But I believe in this

You can't unring that bell. Saying "Jews have a disproportionate amount of influence in the halls of power compared to their population" can't be taboo if everyone is running around saying that about the whites. If Con. Inc demands its audience stop noticing, they'll be ignored.
This hits the nail on the head. The post-Holocaust Jews advocating against racial consciousness knew what they were doing. Noticing begets noticing. HBD or idpol based arguments on Right or Left will always lead to anti-Semitism as long as Jews are tracked as a distinct group in any way.
There's no stable HBD argument that rules out antisemitism. You can't build an argument around 13/52, that simultaneously avoids questions about Jewish over-representation.
There's no stable idpol argument that rules out antisemitism. You can't complain that blacks are under represented in XYZ, without protestant whites eventually noticing that there are almost no protestant whites in XYZ.

Obviously, well executed false flags are not recognized as so.
Not necessarily. Consider that we don't tend to see the intermediate category of false flags that fall apart after long investigations.
For murders, we see murderers that are caught immediately with terrible alibis, we see murderers that are intelligent and nearly perfect but fall apart under long investigation, and we see murderers that have somewhat decent alibis but fall apart under moderate investigation. We can speculate that there exist some very intelligent or lucky murderers whose alibis never fall apart under investigation.
With false flags, we only seem to see those that are caught immediately. There's no intermediate categories of false flaggers whose alibis fall apart after moderate investigation. There's a missing part of the curve.

Being concerned about the fate of your own ethnic or religious group is normal. That's not idpol as it's been during the culture war. The culture war idpol has been "being concerned about the fates of SOME ethnic groups is OK, but about others is pernicious racism".
Isn't that exactly what western Zionists are doing? Jews are allowed to look out for Jews, but Christians aren't allowed to look out for Christians. Imagine a Heritage Foundation report about how over-represented Jews are at prestige schools and professions, and how correspondingly under-represented Protestant Whites are. Do you think the ADL and Bari Weiss would say that was acceptable?

So, is everyone ready for the Republican Jussie Smollet?
We're using the NYPost here, I figure it is more reliable where Republican hoaxes are concerned.
A former New Jersey GOP aide allegedly paid a fetish artist to carve dozens of cuts in her skin and had a pal scrawl “Trump Whore” on her stomach in order to claim that she was the victim of a politically motivated violent attack, according to shocking new court documents. Natalie Greene, 26, was arrested Wednesday and charged with concocting the violent bogus ambush at Egg Harbor Township Nature Reserve on July 23, the US Attorney’s Office for New Jersey announced. Prosecutors said the accused fraudster claimed three gun-wielding men approached her and a friend on the trail around 10:30 p.m. before threatening to shoot her and hitting her in the head. The suspect said the fictitious attackers then hogtied her with black zip ties, held her down while slashing her face and body, and etched anti-Trump slurs onto her stomach and back because she worked for a Republican, the complaint said.
I was riding my bike past that nature preserve around then. I wasn't attacked by any Antifa. Go figure.
Two days before the alleged phony assault, Greene drove to Pennsylvania and paid a body modification artist she found on Instagram $500 to deliberately carve gruesome wounds into her face, neck, chest, back, and shoulders with a scalpel, the court documents alleged.
On the day of the alleged staged attack, Greene’s accomplice frantically called police, claiming she had been singled out by name and violently assaulted, according to the complaint. Officers found the accused con artist in a wooded area just off the trail, hands and feet bound together, her shirt pulled over her head, and the words “TRUMP WHORE” and “Van Drew is a racist” scribbled in black marker on her horrifically scarred body, as she screamed that one of her attackers had a gun. Horrific photos in the complaint show Greene with deep, grisly cuts on her body and face.
Prosecutors said Greene was taken to a hospital, where she and her accomplice gave police conflicting accounts of what happened and provided faulty descriptions of the phantom assailants. Black zip ties and duct tape were also found in Greene’s Maserati the night of the disturbing alleged scheme, and federal officials said her unidentified sidekick searched “zip ties near me” on their phone two days earlier and went to a Ventnor Dollar General to pick them up.
Lol Rutgers Law.
The young Ms. Greene's motive in this is pretty unclear. She was at one time a staffer for a NJ representative, presumably from Cape May county. But so far no one is reporting really extreme kind of politics. Cape May County Republican is practically the definition of "boat owner" Republican. It's a red tribe area in the way that any wealthy white area with lots of retiree fisherman and a few small farms would be. But it's not militia country or something. It's not somewhere full of conspiracy nuts, at least it wasn't.
Have we just cracked this much? I'm a little unclear on what kind of body modification is in the offing here exactly, is that stuff semi-permanent? That's HORRIFYING. Is it that worth it to hurt the other team? False flags all seem to be so poorly executed that they don't achieve anything for the "team" attempting them.
I'm unclear on whether this story fell apart so quickly that it was never reported as actually occurring, or if the story was suppressed because of the "wrong team" associations. I never heard anything about it until I heard she was being charged for false reporting. The cover-up appears to have been so thin and weak that it fell apart almost immediately. I haven't even seen much reporting on the Jussie Smollett of it all. Is this kind of insantity so routine it doesn't even break through to the front pages anymore?

