Is Mission Impossible II the Origin of the Term Monkey-Branching?

In the black-pill community the term “monkey branching”, i.e. the often-observed female behavior of only ending a relationship once the next sexual partner has been secured, was popularized a few years ago. This is a real phenomenon. It of course also often happens that women who only seemingly secured their next sexual partner end up… Continue reading Is Mission Impossible II the Origin of the Term Monkey-Branching?

Advice on Choosing a Prostitute (Guest Post by Pickernanny)

I’m heading back closer to home soon and leaving the city behind, at least for now. Wanted to outline some thoughts about banging whores and one of the misperceived pitfalls associated with it: Pros in general are only slightly more reliable than hooking up with non-pros based solely off of attraction. Allow me to explain.… Continue reading Advice on Choosing a Prostitute (Guest Post by Pickernanny)

Hyper-Attractive Women and Their Attitude Problems

In the recent Joe Rogan podcast with Elon Musk, there is a rather amusing bit at the start where Elon demonstrates the latest Grok-infused AI persona, jokingly referring to it as “unhinged mode”. His unhinged AI has a female voice and the attitude of an utterly spoilt brat. She ignores the questions she is asked… Continue reading Hyper-Attractive Women and Their Attitude Problems

The Disappearance of Random Hot Women in Media and Society

Over the last few weeks, I have been thinking of the relation of society to beauty. Whereas beauty used to be actively promoted by our rulers, in contemporary society the exact opposite is the case. What is worse, the status quo is so bad that you may not even realize how perverted society has become… Continue reading The Disappearance of Random Hot Women in Media and Society

The Value of Beauty in an Enforced World of Ugliness

In my article on why Math Olympians are generally unattractive, my main point was that physical attractiveness opens many doors. Thus, a highly-gifted yet highly-attractive teenage boy or girl has many more opportunities than someone who is highly gifted but also highly deficient in the looks department. Thus, the alpha-looks and alpha-IQ crowd tends to… Continue reading The Value of Beauty in an Enforced World of Ugliness

The Low Ceiling of Artificial Intelligence

I recently wrote an article that was quite critical of generative AI, but the focus was on fairly simple tasks, which these AI tools could already not properly deal with, such as compiling lists. A modicum of domain knowledge makes you realize that the information you got was incomplete, sometimes comically so. In order to… Continue reading The Low Ceiling of Artificial Intelligence

Why are Math Olympians Unattractive?

I recently came across a picture of some local students who competed at a national mathematics competition, doing pretty well. To nobody’s surprise, none of these teenage boys and girls, of which there were much fewer than boys, would score high in the Looks Olympics. However, as IQ and physical attractiveness are positively correlated, it… Continue reading Why are Math Olympians Unattractive?

Social Policy Influences Mate Selection

The effect social policy has on mate selection seems to a taboo subject that the elites want to keep out of sight. In reality, though, social policy has far-reaching influence on mate selection. An easy example is an exuberant welfare state in which even the non-productive members of society can live like millionaires. If economic… Continue reading Social Policy Influences Mate Selection

The Welfare Aristocracy is Real

There is the right-wing saying that at the top and bottom of the wealth pyramid consists of an hereditary aristocracy. Let us ignore that the terminology is wrong as the etymological root of “aristocrat” is the Greek aristos, i.e. “the best”. By definition, if you stratify society based on wealth, then the wealthiest end up… Continue reading The Welfare Aristocracy is Real

The Directionality of Female Mate Selection

I recently thought about the problem women have in selecting a suitable mate. As they are not the one’s approaching men, for the very most part, their theoretically best approach is to put themselves in an environment where they can meet the highest-status men that would consider them as a mate. While men do not… Continue reading The Directionality of Female Mate Selection

Will Musk’s DOGE Decimate the IT Services Industry?

Following the work of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is very entertaining. Basically every day they cancel DEI contracts for grifters and kick out huge swatches of Deep State bureaucrats. Looking beyond just the government, however, I had the impression that the impact of his work will be much more far reaching and… Continue reading Will Musk’s DOGE Decimate the IT Services Industry?

Nihilism in Clown World Companies

I wrote about tech being a clown-world career before. Tech is not the only clown-world career. Clown world is far reaching. I think every company that is not making profits and instead pursues bogus metrics, such as “downloads” or “monthly active users” or “gross merchandise volume” is quite likely a clown-world operation. These companies can… Continue reading Nihilism in Clown World Companies

Methylphenidate and Personality Changes

As a regular user of methylphendidate (MPH), a very serious and highly effective drug, I spend considerable time paying attention to my mind and body, trying to articulate how this drug impacts me. This also includes tracking biomarkers. There is one aspect that is sometimes pointed out as a potential risk, namely personality changes. Apparently,… Continue reading Methylphenidate and Personality Changes

The Interlocked Dual Fantasy Story of Pretty Woman (1990)

I just finished watching the romantic comedy Pretty Woman (1990), which recently had been mentioned in the comments section. This film pairs two of the biggest stars of their time, Richard Gere and Julia Roberts. In the 1990s, this was comparable to pairing up Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, albeit both of them look a… Continue reading The Interlocked Dual Fantasy Story of Pretty Woman (1990)

The Limits of a Superparasitical Economy

Arguably the biggest news of the last few days is that the official regime-change operation of the US government, USAID, is getting its wings clipped, with a far-reaching cut in spending and the introduction of adult supervision. Up until very recently, this agency seemed to have operated without any accountability, using US taxpayer money to… Continue reading The Limits of a Superparasitical Economy

Pushing and Coasting: A Responsible Regimen for Taking Cognitive Enhancers

As you know from a previous post, I accidentally ended up with a prescription for methylphenidate (MPH). I take it not infrequently as the benefits are quite noticeable. Quite frankly, I think that MPH is an incredible drug. That being said, I do not want to conform to the default drug dosage regimen as I… Continue reading Pushing and Coasting: A Responsible Regimen for Taking Cognitive Enhancers

Leftist Word Games: Non-Illegal Illegal Immigrants and Non-Free Freedom of Speech

I detest a lot about the unhinged left, in particular their never-ending word games. In this article, I point out two instances, one related to immigration and the other to higher education. They are completely obvious, yet we have a multi-billion media apparatus that wants to tell us that blue is akshually red and that… Continue reading Leftist Word Games: Non-Illegal Illegal Immigrants and Non-Free Freedom of Speech

Experiments in Lowering Blood Pressure and Heart Rate

Recently I wrote, albeit more in passing, about my increased focus on health, based on tracking certain biomarkers. This is not because I live an unhealthy life, which I most certainly do not. Instead, I want to better understand my body and be aware of any potential issue, however minor. This became more relevant after… Continue reading Experiments in Lowering Blood Pressure and Heart Rate

Success Envy and Stupidity: Reflections on the Media Treatment of Trump and Musk

Arguably the currently most important people on the political scene in the West are Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Both have a lot in common: they are billionaires, they come from rich families, and they have had more success than their fathers. In addition, they are if not right-leaning then at the very least against… Continue reading Success Envy and Stupidity: Reflections on the Media Treatment of Trump and Musk

The Philosophical Case for and Against Methylphenidate

In a recent comment, Yarara raised a philosophical question about taking methylphenidate (MPH), namely the position of not wanting to expose oneself to anything artificial, such as processed foods. The extreme position is to not consume anything that is not naturally occurring in nature, which is not a position he holds. MPH is an artificial… Continue reading The Philosophical Case for and Against Methylphenidate
