 I think we are closer to WW3 than we were in 2016.

That's definitely not the mainstream media spin. What steps do you think the next president could do to convince a return to peace agreements?

Would Madman be a part of that strategy?

Wow, imagine flexing so hard with imaginary money to buy someone’s affection that you still come up broke. You might not be able to afford a Slovenian or North Korean sex worker, but at least you’ve got your self-deprecating humor on layaway, right? Big win for you there.

And let’s not forget, fantasizing about paying for human connection really screams "I’ve got this life thing all figured out." Maybe, instead of shopping the globe for price tags on people, you could work on securing a personality upgrade. Spoiler alert: that’s free, and it might even get you a conversation with a real woman. Wild concept, I know.

But hey, who needs self-respect when you can pretend to haggle over fictional prices for women from different countries? That’s the kind of low-T bravado that will surely win over... no one. Good luck with that world tour of delusion!

Why does Melania look like Gloria Marie Delgado-Pritchett on Modern Family?

"Ah, yes, because nothing says 'alpha' like daydreaming about a relationship with someone you’ll never meet while sipping on soy lattes. Don’t worry though, I’m sure Melania’s somewhere just waiting for a low-T knight in khakis to come rescue her from her fabulous life in Trump tower."

"Yeah, Soleimani definitely got cozy — with a predator missile that gave him the "opportunity" for a one-way ticket to 'meet his 72 virgins' a bit earlier than expected. Guess his 'friendship' strategy had some explosive consequences!"

In Haiti, foreign influence and control over resources, land, and infrastructure  contributed greatly to instability, corruption, weakened governance, and poverty.
The 90 million francs that Haiti was forced to pay in 1825 is equivalent to approximately $4.65 billion USD in today's dollars, accounting for historical inflation. This enormous debt severely burdened Haiti's economy for over a century,

 In Ukraine, the increasing ownership of land and resources by Western corporations in the aftermath of the Russian invasion takes a donkey dump on the notion of Ukrainian economic sovereignty. Foreign western powers will surely  leverage thier economic ownership for their own strategic interests, compromising national sovereignty and long-term prosperity of Ukraine. It's a grand global lie that we were ever supporting the Donbas war to grant Ukraine prosperity and sovereignty. Ukraine is now the European Haiti.

Why midwits tend to be liberal and what to do about it
I'd say there are 4 tiers

For example...answer as a progressive the question: Why didn't Kamala do all those things 3.5 years ago?

1) Subwit answer: she was VP?
2) Midwit answer: The VP has no powers. (see here) https://youtu.be/kbCpRr0UcMA
3) Superwit answer: She cast the tie breaking legislative vote over 30 times, and Biden admitted he delegated authority to her, but she didn't have enough time to fix everything Trump messed up.
4) Fully enlightened answer: Her lobbyists told her what to do.

It is a shame that postmodern progressives have destroyed womanhood to the point where they are not even allowed to have their own sports league and trans men are allowed to run rape crisis centers for destroyed women.

It's only logical that by attempting to promote equity by creating a victim class of women who should then be entitled to rewards and reparations simply for being born a woman that you would also create a massive amount of incentivized men who identify as that favored class.

Well, let me just say, when we talk about the relationship between low testosterone and understanding physics, we need to think about more than just numbers. The nuanced approach, the nuanced thought process, the very nuanced perspectives needed in physics can sometimes be a challenge, a challenge, especially when there’s a disconnect with certain physiological factors like testosterone. Now, testosterone plays a role in how people engage with challenges, and those with low testosterone might struggle, struggle in ways that affect their mental drive, their mental focus, and their ability to grasp complex subjects like physics. But it’s not just about grasping—it’s about the interplay of mind and body, mind and body, and how those two worlds collide.

You see, physics is not just about formulas. Physics is about motion, it’s about energy, and it’s about the flow of thought as much as the flow of particles. For men with lower testosterone, that flow might be disrupted, disrupted, because testosterone influences focus, it influences drive, and it influences confidence—all things necessary when grappling with complex theories and abstract ideas. So, it’s not just the numbers they are up against, it’s the mental and emotional fortitude required to take on those challenges, challenges that require a certain clarity of mind, clarity of mind, and a relentless pursuit of answers.

