Some discussion on this like "Yeah when an academic learns their field is fake the honorable thing is to acknowledge the critiques are correct, what more do you want" and I dunno man, when I was a young man who learned my academic field was fake, I left to go do something real.

Outsider: I have investigated this academic field and found that it is mostly fake. Insider: This essay adds nothing to the discourse. All of these so-called "problems" are discussed in Hamilton and Schwartz’s "Our Entire Field Is Mostly Fake" (2009). You absolute buffoon.

Fascinating. The ‘Neoborbonici’ school of history seeks to defend the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies against the slanders of liberals such as William Gladstone.

“Free Palestine” isn’t just a call for change in the Middle East. It is also a movement that seeks to remake Western societies. My essay on the anniversary of October 7: https://t.co/g3DZUG1eIS

Five years ago, chants of “Black Lives Matter” rang out in the streets, and elite institutions underwent a racial reckoning.

By far the most important implication of the “Great Feminization” thesis is this: If wokeness is the result of demographic feminization, then wokeness will never be over as long as the demographics remain the same.

Amazing. Most speeches from the last NatCon have a few dozen views. “The Great Feminization” is now approaching 100,000. I’m truly grateful to see this important message spreading. A few additional thoughts:

In a 2009 negotiation study, women who took testosterone behaved more fairly w less conflicts, however women who believed they took testosterone (but actually just had placebo) behaved more aggressively & unfairly.

3. In the NatCon speech, I talk about how fields that achieve a 50-50 gender balance usually don’t stay that way. Once they reach the tipping point of female representation, they get more feminized, which drives men away, and you end up like psychology, which is now

2. People think the difference between men and women is that men are logical and women are emotional. That’s true, but it’s just a tiny fraction of what “feminization” means. For example, men have the concept of an honorable enemy. Men can engage in conflict with an opponent and

1. Remember how insane everything got in 2020? That is just a small preview of how things will be when women come to dominate our institutions. Back in the 1970s, a lot of people thought introducing women into institutions wouldn’t change them, or might make them slightly softer

My NatCon speech on the Great Feminization is up to 28K views in one week, by the way. I’m pleasantly surprised by the positive reception and grateful to the many writers and anons whose work on feminization I was able to draw on.

City planners were among those who descended on the former East Germany: “Those pied pipers arrived and said: Your little village is really kaput, but we promise to build something splendid here. Our people believed it all… So they built sewage plants that were too big, and

Even after the Wall fell, ordinary East Germans strongly resisted the idea that their society had been totalitarian in the same way as fascism: “Angrily they pronounced that the Nazis left behind mountains of corpses while the GDR created only mountains of secret service files.”

I’ve been fascinated by the observation that all of the anti-Trump energy, especially these street protests, has been so dominated by boomer age libs. In talking to them (which I recommend you do if given the chance) I’ve found their beliefs are mostly a hodgepodge of

This novelist, Laurent Obertone, sounds like a new Houellebecq, but he remains untranslated into English. “What really appeals to many of Obertone’s fans is how close his caricatures of the Bobo Left are to reality, how their self-hating, anti-French masochism leads effectively

Blast from the past: Back in the 1980s, in Dijon, Hussey was beaten up for talking to a girl in a bar. “My attackers were three Algerians. I knew this because before I was punched in the face I was called a racist and a dog and told not to ‘fuck with Algerians.’”
