Societies that win a lot become Decel because incumbents want to pull the ladder behind them. Social mobility and societal malleability and dynamism is key to maintain health of the system. Pro growth and constant adaptation is the only way.
successful cultures become pessimistic because it's not natural to for humans to look into the future and imagine all the amazing things that can achieve if you think you are at the top, you can only look down and cling to what you got civilizations must have optimistic goals

The remarkable thing about this is the casual dehumanization of the perpetrator. She's like a park ranger talking about an endangered species of wild animal, and was just doing what that species does when somebody invades its protected habitat

After observing and enduring years of mentally unstable wokes, huge swaths of the online right decided that while they probably couldn't out-crazy the woketariat, they at least had a decent shot at out-retarding them.
They're actually arguing that it would be better to be a slave in the 1800s than to live in America in the 1990s

Friend on here asked me how it felt to be Principal Clarinet of an orchestra. Very smart guy and a lover of classical music, he deserved my best answer: Told him how whitepilling it was living in a society that valued classical music enough to pay me a good wage for playing it.

Basically all progressive activism from 2015 to 2025 was predicated on the idea that being honest and acknowledging adult realities and trade offs was Bad and the only way you could be Good was total self abnegation and complete, uncritical enthusiasm for others’ unrealities.

For all of human history, people bragged about coming from good families. Now people brag about coming from bad families. Probably nothing.
🚨 Potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidates are introducing themselves to voters in a striking way: by documenting their childhood resentments, family chaos and fights with their parents.

OK, sure, maybe Muslim immigrants in Denmark cost the country a little more — alright alright, a lot more — but, you know, you also need to take into account that they... uhm... rape more.