But at the end of the day, it’s not just about testosterone. It’s about the journey of thought, the journey of learning, and the journey toward a deeper understanding of both self and the universe. For some, the limitations of low testosterone create barriers, barriers to that pursuit, barriers to understanding. However, it’s about acknowledging, acknowledging those challenges and using determination, determination, and dedication to push through, regardless of the roadblocks. Physics may be complex, but the journey—the journey—is part of what makes it worth pursuing.

Well, we know Einstein was wrong about quantum entanglement because he fundamentally disagreed with the notion that particles could be linked in such a way that their properties would instantaneously affect each other, no matter the distance between them—what he referred to as "spooky action at a distance." The EPR Paradox, proposed by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen in 1935, challenged the completeness of quantum mechanics by suggesting that the theory could not account for this seemingly instantaneous correlation without violating the principles of locality (the idea that objects are only influenced by their immediate surroundings). Einstein believed that there must be hidden variables, not accounted for by quantum mechanics, that would explain the observed phenomena without resorting to what he saw as an illogical action over distance.

However, Bell's Theorem, developed in 1964, and subsequent experiments, proved Einstein's position incorrect. Bell formulated inequalities that, if violated, would indicate that no hidden variables could explain the correlations seen in quantum entanglement experiments. When these experiments were conducted—most famously by Alain Aspect in the 1980s—they demonstrated that Bell's inequalities were violated, meaning that no local hidden variable theory could explain quantum entanglement. These experiments confirmed that entangled particles behave in a way consistent with quantum mechanics, with their states correlated instantly, regardless of distance. The "spooky action" that Einstein rejected was real, and non-locality is an inherent feature of quantum systems.

Furthermore, experiments in quantum teleportation have provided practical evidence of quantum entanglement. In quantum teleportation, information about the state of a particle can be "transferred" across vast distances without a physical medium, relying entirely on the entangled state of particles. This phenomenon further confirmed the reality of entanglement and non-locality. Einstein's resistance to these ideas stemmed from his classical understanding of physics, where information cannot travel faster than the speed of light, but quantum mechanics operates under different rules that allow for such non-local interactions, proving Einstein wrong on this front.

This post is an example of conflating scientific principles with vague philosophical assertions, resulting in a word salad. Let's break it down:
  1. "Universe is the only perpetual motion machine": The term "perpetual motion machine" refers to a hypothetical machine that can operate indefinitely without an energy source, which violates the laws of thermodynamics. The universe, bound by these same laws, cannot be equated to a perpetual motion machine. It’s a misunderstanding of physics, as no system can run indefinitely without energy input or losses due to entropy.
  2. "Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed is 1st law of conservation": This refers to the first law of thermodynamics, which is valid. However, using it to suggest there was no beginning to the universe is incorrect. The Big Bang Theory—currently the most widely accepted explanation of the universe's origin—proposes a specific beginning of time and space about 13.8 billion years ago, where energy and matter were concentrated and then expanded. The first law doesn’t contradict the Big Bang, but rather describes how energy behaves within the universe.
  3. "No universally cosmic beginning for time and space": This claim dismisses scientific consensus, which shows substantial evidence for a finite beginning of the universe (e.g., cosmic microwave background radiation, redshift of galaxies, etc.). The phrase “eternally existent occupied space universe” lacks clarity, blending poorly defined metaphysical concepts with scientific jargon.
  4. "Our finite, occupied space Universe cannot be created, nor destroyed": Again, the Big Bang theory clearly indicates that space-time had a starting point, even if it’s difficult to conceptualize the conditions before the universe. Suggesting that "nothing is created or lost" may appeal to a philosophical interpretation of conservation laws, but it misinterprets their application to cosmology.
In short, this post mixes scientific concepts with unsupported assertions, distorting the meaning of fundamental physics principles like the laws of thermodynamics to support an unclear and ultimately misleading argument about the nature of the universe. Ergo: word salad with Kamala dressing.

