Wokes Hate Whites

Woke people have always hated white people. And if they were white themselves, they were deeply ashamed. Their shame goes back to Columbus, whose voyages led to the replacement of the native Americans by the Spanish and the English. Well, that did happen. But it wasn't as if the native American tribes weren't busy replacing each other for 21,000 years before Columbus arrived. Not only did Native American tribes engage in near continuous warfare, they often killed and ate their enemies too. Native American is not a synonym for peaceful American. whatever the faults of the Spanish, at least they didn't eat their victims afterward.

Never Give In To People Who Belong In Jail

When a trans "boy" gets too much testosterone he wants to grab a gun and mow down a classroom like Audrey Hale in Nashville. When a guy with a penis thinks he's a female, he wants to wear a dress and pee with the girls. These people (and the teachers, psychologists and surgeons who facilitate this) are mentally ill. Instead of enabling this, we should put these people in mental hospitals (or prison). Our world is both under great population pressure and unprecedented technological stress. People of weak character are the ones who succumb first. We are fools to let them run our schools, our military, our corporate advertising or anything else

Don't Ask Google Copilot About Climate Change

The AI program Google Copilot invariaby gives politically correct answers to questions involving Climate Change, though you might not think so if you only read the first part of the answer. I asked it about Climate Change last night. At first it fully agreed with me that evidence from ice cores and the geologic record showed that worldwide temperature increases have always preceeded increases in CO2, not the other way around. It even supplied me with details about the process. But then it suprisingly concluded with the assertion that CO2 causes the temperature to increase anyway. When I asked how it could tack on such an unsupported conclusion to its scientific beginning, it told me: "It might be time to move on to a new topic. Let's start over." Well, I guess when you make a fool of yourself, it really is time to move on.

When Fads Go Amok

Dangerous and fatal fads aren't uncommon among pubescent girls. As the New York Times pointed out in a major story 10 years ago, female puberty can often be pretty rough. In 1692, to cite one well-known example, a group of pubescent girls from Salem, Massachusetts, began suffering fits, contortions and uncontrolled screaming. A doctor bought in by the girls' families quickly decided that the problems was witchcraft, which certain bad actors were using to infect the houses, fields, forests and even the ships at sea. When one sea captain found a tub of rancid butter in the hold, he blamed that on witchcraft too. In those days, justice was swift. Nineteen people were promptly hanged and 150 more imprisioned. But Yankees had too much common sense to stay nutty for long. Residens quickly began to notice that even people with no belief in superstgitutions like witchcraft were using nevertheless using the accusation to redress old greviences. Within nine months the hysteria was essentially gone. Now we only hear about Salem 1692 when someone wants to point out, with good reason, I might add, just how fast a sober and reasonable society can essentially go nuts. Here's another pubescent female fad, this time though this time it's probably one you never heard of. In the 20th century, the historical team of Will and Ariel Durant wrote a book on Greek civilzation which mentioned in passing an old Plutarch story about an epidemic of suicide among young women in the Greek seaside town of Miletus in 277 BC. Girls were going out and hanging themselves in large numbers. Parents were aghast and astonished that such a thing could be happening at all. Some of them essentially hired guards to keep their daughters from running amok. No one really knew what to do until the city fathers, in a classic fit of inspiration, came up with the idea of mandating that all suicides be carried naked through the marketplace on their way to the burial grounds. This not only worked. It stopped the suicides overnight. Apparently, the desire to kill yourself wasn't as strong as the fear of having total strangers see you naked in the town square. The probelms today, of course, are much different. Many transsexuals today would give their left foot to be seen naked, in the marketplace, or anywhere else.

Transsexuality As The New Behavorial Sink

Starting the early sixties, behavorial anthropologist John Calhoun did a rat/mouse study he called the behavorial sink. He put a bunch of rats in four adjoining cages. They had plenty of food and water. But their behavor quickly changed. They tended to crowd together in one cage. The females quit caring for their young (or died themselves during childbirth). Males either became over-aggressive or pathologically passive. Somebecame cannibals. Both sexes forgot the social skills require to mate. It had become a patholical society, a rat version of transsexuality. As world population passes through 8 billion we are becoming the same overfed, over populated kind of society. (Is this why so many transsexual women are fat?) Both sexes seem increasingly uninterested in each other. What men care about is computer games. I am not sure about women--perhaps dying their hair incadescent orange or green.
