• Female FDNY recruit fails running test five times, but graduates anyway.
  Political correctness necessarily means quotas and protected groups, and the corrupt elite bureaucracy to enforce it. Nature isn't equal because it can't be or it would experience much vaster entropy.
• How Quantum Mechanics Derives from a Revolutionary New Theory of Information.
  Western science discovers what the ancients knew: the universe operates more like information than matter.
• Why American Compassion Won't Save the World.
  Compassion is something individuals feel, not groups. Our aid projects are basically for the sake of appearing compassionate so we gain trust from others and can sell them stuff.
• In your 20s? Not married with babies? Then you're winning.
  The "wisdom" of moderns: do it all for yourself, and ignore anything outside of the self that might give you actual meaning instead of masturbatory self-gratification.
• This is a fleshy, naked emergency – pop stars are too sexy for our kids.
  Pop stars using sex to sell mediocre music in turn sexualize our kids and make them zombie whores. That's the profit model: cheap to produce, cheap to promote, and expensive. Stop letting your kids watch TV or buy mainstream music.
• Office Insanity (from Samsara 2011).
  The tedium of modern life and jobs is excruciating and drives people to self-destruction.
• ObamaCare blame game as insurers dump doctors.
  Leftist programs impose demands in denial of reality, then must deny it as results are mediocre.
• The Marxist Roots of Feminism.
  Feminism, like gay rights and civil rights, is an anti-majoritarian movement based in individual exceptionalism as a reason for equality and to destroy common standards, values and norms. Etymologically, this makes it a form of Marxism that uses our good intentions -- be nice to women, don't be racially cruel, etc. -- to advance its own agenda.
• Why I hate being a black man.
  Diversity causes non-majority groups to hate themselves as much as majority groups do. No one wins.
• Where do all the angry white men come from?
  Men have been stripped free from the benefits of their role, and are stuck with the bill, in the name of forcing equality.
• How the World Shrugged Off Kristallnacht.
  The solution to our problems may be ethnic-cultural separation, but it isn't pogroms.
• Doctors Say Venezuela’s Health Care in Collapse.
  21st century socialism is failing just like the French Revolution, democracy of Athens, all liberalism ever tried.
• Obama Is The Ultimate Affirmative Action Case.
  Obama is the ultimate affirmative action case, elected for being an African-American pet of white liberals.
• Tomorrow is Remembrance Day.
  "We will remember them."
• The Western Condescension of Hinduism.
  Liberalism and consumerism are a form of condescension that productizes, absorbs and normalizes all it can grasp.
• The Challenge of Defending the Normal.
  Defending the normal majority is difficult in the face of polarized "reformers." For them, it's a jihad/crusade toward change. For us, it's a way of life we're trying to keep from being dissolved.
• Evola on the Purification of the Word.
  Traditional wisdom includes purification of our conceptual space so it is realistic.
• Venezuela's government seizes shops.
  Leftist revolutions are all the same. Declare equality, notice it isn't so. Seize the best to raise the rest.
• CNN Throws In the Towel; Moves Away from News.
  CNN preached liberal propaganda for years and has ruined its good name, now exits stage left.
• Right Wing’s Surge in Europe Has the Establishment Rattled.
  Even New York Times can no longer dismiss Europe's surge in nationalism as "racism." The tide changes. Thus liberalism goes into its final leftist-reactionary phase in which popular opinion is bad and must be vigorously controlled, usually by Soviet-style methods.
• It’s not racist to seek an ‘exit’.
  It's not racist for white people to seek secession from the cosmopolitan liberal state. It represents none of our interests and nothing but further parasitism from us, with guilt as a weapon, while in the meantime making minorities and majority alike miserable as society tears itself apart from within.
• Report shows extent to which social background matters for academic success.
  Subsidizing poor kids to do as well as rich kids doesn't have any significant effect.
• U.S. Private Colleges Face Enrollment Decline.
  College became a product, which devalued it, and so now it's in decline. The real culprit is high school, which no longer teaches nor signifies anything, even with high grades.
• Jerry Brown says poverty, joblessness due to California being 'a magnet'.
  Democrat suggests that poor people show up wherever there's money and that this immigration produces inequality.