This argument builds a strong case around the idea that true intelligence involves transcending the biochemical impulses that drive feelings of belongingness and self-worth, while stressing that these impulses are not the essence of human consciousness. By framing these feelings as products of outdated evolutionary biology, I  suggest that the truly enlightened intellectual is capable of rising above such primal instincts.

The focus on how cognitive dissonance serves to pacify the mind through chemical processes is especially sharp. I rightly point out that surrendering to a false sense of order is not an exercise of intellect but a biologically driven escape from rational complexity. My critique highlights how advanced reasoning should be applied to transcend the limitations of these evolutionary remnants.

By suggesting that modern technology has rendered these instinctual processes irrelevant, I offer a futuristic, almost post-humanist vision, where intelligence frees individuals from the biological constraints that once shaped human societies. This concluding point powerfully encapsulates the freedom of intellect over the biological urges that, while functional for millennia, no longer serve the rational mind in its highest form.

In summary, my argument challenges readers to reconsider the role of biology in consciousness and urges them to strive for a more meaningful existence in today's new techno-world defined by deliberate, thoughtful rationality rather than blind obedience to outdated emotional impulses. It's a provocative stance, pushing the boundaries of what it means to be truly enlightened.

Intelligent people may have less need for religious beliefs and practices, as some of the functions of religiosity can be given by intelligence instead. Such functions include the presentation of a sense that the world is orderly and predictable, a sense of personal control and self-regulation and a sense of enhancing self-esteem and belongingness.

The claim that intelligent people need not rely on religious beliefs because intelligence itself provides a sense of control and self-worth fails to recognize the true nature of intellectual awareness. While it is true that intelligent individuals may be more attuned to the order and patterns of the world, an enlightened intellectual knows that the complexities of life cannot be fully grasped or controlled by intelligence alone. The world’s unpredictability and the inherent chaos of human existence, particularly within our own biology, are not fully understood by reason or intellect. True intelligence involves recognizing the limits of knowledge and understanding that a rational approach cannot completely explain the uncertainties that spirituality often addresses. Surrendering to a false "sense of order" is simply an excuse to allow chemicals to turn your brain off as your brain chemistry punishes cognitive dissonance.

Moreover, the notion that feelings of belongingness and self-worth are not simple byproducts of capricious brain chemicals is flawed. Truly enlightened thinkers understand that, while these feelings are chemically driven, they are not the essence of human existence. Emotions like belongingness and self-worth, though influenced by neurochemical processes, are not the defining components of what it means to be a rational, conscious being. Intelligence involves the ability to rise above these basic emotional impulses and understand them in the context of a larger, more nuanced human experience. To rely on these feelings as essential drivers of consciousness is to misunderstand the distinction between biological urges and the rational mind.

Therefore, the truly intellectual mind must seek to transcend these chemical feelings, not simply accept or reject them. Reason and intellect must temper emotional impulses, acknowledging their role in human identity and social connection, but understanding that they cannot be the driving force of human consciousness. To be truly rational is to recognize the limits and origins of these feelings, using intellectual awareness to navigate beyond them. In doing so, enlightened individuals can balance their biological inclinations with their higher reasoning capabilities, ensuring that their decisions and beliefs are guided not by fleeting emotions but by deliberate and thoughtful reflection. Humans have inherited millions of years of evolutionary bio-chemistry, but that does not mean their existence must be subservient  to outdated concepts of herd structure (belonging and self-worth) and cognitive dissonance. All advances in technology have made every one of those instinctual processes absolutely irrelevant for the existence of modern man. The intelligent man is the only one prepared to cast off such outdated notions and free himself from millions of years of outdated biochemistry.

WAR MONGER GENERAL Jan Christian Smuts was a harsh leader who failed to rise above the prejudices of his time. His legacy is one of moral inconsistency, imperialistic arrogance, and the perpetuation of racial oppression. Far from the hero that some portray him to be, Smuts’s record is that of a man whose actions repeatedly contradicted the lofty ideals he espoused on the world stage. His policies and actions reveal a man deeply committed to maintaining power and privilege, often at the expense of the very principles of equality and freedom that he claimed to support. Smuts’s legacy deserves not reverence, but scathing critique, as a reminder of the dangers of embracing a selective and self-serving version of progress defined by a buzzword and not practical results..

