Chill Gutter Philosophy

The left is way too concerned with who people “really” are. As if they know anyone’s secret soul. As if they or anyone could. The immanence of someone’s being is of no concern to me; no, I care about what they do.

Indeed, the one salient fact that can be known about vermin like Decarlos Brown is what he does. Nothing else really matters.

At one time, these beliefs about the unicorn-like inner beings of all humans were probably noble, had some benefit to give to society and the world. Now, though, the left uses these as empty platitudes to enforce a doctrine that inflicts enormous societal costs on all the rest of us. And of course, the expenses of this suicidal faux-empathy fall disproportionately on women. In some ways I believe this is by design. However, it’s most the left wanting to appear to be on the side of good and having no real idea what they should look like.

It’s not actually good to allow young women to be murdered when that could be easily prevented. It’s not helping anyone to tolerate crime-ridden neighborhoods beset by human predators. It’s not a benefit to society to jail those who enforce the tenets of civilization on mass transit.

This suicidal empathy is going to get us all killed in the end.

Retinal

Chill Annoying, Lying Liars

I’m old enough to remember when scientists confidently assured us that 800×600 resolution was all that was needed and the human eye couldn’t really perceive any more detail than that.

That was around 1994 or so. Can you imagine living with 800×600 now? Looks like garbage, right? But that was common “knowledge” back then. Common “knowledge” these days is that no one can possibly distinguish between 1080p and 4K. Sure, buddy. Heard that story before. Just as much an absurd lie this time too.

Probably the upper human vision limit of being able to notice any difference under ideal conditions is 32K on a 27″ monitor. Many people, however, truly wouldn’t be able to distinguish anything at or above about 8K.

And those are the actual limits of human vision, as opposed to the clown pseudoscience a lot of faux-scientists seem to pull out of their ass every few years.

Toast, No Butter

Chill Annoying, Evil

By the way, the best strategy for this is not punching the assailant in the face. That’s just gonna hurt your hand and might not even do much damage, especially if you’re not used to throwing punches. And some people like me are really hard to faze with strikes to the head.

I’d go for his legs to put him on the ground and stomp on his face. Fast, effective, and he won’t be getting up again anytime soon. It’d knock the girlfriend down, too, but that’s so much better than doing nothing. The attacker is doing fuck all to protect himself so he’s a very easy target. I’d toast him so hard in that situation his new nickname would be “English Muffin.”

That guy is such a painful-to-watch mook loser, though. I hope she left him two seconds after this occurred.

Staked In

Chill Rant

This article gets something really right.

In fact, the advent of digital media marks the third information crisis humans have lived through: the first came after the invention of writing; the second followed the printing press.

This is correct. The Ian Welshian doofclown assertion that the internet changed nothing, meant nothing, transmogrified no human relation, is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard in my entire life. And I grew up in rural North Florida, so I’ve heard some absolutely fantastically stupid things.

As the article points out, we are living through the first stages of what will be the largest information apocalypse (in my view) probably since the Sumerians first started pressing wedges into wet clay thousands of years ago.

And if you can miss that as Welsh has, I can’t trust your assessment of anything else.

(I’d argue that the first info crisis truly came with the invention of language itself, but that was probably more gradual.)

Marvel At

Chill Amusing

I think it’s funny that a lot of people read me as a jock type now.

I’m like the nerdiest dude in world history. Yeah, I’m not bad athletically but anyone who knew me in high school would find it hysterical that anyone thinks I could be a jock.

Naw, I only look on the exterior like I stepped off the set of a Marvel movie. Still the same nerdy crap up in my gigantic noggin 24/7.

The Sort of Evil

Chill Evil

I don’t think these are the reasons. Maybe for a few politicians, but the main reason is that it’s a leftist project to both punish and destroy the West. Anything else that happens — such as regular gang rapes of Western women and girls — they just don’t care about it. It’s not a goal, but to them if a few hundred thousand or even a few million women get their lives destroyed, whatever happens happens.

Still evil. Just a different sort of evil.

That said, along with killing nuclear power by making it too expensive to build, the leftist project of unmaking the West by increasing Islamic/North African immigration to invasion levels in Europe has been their largest success. It’s working better than most of the so-called Right parties or projects. And it’s not even close; the Left will succeed here while the Right will almost certainly fail at turning back the tide.

Europe is over as a project. All that remains is the fall.
