In this post I describe my first experiences with methylphenidate. I want to make it very clear that I do not condone any kind of illicit use or purchasing of stimulants. My backstory is that I went to see a psychiatrist because I was curious if I would get an autism diagnosis (“Asperger syndrome”), and… Continue reading Methylphenidate: Day One
I obviously do not need to tell you that female beauty peaks early and that they all hit the wall in their mid-30s, give or take a few years. However, what is perhaps not so easy to visualize is how rapid this process is and how much different women look who are not even that… Continue reading The Dangers of Marrying Older Women: Early 30s vs. Early 40s
I have written about inappropriate female behaviors in the workplace in the past. Here is another behavior I have encountered a few times, i.e. women talking about their sexual availability. I work in an office environment. My area of work used to be male-dominated. Technically, it still is, but a lot of the men behave… Continue reading Women Opportunistically Announcing their Relationship Status
I recently heard of a most curious incident in Germany. I have verified it but I want to keep the exact details for myself as that is not relevant for the point I am going to make, and the people involved probably do not need further attention. Anyway, there used to be an iron-clad law… Continue reading Why Would People Protest Against a School in the Neighborhood?
Earlier this year, I started making more of an effort of going through my backlog, with a particular focus on games and movies, but there are also other achievements I wanted to tackle, such as improving my headstand — it is is better than it ever was, after weeks of practice, and it is now… Continue reading Why Modern Games and Movies are Not Memorable

I recently skimmed Jonathan Haidt’s book The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness. In case you are not familiar with him, this guy sucks up to Jordan “Benis” Peterson, is a “public intellectual”, and part of the “intellectual dark web”, whatever that is. It also happens… Continue reading Why Parents no Longer Let Their Kids Play Outside
I recently read up on psychopathy. Robert D. Hare wrote a couple of books on that topic, but Martha Stout also comes up a lot. Her book The Psychopath Next Door seems to be selling quite well. For some reason, I have not yet bought any of her books. I assure you that it has… Continue reading Female Nature and Psychopathy
I am asking for a friend: does anyone of you have experience with taking methylphenidate? I am not interested in anyone’s adventures in recreational off-label usage (in Minecraft), though. Instead, I would like to learn more about the performance-enhancing aspects and experienced long-term effects, based on typical therapeutic dosages (10 mg). Common brand names are… Continue reading Request: Methylphenidate Experiences

I have been trying to find good action movies made after the turn of the millennium but I am not having a lot of success. It is true that there are still some pretty entertaining and somewhat recently made movies out there. However, they are all quite one-dimensional. I will contrast some pre- and post-2000s… Continue reading Action Movies Got a Lot Dumber in the 2000s
Leftism is a loser mentality. People endorse leftist ideology for one reason alone: they realize that they cannot compete fairly and openly, so they want to band together and rub the productive members of society of their wealth, income, and even status. They vilify even the merely comfortable middle class. Of course, there is also… Continue reading When Leftists Encounter Meritocracy

One argument people make for having children is that without them, they would not leave a “legacy” behind. I think this is a fundamentally misguided idea. Children extend your genetic lineage but you will be forgotten within one or two generations. This is not necessarily a defeatist position, however. Instead of thinking in terms of… Continue reading Children Provide Continuation, Not Legacy
I did a bit of gardening this summer. If you have never engaged in this activity yourself, you may be surprised how quickly plants you do not want to have in your garden take roots and multiply. No, this is not at all a racist metaphor. I only refer to plants that ruin the composition… Continue reading Roses and Bitchy Women
The Chinese concept of “leftover women”, i.e. unmarried women past the age of 27, is quite well-known in the West. The idea is simply that a woman should get married while she is still young and at least moderately fertile. An unmarried older woman, however, risks remaining single all her life because men may simply… Continue reading Japanese Women and Christmas Cake
There was a time when women first and foremost defined themselves as nurturers, wanting to take care of their husband and children, her aging parents, and the household. They furthermore held the community together by engaging in idle chatting with other women in the village, and helping local news spread. In modernity, there is a… Continue reading Megan Fox and the Self-Perception of the Modern Woman

