I mentioned this a week ago, but it bears repeating. Moving forward, as things intensify, there are four general types to avoid – as circumstances permit. Frequently, a stranger in the wild will fall into two or more categories.

  1. The evil
  2. The stupid
  3. The mentally ill
  4. The chronically intoxicated

I have a plan to flush this out later. As-is, yes, it may sound a little harsh. These are not times to be concerned with how things sound. This post brought to you courtesy of a duo of stupid, wicked people I will now try to avoid.

If you find you’re small town and county going “bluer” by the election, then, yes, you may notice things like elected officials who behave like idiots at best. All you need to do – ask any Boomer moron – is get them to read the Constitution (or have someone read it to them!) and then they’ll vote Republican and things will magically fix themselves. Or, if you’re intelligent, you might notice that 56% of your population now consists of people who reliably vote Democrat – period, and who are not known for civilization. What did you do to deserve this state of affairs? Well, you rebelled against God in some way(s), in general, and you failed to have children, specifically. Demographics = destiny. And, if you’re angry about malfunctioning street lights, guess what goes next!

How’s That Sexual Revolution Working Out For You?

Not too good, if you’re a woman these days. Because of what the “pandemic” did(!) the WSJ notices that the aging cat ladies among us seem a little disenchanted with their cultural life decisions.

Kelli Wheeler always knew she wanted to have children. But in April, her boyfriend broke up with her right as the pandemic set off social-distancing mandates that make dating much more complicated. The 34-year-old decided she would have to rethink her path to motherhood.

“Even if I met a guy quite quickly, I was three or four years away from having kids because I’d want some time where it was just the two of us,” says Ms. Wheeler, a digital-content producer in Los Angeles. “I began looking into ways I could take control of my fertility, without a man.” She booked a consultation at a fertility clinic and plans to freeze her eggs this spring.

Ms. Wheeler is one of many single women in their 30s and 40s who have found themselves reassessing their plans for having children in the past year. The pandemic has both made it harder to meet a partner and provided time for introspection. For some women, that has sparked a realization that they want to prioritize motherhood, regardless of whether they are in a relationship. Plenty of men, of course, have had similar epiphanies, but biology forces women to take action within a more limited window of time.

Wait! I thought biology was just a social construct. JK! I really do feel for these women and the rest of our rapidly decaying society. Maybe the time to have children was around 18 or 20? Married? Maybe we’ve all been lied to for generations. This has been in force long before the Coronahoax drifted in. See this study on the death of the nuclear family in the US.

Subtle Intelligence

The joys of email! I received one just the other night from The Ladders (of the jobs search sect). It contained a link to 9 subtle ways to show you’re intelligent (without having to say anything) by Jonah Malin – not a bad article as far as things go, especially for those looking to increase performance in the workplace.

While scanning, I caught on to a few words and phrases that stood out:

What makes someone intelligent?

Is it the ability to recall facts? Being an expert test-taker? Reading two hundred books a year?

Honestly, true intelligence requires a holistic approach. The smartest people are experts at navigating life through learned experiences. They have good judgment in different situations. And, most importantly, intelligent people understand actions speak louder than words.

There’s, of course, much more; read the whole thing. And, on this topic, as with many others, it’s a matter of relativity. Again, this being an employment/corporate HR publication, the nine methods of intelligence demonstration are all nicely tailored for boosting actual or perceived performance, ostensibly improving the overall dynamics of the office experience. It’s great for what it is. What it is not is an empirical answer to the leading question, above, as qualified by the included terms “truly intelligent.” The answer in that narrowed light is an IQ at or above 140. (Yes, there are all kinds of standards, but Terman’s [one of them] is sufficient for discussion of minds rating in or above the Mensa range or that commonly assigned to gifted placements in most schools).

Most people, averaging between 85 and 115, will, I think, benefit from the provided tips. More benefits should be derived by or for those in the 115 – 130 range. I suspect there is a marked decrease for those above 130, and a cliff-falling of sorts for those above 140. While patience and attire are important for everyone, at least from time to time, the higher up the ladder one climbs, the more difficult it is to successfully interact with those below (in a general sense). This partially explains why those with very high or extremely high IQs frequently do not fit in with organizations, regardless of how they spend money or what they wear. Thinking differently – that’s what it is – leads to interacting differently. Some handle it better than others, a matter more of personality than intelligence, which is what the article really drives towards.

