place Thomas Sowell along with Socrates, Thomas Aquinas, Richard Feynman, Thomas Payne and, well, all the giants that advanced humanity. The only difference between him and them is that he is still alive, able to share his wisdom with us.
Mark Steyn’s struggles run well over a decade long and have been well covered on this blog. Now, we have an update – of sorts.
Mark Steyn is a Canadian journalist who is very intelligent, charismatic as well as eloquent.
And, deliciously sarcastic.
He got himself into trouble by criticizing ‘The Mann’ himself, an extremely litigious individual who is the author of the now long-debunked by (in 2004/2005 by McIntyre and McKitrick, if memory serves me correctly) ‘Hockey Stick Hoax’ that would turn any data entered into an ‘a Hockey Stick’ graph of ‘catastrophic climate change’ and that is still the basis of the current de-carbonization conspiracy that enriches many large businesses while lowering the living standards of human beings.
Twelve or so years in to the litigation (a punishment in itself), in the highly politicized D.C. area of Columbia in the USA (where the jury is suspected of being not exactly impartial), Mark Steyn was found to have caused $1.00 of actual damages to Dr. Mann – and then ordered to pay him $1,000,000.00 plus court costs anyways.
Well, here is an update to the story: not a win as such, but, perhaps a glimmer of a light.
Of course, not before the process caused Mark multiple heart attacks.
Mark Steyn is not the Only Canadian Michael Mann had sued, leading to him earning the colloquial term ‘Canuckaphobic’ up here in my neck of woods.
At least one of the subjects of his lawsuits, also a Canadian (Dr. Tim Ball), had been sued almost literally to death by Michael Mann. Let’s hope there is hope for Mark Steyn and for the future!
In the mean time, I present you with a musical classic: Hide the Decline!
Please, prove me wrong.
There is a lot to unpack with President Donald Trump. Some of it is good and some of it is bad. No, I am not fence-sitting, I am being realistic.
Mercantilism is a better economic model than what Biden’s administration put forth, but, it is seriously inferior to Austrian Economics – even opposed to them at times.
Heck, there is even a really good conspiracy theory (that will never be proven or disproven, because the surrounding data had been systematically destroyed for political reasons, which may or may not have anything to do with theories of economy) that the Austro-Hungarian Prince had been assassinated (leading to Franz Josef being the successor to the crown) precisely because he was a proponent of the Austrian model of economics (think Von Mises) and was planning to put these principles into play upon his rising to the throne.
Yeah, a while ago.
But, this is a valid direction to ruminate in, as Mercantilism was most alive just before then, and was being uprooted by ‘the Austrian School of economics’.
Rooting out inefficiencies and underhanded ways that taxpayer money has been handed over to partisan actors – that is a good thing.
But, the mercantilist mindset is a bitter pill to swallow – if you want to support President Trump.
The most (sadly) interesting thing – from a disinterested 5,000m perspective – is that President Trump’s political opponents are not attacking him on the things that they should: they are being petty and short-sighted, without laying out a reasoned opposition to his mercantilism. It is as if they are working from ignorance, not knowledge.
And that is sad, very sad.
Yes, this site has been dormant for way too long.
This is because I have been very busy with working to achieve the goals promoted by this site from its inception through alternate means. And, I have been doing some serious ‘growing up’ in the process. But more on that later…
Today, I came across a post on reddit that I found most illuminating. However, between when I first clicked on it and the time I was ready to comment on it, it had been censored.
Deleted.
Disappeared.
Gone down the ‘memory hole’…
Whatever the metaphor, it was made gone – as if the book-burners had had their way with it.
And so, my friends, with the permission of the author (a redditor by the name of ‘istillgetreallybored’), I bring you the banished, censored and book-burned post:
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (this reee is dedicated in part to the cucked pedes who think they are alpha just because they voted for Trump)
They have to go back. Trump has reduced ISIS from 35k to 1k and the migrant crisis was a fraud to instigate a replacement program to further economic marxism as a means to controlling humans. We should have been helping (not causing the crisis would have been best) them in their country of origin which would have resulted in 100 fold cost savings and prevented this assimilation issue.
Islam does not recognize borders. Wake up.

“How does Hanafi law characterize jihad? Hanafi law recognizes a series of primary rules (hukm taklifi268) that create obligations that impose duties. These primary rules (hukm taklifi) are based on a series of rights. Hanafi law recognizes three basic sets of rights and a fourth composite set: the rights of Allah, the rights of the individual, and the rights of individuals collectively (or of the state), and a fourth composite set of rights of Allah lying side by side with the individual – with the two cases of predominance of one or the other. From a hierarchical perspective, the rights of Allah (haqq Allah) take primacy of position.2″Pg140
The heart-war —- and that is the lowest form of the war. And it is that the Muslim should believe in his heart that the infidels are enemies to him and to his religion, and that he should desire their disappearance and the destruction of their power. And no Muslim can be imagined who is not under obligation to this degree of the war. Verily all the people of the Faith are under obligation to this amount without any question whatever, in whatever place they may be and in whatsoever condition they may be found. And that those concerning whom the exception made in the verse presented in the saying of the Most High holds good (You should abstain from them completely) to these it is permitted that they should be satisfied with this degree of the heart-war.3

Inbreeding depression
Inbreeding depression in Delphinium nelsonii. A. Overall fitness of progeny cohorts and the B.progeny lifespan were all lower when progeny were the result of crosses with pollen taken close to a receptor plant.
Inbreeding depression is the reduced biological fitness in a given population as a result of inbreeding, or breeding of related individuals. Population biological fitness refers to an organism’s ability to survive and perpetuate its genetic material. Inbreeding depression is often the result of a population bottleneck. In general, the higher the genetic variation or gene pool within a breeding population, the less likely it is to suffer from inbreeding depression.
Inbreeding depression seems to be present in most groups of organisms, but varies across mating systems. Hermaphroditic species often exhibit lower degrees of inbreeding depression than outcrossing species, as repeated generations of selfing is thought to purge deleterious alleles from populations. For example, the outcrossing nematode (roundworm) Caenorhabditis remanei has been demonstrated to suffer severely from inbreeding depression, unlike its hermaphroditic relative C. elegans, which experiences outbreeding depression.

Act! For Canada’s Ottawa chapter brought the iconic Dr. Jordan Peterson to speak at the main branch of the Ottawa Library.
And, luckily, we got Mrs. Tammy Peterson (a powerful intellect and personality in her own right) to give us a glimpse into how their lives have been altered since Dr. Peterson’s pro-free-speech rant went viral in 2016:
Q&A videos to come as they are published.
For the record: Dr. Peterson WILL go down in the history books as THE Socrates/Aristotle/St. Thomas of Aquinas/Jan Hus/Gogol/Jung/Nietzsche+++ of our era – all rolled into one.
Just saying…
…but history will prove me right.
He will have turned out to be THE most influential thinker of our era. That much I am certain about.
