Concerning C:
"The same complainant took issue with this statement of Peterson’s: “Well, it’s just poor children and the world has too many people on it anyways.” Rogan had replied, “You’re being facetious.”
In his communications to the college, Peterson referred to this comment. “I respectfully submit that anyone truly listening to that podcast and not merely focusing for a moment on that statement out of context (and who has bothered to familiarize themselves at all with anything else I have ever said before leveling such an accusation) would note instantly that I do not for a second believe and never have that ‘it’s just poor children’ or ‘that the world has too many people on it.’
“The comment was aimed ironically exactly at those who make such claims and I am frankly rather amazed that the ICRC [the college’s Inquiries, Complaints, and Reports Committee] would make such an error in accusing me of propagating those views.”"
Tips (perhaps out of date) for dating leftist women while conservative and male: Treat your beliefs like a peacock's tail. Try your best to signal that you can afford to have these beliefs because of your huge evolutionary fitness advantage over other men. Don't show any embarrassment, your goal should be projecting the view that "I know you find my politics abhorrent, but I'm not going to hide my views because I'm confident that if you get to know me you will really want to date me, and if you don't, well, I have lots of options." Being a conservative white man, surprisingly, gives you a real advantage when trying to date a leftist non-white woman because these women are sick of white men trying to date them to prove their anti-racism, and won't think you guilty of this offense.

My guess is that teachers find it much more enjoyable to teach using whole language compared to phonics, and so our non-consumer based public school system mostly uses whole language instruction.

Imagine someone was raised in a country where the Holocaust is officially denied, and then goes to college in a country such as Finland or Germany in which denying the Holocaust is a crime. This student is genuinely uncertain if the Holocaust occurred, and starts conversations about the Holocaust with his classmates and presents arguments he was given as a child about why the Holocaust was faked by powerful interests. He is sternly told that it is a criminal offense to bring up such arguments. If he is a good Bayesian, how should this criminality cause him to update? (Of course, I don't think the Holocaust was faked.)

I've been told by a knowledgeable source that Conan the Barbarian (minus the magic) had a more accurate description of pre-history Europe than post-WW II anthropologists do.

From the Wikipedia page on the proposal: "Under the endorsed design principles of the Referendum Working Group, the membership of the Voice would be selected by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across the country, with an enforced gender balance at the national level"
I'm guessing that "gender balance" is a form of cultural imperialism and not a big part of how Australian aboriginals governed themselves before whites arrived.

Or the printing press which allows heretics to attack the honor of the holy Catholic Church. Let's pray this doesn't cause schisms and violence.

Yes, but whoever Trump picks next will be attacked just as harshly as Vance. Remember what happened to Kavanaugh. All the media needs is one person claiming personal knowledge that the nominee did or said something bad.

Imagine all the staff people who didn't realize "fought against Stalin in WW II" probably meant was a Nazi (Finns excluded, of course).

I've talked with her a few times in real life and formed a very positive impression of her.

“Get a decent career and make money.”- Doesn’t work in a world where women make up the majority of college graduates.
It's better advice than ever if college educated women mostly want to date college educated men. It's women who don't get dating market value from going to college.

I watched all of it, and the interview was highly inconsistent with the narratives that either Trump is Hitler or Trump is senile. The interview made Trump seem joyful. Funny to think back to the TV show NewsRadio (yes, I'm old) and consider that the actor playing the station mechanic played a key role in an US presidential election by interviewing Donald Trump.

What gets you fiercely activated, beyond what you can rationally justify?
Computer problems and being forced to go through call trees to contact some organization. If I'm alone I will scream and swear.

A long time ago I was a congressional intern. The issue that generated the most mail was animal rights. Don't be surprised if this killing has political impact.

Lots of leftists basically think Deliverance was a documentary and have a statistically unjustified fear of rural white Republicans. I don't doubt that some FEMA workers really were afraid to knock on the door of homes with Trump signs.

Don't forget Haiti. The French revolutionary government, remarkably, decided to end slavery in Haiti. Napoleon tried to bring it back, causing a horrific Haitian race war that may have made US Southerners more resistant to ending slavery and more willing to fight a civil war to keep it.

Tell her you want to move to a leftist state like Massachusetts or California that has similar laws to Europe. Tell her that America is so big thinking all American states are the same would be like an American thinking there is no real difference between living in Romania or England or an American being fearful of living in Spain because of the policies of the Hungarian government.

Yes, pillaging isn't that bad is something you could only think if you have never had to worry about starvation.

Female education is strongly negatively correlated with fertility. I'm guessing civil society won't let me target this, but perhaps I could greatly reduce the total number of people going to college.

My guess is that some men get so used to the hyperfeminine women the media constantly throws at us that a normal looking older woman looks masculine to them. Kind of like thinking a woman must have a genetic deformity because her eyes are so much smaller than the eyes of anime girls.

It's my impression that women hate women who use sex to get ahead in the way that Kamala did.

Related question: Does the military treat its troops better if you have universal conscription or if you force the military to compete in labor markets?
Prediction: If this passes nice hotels will almost never have vacancies. They will have some rewards program that guarantees there are never vacancies because any empty room will be given to a person in the rewards program or perhaps given to a friend of a hotel employee. Or, you go to the hotel expecting to have one room, and the hotel decides to give you two as a bonus for being such a good customer.
