If a woman is cute, she may get a date
If she's fun, she gets a second date
If her company brings him joy, she gets more dates
But only if he decides she is a good person, will he marry her.
No guy who is smart enough to become "high value", wants to become vulnerable to an evil woman having her hooks in him.
Thoreau:
The mass of men serve the state thus, not as men mainly, but as machines, with their bodies. They are the standing army, and the militia, jailers, constables, posse comitatus, etc. In most cases there is no free exercise whatever of the judgement or of the moral sense; but they put themselves on a level with wood and earth and stones; and wooden men can perhaps be manufactured that will serve the purpose as well.
Such command no more respect than men of straw or a lump of dirt. They have the same sort of worth only as horses and dogs. Yet such as these even are commonly esteemed good citizens.
Others--as most legislators, politicians, lawyers, ministers, and officeholders--serve the state chiefly with their heads; and, as they rarely make any moral distinctions, they are as likely to serve the Devil, without intending it, as God.
A very few, as heroes, patriots, martyrs, reformers in the great sense, and men, serve the state with their consciences also, and so necessarily resist it for the most part; and they are commonly treated as enemies by it.
A few years ago, Peter Thiel wrote to Mark Zuckerberg: 70% of Millennials say they're pro-socialist.
His conclusion: stop calling them stupid, and try to understand why.
His explanation was economic. Too much student debt, unaffordable housing, no capital. When you own nothing, you have no reason to defend the system.
He's right. But that's only half the story.
The other half is school.
School destroys critical thinking. Methodically. For fifteen years.
You learn to recite instead of question. To find the expected answer instead of the true one. To obey authority instead of reasoning for yourself.
When you've spent your youth outsourcing your thinking to an institution, it feels natural to outsource your life to an even bigger one: the State.
That's why so many end up Marxist. Not by conviction. By conditioning.
And that conditioning is about to become a handicap.
We're entering a world where AI does everything conformist, predictable and standardized better than we do. The only value left is thinking differently.
To create value tomorrow, you'll need to be neurodivergent.
And someone who thinks differently and reasons from first principles almost always ends up seeing the same thing: the State, as it works today, destroys more value than it creates.
It's no accident that Alex Karp created a fellowship at Palantir dedicated to neurodivergent talent. To him, in the age of AI, there are only two ways to have a future: master a real trade, or be neurodivergent.
But I'll go further than Karp.
I believe neurodivergence isn't the exception. It's the natural state of the human mind.
Look at a four-year-old. They ask hundreds of questions a day. They take everything apart. They refuse any rule they don't understand. They think from first principles without even knowing it's a thing.
Then they go to school. And we spend fifteen years normalizing them.
School doesn't shape minds. It sands them down.
The future belongs to those who survived the sanding.

The senators will decide who is vulnerable to being primaried and let them vote against Thune, as long as no pro-Trump senator (assuming there is one) has a chance
JUST IN: 7 Republican Senators are moving to BLOCK the vote to keep John Thune from becoming minority leader.
The list so far:
-Ron Johnson (WI)
-Mike Lee (UT)
-Rick Scott (FL)
-John Kennedy (LA)
-Dave McCormick (PA)
-Jim Banks (IN)
-Ted Budd (NC)
Every Republican Senator should be joining them. John Thune has failed as leader. Don't reward him for his failures.

The Soviet KGB Academy would give their trainees an exercise:
Pretend to be a Western spy, and see if you can get someone in a sensitive job to give information. If he succeeded, the person was arrested.
Boards should start hiring their own hookers to seduce their execs. If it fails, great, you’ve got a good one. If it succeeds, nothing leaks and now you know what you’re dealing with and have leverage to boot.