Anecdotally, at least half the boys I grew up with who ultimately came out as homosexual were pretty obviously "different" compared to the other boys from a very early age.
That can fit with either a born this way natural inclination model that they were less masculine because of estrogen in the womb, or with a sin model that they were effeminate boys who were targeted or turned by propaganda later. Either it's a natural inclination that manifests as not enjoying football or war early. Or it's a case of less masculine boys who don't enjoy football or war choosing homosexuality as a kind of fallback that valorizes them as an effeminate man. Or if you prefer the abuse theory, effeminate boys are targeted for conversion by homosexuals.
There are also outliers, of course. I'm not really clear on what I think homosexuality is anymore.

Given that Eowyn is the female character given the most "screen time" in the entire trilogy, inherently her role is glamorized and elevated over that of the other women in the series. Galadriel and Arwyn are distinctly side characters (in the book rather than the film, where Arwen got a lot more girlboss prominence and we see more of Galadriel), Eowyn is only a step below the fellowship in character importance to the story.

Hey chat, what's your best solution to constipation?
I'm assuming this is cosmically linked to the Philadelphia Eagles' struggles on offense (they can't get AJ "Brown" into the "endzone" for a "touchdown"), but getting the iggles' offense in gear isn't really in my purview, so I'm gonna need something more personal.
I first noticed it right before flying, so maybe it was psychological, though it might have started earlier and I just didn't notice it? It started before I flew to Green Bay two weeks ago, when I tried to make sure I emptied out before heading to the airport, only to find that I could not. Typically, first thing in the morning I wake up and drink an espresso and immediately go to the bathroom. But for two weeks now I either haven't at all, or barely manage anything.
I've tried miralax to soften stools, and that had some positive effect, but I don't think the issue is solved. I tried suppositories, which got something out, but my bowel movements haven't returned to normal yet. Everything is small and soft, rather than large and firm.
Do I need to do something more drastic and mechanical like an enema? Is it more of a diet and lifestyle thing? My diet isn't perfect in general, but there wasn't any changes leading into this.

We despise the experiences our ancestors told us would build character in young people, then are shocked that we lack men of character.
Building things, inventing things, writing things. Some athletes, I'm sure, but I doubt many were at the top of the pecking order at school.
Bohr was on the Danish National Football team at the Olympics. Hemingway boxed and played football. Every president between Eisenhower and HW Bush, except LBJ, was a varsity athlete. Robert Moses was a varsity swimmer.
but read say CS Lewis about his time at school for a counterpoint.
And yet he still became CS Lewis.
Or look at Elon Musk who went through a heck of a character building school experience back in the bad old South Africa:
Isaacson—who has authored other best-selling biographies, such as those of Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, and Leonardo Da Vinci—writes of young Elon’s time at a South African “wilderness survival camp known as veldskool.” The business savant refers to it as a “paramilitary Lord of the Flies.” There, “bullying was considered a virtue,” Isaacson writes. “The kids were each given small rations of food and water, and they were allowed—indeed encouraged—to fight over them.” Small and awkward at the time, Elon was “beaten up twice” and lost 10 pounds during his first stint there. At one point, attendees were “divided into two groups and told to attack each other,” Isaacon writes. “‘It was so insane, mind-blowing,’ Musk recalls. Every few years, one of the kids would die. The counselors would recount such stories as warnings. ‘Don’t be stupid like that dumb f**k who died last year,’ they would say.”
Which sure sounds like it would be bad for Elon Musk, awkward target of bullies, and not at all like character building. It probably isn't something I would choose to send my kid to as described. But then he turned into Elon Musk. So we shouldn't totally discount that being the victim of bullies is a canon event that builds the character of the outcast who becomes a genius.
Sorry, I'm up too late and a bit bleary, but this just doesn't match on to my experience of life at all. Being good at this stuff (except football) makes you a loser. There is nothing that schoolboys (and often pre-1980 or so the men that they grew up to become) like to sneer at more than some swot earnestly making an effort to be good at things.
What the original comment advocated for was not sports specifically, or for every kid to be forced to hang out with every other kid and play sports. It was for kids to be allowed to self organize to do what they want to do. That can be form a band, that can be D&D, can be a creative circle, can be a WoW raid.
I've all the sympathy in the world for the loser, the outcast, the dork, the nerd, the geek. But I don't think they are any better served, ultimately, by safetyism than is the jock.