My favorite Jewish director is probably Michael Mann. I think I can safely put him in my top 5 movie directors of all-time list. He has not directed a lot of movies, but his work is of a generally very high quality. Heat (1995) is arguably his best movie. Apart from the cinematography, I like… Continue reading Male Pragmatism vs Female Day-Dreaming

My blog aaronselias.com recently got hacked with a “malicious redirect”. Probably, the hack happened via a compromised plugin. It seems the issue is now fixed but please do me a favor and go to that site. At least on my computer the redirects no longer happen whereas they used to appear in about 70% of… Continue reading Admin Note: Aaronselias.com Got Hacked

In the comments section we recently had a discussion about social climbing and the fact that good-looking women may get lucky and ascend to the highest levels of societ, simply by giving a wealthy man a boner and that guy following his desires. There are plenty such examples. For instance, a prominent one in German… Continue reading Social-Climbing is a Three-Generations Project
A few weeks ago, a bridge in one of the larger German cities collapsed, seemingly out of nowhere. This happened in Dresden, which is probably only known to people outside of Europe for the Allied bombing campaign. Presumably the Allies thought there were child soldiers hiding in tunnels and the Germans were using civilians as… Continue reading Infrastructure Collapse is the Tipping Point of Clown World
The other day I had to get up early for an errand. On the way, I crossed paths with primary school class. It seems they were on an excursion. All the kids were holding hands in pairs. Of course, doing so is good practice, assuming the kids follow this simple instruction, as it makes it… Continue reading Forced Race-Mixing in Primary School
I recently viewed a house in a remote village. What struck me immediately was that the somewhat eccentric design of the building. The real estate agent mentioned the wife of the guy who built the house a few times and apparently he had a lot more to tell. As the viewing went on, I became… Continue reading The Woman Who Ruined the Company Owner
Recently I came across a video, sadly not on YouTube, so it is not easy to share it, in which a woman in her late 20s or early 30s vents for a few minutes about her lack of success in the dating market. She still looked pretty good for her age, which means that she… Continue reading “Always a F…ing Android, never an iPhone!”
I still spend a lot more time playing 1990s or early 2000s video games than more recent slop. A big reason is that modern games are not really games but instead movies pretending to be games or thinly veiled propaganda pieces that want to teach you that there are infinitely many sexes or that beautiful… Continue reading 100-hour Video Games of the Past
Sweden is hardly the center of the world, let alone the Western world. However, Sweden has served as the canary in the coalmine for immigration. In the 1970s, the manufactured mainstream opinion was that Sweden should become “less boring”, so they opened the doors to immigrants from all over the world. Today, life in Sweden… Continue reading Is Sweden Able to Turn the Ship Around on Immigration?

Sony’s Concord is arguably the biggest commercial disaster in video gaming history. After eight years of development and burning through $200m, the game was shut down about two weeks after its release. As a gesture of goodwill, Sony refunded purchases of Concord on digital storefronts. Reviews were good, but we are long past the time… Continue reading AI Fixes the Butt-Ugly Concord Characters

For some reason, YouTube recently recommended a video to me with the title “The disturbing life of German pensioners in Thailand”. The video is in German, but even without subtitles, you will quickly figure out what it is about. Even the video thumbnail, which puts a supposedly 73-year-old guy next two four Thai women who… Continue reading White, Male Pensioners Are Not Allowed to Enjoy Life
Recently I spoke with a friend about nightlife in Berlin in the late 2000s compared to today. While there were obvious changes in the demographics of the various districts, i.e. the city is more diverse than ever and rental prices have skyrocketed in the wake of large-scale gentrification, there is another aspect that is perhaps… Continue reading Low-Budget Airlines and Female Party Tourism
A lot of very odd events happen in the world. Out of nowhere a politician, possibly even a present or a presidential candidate, gets shot, skyscrapers collapse, helicopters crash, and key witnesses who are described as happy-go-lucky personalities suddenly commit suicide by shooting themselves in the back of their skull. I am not even exaggerating… Continue reading Schizo Thinking: How to Identify a Potential False Flag Operation