The Republican senators are trying to obscure that they are traitors,
that stopping Trump’s agenda was the plan all along,
and that they did it on the orders of their major donors who were upset that Trump was taking away their cheap alien labor.
It’s going to be a wild week in the US Senate. Buckle up.
I have been calling around to various Republican Senators this weekend.
A few takeaways…
1. Conference is just furious — pissed is an understatement.
2. They see their own inaction on critical issues like the SAVE Act and insider trading bills as a major de-motivator for the midterms. They blame Thune and leadership for playing safe.
3. The rushed Leadership vote Tuesday is seen as a blatant insult. Senators want to know how their Leaders will respond to lame duck session and being in a steep minority.
4. Over a dozen Senators are demanding round the clock work on Trump nominations and judicial appointments. Some believe parts of the SAVE Act can still be passed through reconciliation.
5. Recess appointments are also being demanded. Thune is holding them up.
6. Senators are openly questioning their adherence to “tradition” — blue slip, filibuster etc. — as a new crop of Democrats couldn’t care less and will destroy tradition for power in a heartbeat.
7. There’s a sense that something big is going to happen. A real shakeup. Stay tuned…
One Senator tells me: “The guys blocking an America First conference are all gone now. It’s never going back to the old ways. Time to try new things…”
Buckle up.

If Griggs were overturned, and employers were once again allowed to give aptitude tests to applicants (like the military does), and hire smart people right out of high school, the entire university scam would collapse.
I've been harping on this for a long time. Griggs v. Duke power has probably been one of the worst things to ever happen to people that are smart from non wealthy families, and similarly awful for employers.
Unfortunately, maybe 5% of the population is able to understand second order effects. Road to hell paved with good intentions etc etc.
A hundred years ago, it was common for a young man to be hired in a company out of high school.
If he showed promise for advancement, he would be encouraged to do college work on the side (night classes) and would advance.
These days, with AI, remote learning, and recorded lectures, it would be easy for someone to accumulate relevant education part time, and steadily advance without debt.

I think Hegseth’s current priority is to identify and dismiss every general who would go along with a coup against Trump.
This is why they are urgently trying to remove him.

Regarding vote fraud activities:
How much would an activist need to be paid to risk federal prosecution? In an environment where the DOJ is eager to prosecute, AND they have more people watching? Both visibly (federal observers) AND invisibly (James O’Keefe and hundreds of citizen journalists?
The money may not be available to pay enough activists to take increased risks.

Some days ago there was a story of a Tesla swerving to the shoulder to avoid a rear end collision, and the driver swerving back.
FSD really needs to tell you why it’s doing stuff.
When DOGE cut a bunch of scams, that reduced money available to pay for vote fraud
(What? You thought the fraudsters volunteered for free?)

The Democrats fail to realize that when you take the axiom "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" in relation to DJT to the point that you align yourself with Jihad Joe El-Sayed, you've lost the plot. They've embraced a binary worldview in an analog world, and they are stuck on 0.

I was not really political before the Covid lockdowns and George Floyd riots of 2020 radicalized me. Obama was terrible and DEI racial discrimination was pervasive, but I was a naive idealistic libertarian who believed in small government, free markets, individual liberty, open dialogue, classical liberalism, Ronald Reagan, Milton Friedman. This is typical. Democrats antagonized young white men like me nonstop for a decade. They shouldn't have messed with our video games. Leftists are now running scared and begging for forgiveness because angry young men like me are relentlessly hitting them and tearing into them like a rabid dog foaming at the mouth with pure hatred. I will never forgive them for what they did to my beautiful country. We will never back down. Leftists wanted talented young white men to be their enemies. Congratulations, we're coming for you.

🚨 BREAKING: A Biden federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to SCRUB its "$5,000 to Americans" video from every government website and social account, just days before the midterms — so Americans are BLASTING IT EVERYWHERE
Judge Jennifer Rochon of SDNY sided with liberals, ruling the ad was likely "propaganda" funded by taxpayers
She also ordered two more ads pulled: "Every Democrat Voted Against No Tax on Tips" and "Cost of Socialism." 🤯
DIRECT INTERFERENCE BY A JUDGE

I think many H1-Bs are participating in a looting of American companies.
H1B manager hires a bunch of unqualified H1B "professionals", who kick back a chunk of their salaries in exchange for the job.
And the companies sink into the abyss due to the weight of incompetence.

The Leftist globalists support Poland’s Tusk, which tells you what you need to know about him.
In Poland, Prime Minister Donald Tusk is showing the world how to fight right wing terrorists.
PiS is Poland’s MAGA and we all must support PM Donald Tusk - and the USA’s Democrats need to take note on how to restore law, order, respect and democracy.