I was talking of rather higher ambitions.
And what, pray tell, might those be? Unless it's something utterly esoteric, or so rarefied as to constitute such a tiny number of people that statistical analysis becomes impossible, I posit that you'll find more athletes than you expect among their number.
That's not the way I heard it. He did it because his father suggested it. (I will look this up when I can).
From his autobiography:
Having been a sickly boy, with no natural bodily prowess, and having lived much at home, I was at first quite unable to hold my own when thrown into contact with other boys of rougher antecedents. I was nervous and timid. Yet from reading of the people I admired--ranging from the soldiers of Valley Forge, and Morgan's riflemen, to the heroes of my favorite stories--and from hearing of the feats performed by my Southern forefathers and kinsfolk, and from knowing my father, I felt a great admiration for men who were fearless and who could hold their own in the world, and I had a great desire to be like them. Until I was nearly fourteen I let this desire take no more definite shape than day-dreams. Then an incident happened that did me real good. Having an attack of asthma, I was sent off by myself to Moosehead Lake.
On the stage-coach ride thither I encountered a couple of other boys who were about my own age, but very much more competent and also much more mischievous. I have no doubt they were good-hearted boys, but they were boys! They found that I was a foreordained and predestined victim, and industriously proceeded to make life miserable for me. The worst feature was that when I finally tried to fight them I discovered that either one singly could not only handle me with easy contempt, but handle me so as not to hurt me much and yet to prevent my doing any damage whatever in return. The experience taught me what probably no amount of good advice could have taught me. I made up my mind that I must try to learn so that I would not again be put in such a helpless position; and having become quickly and bitterly conscious that I did not have the natural prowess to hold my own, I decided that I would try to supply its place by training. Accordingly, with my father's hearty approval, I started to learn to box. I was a painfully slow and awkward pupil, and certainly worked two or three years before I made any perceptible improvement whatever. My first boxing-master was John Long, an ex-prize-fighter. I can see his rooms now, with colored pictures of the fights between Tom Hyer and Yankee Sullivan, and Heenan and Sayers, and other great events in the annals of the squared circle.
Teddy directly states that this formative experience changed his entire life.
you seem to be advocating that the 'natural leaders' of boys and girls should be put in charge of society when they grow up.
Well I didn't really say it, Herodotus did, though he is ultimately right about everything. Science says so as well: Studies show huge percentages of Fortune 500 CEOs were college athletes, though maybe that's too boring for you again, and the really smart kids are outcasts who do super important stuff like write groundbreaking Harry Potter fanfics or something.
But also, it's not really advocating for jocks per se as natural leaders. It would be those with the relevant talent to the task at hand who would assume leadership, whose peers will recognize them as leaders. Kids will recognize a great mathematician if his skill helps him win at cards, or a great prankster who makes everyone laugh, or a great singer if they're trying to form a band. All aspects of human endeavor naturally lend charisma to their practitioners. I'm advocating for letting kids pursue their goals on their own, how they organize is up to them.

If anything, the children who do well in later life seem to be the misfits who had to learn because nobody else was there to lean on.
Cope. There is no positive correlation for misfits and genius or success, we just tell ourselves there is because it's a comfortable story to tell to losers. Some teenage misfits are smart, others are dumb. Some jocks are very successful. All studies on the topic show that varsity athletes do better than non-athletes across most life metrics.
Even in earlier times, much British and American greatness (e.g. Teddy Roosevelt) came from aristocrats who were educated at home and did not go to school.
Young Teddy was asthmatic and sickly as a child, but at 14 he got bullied by some older kids and he decided to do something about it. He took up exercise and boxing, and made himself better. He dedicated himself to The Strenuous Life to advance himself. His entire life is the proof of the character building thesis: the bullies who attacked him triggered the rise of the Rough Rider. If he had never met those bullies, he might never have become the man he was destined to be.
That's not to say that the optimal level of bullying and hurtful comments is 0%, but leaving boys to self-organise society does not produce [a] good society.
I'm not advocating for boys organizing the whole of society, I'm advocating for boys (and girls) being allowed to organize themselves in a limited setting.