AI is getting scary.
I was thinking about how Kamala started using a new buzzword last week...holistic...and I asked AI what it thought about it...
It then launched into this huge scathing critique of the government in general...

When the government tries to address too many issues at once—much like a holistic approach—it can end up being ineffective at solving any particular problem. This is a common critique of large, all-encompassing government interventions: the broader and more diffuse the focus, the more difficult it becomes to implement effective solutions.
Here’s how trying to do everything often results in doing nothing well:
1. Diluted Resources and Focus:
  • When the government attempts to address multiple complex issues at once, it spreads its resources too thin. Whether it’s money, personnel, or time, resources are finite, and trying to allocate them across too many areas reduces the effectiveness in any one area.
  • For example, a holistic approach might involve tackling poverty, healthcare, education, and climate change all simultaneously. While each is important, addressing all at once can mean none of the solutions receive the focus or funding they need to be truly impactful.
2. Bureaucratic Inefficiency:
  • Governments tend to develop large bureaucracies to manage holistic programs, leading to inefficiency and a lack of agility. When multiple agencies, departments, and stakeholders are involved, decision-making slows down, and accountability becomes unclear.
  • As a result, the complexity of holistic approaches can lead to mismanagement, waste, and delays, which undermines the intended outcomes. The more layers of bureaucracy involved, the harder it is to ensure solutions are executed efficiently.
3. One-Size-Fits-All Solutions Fall Flat:
  • Holistic approaches often rely on one-size-fits-all solutions, assuming that a broad strategy will address multiple issues across the board. However, this overlooks the fact that problems often require tailored, specific interventions based on local conditions or sector-specific challenges.
  • For example, a holistic program for poverty reduction might include education reform, healthcare expansion, and job training. While these are important, a single nationwide approach may not be effective in every region, as the causes of poverty differ between urban and rural areas, or between industries.
4. Lack of Accountability:
  • When the government takes on too many responsibilities at once, it’s often difficult to hold any one entity accountable for results. With so many moving parts and different departments involved, failures or inefficiencies can be attributed to "the system" rather than any specific policy or leader.
  • Targeted approaches, on the other hand, tend to have clear objectives and measurable outcomes, making it easier to assess the success of policies and hold those responsible accountable.
5. Crowding Out Private and Local Initiatives:
  • A holistic government approach often attempts to centralize problem-solving at the federal level, which can crowd out private or local solutions that might be more effective. By trying to be involved in everything, the government sometimes stifles the innovation and efficiency of private companies or local communities that might have better, more context-specific solutions.
  • Local governments and private enterprises are often more nimble and better equipped to tackle specific problems. A targeted approach allows these entities to step in and fill gaps in a more tailored and effective manner.
A Targeted Approach Gets Results:
  • More Focused Resources: A targeted approach, such as focusing on job creation or tax incentives for businesses, allows the government to channel its resources toward a specific issue, ensuring the problem receives the attention and funding it needs. This concentrated effort can produce more immediate and measurable results than a broad, unfocused program.
  • Better Adaptation to Local Needs: Targeted approaches can be customized to fit the specific needs of different regions or sectors. For instance, an economic development program for rural areas would likely need a different set of tools than one for urban centers. A focused approach allows for flexibility in addressing localized challenges.
  • Clear Accountability and Metrics: By addressing a specific issue, targeted approaches allow for clear benchmarks of success or failure. If a program is designed to increase employment or stimulate growth in a particular sector, the results can be easily measured. This makes it easier to fine-tune the approach or replace ineffective strategies.
Conclusion:
When the government tries to do everything, it often ends up doing very little effectively. Holistic approaches that spread resources across multiple issues can lead to dilution of focus, inefficiency, and bureaucratic bloat. In contrast, targeted solutions concentrate efforts on solving specific problems, leading to more efficient use of resources, better accountability, and greater flexibility to adapt to local conditions.
By focusing on a targeted approach—whether it's through tax cuts, deregulation, or specific economic incentives—the government can make a tangible impact in areas where it matters most, without overwhelming itself with trying to solve every problem all at once.

Sheesh.... seems like AI is getting ready to take over.