One great tell that this advice is offered for those above average if below the exceptional threshold is the final tip about social media. True intelligence is rarely found on Facebook, a platform geared more towards the television-watching public than Triple Nine members. Sure, anyone can create a responsible reason to post or Tweet, it just isn’t common.

If you work with or employ someone with a very high IQ, do what you can to steer him into the right position where he can be happy while also using his mental advantages to your advantage.

A Most Interesting-Sounding Book

American Awakening: Identity Politics and Other Afflictions of Our Time by Joshua Mitchell may be worth reading. Here’s a summary.

America seems to have gone mad. It still is the world’s richest and most powerful country, with the oldest continuous government on earth, yet it is in deep crisis and divided between hostile camps that reject each other’s legitimacy. Paradoxically, what made America strong also makes it inherently fragile. Joshua Mitchell, a professor of government at Georgetown University, presents a cogent diagnosis of America’s dark night of the soul in a remarkable new book that should be required reading for anyone who wants to make sense of today’s United States.

A Chinese acquaintance quips, “Now you are having your own Cultural Revolution.” In fact, the criticism and self-criticism sessions imposed on corporate employees and school personnel to root out hidden racism recall Mao’s Red Guards. But America is not China, and this is not a Cultural Revolution; it is an eruption of Christian religious feeling channeled into secular obsessions.

Asia Times’s review presents a somewhat jumbled but still compelling portrait. I may just pick this one up and report back in a while. If you’d like to beat me to it, check here.

A Matter of Trust

Well, what do you know? The homogenous American people of 1970 were much more trusting of each other than the assorted Tower of Babel 2.0 USians of 2020. Even the WSJ notices now, even as they can’t find the plain answer.

But as trust theorists have dug deeper, they’ve found that this negative effect is largely correlated not with diversity itself but with segregation. When ethnic groups are concentrated in small geographical areas and have little contact with one another, distrust is high; with greater contact, the effect shrinks. And while ethnic diversity has increased in the U.S. considerably since 1980—around a 50% increase as measured by the National Equity Atlas Diversity Index—ethnic segregation has decreased somewhat.

So, it’s not diversity, it’s just the natural product of diversity? Bullshit. The cartoon picture in the article says it all. Different peoples are not the same, obviously, and they obviously resort to skepticism when dealing with others. And politics has almost nothing to do with it, nor economics; all we have now are “others.”

The America of 1970, already just beginning to feel the horrible effects of 1965, was still about 85% White European – down from about 90% twenty years earlier. Now, where are we? 58%? Whatever it is, it’s falling towards just another plurality in a sea of incompatibility from every corner of the globe. This was the plan and it worked perfectly, causing the destruction of the American Nation. We can trust that the intentions of its authors were utterly evil.

Since 1965, the US has been sold a bill of goods about the “benefits” of diversity. A new study sheds light:

Abstract

Does ethnic diversity erode social trust? Continued immigration and corresponding growing ethnic diversity have prompted this essential question for modern societies, but few clear answers have been reached in the sprawling literature. Taking this as point of departure, this article reviews the existing literature on the relationship between ethnic diversity and social trust through a narrative review and a meta-analysis of 1,001 estimates from 87 studies. The review clarifies the core concepts, highlights pertinent debates, and tests core claims from the literature on the relationship between ethnic diversity and social trust. Several results stand out from the meta-analysis. We find a statistically significant negative relationship between ethnic diversity and social trust across all studies. The relationship is stronger for trust in neighbors, and when studied in more local contexts. Covariate conditioning generally changes the relationship only slightly. The review concludes by discussing avenues for future research.

Rest assured that, despite the findings, the lies will continue.

Lethargy Out Loud

From The Week, comes a new, tired look at the lack of Faith in the remains of Post-Amerca. Of course, they can’t describe it as such. Rather, they keep the matter centered around the god of power and politics.