To steel-man the idea that "knowing the cost" is always possible, I'm not sure it'd be reasonable to expect my (car) mechanic to define payment terms for a fix before even popping the hood. There are enough potential complications in complex procedures (emergency cesarean sections in childbirth, for example) that probably can't be trivially bundled up front.
The question isn't really do we know the cost, it is who carries the risk that the cost turns out to be higher (or lower) than expected. There are lots of situations where we are unsure about the cost going into a transaction, and the risk has to be distributed. Right now we operate on the system that the Hospital takes on only the risk that they don't get paid, while an "honest" patient takes on all the risk. We could quite easily choose to distribute that risk differently.

I think the problem with the sequel trilogy is that it ignores the basic rule of collaborative storytelling: never say No, say Yes And.
At core, all fantasy is cooperative storytelling between the author and the audience. Even the most encyclopedic fantasy worlds can never be fully fleshed out, the author always needs the audience to imagine the rest of the world as existing, and much of the joy comes from that kind of space for imagination. Boys love having that space for imagination to expand. Middle-Earth offers you vast vistas hinting at a world where the audience can imagine many other things happenings. 40k is the logical conclusion of this method: the whole galaxy is nothing but Yes And: yes there are Orcs and yes there are Elves and yes there are evil robots and yes there are terrifying psychic chaos demons and yes there is a giant bio-engineered fleet of bugs that are more dangerous than all the rest put together and yes there are vaguely anime inflected communist aliens and yes there are genetically perfect superhumans who can dual wield artillery.
Star Wars at first did the same in the OT and PT. ANH sets things in motion, and with each movie things just get bigger. The PT takes every idea in the OT and expands it.
The sequels are all No. They are No, not at all. Every question a viewer might have from prior movies is answered with "No, not really." No, the Republic wasn't refounded, not really, and it wasn't any good anyway. No, the Jedi order wasn't reformed, not for long, and it fell apart again instantly. No, the Empire wasn't defeated, not really. Even down to no, Han and Leia didn't stay in love.
The whole worldview of the movie is fundamentally negative and hopeless. It leaves no room for the viewer to imagine, and it leaves no room for collaborative storytelling to keep the universe growing.
So I guess I agree with you in concept, but I don't think it's any great feat. Anyone could have made garbage.

Speeding has substantial benefits alongside the risks - you waste significantly less of your life travelling and thus get more done.
Probably not. Very rarely will speeding significantly change travel times, you have to be doing a Cannonball Run to see a real difference in your life once you factor in things like getting into and out of the car and stop signs/lights (which I don't think anyone can recommend ignoring in most cases).
Rather, the benefit of speeding is that it is fun, and once you remove the idea of aesthetic enjoyment from your cost benefit you are lost as a human being. But I'm not interested in having the argument about my speeding habits here again.

Some people will tell you nothing is interesting about Epstein because they've formed that pre-existing conclusion on the topic and nothing will dissuade them. They've assumed an attitude of maximal cynicism to appear suave, and all the elites must be pedophiles is a way to avoid ever being disappointed.
I think there's some interesting stuff in there:
-- Epstein was much closer with his brother than previously thought. Generally people reported that he wasn't close with his brother, but they're in constant communication here, and his brother was clearly aware of just about all the inner workings of Epstein-world. Why hasn't his brother been brought before Congress? Here are millions of Republicans and Democrats alternately all talking about investigating every little conspiracy theory about Epstein, and we never bothered to just ask his brother under oath? The guy needs to either spill or be in prison, right?
-- Epstein was much closer with a lot of major Democrats, and much more of a #ResistanceLib than previously reported. He was kind of a really classic university blue tribe guy.
-- Epstein had significant ties with the upper reaches of Israeli politics
They also paint a broader picture of Epstein in general. Reading more about him in the emails, like reading the book list, makes me think that when this all settles down in another ten years or so Epstein is going to be revived as an online hero cult. Here's a guy, with no college degree and no family connections to speak of, who made himself a billionaire and put himself in the highest circles on what appears to have been sheer personal charm and charisma. Whether he was an Israeli spy or a master sexpot seducer of men and women or just a world-class bullshit artist, the guy was a fucking genius. There's going to be weird online communities of young men and women that worship him once we settle on who he was.
It's really tough to make arguments built around "Noticing" patterns which will be able to stop people from holding all kinds of folk prejudices. If evolution doesn't stop at the neck, why does it stop at morality? If my aunt Hilda was absolutely right about the niggers, why was she completely wrong about the kikes?
The argument that IQ is measurable while morality is not, is just a case of looking for your keys under the streetlight. Pay attention to the race of criminals, but ignore Epstein and Weinstein, ignore the ethnicity of the Bolsheviks and the cultural Marxists, etc.
Encouraging race blindness is the best way for Jews who wish to remain distinctive within larger societies to survive.
