Being conservative is understanding that most things are already in the best possible configuration available to them given the money, iq (compute), macro economics, etc. Most progress will be incremental and driven by free actors. The governments job is to get out of the way.

AES, Ilhan Omar, etc. made me realize that libs imagine them as the downtrodden who made it in America, but these people are almost universally their countries' elite human capital. In the third world the only way to become EHC is ruthlessness, corruption, and grift.

Joining a gym in a big city* is a good reminder that the people who are hotter than you are often also smarter, nicer, and more popular. *results will vary outside the city

The US has more abortions per year than there are children in Gaza.

There's one country conspicuously missing from this thumbnail. You'll never guess which one? @SciShow @hankgreen you need to fire your thumbnail artist.

The Prime Directive isn’t about "civilizational progress". It’s that uncivilized people are more likely to pick fights they can't win leaving many of them dead. October 7 made this obvious.

At some point "model citizen" might mean AI with voting rights

It's under appreciated that even absolutely retarded people can protest. The left has made it out to be some kind of "noble calling" but in reality it's mostly people who don't have anything better to do on a Thursday (because their lives are a mess).

If Arday was white and @nathancofnas was black, Cofnas would be promoted to department head at his university and get a book deal to boot.

I am generally hesitant on universal suffrage discourse, but people with trust funds should not be allowed to vote.

Picked up Jason Arday's new book. Just got to the part where he saves the Wizarding World from He w Who Must Not Be Named. What a fascinating life he's lived!

The problem with the "white men as the face of woke" strategy is that they're either not woke like Fetterman, or psychopaths like Platner.

What people fail to understand is that under authoritarian regimes like communism or fascism, the Graham Platner characters make it to power. This is how you get Beria or Eichmann, true psychopaths, controlling the lives of millions of people.