Yes, Trump is awful, but he’s not a demonic figure. He’s a buffoon, a fool, a portrait in ignorance, rapaciousness, and groundless self-regard. That an entire political party, from grassroots voters on up to leading officeholders, bow down before him and parrot his bilious lies is pathetic and alarming. But it’s also … a little funny. Not because nothing matters, but because lots of things do — and this is something that Trump and his ridiculous party appear not to understand. Like a man convinced he’s Superman running headlong into a brick wall he’s sure will crumble on impact, allowing him to crash through unscathed to the other side, Trump acts like he can conjure a re-election out of thin air and positive thinking, even as he consistently trails his opponent by nearly eight percentage points.

Could it work? Possibly. But probably not. And that’s kind of funny, too. So go ahead and laugh out loud from time to time at the Trump travesty. Just don’t think it’s because nothing matters.

Buffoon, yes. It’s good that they see our beloved national clown as non-demonic. Kudos, a pretty good piece, but one that misses the Spiritual point. It’s not the politics that have people down and out. It’s their lack of Faith in Jesus Christ (who cannot be mentioned, Nietzsche standing in). They also increasingly lack intelligence, so they are, by the combination, given to believe nonsense like the 200,000(!) COVID deaths scar tactic used in the article. That, and they keep going along with the entire hoax even as the economy tanks and the country burns.

It is and is not a laughing matter.

Church of the Immaculate Corporation

Secular neo-pagan heathens essentially worship themselves, society, or the state. As corporations are just tacky state-created fake entities, it makes sense that they are cashing in on the pseudo-religious craze.

That sense of alignment with the divine, of guidance and belonging, of comfort and solidarity once provided by the act of congregation – that maybe got soiled or complicated by things like child sexual abuse scandals or a religious community that struggled to incorporate cultural shifts like social justice movements – can now be easily replaced by the same employer who recently refused to add dental to your health benefits. By promoting “mindfulness” and “intention”, by participating in group rituals, by making even routine tasks meaningful and soulful, employers can make the work day a kind of spiritual practice.

…

This is just the next inevitable step in the secularization process that divides ancient tradition from its larger contexts or meanings.

Read the whole article, commentary on the “nonsensical” and all. Is there not a certain sulfurous smell about this trend? Does the company town really need a company church temple?

Whatever Happened To Bat Boy? [The Weekly Column Marches (Stumbles) On]

Whatever Happened To Bat Boy?

Remember Bat Boy? The Weekly World feature-creature from the previous century, tragically born looking half like Bennie Shapiru and half like Nosferatu? Yeah, I hadn’t heard much about him either lately. Some say he’s now a public school administrator in California. Or, it could be that like honest politicians, he never really existed. Who knows?

But … Good Lord, Almighty, we have some real freaks in his place. 

Way back in June of 2018, at TPC, I warned about the rise of insane people who think they are vampires and who act accordingly. Along the way, I’ve made mention of some additional letters in the devil’s rainbow-colored acronym: V, for vampires; P, obviously for pedophiles, and; C, for cannibals. I’m not making this stuff up and it is serious. They’re not even trying to hide it now.

Slowly, but surely, they’re letting the truth seep out. Consider this story. Get past the “staying young” angle, although these freaks are typically obsessed with youth. It’s not just a trend for the “super-rich” either. Also, kindly overlook the tabloid source; these same rumors and allegations have appeared elsewhere and with too much similarity to discount.

Take a look at the overt weirdness, and also, see if you can spot some of the thinly-veiled themes that lend sad credence to VP&C: young blood, “health” sodomy, etc. 

Now, a great cop-out. I’m working on something similar for another magazine, one of many projects heating up. So, I’m going to leave you with the links. And, yes, I cut this one short. Honestly, I just ran out of steam for the topic. Sorry.

*This is the first weekly column, denoted as such, to run outside TPC. Quality will improve tomorrow. Or next week. The next one will be back to normal – if we have that around here. MB, feel free to grab or link this or any other!
