Agreed. To operate competently in modern society takes about 115 IQ. Average is of course 100.

This explains many bad outcomes. Not sure what to do about it, if anything.

Women are born valuable while men are born disposable. They then have to become valuable in trials by fire.

Both sides resent what is true of the other. These dual facts are, in large part, what is responsible for the current gender conflict.

If at least one person hasn’t tried to assassinate you, your life is probably not interesting enough for a memoir.

Just keep it in there, where it belongs.

Some rare dreams are so fantastically detailed that when you awaken, you’re not certain which realm you’re supposed to be inhabiting.

I’m a bad humorist because my primary (and often, only) goal is to amuse myself and to make myself laugh. If someone comes along for that ride, so be it.

But I care not.

That was not the stupdest thing I’ve seen, but it’s right up there.

Blue cities are incredibly poorly governed.

A very strange phenomenon that I think doesn’t yet have an adequate explanation.

I pretty much agree with that.

We must become the gods we pretend to be.

The pre-Covid world seems strange and fairly foreign now.

I don’t give a single little fuck about sleep metrics, sleep hygiene, how much I should sleep or how much some app or person tells me I am supposed to sleep, my alleged circadian rhythm or any of that other ridiculous normie bullcrap.

I do what I want. As always.

It is an extremely strange position to hold — even if you think it’d be a good thing. It’s just so far out of the historical human norm.

It’s nice that we seem to be evolving a little bit away from the “men are inherently evil, women are inherently good, and men’s sexuality is always bad, no exceptions” narrative. Not much, but some progress.

I did not realize that when other people learn other languages they are translating the words from the foreign language into their native language forever in their heads. At least, most everyone. When I learn to read a language well enough (and it doesn’t take me long), no more translation. “Jaune” in French for me doesn’t have to be converted to “yellow” anymore for me, for instance. It works just the same as my English “yellow.” It’s directly mapped.

And I guess that has to do with how my mind works in that area, but I legitimately did not know that most people were doing the two-step translation. Explains a lot, though.

Yes, because it’d be free of the bacterium that causes cholera and the various entities that lead to dysentery and that would’ve made a huge difference.

America Is Falling Out of Love With Pizza.

The true sign that we’re all turning to evil. I believe the universe might have been created so that pizza could exist.
